EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DWELLING'S CUSTOM WOODEN LETTERS AND DECOR!

FAQ's (frequently asked questions)

What does Dwelling do?
Dwelling specializes in designing and creating custom home and party decor, including wooden letters, numbers, photo frames, wedding decor, containers, hairbow holders, and more.

What is your method?
All of my items are done in a decopauge method.  I love how that allows me to put very intricate and detailed patterns on a letter, and also the texture and dimension it gives letters as opposed to painting. Each letter or other item done in this method has 2-3 coats of protective sealant applied to the top the protect the surface from scratching or peeling and help keep them dust and dirt free.

What are the Font/Styles/Sizes available for wooden letters?

As of right now, I work with four different styles of letters.  I have a six-inch block style and a nine-inch cuvry style that come in all capital letters as shown below.  I also just started carrying letters in the Georgia and Whimsical font, in both upper and lower case and available in 6, 8, and 10 inches. I really enjoy the simplicity of having just a few styles and sizes to choose from, and they're all so versatile that at least one of them is going to work for any project!

curvy font letters - 9 inch uppercase only


                            six-inch block-style letters - Uppercase only                                           

 georgia font letters - 6" and 8" - upper and/or lowercase
10" - uppercase only

whimsical font letters - 6" & 8" - upper and/or lowercase
10" - uppercase only

How can I get custom letters to match my nursery decor?
Look through Dwelling's current list of available color schemes to find one that's just right for you.  Custom "from-scratch" orders are also available!  You can also view a gallery of past designs for more ideas here on the website by clicking the "Wooden Letter Gallery" link to the right. 

What about weddings?
There's so many fun things to do for weddings!  Consider "I DO" letters for your guest book, cake, or head table, your new last name as a reception decoration, and table number initials or numbers.  Check out the wedding page above for photos and info. 
 

How long will it take to get my letters?
Dwelling's turnaround time can vary depending on order volume and seasonal demand, but typically orders go out within two weeks of purchase for the six inch block style and nine inch curvy letters.  Letters done in the new Georgia and whimsical fonts have a 4-6 week turnaround time, as each new order is custom cut. 

How can I display my letters?
There are 3 different ways to display your wooden letters in your home or at a wedding or shower.
1: Stand-up:  The six-inch block style letters will stand on their own on a shelf, table, or dresser.  They have been purchased to display as baby shower decorations, wedding receptions, and as teacher gifts for their desks!
2: Ribbon:  I can attach ribbon to any letter for hanging it on the wall
3: Mounting Tape:  You can attach double-sided mounting tape to your letters and attach them directly to the wall.  I prefer this to attaching any kind of hardware because they are easy to move and remove, hang very flush against the wall, and don't require more nail holes in your wall!

Where can I see your portfolio of letters?
I have a gallery of wooden letters available to view through my site here and on Picasa.  Click here to check it out:
