Good Evans! Our sign is up

The new sign for our house arrived a day or two ago and we put it up yesterday by the front door. There are shadows across it in the photo but that’s the best I could do. We might end up putting white or black cardboard/metal behind it to make it show up better. We’re pleased with it and hopefully people will be able to find us among all the similar houses.

Wow this is beautiful! Would like one on my home. Looks perfect. I love the way the brick shows through.

We came home one day in the late 70s and a friend had put a Good Evans sign on our gate. Later, Vin's brother-in-law and his wife installed this one on our Donnybrook gate.

@snowy22315 That is the joke - good Evans, good 'eavens. And Rockingham isn't too far from us. It's one of the coastal suburbs.

A black cardboard would make it pop up. I love it.

I think it might look better with a black board behind it.

I like it. The rusty red of the bricks seems to make it stand out in those parts.

It looks quite good in the photo but we might try something behind to see if we can improve it.

@judyev Hopefully you won’t forget who you are now, and you’ll always recognise you’re own place. It suggests quite a strong sense of identity.

@JudyEv Oh yes, and I feel as though I might just have revived the economy of Donegal all on my own. Everything was so expensive.

Thanks. To us, it says 'this is who we are/used to be'. And you're back from holiday it seems.

Very nice! I agree that putting a black material behind it would make the sign pop out more.

We got the silver as we thought it would show up better than a black one. But it would be good if we could make it pop more.

I'm sure they will. The shadows don't really seem to distract from it.

You can't really get a photo without the shadows.

It's very reminiscent of our place - blackboys (grass trees), kangaroos, birds, sheep. All good.

It looks really nice, honestly. Shadows or not. Now, you just need to give us your address and plan for lots of guests.

That is a wonderful looking sign, If you choose a background how about a silver one to make it stand out?

The sign is silver so I think a contrast would be better.

@JudyEv you know what I think goes well with a silver background either dark blue or dark green

We went to his studio and he had a lot quite similar as we told him we wanted kangaroos and sheep and some birds, etc and he came up with this.

That's really lovely, no wonder you are pleased! Maybe you could mount it on a sort of light-box so people could find you in the dark too? It would show up beautifully.

Thanks I'm glad you like it. At right-angles on the right is the front door which has a light on a sensor. I must go out when it's dark and see what it looks like then. But that's a great idea.

We had all these things on our 18 acres before we moved. This gives us good memories of our old home.
