The Turquoise Telephone Bench

''Brrrrring brrring"

Todays post speaks for itself. (Pun fully intended)

We have been posting some fabulous telephone tables of late and suddenly realized you may need something to put on them.

So today we present......

The Rotary Telephone
(both in working order)

Sorry all, the little red phone has been sold!

The Gossip Chair

We fell in love with this little corner of blogger, Vicki Sleet's ( I want that) home, featured in the July issue of House and Leisure.

not only has she used our most recent 'Featured Fave',  Hadeda Cape's delicious fabric, and an awesome revamped Grandfather clock but also the 'Gossip bench' our gem of the day!

Want one too? Just add this

(Fabric from Hadeda- fabric is designed by hand and screen printed on 100% cotton. They are all R195/m and great for scatter cushions, curtains, dresses etc)

A little bit of country for the soul

We absolutely LOVED yesterdays post by Vicki of  'I Want That' blog. The reasons are endless but what really tickles us is how South African country cottages have such a distinct feel and how the details that create that feeling (natural woods, vintage pieces, knits, crochets) have rapidly formed their own trend.
Here are some inspiring snippets from her post....

Although this little piece of heaven needs nothing more, we have a few gems that would work perfectly in this kind of environment and now is as good a time as any to unveil them to the world.

Firstly... an old military kist that we up-cycled with a bit of glass, some legs from an old bed and a lick of paint.

The Trunk Table

Then... 

The Chesterfield Telephone Table

and for the kitchen......

The Little Retro Tumble Dryer

This little guy is perfect for a holiday cottage as it only takes up the tiniest bit of space

and...

The Vintage Scale

because its all in the details
