Re-using is re-cycling!

Tucked away in the Highlands, but now selling across the UK (including at Selfridges!) Pedlars offer a fabulous range of clothing, home furnishings, gifts and toys. I love the collection of vintage London bus signs and innovative recyling of vinyl records as book ends.


The old school and factory lamps too are icons of industrial design and look great when juxtaposed with a more homely decor.

Bring on the bugs!




Glasgow based designers Alistair McAuly and Paul Simmons set up their beautiful wallpaper and textile design studio, "Timorous Beasties" in 1990 and produce some of the most exquisite wall covering imaginable. Bugs and insects in contemporary pinks, golds and greens creep in neo-Gothic webs across beautifully finished papers to create striking yet elegant designs.
