Okay, really M is not a word and you all know it. Guess I can't pull anything over on you all, huh?
But the letter M is the focal point of this project and it all started with a simple wood cut-out of the letter M. Mr. M was pretty blah when he first arrived at our house and was in serious need of some attention.

Not to worry Mr. M, we have paint for you! Out comes silver metallic paint for the base coat and Mr. M is looking so much better. Hmmmm, still missing a little something though.
