Shop of the Week- Velvet Brown

May 5th, 2010

Velvet Brown was established in 2007 by sisters Heather Harris and Hazel Ball, born out of ‘a passion for stylish and elegant home accessories’. 

It’s special items such as these which turn your house into a home.  Their focus is country/New England style, which reminds me of our cottage we lived in when I was little. 

My favourite is the earring stand- a must for all us ladies!

Fabulous French Furniture

October 28th, 2009

One of my favourite homewear shops has got to be Maison in Richmond.  Every time I go in I feel I want to buy everything!  The French-style furniture is beautiful and of noticably high quality, whilst the accessories are so cute, especially the childrens’ range!

Much of the furniture is white wash and of a traditional style, therefore if you favour the Old England, shabby-chic or traditional French or English look, this company will be like a dream for you!

Enchanting New England

April 28th, 2009

What best describes New England Style?  For me, it is all about being at one with nature and appreciating the beauty of outdoor life.  Cream, grey and white dominate the colour palette, with flashes of soft pastel colour. The finished look should be calm, warm and inviting.  I imagine fresh, wild flowers being on display, a mismatch of pretty antique ornaments, delicate china tea cups and crisp white linen.  Homemade jams line the kitchen cupboards, along with local fresh produce….

Coco Målé  has some fantastic inspirational pieces that are sure to give you the New England design bug!  Below are a few ideas…
