Wishlist: Teal dish

Teal is such a beautiful colour, it deserves to be incorporated into the kitchen. Check out this 'Volcanic' petite round casserole dish from Le Creuset, it’s yummy. Available for €18 or thereabouts from www.lecreuset.com, Debenhams, Brown Thomas, Shaws and other stockists.

We love hearing about new interiors stores and just-out-of-the-wrapper Style 25 has some seriously cute products. Case in point this Miho decorative, eco friendly bird house, €30 from Style 25, Drawbridge St, Cork. 0879618593 or find them on Facebook.

Planning a party? Impress with this rather delightful dinner plate, called the Emily. It’s €6.95 from Meadows and Byrne nationwide.

Heatons have some nice spring accessories in store at the moment. We like these quirky velvet check cushions, available in two colours, blue and red; these on trend cushions will cheer up any room. Available for €15 in all Heatons stores and online at www.heatonsstores.com.
