Turning Old Doors Into Art


I've done a few project lately where I've turned old doors into signs. Here are two signs that I made for my good friend Kara.

Kara requested a sign to give to a friend as a housewarming gift with the words from Isaiah 61:3. I found an old door, painted it a cream color, distressed it, and painted on the lettering.



And I made this one for Kara to hang in her home...

  1. I love following your blog - your family and your projects are simply beautiful! Thank you for all of the inspiration. Love that sign with the Isiah verse. What is the name of the font you used? I've seen you use that font before and it's just so pretty.

  6. Aimee...I love this saying! Your work is great! You sound like me...I can't look at anything without instantly being bombarded with ideas of what I could do with it! You sure do make good use of your gift of creativity! And with three little people in your house! Amazing!

  7. I love all your sign projects! One of these days I will get all the supplies needed to make a sign. We live on a farm so I'm forever finding cool pieces of wood that I collect in hopes of someday using to make a sign. One of these days...when life slows down a bit :)

  10. Do you paint this all freehand or do you somehow use a stencil? I love all your work. Would love to make the one for the boys room for my grandkids.

    1. I create a template using Microsoft Publisher that I use carbon paper to trace onto the wood. Then I paint the lettering. I don't use stencils.
