There is nothing better than to pack up the car and take a road trip. Sometimes that's not the easiest think for us to do. Lots of us including me require lots of time to plan a trip and make arrangements.

I loved it when Heather from Southern State of Mind asked me to be apart of a virtual Southern Road Trip! What fun!

Come along and take a virtual road trip of the south with a group of southern bloggers. Guaranteed to spark your creativity and give you new vacation plans!

Heather invited a group of southern bloggers to share a bit of their southern roots with you. So get out your notebook and take a few notes from the tour of places you'd like to add to your vacation list!

I live in the Upstate of South Carolina, but many of you know that I chose to spend much of the summer at our beach cottage in Caswell Beach, North Carolina and the area of Historic Southport.

It's our home away from home. It's really the only beach our children care to visit. It's perfect in my opinion.

It's on Oak Island and only one road in that dead ends at the NC Baptist Assembly grounds. You are either on the marsh or beach front.

We are on the marsh. It's really wonderful. We host a large 4th of July party each year. Why?? The upper deck is the perfect spot to watch the fireworks in Southport. I know you've heard of Southport. Many television shows and movies are filmed there. Most recently the Nicholas Sparks movie Safe Haven was filmed there. My teen daughter and I dined on the deck of a local restaurant and watched filming for a couple of hours. I actually met another new friend there. We keep in touch on Facebook these days. She was taking a road trip with her daughter and fell in love with Southport.

We even got to meet Josh Duhamel and Julianne Huff after the filming of the scene where she is buying paint at the store. You can see all of the pictures that I took from the filming divided into 2 posts HERE and HERE. This was the general store that was built for the movie and burnt down for the movie. It was really sad to see such a beauty burn down. We were with friends on their boat and got some great shots from the water when they were still under construction.

Our hands down favorite restaurant is the Provision Company on the water in Southport. It's really a hole in the wall, but we eat here often. Here are the kiddos.

Come along and take a virtual road trip of the south with a group of southern bloggers. Guaranteed to spark your creativity and give you new vacation plans!

Southport is a beautiful, small historic town. It oozes with charm. We never tire of strolling around looking at all of the homes in this sea town. There are lots of antique, thrift store and boutique shops. Dining spots are plentiful.  

It's only 45 minutes from Wilmington, NC and an hour above Myrtle Beach, SC.

We go over the bridge from the island, and we are in Southport. You can see more of the Historic Homes of Southport in other posts.

To celebrate our beach town, I decided to make a DIY Longitude and Latitude Sign.

DIY Latitude and Logitude Sign for your favorite places on Earth by Our Southern Home #DIYDign #greatsouthernroadtrip

Simply visit this site to enter your destination. It will then give you the latitude and longitude.

DIY Latitude and Logitude Sign for your favorite places on Earth by Our Southern Home #DIYDign #greatsouthernroadtrip

You will need the following materials: (contains affiliate links)

  • Precut 24×24 inch piece of plywood from your home improvement center.
  • stain of your choice
  • Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Everlasting
  • Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Vintage
  • rags
  • foam brush for stain
  • paper plate
  • water
  • paint brush
  • artist brush
  • orbital sander or regular sandpaper
  • Americana Decor Soft-Touch Varnish
  • Computer, printer, paper and tape

 

DIY Latitude and Logitude Sign for your favorite places on Earth by Our Southern Home #DIYDign #greatsouthernroadtrip

The steps:

  • lightly sand your board to get a smooth surface
  • stain your board with foam brush or rags – it need not be perfect – it is the base
  • Add a little white paint to a paper plate and really dilute with water
  • Dip bristle brush in paint then wipe on a paper towel
  • then lightly at first brush on with the direction of the wood. It will give you an instant weathered effect
  • do the same with the pale blue/green
  • Let dry
  • With your orbital sander and a fine grit paper, heavily distress to get the desired look. You can do this with sanding paper or block, but be prepared to put in some elbow grease

Thinning the paint with water

 Hold the brush like this as you dry brush. This is with the first coat.

With a couple of coats of white. Then do the same with just one coat of blue.

Now to prep the computer part:

  • Obtain you Latitude and Longitude with the above link
  • Go to Picmonkey.com. At the top, hover over DESIGN and pick SQUARE
  • Play around with fonts and design your sign. If you pick a square with the size wood, it will be perfect!!!
  • Save your design to your computer as a jpeg.
  • Upload your design to Blockposters.com. It will be free!
  • When you print, it will be 3 sheets wide and 3 sheets long. 
  • Lay the design out. You will need to fold over edges and tape together. You will see what I mean when you print. It's so simple.
  • Lay it out on your board for fit

DIY Latitude and Logitude Sign for your favorite places on Earth by Our Southern Home #DIYDign #greatsouthernroadtrip

Transfer the words:

  • turn the taped poster over
  • completely cover where all of the writing and design is with either chalk or oil pastels
  • flip it back over and tape securely with painter's tape so it won't shift
  • with a ball point pen trace the letters
  • take some rests…..it can be tedious
  • remove the paper
  • you are left with an imprint of the font/design to color in with paint
  • using an artist brush color in the letter/numbers/design with 1 coat
  • Sit in a chair while you do this. I got comfy on the sofa with it in my lap and painted. This part isn't messy.
  • Once dry, finish with a coat of the Soft-Touch Varnish mentioned above. It's perfect for indoors or a covered porch.
  • You can see more on this technique HERE

You will notice that my letters look like they have a faint black outline. That's because I painted them dark at first and didn't like it. I then went over them with the blue. I love the look.

Don't be afraid to experiment with colors on your sign.

It's the perfect spot on our South Carolina porch to showcase our beach treasures. You can see more of the porch HERE.

Those 2 little blobs are sand cast molds of the kid's feet from the beach many years ago. They are now 17 and 19. Don't ask me how I made those. LOL! It was way before the online age. I think it's something I saw in an issue of Family Fun magazine. I can't believe they haven't been broken. So sweet.

    I love your sign! Looks fabulous! What a sweet photo of your kids, they’re getting so big. My daughter is going to be a junior this year…it’s crazy! Hope you’re having a great summer. Happy 4th!

    Christy,
    I would love to know more about your spotlights for Caswell Beach and Southport (❤️ Cat on a Whisk!). We go there with a church group every spring – much too early for the beach, but we do love to eat and shop!

    The DIY Longitude and Latitude Sign is a great idea. We just moved to a new town in northern GA; I think a sign like yours would be great for our screen room. Thanks for sharing your favorite beach town.
    Cheers!

    I love Oak Island, Caswell Beach, and Southport… only an hour from my home! We vacationed there every summer as a child/teenager… and then those last teenage years were spent at camp at Ft. Caswell. Southport is one of the loveliest coastal towns I know… and I’m not just being biased! 🙂 …love your sign! I’m going to “borrow” your idea and make one for our lake house! I’ll be sure to give you credit for the inspiration! 🙂 ~Rhonda

    Christie,
    I love your latitude and longitude sign! I always wondered how you find that for a particular location and now I know! Like you, I never tire of looking at those darling homes at Southport and the cute shops you find there. I can’t wait to see more photos this summer!

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!

I’m sharing my favorite carol on the blog along with our nativity and angels through the years going all the way back to 2012! Did you catch the Christmas Star last night? ⭐️ We missed it, but I think you can see it again tonight.
