The signs are super lightweight so the push pins are really all it takes.
I grabbed my candle lighter and got to firing that brass knob.. At a certain point it occurred to me that what I was actually doing was holding a flame up to a part of my beloved house and heating that part up more and more.. Um, no.. As usual, I didn’t want to wait to see the results of the natural tarnishing so I grabbed my trusty dollar store craft paints and did a little faux magic, instead of you know, setting my house aflame.. -Wipe on a dab of black everywhere, including in the nooks and crannies.Wipe off.. -Wipe on a dab of burnt umber everywhere.
Wipe off.. -Wipe on a dab of gold.Wipe off a little bit, but leave it on mostly..So that got it half-way there.
Over the next couple of days, the natural tarnish filled in and the fake and the real came together in perfect harmony..So what started out as an experiment and a maybe sorta OK temporary solution ended up being one of my very favorite parts of the room.. Now I just wish I had more brass knobs!So a couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, we were sitting in the dining room eating our lunch.
Chris was reading the paper.
He looked up and said semi-mockingly, “Oh no, we’re going to miss the Dover Cruise this weekend.” we were heading out to the beach in a couple of hours.. “What’s that?” “I don’t know.” he did know but didn’t feel like getting into it further.This post contains affiliate links.I’ve mentioned before how great I think this blogging gig is, and.
