DIY Farmhouse Style Welcome Sign

I have a couple of welcome signs in front of our house, one is a DIY Welcome Address Sign, and the second is a Welcome to Our Porch sign. But my back porch was in some need of some welcoming! I had a large blank wall on my back deck above our outdoor couch and chairs that was in serious need of some decor!  So, I decided to create a DIY farmhouse style welcome sign for our back porch.
