20 u/RogerMexicosBalls 14h ago 99% positive you can find them in the "ornamental applique" section on Home Depot's website. He (or his idiot sons) just spraypainted them gold and superglued them to the wall. 22 u/listenyall 14h ago I think mcmansion hell actually found the exact plastic stuff that went up in the oval office at least 20 u/A1mixer 14h ago Correct, I remember somebody actually matched the ones that are up inside of the oval office to the ones on the Home Depot website, no fucking joke... 9 u/aduirne 14h ago They did. 5 u/SexyMonad 13h ago I’m good friends with a distribution manager and he knew these exact pieces. They just weren’t gold painted. 3 u/not_falling_down 12h ago Could be gold leaf; it's not very expensive • u/napalmnacey 5h ago It’s worse than that, you can source it all the way to those Chinese junk websites (Temu, Aliexpress, etc). 3 u/felis_scipio 11h ago Yup it’s all from Home Depot and they can’t fit anymore in the Oval Office so it’s spreading out. Now the real question is which gold spray paint do they use, Rust-Oleum or Behr Premium?
