we saw it in Domino

Old sign letters are showing up in some of the chicest places, including the June/July issue of Domino magazine. In "kid-tested, modernist-approved", photographer Melanie Acevedo's pictures of a renovated Rhode Island mini-compound include the shots shown here. The story describes the re-do of a rural property by a former NYC fashion designer and her husband, including the use of oversize letters and numbers to distinguish different buildings on the property and to add "graphic punch" to the surroundings. If you look closely, you can see a bright red A and a white S.
