Description
This little wooden plaque shows a white house with a grey striped roof, a small chimney, a door, two windows and a sprig of leaves climbing its front wall. A short grey picket fence stands beside it. The house sits on a natural wood block printed in grey with the words 'MUM makes a house a HOME', with 'makes a house a' in a handwritten script and 'MUM' and 'HOME' in capitals. It measures 8.5cm high, 7cm wide and 3.5cm deep, small enough to tuck in almost anywhere while the message still reads clearly.
Because the wooden block gives it a flat base, it stands on its own and needs no wall or hook. That means it suits a kitchen windowsill, a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a bedside table. The soft white and grey sit happily in neutral, cottage and Scandinavian-style rooms, and the warm wood tone of the base keeps it from feeling cold. We think it makes a thoughtful birthday gift for Mum, or a simple thank you for everything she does to keep the home running. It also fits easily alongside a card or a bunch of flowers.
The house, fence and base are all wood. The house is finished in white, the fence in grey, and the details and wording are printed on. The grain shows through the white for a gently rustic look. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, as you would any finished wooden piece. At 3.5cm deep it sits comfortably on a narrow shelf. Paired with a small plant or a framed photograph, it turns a corner of Mum's home into a little scene of its own.
