Decorating your home with handmade signs doesn't have to be hard. Not only can they be purchased, but you can DIY them as well. Let me inspire you!

I’m not even sure when my love for handmade signs initially started. It’s been an ongoing romance that has definitely had it’s ups and downs over the years, but in the end we most definitely complement each other for the best.

Don’t worry. We’ve talked it out, and we always come to an agreement. We’re going to make it work.

    Anybody else have this type of a relationship with their home decor?

    No? Just me? Sigh.

    It’s ok. I’m used to the crazy looks from my family and pets when I start talking to our house. You know the look!

    It’s the one where they raise their eyebrows and then slowly start walking backwards as if you won’t notice them if they move stealthily enough in the direction of the nearest exit.

    Ok, ok. I’m slightly exaggerating.

    I don’t really talk to my handmade signs or other various home decor items.

    I do, however, tend to stare aimlessly at walls that I want to “fix”. I have this horrible habit of changing my wall decor on a quarterly basis.

    I have them in (or have had them at least at one point) in every single room or space both indoors and outdoors of my home.

    Here are 10 ideas to get your wheels-a-turning:

    • in your bathroom
    • in your kitchen
    • garage/office/studio areas
    • front or back porches
    • chicken coop signs
    • as Christmas ornaments
    • directional vacation spot signs
    • fairy tale garden signs
    • guest bedroom wifi password
    • pet or animal crossing in your yard

    Plus, you can get creative and use items like clipboards or bulletin boards to hang up your favorite mementos or photos to create super, easy “signs” that can be hung up just as easily.

    {Seasonal Summer Signs}

    Don’t forget that signs can (and should–in my own personal opinion!) be changed out every season or holiday as well. It’s a great way to create a completely different atmosphere with a few quick changes!

Sometimes it's the window in my room (where she watches for squirrels) while other days she stares out the front window (where she also watches for squirrels as well as stalks our active neighbors on their morning walks).
