Always Kiss me Goodnight
I know this one may have been overdone for years, but for me—it’s perfect for a master bedroom. Some of the other new signs can go in any room, but wouldn’t this Always Kiss Me Goodnight sign be perfect hanging over anyone’s master bed? No matter if you’ve been married 6 months or 60 years, never go to bed mad!
Old Bed | New Sign | Home
The best thing about these old bed parts is that you can cut them down to size. This one might even look better if it were cut where the little V is on either side. With doing it yourself, YOU have that option to make the vinyl and sign smaller. Home Where Your Story Begins

I don’t speak French, but my daughter Jamie studied it for four years. I was lucky enough to go with her class on a trip to France. Our computer (AOL) was set up to say Bienvenue instead of Welcome when we signed on! This Bienvenue Sign has long been one of my favorites!

Besides, Home Sweet Home, I think And They Lived Happily Ever After is one of my favorite sentiments for signs! Another favorite is “It’s Never Too Late to Live Happily Ever After” That’s my mantra as I am very much into my senior years! This old bed, new sign was made from a headboard.
Add a Decor Transfer
Don’t you LOVE the shape of this headboard? Doesn’t it just scream that it needs to be a sign? I made this with a Prima Decor Transfer, but alas it never sold. All the details are on the blog post.
