Handpainted Bakery sign

Lately I've had a real thing for painting signs.  There is just something I really love about them – the vintage feel, the texture of the wood, the thousands of things they can say.

My latest creation is this classy bakery sign.  Love the stormy gray color, fancy font, and distressed paint.

I used the same basic techniques as my vintage style I’ll Fly Away sign.  Even so, I think the two signs have completely different feels.  It just goes to show what a difference color and font can make.

I actually have the perfect spot for this sign above one of the windows in my kitchen.  But because the rest of my kitchen is (still) such a mess of brown and beige, it really isn't ready to handle such a gorgeous sign.  So this one is for sale at my shop.  I will just have to make another for myself when I get my kitchen properly de-beiged.

What about you – are you a sign lover too?  If you could have any sign what would it say? 

I am linking up this sign at Funky Junk Interiors and Elizabeth & Co.

Signs are one of my favorite things as well. Yours is awesome - I love that font! I'm planning some summer signs for my porch now that the sunshine is out :)

Have a great weekend!

Love this! I wish I'd left myself more wall space. I'll have to think of what I want to say on the little that I have!

I really like the font you used to you print it out backwards and trace on the wood?
