Hello everyone! It has been a busy weekend for us. We had Ed’s brother from Texas visiting, we got the new light up in the foyer, we finished one art project and I started working on the next one plus we went to the zoo! Wow!
This project was fun and I had some help from Marisa (remember her-the one who jumped???) with the painting and Ed made the frame for it. It’s large (3 ft. x 3 ft.) and took a while to complete but we all love it!
Our inspiration came from Pottery Barn (no surprise there) and with our own touches it has turned out to be one of our favorite pieces thus far.
Pottery Barns version:
Our version:
We started with a 36 inch square piece of plywood. Ed cut grooves with the table saw to make it look like individual squares. I then painted it with some paint we had laying around (an off white color). Marisa and I painted the circles, then the letters, numbers and symbols. The last thing I did was stain on top of the paint with some stain we have. Ed made the frame, which I painted with ORB. It wasn’t really hard but very time consuming and definitely worth it.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
