An Old Window Screen Sign For My Potting Bench By The Shed

I found several old window screens at a garage sale a few years ago. 

This one gets its second makeover here.

In the screen's first outdoor garden makeover, I stenciled it with a grain sack stripe and a red tractor.  I also added a planter box HERE.

Yesterday, I removed the planter box, and painted over the screens using Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Drop Cloth It took several coats of paint.

I then pulled out my new 2021 Cafe Stencil from Old Sign Stencils,

I have used this stencil on a toolbox project HERE.  These stencils coordinate for easy mixing and matching!

I laid the screen horizontally this time, and added both stencils.

I taped them down with blue painter's tape.

I pounced on the Garden Tools and Cafe Stencils using Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash,Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Kudzu, and Dixie Belle in Barn Red.

I substituted "Eat In - Take Out" with "Garden" from the Garden Tools stencil.  "Garden Cafe" was more fitting for my sign.

I used Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray in Satin to protect the paint and stenciling outside.  I sprayed on two coats.

I have changed up the shed wall decor, and also hung my Farm Supply Window project.
