Bathroom Sign

Bathroom signs are so fun, especially when you can personalize them for your family.  Our downstairs bathroom is decorated with old pictures of London, so I thought a sign with Dapper young gents on it would be ideal.

Here is one version that can be printed in parchment color.  I printed mine in black and white on parchment paper.

Once again, I found a perfect graphic on the Graphic Fairy's blog, found here.  Her stuff is so appropriate for the age of my home; it is always the first place I search.

I actually blocked out what is written on our family's sign as it is kind of personal.  Hope you don't mind.

Since I wanted the sign to look like an old advertisement, I tea stained a sheet of parchment colored paper.  When it was dry, I printed the graphic on it.

Using an Exacto knife, I carefully cut out the men on the top of the design and then glued it to a piece of scrapbook paper that already had old advertisements printed on it.

The frame is actually a shadow box with a cushioned back to pin into.  Perhaps I will look for some old tie-tacks and tie bars to embellish the sign.

Now, I want a great big sign for my bathroom that says, The Lavender Tub!  Hmmm.......Graphics Fairy, got any great old tub pictures up your sleeve?

Thanks for stopping by,
