Coffee sign

I love a good cup of coffee!  I like to imagine sitting on the front porch in the morning, sipping my coffee while the sun beams down on my face.  Unfortunately, that isn't how it really happens.  On a typical morning, you'll find me sipping my coffee while I sit at the computer, catching up on emails or drinking it while I dry my hair.
I was thinking about what to do with a left-over cabinet door we had from an old building display, and I decided that a vintage-looking coffee sign would be cute to hang in the kitchen.

I got so eager to start this project that I gave the door a coat of paint before I took a picture of it.  After I sprayed it with Rustoleum's Heirloom White, I printed a cute coffee sign onto regular white copy paper.

I applied a thin layer of Mod Podge to the stick the paper onto, and smoothed it out.  I find that it works best to wait until that dries before applying the top coats.  After it was dry, I brushed a glaze on top and wiped it off until it looked aged.  The glaze made the paper and the painted wood blend well so that it looks as though it were painted on.  

I attached two D-hooks on the back to hang.

Since I already had the cabinet door sitting around, this project didn't cost me a dime.  This would be so simple to do on any type of board or old barn wood.
Looking at this sign makes me want another cup of coffee.  Since it's 7:00 p.m., I'd better break out the decaf!
