Coffeehouse Sign

For those who know me, know that I love coffee and no matter what time of day, there is always coffee brewing in my home. 

I have been wanting to make a  “coffeehouse” sign and I have  finally done it!   

I used scraps of lumber and chair rail trim that I had on hand.  I stained it walnut and then painted it all white. 

My first thought was to leave it all white and stencil black lettering but I changed my mind.  I wanted a little more color so that the top trim would stand out.  I ended up painting the bottom red. 

Using my Cricut, I made a COFFEEHOUSE stencil.    Immediately after I stenciled, I sanded and lightly rubbed the walnut stain over it with a cloth. 

What do you think….should I have gone with my first thought and left it white with black lettering or would you leave it as is?    

 

 

Did you know that the definition of a coffeehouse  is a place where coffee and other refreshments are served and people gather for conversation and entertainment.   Well, I think this coffeehouse sign best describes my home.
