“L” is for Lemonade

June 28, 2011

Fresh Squeezed Lemonade painted sign.

It’s that time of year, who can resist a little lemonade.

I painted this fun sign for the shop.

Here’s some pics of the process:
1. Using an old tongue and groove cabinet door (secured with mending plates on the back) I painted it off white.
Then lime green for the LEMONADE:
2. Then fushia for the fresh squeezed:

3. Keep layering colors and add pitcher and lemons detail.
4. Sand to distress.
5. Stain with Minwax antique walnut and seal with satin poly.
A few detail shots:

    You have been reading my mind lately. I found your blog the other day and fell in love with your vintage ABC craft. Now this! I am possibly planning a small lemonade themed get-together and this will be perfect! Not to mention how cute it would be in my kitchen! I am so glad I found your blog!
