Well, I was cutting up French bread for a dip I made (and it was yummy by the way...it is called Jalapeno Popper Dip), and the idea finally came to me! I'll make it French!
Unfortunately, I got a little ahead of myself with the glee of finally deciding on something so I could get that thing off of my chair and into my booth, I forgot to take a before picture. I have to say, it didn't look too bad, it was just a very dark wood and it was missing a screw.
So, I replaced the screw, primed and painted it white, distressed it with steel wool, found a font that I wanted and an English to French translator site on google to translate a few different words, and this is what I came up with...I hand painted the word "bread" in french "Le pain," on the door ...
I added the year "1939" just because I wanted to...
Went back over it with the steel wool while the paint was still tacky...
and here it is!
These were some of the words I played around with
until I found what I was looking for
I'm not sure if I'm going to shabby it up a bit more or leave it like that, so it is going
back on my chair for a few more days
until I decide!
