Here's your sign....


A very large wooden sign...Lovely...


With chippy worn paint of muted grays ,this sign goes perfect in this space.

I could hardly wait till Marc got home so I could show him my new love.
I snatched him up and directed him straight to the bathroom.
He stood there with a puzzled look on his face and said
 "I dont get it".
You dont get it? What dont you get?
The sign..
Why does it say showers?


"Why not" I replied......
{crickets}
"Oh"
I tried to explain that it was to look as though I found it in a salvage yard.
Waiting patiently for me after years of directing young kids to the "Bath House" at church camp.
{crickets}
"Oh"...... "If you love it"?......
                                                ...I give up....

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Sound Man would be the same way!!!

I think it's too cute in your new bathroom!

Donna said...

Too funny! What would we do without our men, though??? They sure do keep us laughing!

Empty Nest Full Life said...

My husband would be the same way. Sorta bursts the bubble when you are so excited about something and they just don't get it. It was a beautiful sunny day here, and much needed. I think it is supposed to be raining here again soon. So we will enjoy it while we can. Have a great week! Jackie

Leanne said...

Well, I love it. I hear crickets often when trying to explain things to my hubby. He never gets it, but I do, so we're both happy.

julie said...

Megandvd@Beauty in the Attempt said...

Hmmm...are you married to my husband? There is something about getting so excited..only to have your bubble burst OR not even get blown up. :)

I think it is quite cute. No crickets here.

Cheers~

Mrs. Davis @ The Carolina Housewife said...

Fabulous sign, Susie!

LOL @ the hubby!! Oh well, he's a man. At least he was willing to look at the new masterpiece :-)

Get Your Martha On said...

I got it right away. I'd love to spend a day in a man's brain.

Then again, I probably wouldn't get much done. ;)

~The Robin's Nest~ said...

Men... Go figure. :)
My guy would have said the same thing. This is why we have girl friends!

June said...

Oh yeah Susie, I have one of those too...husbands I mean. I love the sign. So cute.
hugs

Amy Kinser said...

I love it!

Kar said...

Too funny!!!! At least we get it. :) It turned out great.

mommara said...

That is amazing and sounds like any conversation I could have had with my husband.

I brought home a milk glass cake stand and he was baffled.
"but, why do you put it on a stand? Don't you eat it?"

Oh how I love my hubby. Great sign by the way. :)

Jen~ Lipstick and Laundry said...

hahahaha poor you... You should have called a friend to come look and get EXCITED with you...

3LittleByrds said...

I love it and totally get it but then again I'm a woman. That's a man for ya. :)

Cha Cha said...

Boys! I love the sign, I think I remember one just like that a church camp. Have a great day

Dawn said...

that is something that would happen here... unless of course it was worse. like when i brought home fabric to cover our dining rom chairs and he said "over my dead body!" so i did it while he was deployed :) anyway, i think your sign is cool. and appropriate!

Crystal said...

Love the sign. My husband and son would have been the same way. Only the would have said "Why? We know where the shower is." They just don't get it sometimes. Yet, other times their totally on board with my ideas.
Have a blessed week.

Suzann said...

I love the sign, but I gotta say I really laughed at your husband's reaction. Too funny. Men crack me up.

Olivia and Me said...

heehee.. reminds me of a camp ground sign. Cute and nicely done Susie!

with love,

Olivia

duchess said...

I get it & think it's really cute. Good job. It's perfect in there.

Shilo said...

Very sweet sign, Susie!
Hugs,

Lettered Cottage said...

Janean said...

too cute. he's just such a man! lol.

Handmade Housewife... said...

I bet he had that glazed over look in his eyes too...like mine does when I try to explain or show him something. Gotta love them though! And the sign too...very cute :)

Leslie said...

that is so funny! i love it and i totally get it!

Betsy said...

Oh men! hahaha.. Well, we all love it, Susie! :)

Joanna said...

Hahahhaa. I don't think Zack would have gotten it either.

Mandy in Mayberry said...

Well, I get it - and I love it!

Husbands are just too cute aren't they? Bless their little 'ole hearts!

Tonya said...

LOL!!! That is hilarious! Just like a man. My husband would have been the same way.

I LOVE it! Who cares if the men in our lives do. :)

Tonya said...

I mean't...who cares if the men in our lives don't. Ugh! Pregnancy brain! :)

FrouFrouBritches said...

MEN! They just don't get it!!! I get so excited when I make a new outfit for my daughter with fabric I've been coveting for months and I just feel the need to put it on her and go to Target just so she gets to wear it. His reaction? "Um, yeah, it's cute."

I LOVE the new sign! I think it's precious!

southerninspiration said...

some things are just better shared with girlfriends!!! Too cute!

