Like these? How about having a go at making them. Seriously. I was just browsing mid-century modern furniture on Etsy and these popped up. The store Plan Canvas, suggests that you can make this furniture out of plywood in just a few hours. Hmmm. Interesting.
The coffee table listing says: This table can be made from one piece of 4 foot by 8 foot plywood, a few dowels, and a jig saw and drill. Item Includes: The plan ten page plan describes how to build the table in full detail with step by step instructions – even for those who have never worked with wood before! Contents: Bill of materials, how to lay out the plywood, how to cut each part, drill the dowel holes, and how to assemble and finish the table.
Hmmmmmm….indeed.
I love the idea of this. So I shall be purchasing a couple of plans and giving it a go. Seems like all I need is some good quality ply and a visit to my dad’s tool shed. Will report back!
And if you give it a go too, do let us know.

I may invest in one of these, not to use (I have a couple of JosephJoseph Chop to Pots for that!) but so my little one grows up knowing what vinyl is … she truly will be the mp3 generation, sob sob!
Anyway, this vinyl chopping board is cool and it’s a bargain at £15 from Urban Outfitters. Get one quick, as it will sell out.

I love a good chalkboard so when I saw these beauties over at Scribble on Everything I just had to share them … I also adore those chairs! They cost $42 so if that’s a little bit trumpy for you, you could get the individual ones (as pictured below) for $28.

And in case you’re wondering, no. I still haven’t got round to creating Lola’s chalkboard cupboard despite having bought all the materials I need. Sigh.

I have just been having a nosey at the John Lewis Christmas collection and have fallen in love with the padded Merry Christmas felt bunting … so much so, it should be winging it’s way in the post to me at any moment (£14)! There’s also the Ho Ho Ho bunting in a bag, just £12. Both are lovely. Fact.

Bunting in a Box is perfect for every little occasion. This bunting is so dinky and portable, it fits snugly inside a matchbox – so a perfect stocking filler. It comes neatly packaged in its own little re-purposed matchbox making it ready to gift.
Made from a selection of vintage and new fabrics, each ribbon of miniature bunting has 12 teeny flags (approximately 3 cm at their widest point) hung on a strand of white ribbon measuring approximately 1 metre in length. Perfect for adorning walls, doors, windows or anything else you can imagine! I like the thought of it hanging on shelves.
Cute eh. £9 from Miso Funky.
