Look around your house, what does it say about you? What tales could it tell about the way you live. Look at the furniture and think about its history. Did you save all your pennies to buy it, was it a wedding gift or was it handed down to you? How does that history make you feel, what&#8217;s so special to you about that piece of furniture or corner of your home?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Everything we make is designed to slip effortlessly into a lived-in home, playing a starring role in these everyday stories.

Visiting Nan\u2019s house was a regular thing and we all knew our way around the kitchen. Most importantly we all knew exactly where she kept the treats. They were tucked away in the furthest drawer to the right and \u2018hidden\u2019 inside a vintage tin that she\u2019d had for years. It was never empty. She allowed us to pick one treat each if we\u2019d gone there after school, which meant we went there after school as much as possible! Since then I\u2019ve always had an affection for a dresser, all those drawers, compartments and little nooks and crannies. There are dozens of \u00a0&#8216;treat hiding&#8217; places in the dressers we sell and that makes me very happy!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/hallway-furniture\/shoe-storage-bench\/bourton-large-ivory-bench\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2753 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=563%2C849&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture\" width=\"563\" height=\"849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?w=679&amp;ssl=1 679w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=110%2C166&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=300%2C452&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=380%2C573&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=220%2C332&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=600%2C905&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=398%2C600&amp;ssl=1 398w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=768%2C1157&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=200%2C301&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=255%2C384&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=550%2C829&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pew-monks-bench-hallway-furniture-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=800%2C1206&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI have a vintage pew at home, I rescued it from a skip years ago. One of the local churches had been bought and was being converted into accommodation. Every time I sit on it I wonder how many people have used it before me and who created the marks and scratches that cover its wooden surface, it fascinates me. It\u2019s where I sit every day before leaving the house. My morning ritual involves perching on the bench tying my shoe laces, checking my handbag for my phone and purse and then setting off. It\u2019s just become an integral part of everyday life. We&#8217;ve used a similar shape for our Bourton painted bench, though the Cotswold Co version has some clever hidden storage under the seat&#8230;which I kind of wish mine had!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/nest-of-tables\/portobello-painted-nest-with-drawers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2752 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=596%2C802&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture\" width=\"596\" height=\"802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?w=761&amp;ssl=1 761w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=223%2C300&amp;ssl=1 223w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=110%2C148&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=300%2C404&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=380%2C511&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=220%2C296&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=600%2C807&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=446%2C600&amp;ssl=1 446w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=768%2C1034&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=200%2C269&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=255%2C343&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=550%2C740&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nest-of-tables-painted-furniture-living-room-furniture.jpg?resize=800%2C1077&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u201cMum had a beautiful chair that she\u2019s since given to me.

She\u2019d finished her chores and she was having a bit of time for herself.

I grew up with 2 older sisters and we would often play hide and seek. We lived in a Victorian townhouse and the steps were worn from years of wear and tear. The bottom step, in particular, was important to us because that was \u2018the counting step\u2019. You had to sit there with your hands over your eyes and count to 50, those were the rules. Like any stairs, ours were used so frequently that the paint in the middle of the step was entirely worn off, so that\u2019s obviously where I\u00a0parked my bottom while I counted! Whenever I enter a Victorian house like that, I always have an affection for the bottom step, it always reminds me of happy days\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/dining-room-furniture\/dining-sets\/florence-grey-90-180cm-ext-table-and-4-chairs\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2747 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=1000%2C698&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture\" width=\"1000\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=768%2C536&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=110%2C77&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=200%2C140&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=380%2C265&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=800%2C558&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=220%2C154&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=400%2C280&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=600%2C419&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=760%2C530&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=255%2C178&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/dining-room-dinner-sunday-lunch-family-painted-furniture.jpg?resize=550%2C384&amp;ssl=1 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI suppose the family dining table has always been the most important piece of furniture in our house. My parents weren\u2019t too strict about eating around it during the week, as we all came and went at different times, but on Sunday they were pretty insistent! They liked us all to be sat around the table by 2pm ready for a Sunday roast or a feast of some description. We always made sure we were there, no matter what we had planned that day. Now that I have a family of my own, I do exactly the same thing. I\u2019m determined that we keep the tradition alive. Some of my happiest family moments have been while we were gathered there around the table. Sharing a satisfying meal, catching up on the week that\u2019s passed and what\u2019s happening in the weeks ahead. Our dining table has come to sort of symbolise family to me. A sense of unity\u2026I guess you can\u2019t really get more special than that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2375 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=643%2C643&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hidden storage, clever storage, white furniture, kids room, childrens room\" width=\"643\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=80%2C80&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=110%2C110&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=380%2C380&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=160%2C160&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=220%2C220&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=760%2C760&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=255%2C255&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hidden-storage-clever-storage-white-furniture-kids-room-childrens-room.jpg?resize=550%2C550&amp;ssl=1 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So our team has shared some of their stories, what about yours?\u00a0What pieces of furniture make you smile with the memories?\u00a0Where do you keep the bedtime story books?
