Welcome to our Beautiful Heirloom Home inspired by the William Morris quote:

“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”  ― William Morris

We wanted to create something that celebrated the skills and heritage from the past and how to create beautiful treasures for the future.  In years gone by skilled craftspeople laboured over exquisite and beautiful items that stood the test of time. We want to identify these treasures and recognise those who still practise those skills and encourage new people to learn these skills so that this knowledge is not lost forever.

ABOUT THE CREATORS

Beautiful Heirloom Home is created by Mother and Daughter team Kaye Thorne and Louise Sinclair, also known for their lifestyle online magazine – Hot Brands Cool Places (www.hotbrandscoolplaces.com).  We wanted to create a space for homes and gardens but also for special treasures that we find, photography, styling and so much more.  

We both have a passion for the beautiful and special, Kaye loves to spend hours making art, with her camera or working on embroidery and Louise is often creating special pieces of art, taking photographs or in the garden cultivating cut flowers for her antique vases.

We hope you enjoy our little space of beautiful and if you would like to get in touch with us please email: home@beautifulheirloomhome.co.uk
