Beautiful Fall Decor That Will Make Your Home Feel Cozy
As the weather gets cooler during fall, you may start to think about spending more time indoors and enjoying cozy nights in. And for that, you need to create a warm and inviting atmosphere with your home decor.
So it's time to take inspiration from the changing seasons and switch out breezy summer styles for something earthy and rustic. Once the pillows are piled on your couch, the blankets are tossed casually on your favorite armchair, and sunlight has been traded for candlelight, you're ready to add the finishing touch - wall art!
Our collection of fall home decor signs is all aglow with luscious colors and charming images. Designed to be displayed indoors or out, they're a wonderful way to bring the beauty of fall into your space.
If you're a country child at heart, this cabin sign will conjure memories of crunching through leaf-littered forest floors wearing cozy mittens and a rosy glow! It's sure to have you buttoning up your warmest coat and heading to the woods with your loved ones.
If fall equals family gatherings for you, add this rustic family sign to your family wall art collection. It will make everyone who crosses your windswept threshold feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Or how about this personalized lodge sign to show your love of the wilderness? Not just for log cabins, stags are traditional autumnal icons and prevalent in rustic home decor. You don't have to be a hunter to appreciate a piece of stag wall art!
When you've hung up your fall signs and put a couple more logs on the fire, go curl up among that pile of pillows with a pumpkin-spiced something. Leave the weather to do its thing outside your window, because you'll be snug as a bug in your cozy, beautifully accessorized rustic retreat!
How to be Happy on Positive Thinking Day
While some people are naturally happy-go-lucky types who see silver linings in every cloud, we all know the odd stressed-out, sour-faced Negative Nancy who could use a pep talk in positivity! September 13th is the day to give that pep talk to someone in need of a spark of joy. The date marks Positive Thinking Day, a fun, unofficial celebration of happiness. Now, we don't want to be Debbie Downers, but this year, the day falls on a Friday 13th, so you'll need to summon all the positive vibes you can in order to survive...
What's This Day All About?
Positive Thinking Day is basically 24 hours of good humor. All negative thoughts and self-criticisms are to be set aside in the name of better mental health and wellbeing. It's a day for you to make a conscious decision to see the good in whatever comes your way.
Studies have shown that positive thinking has multiple benefits for your physical and emotional health. It can reduce depression and stress, lower your risk of heart disease, and lengthen your lifespan. At the other end of the scale, negative thinking and attitudes drain your energy and enable stress to thrive, making you feel less than wonderful.
How to Celebrate Positive Thinking Day
Easy - think positively! If you're normally one to complain, try not to - if only for one day! If you know someone who is feeling down in the dumps, give them a lift. Be sure to laugh lots, because laughter is the best medicine! Give a thoughtful gift to someone you love; an inspirational quote sign would be perfect. Above all, try to banish negativity on the day and remember to keep the upbeat vibes flowing throughout the rest of the year!
Cute Ways Your Kids Can Celebrate Grandparents Day
Falling on September 8th annually, National Grandparents Day is possibly the most charming US observance. It's a day for families to get together and for grandchildren (young and old!) to honor their good ol' grandma and grandpa. Celebrated throughout the country, it even has an official song and flower!
A Brief History of Grandparents Day
First proposed in the 1970s, National Grandparents Day was signed into law in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter. Some people believe it was a man named Michael Goldgar who first proposed this day of observance; others believe it was a West Virginian housewife named Marian Lucille Herndon McQuade. No matter the source, the day is a time to honor grandparents with kind actions, thoughtful gifts, and special school activities!
How to Celebrate
Your kids might simply gift a card to their grandparents that contains a personal message written from the heart. They may call grandma on the phone to tell her how much they love her or help prepare grandpa's favorite meal and invite him to dinner. School-age children may invite their grandparents into class for a day to take part in special lessons or assemblies. They may tell stories in class about their grandparents' lives.
Gifting forget-me-not flowers is a sweet, symbolic gesture, as these are the official blooms of Grandparents Day. And if your kids play the day's official tune, Johnny Pill's "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa", they'll be the apple of grandma's eye!
Make it a Grandparents Day to Remember
At Fun Sign Factory, we know that family matters; we recognize this with our novelty and personalized family signs. And we have a great line of grandparents signs that are perfect for gifting on this special day. Choose a sign with a sentimental quote or have us create a custom design made just for Mawmaw and Pawpaw!
Music Wall Art That Will Make You do a Happy Dance!
For pop, rock, classical, and dance fans all across the globe, summertime brings more than just awesome weather; it brings the sound of music! Festivals showcasing the world's greatest music, singers, and bands take place in open fields around the world, allowing revelers to get together, watch their idols, and dance until the sun goes down.
Festival season is well and truly in full flow throughout the summer, but come September when the music stops, you may be pining for it to come around again! Thankfully, with our collection of music wall art, you can recreate the excitement of being lost in music and bring that wonderfully unique festival vibe into your own home. Whether you're a musician yourself or simply love to listen, you'll find the music wall decor to suit your personal taste.
Our music themed wall art covers a variety of genres and is suitable for displaying in your man cave, dedicated music room, or basement bar. The signs also make fun and thoughtful gifts for teens - or for that relative who has "discerning" taste in music and lives the bar-hopping musician lifestyle! Many designs can be personalized to make a custom gift for a friend or plaque for your door. They're the perfect way to say "don't come a-knocking" when the room is a-rocking and you and your bandmates are jamming!
To create that authentic music venue/festival look in your room, add a couple of posters of your favorite bands and put your classic vinyl records on display in special frames. Then crank up the volume on the stereo, pass around the beers, gather your friends... and sing like no-one's listening, dance like no-one's watching, or just rock out!

Here are the Best Ways to Decorate Your Log Cabin
During the summer months, your thoughts inevitably turn to vacations. And if you're lucky enough to own a log cabin, then that's likely to be your retreat of choice! To make your cabin feel like a home-from-home (and boost its style credentials) take a peek at our selection of log signs then get creative with your decor!
Start with a relaxing atmosphere
If you use your log cabin as a base for hiking, hunting, or other outdoor activities, it needs to feel tranquil; somewhere you can unwind after a day in the wilderness. To do this, the rooms must be cozy, not cluttered, so fill them with comfortable furniture, plenty of throw pillows, and a little mood lighting.
Introduce texture and rustic accessories
A stag's head mounted on the wall is obligatory log cabin decor. But what about soft furnishings and decorative accessories? Lay some woven rugs so the floor feels good underfoot and have blankets to hand to ward off chills during outdoor wine-sipping sessions in the evenings. Cluster candles and hurricane lanterns on the fireplace and perhaps hang up some strings of twinkling lights. Ornaments made of natural materials always look great in cabins too.
Add some personalized family wall art
A custom family sign will complete the homey vibe and help you claim the cabin as your own. We have all kinds of designs, from cartoonish and humorous to rustic and authentic. Each one is printed on durable vinyl that can be hung outside or indoors. Try this lodge sign if hunting is how you spend your vacations, or this charming cabin sign that's perfect for families. You won't want to leave and go back to city life, that's for sure!
