5 Must Haves for Your Home Bar
Home bars have become popular as people look for ways to drink and socialize without having to drive. Statistics show people under 30 prefer to drink at home than anywhere else. No matter where you set up a home bar, there are several items you should include to look like a pro.
Soda Siphon:
Bring on the bubbles! A soda siphon is perfect for topping off a mixed drink. The CO2 cartridges in a soda siphon transform regular water into a bubbly carbonated drink.
Bottle Pourer:
Pour liquor as easily as the bartender in your favorite drinking establishment with a speed or bottle pourer. Your guests will be impressed and you will earn major cred.
Bar Spoon:
This isn’t the same thing as the spoons you keep in your cutlery drawer. A bar spoon is long enough to reach down to the bottom of a tall glass with a small spoon bowl for floating liquors. Fish out cherries and stir and layer drinks with ease when you own one of these.
Shakers:
Release your inner Captain Morgan when your preference is shaken not stirred. Mix drinks with a metal cocktail shaker with a strainer inside. You can find them in many styles and designs to match any home bar atmosphere.
Bar Signs:
And speaking of atmosphere…don’t forget a home bar novelty sign. Choose from It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere or one of many other designs. Or why not let everyone know who is pouring the drinks with a custom personalized sign like “Robert’s Neighborhood Pub”.
Make sure your home bar has all the tools you need and that it showcases your own personal style. The next time everyone chooses to stay in you know where they will be headed.

Looking for the perfect place to hang a novelty sign? Whether you hang your new novelty sign to make people smile, entertain or inform, they are a great way to add a touch of style to any room. Here are four of the top places to hang a novelty sign:
Home Bar: What better way to gather with friends than at a home bar? Welcome your friends to your very own bar where there are good friends, good drinks and great times.There is no better way to let your guests know who’s calling and pouring the shots! Text like “Any Hour is Happy Hour” or “It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere” sets just the right tone for a party any night (or day) of the week.
In Your Garage: Car enthusiasts are proud to hang personalized garage signs like “Mark’s Corvette” or “Reserved for Devin’s Motorcycle.” A humorous novelty sign is also a great option. For example, try “What Happens in the Garage Stays in the Garage.”
College Dorm: When college students head off to school, one of the first things they do is decorate their dorm room walls. You remember what is was like… you wanted to express yourself, to show who you were with your decor. Novelty street signs and signs like “Caffeine Junkie” or “Because I’m the Princess, That’s Why” perfectly express someone’s character and personality in a fun way.
By the Swimming Pool or Hot Tub: Custom personalized novelty signs have appeared next to swimming pools and hot tubs declaring “Welcome to Our Pool” and “Welcome to Our Hot Tub” for decades. Even better are personalized signs with the owners’ names on them. Even more fun, try a quote underneath, such as “The Wilson’s Pool- Hang Out, Get Wet, Have Fun.”

The History of Fun Sign Factory
Well, back in the day when my husband was toiling in the farmlands of Los Angeles (hehehe), we decided it was time for a change. We moved to Florida and left our two businesses behind; a trendy clothing store and a gift/home decor store. When we moved here there were no great opportunities for these types of stores so we knew we needed to try something new!
In 2006 I attended a local street festival in Delray Beach, Florida, and bought a sign from a vendor who was selling business opportunities. I figured, hmm, I'm creative enough to do this (making personalized signs) so I contacted this guy. I had always had a creative spirit and my husband has always had a passion for working with his hands so we thought this opportunity was perfect for us! I would get to express that creative streak and he gets to exercise that innate love of handmade work on a daily basis and, drum roll, Fun Sign Factory was born.
With our business opportunity came the Florida territory, so we started to do street festivals, home shows, car shows and then decided to take it online. We saw there was a lot of competition out there but we felt we were unique enough because we didn't just insert a name onto the sign; we could really customize it to the customer's desires.
From there was born the idea for our unique "novelty" rope signs and a whole new line of signs were developed. Our signs are handcrafted and unique. We design, print and assemble each piece with great attention to detail and truly love what we do. All the materials are carefully sourced because quality is extremely important to us. We now sell our signs on our website, Amazon, Etsy and Ebay, but have given up the festivals.
Our online shops are ever changing and growing rapidly as new ideas come up! We are constantly adding new and fun signs. Making that special sign for a customer and knowing that it will bring years of enjoyment day in and day out gives us such satisfaction! We love that we get to share in this enjoyment and we are honored when customers choose us to make that special sign just for them. We are grateful every day that we get to spend our time doing something we love!
