    My New Shop!!!!

    Just opened it last week! Been a long slog, but finally here....why can't things be easier in life? But as people keep on (and keep on, keep on, keep on) telling me, having to struggle for something makes it worth more....

    Anyway, some of these I'll use on the website (www.cantik.co.uk) and for promo work, so let me know what you think.

    Store front


    My little office nook


    Silk pillows and partition


    Pretty Flowers in Water


    Business card holder


    Pink Orchid


    Balinese Accessories


    Desk chair and picture


    Frame and pillows


    Wooden Sushi Plates


    Arm woven leather couch


    Store length with four poster bed


    Teak side unit


    Back room with rattan boxes


    Leather armchair


    Woven Leather Armchair back


    Copper Door Side Unit


    Brass handle close up


    Silk Throw on rattan screen


    Recylced Sari Bedspread


    Sorry for the number, but I'm just ecstatic to finally be up and running....it's taken us 8 months to get into this place....seemed like an eternity...

    Cheers Funkstar....I'm going to take some more if the sun stays out....going to try to get some coverage with some of the regaional glossies and newspapers, so always worth having really good pics which catch the feel of the place.

    Paul ... To Bolton? Seriously? You have to pay me double.
    But I'm sure I can sort you out a decent discount

    I like the look of it.

    I'll take a look for some draws and maybe some chairs for my conservatory.
    It is Inevitable.....

    Cheers mate. Yeah, I fiddled a bit too much with some of them, but will probably sort it out before I put them on the website...

    Yup, not cheap. You really have to look around to get a good deal with some of this stuff. But saying that, sourcing these things is half the fun, especially places tropical...

    Ooops, you noticed out deliberate mistake! Actually the wooden bit is covering an old glass plate front that used to be there, and we're just waiting to get hold of some dark brown metal plate to cover those two blue blocks on the right and left, and possibly the blue stonework surround.

    Looks top mate, you should be proud

    Just a sidenote, the compression of the images on the menu of your website is a bit high, its caused some "artifacts".

    compression is too high all over - got gifs being used when they don't have to be etc..

    u don't have a terms and conditions for using the site - and a privacy policy (should be in the footer of the site on every page..)

    2 things -
    On your site you need -
    Company Name
    Company Reg Number
    Country Registered in
    Vat No if applicable

    Also, it's invalid code - just - get your designer to fix it!

    well done!
    I think for promo work use your narrow DoF images mainly, the ones focused on details. the ones you've got I reckon would be good to use.
