That is it folks, the Valentines sale is over, people went mad in the shops buying ‘special’ ready meals and chocolate or strawberry focused sweet treats, we went and did our food shop, not the best idea as it was awfully busy, and it is half-term here in the UK, children everywhere. I digress.

In other news, have you seen Jamie Oliver’s new pizza restaurant ‘Union Jacks’, designed by Blacksheep. It is full of carefully curated kitsch.Pics from Fast Code Design

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.

Anyone For Tea?

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.

Isabel Quiroga’s Storyteller Bookshelf concept is simple yet wonderfully effective. Providing attractive wall storage and display out of vintage tables. Because of its somewhat modular design, one can pick and choose their style, colour and make a perfect fit for their purpose. See more at Isabel’s website: Isabel Quiroga.

Hello and welcome to Drunken House, soon to be realised as your favourite home for all things designer, interior, fashion and life enhancing through prettiness. So the story goes, it was just past mid-day when the force came down on three relatives to come up with a way to make money. Through an awfully clogged job market, the likelihood of any one of us gaining lawful employment would be low. One could have worked the streets, but was prone to blisters on his toes and chose the next best thing, to sell himself on the internet. Of course again there is the problem of legalities and such so to sell furniture was the concluding business idea. Great, an idea with real practicalities for which all three relatives could get hands on and accomplish something. The only problem was what to call our new business that would instantly make us millionaires. Turn to late afternoon, barely evening, and a bottle of Amaretto later, the name Drunken House comes about as one calls the other two “drunken cows”, but is miss heard. What could go wrong?!So beggineth the pleasure of working with family, the indulgence in design, craft and the less so enjoyable world of business, branding and the great global public. We evolved quickly from refurbishing old furniture to designing and producing furnishing, accessories and fashion pieces of our own. We hope to make Drunken House a name for all stylish, trendy and yet unique individuals who want statement pieces, ‘one-offs’ and short run quality products that represent them, the times and a great design conscious.Here at drunkenhouse.com we will serve you up trends in interiors, fashion and lifestyle as well as give you the best chance to get your hands on the most gorgeous pieces from our online store. So sit back, relax, browse, subscribe, like us on facebook, follow us on twitter, invite us round for dinner (and drinks).

Just live, let us do all the work, and expect madness to prevail.

Welcome

Drunken House, created in 2011 by three relatives aims to offer the most stylish, desirable and unique objects for furnishing your home. Be it a refurbished dining table from 1810, a classic piece of 1960's furniture or a quintessential handmade finishing touch or gift.

Above all we seek quality and style. If we can't find it, we'll make it, if we can't make it, we'll talk about it, if we can't talk about it we'll have a drink and reconsider.

So join us here for our take on the latest interior trends, essential design tips and of course all the details on obtaining the pieces you need to achieve great rooms and a beautiful home.

Basically…

Drunken House is an effort by three relatives to push design and style into peoples lives. Such a quest cannot be achieved easily. First and foremost they must educate themselves, then they have to combine skill, creativity and brut labour into producing stylish and design-centric articles. Of course working with family will have it ups and downs, but together they might be able to pull off something spectacular. A new home-grown, family business. Plus with Dexter, the ridiculously good looking one in charge, Drunken House is bound to succeed.
xoxo
