Thursday's Ramblin' - Finally A Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards. 
                                                   ~Unknown
I think some of you are aware of this never-ending project I've been working on for months.  I almost feel like it's been the elephant-in-the-room for me.  Of course I shouldn't complain because we have been up to the cottage more than we've been at home; and this is definitely a project for doing at home.  My work table has been cluttered with photos, newspaper print paper, hammers, glass cleaner and on and on.  I still have photos to cut and pictures and items to straighten on the wall and a few photos to still put into frames...


But I wanted to give you just a sneak peek and if you're willing, your opinion on the letters B and K.  They were too dark, so I did a white wash over it and then gave them a good sanding.  I'm still debating if maybe I should just paint them white or an off-white color.  Feel free to leave a comment on your thoughts...


The photo below is part of the wall that goes up to the main level.  Anyways, the large oval frame has been in my mother's family for many years, I think it belonged to her grandparents or great-grandparents.  It has a bubble glass and as it stands now, I have an idea for what I'm going to do with it.  It's hard to see, but it's in rough shape...



I think it's going to be awesome, but you're going to have to wait until I get it finished; and that won't be until the rest of this gallery wall is completed.  Patience my friends!  And then onto a ton of other projects.

    Quite a project you have here, I'm going to have to get at mine, one of these days… Great start and I am anxious to see, what you do. I think the letters are almost too light. Maybe a bit of darker gray or metallic deep pewter on the edges…to duplicate the silver tones in your old photographs, just a thought?
