Easy To Make DIY Architectural Letters
Sometime last spring I was busy working on a few holiday DIY tutorials for HGTV.com. How fun to finally be able to share these projects with you! Even earlier, when working on the Master Bedroom Redesign, I had such a great time making the "M" and "I" Architectural Letters for the art wall that I thought this could become a fun holiday project as well, using letters to spell a word fitting of the season.
Here are the steps to create your own...it couldn't be more easy!

Apply Metallic Paint
Brush a layer of metallic paint over letter surfaces, leaving noticeable brush strokes in varying directions.
Apply Second Coat of Metallic Paint
Brush on second layer of metallic paint to diffuse rust accents.

Spell out the season's greetings on a table, mantel or location of your choice to spread a little holiday joy.

Are You Making Progress on Your Gift List?
Did you take advantage of all the sales over the last few days?
I did, and a good deal of my holiday shopping is done!
This certainly makes me happy, as I don't enjoy last minute dashing around for the perfect gift.
The gift finding seems to be going a little smoother this year,
and perhaps its due to the tips I got from Pauline's article!
If you have yet to begin, a good starting point might be a quick read of these tips.
