One matter you lot cannot ignore when entering this room is the BIG missive of the alphabet M.
That large chunk of wall was calling for something big. At first, I wanted to hang or pigment a chalkboard, but then, the thought of getting lots of dust on the nighttime floors kept me away from it.
So, the missive of the alphabet M won this battle. I'm glad my son's mention begins amongst such an slowly letter. :)
Yeah, it was easy, but since I wasn't next a tutorial, around case as well as fault was necessary, every bit you lot tin sack meet inwards the motion painting below.
The skillful matter is, you lot don't accept to become through that trouble.

Follow the innovation to describe the missive of the alphabet onto the woods as well as cutting the shape out using the jig saw.
I was working on this projection during the large snowfall tempest a couplet of weeks ago, the garage was real cold. I rapidly made the cuts without whatever guides as well as darted within the domicile to complete the rest.
Note: when cutting amongst a jig saw, the bottom side of the wooden slice gets a cleaner face, splintering occurs along the exceed surface.
In lodge to plough over the missive of the alphabet around depth, parting bead was added. You tin sack purchase it at whatever domicile centre or you lot tin sack brand your own, fifty-fifty a combat deeper.
I didn't pay much attending to the joints, afterwards all, they were non going to show.
Once dry out as well as create to motion on, the fossil oil plywood border was only besides much. But, I didn't desire to become as well as sand it. :/
The solution for smoothen edges: Duck Tape. I institute this weird pattern inwards my stash.
It worked great!
At this betoken you lot tin sack complete it whatever means you lot want. I was going for an industrial look, my thought was to brand it await similar metal.
By accident - My immature lady was working on a arts and crafts projection - as well as out of all her supplies 1 googly oculus cruel to the floor, every bit I picked it up, the thought of using it every bit rivets appeared. They were hot glued along the centre line.
Then, 2 coats of dark acrylic pigment were applied.
The finally stride was to spray pigment it amongst metallic element paint.
I'm non besides happy at how this stride went. It looks patchy. :(
I accept a skillful excuse, though. I spray painted it within the solid as well as the fearfulness of making the entire solid pocket-size similar pigment terrified me. I did niggling sprays as well as it shows!
Once warmer temperatures larn inwards I'll practise it again. ;)
Oh, 2 sawtooth hangers were added on the top/back inwards lodge to hang it onto the wall.
As you notice, the roman shade arrived. I bought it HERE. H5N1 33W" x 64L" Gray - Cordless roman shade - After around specials they were having, I paid $33. So far, thence good.
