Paint Sprayer for Easy Welcome Sign

A Homeright Finish Max gives the best finish for your projects.Painting cabinet doors and any other projects are so easy with my Homeright Finish Max and my favorite DIY chalky paint primer. After mixing some plaster of paris with my favorite paint, I sprayed a couple of cabinet doors, then still had some paint in the cup, and grabbed a couple of more.

 

Collection of Cabinet Doors

Lots of cabinet doors in storageYep, I have many cabinet doors of all shapes and sizes to choose from.

 

How to paint a cabinet door to make a welcome signThe one on the right is already done, and I’m about to do the one on the left.

Dry Brush Technique | Chip Brush

DIY chalky paint primer gets a Reclaim dry brush techniqueMy favorite color seems to be red these days. One of the black primered doors got a dose of dry brushed Reclaim paint.

 

Black base coat gets a red dry brushed lookThis is how the black cabinet door looks after applying a light (dry) coat of red paint with a cheap chip brush.

 

 

a cheap chip brush is great for dry brushingThe red paint dries much deeper than it appears it will. You can see that this is a new chip brush and it was shedding a little. Many people use these and throw them away. I keep them forever. The more I use them, the less they shed. Wanna know why I love these brushes so much? They are incredibly easy to clean and they don’t waste a lot of paint (down the drain, so to speak).

Contact Paper Stencil

using contact paper in a Silhouette to make a welcome sign stencilAfter the paint dried, I sanded it with some brown paper, then cut out a WELCOME stencil with my Silhouette Portrait and some contact paper. You can see how I apply the contact paper for stenciling in my post Repurposed Pallet Coffee Cup Rack.

 

contact paper stencil to make an easy welcome signAfter applying the contact paper stencil, I weeded the letters and readied it for paint. I use Martha Stewart Foam Pouncers for all of my stenciling.

Hang With D Rings

use d-rings to hang your easy welcome signI used my favorite d-rings on the back so the sign can be hung.

 

Red Glazed Welcome Sign

My Repurposed Life easy WELCOME sign using an old cabinet door



  Or it can be leaned against a wall in the entryway or on the porch. I love, love, love this color! I thought it would fly out of the booth at Glendale, but it took several hours for just the right person to fall in love with it.

You will love this Welcome Sign at McCall Manor from a new board, made to look old.

 

Easy Black Welcome Sign

My Repurposed Life black and white WELCOME sign using an old cabinet door and vinyl

I left one of the cabinet doors black, and added WELCOME in white vinyl. Sad, but this is one of the few items that actually came home with me from Glendale this year.

  1. Jennie,

    I have both! I have two chalkboards in my kitchen that I use all the time for quick reminders, and I also made the rolling paper shopping list that hangs inside one of my cabinets. It is so handy to write on and rip off when I’m headed out the door. I’ve gone through one huge roll of paper and will need to change it out very soon. You can see that project here: https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/easy-rolled-paper-memo-notepad/
    Thanks for reminding me about this, as I have been thinking I need to share it on Social Media since I use it so much. 🙂

    So, I say make both!

    As for cabinet doors, a good friend once gave me about 40 that she bought at an auction. I have junk malls in my area, and there are booths that sell just cabinet stuff and wood. In addition the Habitat ReStore is a good option to find them. Be sure to check online (freecycle and craigslist) and last but not least, if you’re on facebook-put a status on there that you’re looking for some. Maybe one of your family or friends has re-done their kitchen to open shelving or just removed the doors.

    good luck!
