Cottage Style Wall Decor

I love decorating my walls with painted signs. This year at my store's here in Westport, NY we featured many ways to decorate your walls with signs. We featured vintage signs, vintage advertising and a selection of signs painted on old barwood from a select group of artists I found here in the North County.


This year's winner of the Tree Contest was Laurie Beggin of the Looking Glass who chose a hand-painted sign on old barnwood which says Cottage Home. Laurie loved the sign which will be hung in the living room in her fabulous home. 

You also might consider putting some stained glass in your windows. Take a visit to Laurie shop www.27lauriebethbeggin.etsy.com where you will find a unique selection of stained glass. A wonderful artist with an exceptional eye for detail, Laurie has a wide range of stained glass from angels and flowers to these amazing panels for your windows. Laurie also does custom work...a business name, family address or family name. What a great gift! Check out that Van Gogh Stained Glass Cross she features.. it's the one I have my eye on.

  1. YES- This is such a cute sign! I would love to have one but maybe just a little smaller to put on my kitchen shelfs. Have a nice day! Daisy~

  2. We have one stained glass piece which we hang in one of our windows. It is a great accent and we have had it for years. I'd like to look into getting a vintage sign but need to decide for which room and what type of theme". Currently thinking for a home bar area. Cheers!

  5. PastTimeSigns.com specializes in manufacturing a variety of vintage reproduction heavy duty metal products such as clocks, signs, oil cans, and thermometers.
    Our primary goal is to produce custom products for customers to retail or use in promotions. We also produce a range of stock products and graphics for wholesale or retail.
    We design and make our signs in the United States using 24 gauge American steel and a process known as sublimation, where the image is baked into a powder coating for a durable and long lasting finish. We then perform a vintaging process by hand to give this sign an aged look and feel. The edges of this sign are rounded for extra rigidity and the corners are drilled and riveted for easy hanging.
