"WELCOME" seemed perfect. I love having company, and because all of my family is at least one, if not two, states away, I really want them to feel that they're loved and received with open arms when they make the journey to the city. "WELCOME" was exactly the right word - and big, bold cardboard letters on clearance at JoAnn's for $1 and some change each were exactly how I wanted to spell it!
Only problem? The ones on sale were brown, not white. Brown on builder beige walls would be oh so ugly! So, I pulled out some semi-gloss latex paint I had leftover from my table and chairs project and went to town. Nothing fancy, just two coats with a 2" inch or so acrylic paint brush.
When they dried, I used magical 3M adhesive stickies that came in a package of small hooks (tomorrow's post will explain why I had these) to adhere them to the wall - after I measured and created a line with blue painter's tape - one of my favorite inventions of all time.
Tomorrow I'll share with you two more quick no-sew projects that completed the room and share the big reveal! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Oh I just love this idea! And I'm totally snagging the idea of the painter's tape to make a straight line. My walls thank you. :)
