This was just a really fun project. I found this twin foot board at an estate sale.
This is the only before picture I have. See it leaning against the wall? It was the typical yellow cream most of these pieces have.
I painted it French Gray and left the gold details, added hooks from Hobby Lobby that were painted white and antiqued, and then made the "DREAM" banner.
To make the banner, I used wooden letters from Jo Ann's. I spray painted the edges gold to match the detailing on the foot board. Next I traced around the letters on antique sheet music, cut out and applied with decoupage medium. Finally the letters were hot glued on a piece of twine.
For some reason, nothing I had looked good hanging on the hooks. So I decided to show some of the frames I had just painted. Decorator's block? Maybe.
Anyway, I really love how this turned out and it has already been taken to the Antique Mall.

ReplyDeleteoh, this is sooo pretty! I don't think you need anything to hang on the hooks, except maybe a linen scarf!
