The Driftwood Side Tables are £95 and £120;  the Porthole Mirrors £49 and £55; the Linen throws £95 and £110; the iron Desk Lights £95 each.

This hand-crafted pendant light in white washed iron has an aged retro look and is £65. The glass votive candle holders in classic blue & white stripes and checks are £4-£6 each.
