Beadboard Hearts

Remember these from last week.


Many of you wondered if they were made from clay.

Sadly, they are not.  Instead they are pieces of beadboard and plywood.

After gluing the two together I cut out the shapes with my jigsaw.

Some I painted red . . .


and some were painted white.


Both colors were heavily distressed.


At first I thought I was going to like the white ones best.
After placing them around the living and dinning room I've changed my mind.


The white hearts seem to blend in to the background.
But the red really pop!


So here's a question for all you lovely, talented ladies. . .

Are you digging the white . . .


or the red?


I'm digging the simple, rustic Valentine cheer they have added to my rooms with minimal effort on my part!

Until tomorrow,

Robin

  2. Digging them both. :-) How about a pink one? Or an aqua...ooohhh....aqua. In a garland? That would be neat! How about a red rag garland with the white ones? Or a white rag garland with the aqua ones? That should keep you busy for a while. he he he

  6. I think they are both equally as cute! I'm leaning towards the red but the white ones would be pretty year round. :) Michelle

  8. These beadboard hearts are so cute!! I agree with you, I like the pop of color the red hearts have. Maybe put a white heart with some greenery and then it will stand out more. Both hearts are adorable though and I love the distessing!

  9. I love these!!! Especially the red. I think hearts can be used all year round, so maybe in different colors? I have to get some beadboards!

  12. Hi Robin,
    I love both of them, but the red does stand out better against all of your lovely white accessories.
    Hugs, Cindy

  15. Yep, I like the red ones the best right now since it's close to Valentine's Day. But I think the whites ones you can leave out longer.

  16. I'm no help at all because I think they both look great (and very clever of you too!). I also agree with Jen@Notes... how cute would a distressed aqua version be? Love your idea of just stashing them around the house here and there.

  17. I like the red! I would usually like white, but since I have so much white around my house the red would pull out my shabby chic fabrics much better. But I do love the white as well! Great job : 0
