Description
This little wooden plaque carries a sweet scene of two houses side by side, raised from the panel as a white cut-out, with a single leafy sprout rising from one roof. Behind them sits a pale grey panel scattered with fine grey sprigs and leaves, all held in a slim rectangular frame with a natural wood-tone finish. A white strip across the foot reads "Love grows best in little houses" in grey lettering that mixes neat capitals with a loose handwritten script. It measures 10.6cm on its longer side, 7.9cm on its shorter side and 2.1cm deep, a small piece that settles happily into a modest space.
It hangs from a twisted cord looped over the top, so a single hook, nail or door knob is all it needs. We like it in a hallway by the front door, beside a mirror, on a kitchen wall or tucked among a gallery of family pictures, where its soft whites and greys sit comfortably against painted walls and natural wood alike. The words make it a warm little gift for anyone who feels that a home is about the people in it rather than the size of the rooms, and it needs very little wall to make its point.
The plaque is made from wood with a natural grain finish, and the houses stand a little proud of the panel, giving the scene a gentle depth. Care is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp so the wood stays at its best. Hang it at eye level where the words can be read as you pass, or group it with a few favourite photographs for a homely corner. If you are giving it as a present, the cord means it is ready to go up the moment it is unwrapped.
