I had painted the sides black and decoupaged cute black and white scrapbook paper on the front. It was cute, but we were overdue on an update. I was able to get most of the paper off, but some of the paper didn't come off. Due to the nature of the letters, I could have just flipped them around and painted them. Since I would be able to flip them over if I didn't like it, I decided to try an experiment and see if I liked it. (Story of my life.)
I sanded the rest of the paper off with low grit sandpaper (very coarse). I sanded in the direction of the lines, meaning I sanded the direction that I would write the letter.
After I sanded the front of the letters, all I had to do was hit them with a few coats of Rust-Oleum's Hammered Metal spray paint in silver. So easy! I am in the process of hanging these with a new focal piece above the headboard, plus I have a couple of new spring projects to work on. I also finished a couple more decorative pieces for the master bedroom that I am really excited about.
