love what you did with the letters. i got a great vintage letter by convincing some workmen on the street who were taking it down to give it to me. but i’ve been trying on ebay to buy more to spell something out in my kitchen. but they’re so incredibly overpriced now. the best alternative seems to be to buy the fiberboard and wooden letters now being sold at michaels and distress/paint them yourself. they have pretty great typefaces and a great range of sizes.

This is really nice, I didn’t even ever think of painting the many trunks we have, but now I see how cool it can look.

The detailing stands out right away, does not dissapear as in the original.

Congrats!
