Ahh Autumn. Trees and hedgerows bursting with colour, often against a cobalt sky. An extra layer, perhaps a new hat and scarf and life is once again on an even keel after the spontaneous madness of summer. Perhaps it’s the combination of cool air and glorious sunshine that excites me, or the crisp leaves underfoot occasionally dancing in the breeze. Maybe it’s just the sheer feast of colour at every turn, willing me to admire its beauty for just a minute longer? Ok I know I’m being a little poetic. I purposely omitted the part where a ferocious storm strips the trees, sending..
With school just around the corner and the inevitable weekend sleepover requests along with it, you are going to need somewhere for your little (or big) guests to stay. If space is something you find hard to come by in your house then you will require a bed that magically appears at exactly the right moment, then magically disappears when you no longer need it. So with that in mind ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my good friend, the truckle bed.
The truckle bed design might be centuries old, but its space-saving credentials are timeless, which is why ..
Ok children, avert your eyes. Me and your mum are about to talk school desks… Now there’s how to clear a room.
However old your child may be, another school year means new uniforms, bigger shoes and more homework. With that added workload in mind, now could be the right time to start thinking about buying your budding student a desk. Somewhere for them to work quietly without distraction. Something spacious, solid and practical. Somewhere to feel inspired perhaps?
Well it just so happens that we have exactly what you are looking for right here. Fro..
It’s that time again. The turning point of the holidays that children generally hate and their parents generally love.
Yes it’s time to start thinking about going back to school! To ease the pain for your little ones, we have £30 worth of WHSmith vouchers to give away with every order over £750 – for all those stationery essentials – plus 10% off our storage and bags.
It’s a tough time for kids. I recall having a very personal dislike of clothing giant, C&A, as a youngster, being faced with their pretend blackboards scribbled with “bak to skool” and other such ‘crazy’..
Throw those curtains wide and get yourselves outside…
This month we are hoping to get all you lovely Willowers out and about. Walking, running, doing cartwheels you name it. A picnic in a Little Lucy Willow playhouse (which are 10% of for this month only!) perhaps? Why not send in your photographs – and summer recipes – and share your activities with us?
Rain or shine, summer should be fun for us and our children so smear on the factor 50, throw open the doors and soak up the sun. Oh and it might be an idea to have the raincoats handy. Just saying…
It’s n..
Children’s beds are big business these days with the vast range of products available surpassing anything we have seen before. In such a competitive market we know we must deliver quality children’s bedroom furniture at the right price. It’s for this reason that we are constantly refreshing our designs and collections, the latest addition to the fold being our stunning designer divan beds.
The Little Lucy Willow in house team has chosen some gorgeous fabrics for the collection which are simple, fresh and timeless. With the added option to buy matching fabric for curtai..
This might at first seem like a strange question to ask! But we are in the bed business after all, so please accept this as serious market research. Somewhat less seriously, the reason we ask is that no-one here can actually remember their bed, or much of their bedroom furniture as a young child. Which led us to question whether children ever appreciate what beautiful furniture they have these days?
Clearly our childhood bedroom furniture was so uninspiring it has been quickly erased from memory. But then everything was probably less inspiring all those (twen..
What’s not to like about bunk beds? They’re fun for climbing up and they’re fun for jumping off (although don’t tell the guys from Health & Safety that!). They’re practical, they’re space saving and are available in a range of shapes and sizes. The only downside is deciding who gets the top bunk! And, depending on which one you choose, they generally convert easily to two single beds for when the time is right and you have the space. So how can we here at Lucy Willow improve on a much loved and centuries old design bed that has been adored by kids throughout the world?

We are well into the new year now and the team have been back into the swing of things, busy designing new ranges and launching our gorgeous new Little Buoy Blue collection and Bertie Beetle Collection for young boys. Then, down came the snow and after being house bound for almost 3 days due to the avalanche around my house, desperation set in and I knew that something had to be done about it. Out I went brandishing a 99p plastic spade that was bought on Southport promenade. I kitted myself out in my pink wellies, Martha’s hello kitty hat and hubby’s walking socks on my hands. 2 hours lat..
