The fabulousness of Pop Up Shop #3

Friday, March 25th, 2011

We have to say it (even though it’s not very modest…) but last night’s Pop up Shop was THE most beautifully stylish of shops…

The evening aptly named Cocktails & Macaroons and was hosted by 3 of the UK’s leading ladies in style, creativity and fashion Roanna Wells, India Hobson and Yaelle Caplan who brought their respective brands to The Chimney House with indulgent purchasing pleasure in mind. Bringing to Sheffield an edge of European glam mixed with the best of British.

We had a multitude of the good and the great in attendance…and shopaholics everywhere came to peruse and purchase. This is what else we did…

We sipped glorious French Martinis and divine Elderflower Collins’ gracefully and expertly made by the wondrous of cocktail makers and shakers (as well as being rather handsome) The Old House.

We nibbled (some more so than others!) the most dainty of Parisian treats delectable macaroons which literally fell out of every orifice of The Chimney House and into very eager mouths and hands…

We basked the in ambient surrounds…


The bar made us more cocktails…

And admired our very chic guests…

We enjoyed cool future house vibes and tunes – esp Sheffieldien Kathy Diamond…

And admired the new Pop Up Shop neon…

And altogether had a shoppingly fabulous time!

Thanks to all involved…especially the uber talented Roanna Wells, India Hobson and Yaelle Caplan – we LOVED having you at The Chimney House! Plus thanks to all of our guests for coming along and spend spend spending!! Also thanks to 93ft’s Rich for snaps and styles.

The next Pop Up Shop will be Popping up in May… keep very posted for more!

‘Property Oscars’ here we come!!

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

We’re known locally, regionally and nationally for our ‘iconic’ building… glorious red brick free standing ‘house’ with a 93ft chimney soaring high out above Kelham Island. So when we where asked to enter the RICS Awards we jumped straight in.

Known as the region’s ‘Property Oscars’, the awards celebrate the most inspirational regional initiatives and developments in land, property, construction and the environment.

The nominations in each category span a range of companies and projects, from small schemes achieved by the vision of one person to globally recognised developments with significant budgets.

The Chimney House is a finalist in the highly competitive ‘Building Conservation’ category – the entry was complied of a 1,500 word entry – written by LARK and beautifully designed by 93ft.

It’s a Sign of The Chimney House Times

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Great excitement at The Chimney House today with a can of white paint…

The Chimney House Logo, Sheffield Meeting Room

No more will we have lost drivers saying … ooo we didn’t know you were there – and also people walking past the chimney stack saying ooo we didn’t see the chimney…


We admit that we did rather like the secret nature of a seemingly invisible 93ft chimney – but we have succumb to temptation of seeing what the final touches to our brand looks like…

We like!

A lot….

And the sun came out… which means universal approval in our book!

Just in time for The House Party!!
