Word Number Play

I love a whimsical touch in decor. Try a lighthearted fun touch. I have lots of "words" all over my house. Just took a huge wall by my front door and turned it into a giant chalkboard. Have fun when you decorated. Your kids will love it too..

I LOVE typography, so all of these photos and ideas are right up my alley. AWESOME. In fact, I've been working on coming up with just the right idea to add this concept to my bedroom remodel.

Hi Lisa, I just found your blog and I must say, I am so impressed and delighted to find someone with a love for letters and numbers in her decor. I love black and white checked floors, finally got one after 25 yrs.soooo worth the wait. I am a little more traditional but love the touch of whimsy and just about anything in typeography. This is a delightful find for me . Thankyou for sharing and I will be back. I actually just went through all of your older post and was never disappointed,can't wait to see more. Could you let me know where you got the dishes with the letters on them? smiles to you, Kathysue :)

I love all kids of typography, but especially anything vintage. Some day I will stumble across an old sign saying something perfect for my place that is going for a song..... Great photos.

Ohhhhhh. I just love the second picture. I was just thinking of using math cards in a jewelry collage I'll be making soon.

Using it in that manner is sooooo beautiful, even though it must be costly to frame.
