And what better way to do so than with some beautifully painted fall sign decor? Best part? With September & October‘s colour stories, the options are endless when it comes to inspiration.

Steps for Painting Fall Decor
STEP 1
PREP
Start by ensuring each sign is dust and dirt free. You might even want to use TSP if there were price stickers that had to be removed.
STEP 2
COLOUR BLENDING
If creating custom colour blends – always encouraged – mix up some test batches before applying. Our sample sizes are perfect for this, especially if you’re trying our new colours. We recommend blending on a flat surface or in a paint tray.
We recommend any of the shades in our September’s fall colour story or October’s colour story
STEP 3
PAINTING
Using a brush, paint each side of the words before using a fine-angled brush to get all the nooks and crannies, as well as the sides of the text.
Try one of our beautiful new Staalmeester Artist brushes for finely detailed areas. Repeat the process with as many word signs and colours as you’ve got, and then style them in your home!
