Hello, I’m Lyndsey and I run Rose & Grey, an online boutique selling stylish furniture and accessories for the home. After living and working in London as DVD Manager for Channel 4 for many years we decided to relocate to south Manchester to be closer to family, friends and babysitters. In October 2008 my husband and I launched Rose & Grey and finally realised a life long passion for sourcing beautiful things that create stylish and unique homes. I now run the shop from my home office where I live with my husband and my 2 lovely boys Finn, 4 and Ollie 2.
READER OFFER: Lyndsey is kindly offering our readers a 10% off everything in the lovely Rose and Grey Store. The code you need to use at the checkout is RGR010. Happy Shopping!
I collect… beautiful and inspiring images for the mood board in my office.
I can’t live without… the first cup of coffee of the day
My guilty pleasure is… reality TV, sad I know but it’s a great way to relax with a glass of wine.
Our house is filled with… children’s toys mainly, though we keep them under control in charming old storage boxes, and of course Rose & Grey storage boxes with wheels!
I treasure my… wonderfully supportive and fun family and friends
Right now I can’t stop thinking about… redecorating the house, it’s a never ending project and we’re currently thinking of what colour to paint the lounge.
Currently I am reading… the instruction manual to my new Cannon Digital SLR.
My favourite item of clothing is… several pairs of pumps and flip flops I’m not very good with high heels, its comfort all the way for me.
At the top of my furniture wish list is… a huge old dining table that will seat 12.
The last thing that really inspired me was… Brick Lane. When I lived in the East End of London I really enjoyed the buzz of Brick Lane especially on a Sunday when the market was on and on a recent visit I found some time to go back there. If anything, it was even more chaotic, colourful and aromatic than I remembered.
My comfort food is… sausage and mash, roast dinner or our favourite Chinese takeaway on a Friday night.
On my desk are… my computer, my “to do” list, a cup of coffee and a pile of interiors magazines
This weekend I will… take my son to a friend’s birthday, find and outfit for my husband’s 40th, do my accounts and put my feet up for 5 minutes, hopefully.
Tonight I must… go to bed early
I love what I do because… I love the excitement of finding wonderful new products and beautiful houses to shoot them in. I love the feeling I get when customers send me nice feedback because they clearly enjoy the product as much as I do. I get to talk to and meet lots of lovely and interesting people and I enjoy being my own boss, I feel very lucky.
