Supplies used:
Masking Tape
Scissors
We have a large kitchen/dining area but it is stretched across the front of the house so we have lots of windows and cupboards but very little space to hang pictures. I’ve mentioned before that I love fall and Halloween….well, my kitchen is painted in Benjamin Moore’s August Morning. In direct sunlight it looks tangerine, but in muted light or indoor lighting it is a warm, fall leaves color. The accents are in cream, forest green, burgundy, dark brown and copper. I was so happy when I found Copper Metallic Wall Vinyl from KNK USA.
My kids helped me pick out a phrase, then I added a couple of graphics for either end. I cut it out on my KNK Maxx, weeded the extra vinyl, applied transfer tape, and then taped it to the wall.
Once I had it taped up, I cut it into sections to make it easier to peel and stick. Then I applied each piece to the wall.
After applying all of the text, I applied the graphics.
And here is a picture from the front:
This is great and perfect use of the space!
love hugs and prayers!

Thanks so much. I’m sure we’ll become used to it at some point but for now it catches the eye – and makes us think!
WOW! I love love love this, Michele. looks fantastic. wish I had a place in my kitchen to do something. thinking of possibly my vent hood. great project, tfs
Thank you very much! With vinyl, you can cut such fine objects/lettering, that almost any space can become your canvas!
Great job! Love the phrase and the look is amazing.
Thanks Barbie!
Very, very nice. I like this a lot! I’ll be doing this in my own kitchen when we move.
Thx for sharing,

Michele, that is SOOO pretty! I love the saying, as well. Great job!
Thank you, Sandy!
Lovely and tasteful, it turned out beautiful.
LOVE it!!!
I absolutely love that….it is perfect for that spot and the words are great….bet you enjoy it for a long time.
Thank you, and one of the great things about wall vinyl is that we can take it down any time – with ease!
Love it! The copper color is a beautiful accent to your wall color. Well done!
Thanks so much, the vinyl color is really quite spectacular – I wish the photos would really show it.
Great job!
Thank you so much for sharing I love this!!!
Neat way to use the space.
This looks fantastic, Michele. Very neat way to decorate that area. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
What was the longest length you cut? How did you get it so even? Thanks
love hugs and prayers

I cut it from a nine foot long piece. I ‘loaded’ it, then rolled it back and forth, adjusting it slightly as needed until it ran straight the entire length.
I would have never thought to use metallic vinyl in the kitchen. I love that it seems to change color in the light. Very nice!
My daugther helps me cook and likes this too! 🙂
love hugs and prayers

Great job, Michelle!! Looks wonderful and I like the inspiration in the saying.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments! The only other time I’ve applied wall vinyl to the walls in my house is in my daughter’s room. She wanted polka dots in pink, green, and yellow to match her bedding. As a spectacular bonus, you can use dry erase markers on them!!!! She writes her thoughts, or her own inspirational messages on them – its really neat.
Neat idea! You did a spectacular job for being just your second time…I haven’t had the courage to put vinyl on a wall yet. I want to redo my kitchen…this would be a fun thing to add to the decorating! 🙂
What an outstanding way to make use of an overhang like that. The sentiment really pops. I didn’t realize there was copper colored vinyl. I will have to look into that.
PERFECT use of that space. You did a fantastic job, I love it.
wow that is fantastic, I have plans to do an inset in the bedroom later this fall. I will have to post when I get it done. Great job!
Got my thinking cap on 🙂
