Being the current custodian to my fathers house Sunday morning I woke up in my chosen bedroom and thought “That’s it I can’t wake up to this anymore” Magnolia is not a colour for me, I find it smile sapping, bland and predictable. I’d had a calming pale blue in mind but me being me I mixed a colour with left over paints, took out the modern furniture and got to work. By the evening with no extra money spent, a calm and relaxed room for Rosie, Blu and I to lay our heads at the end of a busy day. Everything has been restored, painted and bought by me over time holding the memory of everyone I bought them from, a connection to the conversations , the smiles, their history. A room does not have to be perfect just a place of sanctuary, it can be house bought, rented or temporary but by making small efforts it becomes a home.

Stepping back in time. ✨ There is something incredibly peaceful about how the morning light catches the grain of this antique farmhouse console table. With its historical green painted turned legs and warm pine top, it feels perfectly grounded right here by the window—looking out at the lush greenery. It’s the ultimate cozy nook for slow mornings, fresh stems, and daydreaming.

There is a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. How coins got in a jewellery box. What could the story of these be?

I love the delicacy of this Regency chair, it’s been sat with the rest of my stock pile with its historical repairs begging to be seen and now it’s here on the first floor, please let me know if you want any further details, what’s even better is to see it in person and take in the vibe 😀

Today didn’t start too well with a major diversion from home to Hay but I made it in anyway just to sort out the clothes and then a phone call from my supplier who had THE MOST bright, beautiful rugs and cushions I had to resist buying the whole van then and there from 40x40 cushion cover to rugs 8x10’ already adding to my ever growing range of homeware 😄

Like most of the things in my shop I couldn’t resist buying these Victorian boots and like most things in the shop I’m also pretty devasted when it’s sold but that’s a business built on passion for finding the unusual, appreciating the history and knowing the person you purchased it from, this gives an extra layer of joy to listen to the stories and build on relationships, it’s respecting the often difficult decision to let the treasures go and in turn seeing the delight in the faces of the next generation when it’s put in a bag to take home. i have a slightly later pair that I occasionally wear, a little more feminine and easy to wear saved for special and skilfully repaired -in-wye
