White Wednesday

On this gorgeously warm and sunny day,

hope all your dreams come true!

No matter what color they are....
Happy White Wednesday!

S is for....

Sign...

Simple Sign!

Bold and graphic...
So different from what I usually do.
I think my Graphic Design Class inspired me a lot more than I imagined.
I enjoy the change.
I like to be inspired!

"Signs" of change...

We had this customer's sign for weeks waiting for a makeover.
Great sign, the problem is that it won't be displayed in "La Cucina" anymore.
It will be living in a Family Room we are re-designing...

We will try to give it a cleaner, simpler, bolder look.
The transformation started...no turning back now...

While the two heavy coats of white paint dry, I wait for Ms. Inspiration to hit me....

No, that wasn't Ms. Inspiration, that was Sister Extraordinaire hitting me across the head and saying: "Get with the program and start working, the deadline is just around the corner!"

Black acrylic paint...Italian words...some pressure and voila!...

A new sign, much better suited for our Family Room Transformation.

If you would like to see it in its new home, you'll have to come back next Thursday when we reveal the whole new look!

Say it with a sign...

To me, no house is really finished until a couple of signs have been displayed.

Signs are like the ultimate expression of the people that live in that home...

They keep reminding us of what is important...

and how much someone loves us....

Very often, they are the last thing we read before closing our eyes....

And sometimes the first thing we read in the morning...

They let you know that we you are welcomed and appreciated...

no matter where you are coming from!
