Was looking for wall decor that I didn’t see in everyone else’s house.  These fit the bill but are black base which is too “harsh” for my space so I toned it down with a brown stain so the highlights and metal look still shows thru. Aside from the fun I had changing the color, this set of birds now looks perfect “flying” across the wall over my couch without taking attention away from the uniqueness of the grey toned cypress paneling.
