Kitchen Eat Sign - A Thrifty Find
by
DeeDee
I've been wanting an Eat sign for our kitchen forever, but I am too cheap to pay lots of money for one, so I finally made one of my own!
We've been looking at letters every time we go to thrift shops, yard sales or auctions, but these people know the letters are wanted by us DIY types so they mark those prices up!
Just so happens the last swap meet we had in our little town finally gave me what I wanted. E A T letters for a good price! $2 each! YAY!
Since the letters had a slick surface, I wanted to used a primer first. We had Rustoleum primer good for metals on hand, so that's what I used. I used Krylon's Pumpkin Orange gloss paint for my color.
I just grabbed a scrap piece of wood for my painting surface and got to work.
There they are hanging over the kitchen window.
I love the orange! It really pops against the lighter colors in our kitchen. I guess you could say it makes a statement! Ha ha!
