Wall Words
August 13th, 2008 @ 1:39 pmWhile decorating my house, I have placed several different wall words throughout. I do get compliments on many things, but one that always stands out to others are the wall words I have in various places in our home. We have four sets of wall words in four areas of our home.
The first two were purchased on eBay from EZWordArt and went into our master bedroom and bath. In our bedroom, it reads, “Together…A great place to be.” right over our bed. We have a vaulted ceiling and that wall is so big. I needed to come up with something to break it up and this worked well. In the bathroom, I chose words such as, “Calm”, “Soothe”, “Relax”, and “Tranquil”. I placed them surrounding the bathtub. They create a “spa-like” atmosphere (ok, so the only spa-like thing is in my mind as I read the words, close my eyes and play imagination), but they do make a great addition to that space.
The second two sets of wall words were purchased on Etsy from Right On The Walls. One went into my new office and the other into our newly decorated guest bedroom. The one in my office says, “Creativity - the use of the imagination or original ideas, esp. in the production of an artistic work.” I love this saying on my office wall. It encourages me to be creative and that’s what I want to use my office for….creating new things. The saying in our guest bedroom says, “Our lives are filled with simple joys and blessings without end. But our single greatest joy in life is a home filled with family and friends.” Behind this saying, it says, “Blessings”, “family”, “friends”. We thought this was a perfect saying for a guest bedroom (gives a “homey” feeling).
The sayings add so much to each room that they are in. It’s also nice to have on the wall to take up space without having to put yet another picture to fill the space. Sometimes over use of pictures on walls are just too much. Wall words match perfectly with any decor. They come in several colors, sizes, and fonts, so you can pick what works best for your space. There are so many businesses out there that sell these wall words. Most companies can do custom sayings, so you can make yours even more unique.
If you’ve ever used a rub-on in scrapbooking, that’s exactly how these wall words are applied to the wall (they’re just on a much larger scale). They are revoable, but are not able to be used again, so if you decide to move and the next owner doesn’t like them, they can easily be taken down.
