As you’ve probably seen from my previous posts, I had beautiful gold metal word art made for Adalyn’s bedroom. In addition to some pieces from our old home, I wanted to incorporate unique art that stands out – literally. I’m elated with how it turned out. It made the room feel special.
I spent weeks pondering what I wanted it to say. I’ve always adored quotes, but wanted it to be short & sweet. My friend Erin suggested “Be bright, be beautiful, be you.” I love that saying, but Adalyn is beautiful. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I don’t want her to worry about superficial things. What I want for Adalyn is to be happy & to be herself. It’s so fun seeing how the girls’ personalities differ. I always want to encourage them to be themselves & embrace who they are.
I started a search for word art & reached out to Turn Left Designs to see if she could make the saying – in gold, of course. I had tried my hand at making word art from wire a couple years ago when I attempted to make “Aniston” & “Adalyn” Christmas ornaments. You can imagine how that went since they didn’t make the blog. It is an art. Amanda kindly obliged & all I had to do was install them. Whew! Because once I have my mind set on something, there’s no stopping me. It was nice to resolve this obsession – quickly!
To install, I just gaged where I wanted each word to go & made a pencil mark on the wall. The words were carved like nails allowing for easy installation. The pressed into the walls without effort in just a few minutes!
I love it so much that I’m considering doing a couple of similar projects! You can find this saying here.

Hi Julie,
I’ve been looking at some similar art and have been hesitating because I’m not sure how to install it. Did you drill a small hole first or just push it in (like a thumb tack), or did you need to hammer it in? Thanks for your help! And the room looks great.
Thank you – I just pushed them in. So simple!
Hi! I just ordered this word art for my daughters room. I too will be placing it above her desk area. Do you have a template you can share on how you measured and placed the words?
I don’t, I just “eyeballed it” as my mother would say. Enjoy!
I am in LOVE with this! I’ve never scene anything like it and just ordered it for my office! Thanks for the great inspo!
xo,
