Garden Trading

Browsing in my local lifestyle boutique on the weekend, I noticed some new homewares mixed in with the usual selection of fashion, accessories, books and gifts. A quick glance at the tag told me the brand was Garden Trading, a UK-based company which I can’t believe hasn’t been on my radar until now. 

Originally selling garden and outdoor living products, Garden Trading now deals in kitchenware, lighting and gifts as well. Part shabby chic and part retro kitsch, the look is English charm at its best. I might go out later to have another look in person, but in the meantime, here are my favourite things from the site: 

The items that first caught my eye, the Louella Butter dish and Retro juicer (also available as a set): 

gt one

I can never resist anything in this shade, so I’m coveting this apple green Retro Jug

gt two

A touch pricey for me, but this Wall Scoop Cabinet would be useful in any room of the house (I’d love it for my bedroom, to store jewelery): 

gt three

I like this Mini Chalk Panel Box for its versatility- just label and re-label as needed: 

gt fourThis Casserole Pot has flowers on it! Enough said: 

gt five

From the Found collection of vintage and reclaimed items, this wooden Fruit Bowl is appealingly rustic: 

gt six

    That cabinet is too precious. It belongs in my dream kitchen. Also great for a hallway – those little spice drawers could hide all sorts of odds and ends.

    I know, I love it too. At £195.00 it’s a bit too rich for my blood, but it’s so great. I’d love to have it in a bedroom or walk-in closet. The hooks could be for belts or scarves and the little scoops for jewelry!
