We’re super excited to launch our own Amazon Store today. Yup, you heard that right… and isn’t that exciting?!

I got an email a few months back from Amazon explaining the Amazon Influencer Program. I went through it, didn’t think it was relevant to me and forgot about it.

A couple of weeks back I happened to see that email again, and this time it got me thinking. When I share photographs of interior spaces and projects on social media I am very often asked where I got that sofa, that cushion cover or that wallpaper from. When we do project reveals on the blog we often link the items we’ve used that are available online. We’ve always shared information about where we’ve sourced our products from.

Wouldn’t having our own Amazon Store be an extension of the same thing?

Launching Our Amazon Store!

So we very proudly, launch our own Amazon Store today. While we can list everything and more that is available on Amazon in our store we won’t be doing that. The idea will remain the same. We only list products that we have used ourselves and are happy to have used. I might have used it personally, or for a client in one of our projects, or gifted it to a friend. But every item listed in that store, I have seen for myself.

Now, just like most of you, I do shop a lot on Amazon. It could be chew sticks for our dog or eco-friendly dust bin liners for the kitchen… a LOT of stuff in our home comes from Amazon.

But that’s not what’s going to be listed on our store. Like this blog, our Amazon store will be all about decor… and a ‘Little Bit of Me‘. It could be a book I’m reading, since I do a lot of reading on my Kindle, or something I use at work. Mostly, it’s anything we’ve used to up our own decor game.

For ease of navigation, we’ve divided the store into sections. Let me take you through them, one at a time.

(1) For The Love Of Decor:

This section, as the name suggests, is all about decor. Remember these strings of marigold I used to decorate during Diwali?

Or these pretty Moroccan Lanterns I’ve used in various ways during the festive season.

I sourced these from Amazon, and you can find them at our store.

And do you remember our Diwali tablescape this year? The artificial rose garland draped along the centre, and the little rose confetti scattered along the table are both from Amazon, and listed in the decor section of our store.

I use that thick bunch of greens often as a filler for flower arrangements.

(2) Furnishings:

This section includes, among other things, the tons of cushion fillers we always need. These gorgeous, round suzani cushion covers you’ve seen in my balcony… where do you think I got the round filler? (For that matter, I also got all those suzani cushion covers on Amazon… but they aren’t available any more!)

When we got these cane chairs, we realised that even though they looked great, they needed some cushioning to be comfortable. We found these chair pads on Amazon and we can now sit on them for hours without a problem.

And very recently, you saw these kantha cushion covers in my studio. All these are now listed on our Amazon store.

(3) Balcony & Garden:

You already know how much I love our little balcony garden. We’ve got a lot of our essentials for it from Amazon, and they are listed in our Balcony & Garden section. This includes the pots hanging from the ceiling, the red railing planters we’ve used on those wall shelves and the plastic pots that hold the plants on the floor.

(4) Kitchen & Bar:

Table and serve ware make a big difference to your entire entertaining experience. A lot of table ware I select is simple and neutral which makes it easy to style into different tablescapes.

These white dinner plates for instance. I wanted a white set to go with everything, yet plain white looked too clinical. I loved the scalloped edges of these.

And see how beautifully the can be used even with a set of completely different quarter plates.

Also listed here are the blue Corelle dinner and quarter plates and glasses and bowls we use regularly. I chose the former because they are almost unbreakable, and the latter because they are easily available, so can be replaced if they do break!

(5) While I Work:

While this section isn’t strictly decor, I do tend to find pretty things to surround myself with. For example, I will usually spend half an hour looking for just the right mouse pad when I need one.

I think my daughter takes after me, because she insisted on highlighters that looked like more than just that. And I love that visiting card holder every time I look at it.

(6) Books I’ve Loved Reading:

This section is a little bit about me. There was a time I would read a book a week… a good book in 2 days, maybe. It’s been years since I have been able to do that. Now I mostly read books on flights. Which means it takes me about 2 vacations to finish one book. That’s a terrible read-rate. But however slow it might be, I do still enjoy reading.

And so I couldn’t resist adding the Books I’ve Loved Reading to our Amazon store. Maybe this will encourage me to read more often?

.

So to begin with, these are the 6 sections we have on our Amazon store. I hope you’ve enjoyed the little guided tour through them. You must have noticed, that we only have a handful of products listed right now. That’s because we haven’t listed products simply because we like how they look in the store, but only those we have bought and seen for ourselves.

The disadvantage of that is that there will not be a 100 new products listed on our store over the next one month. The advantage is that every time a product is listed, you know we’ve seen it for ourselves.

So don’t miss out when we do add a new product. An easy way to keep track is to follow us. Just click here to go to our Amazon storefront and click on the ‘Follow’ button circled below.

Since this is new to us, I would love for you to browse our store and come back with any suggestions you might have as to how we can improve it. Please put in all and any ideas in the comments below.

I look forward to bringing your our favourite Amazon finds regularly!
