I purchased these to bring in color to my overly beige bedroom. I needed something that I could work multiple colors around and this fir the bill. The swallows look "aged" but in a good way. Up close (closer than anyone will be) they have a crackly antique finish. The holes are already in the back so you don't have to worry about that. The colors are very saturated. Even my husband liked them which to be honest, I didn't see coming.

Pros: Great mix of colors
