Typewriter Art

I saw this little beauty (vintage key art on the wall) on the

Pottery Barn website and longed for it...

But paying almost $400 for it was out of the question.

So, what's a girl to do?

Look for a way to make it herself!

I started looking back at some of the blog archives of the blogs

I already followed.  When I found the tutorial to make my own on

Susie Harris's blog I was ecstatic!

I knew I liked her ;)

So, I just followed Susie's simple step-by-step tutorial here and...

LOVELY!

I switched up the type of font used because I

wanted more of a typewriter style.

You can do whatever font tickles your fancy!

I hung mine on the wall in my bedroom above my desk...

Susie also posted a reverse of the colors for

this project which you can see here.

It's fun to see how a plain piece of 2' x 2' wood from Lowe's

can turn into a beautiful homemade statement in your home.

I hope everyone is inspired to make a homemade statement in

their home, whether its this project or another :)
