Celebrating our Fantastic Mums

Today, Fantastic Furniture celebrates some of our wonderful mums who make our business so successful. The mums who may not know how appreciated they are, we are speaking with each of of them to find out what they really want this Mother’s Day which is more exciting than a box of chocolates!  

 

Meet Cristine!

Retail Business Leader

 

  • Who are you a mum to?

My children are Ben 30, Jack 24 and Olivia 21.

  • What would you like from Fantastic Furniture this Mother’s Day?

What I would like from Fantastic Furniture this Mother’s Day is a Phoenix Make Up Mirror and some cookies.

  • What piece of furniture do you associate with your mum and why?  

Even though my mother passed some years ago I would associate her with a Storage Ottoman as she liked to knit and would store her knitting in there and be able to sit back and relax whilst knitting and watching TV.

  • What do you want your kids to start or stop doing this Mother’s Day?  

There is nothing that I would like my children to start or stop doing but to continue to love me and make me proud like they do each and every day.

 

Meet Frances!

Assistant Brand Manager

 

  • Who are you a mum to?

Florence, 5 and our second baby on the way!

  • What would you like from Fantastic Furniture this Mother’s Day?

I’d like the Retro 6 Seater Dining Table. I love the clean aesthetics of a retro style.

  • What piece of furniture do you associate with your mum and why?  

The Piper Rug, she’s obsessed with rugs at the moment and they’re an easy and inexpensive way to update your space!

  • What do you want your kids to start or stop doing this Mother’s Day?  

A sleep in and pancakes in bed (with the help of dad *wink wink*)

** Since this article was written, Frances has welcomed baby number 2. Both are doing well.

Meet Mandy!

People and Change Business Partner

 

  • Who are you a mum to?

I’m a proud mum to two pre-school littlies – Aurora aged 4 and Titus aged 2.

  • What would you like from Fantastic Furniture this Mother’s Day?

I’d love a comfy armchair to relax and put my feet up at the end of a busy day – I’m looking at you Maggie Plush and Wingman Ottoman!

  • What piece of furniture do you associate with your mum and why?

When I think of mum I picture her in the Rhodes Outdoor Carver Dining Chair. After my siblings and I left home I often see her sitting outside enjoying the sunshine & watching her grandchildren play in the garden.

  • What do you want your kids to start or stop doing this Mother’s Day?

I love cuddling up with my babies in the evening, but it would be nice if they’d start sleeping in their own beds regularly for the whole night. I often wake up in the mornings wedged between two little bodies. As sweet as it is, it’d be nice to sleep through the night without having my pillows stolen.

 

Meet Agnes!

Cushion Manufacturing Team at Liverpool

 

  • Who are you a mum to?

Two children, Olivia 16, and Nathan 12.

  • What would you like from Fantastic Furniture this Mother’s Day?

I’d love to get a good night’s sleep – it would be amazing to be gifted the Tiffany Queen Bed with the Sleeptight Queen Mattress.

  • What piece of furniture do you associate with your mum and why?  

When I see a lounge like the Hampton 3 Seater Sofa I think of my mum and the time we enjoyed on the lounge together.

  • What do you want your kids to start or stop doing this Mother’s Day?  

This Mother’s Day I want my children to start to use technology less and spend more time outside.

 

Meet Katt!

Digital Merchandising & UX Manager

 

  • Who are you a mum to? 

Cooper the Cavoodle!

  • What would you like from Fantastic Furniture this Mother’s Day? 

The new Aura Mirror. I love the shape and it’s really versatile within my home.

  • What piece of furniture do you associate with your mum and why?

The Lennon 3 Seater Sofa. We had a similar sofa growing up, which being the centre of the home has a lot of memories plus many many cuddles from my mumma bear on it!

  • What do you want your puppy to start or stop doing this Mother’s Day?

I would love it if Cooper was to stop waking us up at 4am for breakfast. He’s also a bit of a sock thief so if he was to stop that, that would also be great!
