Those darn Magic Eraser markers will always take too much off my wall at times. I say distress it!

Those of you who told me to keep distressing made me laugh! Too funny. I will let you know what happens!Two Shades of Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449326595781439458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-31558320860978334322010-01-06T18:53:24.135-05:002010-01-06T18:53:24.135-05:00I would say either continue with the distressing o...I would say either continue with the distressing or put fabric over it. Since it is in the middle of the D, why not make a smaller D out of fabric and center it inside of the bigger one so it looks like it was supposed to be that way. Maybe do that inside of the top of the F and e as well.

If the Magic Eraser really does clean the whole thing off, just go with it! M.E. the whole thing off and paint it whatever you want.

Let me know when you're ready to spend someone else's money. Oh, and it should probably be before 1/19 when I begin the Financial Peace University classes and become the epitomy of financial restraint... just sayin'Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594401190299002611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-74227668985964043742010-01-06T14:42:47.905-05:002010-01-06T14:42:47.905-05:00Hi, so I've never read your blog before and be...Hi, so I've never read your blog before and being new at blogging, I thought I would comment. First, I absolutely love the Friends episode ref, I mean, I totally hear you. It's addicting once you walk in IKEA isn't it!!! Ok, so a thought, maybe you could paint like pink spots on the frame...to make it a little girly and have it pop...who knows, your friends had great ideas too, just a thought. Good luck, can't wait to see the finished product, whatever you decide.Photography by Gisela Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18100606417019313645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-31366842608172172722010-01-06T12:49:21.701-05:002010-01-06T12:49:21.701-05:00I'm all for covering it with fabric.

If you really want to keep the lettering you could copy it before you cover it, use freezer paper stencils to recreate it and paint it or applique it onto your new fabric background. You will spend so much time and energy, you will feel crazy and mad at the whole effort for 1.99 frame BUT, when you are done, A-h-h-h! Good luck. Let us know how it all turns out.Tammy @ she wears flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321989418228319069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-7689389641018856142010-01-06T12:46:04.347-05:002010-01-06T12:46:04.347-05:00I love this post!

You could always put little cleaning holes all over to create uniformity and the shabby look, LOL :)Heather K.http://5xthemess.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-43419604029644953312010-01-06T09:37:20.329-05:002010-01-06T09:37:20.329-05:00First off I love Ikea as well.

I just went and my husband had to practically drag me out of the store!<br /><br />I would try to work on the frame, you could try some white paint over that spot. Or if that doesn't work what about covering it with some cute fabric? I know you make such cute things from fabric and felt, maybe that would work?
