Happy Monday. Hope your weekend was great.
I bought this French Market sign awhile back for the new house. I was not sure if I would have wall space in the new tiny kitchen but I loved it and thought I will some how make this work.
This is what it looked like when I bought it.
 |
| This is not the greatest picture but you can see the market sign. It was a dirty gray looking sign. It was screaming making me pretty!!!! |
 |
| I bought a black frame at Hobby Lobby on the clearance and painted it white. It fit perfectly around this sign. Score! After I painted the frame white and put it around the sign it was really looking dirty gray to me. Soooo....... |
 |
| So what I did was get out my trusty white paint and added water to the paint. About 1/4 cup paint to 1/4 cup warm water. Then I took my paint brush wet and dipped it in the paint and painted it over the surface of the sign. I took a wet rag and wiped off the paint. This allowed for the stencil to come through. I did this 3 times to get this white/gray wash look. |
I like the white wash look to this sign so much better than the dirty gray look.
Working on getting the kitchen done to show you soon. This sign makes a great addition to the kitchen eating area.
Have a great week.
