Decorating comes down to the letter with a recently revised trendy home design.
Letters of the alphabet, whether they are one’s initials or spelling out words to hang on a wall or display on a shelf, add a personal touch to decorating.
“Ever since the famous ‘M’ from the ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ letters have been used as accents to express style, but the ways of using and reusing letters have changed in many ways,” said Joe Jumper, owner of The Clay Pot, a floral and design business on Hanover Street in Riverview.
“Today the emphasis is using letters in creative and quirky ways to add a personal element to design, decorating, signage, artwork, parties, weddings and special events,” said Jumper. “With just a little imagination, letters can be an important and fun way to express yourself.”
