Pottery Barn Knock Off- Typewriter Key Art

  Let me preface this by saying this idea is 100% stolen from Pottery barn and Nikki at dream.design.create

I found this on Nikki's blog

Then this from Pottery Barn.

I e-mailed the lovely Nikki (you can too!) and she sent me her pdf with the typewriter key letters! Um, how awesome is that?! Goodness knows I couldn't have done all that myself.

Anyway, I came up with this

It is going in the loft and had to cost nothing, so I used an old canvas, my Deco-Art prize pack, paint I had lying around and made it my way.

I painted a few layers of alternating brown, gray, and tan and blended till I got the effect I wanted.

 

 Ever heard that bit of wisdom, "measure twice, cut once?"

Well, I measured four times, drew once, and it is still a bit off.

Now, while we are crafting up there the kids can practice their letters too!

I don't like it as much as Nikki's but I do like it a lot. It is above my fab table and looks great there.

Hmmm, liking that shelf? Check back next week and I will fill you in on how I made them from reclaimed wood!
