Trade Furniture Company – Amazing quality and price.
When we moved into our home in 2003, we got a cheap pine dining table and chairs which was just meant to ‘tide us over’ until we got something better. Fast forward a few years, and the table was still there, but now we also had a child, and it seemed silly to change the table that was now used not just for feeding, but for painting, plastacine and general play. But Joe is now 6 and we recently decided that it was finally time to change the room back to the purpose it was designed for – dining and entertaining. Hence complete gutting, redecoration and finally, a new dining…

Bedroom Environment insights with Hillarys

This often means some sort of filing cabinet or locked desk that we know keeps our work safe from everyone from a burglar to a toddler on a mission to destroy things. All we have to do is keep the key somewhere safe and all our needs are addressed.…

Electric radiators are an easy way to add heat to any room, and yet they can help you save money on your bills, as much as 50% in some cases. They can be fitted in any room, and, in the case of towel radiators, they can also be a super stylish addition to the general look of the room too. But it is not just about the home. We recently purchased electric radiators from Best Electric Radiators for our caravan in Wales. The gas fire heats most of…

Heating your home with Firewood
It may seem strange timing to say I am thinking about Winter heating bills in the middle of summer, but I am. Each year it seems that the cost of keeping your home warm and cosy through the Winter rises, often well in excess of inflation, and more and more we are faced with the choice of keeping warm and paying huge bills, or leaving the heating off and adding another layer of jumpers. I think this is why many families are making the decision to add a wood burner to their living room and are using firewood as a cheaper source of heating. I am giving this serious thought…
