momee Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Any idea how to make it look elegant? I don't have skill so it'd have to be something stenciled, or computerized, or something? I am not crafty whatsoever. Have you a clue as to how I may proceed? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 You could type them in a beautiful font, print them onto beautiful paper, and frame them in golden or painted frames with a mat and glass. I have the 'fruits of the spirit' on my kitchen wall, with fruits embroidered onto tapestry cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Have you seen these? http://www.wisedecor.com/decor/wall-lettering/scripture/ http://www.christiangiftsplace.com/ScriptureForWalls.html They sell lettering for this purpose. I googled "wall lettering scriptures" and these were the first couple I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) I'm hoping it's okay to post since this is the topic of this thread; please correct me if I'm wrong and I will delete. I sell vinyl wall words with Uppercase Living and have a HUGE catalog of pre-designed expressions, as well as a custom design tool (click on MyDesign Suite) with which you can create whatever you'd like (either just with words, or also using our catalog of embellishments). You apply these expressions like (dare I say it?) stickers, but the quality is of course much higher; they are designed to look like finely painted stencils, but without the hassle and mess. We have a 90-day return/exchange policy and our prices are GREAT (please make sure to compare). I can personally help you with your order and would love to have the opportunity to do so. Here's a custom a client did: Feel free to PM me if you'd like more information or a free sample in the mail.

Ferdie Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My friend used wallwords.com and it came out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixglides Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have painted them on my wall, first I wrote them on paper & then taped w/ blue tape right under where I wanted to paint so my spacing wouldn't be off. Most came out really well, once I had do paint over. That being said, in our current house, I ordered two from Uppercase Living described in a post above & it was WELL WORTH the investment. Very easy to put on & looks very elegant. One is in entry way & one in the kitchen. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyWifeandMommy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I would love to have those in my home but we are in housing. None of that stuff is allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My friend used wallwords.com and it came out great. I used these is a home that we rented - they go right on and come right off -- no evidence that they were ever there. I bought them through ebay BUT they were by wallwords.com.

Here's a custom a client did: Feel free to PM me if you'd like more information. I love the idea of working with a consultant for wall lettering. Several years ago I thought about ordering a scripture for my wall from wallwords. I was so confused with all the decisions - size, font and color. I ended up making a framable print. I would have loved to have someone to guide me though the order process. P.S. If that is a picture of your kitchen, it came out really cute.

milovany Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) I would love to have those in my home but we are in housing. None of that stuff is allowed. Most vinyl words are removable and when taken off, you can't even tell they were there (as long as a primer and a decent paint was used -- not builder's grade).

No, here's one in MY kitchen; it's a catalog design. :001_smile: Edited November 5, 2009 by milovaný Trying to shrink picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I would love to have those in my home but we are in housing. None of that stuff is allowed. Just wondering if the ones you put on like "stickers" would work? Milovany, do they come off? We are soon to be renters and I'd love to have this but it wouldn't be allowed unless it would come off or be easily painted over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing there's a primer and an-above-builder's-grade paint (which isn't hard; that's a watered-down paint) is good -- the vast majority of houses/paint jobs are high enough quality. I can send a sample word if you'd like one. I think UL is great for rental-type situations since there are a wide variety of sizes and prices. ETA: Oops! Sorry. Didn't see your reply above before I hit "Post". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
