Don't you love it when you have an idea for a project, it isn't going as you expected, you think it's going to be a SCRAP IT! project, then you're pleasantly surprised of the end result? That was this cabinet door hanging sign for me. This project ended up being easy and cute in the end and I'm really excited about adding it to my arsenal of fall decor.
When I originally thought of doing this project, I went straight to Home Depot to grab a cabinet door only to find out that they didn't sell them individually--you have to buy the whole cabinet--so I thought this cute little sign was doomed to begin with. When I returned home, Rob reminded me that we had two empty cabinets just sitting in our garage; my spirits lifted and I felt some relief only to be bummed that the doors weren't completely flat in the middle. In true "Courtney fashion", however, I said to myself, "Whatever! I'm doing the project anyway...hopefully it looks ok in the end". I wasn't going to give up THAT easily.
SUPPLIES:
STEP 1: Prep cabinet door
STEP 2: Tape & spray paint
STEP 3: Paint & rough up "frame"
STEP 4: Drill holes and add twine
STEP 5: Adhere barley
I'm really happy with how this hanging cabinet door sign came out. I was thinking it was going to look weird that the center of my sign wasn't flat (it has the center raised panel thing) but I think it came out pretty cute. Since I love the country/rustic style, I could really use this sign year round!
