how do you spell home?

do you design with letters? with numbers? or is it just not your thing? so far, i have not added any letters to any walls, shelves, or surfaces in general in my little cottage. not so much for disliking the idea, it's just that if i added a letter or a letters, forming a word, would i tire of it, or them? what would i say? so with that indecision, i've restrained myself in the area of letter adding. what about you?


literally how you spell home. (here)

express yourself! (here)

hiding letters. (here)
soft, single, lowercase letters. (here)

oh-so-sweet baby letters. (here)

letters lit up. love. (here)

antique letters, almost ghost-like. look very closely at those boards leaning against the wall, they're there. (here)

you could toss your letters in a frame. (here)

placed against a wallpapered background can make for an interesting effect. (here)

maybe it's a number you needed instead of a letter. maybe it signifies something special, only you know what it means. what a great conversation piece. (here)

when you literally want to make a statement. big, bold, brash, and very cool. (here)

if you have the room, giant letters can be playful and fun! especially in a commercial setting...adding a bit of whimsy to a modern work space. (here)

and at times, only one letter is needed. (here)

sometimes letters are super simple, laid back, almost going unnoticed. (here)

in a strange way (could be a short-lived fascination, not sure yet :), i kind of love the idea of just spraying something on a wall like this. it's freeing, kind of edgy, punky and fun! of course this wouldn't work in every setting, but the right one, with the right words, maybe? (here)

i love the complete randomness of all of this! no rhyme or reason. (here)


have you spelled something special in your home or commercial space? if not, do you want to? what would you spell? would it be a quiet word or loud, get your attention kind of a word? i did once see a painting, all in white and sort of floating in the midst of this very modern painting, also in white, as if it only had left a ghostly imprint, was a lower case e. my son's name is ethan and i though it would have been very cool for his bedroom. but it was a fortune and a half. so no. maybe i'll paint one, one of these days as i really did love it.

what are your plans this very-close-to-us-now, weekend? i have tons of class work, but hoping in between, and for much needed breaks, a run or two, a glass of wine, or two :) and watching the celtics and the bruins. happy friday everyone and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
