I want to do this

 Buy old painting.  Put letter stickers on it.  Paint over the whole thing.  Peel off stickers.

The only old painting I have is bright and floral with the front of a house.  It's pretty big.  Would you paint a solid over it and then do the quote?  I don't even know what quote I want to do, LOL!
Just an idea in the works and probably for the guest room.  I bet I have an old pic of it somewhere if that would help with suggestions.
Plus if you have done this or something similar could you tell me how good/bad it turned out? Thanks ;)

UGHHHHH don't remind me....I try to stay out of the basement, lol  It is completely too organized for a basement and once I get to rummaging around, I tend to bring stuff up in the house and start re-arranging the house Again. Then in a week I am taking stuff back into the basement...It is a never ending vicious cycle

NOT when you have OCD, lol

I used to literally re-arrange the furniture in the house at least once/twice a week, sometimes 3 or 4 times. My poor kids would go to school with the furniture one way anmd come home to it completely different. Their friends used to laugh and tell them ....they have no clue what their house is going to look like when they get home, lol
