Slowing the pace – with Flori

How much do you love Flori’s (from Squiggle Dot & Squeeze) blogs.. they always make us smile, give us amazing ideas – and this blog is no different.  As many of your know Flori is one of Move Revolution’s Guest Bloggers – her focus at this time of the year is very much family and friends.  She has created a blog with this focus…

Slowing the Pace for a Peaceful Christmas

It is time to slow down cosy up and leave the world outside the front door. We have had weeks of dashing about and endless lists to complete. At every turn something calls for our attention. With this blog post we didn’t want to add to the to do list with craft projects that involve more work for the already stretched parent.

I am also really feeling a need for less is more this Christmas. Less stuff more time. A pause to create space to be grateful and in the moment. All very idyllic but with young children not always possible.

We have created a printable for you, we promise no glue or glitter needed. The first is a Christmas eve/day activity. I read that the tradition of getting out for a walk on Christmas day after an afternoon of indulgence is losing its place on the list of British Christmas traditions, as we opt of tec and t.v  and mud free, over fresh air and wellies. I am clinging on to our walk tradition we don’t go out for long or far but we have a little street wander and yes you guessed it use our Christmas printable to keep the kids engaged. It keeps us all in the moment and distracts us from frozen noses. We promise hot chocolate on our return and savour the feeling of warmth when we get back in doors. Lets keep the Christmas walk tradition alive.

After so much plenty our second printable makes space for some reflection and is great to use between Christmas and new year. We all do it and then read out each others. Its a wonderful keep sake in the children’ s memory boxes, and we love to see what they remember it also makes us chat as a family about our year and we suddenly realises how many blessings we have enjoyed, the trials we have over come and the dreams that lie ahead.  

 

 

All that is left to do is wish you a merry Christmas and we look forward to sharing some Squiggle Dot and Squeeze creative fun with you in 2019. In the mean time if you need some creative inspiration find us on Instagram or Facebook @squiggledotandsqueeze and for us to celebrate your crafty master pieces use #squiggledotandsqueeze

If you are looking for your dream house… just give us a call and chat to us on 0330 223 1000, why not book a valuation at the same time.

Move Revolution Christmas Girls Wish List 2018!

Our Move Revolution Girls’ Wish List was such a huge hit last year we have updated it for 2018… with so many compliments about the different independent businesses, we have added in all their new gifts for 2018 – fantastic for last minute ideas! We originally wanted to create an Ultimate Girls’ Christmas Wish List using all the local knowledge from the girls (and guys) in our Move Revolution offices throughout Surrey, Sussex and Kent! It was decided that our list needed to be ‘local’ either produced by someone local, or stocked by someone local.

As an independent business, we know how much hard work and dedication we invest into delivering the very best possible customer service for our clients….having started with one office in Nutfield, Surrey which covers the Reigate, Redhill, Horley and Oxted area we now have offices throughout Surrey, Sussex and Kent, at Move Revolution we all have a real love for what we do, as do all these local businesses!

This is our 2018 gorgeous sparkly list – get ready to buy all the things for yourself (or share this with your partner with a big hint!!)  

Move Revolution’s Girls Shopping List 2018-

(To read full details on each of the item, and why we love it, see below!)

1.  All about Eve at Home (Reigate)- Dark Amber

2. Willow & Boo (Tunbridge Wells) – The Nutcracker Box

3. Bradshaw & Sons (Sevenoaks) – Sevenoaks Satchel

4. The Gin Kitchen (Dorking) – Artisan Dancing Dragontail or Gutsy Monkey Gin

5. Ivy Florence (Lingfield) – Christmas Flowers

6. Squerry’s (Westerham) – Sparkling Wine

7. Monty Bojangles (Head office – Kenley, Truffle Bar – Reigate) –  Winter Wanderland

8. Gravetye Manor – Amazing Dining Experience

Find out a little bit more about the gorgeous items on our ultimate shopping list 2018!

 (1) The perfect Candle  – All about Eve at Home Dark Amber

These are truly gorgeous candles – and we love the latest edition!

“A hypnotic fragrance of amber and leather on a base of jasmine, smoky spices and a hint of citrus, make this a truly sophisticated seasonal fragrance.

Hand poured in the UK by candle specialists, our candles hold 220gms of wax, burn for approximately 40 hours and burn evenly right down to the bottom of the glass. Our customers love them as they really do hold their strong fragrance right to the very end!!”

All about Eve at Home Dark Amber

(2) The perfect handmade gift – Lollipops!

Do you remember Willow & Boo (recommended by our Royal Tunbridge Wells team) this year, inspired by the film they have created  The Nutcracker box….

A lovely treat box with-

  • Mother Gingers sherbet Jar with a strawberry gold swirl lollipop
  • A lemon snowflake
  • Blackcurrant sugar plum fairy slippers
  • Strawberry nutcracker lollipop
  • and a little gilded sugar mouse.

