That looks great!!! What an awesome idea - you're good, Maggie! How did you paint the numbers?

What a great idea --wondering if you would be willing to do a step by step instruction ? :-)
Looks really nice on your home
Great idea! What did you use to hang it? Thanks

How did you paint the numbers, do tell!!!!
