So the children are back where they belong (at school that is) and your home is once again the clean and tidy haven you have ached for all summer. Aaaand relax!   To ensure you keep this reinstated authority on all things ‘decor’, you might need our assistance.   We’re thinking children's desks. Beautiful, durable, spacious desks.       You might be wondering ‘?’ But picture this. A world where the kitchen table isn’t buried in textbooks and a smattering of pens. Not to mention empty crisp packets and half finished drinks that will no doubt get spilled any...second..

The school holidays are almost over for many of us...Is that a collective sigh of relief I can hear? Yes, it certainly has been a tough few weeks, juggling work and childcare whilst trying to entertain a rabble of over-excited children. Surely there should be a reality show for this kind of stuff?   Anyway, just a few days more to suffer the trail of grass through the length of the house and those endless ‘surprises’ left in the craziest places. Banana skin in the washing machine anyone? Of course, these things will still go on I’m sure, just less often once our children are safely back..

Is your child’s bedroom in desperate need of a makeover?

I know the summer holidays haven't even begun, but I’m afraid I’m about to break the taboo and broach the touchiest of touchy subjects - going back to school…   I apologise profusely for any offense caused, to teachers and pupils alike, but I am just trying to give you the heads up about getting prepared for the autumn term. I’m talking about children's desks.       Every child needs somewhere to think, write, create and call their own. And somewhere to study too. The dining table is handy, yes, but getting all those books out then packing them all away again in time for ..

  Did you know that we can survive three times as long without food as we can without sleep?   It’s not something I’m about to set out to prove as I can’t last very long without either to be honest. Skipping breakfast following a fitful night’s sleep is a major game changer for me. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief once I’ve had my granola and 40 winks...   That’s how essential sleep is. It sets the tone for your day, your week and - depending on how you sleep as a child - it can set the tone for your whole life according to Dr Hilary Jones.     This week is Natio..

Choosing children’s bedroom furniture is no easy task. There is plenty to consider such as bed size, storage, plus design and colour too...

They also include a unique height adjustment feature, making them perfect for toddlers as well as for teens. On their lowest setting, the height from ..

Trampoline parks seems to be ‘springing’ up everywhere (pardon the pun) and as a consequence, my heart is spending an awful lot of time in my mouth these days.   In my younger years there was no such thing of course. Jumping on mum and dad’s bed was the best we could muster, but blimey it was fun! Sneaking upstairs when no one was looking and bouncing til the bedding came off. We never did manage to put it back on properly. Sorry mum!     The adrenalin was matched by precisely nothing, probably because it was strictly forbidden.   Due to this ‘rule’ being ingrained in my h..

It’s National Bed Month and everyone is talking about our gorgeous furniture collections for children. So we thought this would be a good opportunity to remind you that ‘Little’ Lucy Willow is also suitable for ‘not so little’ ones too... We are renowned for producing affordable, luxurious bedroom furniture for children, whether it be a first bed for a toddler or a space saving bed for an older child. But our exclusive collections are also perfect for teenagers and adults too! Our timeless designs create a stunning backdrop to the ever changing tastes of a child which means that one c..

Is that a hint of luuurrrve I can sense in the oh so misty air…?   So, Valentine’s Day is upon us once again. To celebrate, we are offering 20% off all gifts in our designated Valentine’s section until midnight on Sunday.   Seeing as our lives will soon be riddled with romance (fingers crossed) I thought we could show our little ones that we love them lots too!   At Little Lucy Willow we know how much little girls adore hearts and fairytales and we believe our gorgeous Looby Lou children's furniture range captures their dainty dreams just perfectly.   Looby Lou low..

In the beginning, when Lucy Willow first started selling furniture back in 2007, and with little experience and limited budget, we decided to deliver our furniture ourselves. Every Friday night we would load up our large van in order to deliver everyone’s furniture for the weekend. This invariably meant a 4.00am start in order to beat the traffic to travel to various parts of the country to begin a long day’s work as well as face the inevitable long drive back home. I am thankful that those days are gone and we now employ the services of a professional delivery company however along the wa..

Phew! So that’s half term out of the way. I hope you all survived the mayhem. I did but I can’t honestly say that I’m in one piece.   It was Martha’s birthday party and this year she chose the one place that paralyses me with fear. No, it wasn’t the ghost train at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, or IKEA on a Saturday afternoon for that matter. It was one of those pesky trampoline parks.   Now I did my research and told all the mums that if their children were under the age of six they would need to be accompanied by an adult. Seeing as Martha was turning six and is one of the older ones ..

So half term is almost upon us. Is it just me or is time whizzing by at the speed of a top Federer serve?   If you are dreading the prospect of a week with the children, then fear no more.   Here is my list of possible activities that you can print off and store in your handbag. Call it an insurance policy. My pleasure...   Go bonkers with conkers. Paint, stick, jewelleryfy, but first of all go out and collect them!         Bake, bake, bake. A great way to get your children interested in food should you be struggling. Buy a simple children..

Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a thorough diagnosis when suffering from an ailment. However, when said ailment is broadcast to complete strangers, along with my name, address, phone number and CB radio handle...well I think I’d rather suffer in silence.   By the way, the following tale has nothing whatsoever to do with beautiful handmade to order children’s bedroom furniture, which we specialise in at Little Lucy Willow, but I thought I would tell you anyway...       The other day I was in the chemist thanks to a rather nasty bout of athlete's foot. I know you prob..