The Nutcracker Box

 

 (3) The Sevenoaks satchel – Every girl likes to feel unique!

“Inspired by the bags of the 1930’s and 40’s, when artistry was paramount, the Sevenoaks Satchel is a respectful nod to history, a new classic for a changed world. Designed with versatility in mind it can be worn on the shoulder, hands-free across the body or brief-case style using the top handle. The Sevenoaks satchel features a generously proportioned duel moulded body, single buckle brass closure and detachable internal pocket. Streamlined and minimalist but imbued with character, this unique Satchel is your new style must-have”

(4) GIN GIN  GIN ! (Need we say more!)

A few of us had the pleasure of visiting the Gin Kitchen this summer – it was truly amazing, they have launched a new gin – they are feeling in the pink this time!

“As our NEW Blushing Monkey Pink Gin hit the shelves of Fortnum and Mason in September 2018 for our fourth Spirit of the Month. Our latest addition is our unique interpretation of the pink gin revolution – our amethyst portal to the divine! We’ve created a juniper-led but gorgeously floral gin with a delightful sweet (but not too sweet) fruity twist by macerating our mischievous Gutsy Monkey with a bashful cluster of sweet black grapes! With the addition of tonic, the initially translucent Blushing Monkey transforms into a pearlescent pink elixir. Our favourite serve is to add the tonic first so the gin forms a candifloss-coloured cloud.”. http://gin.kitchen

(5) The gift of flowers – discover Ivy Florence!

The secret florist is tucked away in Lingfield Village – Ivy Florence in Lingfield is a treat to visit at the this time of year! With attention to detail you really will be thrilled, and importantly so will the lucky recipient!

Wonderful flower gifts 

(6) Pop the cork! Who can resist a glass of bubbles!

“Vintage sparkling wine that reflects the amazing spirit, rich heritage and the beautiful terroir of our North Downs Estate”

With a gorgeous selection of sparkling wines… and wonderful experiences based at the vineyard – this really is a wonderful way to toast Christmas morning!

 

Wonderful bubbles

7)  Monty Bojangles – Truffles!

Monty Bojangles is a huge favourite of Louise Simpson’s, our Head Office Area Sales Manager. This year they have a ‘Winter Wonderland’ selection.. perfect for any Christmas Stocking!!  Either buy online or at The Reigate Truffle Bar which is a great place to visit for Christmas shopping (and amazing hot chocolate)

 

8) An amazing dinner! 

We have been hearing wonderful things about Gravetye Manor… just take a look at the beautiful setting and incredible menus! (you will be very tempted!)

“Prepare to be delighted by our magnificent Michelin Star meals. Our immensely talented head chef, George Blogg takes the freshest ingredients from our Kitchen Garden and transforms them into a culinary masterpiece. If it’s not in season, it’s not on the menu”

Sutton – 16 parks, great food and brilliant transport links & Mallory House!

(Gorgeous 1 & 2 bedroom apartments available for viewing now… book an appointment today, just call 020 8819 3272)

We always get a great response when we share snippets of information about our favourite places.  It’s easy to share ‘hidden gems’ when it comes to cute villages throughout Surrey, Sussex and Kent – however, we all agreed it can be easy to over look the more ‘urban’, busy towns, which we think we know well and have possibly not considered visiting, or choosing as somewhere to live! With this in mind we asked our residence ‘foodie’ Ryan Milson to share his love of ‘all things’ Sutton!

“Considering that I am looking to buy a property in Sutton next year…and that I have lived in Sutton most of my life, it wasn’t a surprise that I was asked to share why I’ve grown rather fond of the area!  Sutton is one of London’s greenest boroughs and I spent most of my childhood exploring Sutton’s many local woods and playing fields. In fact, Sutton has 607 hectares of green space and 16 parks; That’s a lot of exploring!

Royston Park and Rosehill Park are where I spent most of time playing football for The Royals. Looking back, I always knew that I would never be good enough to pursue football as a career option, but I have always loved playing football since being a child and still play every Tuesday night (I like to think of myself as a rare left footed winger who’d be useful in any low standard football team!)

I also attended local schools; Muschamp Primary School, Muschamp Road in Carshalton and for Secondary, Greenshaw High School, Grennell Road.  This is where I met a lot of my close friends. We often joke about how we’d love to go back for a day. Once I had finished my final year at Greenshaw I decided to stay on and study for my A-levels and the school’s successful Sixth Form. After studying for another year and achieving my As-level, I decided to continue my education at Carshalton Girls (mixed) Sixth Form. This was a new and exciting challenge where I met many more close friends and more importantly, my girlfriend Nicole. Myself and Nicole were in the same class studying Film. Rumour has it that she only picked the class to introduce herself to me; A decision I’m sure she regrets to this day!

