So, here we are again – it’s Handmade Monday (click the link for more information and how to join in) – glad you could pop by.

Two weeks ago, I mentioned I was making some door plaques for a French farmhouse holiday let.  Well, the door plaques are complete and delivered (alas, not directly to France and not by my own fair hands) and the customer was happy with them (always a plus ) so now I can show you.

I loved how the bedrooms have names.  Flowers were chosen to fit in with the colour scheme of each room – overall a very feminine feel

and I thought they fitted in well with the gorgeous farmhouse.  You can have a nosey around the place if you click this link (I love that about the internet – the way you can be instantly transported somewhere lovely!).  Looking at the images, you definitely get a feel for the place – it certainly looks a superb place to go for a holiday.

OK, so back to the door plaques.  The bathroom . . .

and private linen cupboard got their own plaques too

The full set of seven:

I really enjoyed making these.  I think the stack of towels and the bathroom need to become part of my standard range so I’ll be adding them to the website soon.

Door plaques are one of the things we sold a lot of in the run up to Christmas – but we’ve sold a few since then too.  People seem to be doing New Year refurbs and brightening the place up a bit at the moment!

The most popular ones are for the bathroom

and loo

toilet door plaque - reading room

but because we paint each one here in our studio, and letter them by hand, they can be personalised with virtually anything you choose.  This campervan door plaque makes a great sign for Dad’s office – and makes it clear who should be keeping out!
