This is where the sign landed — and honestly, it couldn’t be a better fit.

Heydlauff’s Appliances has been serving Chelsea since 1928, and walking into their space you can feel that history right away. Knowledgeable staff, no pressure, and the kind of service that keeps people coming back generation after generation.

If you’re shopping for appliances and want to work with a local business that truly knows their stuff, this is the place to go.

I’m grateful I got to create something that represents a business with this kind of legacy.

This one was a build from start to finish.

A fully custom sign featuring layered wood, dimensional lettering, acrylic accents, and a framed finish — designed to feel classic, clean, and built to last.

Projects like this don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of material choices, fitment, spacing, adhesives, and patience — lots of patience.

Video never quite captures the depth the way real life does, but it gives a good look at how everything came together.

This is the kind of work we love doing.

📸 Shop photo, not the final glamour shot — but I couldn’t wait to share this one.

This custom sign is officially finished and trimmed, and it came together exactly how I hoped.
Layered wood, dimensional lettering, acrylic accents, and a clean framed edge to tie it all together.

I’ll grab a proper photo tomorrow with better lighting and angles, but sometimes the real shop shots tell the story best.

More to come 👀✨

🚧 Work in Progress 🚧

This custom sign for Heydlauff’s Appliances – Chelsea, MI (Est. 1928) is coming together beautifully.
The layered lettering and acrylic accents are in place — next up is the trim to finish it off and really make it pop.

I love sharing projects mid-build because the details matter just as much as the final reveal.
More to come soon 👀

Let’s address the elephant in the room… 🐘

Yes, that’s a syringe.
No, I’m not starting a new side hustle.

That’s acrylic solvent cement — the stuff that literally melts acrylic together.
The syringe just happens to be the cleanest, most precise way to apply it… even if it makes me feel like I should explain myself to anyone who walks into the shop.

Craftsmanship is weird sometimes.
This is one of those times.

🩺 Thoughtful. Practical. Personal.

These were a custom gift for a nurse, engraved with her name directly onto her tools. 💙
Not just for looks — but so they’re instantly identifiable if they ever walk off or get mixed up during a shift.

We can engrave multiple materials and surfaces, even on items you already own:
✔️ metal
✔️ coated tools
✔️ wood
✔️ acrylic
✔️ everyday gear

Perfect for:
• healthcare workers
• teachers
• trades & shop tools
• work gear
• meaningful gifts that actually get used

If you’ve ever said “I wish this had my name on it” — we can make that happen.

Message us to customize something meaningful (and practical).

One step closer!

👀 Remember that “big project” we teased during the holidays?
Yeah… it’s happening. 🔥

We’re working on TWO insanely cool builds right now:

🟤 A full Huron River Chain of Lakes map — but this time we’re going full wood stain instead of paint. Layered, textured, and warm. If you’ve seen our lake maps before, this one is going to feel like the “deluxe edition.”

🔵 A standoff sign for Heydlauff’s Appliances here in Chelsea!
Vintage vibes, layered letters, raised accents — basically the sign version of a victory lap for a business that’s been around since 1928.
(And yes… we’re a little emotionally attached to this one.)

We’ll post updates as these take shape — but we HAD to share.
These are the projects that remind us why we love what we do. 💙

These came through as a request we had. I'm going to do a video soon because they made me think about some things. Design and file aren't mine and were purchased.

🌊✨ 40 NEW LAKE MAPS ADDED! ✨🌊
This year has been wild. I added over 40 new Michigan lakes to my map lineup… and I’m still not done. 😅

If your lake is on this list — I can make it.
If it’s not on this list — I can probably still make it.
If you’re not sure — just comment the name & I’ll check for you. 👇

📍 Why people love our maps:
• Built thicker & sturdier than hobby-level maps
• Custom depths + layered topography
• Multiple clear coats + construction-grade adhesives
• Custom fonts / coordinates / hometown call-outs
• Local Chelsea, MI small business ❤️

🛶 Which lake should I engrave next?
Drop your lake name or hometown below — I’ll check for you! 👇👇👇
