We found a place nearby that sells sleeper planks. It's the most amazing place to visit with all this beautiful wood of various lengths. We bought these 2 planks merely because we loved the wood, but no idea what to do with it.
We have such lovely bird life visiting our garden that I was inspired to put these up as outdoor art. Again my husband had the task of cleaning them, and they came out beautifully. What a canvas to paint on. The blue I used was what I have left after painting my bookshelf. I was also looking for an excuse to use it again. We sealed it afterwards with exterior sealnt.
Here's the end product up on our garden wall. love them and they fit in so well with our visitors.
Enjoyed the project?
