Guys via my other thread on what material to make a screen door,now I am wondering about the design. My goal is to have a new hand made screen door that looks like its from the 40's or 50's with that old vintage look. I also want metal signs on it like this pic,but not really looking for original vintage signs mainly due to cost. So I did look over in sign section for some ideals but didn't really find anything on old signs. Reason for this madness is my old uncle had a small grocery store on one side with double screen doors that had bread signs with handles. On the other side of his business was his beer joint but that was a separate entrance. I remember it so well and that is look that I am after. Something like this will be abused by several grand kids and maybe by grandma so want it to last forever and want the finish to kinda ware some with age. It will be protected from some rain cause it be our front porch with roof over it,a 30'x12' So maybe some blowing rain, but not directly getting rain on.Looking for kinda rustic design or farm house design I guess if there is a difference. Looking for advice on design looks and maybe something to sign makers who make vintage signs. Links are alway helpful,from Day Dreamer thanks
