My latest project combines my fondness for fonts, color and vintage signage.  I've been spending lots of time on Etsy and Ebay lately accumulating these treasures.


The first time I put them up, I ended up with some empty spots, which delayed the reveal a couple weeks.  Then once I had the additional letters, I did some rearranging to balance the colors and font styles.


Before our dining room walls were nothing exciting, and I had a wrought iron etagere in the far corner.


I've been pondering several wall art projects for a while now.  What I almost put on the walls were black and white vacation photos framed in matching black frames with white mats, like I saw in the condo we stayed at in Vancouver last summer.



(Clearly those last three photos were taken before I learned about white balance!  Boy does it make a difference!)

I don't even remember what it was that changed my mind from the framed photos to the vintage letters, but I'm glad I decided on something a little unusual.  I can always tone things down and do something more conservative later, but I'm enjoying the zaniness of vintage letter R's all over my dining room walls now!



I believe The Mr. and The Teen think I'm nuts.  They haven't exactly been shouting their approval.  But that's pretty hard to come by, so I try to do what makes me happy!

What was your latest project that was a bit on the zany side?
