Description
This wooden wall plaque carries one cheeky line, BETTER LATE THAN UGLY, in chunky pale pink capitals with a dark shadow behind each letter, so the words seem to stand proud of the board. The lettering sits in a recessed centre panel inside a raised border with softly shaped ends, and a fine gold line runs all the way round the edge, giving it the look of a vintage shop sign done in bright pink. It measures 47.5cm wide, 7.5cm high and 2cm deep: long and slim, so it reads clearly from across a room without taking over the wall.
The words make most sense wherever getting ready happens. Hang it in a hallway beside the front door for one last glance on the way out, on a bedroom wall above a dressing table, or on a landing beside a full-length mirror, where it turns a familiar delay into a joke. Its slim shape suits the strip of wall above a door frame or a narrow gap between two windows, places where a deeper or squarer piece would crowd the space. The pink and gold sit happily against white panelling, pale plaster or a bolder painted wall.
The plaque is made of wood with a smooth pink finish, and the back carries a sawtooth hanger fixed with two screws, so it hangs from a single nail or picture hook and can be nudged level once it is up. At 2cm deep it sits close to the wall. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, as wood is best kept away from soaking and steam. Hang it at eye level, where the shadowed lettering catches the light. Wrapped up, it makes a cheeky present that raises a smile the moment the paper comes off.
