S is for son. As in my teen son whose room I recently remodeled here …
S is for Sam. As in Sam I Am. As in Sam I Am with the Green Eggs and Ham. As in Sam is said teen son whose room recently got a complete overhaul …
S is for simple. And seriously. And super. As in this faux metallic letter “S” for Sam I Am’s room was seriously super duper simple to make …
S is for say. As in very few words are needed for said tutorial above. I wanted to let the pictures speak for themselves but we all know I can’t seem to shut my trap …
S is for spark. And spur. As in this super simple project was sparked and spurred by this blogger and this blogger …
S is for simplified. And slapped. And silver paint. As in I simplified their tutorials even further. As in I just slapped on two coats of silver paint on a $1.99 paper mache cardboard letter from JoAnn’s and called it a day …
S is for saved. As in I saved those blogger’s tutorials – as well as this one – on a group “It’s a Cinch” Pinterest board here …
S is for share. As in I’ve joined a group of super talented blogger friends for a First Monday “It’s a Cinch” share party. It’s a virtual party where we challenge ourselves to tackle the easiest and peasiest projects ever so that we can spend the majority of our time chatting and laughing and S as in sipping some wine …
… and then we co-post our “It’s a Cinch” projects on the First Monday of each month …
S is for socialize. As in get out of here and visit my S as in sip some wine blogger “It’s a Cinch” co-posters (just click on the thumbnails photos below to witness for yourself their cinchy fabulous-ness) …
And now I think that S may be for stop. As in please, please we are begging you Linda to please stop sharing your son Sam’s room remodel …
… as in you’ve sucked it dry.

Hi there! My name is Linda and I’m a Jersey-born-and-bred Midwestern transplant who lives in Chicago with my husband and two children. We've lived in our home since 1995 and over the years our style has changed and evolved. I wouldn't call my home a work-in-progress -- more like a rework-in-progress as I refresh and remodel things around here ... one room at a time.
Well letter S…you are as much fun as SESAME STREET…Simply Sensational…SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE…Strong on POP…and SINCHY!!!!!!! You totally SCORED on thiS one!!!! hugs my friend you rock (even though it does’t start with S!!! : )
S is for Super and Splendid and Say it ain’t So! Gotta love a super simple project and especially if it only costs a couple bucks! Such a great addition to the room.
this fits the room perfectly, linda! love the pillow designs in your new shop–congrats:)
LOVE this! And love that you ladies host “It’s a Cinch.” It’s such a great reminder that small projects come with big gratification too! We hope you and Ernie have a wonderful Monday!
xoxo,
mk & Gwynnie
My kind of “toot”…I love these easy peasy projects…No power tools required, well except for Kari…she had to go and use that scroll saw…ugh!…I am partial to the letter “S”….”S”o gotta go “s”hop at JoAnn”S” before they run out of “S”‘s…I think there may a run on the letter “S”….after your “toot”…..
aaah, good ol sesame street!
love the s- simple, perfect, and chic!
Linda- too funny.. I feel like that for my son’s tween room (that i am tweaking after seeing your son’s room)! Of course, my little brother had to get married this weekend so that has slowed down everything in my blog corner! I absolutley love your son’s room. I think I have creeped on the photos a few times! My son gave me a deadline so I have got to wrap it up before Memorial Day! xo, laura@imnotatrophywife.com
I think we need to rename this It’s a Sinch! I love a project that gives me more quality wine sipping time and this one fits the bill!

Shut the front door.
So you cinched it.
Say it ain’t so my wonderful cinchy friend.
S as in SO STYLISH. Simply done, Striking impact.
This looks fabulous, dropping by from Between Naps on the Porch.
Very cute project AND post! You had me at $1.99.
S as in Simply Stunning (in a teenage boy Sorta way)!
I love the ‘S’- very chic.
Added your etsy shop to my favs!
hugs, jen @ f5
That S is amazing! I love everything about this room! Megan
A is for Anthropologie who sell a similar letter for $98
B is better. As in, yours is better than theirs (and not just because it cost $1.99).
Nice job, Linda!
Such a cute project! Simple is the name of the game. Gets me every time.
Splendid! Super Sinchy Stylist S Project!
Love the room, Linda!
Hey, I like green eggs and ham! I do, I like them, Sam I am! (Yeah, I have the 5 year old, that loves Dr. Suess.)
I love the way your S turned out! My son’s name starts with an S also! That is one Super, Spectacular, Special, Simple, S!!
Splendid job!
- Sorry. I am in goober mode today, apparently!
Have a great Monday! xo-Lisa
Cute letters like this are all over the place! And most cost a lot more than 2 bucks, so you scored big with this one!
You did a super job with your son’s room! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Blessings, Tammy
Super cute! And I love this post! It reminded me of Dr. Suess
That very cool, masculine looking “S” is the perfect finishing touch to a really spectacular boy’s room. He must love it. Watch out, he may never leave home!

I love that vibrant orange color you’ve chosen for the walls…as for me, I’d just love to have my son’s room look half as tidy. You’ve done a fabulous job!
Linda, I love it, the S and the room. I did some letters like that with metallic spray paint and I think I like yours better. It does make a dramatic statement in the room for such a simple project. The best kind! Good work. And thanks for stopping at my blog and leaving me such a nice comment. I replied to you there as well.

S is for stupendous, which is a word that I’m almost certain I’ve never used but will be using today, because that letter is stupendously cute and also looks kinda do-able? Love it!
What a great project! I am going to try your idea out sometime. My 3 year old son is obsessed with his name and he would love to have it on the wall in his room. Great idea, thanks!

Love your son’s room, I mean how can you not want to share it all the time, it’s fabulous! Mandy
“S” is also for Stacey…maybe you make me an “S”???
very cool “S” you made for your son’s room and oh so cinchy!
i’ve been meaning to tell you that i love your pillows on Etsy, especially the Union Jack one(s)!!
This is just too funny! Your posts are always so fun to read and you always manage to work in some useful information too! Love your son’s room and the big letter “S” too…

I love the orange and black it looks great!
That turned out great and that room is pretty fabulous too.
Loved this funny post!! Super!
Very very nice room! I love it!
Awesome letter S. I love it when they look like metal. I also like that you watch Sesame Street….at least I’m assuming that’s what you were thinking about when you wrote, “this is brought to you by the letter S”.
Anyways, fun and simple project! Thanks for linking it!
–Katie
Love Love Love this!! Course, my last name begins with “S”…and I really need one of those in my house! Thanks for sharing! Love the room!!
I teach secondary English and let me just say that your son has AWESOME taste in books!
