Getting distressed for less

OUT Of The Blue Interiors (01-8455596/01-2988866) is an independent interiors store run by Shirley O’Donohue with shops at 2 Bissetts Loft, Strand Street, Malahide, Co Dublin and in Dundrum Town Centre.

The latter opened late last year and is a treasure trove of hand-painted furniture including a 5ft long solid oak distressed-top console table, below, reduced by 50 per cent from €600 to €300. Both shops are also offering 20 per cent off fabric and curtain-making until the end of February. And there's 10 per cent off all new home accessories to Bargain Hunter readers who present a copy of today's Irish Times.
