the B

I've recently been trying to spruce up my entryway because... well, because ever since we installed the built in shelves, we've just had a blank wall staring at you when you walk in the front door! I thought I'd do a big B (for Burns) and cut it out with my mom's scroll saw. I've never been good with the scroll saw, so I was a bit worried!

I found a free font online that I liked, and printed it out on

multiple sheets of paper, then pieced it together:

I traced it onto a big piece of scrap wood I had lying around and cut it out...
don't look too closely! The edges not what you'd call smooth... not even kind of.

 I sanded, a lot. However, I still wouldn't recommend looking too closely.

I then painted it a nice turquoise... one of the colors I've started using around my house. I love it!

It needed a little something still though, so I edged the whole thing with

black, and it really made it stand out more.

It's a bit boring on the entryway wall though, seeing as it's all lonely up there.

Check back Thursday for another addition to the entryway!

It doesn't look so bad here on the living room wall, but there's too much blue.

I'll be posting about that blue chalkboard soon as well!

 So what do you think? Does it look good in blue? I'm kindof liking the

pop of color, but what do you guys think?
