Spotted! When Your Walls Literally Make a Statement
House mottos double as wall art and daily encouragement in these homes
Writing on the wall is nothing new, from historical times to the doodles you made as a toddler (let’s be honest, didn’t we all go through that phase?). But these writings, using carefully chosen font types and applied with an eye to design, are on these walls to stay and be displayed. Using block letters to effect an embossed look, glass etching/frosting, and customised decals, these writings reflect their homeowners’ life view, faith and family mottos.
