One of my favorite blogs is The Lettered Cottage. Layla's designs and remodels are amazing, but I usually read them and wonder if I should hire someone to do something like that around here. Then she published this tutorial. Not only did I love the idea of a piece of art like this, I had the perfect place for it AND I figured Brooks and I could make it happen! So here's what we did...(TLC has WAY more detailed instructions, I'm giving you bare bones here) [Image]First the frame had to be assembled. [Image]Assembling the frame was an all-male event :) [Image]After it was all put together, it was time for staining... [Image]Once the stain dried, I sanded it lightly just to rough it up a bit. Then I sat down with the stamps... [Image]I did the stamping and tried to be as haphazard as someone with OCD is capable of... [Image]And expertly hung by my Woob... [Image]Finished product... [Image]It was so fun to make and I LOVE the result! Don't forget to hop over to TLC for other great decorating ideas :)
