PERFECTLY PINK!

We don't often talk about chairs but we couldn't resist a photo of these very distressed pink hoop backs. They have it all going on..!

DAINTY DISPLAYS!

We're busy building more display space for the June Open Weekend (have we mentioned that?!  http://www.homestuffwithhistory.co.uk/pages/open-weekends). It should allow us to do some interesting themed displays such as this muted collection we were dabbling with, in between resto jobs.

GRANDPA DRAWERS!

This chap is a classic little naive 'grandpa' piece. It’s made out of wooden packing crates and some old cardboard sweet boxes. The matchbox toy is there for scale!

CORNER CUPBOARD!

Anyone who has visited the workshop is probably aware that standing still for too long can be dangerous....you might get painted! We promise, however, not to paint this stunning pine corner cupboard…even if remains motionless. 

NEWS!

We picked up these religious newspaper compilations the other day. They’re of very timely interest as they date from the Great War (we also have ones from 1889 and 1897). Of particular note is the fantastic adverts…don’t think the Advertising Standards Agency existed, then!

 

                                                         

INDUSTRIAL CHIC!

In the spirit of industrial chic, we give you a very used fold-up saw table which we think would make an interesting little table. Of course, if this appeared in an interiors mag it would be described as repurposed which my phones dictionary still, quite rightly, refuses to acknowledge as a real word! Anyway….stick it in the hall with a jug of flowers on and make your parents tut when they visit!