After leaving school I got a job on the High Street working at a well-known retail store. I would often pop out for a coffee (Caramel Macchiato to be specific!) at Starbucks and pop into the many shops and cafes on the high street.

I no longer work in the heart of Sutton and love working in our Move Revolution Purley Office at the incredible Airport House, Purley Way, but still enjoy many of Sutton’s places of interest including local restaurants and bars. I’m often referred to, by everyone in the team as a ‘foodie’. This is due to my significant love of food and I could talk for hours about my much-loved meals and restaurants.

My favourite lunchtime spot is The Mad Coffer Bar, known locally as ‘The Portuguese Café’. It’s the perfect spot for fresh, homemade sandwiches and baguettes which you can enjoy whilst sat on their outside terrace.

If dinner is more your thing, head to The Spaghetti Tree, a popular Italian Restaurant situated just a short walk from Sutton Station. The King prawn and chorizo tagliatelle is my personal recommendation!

If you’d rather enjoy Sutton’s evening and nightlife, pay a visit to All Bar One located on the High Street, its contemporary décor and fancy cocktails appeals to the local professionals who wish to unwind at the weekend. Alternatively, I head to The Old Bank, a pub next to Sutton Station; It’s perfect for meetings friends before we head into London for a night out or out out.

For the commuter, Sutton offers a direct service into London from its Sutton, West Sutton and Sutton Common train stations. At Move Revolution we deal with a lot of local buyers who love the balance between Sutton’s semi-rural lifestyle but commutability into London for work.

Years later, I no longer live in Sutton but I am planning to buy my first home later this year with Nicole; we’d love to be able to return to where we first met and grew up together. If you spot me in a local bar or restaurant, come over and say hi! I will tell you more about my love for Sutton’s local food spots!”

I smiled when I read Ryan’s blog – it’s certainly all things football (in the parks) and food .. but not shopping – and Sutton has brilliant shopping either at Time Square Shopping Centre (TK MAXX followed by a Starbucks Frappacino – who can resist!) or St Nicholas Shopping Centre… what a list to tempt you to pop to Sutton!

Have we temped you to visit Sutton for shopping, a meal or perhaps to visit one of the 16 parks?! Our Move Revolution Purley, Croydon office manage property sales and lettings for Sutton and the surrounding area.  Just give Ryan or Paul Mulligan a call on 020 8819 3272 to find out about gorgeous houses we have for sale in the area.  We will let you into a little secret that we will be launching a collection of new flats just a short stroll from Rosehill Park, and a short stroll to the the train station and high street.  If you would particularly love to buy a ‘new build’ this is the perfect opportunity to ‘snap up’ a wonderful new flat (these properties will all have HELP TO BUY) as an added bonus!

Geometrics : A timeless trend

Introducing our new guest blogger, Charlotte Waters from West One Bathrooms

We are delighted to welcome a new guest blogger to the Move Revolution ‘blogging family’, Charlotte Waters, Marketing & PR Manager for West One Bathrooms.  West One Bathrooms have been serving up luxury since the 70’s and have long been regarded as Europe’s most illustrious and innovative supplier of bespoke bathrooms. West One Bathrooms provide outstanding design and guidance for the most sumptuous bathrooms worldwide, offering exclusive access to the widest realm of leading bathroom manufacturers. Charlotte will be sharing with us design ideas, trends and key innovations… we are thrilled to share her first blog.

GEOMETRICS: A TIMELESS TREND

When we think of geometrics, it is often associated with hard faceted edges and bold bright patterns. Geometrics don’t solely present themselves through bold prints, it is a trend that can be seen throughout history; The Ancient Greeks used bold geometric patterns as part of their interior and architectural design. Geometrics create shade and light, they play with eye and refract light at different angles. Throughout the 1900’s angular structures and patterns were presented in different forms as the design styles adapted and changed. Most commonly in interiors, geometric patterns are used all over the floor, or on a feature wall to focus the eye and draw attention to a specific part of the room. For a subtle affect, use one solid colour and let the pattern do the talking.

The beauty of geometric tiles is that it is suitable for all clients and bathrooms. “You can choose to go bold and combine the geometric print with striking contrasting colours to achieve a real wow factor”, advises Kaitlin Reading at West One Bathrooms Ann Sacks

Kelly Hoppen’s Bijoux collection for apaiser, available in crisp white or stealth like greys, is crafted from apaiser marble which is a luxurious high performance marble that is silky smooth, non-porous and warm to touch with unique heat retaining properties. Exclusively available in the UK at West One Bathrooms, the collection draws inspiration from the faceted characteristics typical of the Geometric design. The exteriors of the collection play with light and shadow, creating a dynamic surface resulting in a visual masterpiece.

You don’t need much of this trend to make a big statement. Opting to wallpaper a small wall in a bathroom will add dimension to any design without it being overwhelming. It is quick and easy to install and also suitable for use within the shower for a truly unique look.
