Transforming an Old Sign to a Train Station Sign

6:00:00 AM

I found this great sign at the thrift store for $1.00,
but it said something silly like 
"Kiss the Chef"




(I'm no chef)
But I bought it anyway. 

I re-painted, sanded and distressed the old sign. 

I just love those signs at the train station telling you which
station you're pulling into.

So I used the chef sign to create one. 

I painted the name of a local town along our railroad route onto the board.


All aboard!


All for a buck.

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box​ ​and ​I ​hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.

    I'm right there, Susan! Great idea; this would make a great gift for someone, too. Say, someone who moved from Long Island to Ohio. . . ; )

    I love to do that too...buy a sign for the "good bones", then change it. Very thrifty!
