When you have Hobby Lobby's cardboard letters...
at $2.50 a pop...
and a can of metallic finish spray paint?
I a-d-o-r-e Anthropologie's over-sized zinc letters. But they're just a bit out of my budget.
These are $18/pop (these are 8" tall)

And these are $98/pop (these are 25" tall)

Mine were $2.50/pop (definitely aren't 25'' tall but STILL, I saved a whole lotta $$$)
(and I got the idea via Pinterest from 346living at this website)
Right now they are sitting in the guest bathroom closet: I don't know where I want them on the walls yet, and until we do a wall treatment (paint, wallpaper, board&batten?) I will leave them where they are. No need for ripped walls/holes/etc! ***update- This is an inspiration photo I "pinned" from Holly Mathis Interiors: maybe I'll hang them here? Not sure yet!
Anyone else getting inspired from Anthropologie? Still like ya like crazy, but until I become a bajillionaire, I'll stick to DIY :)

this is awesome!! I love how they turned out! I can't imagine paying that much for those!! I can't wait to see a pic of them hanging up!
ReplyDeleteI pinned something similar! I LOVE letters because they can be customized for any decor to spell anything you want! I love the metallic chrome finish for a bath room.. might have to steal that idea ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove these. I have seen several tutorials but this is by far the simplest and cheapest! Great job!!

ReplyDeleteLove the bathroom pin! I will definitely be doing the letters. Can you tell me where the black industrial light fixture is from? We are building out our basement right now and I want it! :-)
ReplyDeleteDo you know where to get the black light fixture? I love that! We are finishing out our basement and that would be perfect. I'm going to do the letters too!
