I’m a little too young to remember the 1950s, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pine for the aesthetic of the mid-century diner. My kitchen lacks the iconic black-and-white checkered floor, but I have been pining after a hand-lettered wall sign commanding all who enter to “eat.” While you can find updated versions online, these signs don’t come at 1950s prices anymore.
It seemed unreasonable to spend so much on what amounts to little more than scrap wood and a coat of paint, so I took on the challenge of making one myself.
