Out of hand...

So we've been a bit busy again with some lovely new stockists and more orders from existing stockists, more on that soon, but today we decided to have a bit of a clear out of the studio. We bought a 1950s cabinet on an ebay whim the other day and now have to find a home for it! It was one of those this-will-be-perfect-if/when-we-ever-get-a-shop-come-studio type of decisions with only 5 mintues to go. Still I love it and am now wondering what to fill it with. Perhaps some of these...

I have to confess I have a bit of a magazine hoarding problem. I must have almost every copy of Elle Dec from 1997 onwards (and now from about 1993 too as I adopted another collection from a friend - much to Cs horror!) also most copies of Living Etc and a whole bunch of World of Interiors from the 1990s. Like I said, it's a problem! Which means everytime we want to move furntiure around we first have to deal with the magazines and as for moving house I daren't speak of it ever again!

I have to add the stack in the bottom photo is 4' high - I measured!

  1. Love Living Etc! Hold on to your magazines, I usually throw mine out when I long for some simple living, but always regret it!

  2. What is it about the magazines we love? Now that you mention the name "hoarder", I believe that's a label I should admit to!!! Domino :(, ReadyMade, Living Etc (can't get rid because its so good, and pricey here), and more...Looking forward to seeing your 50s cabinet score!

  4. Hurray and thanks all! It's not only me... posted this and then thought perhaps everyone would think I was some sort of loon!
    Virginia - that's even more impressive than mine and no mine aren't in order either - a step too far?!

  5. Pat is always threatening to throw my magazines out! I like to think that now that I'm blogging and making things I can more legitimately claim I need them for research!
