🎄 Dare I say the C-word already?! Nooooo, I mean Christmas! 🎄

We’re getting ourselves organised and making sure all the Christmas stock is ordered and planned ahead… because apparently December has a habit of sneaking up on us! 😂

So we want to know…

Is there anything we had last year that you REALLY want to see back again? 👀

🕯️ More sweary candles?
🚪 More fabulous door decor?
🎁 More quirky retro gifts?
🍪 More cookie jars?
☕ Mugs for all the family?
✨ Or something completely different?

We LOVE finding out what you actually want to see in the shop, so tell us below! 👇

If you spotted something last Christmas and thought “I wish I’d bought that…” — now’s your chance to make your case! 😂

And yes… we promise we won’t judge your Christmas shopping habits. 🎅🏻

Comment below and let us know what you want to see back at Live Like the Boy! ❤️

💡 WHEN YOUR WALLPAPER GETS A SECOND LIFE… 😍

Our friends over at Funky Gifts — the fabulous shop directly opposite us — have just had their house decorated with some gorgeous wallpaper.

And rather than letting the leftovers sit in a cupboard forever, they brought it into the shop and said…

“Can you make us a lampshade?”

Well… obviously! 😂

So now they’ve got a completely bespoke lampshade, made from the same wallpaper as their walls. 🏡💡

This is exactly what we love about our custom lampshade service. Bring us your own fabric or wallpaper and we can turn it into something completely unique for your home.

Because matching your lampshade to your walls is MUCH more fun than buying something beige off a shelf. 😉🌈

And if you fancy having a go yourself, we’ll soon be announcing the date of our next lampshade-making workshop!

So keep your eyes peeled 👀✂️💡

And remember — there’s a whole lot of lovely independent shopping happening right here on Colne High Street. Come and see what your local shops can do!

Live local. Buy local. Make your home a bit more fabulous. ❤️

🌸 YOUR WALL CALLED… IT WANTS MORE DRAMA. 🌸

And frankly, we agree. 😂

Our latest window display is giving BIG floral energy — bold, colourful, stylish and very much on-trend. Because as summer starts to disappear, we’re absolutely NOT accepting a return to dull, boring walls. 🙅‍♀️

This gorgeous design is from Rebel Walls and works as a made-to-measure mural panel, meaning it’s produced specifically for your wall. You get the right scale, only buy what you need and there’s no rolls of leftover wallpaper lurking in the cupboard for the next 17 years. 👏😂

And this is just ONE of THOUSANDS of designs we can supply.

So whether you’re planning a full room makeover, have one wall that’s begging for attention, or simply fancy making your home a little more interesting…

🌈 Come and have a nosey at Live Like the Boy on Colne High Street.

Or send us a message and tell us what you’re thinking about — we LOVE a wallpaper project. 💕

Because life is too short for boring walls.

We don’t do beige or grey. We do colour, pattern and personality. 🌺

I think it’s probably time for another lampshade making workshop, don’t you??If I can find a date in the next 3-4 weeks ...

I think it’s probably time for another lampshade making workshop, don’t you??

🚨 STOP SCROLLING… OUR WINDOW HAS HAD A FLOWER POWER MAKEOVER! 🌸🌺😂

We’ve gone BIG on colour, pattern and floral fabulousness with our latest window display — featuring some seriously gorgeous stylised and abstract floral wallpapers & murals from Rebel Walls.

And because apparently flowers on the walls weren’t quite enough… we’ve thrown in some beautifully enamelled metal trays too. 🌸😉

We LOVE creating our windows. ❤️

Not just because it gives us an excuse to play with colour and pattern (although that is definitely a bonus 😜), but because we want to make people stop as they’re walking down the High Street and think:

“Ooooh… I wonder what’s in there?” 👀

That’s what being an independent interiors shop is all about. Finding the unusual. Discovering something you didn’t know you needed. Helping you create a home that actually feels like YOU.

Because let’s be honest…

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR GREY.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR BORING.
And frankly, WE DON’T DO BEIGE. 😂🌈

So if you’re passing Live Like the Boy, take a peek at the window… then come inside and have a proper rummage. You might just find the thing that makes your room go from “meh” to “OOOH!” ✨

And when you buy from us, you’re helping keep a little independent business on your local High Street doing what we love — creating colourful, characterful interiors and having far too much fun along the way. 🛍️❤️

Shop local. Support independent. And for goodness sake… put some colour in your life! 🌈
