Before:
I used Cosco Helvetica letter stencils in 3", 2" and 1". After I stained the dresser and let it dry, I applied the adhesive stencils and painted over them with ASCP in Paris Grey. When the paint had dried, I sanded the entire thing down. Then, I carefully peeled the stencils off. I sealed the entire dresser with AS Clear Wax. For this project, I used cities and places around the lake I grew up on: Lake Minnetonka.

Terrific! You did a beautiful job. How nice someone else started it for you. Makes carrying it through to the end a lot easier. I could use some projects like that! I found you at Creatively Living. I'm your newest follower. Stop and see me at Quirky Vistas sometime.
