A project is never really finished....

One thing I've had to train myself to do is STOP. Sometimes I get carried away with ________(fill in blank with any embellishment, glitter, stickers, paint, etc). Thus, the constant advice that less is more. But pulling away from a project can also allow you to come back later to add just a pinch more _______ (full in blank with any embellishment ).

Today was my refinished tv stand. About 5 weeks ago I sanded until I bled, replaced drawers with an open unit for our record player, painted a super awesome antiques finish and had sewn a burlap curtain. I left it alone until being inspired by all the cool industrial signs at an antique emporium. So here's the quick instructions:

Materials:
Spray paint
Cardboard
Razor blade or exacta knife

Instructions:
1. Trace or draw pattern into cardboard
2. Carefully cut pattern out
3. Place stencil on material
4. Spray paint about 6 inches away in short bursts
5. Let dry as per spray paint instructions
*enjoy!

I chose the number 7 because that was Evans jersey number his whole soccer life. So in five minutes I made it personally perfect with a personal, sentimental touch.
