Make the sweetest mini pallet signs with only a few supplies – the perfect way to add simple farmhouse decor to your home.

Hi friends!

Welcome back to another month of simple farmhouse decor – a series on the first Sunday of the month where I share an easy DIY to get that fixer upper look!

Here are some of the projects I’ve completed in the past:

Upcycled Wreath and Frame

Simple Summer Farmhouse Centerpiece

Fabric Washi Tape Pumpkin Place Setting

Lettered Chalkboard Sign

Mason Jar “Choose Joy” Display

If you’ve been following along recently, you know that we are in the middle of a crazy, insane, 6 week challenge called the One Room Challenge.  We are making a shared boys bedroom for both boys (I guess that’s obvious, right?!)

My whole farmhouse, rustic decor and DIYs have been put on hold while we finish up the room … THIS WEEK!  Gosh, I am SO excited to be done.

Check out our progress so far here:

Week 1: A Shared Boys Bedroom

Week 2: Inspiration and Design Plan

Week 3: Shared Boys Bedroom Progress

Week 4: How to Install Cement Tile

Week 5: Finishing Touches

But, knowing me, I couldn’t complete an entire room without including at least one farmhouse decor DIY.  It’s basically a mortal sin.

Hence, the mini pallet signs 🙂  Bonus!  They are SO simple to make and cost just a few dollars.

Supplies:

• Mini Pallets (similar)
• Stain (any dark stain will do – my favorite is dark walnut)
• Brush
• Home Decor White Wax
• Paper Towel
• Black Sharpie

First, apply your dark stain all over the mini pallet (front and back).  This was done using an old paint brush.

Once dry, use another old paint brush to apply the white wax.  No need to cover the entire surface; a very little bit will do.

Immediately after applying a little wax, wipe the excess off with a clean paper towel.  Make sure to wipe in the same manner (i.e. side to side or up and down) and to rub the excess wax evenly over the whole surface.

You end up with the sweetest hint of whitewash.  Ahh don’t you love rustic DIYs??

Lastly, use your black sharpie to write whatever you’re labeling.  For the kiddos room I’m labeling some craft supplies and toys.

I free-handed them (YIKES!) and kind of wish I had done an image transfer to get a nice pretty font.  But, I still think they look pretty farmhouse chic!

Alright, friends!  Back to getting the shared boys bedroom completely DONE!!  I cannot wait!

Remember to check back on Wednesday to see the entire shared boys bedroom reveal!

Wishing you a joyful day!
