One of my March goals was to complete a family art piece for our hallway.
Long ago I saw something similar to this piece and I knew I wanted to make one for our house.
My sister gave me a picture she no longer needed (Kelly, it’s the train picture from ZGalleria) and I held onto it for several years. Actually last year I spray painted the canvas white in an attempt at starting this project but sadly I never got any farther and it just sat in the garage.
Two weeks ago I finally completed the piece and just love it.
2) Cut out words on silhouette machine
3) Place the vinyl words on the canvas
4) Spray paint the canvas black
5) Peel off letters
6) Spend hours going over white area with white paint pen due to black paint “bleeding.”
I just bought 3 gallons of ice cream at the store yesterday because it was on sale, no other reason.
So yes, we do A LOT of ice cream.
Love it! You are so creative!
I like yours better than your inspiration piece…You could have added, “We do Dogs!”
Not laughing eh!
Love it! Agree that yours is better than the inspriation. And my favorite part is the “we do ice cream”. Awesome.
I love it! Looks great, Jen!
How is it possible that your floors are that damn clean? From an angle even!
Oh yeah, cute sign too. 🙂
Love this!!! Your version is better… we are an ice cream family too 🙂 Pinning this! Thanks!
I like your version of this wall art way better than the original. I’ve wanting to make something similar and just don’t find the right stuff to put on it. You my dear hit the nail on the head. 🙂 I’d love for you to come share your post at my link party.

Wow, what a neat idea! I want to make one for our house!
I love your wall art, too! It looks great. And I love your floors as well. Do you have an extra freezer? I can barely fit one container of ice cream in mine, much less three.
Love this positive spin on the “family rules.” it looks fabulous in the hall! Thanks for linking up!
This is simply fabulous! I love it!
I made something similar for out family and I love it. Great job!

Love it! Thanks for linking to Things I’ve Done Thursday!
This is a really great project! I would love it if you would come link this up at my Pinworthy Projects Link Party.
So so sweet! I’d love to have something like that for our house too!
Found you from It’s a Hodgepodge Life. So cute! I have wanted to do something similar on my walls with vinyl but haven’t gotten brave enough to tackle it yet. I did do a big vinyl saying on my kids playroom wall in bright colors and circle- It said “happy time are neverending when playing and pretending”
I just love this so much! Wish I had one of those vinyl cut out machines:) Great job!
That’s so beautiful! I am going to have to try this!
