From Old Cupboard Door to Vintage Hanging Rack
Hi everyone! On Monday I showed you some of my stenciling projects. One of them involved an old cupboard door I bought at the Albany Habitat ReStore for $3.00. I stenciled “Cafe de Paris” on the center panel. But it needed a little something else, so I spent some time working on it yesterday.
Because it’s a cafe sign, silverware seemed appropriate, and if it’s to hang in a kitchen then some knobs along the bottom might be handy for towels or pot holders.
After I completed the drilling, I inserted the screws. The holes were a smidgen small, so I used a phillips head bit on my drill to screw them all in. Then I turned the sign over to the front (photo above) and screwed on each of the knobs.
Voila! My fun cafe sign. To hang it, I screwed in two screw eyes (screws with circles on the end) on either side of the back, and then strung picture hanging wire between them. A very satisfying project done.
Thanks Tammy for featuring this post!

Very nice! I love shopping at the Restore store. I turned a cabinet door into a chalkboard in the centre and kept the outside white as it was. So many ideas. I love the old silverware too! Great job!
Beautiful !!! Love the utensils – how perfect !
Ooo, nice! Like the fork and knife on the sides – they are the perfect touch. As for me, I'm procrastinating on my projects and painting pictures instead. I have sewing projects, furniture projects, and numerous small ones to tackle. Heh, guess I'd better get busy!
So clever! Love the silverware…they add such charm to it! Returning the favor…..I posted it on my Facebook page.
The silverware just makes the piece! Very fun!
I think the fork and knife are the icing on the cake-looking good!
I love this. I've used old silverware on projects before. Yours is top notch!
I am currently working on more nostalgic pieces. I posted two of my older ones on my blog the other day — paper prom dresses. 'Tis the season for nostalgia…
I boxed up two offerings for Somerset Studio's "winter magic" assignment. I'll be mailing them in a day or two. Then I need to get busy again on my miniature urban loft. That's due on December 17th.
All is well here on the farm. My donkey boys and chickens and dog are all absolutely wonderful. Days are busy. Weather is gorgeous. Sending blessings your way.
This is so so cute!!! I would hang this in my kitchen. I'm going to pin this and hopefully make one myself!

I love what you have done with this door. You stencil turned out great and I love the addition of the spoon and knife! So creative! I will be featuring this on my Tuesday Treasures from the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop!
Love love love it! I want to run out to the thrift store and find utensils so I can make one. I'd like to invite you to share this project or any of your projects on The Inspiration Board at my blog homework. I've been hosting my party for over 4 years and would love for you to join and inspire me.
