Even though it's been done one-thousand-million times, I still find inspiration in cool signs. I want some large 3D letters in my house. I know they can get tacky—we all know the "welcome" sign in a generic script from some acquaintance's home—but when done well I think they can add a lot of character. Our mother always kept a large copper "M" on a buffet table in the main hallway of our home and I guess it left a lasting impression.
