We discovered this beautiful house on Instagram this week. Every room is delightful; decorated completely to our taste, with just the right balance of understated renovation, decoration, furniture, fixtures and accessories. It’s how we’d like our little rustic cottage to look… but it’s on a much larger scale.

We love the entire home; however, it’s the galley kitchen that is our favourite space of all. The kitchen and dining area are situated in a galleried space with a sloping, beamed ceiling. There are roof lights, dual-aspect windows and glazed interior door that allow in wonderful natural light from all directions.

Like ours, this galley kitchen is completely freestanding; the counter-tops, drawers, cupboards and other storage are all ‘unfitted’. There are a few lovely old shop & haberdashery counters with base cupboard space and/or drawers, a large glazed storage cupboard that sits on an even larger bank of painted drawers, a repurposed Victorian workbench and a metal vintage industrial set of pigeonholes. Oh, and one of the finest antique plate racks we’ve ever clapped eyes on! Acres & acres of storage space and they all come together harmoniously.

Charity Vintage: Formica sideboard

'Charity Vintage' blog post banner

vintage 1950s/60s Formica sideboard for sale by & in support of British Heart Foundation(ends 15 Jan, 2015 20:01:57 GMT)

Vintage, free-standing kitchen furniture & fittings always go down well on our Charity Vintage series so we thought we’d highlight this 1950s/60s Formica sideboard.

It’s a great colour – a lovely soft yellow, however it’s in need of a good clean and spruce up. This is reflective in it’s starting price which is only £39.99.

It measures 940mm high x 1580mm wide x 540mm deep and has oodles of useful storage space and work surface. It’s for sale by a British Heart Foundation* charity shop based in Bradford – which is fairly local to us. Unfortunately we just don’t have the room in our Picture House Antiques pitch at the moment or we’d be interested ourselves!

*British Heart Foundation is the nation’s heart charity. They help save lives with information, patient care and pioneering research. With your support, they’re beating heart disease for good.



Charity Vintage: 1960s kitchenette

vintage 1960s kitchenette being sold on eBay for Charity in support of The Butterfly Hospice
(ends 6 Dec, 2013 09:26:45 GMT)

We’ve featured vintage kitchenettes in our Charity Vintage section before. They’re really popular, useful and attractive – we have one in our kitchen that stores all our baking paraphernalia.

The 1960s kitchenette featured here looks to be in very good condition – they’ve posted lots of photos. It just needs a little cosmetic attention to its paintwork. It’s being sold by The Butterfly Hospice* themselves, so they get 100% of the final profit. It has a ‘buy it now’ price tag of £150 which is very reasonable.

*The Butterfly Hospice was built by the community to provide palliative care services to patients with advanced life-limiting disease, and to offer advice and support to relatives, carers and healthcare professionals involved in their care. The inpatient unit provides care free of cost to patients and their families.
