Description
This little wooden mantel plaque carries a sweet message for Mum: MUM makes a house a HOME, printed in soft grey on a white block. Beside the words sit two line-drawn houses side by side. Each has a tiny window and a door, and a little sprig of leaves grows from one roof. It is a small piece, 15cm wide, 5.5cm tall and 2cm deep, so it sits neatly in a gap that a framed print would crowd. The mix of simple capitals and a loose, handwritten script gives the wording a friendly, homely feel.
We think it suits a mantelpiece best, as its name suggests. Its 2cm depth means it will just as happily sit on a bookshelf, a hallway table, a windowsill or a bedside table. The white and grey palette settles into almost any room, from a cream living room to a fresh, pared-back kitchen dresser. As a gift it is a lovely choice for Mum. Tuck it in with her Mother's Day card, give it for her birthday, or hand it over when she moves house, where the message lands especially well.
The plaque is wooden with a printed finish. The houses and wording are printed straight onto the white surface for a clean, flat look. To care for it, simply dust it with a soft dry cloth. If it needs more, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. For styling, we like it standing beside a small vase of fresh flowers or a favourite family photo, where the little houses echo the warmth of home. As a present, it pairs nicely with a bunch of tulips for a thoughtful gift she will want to keep out on show.
