I can’t get enough of vases. A good, quality glass vase can make any space look a hundred times better and the reason I love them so much is that you can use them to create your own unique look.

They can be used for flowers of course, whether you’ve got one long stem or a whole bunch. Different flowers can create different looks so there are a tonne of different ways to use a vase right there.

But they can also be used with candles like this

Or my personal favourite, with candles and water like this

Or you can fill them with sand or pebbles or even candy! We’ve filled vases with seashells after a day at the beach for a lovely memento of our trip.

I love this one

because it’s plain enough to let my creations do the talking and it’s of great quality.

The importance of coasters.  Now that’s a first world problem if I ever heard one! My mother was always so fanatical about putting drinks on coasters. It’s probably why I rebelled and held out for so long. Just to be the opposite of her (I know I have mummy issues but my mother makes Adora from Sharp Objects look like June Cleaver.)

However, I recently bought the most gorgeous bedside drawers (I truly am in love with them) and an incident caused me to have a bizarre out-of-body experience.  My wonderful son decided to bring me a drink and all of a sudden my mothers voice burst from my lips. It shrieked ‘Not on the drawers, it will leave a ring!’ In that moment I had to do the one thing I have always hated more than Brussel sprouts.  I had to admit my mother was right about something. Oh the horror!

So I finally grew up and put coasters in my house. Luckily we stock some great ones here at Brooklynn Place and you know I can’t have anything in my house unless it’s monogrammed so I chose the natural wood coasters because they match everything else.

I am very happy with them. And I am NOT turning into my mother. I swear!

Hot chocolate on a cold, winter’s morning is a MUST HAVE!  But if you leave late like I always do, you’ll need something to put it in.  This travel tumbler is a NEED not a want. It will keep your hot chockie nice and hot and because it has my name on it, no-one can knick it and say they didn’t know it was mine! More perfect than the hot chocolate inside!

There’s nothing like a warm cosy home is there? Home is where you go when the work day is done.  Home is where you spend time with the people you love most in the world. Home is where you can escape from the hustle and bustle that is every day life. That’s why it’s so important to fill your home with the things that you love.  Things that are unique to only you and your family. Things that provide warmth and comfort. Things that mean something.

And that’s why we’re here. To help you make your house the home it should be.

I’ve always been obsessed with anything that makes me feel comfortable. I’m the girl who pulls her bra off at the door and goes straight for the trakky daks. I like big cuddly blankets and anything I can stick a monogram on. I have a very traditional style and if you’re like me, we’re going to be great friends.

As well as offering a range of awesome products, I’ll also be handing out hints and tips on how to make your house more of a home. I hope you’ll join me.
