Pottery Barn makes it personal

At Pottery Barn's flagship store in Palo Alto, there is no mistaking what the creative team thinks is a fun word to spell in a home bar or wherever friends and family will relax.

Harry Williams, visual creative manager for PB's flagship stores, stopped by Timeless Treasures a couple of weeks ago and chose vintage sign letters to spell out MARTINI. You can see here how he used them in the midst of a display of decanters and barware. The variety of type fonts and sizes Harry chose adds a personal touch and a little humor to this classic setting.
If you are thinking of a word or phrase for your home or office, come and choose from our constantly changing stock of metal, plastic, enamel, porcelain and wood letters in sizes from less than an inch to more than two feet high.

What's the good word, when it comes to your personal style?
