About a year ago I spied a well loved formica table at a garage sale. It was for sale for £8 so I snapped it up as it was perfect for my home.
You could tell this table had been well used, it was rusty and the table top had seen much better days so I decided when I had time I would give it a Tatty Designs make over and restore it to its former glory.
Its been FIVE months since I last posted….how has that time gone so fast?!? I’ve still been around just more on Instagram, Snapchat and a little Twitter and Facebook but for some reason finding half an hour to bang out a blog post just hasn’t happened.
I’ve also been super busy moving house and trying to get client projects finished but I’M BACK!!
Having just achieved runner up in the Homes & Gardens Fabric Awards 2015 in the ‘one to watch’ category big things are in the making for the very talented fabric designer, Zoe Glencross. Although the company is still fairly new, Zoe is quickly gaining followers and recognition for her gorgeous designs and fabrics. As well as Zoe’s latest award from the design industry she also recently won the ‘Interiors’ category in the My Country Business Awards 2015, a huge achievement. Continue reading
I’ve mentioned before about my love for multi purpose items. I find anything that has more than one function and looks stylish gets my vote. Space is often limited in the home and if theres a way to double up on features in a product it certainly gets my attention.
I am always looking for new, interesting ways to display my never ending supply of candles.
This idea is simple to do and looks really decorative….its a great way to add a splash of colour to any space, particularly the kitchen!
Theres a new range of rugs and cushions that have caught my eye! The latest collection from designer Sonya Winner was something I just had to share. As someone who loves colour, this collection really appeals to me. Sonya’s designs use vibrant colours which work beautifully together to create eye-catching products that will literally transform a space.
My work space looks like its been ransacked most of the time, there are traces of my love of interiors and craft items everywhere and its time I clean it up!
To start with, I have decided to invest in a notice board so I can keep my to do lists, magazine tears and general secret plans and clever tricks all in one place!
I bought a large enough cork notice board but it was so plain SO i decided to make it sexy (by that I mean pretty).
I am a huge advocate of independent businesses and recently I stumbled across Interiors and design brand Hunters Bohemia. The brand is fairly new but has already proven extremely popular with many items selling out, some in their first day!
The handcrafted collection has been designed with the Danish concept in mind of less is more. Owner Katty, a self taught textile designer and woodworker has poured her love of interiors and her obsession with details and styling into these items, which is clearly evident. The collection mixes heart and soul with a bohemian edge to create items that will be treasured for years to come.
Earlier this week I was tasked with replacing some of the lighting in our home…an upgrade on our existing lamps that were bought as a temporary measure when we moved in but have remained in use ever since. I have been scouting around for a few weeks and have managed to find some beautiful choices.
