What a wall wants.

If your wall is anything like my wall, it's been pestering you for the past, oh, nine years or so to get it an authentic NYC subway roll sign. And each time my wall bugs me about it, I refer my wall to my checking account, who in turn smacks us both in the face and says, "Wake up, nerds. Subway roll signs are expensive."

Then my wall and I go sulk in the corner and mutter insults about my checking account under our breath.

Antique New York subway roll sign, $335

But my wall and I still like to dream. That's why we're lusting after this vintage roll sign from luckylittledot over at etsy (that's their pic, above). We're also a into a few hot little numbers over at subwaysigns.com.

And while my wall and I are purists who prefer vintage signs (I blame it on my dad's side of the family--we're all antique junkies), if you and yours would rather not deal with the older stuff, check out some of these lookers over at Restoration Hardware:

Small subway sign art, $495

Large subway sign art, $795

(Hmph. Stupid checking. Next time, my wall and I are seriously just hitting up my savings account.)
