When Stacey first reached out to me for help with a project that she had seen on Pinterest, I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it first. I have heard her use the phrase hundreds of times by now and it fit her style so well. When starting this project I knew it couldn't just be a joke, but it had to make a statement when you came in the door. Just like Stacey.
I purchased the letters at Michaels with my 20% off coupon and paid just over 40.00 for all 16 letters. It sounds a lot easier than it actually was, finding a font with all the letters in stock was actually quite a challenge. Between two stores and some great customer service I found them all.
As usual I chose a Behr Color "Broadway" which is almost black but not quite. Luckily the letters I purchased had already been primed so I simply gave each letter a few coats of paint and let them dry.
Next came the fun part, leveling, centering and applying the letters to the wall. I had already decided that I preferred the look of all the letters pushed together almost as if they were one piece. I used the handy laser level to keep it all straight and command strips to apply them to the wall. I highly recommend Command strips when hanging light items. The cost is much higher than using a nail but if you are like me and are constantly changing things, they make it a quick easy removal with no repairs !
In the end I think it came out pretty great, if I do say so myself.
It was a easy and fun project, especially with a few cocktails.
