home: favourite thing [ chairs ]

Get nostalgic with these fab retro school chairs with a contempory hand painted stripe. We love chairs and these are great to mixed with other chairs around a dining table, as a desk chair or just in the corner of a room creating a statement.

These sustainably sourced beech wood chairs come with four different coloured stripes. It’s hard to pick a favourite!

home: featured [ That Lovely Stuff ]

Amongst all the gifts, goodies and other ‘lovely stuff’, there’s an abundance of great homeware pieces in the That Lovely Stuff online store. The store curates a variety of home accessories from a wonderful selection of creative mums – all designing and creating great products.

They say;

Did you ever think to yourself “I wish I had all of That Lovely Stuff”?

We did and then we got to thinking and realised how many talented friends we had, and the further we looked, we realised that friends of our friends were amazing too. With just those thoughts That Lovely Stuff was born. All of our products are made by people that we know or people that have been recommended to us and all of the items on the site have been tried and tested by the team here. Only the best will get on the site and we hope that you love it.

It gives us great pleasure to see all of our “mumpreneurs” making a living whilst bringing up their children. It really is the best feeling sending orders out to these lovely ladies and we hope you love their goodies as much as we do.

home: made [ table cloth ]

Simple, stylish and perfectly on trend, Curby have created the nicest, easiest little DIY to make a great scandi table cloth.

The simple cross design in black and white is minimal and perfect for monochrome lovers but could just as easily be translated using other colours to suit your choice.

And the finished printed fabric doesn’t necessarily have to be a table cloth but could be turned into cushions, curtains or napkins!

home: nice price [ leather tray ]

With the steady introduction of new arrivals at hm.com it’s hard not to find a little gem.

We love this leather tray with pinched corners, perfect for carrying items from one room to another, or displaying ornaments on a table.

Available in black or tan it’s only £17.99

Just when you think you’ve bought all the prints for all your walls, Cissywears brings in this perfectly graphic designed range of Hotel Magique prints – available online and in store (excitingly in the newly re-opened store in South East London)

Available for £40 each / size A3

We’d definitely suggest using the John Lewis slim profile oak frames from their House range (£30) to frame them.
