Set of three vintage style storage tins from Ruby Roost

Friday, January 7th, 2011

Useful storage set

There’s no worry about having to choose which of these tins you’d prefer, as they’re sold as a set of three.

The useful storage tins in graduacting sizes each feature a floral design and the colours and style are very reminiscent of vintage tins.

They’d be perfect for using in the kitchen, perhaps for storing tea, coffee, sugar or biscuits in, or you could pop them on a shelf in a study to store stationary items in.

The set of three storage tins is sold by Ruby Roost for £17.99 – but if you buy now, there’s currently 20% off everything in their shop.

Recycled sari vintage material triangular pouffe

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Pouffe made from sari material

I love, love, love the look of this pouffe!

It’s made from recycled sari material and other gorgeous embroidered materials and the triangle shape makes it really unusual. The colours are striking and the material features beaded details and added mirror decorations, creating a unique look.

The vintage style triangular pouffe is available from Fields of Blue, who have a shop on Bouf, where it costs £39.90.

It’s sold without the inner pad, but that can be purchased separately, or you could fill it with rice or a filling of your choice. As well as being a useful occasional seat or footstool, it would also double up as a decorative door stop.

House your cleaning equipment in style

Whilst I’m not the biggest fan of cleaning, I think it would be a lot more enjoyable if I could carry the essential cleaning equipment around the house in this fab housekeeper’s box.

Made from vintage blue enamel, it’s got the just the right amount of room for cleaning products, plus dusters and cloths. It would also be ideal for storing products in when not in use.

Buy yours from John Lewis, for £20.
