Wishlist: Ottomans

* Triple points go to Aisling Scally and her super website. A stay at home mum, she came up with some innovative designs that turned into a successful business. There’s an array of delights on here, from personalised wooden handpainted stars to papercutting art. My favourite is the idea of getting your child’s name in vintage cream scrabble tiles on a scrabble rack, all presented beautifully in a 25x25cm deep box frame. €25, and any inscription can be put along the bottom. They can be ordered online at www.loveletterarts.com.
* They named it twice so it must be one helluva town. Muriva’s Big Apple wallpaper is a photographic collage of iconic images from New York, slightly textured, very bold, very striking. It comes in 10m rolls for €17.25 per/roll, available from B&Q nationwide or online at www.diy.com/ie.
