Repurposed Headboard Sign with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

By Dana Tucker 5 Comments

This is a fun project that we just finished that I wanted to share with you. One of the cool things about living in our new neighborhood is that a lot of the people here give their homes names. Our next door neighbors have the “Funny Farm”, another neighbor has “Blackberry Hollow” and yet another is “Mule Ridge Farm”. So, we batted around potential names for our new place and finally settled on “Bella Vista”, or “beautiful view”. I wanted to celebrate the name with a sign for our front porch.

We had this bed frame that came with a set of bedroom furniture we bought off of Craigslist for Zoey’s room makeover.

I had seen this inspiration photo on Pinterest month’s ago and knew that I wanted to make a sign out of the bed frame.

Brooks painted the frame with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Versailles. Then, he used Provence and Old White as accent colors.

We used the Royal Design Studios Chevron Furniture stencil in Arles.

We ordered the vinyl decals from Word Candy Vinyl on Etsy. We love these vinyl letters. We have used them on many of our projects. Here are a few more photos of the headboard sign project.

      I love this idea! I have one of the old school cribs that are now illegal to even give away and I was mourning the thought of possibly having to trash it. I think you may have stumbled onto a business idea…repurposing those sentimental crib headboards as yard art. (I just read your other post and that sounds as dated as “faux finish”…ha.) What a wonderfully talented duo you two are!

      Lilly, thanks so much for your nice comment. Good luck with your painted “crib” sign. Glad to provide the inspiration. 🙂

A refrigerator is so much cleaner looking without it. And if possible, adding cabinetry panels to your refrigerator is a complete style upgrade. Just order your fridge “panel ready”. A good  carpenter can guide you through completing that look.

    I just finished reading @jeanstofferdesign ‘s ne I just finished reading @jeanstofferdesign ‘s new book Establishing Home. I couldn’t put it down. There was so much inspiration in her story. I loved how she drove three hours and met with seven Amish cabinet makers to find one who could execute her signature style. And she has been working with him now for 30 years. And how she leaned on her faith to make the next right step for her family  that ending up being just the right move for her business too in the big picture. She has been a huge inspiration for me and my kitchen and bath designs and I’m so thankful for her mentorship from afar even though she doesn’t know what a huge impact she has had.

That often leaves them with a formal dining room that NEVER gets used. Let’s start a movement to make formal dining more casual and approachable. Let’s make the dining room a room that you use every day instead of just on special occasions. Who’s with me?
