One good thing that came out of a recent four-day power outage was the extra time I had to paint more signs. I’ve just added a fresh selection to my Etsy shop, so if you’ve been waiting for a new hand-painted sign, now is a great time to take a look. These pieces are all handmade, finished by hand, and intended as charming, rustic accents for homes, cottages, porches, and anyone who appreciates simple, classic typography and coastal-inspired designs.
I began by painting some of the “classic” styles that have been favorites in the past. These familiar designs focus on clean lettering and timeless color palettes, so they fit easily into a range of decorating schemes—whether you prefer a light, airy look or something with a bit of vintage character. The paint is applied by hand and layered to achieve depth and a comfortable, lived-in feel.
Alongside the classics, I experimented with a few different lettering styles. Hand-lettering can change the entire mood of a sign, so I tried a looser, more relaxed script on some pieces to offer a softer, more contemporary option. Each style is still fully hand-painted, so every sign is unique—minor variations and brushstrokes are part of the charm and authenticity of handmade work.
I also introduced a new colorway this round. Bright, sunny tones can bring instant warmth to a room, and this new yellow variation adds a cheerful, modern twist to the collection. It pairs well with neutrals or can act as an accent piece to liven up a gallery wall, entryway, or kitchen nook.
For those who prefer a darker, more weathered look, I completed several signs with a barnwood-like finish. These rustic pieces are stained and sealed to suggest age and history, while the lettering is carefully dry-brushed to enhance the worn aesthetic. The result is a moody, textured sign that works beautifully in farmhouse, industrial, or eclectic interiors.
Each sign is hand-sanded, painted, and sealed for durability. Because the pieces are handmade, small variations in texture, finish, and brushwork should be expected—and celebrated—as part of what makes each sign original. If you like a particular finish or lettering style but would prefer a slight change in color, size, or wording, I’m happy to discuss custom options through my shop.
Which one would you prefer? If you’re shopping for a gift, looking to refresh a space, or simply collecting handmade items, these signs make thoughtful, one-of-a-kind additions to any home. They’re easy to hang, suit a variety of decor styles, and are created with simple, durable finishes meant to stand up to everyday display.
If you’re interested in purchasing a sign or viewing the full selection, please visit my Etsy shop. The shop is new, but it already features a range of styles—classic designs, fresh lettering experiments, bright seasonal colors, and rustic, aged finishes. You can find the listings there and message me directly through the shop for custom requests, shipping details, or specific questions about materials and care.
Thank you for taking a look at the new pieces. I enjoy the process of painting each sign and hope they bring a touch of handmade warmth to your home. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to request a custom order—hand-painted signs are meant to be personal, and I’m always glad to work with customers to create something that fits their space perfectly.
