Purple embroidered velvet cushion from M&Co

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Purple velvet cushion

Purple velvet cushion

We’re loving all of the rich purple colours that are featuring in the home decorating and interiors palette for autumn/winter.

A shop we don’t normally think to look in for home ideas (probably as our local branch doesn’t have a home section) is M&Co. Their website carries a good range of home products and we couldn’t help but spot this luxurious looking purple velvet cushion.

The square cushion (it measures 43cm by 43cm) is made from soft purple velvet with a contrasting gold embroidered flower design on the front. As cushions go, it’s reasonably priced at only £14. It would look great used on a sofa or bed and we bet it would be ideal for snuggling up with on a chilly winter day. The purple velvet cushion is available online from M&Co.

Patchwork pinboard notice board

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Patchwork notice board

Patchwork notice board

Ah, swoon! I’m in love with this fab patchwork noticeboard or pinboard!

I love the patchwork design and the great collection of assorted fabric patterns, which celebrate the art of patchworking. Made from the classic hexagon shape pieces of patchwork, this functional patchwork noticeboard has a wooden frame and is designed to be mounted on a wall.

It would be perfect for use in a craft room, study or kitchen and is very unusual, as noticeboards go. If you want to get your mitts on the patchwork noticeboard, then head over to the Colloco sale, where there’s nearly £20 off the original price.

Cream shadow display box

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Display your favourite trinkets

Display your favourite trinkets

I rather like the idea of this shadow display box from Laura Ashley.

The box frame has nine little compartments inside with just the right amount of room to display all your favourite trinkets or items you’ve collected. I’d pop in shells found on beaches, favourite pebbles, small pieces of crystal and other favoured items.

The shadow display box is lined in a pale blue polka dot pattern and finished with a distressed effect cream paint. Best of all, it currently has £10 off the original price at Laura Ashley.

Unusual sweetie bag vase by Olivia Cassells

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

sweetie-vasesweetie-vase2

This unusual ceramic vase is designed to look like a sweetie bag -  in fact, it almost looks like it’s made of paper, rather than porcelain.

Designed and made by Olivia Cassells, each sweetie bag vase is individual, so there are slight variations in shape. The extra sweet design detail on the inside back of the vase makes it as interesting when not in use than when flowers or even sweets are displayed inside.

The sweetie bag vase is 20 to 25cm tall and comes with a co-ordinated peg tag detail that can be removed if desired. The vase costs £39, with free p&p, from Not On The High Street.

Both designs are reduced to £8.
