I hope so, V Thanks for the vote of confidence

You get a peck too

OK, I'm off to start painting the letters... wish me luck!!

OMFG, this is NOT easy!!!! I've taped off letters where I could, but all the curved letters have to be done entirely freehand. UGH!!!!

Still need to draw the letters at the two ends onto the walls, but I've got the first coat of the lighter gray letters done. Except the T -- the T has 2 coats and is done I thought I had an L done too, till I realized I taped it off wrong and had to move the tape and paint two sections of it that I missed. ARGH!!

Good thing I don't have a deadline on this job -- it's going to be a while before it's all done.....

Here are the letters so far. What do you think?? Worth the grief and aggravation?!

           

It looks amazing, congratulations

Smoodgie... it's looking wonderful!!
The little overlapping letters that you've had to paint around give a hint to how fantastic the darker letters will look.
I love this project!
But of course it's not me having to paint it

Almost done. 3 letters left to paint, then I have to do some touch-ups.



New plan for the words -- I can't paint the small letters neatly, so I'm going to order the letters in silver vinyl and then stick them to the wall. I guess it's kind of cheating But I painted everything else by hand, I swear!!

Hubby found a place online that can make all the letters I need for about $30

Sounds cool!
