apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I think I like these but would need to see one in context.

For knick-knack posts like this it really helps to see the item in a room, to get an idea of it's size. This could be the size of a light bulb, a bread box, or an entire wall. Can't tell from reading the post!

This is so weird, but I used to own the original/vintage version of the top one—the chrysanthemum—which, I must say, was very lovely. Gentle gold stems and leaves with soft white flowers. It broke when I dropped it on accident, and seeing it in this post—painted black, no less—brings me such pain.

they're a little bit larger than i imagined - 18" x 10"

At least they are not decals.

$225 is INSANE for these, they are readily available on ebay (where I got mine a few years ago) for $10-30, plus a can of black spray paint......!!

If you ebay search Syroco or Homco, you'll discover a variety of shapes and sizes - all inexpensive.

Here's an ebay listing for BOTH plaques for $19.99

thanks, redjet! nice find. hommenivore, looks like you can get your white and gold one again.

AHHHHHHHH. Thanks, redjet!

I just painted 3 items that are similar. I don't think I paid more than $2 for each item at Goodwill and the paid was no more that $4. Wow, I can't believe someone would spend so much $$.
