Metal Farmhouse Sign

Hello friends, it’s time for our Thrift Store Decor Team Challenge. Every month my friends and I get together and makeover, reinvent, refresh…well you get the idea, a thrifty find! Please be sure to visit all the wonderful thrift store makeovers, links at the end of the post. I found this awesome piece of metal for $8, I actually bought two of them. I always think two or three of something is better than one. I looked at this for a few weeks and finally decided I would make a metal farmhouse sign. I like to spend time with my thrifty finds before I do anything with them…and I have a lot of them that I’m spending time with!

I used a couple of nails and hung my metal farmhouse sign in this sitting area in our kitchen. It fit perfectly!!

I used this metal and I think its from the top of a chicken feeder, but you could easily do this on a piece of barn wood or any kind of wood.

Here’s what I did to make the sign:

1. Placed it on the floor and walked on it, to flatten it out a little, this is a very technical move.
2. Measured and found the middle of the sign.
3. Used a pencil and stencils to spell the word “Farmhouse”.
4. With a small paintbrush and craft paint, I painted inside the lines (ok, maybe a few times outside the lines). Apply two coats of paint, if needed.
5. After it dried, I sanded a few spots to distress the lettering.
6. Hung it on the wall!

Measure so your word is in the middle.

I was so lucky to find this metal! I am loving my farmhouse sign.

It fits perfectly here over the bay window.
