Description
This little houses wooden plaque brings a row of three painted cottages and a warm family message to a shelf or windowsill. Each house is painted white with soft grey roof stripes, windows, doors and chimneys, and a daisy on one and a leafy sprig on another add a sketched, hand-drawn feel. A grey picket fence runs between them, and a natural brown wood arch rises behind, printed in grey script with the words home sweet home. Across the wooden base, white lettering reads family is EVERYTHING. It measures 11.5cm tall, 15cm wide and 3cm deep, so it sits comfortably on even a narrow ledge.
The block base lets the plaque stand on its own, so it needs no wall, hook or nail. We like it on a hallway console where everyone passes it, on a kitchen shelf, on a bookcase in the living room or on a bedside table. The natural wood tones and white and grey houses sit easily beside cottage, Scandi and farmhouse styles, and its small size means it can join a group of photo frames without crowding them. Its words about home and family make it a thoughtful gift for someone who holds those things dear.
The plaque is made of wood, with the houses painted and the words printed onto the surface. The houses sit along the top of the base with the fence behind them and the arch standing at the back, giving the piece a little depth when you look at it from the side. To keep the paint and print looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and direct heat. Set it at eye level where the message can be read, perhaps beside a family photograph, or wrap it with a card for someone who makes their house feel like home.
