Coffee Anyone?
Coffee, it gets me started in the morning, and clears out all the cobwebs! First, please forgive the pics. My Iphone drowned so I am using an old phone to take the pics.
I recently was given an Espresso Machine to review. I love it! As I sat the espresso maker beside my coffee maker, I realized I have a coffee bar in the making.
With the wine rack hung one side, the space over the coffee and espresso machine looked empty. It was screaming for a sign....Coffee Sign! I wanted to compare these two products, I haven't stained in a long time. This is one of those projects that I'm not sure of the outcome.
I liked the lighter wood stain with the metallic gold that I was going to paint the letters.
I painted the letters with Rustoleum Metallic Spray Paint. As you know, I love Rustoleums products, I use the spray paints all the time on my projects.
I had seen a 'coffee' phrase that I wanted to use, so now it was just picking out the letters. I used 2 different sizes of letters that I purchased at Walmart!
I painted the letters with the metallic gold on a puppy pad. (use what you have..haha) Doesn't this look pretty!
I had some craft rope and stapled on the backs to create a hanger for each.
Do you like it?? I wish you could see how much it sparkles!
On the other board, I put a cup of coffee on (again, using what's on hand) these pins you use on cabinet shelves.
I glued the pins in 3 places on the back of the 'coffee' so it would stand out away from the wood piece.
So here they are! This is my first sign project! What do you think of them? After looking at them for a while, I realize I should have made the 2nd and 4th line even smaller. Live and Learn! Please check out my blog!
