So I got the letters of my last name to paint and then stencil some pretty stuff on to make it not so plain. I also found a key hanger box (that I had been looking for) to paint and hang by the door. So here are some pictures of my final product, minus the finishing shiny coat.....I had to take several so you could really see what it looks like... not so bad for my first time doing something like this....
I know, save your applause....I know I'm awesome! ha It turned out exactly as I pictured it so that was pretty cool. I bought these little kiddy stencils and kinda used them how I wanted to... the paint didn't wanna work with me at first but I got it goin like I wanted. I got this kinda shiny coat to put on, but I think I will wait and do it tomorrow.... and the letters are so thin, all I have to do is nail them to the wall. But I'm not sure where to put it. My intentions were like over my couch.... but I dont know. Then I thought in my kitchen.... well let me take some pics of where I'm thinking, and I will post on here for some ideas....I LOVE this blog!!!!
Okay, this is the over the couch view....I got a huge wall space here
And this is over the tv mantle
And this is over my cabinets in my kitchen
And there are 2 walls here in my dining room area.....
Yeah, I have no idea where Im gonna put it??!!! I have nothing on any of my walls yet.... so I need something. Now, for the little key house I did....well it didn't come out like I imagined so one for one I guess. I wanted it like a brown and kinda a cinnamon brown color....you know, 2 browns that went well together.... but it seems like I got almost the same color.... and it didn't paint very easily so it doesn't look very good....so Im gonna have to go get another color paint and try and fix it up. But what color??? And where??? I dont know what to do with it now??? I do have the perfect spot for it....so at least I dont have a placement problem....
Yeah, not real happy with the outcome of this one.... but I know I can fix it.... just not sure what to do now??? But I think I have done all Im gonna do today. Gonna save those e-mails for tomorrow and finish it all up tomorrow too maybe? What's the hurry right? I still got another week and a half till anyone else will see it!
Anyway, let me know what you think.... and give me some suggestions.... where to put it and what to do with the key house???? Yay! Thanks!

ohmigosh! i LOVE your name thing! you did such a good job. i'm so proud of you!! i think i personally like it going over the tv but josh was here and he thinks it needs to be in the kitchen over the hood of the stove...
and what's wrong with your key box? i can tell a difference between the two browns..... maybe a 2nd coat with the brown the letters are painted in might be something you like more - but i like it like it is! Cacey is a crafter!
Girl, I'm so proud of you!!! I LOVE the letters!! And I'm thinking I would put them over the TV or over the Cabinets.....I just know you are going to find some neat tapestry or picture or mirror to put over the couch!!
The key box is great!! I think i'd use a darker brown on the house!! I think it will give you the dimensions you are looking for!! That's what craft stuff is all about,,,,,,,trial and error!
I'm loving this blog too! Glad you have time to be on line period.......for the last few years seeing you on line was very unusual!
Hugs baby
Mom
You're like, totally turning into Susie Homemaker!
I vote for the big space over the couch... but it will need something else. Maybe peoplecallmemom can give you some ideas!
What the crap! I'm always the last to know anything! I didn't know you had a blog or a dog or... well, I can't come up with another word that rhymes and is socially acceptable.
I love your craftiness and pictures of your apartment! (I also love exclamation points!!)
Hey Cacey, Sorrry its been a few days. My brother had to have gallbladder surgery, so between visiting him and watching his kids I haven't had much time. I'm very impressed with your craft project. I think I would put the letters above the TV and I agree with your Mom about darker on the key box. Anyways, I think I'm gonna try to call you. Love ya!
