~secondhand and created~
These are back at Target…
This year there is also HOPE, LOVE, a heart and a star.
Last year I bought the JOY…
When I brought it home and opened it I was in love, but I knew it could be better.
So, I painted it.
Then I hung it on a piece of wood that had been outside since we moved into our house almost 6 years ago. It’s nice and weathered.
I thought I would like the “JOY” to be horizontal, but the letters were taller than the board.
So, I went vertical.
And, I love it!
It hangs next to our fireplace year round.
Last year I displayed it in our front entry as a Christmas vignette.
I also used it in our fall decor.
Today, I purchased LOVE and the star as they can also be kept out year round. I hope to paint them and hang them on some more salvaged secondhand wood!
My mother-in-law arrives tomorrow night, so I am hoping that I can get some fun posts up while she is in town, and I might have some extra time for projects like this one!
{FYI…last year a lot of the stores ran out of stock on this item. Best bet is to check online and see if you can do an in-store pick up…they will hold it for you for 2 days!}
home is…{31 days} secondhand and created joy all year.

Looking forward to seeing your new projects… and can’t wait for Wednesday thrifting!
I need this!! Not only do I love the “Joy” but the Granny Square throw…beautiful!
Love your “JOY”!!! Thanks for the shout out for Target! Love that store!!
This is amazing! I will absolutely be going tomorrow to try and find the “LOVE” sign! What kind of paint did you use? I love the color and the way it was mounted! Such a brilliant DIY! Thanks!
Thank you.
I just used acrylic craft paint.
I HOPE you have luck finding the LOVE!
This is amazing! I bought these letters because I thought they were awesome, but have had the HARDEST time trying to figure out how to use them in my house (which is a 50s ranch, with odd layout). I definitely want to try to do this! Thank you thank you!!
