Light up your life with The Stuff of Life.

louise gorrod October 26, 2015

So the clocks went back yesterday meaning our evenings will now get darker all the sooner. It needn’t be all doom and gloom though – with the right lighting you can create a warm and cosy home. Over at The Stuff of Life we have the perfect selection of lighting to see you through the darker months.

Group together a small cluster of tea lights or candlesticks, stock up on candles and create a cosy glow in the evening. Or if you’re feeling crafty, why not create your own lampshade? One of these DIY lampshade craft kits is all you need.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
