A Sign

I really wanted to add to my small street collection, but I think I am going to far with the NY love. I have these in the hall, but thought about moving them to formal with all the other NY art. This art is PRICEY but of course mine was not. I would like the long scroll, but I refuse to hand over dollar dollar bills yall for some names.


I love these. They are different and are not the average.


Do you like this look, or have any of these?

I have one in my kitchen! :) Not too big of a one though. And I have a small number nine in my living room. I'm obsessed! :)

Love this look, but hate the price. Those long ones are crazy. I keep trying to figure out a way to copy the look, but it's hard with the long ones.

I just got a street sign that says "Washington" (I live in Seattle) off ebay!

I like them, but don't know where I would put one! By the way, I got my chairs!

It's very NEW YORK! It seem perfect for a great City Apartment or something urban like that. I'm more of the country girl but I still can appreciate it!

I love it. Definitely not too much in the right room.

Can't wait to see what you are going to do w/ the signs.

I too love this look but wish I could find a more frugal version. I think it's versatile b/c it'd work in a casual room as well as a formal room (i love mixing styles).

I would love to have a subway #1 line sign for my home! I have to check this out and find one asap! I love it!

I have one in my dining room.

Im all for cheaper knockoffs but in this case, I have to protest.

I think the thing that is not obvious in photos of the originals is that they are printed on this old leathery sort of paper (it was used on a roll at the top of subway lines so the conductor could change it as needed). The reproductions don't look anything like the originals up close so I think they lose something in the translation.

I like the tall one - the last one is just too busy
