No 5 Interiors

Hi Everyone,

Well, I'm pretty much finished with my blog face-lift.  I still have some tweaking to do but overall I've achieved what I set out to do.  I hope you like it.  I listed all of my favorite blogs beneath my header in a separate category (no worry you are all still there) and you will find my e-mail address there too. My Google followers and Facebook like box are at the bottom of my blog instead of on the side.  I wanted the space on the sides to add inspirational quotes and pictures.  So, there you have it!

I recently sold some of my hand stenciled No.5 tea towels to a shop in England, No.5 Interiors.  Imagine my surprise when I saw one of them hanging over a chair in the picture below (behind the bunny)!

No. 5 Interiors is the creation of two like minded friends who between them have over 40 years experience of buying and sourcing the individual, unique bespoke pieces that we all like to own:

“We want to offer our customers the chance to own the kind of pieces they look at in magazines or they have grown up with at affordable prices ,we buy furniture from all over England, France and Europe and are competitive in the prices that we sell at.  We use reclaimed timber and upcycle old and previously used items.  Scottish whiskey barrels are dismantled, painted or polished and are transformed into coat peg rails or t-light holders and you can still smell the whiskey an ideal and unique gift for any occasion.

We are also going to be having soft furnishings with hand made cushions with French and country inspired fabric and design.
