How to SPRING LOAD Your Home With Old Signs... Wear Your Helmut!

This post isn't a little over the top. It's WAAAAY BEYOND. So you have been warned.
I was about to go into a vintage show, selling the signs I make with my stencils, but I promised to be in a blogger's home tour. But because I was cranking out these old signs for the show, that's all I had new to work with.
So... what else is a signaholic to do?
I'm so glad you asked.
Why, hang them all up, of course!
So I did. EVERY where. So if you've ever wanted to know how to display an old sign in your own home, let this be your helpful tour guide. I literally should have hosted a sign museum tour, Disneyland style.
But can I be perfectly honest? Once the show was over, I wanted to replace some of them because I missed them.
Signs are like good friends. They say nice things, and look pretty. Don't you think? :)
Ok, enough chit chat, let's get this spring loaded tour on the road... helmut check?
CHECK!
Hold on tight...

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign! And this post is proof...
Thankfully, these signs are so easy to accomplish. Watch out for fallen down fences. This wood is gold! Here's what I've done with these very planks...
It's fun displaying food related signs in a kitchen! It reminds me to eat. Sort of.
Hey, it's coffee time! Literally. That clock gives me the okay to filler up 24/7! The cups are ready to roll too.
After I remove the flowers...
This... may be a sign that signs have sign ways to get you to sign up your walls?
You'd think I'd remember to pick up the groceries, yes? But nooo... they don't speak. But they most certainly should.
I felt sorry for my red shoes, so they got a really cute red one for good measure. :)
Welcome to my paint studio aka basement. Studio sounds nice though, don't you think? The signs on this wall help me stay organized.
And we can't forget the powder room. Because in all honestly, it's impossible to forget the powder room...
And let's not miss outdoors. Oh yes. We are not done yet! The shed wears all kinds of crazy, cool old signs and license plates and such year around. She's very happy with her cool outfit!
One more for the road... need a flower plant stand? Just stencil up an old ladder's side with Flower Market and it's ready to... bloom. Better even!
Lake has one more thing to share with you... being the boss of me and all...
