Simple HOPE, with Buttons

Thank you for the input in the comments and by e-mail!

I kept it simple just gluing down the letters and the buttons.

I think I am achieving the effect I was after. It was my wish that the back porch/breezeway would look like an old cottage, and to me anyway, it does. Very hard to get a good picture as the lighting is poor.

This is what I see as I sit here at my desk in the kitchen and turn my head to the left.

Wow. We've already lived here for a year now. Where does the time go?
