Vintage Beth Yarbrough Folk Art Wall Plaque — "As For Me and My House" Birdhouse Scripture Sign, 1997

Late 1990s (dated 1997)

American Country Folk Art

This decorative wall plaque was created by Beth Yarbrough in 1997, during the early years of her return to painting after a career in the American giftware industry. Based in North Carolina, Yarbrough built a following for her warm, approachable folk art style rooted in Americana, country life, and Christian themes. Her work was widely distributed through retail and specialty gift channels, and she was invited as a guest artist at Walt Disney World in 1995. This piece features her signature hand-lettered style and earthy country palette, illustrating the beloved verse from Joshua 24:15.

A Little Piece of Home

There's something about folk art that just feels like a deep breath. It doesn't try too hard. It doesn't need to. This wall plaque by North Carolina artist Beth Yarbrough is a perfect example — a cozy, hand-illustrated scene of stacked birdhouses, each one a little different, with contented birds perched among trailing green vines. The beloved words from Joshua 24:15 are woven right into the illustration in Yarbrough's distinctive hand-lettering: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Signed and dated 1997, this piece comes from the early years of Yarbrough's return to painting after a successful career in the giftware industry. Her work has been widely collected for its warmth, its gentle humor, and its ability to make any wall feel like home. She was even invited as a guest artist at Walt Disney World in 1995 — a testament to the broad appeal of her approachable, heartfelt style. The color palette is quintessential country: sage greens, warm ochres, deep russets, and a soft cream background, all framed by a hand-drawn twig border. A wire hanger with a raffia bow at the top means it's ready to hang the moment it arrives. This is the kind of piece that looks right at home in a farmhouse kitchen, a cozy entryway, or grouped with other collected treasures on a gallery wall.
