Hello

Our loyal customers keep telling me they didn't know about our re-paint service so I just wanted to say that if you have our Dragons hand made furniture & hand-painted furnture we can re-paint it and give your whole room a new lease of life. We have done a lot of it recently and it is eco-friendly, economic and with a new design hand-painted on it it looks beautiful & brand new, so please don't forget to use the service. and it is half the price of buying our pieces new! 

If you have some pieces that you are interested in being revamped, email us at sales@dragonsofwaltonstreet.com.

Orders of this luxurious Georgian dolls' house from Knightsbridge children's emporium Dragons of Walton Street are literally going through the roof with parents tasking the store's interior designers with providing that unique finish.

Complete with electricity, bespoke furnishings and sumptuous fabrics, it's no wonder this fairytale mansion is fast becoming a best-seller.

Dragons MD Lucinda Croft said the orders were coming in thick and fast.

"A dolls' house sums up the magic and innocence of childhood," said the mum of two. "It encourages children to use their imagination and allows parents to get carried away in the nostalgia."

But the stakes are being raised with increasing numbers of customers asking for each house to be tailor-made.

Lucinda adds: "We have designed bedrooms and nurseries for a whole host of celebrities and international royalty, including Princes William and Harry. It is the attention to detail that clients love, for example, one child loved animals, so we made a conservatory of animals for her including real hay for the ‘pretend' rabbit. Another little girl loved cheese, so we sourced beautiful miniature cheese for her kitchen. I could go on but I am busy planning a stable and a mini shop too!

"Our order book is growing by the week and we are delighted with its success."

Dragons of Walton Street produces the finest hand-painted furniture in the world, with stores in London and Moscow and a further outlet planned to open in Dubai at the end of the year.

Our showroom is located in one of Londons most exclusive retail areas. Walton Street is just a couple of streets away from the famous Harrods Department Store in Knightsbridge. The nearest tubes are located at Knightsbridge and South Kensington.

At our showroom you'll find many examples of our hand-painted children's furniture, kids furniture, desks, cots, children's beds and children's tables. All available in a range of artworks - Beatrix Potter Classic, Beatrix Potter Toile Pink, Beatrix Potter Toile Blue, Barbara's Bunnies, Teddy's Picnic, Timeless Toys, Terry's Guardsmen, Woodland Animals, Roses and Ribbons, Flower Fairies and Geared for Boys.

You'll also see plenty of matching accessories and the full range of fabrics and wallpapers designed in conjunction with Colefax and Fowler.

The showroom is home to our team of Interior Designers who are able to make your ideas come to life - they can design and create many rooms from nurseries to bedrooms.

Last week we were so very excited about meeting Andy Grey, who is the head Winnie the Pooh artist for Disney. He has been working on Winnie the Pooh for 13 years!!!

Andy came to meet one of our senior artist's, Terry Skinner to discuss how to draw him so he is true to Shepherd's original designs. Did you know Shepherd was asked to colour Disney's Winnie the Pooh by his publishers when he was 90 years old, which is why the palette is so simple.

At Dragons of Walton Street we are hoping to have Winnie the Pooh back in our portfolio by the summer, so will keep you posted!!! We used to have the license about 10 years ago before Disney bought the rights to Winnie the Pooh. We are hoping to welcome him back into the Dragons of Walton Street family along with our other resident hereos Paddington Bear, Peter Rabbit and friends and of course the Flower Fairies.

Finally today we will have Paddington Bear in our Walton Street showroom which will be so exciting! He will be on one of our Oliver beds, chest of drawers and table and chairs in all his glory, with his Marmalade sandwiches, wellington boots and his intrinsic Britishness!

Feel free to pop in to the showroom and meet him!

Finally a ray of sunshine to brighten us all up. I hope it inspires us to freshen up our children's rooms.

In the showroom, we have a new mural that is tromp l'oeil and looks like a window opening onto the countryside.

It is such a beautiful addition to any room, particularly for those people dreaming of living in the countryside.
