Art in the kitchen can be a fun thing to play around with. Creative prints can be adorable. Large art canvases can be surprising. Heck, even collections of favorite items can become art for the kitchen. But if you're looking for something a little tongue-in-cheek and literal to add to the place where you make food, you might be searching for a clear directive to hang on your wall: Eat.

"POOP" for the bathroom obviously.
So over it!
@littlemisssunshine I like the idea of "poop" in a bathroom. Could be the next big thing.
@LittleMissSunshine I think the same thing every time I see an "EAT" sign in a kitchen (right after I cringe)!
I'm afraid the "EAT" sign is the new "Live, Laugh, Love." May it die quickly.
With the beach ball stomachs bobbing around everywhere these days, you'd think most Americans wouldn't need a reminder (much less a command) in their kitchens to shovel more food down the hatch.
On the other hand, if it said, "Eat, bubbeleh," I might consider it.
blech
I never have understood the popularity of this "literal" style. Whats with a trite statesment or even a letter hanging on a wall? Boring faux ironic hipster.
"Boring Faux Ironic Hipsters" is totally going to be my band's name.
i think its cute...anythings better than your typical apple/orange piece
How about "Haters Gonna Hate"? Sheesh people it's a frieking sign.
Not a huge fan but these are at least cute unlike irritating "love. hope. dreams. family." wall decals or those little decorative tiles that hang on the wall that you buy at hobby lobby that say "cafe." "bistro." "espresso." etc. Gag.
Actual vintage signs from restaurants and such are really cool if you can find them. I also think initials on the wall or children's names above their cribs can be cute.
It was a cool decorative statement the first time I saw "EAT" in a kitchen. Now it's become a decorating cliché. In general I don't like literal statements in rooms because I hate being told what to do! ;)
You guys are missing the fabulous opportunity! Almost all of these EAT signs are easy to mutilate so that they now say FAT. Even if you're briefly visiting someone else's house, you can manage this in the time it takes for your host to use the restroom. If you can't physically snap off that lower prong, just prop up a book or a box in front of the bottom of the E.
I'm glad this has been ID'd and featured. That ought to speed the day when everyone will be "so over those EAT signs."
Anything is better than the "Live, Laugh, Love" sign. I judge those who display that one! LOL
The high placement of the middle bar of the E in that last example can really trick your eye into not seeing the bottom bar and thinking it says something that sends a different food-related message altogether.
Mine says, Get Wasted.
but without my Live, Laugh, Love sign up on the wall, how will I remember to do all those things? I'd be dead already if not for my Breathe poster.
Two of my least favorite trends, rolled into one: word art and new crap made to look vintage. Pass!
Kitsch.
No.
MAKE THE 'EAT' STOP.
I made a sign that says "TOASTER" It is not near the toaster, it's next to my oven. In fact the toaster is in a cupboard. It was actually a reference to derogatory name for Cylon's. I love BSG and wanted to add a private joke to my kitchen. I was going to put Frakking Toaster, but my hubby frowned.
Yawn.
As opposed to what? "Ski"? Stupid.
@MRSBERG - I actually really like that because I like BSG too and anything that mentions toasters makes me laugh because that's what I think about when I see the word toaster. I don't even have a toaster.
this is awesome because i had absolutely no idea what to do in the kitchen. maybe i should put the word sleep in my bedroom and the word sit in my sitting room...
oh and one more thought: THIS IS NOT ART.
that is all.
