I’m pretty sure giant letters &/or phrases as wall décor went out in the 90’s.
One time for the “Live Laugh Love”, am I right?
As dated as it may be, I’m bringing it back with a sliiiight twist for my entry way (& dining room too).
I subbed vinyl letters for wood letters & upped the scale. BOOM, she’s brand new.
“You are welcome here.”
I was adamant that the period had to be there too. It’s a statement… “You are welcome here.” & it comes without conditions.
TO MY FRIENDS, TO MY FAMILY &, ESPECIALLY, TO MY BABIES-
You are welcome here…on your best days & on your worst.
You are welcome here when you need someone to share in your triumphs and you are welcome here when you’re disappointed in yourself… when you’ve done something you thought you’d never do.
You are welcome here when you need someone to unpack “it” with… the good stuff, the bad stuff, the ugly stuff and you are welcome here, too, if you just need to plop down on the couch & sit quietly together.
You are welcome here when you’re the happiest you’ve EVER been and you are welcome here when the world doles out too much sadness to bear alone.
You are welcome here even when you hate me (that’s a bit of foreshadowing as I’m pretty sure it’s a right of passage that all kids “hate” their parents at one point or another; maybe we’ll get lucky & we can skip that phase).
This. Is. Home & YOU are welcome HERE.. all the time.
Most importantly…
TO THE HOLY SPIRIt-
You are welcome here.
It’s a GIANT, 4-word statement that reminds me to pray, to praise, to dwell in & draw near to God.
So, I’m bringing the giant letters/phrases back because it sets the tone for my home.
A couple practical notes (& probably the reason you are here):
I custom ordered these letters from @CarpenterFarmhouse on Etsy. Niki, the shop owner, was so wonderful to work with. She can help you determine the font & size of any phrase of your choosing.
For the phrase in my entryway, the words “You”, “Are”, “Here” are about 7” tall. The “l” in the word “welcome” is 19” tall.
I hung these letters with *drumroll please* Gorilla Tape & I used a laser level to keep the letters straight.
I tried a scotch mounting tape first but the letters kept falling off the wall. Gorilla Tape wins here!
Take care, friends,
Kai
