I decided to create the "Ramona Cafe" in our kitchen - since we live on Ramona Drive. I didn't want to name it the "Tompkins Cafe" because I didn't want to leave out the Tappan and Buchanan families that previousl owned and enjoyed our house.I found an inexpensive black and chrome 50's-looking bistro set at Galleria in OKC, then found the stainless steel napkin holder with salt & pepper shakers at Ross. I already had the 50's straw holder and the chrome thing we use for plastic cups.
I made my own transfer by printing the letters from my computer the size and font I wanted, taped the pages together, then rubbed/scribbled with pencil on the back. Then I taped the pages to the wall, and Lexy and I traced the edges of the letters, which transferred the graphite from the back onto the wall. When we took the paper down, we could barely see the outline of the letters on the wall so we could paint them.
