My project for this week is to reconstruct/modify a cabinet that I have had for years into a kitchen island.  After weeks of brainstorming, I think I have come up with a plan to accomplish this task. 

Today I will draw out my plan and make my material list.  I am going to go to Lowes and lay the material out on the floor (yea in the store) to get a visual as to how it will look.  I am going to have Lowes cut all the material to size and I will do the constructing. 

Here is a picture of the cabinet before it's transformation.

Pinterest has some great idea.

I love Pinterest.  Do you PIN?  I do daily. 

Well while I was on Pinterest on Friday I saw the perfect décor for the blank wall entering my kitchen.  So I decided that I wanted to do the same thing.  It is one of favorite quotes. 

 

So I spent Saturday looking for the letters.  I finally found them at Hobby Lobby in Wilson, NC.   I used thin paintable wood letters.  The letters are 4" tall and they were 2 of the same letter in a pack for $1.49.  The cost of all the letters I needed was $20.40.  I have letters left over that I will use for another project.  I am using left over paint from where I painted my kitchen.

 

Here is a picture of the wall before applying the letters.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the wall after the letters applied and painted.  I decided to paint the letters the same color as the wall because I wanted the quote to speak to me quietly and not shout at me.  I love the way it came out.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



What do you think of this?  I may do this on some of my other walls.  Hope you enjoyed this.  I would love to hear your comments.  Have a great day.

1Love
