I am a sucker for typog­ra­phy.  There, I’ve finally admit­ted it.  It draws me like a mag­net and I sim­ply can’t help but stop where-ever I find it.  A quick trip to a mall is bound to become a very long one if I hap­pen to come across any­thing that resem­bles typog­ra­phy.  I love it in any shape, form, size or colour.

Once I bring it home, the prob­lem is to find a place where it will look just right.  Here’s my sec­ond admis­sion:  some of my finds have ’laid in wait’ for more than a year before I finally made up my mind as to where to put it.  It is exactly for this rea­son that looked around for ideas and found some won­der­ful exam­ples of how typog­ra­phy can be incor­po­rated your home.
