It’s not always easy to stay up to date on the latest home decor trends while also being mindful of sustainable practices and supporting local businesses. But, when shopping at Bobbie Broon Home, you can do all of that without sacrificing the home of your dreams.
A Peterborough-based e-commerce store owned by Christine Brown, Bobbie Broon Home sells handmade pillows, throw blankets, candles, napkins, towels, soaps, and more to turn your home into a cozy space for the winter. Each item is sustainably made and ethically produced so you can feel good about your home looking great.
“I’ve always loved decorating and found it hard to find sustainable fabrics and products,” Christine explains. “It’s concerning to think about everything that goes into a landfill, so we want to offer products that are designed to last.”
A former training and e-learning consultant, Christine founded the business in 2022 and has enlisted the help of her adult daughters Ceilie and Emma. She says the name Bobbie Broon is a nod to her late father Robert Brown’s nickname and their British heritage. Her parents were always “fixing up” their home with durable, long-lasting pieces. They loved to entertain, and their home was a warm and welcoming hub.
In Christine’s eyes, pillows can change the look and feel of a room. That’s why, at Bobbie Broon Home, customers can find pillows and throw blankets in neutral tones that will suit a minimalistic room, as well as unique statement pieces that bring the fun through bold colours, funky patterns, and eye-catching designs.
Each product is handmade with organic cotton and OekoTex-certified linens, with materials sourced from Canadian businesses. Christine’s daughter Ceilie even designs some of her fabrics, and customers can also order custom pillows.
Bobbie Broon Home also sells Canadian-made soy candles, certified Fair Trade bath products, and alpaca wool beanies that have been certified under the Responsible Alpaca Standard.
The store has launched new pillows and scarves for the winter, as well as organic cotton and velvet eye masks that will be packed in gift bags with matching scrunchies. kawarthaNOW readers looking to stock up on gifts for the holiday season (or looking to treat themselves to new home décor) can get an additional 10 per cent off by using code KNow10 at check-out until December 31, 2024.
