Marquee Lights - What would yours say?

12 years ago
I love the marquee lights I keep seeing in homes on Houzz. If you were to put them in your own home, what would they say?

    I don't see them in homes on Houzz. Secondly, they are awful.

    Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...powered by next doors power surply
    Failing that ...
    Picture of Ex with the words DARTBOARD
    Hard choice really ....
    That's if I had to have one...everything has a place in someone's home ..if we all liked the same things how boring our homes would be....BLAND white and beige i guess ......
    The one you have featured ..fits in well with that style of home

    It would say "I'm gaudy and I have no taste."

    it all depends on the look that one is looking for, example... they look nice in an industrial styled home ,in a bar or recreation room ,no room for them over here .

    I would never have neon in my home. Would make me feel like I lived on the Sunset strip or Vegas. I agree with rainymorning.

    I don't have a problem with neon lights depending on where they are. In a home theater, a bar area, a lounge, that's where I'd put them. But people can do whatever they want because it IS their home.

    Mine would go in a guest bathroom and say *FOCUS* ;)

    Personally I love that it says "LOVE", I love that the owner loved THEIR home enough to hang the word LOVE and I love that people can select art for what it is, their art to LOVE and LIVE with. That's good design, to LOVE your home and what's in it! I've been in homes that I would never want to live in.. I appreciate that it's Their home, not mine!

    I worked with a client that had an old restaurant sign that says LASAGNA....we put it in the family room...love the graphic element it brings to the space. And it looks great at night!

    The floors look familiar, don't they? Seen that recently on the Spenserbetz Rocco thread.

    Word walls are such a design cliche. So are those little cutesy inspirational sayings. They're one step above the plaques people used to hang in their homes (.ie. Home Sweet Home, or So and So's kitchen,etc.). Enough!

    Mine would be an arrow that I would hang outside and it would say " Front Door."

    I also would never have this but my word would be WELCOME

    Can't stand them - we have enough ads - last place we need them is in the home. Home is the place for calm and beauty.

    Great for that hot-dog stand look....

    My dad, back in the '40s, used to complain about the strings of bright lights that were beginning to appear on neighbors' houses and yards at Christmas. He'd say -- you guessed it! -- It's like living in a hot-dog stand! Well, he clearly lost that battle. I think people were tired of privation and the war blackouts; that "look" has been roaring along for 75 years now, at least.

    But I can't think of any room in my house that needs neon.
