Welcome to Bell & the Whistle. We're a small wood shop from the Lakes Region in New Hampshire, and we love making unique and special decorations for our customers.
Scroll through the pictures above to see our COLOR CHART.
ORDERING:
In the box that says "Add your personalization", please put the name that you would like on your sign - first and middle. The font seen in the pictures will be the font we will use. The number of letters does not change pricing, we just scale the lettering to fit the chosen size. The sizes we offer are for the width of the sign measured from the left tip of the sign to the right tip of the sign. The height will vary depending on the name and how many letters are in it. We offer 4 sizes with the largest being the most popular for hanging above the crib. Within 1-2 days of receiving your order, we'll send you an Etsy message containing a proof. Once an order is placed, the customer has 48 hours to make any changes. If the customer purchases RUSH shipping, any changes need to be made by the end of the day after the order is placed. Any changes made after these deadlines will be at the expense of the customer. The proof is helpful to visualize your final product. Want to see the proof before ordering? No problem, just send us a message.
HOW IT'S MADE:
Lettering is cut from 1/2" birch plywood using a CNC router which creates a clean and consistent cut. Each piece is sanded on front and back before being painted to your color choice. If you would like a distressed finish, we sand the paint to create this rustic look. To get this option, mention it in the Notes box at check-out. Note that this sign includes a first and middle name that will be connected so it hangs as one piece.
WALL HANGING:
Our key hole hanging option is a ready-to-hang system and includes all the hardware you need for mounting to wood or drywall. Key hole slots are cut in the back of the word and screws are included. This hanging method is sturdy and invisible. All you will need is a Phillips-head screwdriver. Select this option in the dropdown menu on the left before adding to your cart.
Our standard option does not include hanging hardware. Some good methods for hanging are: Command Strips, glue, or small nails in the open spaces of the letters.
Because of the nature of the lettering, it is somewhat fragile and we recommend hanging it securely and out of reach of kids or pets.
LEAD TIME:
Each item is made to order. Our lead time is approximately 1-2 weeks after receiving payment. Items are shipped using USPS priority mail which arrives in 2-3 days. We cannot guarantee shipping times; these are just estimates. We pack our orders carefully with double-wall corrugated cardboard. Recycled packaging materials may be used.
