As a reader of this blog, I would make an educated guess that you spend a lot of time either creating or thinking about creating your own personalized living space. You want your home to be lived in and authentic, but you also don’t want it to look exactly like your next door neighbor’s home.
One way to personalize your home is through custom artwork, which is why I’m so excited to bring you today’s giveaway from Andrea Steed of Signs by Andrea. It’s time to commission her to make something great for your walls!
When I found Andrea, I immediately fell in love with her rustic, hand painted signs. I just knew that I had to have a ‘B’ sign to fit in a small space on my wall, since that is the first letter of our last name.
Painted by Andrea herself on reclaimed, weathered wood (LOVE!), I was able to customize my monogram initial sign from a choice of colors and corner styles. Obviously, I chose a black background with an antique white letter. Andrea distressed the paint on the edges of the board, so the painting style goes perfectly with the reclaimed wood feel. My board has a big knot in it, which makes me love it even more.
Andrea can make a sign for your home in pretty much any style or theme of your choosing. She carries a lot of larger family name signs, wedding date signs, and seasonal signs, but she can custom make one to have any phrase your heart desires.
Carved Heart with Initials Sign
Other than wooden signs, Andrea also offers a large selection of (de)Signs – posters, canvases and stationary designs. These (de)Signs include personalized details for the customer. She has a wide selection to choose from, but she made me one that just looks like a bunch of numbers. Can you guess the meaning behind it?
That’s my husband’s birthday, my birthday, our wedding date, and our kids’ birthdays. Cool, huh? After entering our special dates into her website, this print-at-home (de)Sign (you can have it professionally printed, as well) was immediately available for download. What’s not to love about instant gratification?
Andrea is generously offering one reader of Living With Lindsay a Signs by Andrea package. The winner will receive a personalized Monogram Initial Sign with Name Overlay AND a Special Dates Printable Download.
To enter, visit Andrea’s site and choose the colors you would like in your sign. Leave a comment for me here with that information, and you will be entered to win. Good luck!
