new turned old

I bought this new at Home Goods last week
I like that it is wood, I like the hinges, I like the shape.
I don't like the colors and the words.
It says, 'Paris Flower Shop' and that means nothing to me.
Since reading this post I have looked at home decor differently.
I want meaningful beauty in my home.
I've always been that way.
I never hang things on the wall just to have something there.
 I will wait.
I turned my flower shop sign into this:


More my style.
I'm sanded, painted, and rubbed it with stain.
I think it stills looks too new.
So I'm going to take it down and do
a little more scuffing up.

Old, antique and distressed reminds me of my mawmaw.
And that is meaningful to me.
Do you have meaningful beauty in your home?
