I decided to make some wall art for my bedroom since I'm in the middle of re-doing my master bedroom. I simply painted four canvases with grey paint and let them dry.
Next I just free handed the word love with white paint across all four canvases. I let that dry and then I was finished, here is the "final" product...
I loved the way it turned out but notice it is not hanging on my wall and notice I used quotes when I said "final". Well my boyfriend came home from work and said, "I think it looks great but...love is a little bit girly of a word to hang in my master bedroom". A valid point I myself had thought of but I couldn't think of what other word I would have painted. So I need your help, I need to re-paint a new word...any ideas?
Some I've thought of:
1. Sleep
2. Good Night
3. Good Morning
and that's about it ha. I would appreciate any and all suggestions :)

I love it! We have "love" hanging over our bed. My boyfriend didn't balk at all. :)
I love it! It looks so awesome!
Love it :)
How about "Relax..."
So simple and elegant!
you did a fantastic job! i love it:)

Beautiful! I want it!!!!!
it's beautiful! what about dream? that's a pretty gender neutral & still inspiring word :)
Tell him he can pick out the next piece of decor, this is too good to paint over!
I agree with Jenn!! It's very inspiring and absolutely perfect. :)
That's awesome! How about "escape"? :)
i say tell him to suck it up...its way to perfect to paint over....you better not paint over it!!!!!!!!!
:)
Okay this is seriously awesome. If you ever decide to sell this or make another and sell it I will totally buy it!!!
So this totally random, but what about "safe"? Kind of like safe in your arms?
What about "kiss"? I think it's cute as it is but I think my husband would say the same thing as your boyfriend. :)

So cute!!! If you aren't going to use it you should auction it off in a giveaway :) ... just a suggestion. Umm, good night is a nice one, "sweet dreams" could also be good if that's not too girly!

I like "love". Isn't that what you should feel in your bedroom? I don't think it's girly. I say hang it!
I don't think love is too girly but if you want to change I think I would go with sleep!
That is SO cute!!! What a great idea!!!!
huh, not sure how love means it
s girly, but sleep is nice. i like 'night, or goodnight, too! curious as to what you decide...good luck on that decision. it looks super nice, tho.
Love it! Keep it. Tell bf if he doesn't keep it, he won't be getting any LOVE! LOL.
newest follower from wednesday blog hop. would love a follow back.. great free hand btw.

Love it! I think it's perfectly fitting for a master bedroom.
I love this! I'm going to make one for my bedroom. I have a large wall that needs some art. Thanks for sharing!
I saw this on Today's Creative Blog linky party, and it caught my eye! I love how it turned out!! I don't think you should change it. Maybe you could save it for a different room, and make a new one??
I say stick with love, but if you change it, I like "dream".
I've seen you around before ;) but I am finally following from Wed blog hops! Hope to see you around my blog-

I am a new follower and new to blogging. It has only been a little over a month so I am still learning a little more each day. My blog is not as technical or awesome as yours but I am getting there. I am following you thru GFC and would greatly appreciate a follow back! Thanks!
Mary @http://mmbearcupoftea.blogspot.com
wow... flipping awesome...
if you really need to change it go with dream like Valerie said.....
Cant he live with love ..I dont think its sloppy after all.. he LOVES you right?
What about "macho" or "football?" Those are good, manly words. ;) I like Love and Relax...Dream...eat, drink & be merry for tomorrow you may die...what? Too long? :)- Ha!
I think this is a great idea, though. I love how you did it and how it turned out! Brilliant.
New to your blog, looks cute! I am in Texas too, what area do you live in? Love the name, elephants are my favorite animal. If I had thought of that one I might have used it. Our names are similar too, mine's Laura and I have a chocolate lab! I'm not creepin, we just have alot in common. I vote the word dream for your room!
I wish I trusted my free-hand enuogh to do this...LOVE it!

