Darling so it goes...

Some things are meant to be.

I've been stuck on the idea of using gas station letters for a wall art project for a few months now.  I scoured etsy and there are a ton of vendors who sell vintage/used gas station letters but most of them were selling for about $9/letter.  Cute, but not cute enough for the price.  So, I did a little google searching and realized that it would be cheaper - much cheaper - to buy a kit from a sign company.

I used one of my pinterest boards as inspiration and decided on some of my favorite lyrics.  Elvis, UB40, Ingrid Michaelson, whatever your pleasure, the song is beautiful and I love it.


After spacing out the letters and doing some fancy measuring with blue tape we picked up some 3M double sided foam tape and we were ready to go.  To be honest, all the credit for getting this up belongs to Paolo.  I was skeptical of his system, had a little bit of a melt down and ended up leaving him to his own devices to get it done.  


We still have other little things to get done in the apartment but it feels like things are slowly coming together.  Next up, framing wedding pictures!
