Design Stories

A behind the scenes of how each piece started, from ideas and inspirations, and their journey to becoming reality.

Violet's Milestone Markers - Birth Month Flowers

Little Violet is still baking but will be arriving very soon. Mom and Dad are ready to welcome her when she is perfectly done!

In the meantime, we decided to create these beautiful engraved milestone markers along with a matching name announcement sign for her grand reveal to friends and family, who are also looking forward to her arrival.

We love that Violet is both the name of a flower and a color, so of course, we had to include both these as features in our design.

Violet flowers have been engraved into the Baltic birch wood and finished with both a natural wood stain and a protective top coat. After smoothing each marker to perfection with a fair amount of sanding, we added the month numbers in a soft shade of purple acrylic for a 3D appearance.

To finish it all off, a name announcement sign with all the same design features was added to complete the set.

See you soon Violet, we can't wait to meet you! 💗

Taylor Swift inspired children's room sign with child's name in glitter acrylic and an ornate wooden guitar.

Meredith's Room Sign - Taylor Swift Edition

If like Meredith and her mom, you're the world's biggest Swiftie mother/daughter duo, then this should be the perfect addition to your child's room.

Meredith loves a good sing-a-long just like any 8-year-old, and is starting guitar lessons to jam along with her favorite songwriter. We thought a walnut guitar with whimsical flower cut-outs would empower her to keep chasing that dream.

Her name stands out in none other than her fave color, purple, and we obviously had to make it glittery too! Of course, no Swiftie is complete without a friendship bracelet in some fantasy colors. We think it really finishes it off nicely.

Don't forget the heart hands - like Taylor, our message to all the young girls out there is nothing but love 🫶💗

Charcuterie board with family name and floral monogram

The Aberl's Mini Charcuterie Board - The Host with the Most!

The Aberl's are great entertainers - come rain or shine, there's nothing like a cookout by the grill.

No gathering is quite complete without nibbles as everyone chats around the kitchen island and a charcuterie board is the perfect addition for such an occasion.

Making it personal with a family monogram makes this a one-of-a-kind piece and a great gift for any host.

School bag tags made from glitter and gloss acrylic

Back to School Bag Tags - Never lose a bag ever again

How many times a year do your kids come back from school and confess that they've lost yet another bag or lunchbox?

These cousins are being kept in line with a sparkly addition to their bags. Not only does it then become glaringly obvious it's theirs, but they can also show off the cute addition to their backpacks with their friends.

Going to school has never been so stylish - just in time for the start of the new academic year!

A construction themed children's room sign with the child's name and images of diggers. Made from wood.

Miles' Construction Room Sign

Miles loves to cause a little havoc when playing in his room. While there is a fair amount of destruction (as is the case with most little ones!), we can encourage him to build it all up again. Good job he loves all his construction toys.

There's nothing quite as fun as playing with building blocks, cranes and bulldozers to name a few.

If you have a digger-enthusiast for a child, this sign will be great on their door - to remind you of what you're about to enter!

Dinosaur themed Room Sign. Individual letters spelling out a name, with a different dinosaur theme image in each one.

Dinosaur Declan's Sign - A paleontologist in the making?

Declan talks about dinosaurs, plays with dinosaurs, wears dinosaurs and watches dinosaurs. Do you think he might be impartial to, uhmm, dinosaurs?

With a room makeover and a big-boy bed being moved in, it was decided it just wouldn't be complete without his name across the wall too. Dino-themed, of course.

Each 3D letter has it's own dinosaur-related image with a border in Declan's favourite color, green. We gave it an ombre-effect by starting with the first letter in the darkest shade and getting progressively lighter across the letters. All hand-painted too!

The pictures really don't do it justice - maybe some photography lessons are in the pipeline. 😬

Do you have a dino-fanatic that could do with a highlight to their bedroom?

The Kaminskis and Lowes take on Cedar Point!

You know just how great your friends are when you haven't seen them in years but you take off right where you left off when you manage a meet up!

These engraved wooden coasters are a great way to immortalize the memories of a fantastic summer with your absolute besties.

If you ever have the chance to go to Cedar Point, OH, GO! We had the wildest time on all the roller coasters followed by a chilled day at the Water Park. Each roller coaster (ahaha I'm hilarious) is engraved with an image that allows us to reminisce the summer to remember.

Shouldn't we celebrate all vacations like this?! Tell us about your vacay and we can customize a set for you!
