The Forge: new frontiers in whole life carbon reduction

You may have to live with a half-painted room for a little bit, but before you know it, that room will be done and will feel fresh and new.

pretty much the funnest name for an etsy shop ever?It doesn’t hurt that the shop owner, Kristen is just as lovely as her shop’s name either.. Kristen recently sent me one of the super cute wood signs that she custom cuts in Denver, Colorado.

I got to play around with it in different parts of my house and review it for you and then… I get to give one away to one lucky reader as well!.I walked around the house holding this sign up in various rooms one day, but I decided that it needed to make it’s “sweet home” in my front hall.I love the contrast between the white sign and the dark chocolatey/grayish walls in here.

Doesn’t it just look like it needs to be there?.The sign is cut from plywood, with a smooth painted low VOC finish on the front and the raw wood on the back.

I love the detail of the stained edges too..

When Kristen sends you your sign, it will come with two pre-drilled holes for hanging.. She’ll also send along these two super long silver-toned push pins that you can use to hang the sign on your wall..OK, except the kitchen, which is up to current codes..

a little paint goes a long way for right now..I love finding new things that can be helped by paint!

The possibilities really are endless!Me and Balance, we’re best buddies lately.We hang out daily and I tell her all my goals and hopes and dreams.
