Antiqued Pineapple Summertime Decor plaque

I am loving all the pineapple and flamingo decor designs this summer.  I recently made this fun flamingo board but, have been wanting to create something with a pineapple design.  Usually, I create fun bright colored crafts for summer. When I was creating this Antiqued Pineapple Summertime Decor plaque I wanted it to have more of a high-end home decor look.  I love how it turned out and think it could be a year-round decor piece if desired.

Paint pineapple wood cut out dark brown or desired color and allow to dry.  Dry brush a light coat of teal or desired color over top of the brown but, make sure to not cover the brown. Allow for the teal paint to dry, then apply pineapple design cut from the contact paper.
