Photoshoot Location

Stainless Steel Lanterns
We have just come back from a fabulous photoshoot at an 18th Century rustic farmhouse - Higher Grogley Farm, the most wonderful artist's retreat... a stunning and tranquil location where you can totally get away from it all. Details can be found here

This beautiful farmhouse is in a truly inspirational setting in Cornwall, tucked away in the arms of the Ruthern Valley. Here - surrounded by peacocks, dogs, horses and cats - you will experience Cornish country living just a short drive from the wild oceanic scenery of the North Coast.

It is the home of Janet Shearer, an acclaimed artist with whom one-to-one art tuition is available on request, as well as a variety of courses - further details here

We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to Janet for allowing us to have the photoshoot and for looking after us so well for the day !!

We can't wait to go back...

New Summer Outdoor Candlelight Collection from Nordic House

click to enlarge

Glass Bubble Vase
Nordic House has selected the very best on offer from the land of the midnight sun, choosing limited-edition contemporary artefacts from well-known Danish designers, adding a stunning array of outdoor lighting, wall sconces, lanterns and hurricane lamps.

While the summer solstice is celebrated all over the world, it is particularly important in Nordic countries where, on the longest day, the sun dips below the horizon for only a short while and the sky never properly turns to night. These long summer days and long dusky evenings are the time for contemplation, a time to recharge the batteries and relax outdoors.

The unique huge handmade outdoor candles look wonderful bunched together as a mixed-height group. They come in black as well as white and there are six sizes in this outdoor only range. The largest candle is 50cm high and it will burn for 280 hours. For the first time too, www.nordichouse.co.uk is stocking a wrought iron brazier or firepit - which comes with a removable barbecue section - and matches a large black iron candle basket.

The Danish Designer Collection speaks of natural textures of sculpted slate, stone and wood as well as burnished and glowing metals used to create oil lamps for long term outdoor use. All of the new lamps house a unique air system to ensure the proper burning of the oil wick, while a little purpose-made lid can be used to extinguish the flame safely and protect the wick from the elements as these stunning lamps can be left outside all summer.

The complete new collections can be seen online at www.nordichouse.co.uk. The collections will be limited and constantly evolving as the season progresses.

Designer Bird Feeder
Bird Feeder
Only the Scandinavians could come up with a truly modern architectural-looking bird feeder which has to be a 'must have' for anyone interested in contemporary living.

This delightful gift-packed statement bird house - for that is what the feeder looks like - is now available in the UK from the online boutique www.nordichouse.co.uk as part of the recently launched Danish Designer Collection. And, if you live in the US, the bird house is in stock at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as well.

The feeder, created by Danish designers Jesper Moller Hanson and Dorthe Weiss - both well known for their clean and simple home art work - is sold in two sizes. For more information go here.

Summer 2010 has seen this Scandinavian-inspired home accessories boutique launch several new ranges including Coastal Living. Boxed gift vouchers are also available.

Brazier/Barbecue for Father's Day
Brazier
This year's outdoor 'must-have' for Father's Day - or the man in your life - is the wrought iron brazier/barbecue now available from the online home accessories boutique www.nordichouse.co.uk.

The braziers are sourced in Sweden and can be used as a stylish firepit or a barbecue as they come supplied with a special barbecue grill. This very clever Scandinavian design is practical too, as logs burn incredibly well. Matching outdoor candle baskets are available, together with large hand made Swedish outdoor candles in white or black.

So imagine, summer is here and it's time for quiet balmy evenings sitting around the brazier, cooking supper for friends on the barbecue grill, watching the sun go down, relaxing and allowing your eyes to adapt to the flickering flames and mesmeric candle light.

For a unique range of Scandinavian inspired outdoor lanterns, hurricane lamps and candles - including the just-launched Danish Designer Collection and coastal living home accessories, go to www.nordichouse.co.uk
