We have covered Dodo Designs previously – and although this No Singing, No Dancing, No Swearing chalkboard isn’t the work of that particular company, it is very much in its style.

Yes, we’re talking mock Victoriana with a modern twist, this time a sign for the room of your choice, featuring the text ‘Please, no singing, no dancing, no swearing, this is a respectable house’.

Available online, you can pick it up for £6.95.
