Home and Hearth- We say BYE to the Beast from the East!

March 06, 2018

What miserable weather we have all been having recently! Whether it was wind, rain or snow- the UK has certainly had a tough time of it.  

Were you out, enjoying a day of sledging on the drifts?

Or did you take the day to relax, preferring to stay warm inside and catch up on some quality TV? 

I think we are all happy to say goodbye to the Beast from the East!
However it does seem that more wind and rain is set to continue across the UK during this week. 

Here at Sheila Maid® we have a selection of products that really make life easier.

 

Whether it is fireside buckets, boot scrapers to door steps - we have it covered! 

Jutland Fireside Dustpan and Brush

Check out our Jutland Fireside Dustpan and Brush- inspired by Scandinavian design, the mix of materials and colours is a lovely update to metal or plastic alternatives. Combining matt black Steel and FSC Beech, the deep pan will leave the fireplace looking spotless.

The matching long handled brush features Nylon bristles, therefore is designed for sweeping cold ash only.

This pair of accessories could be stored beside the fire or hung up using the circular holes in the handles. The striking juxtaposition of colours would work perfectly in both modern and traditional homes, offering customers style and practicality.
Colour: Matt Black. For indoor use only. Comes tied together with string as a set.
 Did you have the fire on during the cold weather? Having a fireside bucket helps keep fireplace surrounds clean and helps prevent little pieces being tracked through the house! 

Fireside Bucket in Coffee Bean

The Fireside Bucket is a versatile and practical product that we think would fit perfectly next to everyone's fireplace.

The carry handle has a wooden grip for ease of use and carrying. The lid also comes with a matching wooden handle to easily remove when in use, and cover when empty or half full. Its versatility means you can fill it with just about anything, from kindling, to coal and more. 
Dimensions: H30.5 x W32 x D30cm. Crafted in Powder Coated Steel.
Please note, the lid is designed to sit loosely on the bucket.
 Is there anything better than the cosy-ness that a real fire brings? Whether it is an outdoor camp fire or a home log burner - the atmosphere they can create is really special.

However at Sheila Maid®, we believe safety should always come first.

Stovies Stove, Burner and Log gloves

These gorgeous yet ever practical gloves will give protection to your hands when chopping wood, collecting logs or when you are refuelling your fire or wood burner!

Keep them on the hearth ready for use. Stoves get very hot and wearing these stovie gloves will allow you to open the door without burning your hands,
Fabricated in Rustic Suede, there can be a variation in appearance as this is a natural product and this is reflected in the finish of the gloves.
These gloves are large, size 10. Manufactured in the UK

 

When it is this cold outside, you really want to make sure that your heat is circulating around your home.
Having doors open so that heat is not trapped in one room alone is a good idea. We have the perfect item for this problem! 

Rustic Chunky Door Stop - Reclaimed Timber

Our rustic chunky door stop is the ultimate door stop, it has the presence, the looks and it does the job! A practical, pleasing door stop.

Weighs in at just over 3 kilos.Made from British Beech. It stands at 30cm in height and is 12cm wide.
The wood varies in colour and look, though be assured, you will not be disappointed with this product!

Fitted with a large rustic metal ring; this helps to move it around. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. A great gift!

One downside to the wetter weather is trying to manoveur taking off long boots. We hate seeing wet footprints and snow dragged through the house! We might have one item that can make the world of difference...

Metal Boot Jack

After long walks customers can be assured even the tightest of wellies can be removed with the Farringdon Boot Jack. Industrial in style, the design features two bobbles at one end and cross wires which provide grip to the underside of the boot.

Metal Boot Jack- Steel

Crafted in Steel with a matt lacquer seal, the metallic grey design reminds us of stag beetle boot jacks yet we've given ours a simplified twist.

Dimensions: H6.5 x W35 x D14.5cm. Crafted in Steel. Welding marks will be visible due to the nature of the material and manufacture

Say goodbye to mess being dragged through the house - sadly we think this little guy might have something to say about that!  
 
With the way the weather has been- we are all firmly hanging onto our winter coats at Sheila Maid®.  They say Spring is around the corner.
This year the 1st day of Spring is set for the 20th March and we all can't wait to say Hello!   

Let us know what you like to do on a snowy day! Were you affected by the Beast from the East?
We would love to know - so find us on facebook or twitter today! 

Speak soon!

Winter is Coming...

October 20, 2017

Winter is Coming...

Winter is swiftly approaching. We can all feel it can't we?! The morning dew is more like frost and there is a tingle in the air that signifies the coming of winter... Nights are getting darker sooner, and mornings are generally a pretty miserable affair... It's also that time of year when hot chocolate sales surge and the hedgehogs get ready to go for a prolonged nap... #Jealous #I-want-to-be-a-hedgehog. 

Winter is coming...

