Sometimes it’s just easier to post a sign than to try to explain everything.
That’s what I was thinking when I created this piece for my coat closet…
A coat closet sign. Pretty ingenious, huh? I thought it was important for my guests to be able to find their coats.
OK, who am I kidding? I rarely have guests!
But irrespective of the number of guests I do or don’t have, I thought this coat plaque would be cute.
I took an unfinished wood plaque, painted a base coat of yummy midnight blue, followed by coats of light gray and a hint of taupey beige. Then I cut out a coat graphic and decoupaged it on to the painted plaque. Distressed the edges a bit with sandpaper, to reveal the yummy midnight blue, then topped it off with a layer of non-yellowing polyurethane, attached it to the door with non-damaging 3M picture-hanging velcro, and voila!
Now go hang up your coat!

I really like the graphic you found, this is a cute idea. I need one for my powder room.
Thanks! I have a different type of sign over my powder room door…I’ll have to post about that sometime.
Very cute!
