There’s something about letters on the wall that I just love. It’s modern. It’s simple. It’s good. It’s totally a style that I’ve discovered over the years that works for me in my home. In fact, it seems it’s a style I like on clothing as well.
It started with this letter G. Beau and I were newly engaged, in college, and I worked at a craft store. I found this letter G on clearance and painted it black once we moved into our first house. Originally I kept it in the kitchen, but it’s moved 3 times since and now lives in the entryway.
Then came the letter E for my firstborn, Ephram. E’s quickly caught my eye wherever I went and I picked up most of these before he was even born. They still have a spot in his room and I have plans to add more.
EAT was next up in my growing collection. We had just moved to Texas and it was the perfect addition to our bare, builders-beige kitchen. I definitely copied this one from Pinterest and played around with black and silver paint to create a stainless steel look like the ones you can purchase at Anthro. They sat on this shelf for about 18 months before being packed up and finding a spot on our wall in our new kitchen. I took these photos around Christmas right before we moved.
Baby number 2 meant more letters. I went with these adorable lower case letters from Land of Nod. This time I wanted to go with a graduated dark to light tone of green, so I started with a green I loved and mixed in a little more white as I made my way through painting the letters. Right now they are located above Alwyn’s crib.
And most recently, Home Sweet Home. Another Pinterest find that I pinned during our move and new right away I needed to find a place for it in our new home. I painted it the same color as the wall since I knew the shadows in this location would be plenty enough to show the letters off, but at the same time I wasn’t looking for something to make a big statement here.
Modern. Simple. Clean. That’s what I love about this style of wall decor.
& it’s totally addicting. I’m sure more letters will be popping up on our walls in the future.
