DISTRESSED WOODEN AMERICANA SIGN

June 2, 2016 by madincrafts 4 Comments

Americana Sign with Distressed Paint

While I love the wood shim flag that I made for our front door last summer, this sign was too good not to display in a prominent place.  I found this “land that I love” sign in the dollar spot at Target a few weeks ago and fell in love.  The finished sign ended up being the focal piece of this summer’s front porch decor.  I used a cool wet distressing technique to decorate this pretty wooden Americana sign.

 

If you haven’t been to @target ‘s dollar area recently, GET THERE. these guys are getting a chalky #paint #makeover as we speak.

The raw wood sign needed a slight makeover to match the rest of our front porch decor, but a little chalky finish paint did the trick.

Distressed Chalk Paint

I wanted the paint treatment on this sign to tie with the planters I distressed last summer.  I used the same chalk paint colors, but I distressed the sign with sandpaper rather than using the wet distressing technique.
