K.M. Longworth Co.

A few months ago I was asked about making a sign for a new clothing and furniture boutique that will be opening soon in Little Falls. Of course I was excited about this project. The sign needed to be about 8 feet long. A challenge to say the least as I prefer to use recycled materials whenever possible. About the time I took on the project I found a wood valance on craigslist. It was 10 foot long. As soon as I saw this I knew it would work. Here is how it looked when I brought it home. At first I had thought of cutting off the scalloped edge, but we decided to keep it. I am so glad we did. It was cut it down by 2 feet to make it work.
I love how it has turned out

Here is the store front pre-sign.

All hung. It looks as if it was meant to be.



I am very excited for the store to open. I will be sure to share pictures!

  1. That turned out awesome! Don't ya love it when a custom design comes together just like you envisioned it? I just did a painting of a local historic home, but can't post it. Just my luck, the lucky lady that is getting it for Christmas will check out my blog and figure out that her husband commisssioned it. LOL Tami

  2. That signed looks so great on their store front! That valance looks like a longer version of one I found and hung in my kitchen!
