Young House Love (and several other big time DIY bloggers) issued a challenge to their readers to take something that inspires them from Pintrest and ‘do your own spin on something you pin.’
While I already featured this project for my guest post on Twenty-Six to Life, I wanted to feature it on our blog as well for this challenge since it was completely inspired from one of my pins….annnnnd, I didn’t have time to do something from scratch. So bear with me here…
So, I started with this reclaimed wood headboard as my “pinspiration.”
With that as a starting point, Daniel and I created our own reclaimed wood sign for the mantle…
It’s quite a bit different from our ‘pinspiration’ but we wouldn’t have even thought to do it had we not pinned it.
You can read our “how-to” for this project on our guest post with Twenty-Six to Life.
Hope you like our submission for the 2011 Pintrest Challenge! Please feel free to follow me on Pintrest!

This looks so cool! All you creative types make me so jealous.
I’m still not sure what pintrest is – clearly I don’t spend enough time on the internet. But now I am going to have to find out. Thanks for sharing this lovely project!

Very cool! I’m with Kristine–I only bookmark, and think of doing things, but they never get done.

I really like this! I like how the wood looks almost liked it’s been burned. Well done!

Love it! I love using reclaimed wood for decoration. It’s a reminder that just because something’s old doesn’t mean it’s not usable and in some cases, even fashionable!

amazing! I love it. I pinned this headboard too for my bedroom headboard (which I will hopefully make…soonish?). I really love your small scale version too. I think I’m going to pin it…yup, just did!

What a fun idea! I just love how this turned out 🙂 I’ve been swooning over that ‘love headboard’ for a while now, and I just love your spin on it!

Thanks – I just clicked on your blog and was cracking up at your “awkward Thursdays.” I think I am an awkard-every-day kinda gal so I totally get you on that…

I just looked up their post about it! I hadn’t started following until recently! Very cool! Looks like we all had the same idea! 🙂
