I have been wanting to give our hallway bench a Paris inspired “stamping” for awhile. So today at Ross with my mom, I saw yet another French saying reminding myself it was time to redo the bench. I took a quick photo of the saying on my camera and headed home inspired. The bench was first redone years ago (one of first blog posts as a matter of fact!) and looked like this…
Then recently I covered it with leftover painter’s cloth…only to leave it beige and boring…
I copied free hand in pencil the saying exactly like my photo…
I considered painting the letters but decided on a black sharpie instead. A very smart move as it was much quicker, easier, and gave it a more washed out “stamped” look…
As what seems to be the case every time I try a new project, suddenly my “as is for now” decor needed some refluffing. 
What was supposed to be a short project turned into an all day redecorating of the hallway… So here is a little peek…I will show you the rest tomorrow…I am embracing gold…it is very freeing…
My mom thinks it says something about the toilet? Anyone translate French?
