Rose Cottage Boxes – Stunning Decoupaged 'Useful' Boxes
June 28, 2011 by Natalie
When we were at Bubble, the kids fashion trade show last weekend, we spotted a divine car storage box (currently sold out) accessorising the Kind Hearts Clothing stand and immediately demanded to know who was behind them.
Rose Cottage Boxes are the creations of Somerset mum and designer Becks Collette, who is doing a divine turn in handmade decoupaged boxes in a dazzling array of patterns. Working with local crafters, she also has a sustainable ethos from how the wood is sourced to the bleach free papers and using water based sweetshop coloured paints on the interiors. There's floral, retro, kitsch, divine birds and some have a distinct Liberty-esque vibe. With several sizes to choose from, with some having compartments, these are covetable, original pieces.

A quick cuppa with Rebecca Collett from Rose Cottage Boxes

"Hi Becky, tell everyone about what you do"
I make sustainable wooden 'useful' boxes covered in stunningly beautiful patterned tissue papers, skillfully applied by hand using a 17th century french decoupage tecnique. Each box is painted with complimentary colours inside and covered in a deep, glossy varnish. There are 6 different sizes to house things such as sewing kits, crafts, jewellery, make up, stationary, medical kits etc. They are also wonderful for keepsakes, memories, letters and photos for weddings, births and birthdays!
