Good Monday morning to y’all!
I’m sure most of us agree that our kitchens are the heart of our homes.
Our kitchen doesn’t house all of my favorite materials (i.e. I’m a marble fantasizing gal), but it is certainly the room I spend much time in–and where lots of beautiful, messy memories are made.
It was because of this that I made and hung our family rules art in the kitchen.
Remember our Family Rules?
I first saw this idea at Lindsey’s…and fell in love. I pulled from some of her rules, and created some of my own.
You guys completely blew me away with your responses–and still do. You comment on them, email me about them, and beg me for a template.
As I cut out every piece of single scrapbook paper in that original craft, I knew I’d never want to do that again. Matt and I scanned them into his computer at work, and I added my fonts/rules in InDesign.
Somewhere along the way, though, the rules were lost out in cyberspace (or Matt’s space).
But guess what??
I found them!!!
Because we were working with what we had, we printed these on 11 x 17 paper at Matt’s office-using landscape settings. I also knew it would be much easier to mod podge the two smaller sized papers, rather than one large print.
Once you print off your two pieces, trim away excess paper to craft with your (roughly) 16 x 20 Family Rules Print!!

That’s it–they’re all yours for free! And do let this family-rules-lovin’ gal know if you create something with it. This project was so special for me & still is for our family–hope that feeling extends into your homes as well!

Thanks for sharing this!! Love your family rules:)
Thank you thank you thank you infinity! I have been drooling over your Family Rules sign for ages and hoping that you would share the template. I can’t wait to make one for my family. You rock!
Thank you! I’m so excited to get started!
Thank you so much for sharing this with others. Very sweet of you!
I love what you’ve done with your kitchen. I seem to remember you saying you were waiting on countertops bc they cost A FORTUNE! We just redid our kitchen and the granite quotes were $3k minimum, we ended up doing ikea butcher block for around $500 and sealed it with salad bowl finish so it would be food safe. Take a look! Thought it might be another option for your lovely space.

Ooh, thanks so much! We are already looking at those, too!

Shaunna how did you get your sign to print large enough to cover most of the canvas? I printed mine but it’s a lot smaller than yours. I enlarged the size but it’s getting cut off on the paper. I’ve got legal paper, printing on landscape but it’s not working but I’d like to have it bigger. Any suggestions?? Thanks!
