How Do You Paint A Vintage Distressed Decorative Sign?
Vintage distressed decorative signs add a rustic charm to any room, especially complementing certain styles of decor, such as country or shabby chic. Decorative signs are not only good looking for the office, but also work well in your home. Consider creating a sign for your kitchen with a menu, or a sign for your family room with a heartwarming quote. And the best part? Making a sign look vintage and distressed is actually easier than making a perfectly new-looking sign, as the imperfections in the distressed piece are part of its charm. Design your sign, using a piece of paper and colored pencils to sketch how you envision it. Consider what colors you want the background and lettering to be, and if you want any images on your sign. Recycle something to create your sign on, something that will add to its vintage appeal, like a wooden cabinet door, a portion of a garden fence or an old wooden sled. Prepare the wood for your project. Remove hardware or any unnecessary nails and screws.
