Keeping it Realtor

Zebra Print Towels - hot.

I've  told you before that I enjoy a browse around our local Dunelm Mill.  We're lucky enough to live not too far from one and I'm a regular visitor and never leave empty handed.  I always find something to buy but if you don't have a local store you'll be glad to hear that you can buy online. 

If you're checking out the store online you'd better be quick if you want these fabulous Zebra towels edged in hot pink.  These fab towels won't be around long because they're  new, they're gorgeous and I'm going to be buying a whole lot  of them as they'll match my zebra print shower curtain.

 I'm going to drape lots of fluffy white towels over the towel rail with the zebra print folded on top as an accent.  I'm lovin' them.  See you all along at the store.

Alessi, do you have any?

Everybody should own a little Alessi don't you think?  It's quirky and  bright and  totally , well it's totally Alessi, you just know it anywhere. 

So, if you're thinking about updating your bathroom and you'd like sone designer accessories without going down the whole grown up look then how about treating yourself to something like this Alessi cold liquid soap dispenser.

 It makes me smile.   

Or how about this big blue bubble toothbrush holder and soap dish.  Fabulous!

Damask Towels.

If you've decided against the Union Jack toilet seat to give your bathroom the Wow factor how about these luxurious charcoal damask towels. 

 You can buy these pretty damask rose towels from Anthropologie. 

 Wow!

Wow!

Toilet Seat with the Wow factor.

Our love affair with all things Union Jack themed goes on and on.  Here's the evidence. 

This funky union jack toilet seat made from quality mdf certainly has the Wow factor.  I can see it in a totally white bathroom with all white accessories and a string of Union Jack bunting across one small wall. Or maybe in the all white bathroom again but with a Your country  needs you poster. 

What do you think?   

Does it Wow you and does it inspire any decorating ideas of your own?

Yay or Nay to this Magazine Rack?

There's always been a magazine rack in our house.  We love reading and my husband especially likes to keep magazines for a zillion years.  We have hobby magazines going back years, it's so bad that when he comes across them in the garage, yes that's where old magazines go when Realtor can sneak them out of the house, he proudly brings them all back in and gets very enthusiastic about starting the hobby up again.  That how when I saw this fab chromed extendable magazine rack from Graham and Green I had to stop myself from showing it to him.  I mean I like reading but I hate all that clutter, hence the magazines in the garage, so I'm asking Yay or Nay to this clever, extendable chromed magazine rack from Graham and Green. 

Sassy red egg cups

Wow, take a look at this pair of sassy egg cups.  Yes, I am that excited about egg cups!  

First of all I love any and all kinds of silicone cookware.  Whenever I see a cake tin or oven gloves made of silicone I must have it.  There have been times when I've been so taken by a particular new silicone cup cake mould it has taken my husband ages to convince me I already have it. 

You would think I would know what I have if I'm so addicted to the stuff but I don't and that's because I'd rather read a book than cook, but silicone cookware is a definite passion of mine.  

Anyway I can boil an egg so have a look at what I've found to hold my boiled egg in.   

This pair of sassy red silicone egg cups trimmed with silver will mean I will finally get to use some silicone cookware. 

A dream come true, I can read my book whilst the egg boils. 

Easter Bunny Snack Bowl

 I really love this  Easter Bunny Snack Bowl because it's the kind of ornament that you can use not only at Easter time. 

Filled with Easter snacks this heavy earthenware bunny will delight anybody who's partial to the odd easter egg.  Yes, that will be me!

Not only that, when the eggs are finally all gone, I think you could plant some bulbs and grow some lovely flowers to enjoy. 

Any other ideas?

Family Tree Poster

This fabulous poster could help you explain family relationships to inquisitive kids. 

This gorgeous hand cut photo frame comes in either pink or blue, so unless they bring out another kind, there's something to suit everyone.   

This Family Tree  poster fits a standard Ikea picture frame so you can personalise it to suit your room. 

 It would make a lovely gift for mother's day too. 

   

Je t'aime Cushion

French is  the language of love or so they say. 

Jan Constantine,  designs beautifully embroidered 100% wool cushions which would make the perfect Valentine or engagement gifts. 

 Just look at this romantic Je t'aime cushion. 

Fab. 

Rose Pouffe not Bouquet

 

   
  
Red roses for Valentine's day are always very welcome but Valentine's day seems to be the trigger for a flower price rise.    Although magnificent on the day they don't last for ever so don't you think you'd be much better off if you were given a lovely pouffe?  Eeek I hear you Eeek.  Yes, a pouffe,  but a pouffe covered in 3 dimensional claret red felt roses. Phew, that's alright then.  Unusual and would fit in beautifully in most rooms in the house.  There's even a matching cushion.  Available in black, claret or mole.  Beautiful, just beautiful. Available from John Lewis.
