What's in a Name?

Looking for a fun & creative way to bring your child's bedroom to life? Have you searched & searched for images/artwork which reflects WHO your child truly is and still have come up empty? Well, nothing symbolizes your child more perfectly than his/her very own name.
It's easy to personalize your child's room & allow the walls to reflect your child's personality, most favorite colors or interests. I recently re-discovered the art of decoupage. Decoupage is most simply defined as..."the process of placing a picture onto an object for decoration." It allows for instant customization & color-coordination of lettering which can be displayed anywhere in your child's room (or throughout the house).

For those of you with jam-packed schedules who cannot image tackling yet another project (and where would you store the newly purchased craft-store supplies anyways!?)...I would love to step in and help. Following are the details of the 'official' launching of my not-so-official business venture :)

FONT. I am currently offering only 1 font design in which all the letters are capitalized and edges are painted white. Height of each letter is approximately 9-inches (varies by 1/4-inch depending on the actual shape of the character itself).

DESIGN. Share one or more of the following details about the room where the letters will be displayed: (1) the color scheme. Example: chocolate brown & aqua OR pink & purple, (2) style theme of the room. Example: trains & planes or anything with wheels OR pastel flowers & butterflies, (3) specificly desire pattern design. Example: stripes & polk-a-dots OR gingham & flowers. Based on these details, I will select paper designs which coordinate/compliment your ideas. If you want the lettering to match a VERY specific color, I request you send swatches and upon review, I will advise if I am able to match the color accurately.

HANGING. Each letter can be wall-mounted utilizing a 'keyhole' slot on the back.

COST. $8.00 per letter + cost of shipping. For names which exceed six letters in length, cost for letters seven & beyond are reduced to $6.00 each. Cost of shipping is estimated at $7-10. NOTE: I may be able to accomodate personal deliveries; please inquire.

TURNAROUND TIME. 2-3 weeks from receipt of your order. I will attempt to work more quickly, if necessary.

NOTE: Jonah & Jared are the names of two of my nephews. These names were completed this weekend with the assistance of my SIL, Penny.

If interested in placing an order, please post a Comment or contact me at designsbyblake@hotmail.com. Thanks!
