DIY Office Sign

As we were planning the home office makeover on a budget, I was floored when I was researching office signs to hang in the room. I found some beautiful options to hang above my desk and then was let down with all their hefty price tags. And, they were a lot smaller than what I was looking for. What is a home office makeover on a budget with a small $75 sign?

Not mine, that’s for sure. So, like everything we do around here, I knew if I wanted to have an office sign above my desk, I would have to make one. Why do I even try it the other way? 

 

I have to tell you that I have had some coincidences lately that have made this budget decorator very happy. In the past few months, there have been about ten times that I have wanted to buy something either online or in a store and decided against it because of the price.

The crazy part is that then I would go on a thrift store/Restore hunt and find exactly what I was going to buy. I am not even kidding!!! Matt has been with me a couple of the times and now when it happens, we just look at each other and laugh. It is so crazy! It is the budget-saving gods looking out for me all the time. That is exactly what happened with this DIY Office Sign. 

I came across this piece at my local Restore after I saw all the high-priced office signs online. Literally, it was the same week!

It came off a building and it was the perfect size for my office sign. Oh yeah…. it was $2.50. #takethatonlinesigns

Supply List For Making This DIY Office Sign:

“Driftwood”- Dixie Belle Paint Company

“Coal Black”- Fusion Mineral Paint

Cricut

Paint Brush

I always get asked what the paint color is on my desk – “Park Bench” Fusion Mineral Paint

 

Just like the DIY sign I made for our kitchen makeover, I wanted this DIY Office Sign to be black with either a white or light gray background.

I decided on “Driftwood” from Dixie Belle Paint Company for the background and “Coal Black” from Fusion Mineral Paint for the trim and the letters. I used my Cricut to cut letter stencils for the sign. 

This is a little sneak peek of where we are with the office.

It is still a work in progress and even this little area will change some, but I was really excited to show you the DIY Farmhouse Office Sign that I made for $2.50! 

I have been hanging onto the this crib piece for this exact spot. Do you see what I mean when I say this sign fit the spot perfectly?! 

The power of DIY. You can make anything you love for a fraction of the cost. 

This DIY Office Sign didn’t take a ton of time to make. I am thankful for my Cricut over and over again when I finish projects like this. It has saved me so many times.
