The Farmers Daughter's and new D&M items

The Farmers Daughter's pop-up shop was our first public platform and now a limited range of our products are avaliable in this fabulous shop.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Farmers-Daughter/181181281913194

We have met amazing people that also attended this event and it sparked off alot of new ideas.

Have a look at our new products that we are super excited about.
Hope you guys feel the love.

We have always been inspired by simple shapes and with the button being such an iconic symbol we designed a chalkboard to go in your craft or sewing room.

Avaliable in grey mauve / pink and black and in A1 size it's the perfect focus point to a wall.

For the person that's got everything ... we can all do with a bit of luck.

Building on the sucsess of our river rock door stops the paper weight was the logical next step. We love the combination of the natural stone and aspirational crystal knob.

The colour charcoal

Greys are still all the rage in the décor world and we were inspired by vintage chalkboards that after years of work turn a powdery charcoal colour.

Charcoal is such a nice deep variety of grey that really works well when black’s too harsh.

The word falls nicely on the ear in winter and reminds us of fire places, overcast weather, art work done in charcoal, stately grey suits and even river pebbles.

We have found some great pictures that just had to be shared.

Enjoy, D&M xxx

Carla & Derrick's happily ever after

Carla and Derick are good friends of ours and the nicest people you'll ever meet. Therefore we felt very privileged to be part of their big day at http://www.forest44.co.za/

We absolutely LOVED the little facebook cards on the side plates for guests to write well wishes to the couple. So clever!

Chalkboard ideas for your home and care instructions

Add a chalkboard surface to your home by paining a focus wall or door surface. This is not a new concept but so few are brave enough to do it and it really adds so much personality to a room.

We will be sharing some very clever ideas to inspire you to take the leap of faith.

The first question your partner will ask is - it's all good and well honey, but how do we get the paint of the wall when we move house?

Over time you will need to repaint your wall but here's some tips on how to keep it looking good and not full of chalk clouds or chips. http://www.ehow.com/how_4740758_care-chalkboard.html


Blackboard border We love this pink wall bordered with a blackboard strip.

Kids playroom wall
We like the graphic element these different squares makes on the playroom wall. I take it the top squares are reserved for parents / teachers (wink).

Organised drawers
Lovely blue chest of drawers with the names of items it keeps writen on in a pretty font.
