Welcome along ...

I have itchy feet (bloomin' cold ones actual as its freezing today) while waiting for my website to launch, so I thought I'd cheat and skip to the next step and add a blog post first !

HMMM... THINK THEY'RE COMPANY VALUES ...

In preparation for the website launch I've been trying to come up with a brief for JW (my newly found web designer). So I decided to try and put into words what Ivy House Interiors means to me and what I want it to mean to others - from a non-design point of view - I suppose in a roundabout way what I have been developing are company values ...poor JW has got the thankless task of trying to take my garble and turn it into something that looks pretty, and funky,...and quirky,...and logical, ...and like the vodka site that I found !! So I thought that as a start point for the blog I'd share these company values - then you all have the right to keep me on my toes and point out should I ever not live up to them !

10 WORDS TO DESCRIBE IVY HOUSE INTERIORS

1. APPROACHABLE & FUN ... 2 words I know but they're my rules so I can break them
2. UNPRETENCIOUS ... preconceived ideas about Interior Designers perhaps ?
3. BRILLIANT ...you can thank Michael Heppell for that one (http://www.michaelheppell.com/)
4. HOMELY ...its about creating homes after all
5. PRACTICAL ...sometimes you just need someone to get the job done....
6. PROFESSIONAL
7. RELIABLE
8. HONEST...but lets face it if you are paying for something you want 110% service (hence 3 values)
9. DOWN TO EARTH ...I'm a Lancashire Lass at heart
10. FLEXIBLE ...we can't all wait in from 8am until 8pm at 2 days notice for the gas meter to be changed !!

That's it now published ...I have no escape route ! Off to 'live the values' and put the kettle on for a nice homely, down to earth cup of coffee (practical as cheaper than putting the heating on to warm me up)...at least I'm being honest !
