I love that the accent color in my kitchen is orange. Orange is my favorite color, so anytime I make something orange, or buy something orange, my first intention is to find a quirky spot in my kitchen for it.
While out at vintage markets and perusing Pinterest, I found marquee signs that kept grabbing my attention. I've kept my eyes peeled for a large "C" for our family's last name, saw tutorials on how to make my own - then thought about how to add one to our kitchen. The first thing that came to mind was "EAT" when I think of being in my kitchen - and thus this little project was born.
I bought the string lights and cardboard letters at Hobby Lobby. The lights are battery powered and even have the option to twinkle which really gives it the effect of a true marquee sign! Both the lights and the letters are much smaller than those used in the tutorial, but they turned out great after I spray painted them orange!
