dominoes

a few years ago, while looking for unique and interesting 4’s to add to our family number wall, i got the idea to make a domino. 2 dots on top and 2 dots on the bottom. representing our little family of 4. i asked my dad if he could make one for me. so he went out into his workshop and played around with a few sizes until he came up with this one!  
yes, i have the best dad in the whole world!  the BEST!

it was perfect! 

so of course, i shared it on instagram. and the response was crazy. within a week, sean and I were making dominoes by the dozens. and they were selling out as fast as we could list them.

customers were adding them to their gallery walls.  gorgeous gallery walls.

and their book shelves.  seriously.  this book shelf is to die for.  i die.  

and randomly placing them throughout their homes.  

 and sending me photos of their dominoes with their little people. i mean. are you kidding me?  CUTE!

we even started playing games with them in the workshop.  because we could not resist.  

customers asked.  so we added white dominoes, too!

it didn’t take long for people to ask for bigger dominoes. because, well, bigger is always better. so we added large dominoes to the shop.

i love how desirée at The 36th Avenue added this large domino to her DIY industrial shelves! it looks right at home, doesn't it?

then customers started asking for unique number combinations. to represent birthdays, anniversaries, favorite numbers.  we serioulsy have the most creative customers.  ever.  

becky from farmgirlpaints chose 4 dots on top and 1 on the bottom.  the 4 represents her darling family and the 1 is for her pup!  can't forget those four legged family members!
now, let's talk about that chalkboard wall...i am in love!

kim from The Tomkat Studio chose her family’s lucky numbers. i love the way she is displaying them in her beautiful home.

2014 was definitely the year of the domino for barn owl primitives. who knew?

maybe it should have been my word for the year. can i choose a word for the year when there is only 2 weeks left?
