recent press + thank you's

a few late thank you's for some lovely recent press.

our asymmetrical blackened oak serving boards were featured in the march 2014 issue of Elle Decoration.
the style story "modern minimal" was styled by Sania Pell and photographed by Uli Schade.
it's our 1st time in the magazine so a huge thank you to Sania for using one of our pieces.

we are currently working on new blackened oak boards {they aren't available on our website yet} so we will keep you posted.
there are more images from Sania's style story on her lovely blog here & about her other handmade purchases from MadeLondon here.

we were recently asked to answer a few questions about our work for the Parcelforce Worldwide blog as part of their look at Great British Brands - take a look at our interview here and thanks to Suzanne for putting this together.

and we'd also like to thank Traci at Bliss blog for choosing us as one of her blissfull pinners here.
Traci chose our "wear" board on Pinterest as one of her favourites for effortless feminine style.
