Have your wooden pizza reel and EAT it too
Kitchen Wall Sign: EAT
OK, I just couldn't refuse! I was walking around in a thrift store and lo and behold, I came upon a wooden pizza reel. It was just slightly used.... Immediately my mind said EAT! {like it says all the time anyway.... lol!}
So I picked it up. Paid $1.50.
Took it home and got started right way.
Now, I forgot to take a 'before' picture because I was so excited to get goin'....
It happens... a lot.......

EAT ~ in my kitchen.... YAY!!!
I finished it up in no time flat {OK, I had to let it dry overnight ~ twice}, and hung it up in my kitchen....
Where it is right now, and it is VERY HAPPY there, I might add!!!

Wood Pizza Reel ~ Eat Sign
OK, now about my kitchen. We bought this early 70's home because..... well, I don't know really why we bought it.... It had a LOT of issues... YUK! Anyway...
We have done a lot of work on it, and with every project we get more exhausted, BUT the house gets a little bit nicer... Imagine that....
So two of the original GREAT features of this house are in these pictures: My number one FAVORITE {of course} is the retro oven... In fire-engine red...!
WOW! How lucky did I get!
And the good thing is ~ it actually works GREAT!!!
I love it.
It's a double oven, and really I only use the bottom one....
Ever.
OK, so maybe twice or thrice a year I will use the top oven. The only occasions for it are: a big meal where I have to cook a LOT of food...
Or turkey: it doesn't fit in the smaller lower oven...

The other unique aspect of this home is the huge brick wall that appears in the kitchen....
It's big....
and wraps around into the living room...
There is a tutorial slideshow below

WITH a blooper.....

Anyway, my kitchen and my EAT sign are very happy together...
I took pics while I made the sign {it was SUPER easy}, and will add a tutorial later with some detailed tips AND a blooper {yes, I caught it on camera....}...
Have a very terrific day....

Tutorial: How to make an EAT sign on wood
I will have to tell you honestly: What I DON'T like about this sing is that it says "eat"...... like my subconscious mind needs any reminding! Or encouragement for that matter.......... I LOVE to eat! don't you?
