Another Fun Repurposing Project

Like so many of you talented bloggers out there, nothing makes me happier than to breath new life into the old, the ugly, or the once loved treasures that I unearth at thrift shops or garage sales!  Today I'd like to show you one of my latest repurposing projects, a fun cafe sign with a vintage vibe!

 I'm a bad blogger once again, as in my excitement to paint this puppy, I neglected to take a "before" shot!  At any rate, this started out as a plain, ordinary dark wooden platter.  Nothing exciting.  Rather ho-hum, actually!  I began by painting it one of my favorite creamy shades, followed by a generous dose of distressing, and my trusty ol' antiquing glaze.

 I am totally in love with this cafe design from the Graphics Fairy!  I thought it would be a perfect match for my new sign!

 So, I decoupaged it on, and added a sawtooth hanger to the back, so the sign can be hung.  I thought it would look neat perched on an easel, too!

 I've added it to my Etsy shop, if you care to take a look!

Gotta run, it's back to painting and decoupaging for me!

Now go out and find something to repurpose!!!
