This is what my kitchen looked like yesterday before dinner:
I was soooo grateful for leftovers last night!
What was I doing, you ask? Well, I was finally doing SOMEthing with a stack of cupboard doors I bought at a RE-Store closing last summer (they were about $2/each). I painted eight cupboard doors in a creamy white, and then turned them in to SIGNS inspired by Miss Mustard Seed and Miss Funky Junk!
I used my Silhouette to design the lettering for each sign.
Here's what I've come up with so far...

The "Farmers Market" sign is huge...and probably my least favorite. I didn't care for how "flat" the black lettering looked on the white background, even after I glazed and distressed the sign. It's hard to tell, but the letters on the top row have been given a green "shadow," while the bottom letters are waiting to be done. It gave the sign some more depth and interest.
I decided, however, that I preferred white letters on a bright background. Here are some of my other completed signs!
This is the first one I tried the black shadowing on, and I really liked it, even though I didn't know what I was doing. My husband has not forgiven me for using his very-special-model paintbrushes for my signs!
Here's a completed "Farmers Market."
"Juicy Berries" was a really really bright green. With a brown glaze, it's only really.

"Fresh Cupcakes" is my favorite!
So...which one do you like?
Any suggestions for more signs?
I have more cupboard doors!
