Have you heard of Barn Owl Primitives? I’m crushing on their welcome message on Etsy >> Welcome to the Barn ~ home of Family Rules and Typography Word Art ~ signs to decorate your life!

Barn Owl Primitives’ wooden signs are distressed and antiqued for an aged, vintage finish…

Kristi, the owner & designer, writes:

    For whatever the reason, I LOVE letters. So, I started my typography signs as a way of getting all those letters out of my system. I enjoy laying out the letters, creating a picture, and telling a story. Have a story that you would like to share? Let me paint a custom sign for you so you can share your story with the world…or at least with your friends that visit your kitchen!

My mother-in-law would totally love these signs. The whole vintage/distressed/this-has-been-loved-on look is so her style! Is it your style, too?! If it is, you’re in luck :]

PS. click here to see my favorite sign from Barn Owl Primitives.

  247. Debbie Gorlewski says

    I love them all! Of course I love the Family Rules signs but also love the The Laundry Room sign in Tiffany Blue! LOVE!

  251. Kelly says

    I was going to say the “You are my sunshine…..” bc we sing that every night to our twins, but then I saw the “Strength of my Love” and I melted :)

  253. Kelly says

    I am in LOVE with this shop…added them to my etsy favorites. I am particularly digging the “Keep calm and say I do” sign. My baby sister just got engaged and the wedding stress over money and family issues is already rearing it’s ugly head. I would love to get this sign for her as a way to remember what to focus on when wedding planning stress is at it’s max. :)

  258. Becca @ One Girl says

    What a terrific shop & such wonderful encouraging words to fill your house with! My favorite prints are “strength of my love” & “keep calm & carry on”.

    I love all the signs! I couldn’t choose a favorite — I especially love the “A Day at the Shore” and “The Greatest Oak.”

  262. ashley says

    I choose Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Robins Egg Blue, I sing that every night with my daughter as part of our night time routine.

  265. Chris says

    I love BOP – I have a few Holiday Signs for our house!

    I love the cottage rules sign she just created and posted on her facebook page! If I had to choose I would take a combination of all the Family Rules signs. Crossing my fingers and hoping to win!

  270. Carrie H says

    I love the family rules signs and the Classroom sign, would love that for my kid’s room!

  280. Liz says

    i love the laundry room typography art! hopefully someday our laundry room will be finished and I could use something like that! also love the come in one.

  282. Elisabeth says

    What a great product! I may have to add the “you are my sunshine” piece to my daughter’s nursery as that’s one of our favorite songs!

  285. ashleyc says

    I can’t decide which family rules I like better. The one saying to use more syrup or the one that says to dream big?

  288. Kari says

    Love “You are my Sunshine” makes me remember when I was little and we used to sing that song all the time :)

  293. Mindy says

  300. Jamie Franklin says

    i love the family rules, But the one that touched me was you are my sunshine. my son is almost 13 and that song i sang to him b4 he was born and to this day, still calms him down :)

  318. Sarah Hull says

    My favorite item is the You Are My Sunshine Sign Typography Word Art – Choose Your Color

  320. Holly H says

    I love these! My favorite would probably be… “Opportunity…” by T. Edison… but there’s a few that I really love!

  322. Tammie says

    First of all…I want to say that your work is incredible. I could hang your signs all over my house. It is so hard to choose a favorite, but I would have to say that it is a tie between the “family rules” and the “in our house”. They are both just beautiful and say so much with a few words. Love them!!!

  325. Maureen S says

    I love the Come In We’re Open sign, but I don’t own a shop. So practicality wins…I’d go with the Family Rules sign.

  327. Ingrid says

    My fave is the sign Live Laugh Love Dream (Weather Worn White with Black, Gray and Red) :)

  332. Sherry says

    I love Barn Owl Primitive signs. My favorite was her family rules sign, but I’m crushin’ on her 4th of July sign now!

  344. Shanda Ekins says

    I would love to win this sign! The signs are amazing! Totally my style. My fingers are crossed!! :)

  345. Virginia says

    I am in love with every single sign she makes. I would probably fall over and die if I won one lol. Every time I browse her things I catch myself picturing just where I would put each and every sign in my home and then I remember that I’m not rich and that would probably be too many signs lol Anyhow, if I had to choose I’d say that I love the family rules but may add a few things of my own and I love the “we do hard things” because we do.. every day. Anyway, good luck to all.

  347. Julie cleeland says
