What will I be?
Now I love signs and they are the bread and butter of my shops. So...
I was inspired by Pottery Barn sign "Guest Cottage" but wanted a larger appeal.
Linda at
had this great idea. I also happened to get the door there.
 |
| before sanding down the lettering |
I hand letter and figure out spacing the old fashioned way on this type of large scale signage. I use math...you know so many inches divided by # of letters. I usually chalk or use a watercolor pencil to write it out.

| sanded and waxed |

| shows off the patina |
 |
| Waa Laaa! |
 |
| All ready to hang |
Now why I love Annie's Chalk Paint?
- It covers anything, no priming or sanding needed,
with rich texture as it is a "meatier" paint
- You can thin for a wash...love using this over
other colors
- Many colors options and you can create your own
shades as well by mixing colors
- It distresses or sands like a charm...
easy and smooth and you can wax first
to cut down on dust
- Wax just adds to the patina, enhancing color and
detailing
Coverage with chalk paint for lettering really cuts down
on the number of layers you need...love that.
I even use it on my small stenciled signs.
I use wax on all my small signs too and use a clear and dark together.
Often the main body I wax in clear first and add dark where I want it.
AND
YES, I think I kiss better than I cook
and housework definitely does not make me pretty.
