What is it about Vintage Signs ? Is it the curiosity behind the business to whom it belonged, or the fact that they fair well in both traditional and contemporary interiors? I have several in my own home and there are always several I have on my radar as well. I love how they add a touch of playfulness to a room.

One of my favorite designers Karin Blake has been using them in her interiors forever

I also have a sign from Boylestown Massachusetts in my guest room. We purchased it years ago in Maine.

How do you feel about vintage signs? Love them or leave them?!!
You always have the most interesting, unique design posts! I love this idea - especially in a kitchen or bar for some whimsy and fun...but these are beautiful examples in other rooms of the house as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara. I have studied the best (hausdesign). I feel the same about your blog. You absolutely never dissappoint!
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E them!! I once had a vintage sign from a train station: "Whistle." I regret selling it :( It had the most glorious blue-gray and white painted surface. Are your suzani bed covers old? They are wonderful.
