The Weekly Seven

Hello Sunday! Here are some of my favourite things this week including some innovative & sustainable products!

1.  Totally Tatami Wallpaper

This textured and luxe grasscloth wallcovering is handcrafted by artisans using only the finest sustainable materials and are expertly laminated for ease of installation. Natural materials add dimension to any space and panel beautifully. These exceptional wallcoverings come in a wide array of colors, textures, and styles. This colour is rice straw and it is such a beautiful, natural shade that would be very easy and calming to live with!

2. Natura Recycled Fabric

Woven in 100% GRS certificated recycled polyester, Natura’s innovative fibre construction repurposes post-consumer PET bottles and is Mokum’s first foray into recycled polyester fibres.

The naturalistic colour palette delivers an earthen look and relaxed aesthetic, augmented by its tumbled finish to deliver a soft touch and sumptuous drape. Natura offers a sustainable drapery solution with the appearance of a natural textile for your interior space.

 3. Mother's Day Bundles

With Mother's Day just 3 weeks away. You might be looking for a beautiful gift idea to spoil the super Mum in your life. We have some gorgeous Mother's Day bundles on our website which Mums will be sure to love!

 4. Homemade Baileys

This recipe by West Coast Cocoa was a hit within our home team over the Easter holidays so we thought we would share it with you too!

185mls Cream

150mls Vodka

200Mls Condensed Milk

1 Coffee Espresso shot

1 Tbspn West Coast Hot Chocolate

1/2 Tsp Vanilla Essence

1 drop of almond Essence

Blend all ingredients together in a blender. Seal and refridgerate. Lasts 4 weeks chilled.

Shake before serving.

 5. Vice Versa Carafe

This lovely carafe combines elegant, sculptural qualities with functional spheres. The interactive design of the carafe allows the sphere to rest inside the glass-blown mouth or sit playfully inside the base. These one-off pieces can be used as a centrepiece on your table or mantle and also act as the ideal serving vessel.

I use one of these on my desk at work to make sure I stay hydrated during the day! I love the simplicity of the design and pretty colour combinations.

 6. Sustainability

Shockingly on the world market, less than 1% of textiles produced are currently recycled into new ones, and around 50% are downcycled, incinerated or landfilled.

We are thrilled when we get to work with manufactures doing their part to be more environmentally conscious. We are excited to share some new fabrics created from post-consumer recycled yarn. An excellent choice for the environment!

Come and speak to us today to learn more!

 7. ANZAC Day

We will be closed Tuesday 25th April to commemorate ANZAC Day.

We would love to know how you commemorate ANZAC Day. Do you attend a dawn service? Christchurch is holding the first dawn service back in Cathedral Square since the earthquakes.

It is heartwarming to see young and old New Zealanders come together to show respect and gratitude to those who have served their country.

Lest we forget.
