DIY!

I was working on this project for a while.  I was so inspired by the Pottery Barn Typewriter Keys Wall Art, but not the $300 price tag, that I went about attacking it on my own.  I had some problems getting the look that I wanted, but finally found someone on line who was willing to share her version...which I liked better than the PB original!  So I worked on chiseling, cutting, modge-podging, oil-painting and nailing over a few weeks, getting help from the girls when I was "knocking" (aka hammering) and finally got this thing on my wall!  I love it!
BTW - You're just seeing this now because my camera has been out of commission for a while and my cell pic was horrible...but now we're back in camera-mode thanks to the people at Canon!

Your type board turned out fantastic!!! I am so glad you got it finished and that you shared it with me. Off to go and look at more of your blog! xo

The pic does your finished product justice, Melanie. Nice and clean but authentic and classic in look.
