The Not-Very-Odd Chair Company

As you may have noticed, I'm a bit of an Anglophile.  I'm awfully fond of all things English, most especially their impeccable taste, craftsmanship and exceptional interior design skill. Maybe it's because I prefer pared-down traditional interiors and find that the English do them best.

So I thought I'd share one of my favorite English companies with you:  The Odd Chair Company.  The Odd Chair Company are custom furniture makers and upholsters who use traditional techniques and materials in all their designs. They can even make allergy-free products for the modern man!

Here are some of my favorite selections from their seductive site.  There is nothing odd about these chairs...just simply lovely!

How about these charming pink species:

The English can really pick a pattern:

I love these regal beauties:

And I could stare at this handsome pair all day:

While this pretty pair sit quietly in any room:

Or how about this airy and gracious look (I want them both!):

Nothing says perfection like these classic pieces (isn't the rose sofa a dream?): 

And some are best for just admiring:

 I hope you've enjoyed the tour - please visit their site.

More British Beauties

These charming finds are from lovely British Mailorder retailer Cox & Cox.  I receive their emails but have just requested a catalogue and cannot wait for their beautifully styled and photographed collection to arrive in my mailbox.

I may just have to order something - perhaps this charming seaside hurricane...

I am coveting this heart candle:

And this Sophie Conran pouring bowl would be perfect for scrambled eggs:

I love this curvaceous tri-level candle sconce:

And would love to read the story of The Kiss:

Happy hearts and...

flowers too...

~ Beautiful Finds at (British) Brissi ~

I have a terrible penchant for beautiful things.  

My latest obsession is British home decor shops and decor sites, a fixation fuelled by my burgeoning addiction to UK decorating magazines.  Someone had to fill the magazine void, and luckily the Brits were there to save the day.  These days, I cannot gush enough about British style!

Suffice it to say, I am transfixed by the treasures available at UK retailer Brissi - their collection is both classically beautiful and affordable: 

Now, I wonder if the ship across the pond?

I need some dishes for magical little soaps:

And my preserves have been looking lost without a proper jam pot holder:  

My toast also needs some propping up:

These regal tea light holders look like little glass bricks:

And they even make furniture, as spell-binding as this chest:

Not to mention this dressing table and gorgeous mirror.  I would not be able to pull myself away each day and would have to get a new job, working from home:

Hope you have enjoyed your virtual shopping!