Blessed Mama said...

I know how you feel. I don't know why I even get excited to show my husband things that aren't related to sports or guns. It is pointless...Thank goodness you have us to "ohhhh" and "ahhhh" over your finds. By the way, the sign looks FAB!!!

Rebekah said...

That is exactly the reaction I get around here. Travis is so unimpressed with my brilliant ideas. That may be one of the reasons I blog, actually. Sometimes a girl just wants someone to "oooh and aaah" over what she's made. :)

I love your sign. It is chippy-paint perfection! :)

mommaof4wife2r said...

i love it too! i have one in the kitchen that i love too...says "danger mosquitoes". not sure why i had to have it, but i did.

Nina Diane said...

haha! that's exactly what my husband would say. They just don't get it

Stephanie said...

Oh, what does he know?! LOL

I love it and think it's perfect!!!

mrso' said...

I LOVE it! I might have to make one for my guest bathroom! Great job!

Kelly O. said...

I love it susie!
Men just don't GET things...you know!

PAT said...

I love it Susie and to tell you the truth, I thought of church camp, too!LOL
I went to church camp when it was really primitive...can you say chicken wire bunks and ticking mattresses......this and that and the other! Compared to that, my kids went church camp resort!

Your sign is perfect!

Darlene said...

HAHAHAHAHA...MEN! Love the sign and I cracked up even more with your insertion of {crickets}...I can hear that chirping now....LOLOLOLOLOL

Cheryl said...

Why is it the hubs in our lives don't get it? Ah well, gotta love them none the less. Glad you shared with us cause we totally get it and LOVE IT!!

Christina said...

Ha! Sounds like my husband! he doesn't get a lot of the stuff I paint!

Bobbie said...

The exact same thing would happen at my house with my hubs. I howver, think it is a lovely sign and does go perfect in that spot.

Debilou~Mississippi Mama said...

Hi, Susie
MEN! - dont understand 'em but cant throw 'em out either,, mines the same way,, he wouldnt get it either. But I love it..

Lori Lucas said...

It sounds like you found a common ground among bloggers---husbands that just don't get it!!
In our family, my brother 'gets it' and enjoys it. My brother-in-law (my sister's husband) 'gets it' even more!!! So that just leaves my poor husband out in the cold. But the great thing is that he does his 'golf' thing and I do my 'whatever-we-call-it-always-on-the-hunt-thing'. We call it even and appreciate the fact that we both do things to make us happy!!
Glad to see there is a whole club of us tho! Great sign.

fairfieldhouse said...

Laughing so hard because it sounds so familiar. I had a piece of furniture -- beautiful, shabby, chippy patina. I use the word had because while I was away someone took it upon himself to "FINISH" it for me and make it look brand spanking new. Gee, thanks.

Aja said...

Haaahaaa! This is hilarious! And so familiar, it's sad... :) I think your sign is awesome! Love that chippy grey paint!

Angie said...

That's so funny- most men just don't get it! LOVE the sign!!!

Dana @ SweetThings said...

LOL!! They are so honest its funny. I love your sign. :))

Lemonade Makin' Mama said...

Oh yes.. I have a similar conversation with my man too... They try, but they just DON'T get it girl! It's beautiful though, and you did an amazing job! (As always) Love it.

Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality said...

They are ALL the same, sweet Susie! I love your sign, it's perfect. And I totally adore your waffle & linen towels below. I may have to steal that one from you, since I have a monogrammer in the family too. xoxo

L~ said...

HA!
I GET IT! :)
So does my hub, he didn't 5 years ago, but he does now! :)

LOVE YOUR SIGN!
xoxoL~

Melanie said...

Men just sometimes don't get it do they?

Nicole said...

I love it! I think it looks great! My husband doesn't get it either. If he could have white plain walls everywhere he would be just fine...me I like the nice touches that can be added to a room for fun!

heatherbell said...

Susie - I get it and I LOVE it! Men...

Destination Seaborn said...

LOL! You made me laugh. I guess that's why "us" gals have our blogs to share these things with:) I love your sign...it looks great! Lisa

Beth said...

Fun! Are you gonna add that to your shop? I'd need the hand facing a different way tho! Beth

Amanda@Imperfectly Beautiful said...

Hilarious! this sounds like a scene from my life. I have a wonderful supportive husband, but he is absolutely clueless on things like this! He would not "get it" either! Too funny.

{{Hugs}}
~Amanda

p.s. LOVe, love, love, the sign!

Ruth said...

My husband wouldn't get it either. I do love it!!! It looks fantastic. The more worn away it is the more I love it. Hubby doesn't get that either. LOL
