Place painter’s tape across the center of a 16" round board to divide it into two sections. Using a flat brush, paint the bottom section with Duck Egg chalk paint, creating a soft muted blue-green background.
Allow the paint to dry completely before carefully removing the tape.
Once the painted section is dry, place a fresh strip of painter’s tape along the edge to protect the blue finish.
Apply Dark Walnut water-based stain to the top half of the sign. Wipe away any excess stain using a clean cloth until you achieve the desired look.
The contrast between the rich walnut stain and soft Duck Egg paint creates the perfect farmhouse color combination.
Position the decorative lace stencil from the There’s No Place Like Home stencil set over the painted lower section.
Using a stencil brush and white paint, apply light coats to build coverage while maintaining crisp stencil lines. Allow the first coat to dry before applying a second coat.
Using multiple light coats helps prevent paint bleed and creates cleaner stencil results.
Place the "There’s No Place Like Home" phrase stencil onto the stained upper section.
Using the same white paint and stencil brush, fill in the lettering. Allow the paint to dry and add a second coat where needed for bold, bright coverage.
The bright white lettering stands out beautifully against the rich walnut background.
Once everything is completely dry, remove the stencil and admire your finished farmhouse sign.
The combination of stained wood, soft blue paint, decorative lace details, and welcoming typography creates a timeless piece that looks beautiful in any home.
This project proves that a few simple techniques can create a stunning custom décor piece. The layered finishes and elegant stencil details make this sign a beautiful addition to farmhouse, cottage, or everyday home décor.
