Versatile Storage

A Versatile Storage Solution!

Hello and a warm welcome to the new people who have recently joined our mailing list over the holidays.

Thank you to everyone who visited our pop up event back at West Elm in December – it is always good to meet new people and see our regular customers again.

It’s that time of year when we think about decluttering and organising our homes, so we thought we would share with you, our versatile, vintage wooden bakers rack, which can be used in practically any room in the house!

Cost: £280 including free delivery within the UK mainland

Vintage Wooden Bakers Rack Versatile Storage Solution Bathroom

We have shown it here as a practical storage solution for the bathroom, as it has six shelves, so is ideal for holding a number of towels and toiletries, along with a few decorative pieces.

This characterful bakers rack would also look at home in either a contemporary or traditional kitchen, for the storage of crockery, glassware and kitchen towels, or even vegetables.

Vintage Wooden Bakers Rack Versatile Storage Solution Bedroom

Here we show the rack used in a bedroom, showing the versatility of the piece, with lots of room for the storage of t-shirts, jeans and trousers, sweaters and space underneath for shoes.

It would work well for a lady too, for storing clothes, belts and bags – or use it just for the huge number of shoes you own!

The rack would also make an interesting display piece in a retail store, or in a cafe or restaurant for storage.

You really do not see many of these out in the markets and good, authentic ones like this are unfortunately getting harder to find.

So good luck, if you are decluttering in January!

Vintage Matters – One Year On!

VINTAGE MATTERS – ONE YEAR ON!

Here we are – October 2016 – one year on from our online launch and first pop up at West Elm, London!

What an amazing year it has been and we thought we would share some of the many highlights.

We have travelled far and wide searching for unique pieces to bring to your home or workplace and met many amazing people along the way, who are all as passionate about vintage, as we are.

Vintage Matters

West Elm have kindly hosted 5 pop up events for us, which have been extremely successful, giving us great brand exposure on Tottenham Court Road in London and we now have customers returning to see what new finds we have.

Among the many pieces we have sold there, one was a scientific instrument that a gentleman bought to train his performing fleas on…

And just last week, someone bought a lovely cast iron window mirror for the garden, solely for the use by William – the pet peacock!

We are back at West Elm for a Christmas pop up event, 16th -18th December.

We think these are pretty special, unique pieces that would work equally well at home or in the work place.

Below is a really unique piece! Once used by the Ukranian Army, this industrial rack, is a great looking storage solution for hats and luggage on the top; for hanging coats and jackets and then a lower rack for shoes and bags.

This versatile piece could be used in a restaurant, bar or cafe, or in a retail store to merchandise fashion. It would work equally well in a large hallway.

Finally, is this stunning vintage drawing table, in great condition, made by Unic Studio in Paris in the 1940’s.
