Outdoor "Farmhouse" Barn Door Sign/Planter Box with Old Sign Stencils

May 14, 2017

 I purchased this partial barn door with awesome rusty hardware last year at a local consignment shop.  It was a rustic backdrop last season to some of my container gardens.  


 This year I decided to stencil on the door with Fusion Mineral Paint Coal Black and Dreamweaver Stencil Brush.  Fusion Mineral Paint will hold up better than craft paint in the outdoor elements, but I will use a coat or two of Krylon Satin Finish Spray on the stenciling as well.

I measured and taped the large "Farm House" stencil from *Old Sign Stencils onto my door horizontally.

I added two eye screws to the back of the door along with a wire for hanging, and also added a $1 wooden window box I picked up at a church rummage sale.  I brushed on some steel wool and vinegar stain to add a little more weathering to the window box.  The top board was screwed to the back of the door so it wouldn't fall forward at the hinges.

I purchased 5 succulents at our local Menards.  The succulents will work well with the shallow planter box.

Finally I pounded two finishing nails to the left of the hasp to hang a couple of vintage garden hand tools.  Fun and rustic junk garden decor!
