British made: Another Country





These lovely oak pieces are hand made by Another Country, a small Dorset based furniture company. This is their first collection, drawing inspiration from a mix of British Country, Shaker, Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork. They also work to strict environmentally friendly principles, using FSC certified wood, natural latex mattresses and organic lambswool from farms in Devon and Dorset. I like companies who care about green matters. My personal favorite is the daybed in the image above. So simple, so pretty.

Tetbury visit: Anne Fowler Antiques



Anyone who has ever been to Tetbury knows that you are spoilt for choice when it comes to antiques and vintage shops. Here is another of my favorites. Arranged over two floors, Anne Fowler Antiques has a light and relaxed feel, stocking a mix of decorative furniture, industrial lighting and modern paintings.

Tetbury visit: Amy Perry



Amy Perry Antiques defines themselves as a purveyor of decorative and off-beat antiques. They stock an eclectic mix of painted furniture, retro finds and vintage linen. Lovely little shop.

Tetbuty visit: Lorfords



Lorfords is another Tetbury favorite, a must every time I'm there. Crammed full of antiques and reclaimed pieces it is a treasure throve for interior finds and inspiration. I could walk around there for hours, constantly discovering new things.
