What's in a Name? Why, Everything!

With a surname of "Jones," it's rare that I'm asked to spell my name. I had a friend in college, however, who sported a fabulously exotic 16-letter last name. I can still spell it to this day.

Names are inherently marvelous, no matter how simple or protracted. They tell of a bit of where we come from, and leave things blessedly open in terms of where we're going. We have our entire lives to determine what our names will mean to others. YUM. Opportunity!

So celebrate the one you've been given, or have bestowed upon another.

Put it in the very capable, stylish hands of All Spelled Out.

Love child of the wonderfully gifted interior designer, Maureen Koopman, All Spelled Out takes your name/monogram/special word and color scheme and crafts a wonderful keepsake in the form of a hand-painted canvas featuring birch letters.

Whether you wish to note the year your family was established, a baby's name, a cherished pet's moniker or a funny family quip, no one handles happy words in your home like Koopman.

Visit her All Spelled Out Etsy site - you can on-the-spot purchase something you see and must have, or inquire about a custom design. She'll lovingly work with your exact fabrics/materials - be it wallpaper, baby's crib bedding or sofa pillows! - to create a special canvas that looks fabulous in your decor. You'll even receive a proof for approval via email before your canvas goes into production, to make sure you're 100% happy.

Whether your style is modern or traditional - or somewhere in between - All Spelled Out gets it!

These canvases make fantastic holiday gifts (and many are under $50!). They're also lovely for wedding and new home gifts, and baby showers.