 

But in the home there are certain steps that you can take to ensure you have winter proofed your home. For example, it would be initially wise to get up on the roof and have a look at the guttering. Last thing you need in mid December is a blocked drainage gutter. Get up there sooner rather than later to check for any build ups or blockages prior to the inevitable fall - it really can save you time, money and potential damage. When the ice comes it's only going to be harder to clean up any debris. Furthermore, if the gutters are full of rotting leaves, water can back up against the house, subsequently damaging the roof. This can cause pools of frozen water and may dampen the exterior walls of the house.

It is also advised to disconnect any external hoses or pipes. If the pipes freeze, they may expand as the ice sets, causing burst pipes and potential flooding. Precaution is the best approach, after all as Paul Blart would say  'safety never takes a Holiday'! 

Secondly, if you live in a colder area, or perhaps in an older house, it could be a good idea to assess how air tight your windows and door frames are. If there is a significant gap in the frames, it is advised to reapply exterior caulk. Immune to the elements, silicone caulk is waterproof, shrinking proof and immune to the elements! A wonder of a product that really does help with insulation!

 Do you burn a log fire over winter? Before you get the fire going check that the chimney vents and passages are clear. It may be worthwhile getting in a professional chimney sweep to tackle this. A clear chimney will prevent chimney fires and subsequently carbon monoxide from creeping into your home. 

Lastly, have you considered how you shall dry your clothes this winter? If you do not have one already, the Sheila Maid® clothes airer is the perfect solution to indoor drying, especially when you can't get your washing outside on the line. Instead of cooking your clothes like the electric dryer, the Sheila Maid® allows the user to make use of the naturally rising warm air from within the home. This economic solution is based on the Victorian pulley system, and is a favourite among UK homes! The Sheila Maid® is easy to assemble and provides a stylish edition to the home! The Sheila Maid® can be purchased here!

This concludes our checklist of winter preparations... Hopefully it will be a useful reference point for winter proofing your home! Do you have any tips for winter that you would like to share? Why not comment on our Facebook page!

Sheila Maid ® The Domestic Fairy Godmother

May 10, 2017

As the summer months approach, the indoor dryers can take a sigh of relief as their long and strenuous winter shift is now coming to a conclusion. Soon, households across the UK can expect to dry their laundry outside in the glorious summer sunshine - one problem... that statement is complete fiction and the weather this summer will probably be like last summer... grey, rainy and miserable with unpredictable 'sunny spells'. 

Sheila Maid ® Logo

But fear not, for we showcase to you, The Sheila Maid ® clothes airer. Dispatched from our factory in Angus, the Sheila Maid ® clothes airer is a brand that was established over 40 years ago and today is the most iconic ceiling hanging clothes airer in the world.

In Scotland it is known as a pulley, in England as a creel and in the USA a Sheila Maid. Though terminology may differ - there is one universal language; the Sheila Maid is an economical and reliable airer!

The Sheila Maid ® looks stylish, the brackets come in a variety of colours and there are multiple lengths and sizes to accommodate even the smallest space. You don't need to have a medieval pantry or a laundry room to reap the rewards from one of these! They look quite at home in any modern kitchen, which is surprising considering airing pulleys have been around since the Victorian era - and the concept has hardly changed!

But there are more than one singular use for a Sheila Maid ® airer! With the addition of 'S' hooks, it is possible to hang pans and kitchen utensils. Furthermore, the Sheila Maid could be installed in the garden shed, and used to tie flowers or herbs and hanging baskets as so to keep them safe, elevated from the shed floor. Tools could also be mounted on the rails of the Sheila Maid ® and thus, there is more than just one use for this traditional airer. Sheila Maid ® also stock a variety of spares and replacements such as the newly launched premium jute rope which is longer than the standard rope and is made from natural fibres. Extras can really enhance your ceiling airer and give the user the opportunity to customise the airer to their preferred spec.

But let's not forget the Sheila Maid's core responsibility - and that is to embrace the role of a domestic fairy godmother and to ensure your beloved garments are drying efficiently! By choosing the Sheila Maid ceiling airer you are helping the environment by reducing your carbon footprint, and saving money. No more expensive tumble-drying, and no more 'cooked' clothes. There is nothing worse than buying a new top only for it to be creased and crinkled after the first wash!

Make the most of the space in your home by installing a Sheila Maid ® pulley airer. The ceiling airer hoists your laundry out of the way, (no more awkward floor-standing clothes dryers to trip over) and allows warm air to rise naturally - drying your clothes in 'no time at all'. You will never need to place a damp item on a radiator again - it really is healthier, cheaper and kinder to the environment.

Does the Eco-friendly and efficient Sheila Maid ® sound of value to you and your home? Check out our range of sizes and colours here. This post has been written and created by Sheila Maid ® - the official owner of the iconic Sheila Maid ® ceiling mounted airer. For quality, reliability and assurances, visit Sheila Maid ®.
