A few weeks ago Maggie, over at decorating.answers.com contacted Desert Girls Vintage about a possible DIY guest post opportunity featuring a unique DIY project. Maggie couldn't be sweeter or more professional. We look forward to working with her again soon.
Today I am giving you a more extended view of the DIY project I shared with decorating.answers.com. You can see that post here. Please do hop on over and take a peek when you get a chance.
I saw an idea, awhile back, on Pinterest that I wanted to mimic: Spray paint alphabet magnets gold. It looked like a fun little project to make my fridge far more chic--in a playful way. Isn't it funny, though, how one idea from someone else can evolve into something entirely unique and original?
The piece of old fence board I used to set the letters on while I sprayed them ended up the main art project and I can't wait to show you the result!
Who doesn't have a set or two of these hanging around? Are you tired of looking at them yet? Let's make them pretty!
Rust-oleum gold metallic spray- paint has a wonderful finish.
I didn't just get pretty gold alphabet magnets (that I am using to spell sweet words on my silver platters hung in my kitchen) but...
a unique piece of rustic/contemporary art to hang in a child's room or nursery.
I really love how the gold is transparent over the wood grain and the character and age of the wood shows through with every letter.

I am thinking it would be perfect over a crib in an understated, rustic nursery space. It is just the right size to span the length of a traditional crib or toddler bed, over a window or closet for impact at very little cost and effort.

That is so awesome! I love the board more than the original project (although I love that too!) Good thing you thought to spray them alphabetically!
ReplyDeleteI like it better than the original project too! It's so funny you say that about the order, because I actually didn't put them in order the first time but when I saw how nice it looked, I found another board and did it again (just between you and me:)
