Spring Home!

We launched our new reclaimed wood frames last week, our new frames are made from raw pieces of reclaimed wood, that have been made from old schools, barns and houses. All the frames have minor imperfections that all add to the rustic charm of these frames. What photo would you put in the frame?

We have our patchwork photo frame, which holds a 5 x 7" photo


Our blue photo frame holds a 8 x 10" print


Our 5 photo frame is perfect for a focal point in a room, holding 5 photos that all tell a story


If you are looking for a statement mirror, you have found it with our patchwork wood mirror! A great size and absolutely beautiful!


Take a look at our new reclaimed wood frames on our website!

Post Christmas Deco!

Your house can always feel a little empty after you have taken down all your Christmas decorations, your Christmas tree and Christmas cards. Ellie Ellie have what you need this January to put a little bit of sparkle back in your home after the Christmas season! All it takes is a little imagination and some simple things you normally find in your home.

This is a great piece of wall art, made from used corks, just save up your corks, make a backing for the artwork and stick on your corks, you can make different shaped ones too!


A cheese grater is a family staple and can always be found in the kitchen. This light fitting is a innovative way of making use of an old cheese grater and would it perfectly in the kitchen area.


Although this lampshade looks lovely and pretty, it is actually only made from plastic bottles! This is an example of a great way to get creative and see what you can make from such an easy object, your end result may not look like this but there are many ways in could be done to look great!


An ingenious way to reuse an old rake from the garden to make a wine holder for the kitchen! If you had more time you could paint it as well to match it to the decor and colours in your kitchen!

 
This is the simplest way to refresh your home in the new year, clean your old jam jars and add some flowers for the prettiest arrangements with a vintage feel on your mantelpiece or windowsill.



What are you doing to your home this January?

Ellie Ellie Wears- Ethical Fashion

This week we've inspired by eco-concious fashion. Toms is a brand that Ellie Ellie adore. For every pair that they sell, they give a person in need a pair too. Thier 'One for One' campaign is incredibly inspiring for the fashion industry and we hope that more brands follow suit. They donate shoes to over 80 countries who really need our help. Elephant Branded are another brand that is really moving mountains. They offer bags and accessories ethically handmade in Cambodia from recycled cement bags- for ever bag they sell they donate a school kit to children in Africa or Asia. Ellie Ellie's upcycled music sheet studs are a great little accessory for this outfit too- we handmade each pair saving tons of old music books hitting landfills.
