Description
This little wooden plaque sets two small houses side by side beneath an arch that reads 'THIS IS MY happy place', with tiny hearts running down either end. The taller house is white with a gabled roof, a striped front door and two windows. Its smaller neighbour is a soft cream with a leafy sprig climbing beside an arched door, and each has a little grey chimney. The arch shows a natural wood grain, the block base is cream, and every line of the design, from the roofs to the row of wild flowers along the front of the base, is printed in grey. It measures 10cm high, 12.5cm wide and 3.5cm deep, a small piece with plenty of detail.
At 10cm high it suits small spaces: a windowsill, a bedside table, a bookshelf or the end of a mantelpiece, where the words can be read up close. The block base lets it stand on its own on any flat surface, so it needs no hook or nail in the wall. Its soft greys and creams sit easily with light woods, white painted furniture and calm neutral rooms. The words make it a gentle everyday reminder for the spot where you feel most at home, whether that is a reading corner, a hallway shelf or the sitting room.
It is made from wood with a printed finish, and the print picks out the design clearly, from the tiny hearts on the arch to the smallest flower head on the base. Care is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and keep it away from damp places and direct water so the print stays fresh. Because it is small and needs no fixing, it makes an easy little gift, and at home we like it on a shelf by the window, where the light catches the wood grain of the arch.
