Today's Evolution

I woke up today with the idea that I wanted a wood back drop.  After spending some time on Pinterest to see how folks were accomplishing this I set out to Home Depot!  It took no time at all.   I was back home with my wood and paint before lunch!
Stain, wipe, flip, stain, wipe.  Done.  The trick to making wood look somewhat distressed is mixing 50% paint with 50% water!  Who knew?  Well, Pinterest did.  Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Found myself the perfect subject for the look I was going for.
You don't need to glue the planks together.  I'm not.  I'd like the option of traveling with them and storing them easier.  You could also attach hinges to the back.  I plan on staining the other side white
so that I can use both sides.  Brill.  Here's the final product!  I just had to snap a shot of my 5 month old bearded dragon.  Why not?
