Hey guys! Are you so pumped about the 3 day weekend? I can't wait. It's funny how sleeping is the thing I am looking forward to most. My poor husband misses "summer Leslie" who could stay up late.
Alright, it is time for me to be honest. I hate above kitchen cabinet decorating. If I could have cabinets to the ceiling I would {and I will someday, gosh dang it}. With that being said, I can't change our apartment kitchen so I am doing my best. Here is my fancy tutorial:
1. We got some old fence wood from Tall Tan Man's Gpa's house {don't worry, it wasn't being used}. Then TTM cut the wood and screwed everything together for me.
2. I used wooden letters and chalk from Joann's to stencil on the wood, and then filled in the letters with blue painters tape.
3. Now I made a white wash paint by mixing white paint and water together until I got a consistency I was happy with. I am sorry that is not an exact recipe, but that's what I did.
4. I white washed over the letters making sure I did not have too much paint on the brush and brushed away from the letters. I needed two coats for the letters to really stand out.
BAM!
I hope you have a happy Friday and enjoy your long weekend. Oh and...
