I checked off another project that I have been wanting to get to for a while! I have been working In my bedroom, and I finally got rid of my old bed!! So, when we took the bed apart I couldn't just throw all that good sturdy wood away. The back part of the footboard was the perfect size for a sign that I wanted to make for the kitchen. My hubby cut the part off that I wanted, and I started with the painting, and glazing.
I like It because It sort of separates the kitchen from the eat In area.
I stenciled It, and gave It a good sanding! Lots of mocha glaze, and yellow ochre acrylic paint. I like to use the ochre because It gives It an old aged look. You can find It at any craft store. It's made by americana. 
Can't forget the back!!
Have a great day!!

What a fantastic idea. Wished I had thought of something like that when I got rid of our bed a few years ago.
How remarkably wonderful your sign is! Now that's repurposing, my friend.

That is great. Great way to reuse.
Love what you made. Next you will make a bench with the remainder of the bed. Maybe!!!!
That is a super idea for making a sign. It looks great!

Love your new sign...what a great idea to use part of the old bed to make it! I use ochre paint a lot too...love how the color has an aged look to it.

That is fantastic! Very clever to use the wood from your old bed!
Love this! I've been wanting to make a sign for my kitchen too. Don't be surprised if you see me copy yours! :)

How on earth do you keep coming up with the creative awesome ideas? I agree, it totally gives a separation to the room, but at the same time is open and doesn't block the view. I am in awe of your ability to create charming beautiful things, and as you know, have already copied at least one of them in my own home!
