Potterybarn Number Canvas Knock-Off

So, I have been eyeing many

wonderful blogs featuring the tutorials 

for the well-known

Potterybarn Number Canvas Knock-off

and am thrilled to share with

you my finished product!

...

Here's my inspiration and

many thanks to Jennifer

Here is my final product:

I love how the mod podged newspaper

gives it an aged look!

I started off by mod podging strips of

newspaper onto my canvas.

Next, I painted over the newspaper with

Antique White acrylic craft paint.

...

Then, I printed out my numbers onto

sticker paper. Some of the larger numbers took two 

sheets of sticker paper. 

...

I used a brayer to make sure the numbers

were as flat and secure as they could be.

Next, I gave my canvas two coats of 

flat black spray paint.

...

When it was dry, I carefully peeled off

the number stickers.

...

I gave the numbers a little walnut stain wash

and then sanded the edges

of the canvas.

Finished product makes me quite happy!

It fits right in on my entryway wall

full of numbers and letters!

Bathroom Makeover

I'm so excited to share

with you my

bathroom makeover!

...

In just a few hours (3 to be exact),

some $.25 Oops Paint

from my second home, Home Depot,

and some painter's tape I already

had on hand, I 

was able to transform my bathroom

to something I've

been imagining in my head as

I've found things

on my many thrift store adventures.

Took about three hours total to

wash the walls, measure out the lines,

apply the painter's tape, and

paint every other

line with two coats.

Easiest and fastest transformation ever!

You'll also notice almost everything in the

new and improved bathroom is

either something I already

had and repainted or

a thrift store find! 

Feels good to repurpose!

The mirrors used were spray painted with flat white, 

then sanded. The cream medallions

on the wall are from

The Denver Polo Club many years ago.

I picked them up from

a friend while on

my summer road trip with Ari.

Candlesticks and tray were espresso

brown before and 

were spray painted flat white,

then sanded for some distressing.

You'll also notice I added some chicken wire

to the shelf I redid last month.

I measured, cut, spray painted

it with Oil Rubbed Bronze,

then stapled it to the doors.

Love, love, love how everything has come together!

And love even more that

most of the items

I've added to this space are on their

second and third "lives"!

...

Happy Repurposing!
