About South of Main Street
South of Main Street (an Etsy shop operated by B2B reader Kathy) gives existing pieces a new purpose. The emphasis is always on creating high quality, custom looks while leaving the character of the original piece in place. In case you’re wondering where the name came from, our house is south of main and so is our sense of style…
Kathy does an amazing job with ordinary cabinet doors – transforming them into menu boards, chalkboards, even stocking holders!
She can even create a custom University Sign with Latitude and Longitude – what a great gift for a high school or college graduate! The look can be closely duplicated for any College, University, Sports Stadium or even your home.
There’s not a thing in her shop I don’t love to look at – I’m simply amazed at what she creates! One of her newest custom creations is a special order rules sign. You can see examples for Runners, Christmas and House Rules, but the sky is the limit. You select the color of the background/letters along with rules and she’ll make it into a work of art worthy of display. What a terrific gift idea for the person or family who has everything!
