“I’d like my name handwritten” was the answer I got from the 16 year old son of one of my clients three years ago when asked the question “What would you like on your bedroom walls?”.

Whether it is a quote from your favorite author, a single syllable word or young man’s name, decorating with writing is something that, believe it or not, can be found in so many ways in interiors. You can find such design elements in any Catholic church listing saints’ names or part of parts of our constitution lining molding in the White House.
Words inspire us to reflect on our daily lives, to motivate us, or simply make us smile and get us through the day. Words educate our children, make us laugh and help us look forward to the future. Whatever their purpose in your life, do not be afraid to use them in your home. Paint them on or hang wood carved alphabet pieces of all size. For fun or to be serious, just like the words themselves, it’s all in the way you use them and it is all up to how you interpret them.

Decorate with people's names, why not city names. London notes the possible design style and a state of mind.

| I love the use of black, upper case lettering in this kid's play room. The words are perfect for inspiring creativity and are also whimsical. The room can also transition well as the children get older. |

It's all up to interpretation. What do you think this means? I love how varying sizes of the letters and the use of rounds mirrors works on this wall.
