Home Tour- subway art in the master


02.24.10 Posted in Home Tour by Vicky

Being inspired by the many great subway art tutorials lately, I wanted to include a version in our home. A movable version and the master bedroom seems to be the perfect spot.

An easy piece to make that can speak volumes with just a few simple words.

To make: We used extra pieces of wood we had laying around and added home-made stencils. First I painted the wood the under color, then printed and cut out the stencils. I used the temporary instructions to spray adhere the words directly onto the wood.

Then I coated the whole piece in the top coat, doing 2 very careful coatings so the paint wouldn’t run.

We let it dry, pulled off the stencils and hung it up- drilling right into the wall. I love having these words right above our bed, so sweet to look at as I lay down at night.

I wonder what words do you enjoy seeing as you rest your head to sleep?

I am now thinking of making one for the nursery that says, “WE LOVE THEM”. It is pure joy to see these sentiments showcased in our home.


blessings.

    Hey Chelsea, yeah there are tons of great tutorials out on making word art right now. I love how simple and easy it is, plus your inspiration used spray paint which always gets a few extra bonus points from me:) I just used plain old paint for this project but not to worry I have been busy spraying many other things…
