StudioHouse • DIY Hall Landing Lettering

The StudioHouse has a landing on the second floor that's about 6' x 7'. The crazy thing is that it has 5 doors leading to/from it. Yes 5. One of the doors we removed while remodeling or it would have been 6 doors. When you go up you wonder which door to pick. Door #1, #2, #3, #4, or #5. (Flashback vintage game show - "Let's Make a Deal". Web search it youngsters.) 

With so many doors (and the intended use, sometime down the road, being classes) I wondered how I was going to differentiate for students which door leads to which room. Should I have signs on the door? Different colored doors? Numbers on doors? What exactly? Then I remembered seeing something one of my sisters did.

The inspiration for my choice came from Creative Mommas. (They happen to be some of my creative sisters. It totally runs in the family.)  Chelsea built her own bookshelf and added lettering above it. I totally love the subtlety of the look.

See what I mean. There but not there. I wanted something that said what each room's use is but nothing that jumps out at me each time I go up there. I can direct people and even if they forget which door, they'll still be able to figure it out. 

The rooms will be for Sewing, Photo Shoots, Painting, Bathroom, and Crafting. We're busy people. 

These aren't the "before" or "after" pictures but the "during" photos. I've added captions to each of the gallery photos for how-to info.
