Words are fun, old letters are cool, and lately they’ve been showing up everywhere. On rugs, walls, even in the garden!

Old signs in a Las Vegas signage graveyard are raw material for inspiration. Photo at right is by  www.roadsidesholar.com.

Check out some of these other great examples.

At left is a rug inspired by an eye chart by Bev Hisey.

The company called Character, based in Finland, rebuilds then sells vintage signage letters with           LED. This is the “z”   from a "Suzuki" sign. Unfortunately, these are not available in the States. Boo.

Fun letters for the wall, at left, on sale at Pottery Barn.

 

Make your own sign! And the letter G, at left, brought to you by www.buysignletters.com

 

Elegant lettering for a girl’s room at right, “sophie” letters are available at www.butterflycraze.com. So are the little butterflies!
