Finding wood signs at thrift stores is a great way to keep projects budget friendly. This Pallet Wood Bathroom Wall Decor started out as a sign that needed a makeover to fit Gloria’s decor. Using my Cricut, I transformed it into a fun piece of wall art for her.
This month, along with a group of our blogging friends, we were challenged to create a project from a thrift store find without spending more than $20 for all supplies needed.

How to Make Pallet Wood Bathroom Wall Decor Using a Thrift Store Find Sign
Supplies for turning a thrift store find sign into bathroom wall decor
- Thrift Store Find Wood Plaque
- Chalk Paint and Brush
- Vinyl, Cutting Mat & Weeding Tools
- Cricut Air Explore 2
- Measuring Tape
This pallet wood sign was in really great condition at my local Goodwill store. It still had an original price sticker on it for $21.99. At Goodwill it was $4.99.
The first step for the makeover was to give the sign two coats of chalk paint. After two coats, the coverage was great and I had a blank slate to work with.
To give the pallet some contrast, I taped off the sections where each slat meet and added gray chalk paint to the crevices.
I liked the look after removing the tape. It goes well with Gloria’s farmhouse style decor.
Gloria and I did a google search for fun quotes for bathroom art. Many of the ones we found were appropriate for a child’s bathroom or pretty inappropriate altogether, so it took us a while before we found this one. It’s fun and won’t cause anyone to cringe when reading it!
After designing the quote in Cricut Design Space, I measure the sign and decided on the best sizes for the words. I used Ariel for the word shower and Typewriter Std for the definition.
We were happy with how it turned out and the cost was great since I started with a thrift store find and had all of the other supplies on hand.
It’s a fun addition to Gloria’s guest bathroom.

Signs are a great thing to pick up in a charity shop or thrift store, they have so much potential and save so much time making a canvas for your own art. This is brilliant, that quote is great fun.
Beverly says
They do. I have a stash of them all waiting for makeovers. Thanks, Julie!

Thanks, Gail. It was a great buy at the thrift store. I was happy to have found a way to have it match Gloria’s decor.

I love your idea to add the grey in between the pallets! It gave the sign great definition. Yes, I agree many of the bathroom signs are just gross sometimes. This one is super cute!
