Ok, maybe not, but I love this art! I was lucky enough to win this vinyl kit from here (head over, she has an Etsy shop and is sooo talented!) a couple of months ago and finally found a cupboard door at the Restore that I liked. It killed me to paint it, it was such a pretty wood color and had black antiqued trim. I would love to have these all over my kitchen instead of the generic boring blonde wood ones I have now!
Anyway, I painted it black, then white, sanded the edges, and added a coat of walnut stain and wiped it off right away. Just enough to age it a little. I had a hard time getting the vinyl off and did it a little different then Lil Luna did hers just to make it a little more unique. It wasn't a major difference, and you can't really tell, but I just moved the last 2 letters I think.
For the tiles that spell out "Forever" I found this pretty cream and silver damask tissue paper at the Hallmark store. I had a free coupon, so it worked out perfect! I love it! Don't look too close or you will see that some of my vinyl is crooked, I couldn't get it to stick the way I wanted for the life of me! Crazy that it was even more time consuming then painting, but so worth it! Now if I could just get my wall painted behind it that would be even better! Cant quite convince the hubs that it is a priority right now. He hates painting!
