Add a little good old fashioned style to your home with this vintage birdcage, ideal for storing fruit in and something totally different from the norm. Theres a little door for you to get to those apples , oranges or whatever else you choose to put in the cage.

This would go great with a traditional Oak style kitchen or dining room.

To buy the birdcage and for more information go to BHS’ website.

Most definitely one for the kids, get them to put away their toys and do their ABC’s at the same time. Why stop at their ABC’s, a blank chalkboard should really fire up the children’s imagination. We came across this over at Matalan so head over to your local store if you want one of these.

A novel idea; making putting away your toys a little more fun.

Lighting is something that can make a real difference to any room in a home. This amazing piece of design and workmanship from scp.co.uk combines 85 bulbs to form one chandelier. It’s amazing how all those wires avoid being tangled. I’ve not really seen anything like this simple concept before. Great for any Living Space, I’d avoid high ceilings though as there won’t be many volunteers wanting to go up there and change a few of those bulbs.

There isn’t much to say other than it does exactly what it says in the title. The only other thing that can be said is that it’s for ‘ornamental’ use only and it looks damn great. The copper brushed colour means it would suit both darker interiors as well as nicely offsetting a more neutral colour scheme.

Just to prove good looks don’t have to cost the earth this is only £45.00 exclusive to John Lewis’

Modern, chic and stylish are the words that come to mind when looking at the Gem Contemporary Sofa Bed, but it is just that – a sofa bed. I remember when sofa beds looked ugly and would only be put into the spare room for the occasional overnight guest. However, with this little red number I’d not mind having it in my ‘Living Space’ at all, and if you are wondering how it converts into a bed, well the two sides fold down, enough space for one person to sleep on. For more information visit spacify.com , it’s a little in the higher price range costing $790.00 – but can you really put a price on style?

Looking like something out of a Hollywood movie set, this funky LED clock available at mylivingspace.co.uk has a little hidden secret. It can display any of 16 pre-programmed messages using it’s scrolling LED display. So the next time you have a message for your other half such as ‘Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast’ or want to respond with ‘Your dinner is in the dog’ then all you have to do is put it into the clock and hey presto. Before you think you can put something crude into the innocent looking clock I’m afraid that it has an anti-swear filter so – Don’t Do It. 

Who said salt and pepper had to be boring? As we can’t just get rid of salt and pepper off our tables we have to make them look good. What better way to woo your dinner guests than to have these little tower like salt and pepper shakers on your table.

Part of the German Zack range, the Linus Salt and Pepper Cruet set as they are known will make your dinner table stand out and really get the neighbours talking. You can lay your hands on one of these little beauties over at jazzitupinteriors.co.uk amongst other places.

First post for the site and might as well start Retro, so to begin with take a seat and relax as we hope the site develops into something you begin to love. This Tub Chair found over at Iggloo designed by PT Home would look great anywhere around the house; but I think an open plan apartment would really bring out the chrome base.
