Signs are one of my favorite things to make. No two are ever alike, and it’s a place to really let me personality and mood shine. I have made dozens of signs for customers but, honestly, I don’t think there is a single one hung up anywhere in my house.
It’s not that I don’t love all of them, it’s just, at the moment, I have very little wall space in our house. I’m talking VERY little. There is a 6′ space on our dining room wall, and a 6′ space on our living room wall above our tv.
That’s it.
Above our TV I have hanging these 3 arrows that I made a few years back and I love the accent they bring to our living space. When it’s dark outside and our living room or kitchen lights are on, you can see these 3 arrows from the road. We live smack dab in the middle of town and our living space is on the 2nd storey of a 2 storey house so this is all you can really see from the road, and I don’t know why, but I like that people walking by can see this little piece of art.
In my dining room we have our coffee bar set up on a sideboard I also made a few years ago. I LOVE this space, it’s the
first area to get redecorated every season. This giant clock hangs on our deck during the summer months, but during the winter I bring it indoors and decorate with it in here. It’s been really beautiful outside lately, and the forecast looks promising for the foreseeable future but I am hesitant to send it back out there. I just love it in this spot. That being said, I really liked it hanging on our deck as well so we’ll see what I decide. I just know if I take it back outside I will need something here to replace it. But I guess that means I get to go SHOPPING!!
Anyway, that paragraph got away from me. It was supposed to explain why I don’t have any signs hanging on the only available wall space. The clock takes up all of the space so I have no need for a sign, but if/when that baby goes back outside I will have to make a sign to hang there. Something about coffee….
Ohh, sidenote, Rex is putting together a coffee bar for his contractors at the store and he’s recruited me to make a sign for the wall that reads, “First I drink the coffee, then I build the things”. I’m looking forward to it, it will most likely be the sign I use for my next tutorial so stay tuned!
I don’t have any tutorials or details on any of these signs as these are ones from my pre-blogging, pre-instragram, pre-attention-seeking days but I PROMISE I will post some in the not too distant future. Please feel free to comment or message me if you have any questions!
