I came across a dresser in a thrift store
but I kid you not,
I spent the next 2 hours trying to decide what to put on it.
First I went through my entire stack of antique magazines,
looking at ads for inspiration.
I loved tons of them, but none of them seemed right.
Next, I looked online for inspiration.
Still nothing.
Next, I got out a phone book from the 40’s
and saw an ad for a Dairy.
Bingo! A dairy sign it would be.
so I printed one out and used transfer paper to draw the lines.
Palm sander to accent the age it already had.
Have a farm fresh day!
