Untitled
We introduced you to 1940s-inspired retro emporium Utility last year. This Cook's Conversion Table is a new addition to their charming tea towel collection.

As practical as it is stylish, the Cook's Conversion Table tea towel is invaluable to any cook braving the confusing world of weight & volume conversions. It's pretty nifty for drying your dishes too. Like all of their tea towels, it's handmade and printed in their Brighton studio on high quality cotton and is available in either plain white or striped.

The Cook's Conversion Table tea towel is £9.50 from Utility in store or by mail order. See the website for more details.

Either use this glass cake stand to wow your friends with your baking abilities or as a pretty edition to a dressing table.

It's inspired by the south of France of the 1950s, and the clear glass model has a lovely pressed design, perfect for any special celebrations or just to make not-so special occasions a little more exciting. If you're going all out, buy one in each size and you will have a double tiered cake.

The small version is 23cm and £15 and the larger stand is 30cm and only costs £20 from The Contemporay Home online.

Iconic UKGL-510 TV Stand

As flat screen televisions weren’t around in the middle of the last century, it isn’t surprising that there is a limited choice of retro stands., although we have managed to find a few such as the Iconic UKGL-510 TV Stand.

The stand has all the features you need for today’s televisions, including a universal support system, cable management facility and a toughened glass shelf for your DVD player. The retro-influence comes from the walnut finish and subtle wave to the stand back.

It costs £199 and can be ordered from The Plasma Centre via Amazon.

The cushion is handmade and uses 100% linen. Each piece is individually made so the exact design may vary, but rest assured they will all feature illustrations of grand pieces of furniture. Some designs feature just one piece such as a sofa or chandelier, whereas the design pictured here (also available in pink) has a whole collection of furniture.

The cushions cost £45 each from Chocolate Creative.

Narbonne vintage style nesting tables from Artisanti

Nest of tables

Though your school days aren't the most obvious choice for home inspiration, that's exactly what is behind these Narbonne vintage-style nesting tables from Artisanti. 

The nest contains three tables, all with wood tops and cream-painted tubular legs that evoke a post-war style and create a vintage feel.

It's also the kind of furniture also being explored by Very Good and Proper at the moment. If you can't stretch your budget to afford those but like their looks, I'm pleased to say these are just that little bit cheaper – a set of these tables costs £179.
