I always like to think that making things yourself to decorate or eat around Christmas adds to its charm. That is to get away from the commercialism of it all and spend time at home doing things with family, friends or quietly by yourself. That being said, there is no doubt that someone else may be able to do something much better than ourselves, and for that we have ETSY. We love Etsy is allows us to set up our own shop but really we love it because it exposes us to amazing talent from all over the world. Here are some our favourites for hand-made Xmas decorations.

There is nothing more homely than having a decent collection of vintage books that add warmth and character whilst making people think you are somewhat intellectual. They also make great gifts for the coming seasonal festivities.
As such Drunken House have a little collection of vintage Enid Blyton books appearing in our Etsy Store. There is the entire series of the Malory Towers books ranging from first editions to fourth.

There are now items available from the Drunken House shop on ETSY. With lots more to come and most only one offs, act quick to get it before it goes. SHOP HERE
This is a truly fabulous collection of four cups, saucers, plates, a milk jug and sugar bowl (with lid). In vibrant orange this set is very 'retro' with it's clamshell design and heavy 60's feel. That being said it will look fantastic in any home where one wants style with history. I'm sad to sell this. There are 4 Cups, 4 Saucers, 4 Small Plate, 1 Milk Jug and 1 Sugar Bowl. Made from glass and all in amazing condition.
We like tea at Drunken House and nothing makes us feel more 'retro' than this Biltons green and yellow greek(ish) style pattern. The England company have been making pottery since the 1900's and this collection we put at around 1960, although we cannot discover for sure. The set consists of: 6 Tea Cups, 6 Saucers, 6 Small Plates, 1 Milk Jug, 1 Sugar Bowl and 1 Large round plate for cake or sandwiches.
Very pretty tea set from Old Royal, England. This is a small set perfect for afternoon tea. With 3 cups, saucers and small plates as well as a milk jug and sugar bowl.

Architect Ville Hara and designer Linda Bergroth have created this remarkable garden shed/ greenhouse. As a unique proposition for combining the two structures into a new, and aesthetically pleasing design, the addition of wooden flooring and solar lights make Linda Bergroth’s personal early prototype an inspiring outside room.

If you are like my mother you enjoy buying things because you like them and do not care if they work with your decor, desired look or taste. If you are also like my mother you will then moan about how nothing in your home goes together and how awful it looks. Quite right, it is all well and good decorating your home with things you like, you should, it is after all your home. However you still have to try continuity in theme, design and general aesthetic. What I suggest is to create a scrap-book of your favourite interiors and from this, over time you will see a pattern emerging. This will be your favoured design, so run with it.
People go wrong with interior design for two main reasons (in my opinion). Continue reading »

Going one step further to new indulgence and hospitality, the once five star Grand Wiesler has freed itself from ratings and restrictions, points and regulations. Instead it aims to set “new standards as far as additional service is concerned”, very trendy, neccassary and modern of them.
The press shots below show the Wiesler in all its glory with branding by Moodley.
