One thing I am hoping to achieve in the new house is using items sourced from small and or local producers to decorate, rather than items from the high street giants. this is partly because I want my home to feel unique, I don't want to suddenly see my favourite cushion in five different friends houses! But, also because I think it is especially important with internet shopping and cheap mass production to support those who are striking out and doing something different. I've no doubt they'll still be plenty of the latter in our home, who can resist a few ikea items? Hopefully a few locally sourced pieces will give it the unique feel we're looking for.
Aren't these pieces amazing! Tregear Pottery is located only a few miles away on the Isle of Wight. All of their pottery is hand thrown and decorated with these beautiful coastal patterns.
I was lucky enough to receive a whitebait pattern lamp base for christmas and I can't wait to show it off in our new home. I think a few more of these wonderful pieces of pottery may well find their way into the new house as well.
