We've just had a delivery of these beautiful Table Lamps from Garden Trading.

Like all of their lighting they are lovely quality, the corded wire and adjustable raw oak bi-fold arm are just gorgeous and the colour of the powder-coated steel is spot on!  There are some similar lights available on the high street but this one is leagues apart  in looks and quality in my opinion.

We've styled these lamps on the bedside tables in our own home.  The tables are restored Victorian and the Bermondsey Lamp complements them perfectly, they'd be equally at home in a modern setting though, or a sitting room.  I love versatile pieces that you know you will use forever as they'll always fit into your décor throughout the years.

When purchasing new stock at Alcove we always stick to our mantra ' Would we have it in our home'?

We only have items in the shop that we genuinely think are lovely, a bit different, and unique to what else is out there on the high street. We also try to stock items that fill a household gap!

 I have been looking for a nice Bath Caddy for our bathroom for years ( yes I am THAT sad!)  and I just couldn't find one that I liked the look of and that was nice enough to fit in with the rest of our vintage vibe bathroom.

So I was really excited to see this one.  They are £39.95 at Alcove, and one is in our bathroom straight away!

We have also just had a delivery of these Magazine Racks.

  They're made from white metal, Fairtrade and £19.95 each.  I love the way that they're understated, they don't take up much room and your most recent magazines are there in easy reach for those rare moments of relaxation!  They also fold away if need be when not in use .I think they'd go with all types of décor too.

Finally, I was chuffed when I spotted these lovely Egg Baskets ( erm, perhaps I DO need to get out more?!)

Eggs should be ideally kept out of the fridge, but I had never found a holder that I liked.  As soon as I spotted this one from Garden Trading it was straight into Alcove ( and on our kitchen counter too!)  I love the way it is simple and looks great whilst being genuinely useful. Get your own for £15 at Alcove.
