MY HOME - update

Its been a while since I did an up-date on my home.. Kitchen is more or less there now, with new door, new brick wallpaper and lighting etc. Bedrooms are almost there too. Just have to get a runner for the stairs and then new flooring for the living room and I will be pretty happy with the house. Outside some paving from the back-garden and think that will be it. Would love to know what you think of it so far...

HOLIDAYS ARE COMING - Showroom fully stocked and ready

THINGS IN MY HOME - NEW FLOOR TILES

So have finally tiled my hallway floor and bathroom floor, been lusting after these tiles for quite a while, I like them because they have a slight victorian vibe to them but also quite modern with their colour ways... my house is slowly filling up with pattern!. Was very nervous about how they would look and they were not cheap at £9 a tile, but I love them. They are from Topps tiles and are called Henley. More pics of the house will follow.

VOILA! - ITS ME

NEW SHOWROOM - OPEN FOR BROWSING SLAITHWAITE

Finally got the electrics finished and we are now open for browsing on Saturdays. Slaithwaite is a beautiful industrial village near Huddersfield, which looks like it has come straight out of Lowry painting. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.

THINGS IN MY HOME - HABITAT PLANTER

Its been a while since I did a post and realise I need to do an up-date.. I have completed on buying my house and this is my first house warming present I bought for myself. Long live Habitat! I say. I was very sad to see it go from the high street but still check out its online store and found this little gem in the sale. It goes perfectly in my room. I loved Habitat for its well designed affordable modern furniture and accessories and am glad to see they still have it! Will post some more updates to the house when I get a mo.

DANISH MODERN DESIGN

To quote Wikipedia
"In the postwar years, Danish designers and architects believed that design could be used to improve people's lives. Particular attention was given to creating affordable furniture and household objects that were both functional and elegant. Fruitful cooperation ensued, combining Danish craftmanship with innovative design. Initially the furniture was handmade but, recognizing that their work would sell better if prices were reduced, the designers soon turned to factory production.^"


Danish modern design is not elitism, what we must remember is this...
"creating affordable furniture and household objects that were both functional and elegant."


I personally think this is where it still should be and I still think everyone can still buy affordable, functional and elegant... 


So be it..
