I had pinned this idea a while ago – I loved it. I love graphics and typography and black/white contrast, so this was right up my alley. I hadn’t had time to do the project yet, but I yearned to do it and thought about it every time I saw my plain, white mixer.
Then I saw the Pinterest Challenge from Young House Love and decided to finally do the project.
Here’s the finished product:
I didn’t use vinyl sheets like the original Pinterest one did, because I didn’t have them and it seemed like a lot of work without a machine to make the letters and words. Instead, I used black labels I already had in various fonts.
I love how it turned out! The only thing I would do differently, were I to do it again, is not to use the all caps labels because they were thicker and didn’t stick as well as the decals.
The labels and decals, FYI, all came from Michael’s.
I can’t wait to use it when we have our new kitchen!
A "recovering lawyer," I turned in my power suits for power tools and a life of DIY. I believe in merging old and new to make a house a home.
Karen, this looks so great! Nice work, and thanks for sharing it with us. And the blog looks great, by the way!
Thank you! It was fun to do. My kids wondered why they didn’t get to stick the stickers on it.:)
