Becky from Dwelling Room Interiors layered paints to give some letters from Joann’s the look of aged metal. After giving the letters a coat of black paint, Becky rubbed on a metallic finish and then lightly blotted them with some brown acrylic paint. I love how Becky combined different sized letters and styles and arranged them above her son’s crib.
Becky was inspired by the Cast Metal Letter Objects from Restoration Hardware.

Very nice job. I've been on the fence about letters because I haven't found anything that really stood out as being original...but these are just spectacular! I really love the varying size and the faux metal is great! :) Liz
