Pottery Barn’ish Beach Signs

These Pottery Barn’ish Beach Signs were inspired by one of my favorite stores.  I remembered browsing one of their catalogs and seeing some super cute beach signs & decided to create my own. I love the beach and I love that my kiddos love the beach too.  One of my daughter’s bedroom has a beachy theme going on with Ombre Bedroom Walls so I knew these signs would be the perfect addition in her room.

Beach Signs

I picked a few of our favorite beaches… Huntington Beach, Coronado Island and Newport Beach…. all local Southern California beaches we love spending time at.

I think these DIY directional beach signs are a perfect fit in my daughter’s bedroom.

I think they look perfect hanging on her ombre walls.

DIY Beach Signs Supply List:  (affiliate links provided for your convenience)

• Wood Board ( I used craft board and I cut these down to 2′ x 5″ signs)
• sanding block
• white paint
• green paint
• black Sharpie marker
• white paint marker
• miter saw

Step 1:

Use your saw to cut down the board to the sizes you want your signs.  Mine are 2 feet by 5 inches.  Use your sanding block to smooth your cut edges.

Step 2:

I gave the outer edges a coat of white paint (no need to paint the whole surface).

Step 3:

Then I painted the center of each board green.  I just free handed this, no need to measure or tape… this is easy going beach livin’.

Step 4:

For my sign wording I printed out the words and traced on top with a pencil.  The wood was soft so I was able to see the imprint of the letters easily on the wood.

I decided to make it easy on myself and just used a black sharpie for the lettering.

SO much easier than painting that size font.

I finished off by adding the additional white border in the green with a white paint marker and then roughed the signs up a bit with a sanding block to give a little worn look.

I love how they turned out & more importantly my daughter loves them too.
