I am comforted by words. I like having them around me. And I’ve always wanted to paint or stencil inspirational quotes in certain choice nooks of my home. But with the demise of rub-on press type, this hasn’t been possible… until now!

The home-design website Apartmenttherapy.com has just introduced me to two companies that customize favorite words or quotations, set them in type, and print them in colors on a large, clear sheet that adheres to wall for outstanding design effects!

Have a close look at WonderfulGraffiti.com and WordsAnywhere.com and I’m certain you’ll agree this is a great way to make your home a sanctuary filled with meaning that is exclusively yours! Let me know what word, quote, or bit of poetry you’d like to have writ large. Obviously, a little bit of this look goes a long way, but isn’t it the the greatest thing?
