Since repainting the family room, I've been adding in new colours to accessorize with. So I grabbed my Annie Sloan "Louis Blue" and dry brushed the window, but not before I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the window. A couple of years living in a barn kinda makes you dirty.
Then I headed over to The Graphics Fairy and looked through a bunch of amazing things she has for free!!! and chose an easy French sign.
Then I printed it off in reverse and taped it to the right side of the window.
Then flipped it over and began painting.
I could have done it on the right side, but this way the lettering is protected by the glass, just as a picture would be.
Once I was finished I took an exacto knife and cleaned up the lines. My hand was a little shaky on the M but the knife cleaned all that up. And I'm pleased with the final result. It's a keeper.
wow, I mean WOW!