Its beautiful! I love it!! You could do something like Bliss or Eternal or Hope
sweet dreams
siesta
cozy
cuddle (that's prolly too girly?)
snooze
zzzzzzzzzzzz
And, for one manly one: transformers
dream? peace? rest? i like your "love" though. but i am girly :)
I LOVE this too!
I seriously love this! And now I have an idea for a couple of bare walls in my home. You could always choose a word in a foreign language. Perhaps "love" in French or italian would be more manly. :) I personally would choose "puss och kram" (the equivalent of hugs and kisses in Swedish).
I like it! I don't think there's anything wrong with "love" at all!
i literally "love" it.....i do not think too girly at all...but then i am not a man! stopping by from the blog hop! xo
I love it! I think 'love's is perfect for the bedroom but I'm not a guy.. I like 'sleep' or 'dream' - or maybe your initials?
Look forward to seeing the final final. :)
Cute Cute Cute! Love the cursive idea!
you free handed that?! that looks AWESOME! I'm going to feature this coming up soon. THanks for linking up to my Fine Finds Friday party! www.smallfineprint.com
Looks like it should be apart of a pop art exhibit! I LOVE IT!
I followed your link from 504 Main!!!!
This is SUCH a great project! So simple, yet such an impact. LOVE it!

I think love it the perfect word for a bedroom. ;) Great job.
I saw your link at Tatertots and Jello. The canvases look great, I've been looking for ideas since we're trying to fill up a blank wall in our bedroom. I think you should stick with the "love"!
great idea!!
What a cute blog! I love this idea!
Hello from a new follower on the hop! Please stop by and follow me too when you get a sec! Thanks and Happy Weekend! :D

Wow what a neat idea! I love it! I hate that you have to paint over it, but relax or dream are good ideas too! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate your comments on my bedroom!
I'm visiting you from the blog hop and I noticed I have been on your blog before! I love these canvas's you've made....I don't think love is too girly...but obvously thats just my opinion :) Maybe something like dream is a little more manly? I'm following you now, come say hi if you get a chance.
Christine @ krazycraftylady.blogspot.com
I love it!!! Not to girly at all. You could send it to me :)
I may be biased to the word "love"...but I think it's adorable.
If I ever get to painting my bedroom (of course it's last on the list) I will need lots of art on my bare walls and this would be great. I think I might go with the word "slumber" would that work for you too maybe?
I ADORE this!!! If the boy doesn't want it, you can send it to me & I'll gladly put it to good use. ;-)
A+ for this nice post.
cool idea ... I like Dream - being that it is above the bed ... although other good ones; Imagine, Desire, Beauty, Crave, Reflect, Play, Relax, Unwind & Sandman would all kind of be good in the bedroom .... :)
I love that idea! Too bad you have to change the word...but my husband would say the same. Following you now from Making the World Cuter :)
this is such a cute idea!
Thanks for sharing. Visiting you from www.worleyhouseblog.com
Too cute! I have 4 canvases in my closet--- wondering how I could use them in my daughters' room. I know now! :) (but for me, it will be their names probably)...
"LOVE" is nice. Tell him to suck it up. haha "Escape" is nice too though.
(found you through The Girl Creative's Just Something I Whipped Up party)
love this idea...been trying to find something I can make to hang over my bed. Some other words you could write would be...dream, hold me, or live.
This is such a beautiful idea!
That is super sweet. Love the cursive. :-) I would love it if you would link this up to my blog party, A Marvelous Mess. Each party I pick one project to feature for a week on my sidebar!! Here is the link:

Sounds like both of you share the master bedroom? If so, it seems like the right word to me.
It looks good, so I'd leave it alone. You did very good to freehand that. I'm not good at freehanding letters when painting.
Great job! This looks fantastic!
...and I'm your 500th follower! Woo hoo! :)
This is so cute!
this is so cute! i'm thinking I could do something similar that says "home" for our family room!
I love that! but too girly? being a girl and all I don't think so but what about forever, this is probably too long but I have a chalkboard hanging over our bed that says "always kiss me goodnight" I think your idea is so sweet, I want to make one for our family. xoxo
This is so fabulous! So simple but so clever. I love how you stretched the word across the canvases!
I am stopping by from Tea Rose Home's Linky Party, please stop by and check out my project, too :)

I love this idea! How about 'Always kiss goodnight' you may need some more canvas for that though!
This is so stunning!! I absolutely adore this! I am definitely making one like this for my MBR. I will be linking to it tomorrow. Please stop by and grab a featured button! ;) Tammy www.she-wears-flowers.com

Love it! I am currently dreaming up a triptych to go in front of my fireplace. Found you @ Small Fine Print
how about "dream..."
I love Moscato wine .
I think you have done great job, and not need to make any changes in this canvas print, if you not want to hang it your master bedroom, move it anywhere, it really have fetching look. i can suggest you more tag if you feel it good so write this in canvas -
be an optimist...
love is life...
I'll make some one happy today...
Always be happy !!
