handmade wooden mirror with shelf & recycled hooks

10th July 2019 By Marc Wood Leave a Comment

In our Somerset workshop, we work with a mixture of reclaimed wood and sustainable natural timbers; we use traditionally joinery technique, re-use materials and source locally wherever possible.

We offer a light rustic ‘antique’ tone and a medium-dark classic Danish Oil finish; these are hard wearing while enhancing the beautiful natural wood grain.

Our handmade wooden mirror with shelf and recycled coat hanger hooks has been a very popular addition to our modern rustic furniture collection.

Our mirrors are perfect for your hallway, bathroom and bedroom.

We have expanded our range to include architectural style chunky metal coat hooks and our mirror with shelf designs can be crafted to hang portrait or landscape.

Garden nation
Britain has more gardens open for visitors than anywhere else the world, and in South Somerset you can well believe it because we are spoiled for choice with many gorgeous large gardens really close by; from the intimate National Trust Lytes Carey to the privately owned modern art gallery and vast gardens at Hestercombe.

These local outdoor spaces are perfect for planting inspiration, the Wood family love spending time in our Somerset country garden and we have been working really hard on revamping the space over the past few summers.

We are fortunate to know several keen amateur gardeners who are on hand for advice and plant-chat, we also often refer to our local gardening magazine, now available online ‘Country Gardener’ is filled with inspirational photos, features and tips to get the best out of your garden, geared towards the South West of England, we find the local events and seasonal planting guides especially helpful.

Our relaxing courtyard space
To make the most of our small walled garden we have a small ceramic waterfall, which is placed against the climbing hydrangea in a partly shaded corner, we love the calming sound of the flowing water and the tiered blue ceramic bowls spilling their cooling water into the dappled sunshine remind us of our trips to the large public fountains of the beautiful parks of Seville in southern Spain.
