I Need Your Opinion and Giveaway Reminder

Well Good Morning and Happy Monday!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend, and is excited for the coming week - I know I am! For one, I'll be going to my first MOPS group ever (even though my oldest is now 6), and everything I know about this one is that it is crazy fun with tons of fantastic women and I.can't.wait! Then I get to spend a good mix throughout the week between furniture building, refinishing, and interior design for clients, and that keeps my days splendidly interesting. :-)

So over the weekend I was trying to find some great Subway Art (check out my Pinterest page for some of my favs!) for a DIY project, and it kind of struck me that none of them had hooks incorporated. Ok...so I am seriously not a great stencil person (at least when it comes to a million or ten words on something), but I have the tools and whatnot to cut, stain, and put together something for stenciling. So of course I whipped something together with whatever was lying around and came up with this-




What do you think??? Honestly now. Love it? Hate it?
I really don't know what I would stencil on it. What about you???
Would you ever be interested in buying something like this that's
"Stencil-Ready"???
Because at my hourly rate this would end up costing
like $500 instead of, ohhh, let's say $50. :-)




I think it would look SO cute in an entryway or girl's room
with brown lettering or something.



This particular one I put together is about 17" x 32" I believe?
I would love your honest opinion, because I really don't see myself getting into
stenciling, but for those of you that love that kind of thing
 and may not able to build the "canvas" for it, does this appeal to you?
Then you could customize it yourself???

I don't know. If you like this one, I'd be happy to sell it to you! :-)
It has two heavy duty weight D-rings on the back for hanging.

I LOVE this!!! Okay, so I have no idea how to stencil. If I did know how, I would ABSOLUTELY buy it... but maybe a different color (I have a house of boys)! I'm meeting a friend for coffee who is a major stenciling fiend... Let me learn how. Then, I'll just add it to my long "Me thinks me wants Anneke to make" list! :)
