2 Comments Custom Wood Cottage Signs And Making Memories
Signs Of Summer
We are finally getting some signs of summer. With the snow behind us, thoughts of summer fun are popping up. We asked our twitter followers “When you hear COTTAGE what words do you think of” These are some of the words that @DavidArtHills @Spike_CS @JuliaRosien @YVRBlogger and @JRWaddell came up with.
We love all the different ways a cottage can be thought of. The saying may be Home Is Where The Heart Is, but we think it applies to a cottage as well. Whether you call it a cabin, a lake house, a vaction property or a cottage it is a representation of your getaway from the everyday. It provides a break from the hustle and bustle and gives you place to reflect on what is important to you. We make personalized custom wood cottage signs to represent this.
Whether you think of your cottage as place to welcome guests
A place to chill out
Or your place where your family gathers
we have something that will fit your style.
All it takes is your cottage memories. Our expert sign makers here at The Sign Depot can create cottage signs with the text, graphics, colours and font of your choice. Once you find the size and shape that fits your budget they get to work cutting, carving, sanding, painting and personalzing your custom wood cottage sign.
Leave A Legacy
Our wood cottage signs are custom crafted from western red cedar. Western red cedar is rot-resistant which makes it the best choice for outdoor signs. The longevity of cedar cottage cottage sign makes it a perfect accompaniment for a family cottage as it passes down from generation to generation.

How Our Heritage Signs Deemed Us A Museum of Signs
Museum Of Signs
… that was the quote of the day last week at our Designers’ Demo Day/Open House aka #designDAYsd from the one of guests Mr. Matt Scobel
We welcomed the Design community to stop in have a drink from Ridge Road Estates Winery and a bite to eat from Little Mushroom Catering while learning all the different ways they could incorporate signage into their clients portforlios. By reaching out to the design community we found a way to connect with artistic designers looking for unique items that they could offer their clients. By holding this open house in our workspace we were able to let them know about many sign materials and substrates that we work with along with the artistic sign finishing techniques we use.
There was a Router Table/CNC demonstration, a gold leaf guilding application and a power point presentation highlighting the scope of work we can produce.
Heritage Heirloom Signs
We were so happy that many out of town, as well as local designers were able to make the trek to visit us in January.We received many remarks about our custom signs, but it was our traditonal personalized wood signs that caught eyes of many. They appreciated the craftsmanship that goes into making heritage signs and wanted to learn more about the sandblasted sign making process. The process of creating custom wood signs was a popular topic for the majority of design demo day and we were happy to answer all the questions we could in regards to custom sandblasted cedar signs.
First Round Of Feedback
Although we will be following up with the designers to hear the feedback from our first Sign Depot Designers’ Demo Day we were thrilled by the compliments we received on site!
To hear what some of our Designers’ Demo Day visitors thought of what they saw here in the The Sign Depot workspace take a look at this video, where we were deemed a Museum Of Signs.
