Subway dresser #3




 And here we go again -

BEFORE




 a lot of these letters had to be touched up because ( and this is the first time this has happened to me )
 when I took the stickers off I was left with this


I had to use an artist brush ( because I am an artist - not - lol ) and fix it all up - but it came out not too shabby, right?


I'd love to keep this - the colors go perfectly in my living room - but would have to get rid of something else and I've already listed it for sale - but if it doesn't go it can definitely stay at home for a little while.




Is there a house big enough out there where I could just keep all the treasures I find????????

  2. I love how it turned out! Such fabulous vision ...

    ... and I was planning on using some stickers on a dresser project too and now I'm worried about that touch up possibility. I do not have a steady hand!

Due to a large amount of spam ( that I'm tired of going back to posts and deleting ) I'll be using comment moderation from now on !!!
Can I beat these spammers at their own game? Probably not - but I'm going
