Boat Rentals Sign

I picked up an old, rustic oar at the Northwest's Largest Garage Sale at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds a few months ago for only 5 bucks.

(I highly doubt it was the Northwest's Largest Garage Sale, though. It was kinda puny.)

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the oar, but I knew I had to have it 

considering how hard it was for me to find the oars we used in our bedroom.

And so it sat in the corner of the living room for a few months.

I'm sure Jacob was thoroughly pleased about that.

He's always complaining about the junk I bring home.

"But honey, I swear I have a vision for it!"

Anyways, I finally got to making it pretty and giving it a home this weekend.

Using transfer paper, I copied an arrow and "BOAT RENTALS" onto the oar (I actually think it's a paddle though) and then filled in the letters with my black and white paint pens.

It was as easy as that.

 

Then I hung it centered on the huge wall in our entryway, 

above the office and powder room doors.

Jacob thinks it should be centered above the double doors to the office,

but I think it should be centered on the big wall.

What do you think??
