Bath and New Bed

Sorry in advanced for the photo heavy post, we've been working on Lola's new dog bed for a while, it's totally a case of we had no where to put her bed in the house that wasn't in the way or somewhere that she could relax and feel cosy.  Until one day Davy suggested that we build her one that fits perfectly under the table in the kitchen, what a great idea!!

So we set to work on the design and specification, we wanted to use pallet wood as it has that lovely reclaimed look at comes up lovely after lots of love and hard work, sanding, sawing and waxing. 

 

 

 

Got to have a bath before trying out the new bed!

I got hold of some lovely coffee sacks and filled them full of reclaimed sheep wool so it would be really comfy and warm for her, she seems to like it!

Bous UK

So we are finally live, i thought my first post could be a list of FAQ's to get started!


Who or what exactly is Bous UK...

A reclaimed and vintage homeware shop with a nod to industrial and mid century styling.  A carefully curated mix of old and up-cycled treasures. 

Who runs the show...

Kate, a designer for the last 9 years has a huge passion for interiors and has a real eye for things and knows what works.  Kate spent most of her Saturday mornings as a child in auction houses- she was the kid at the back swinging her legs back and forth on a mid century Eames chair.


Davy, great with his hands he can knock up just about anything, he has a passion for handcrafting salvaged objects and materials into functional and quirky new products. He tries to 'design outside of the box' and has an enthusiasm for the retro, modern rustic and streamlined industrialism.

Lola, the Airedale terrier who thinks she calls the shots, but really she's great at receiving hugs.
