East Sussex, UK: Home Store, a store in the old and the restaurant Kitchen Home Store, in Hastings

Posted on August 10, 2012 | Leave a comment

If you are found of the “it was better before” trend, you will enjoy Home Store. Opened since January 2012 in Hastings, on several floors, this store will delight the regressive urbans, with old design furniture, lamps, dishes and many other usual and unusual objects (not vintage thanks! Pictures 1 & 2). A world dedicated to fans of Merci (in Paris), or A Vida Portuguesa (in Lisbon). The opening day of  Store Home Kitchen, the restaurant of the store, I quickly met the chef Alastair Hendy which is also the owner of the store. He has been photographer for 20 years and a food photographer and stylist for twelve years (pictures 3 & 4).

Home Store & Home Store Kitchen : 36 High Street, Hastings TN34 3ER. Daily open.

Hastings, UK: The Swan House

Posted on August 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

An Alternative To The Excellent Hastings House 

In the heart of historic Hastings, the Swan House is a boho chic Bed & Breakfast in a house from 1490 (last picture).

A contemporary decor that mixes wood and shells: you feel like in a cocoon. The low ceilings, fireplace in the living room, maze of stairs and small terrace (picture 1) make me think of a doll house.

A place to stay for a charming and comfort weekend during winter time. Pictures below: the Artisan room.

East Sussex, UK: Myerscough & Mairs, The Sophisticated Vintage Shop in Hastings

Posted on August 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

In Hastings, I selected two shops and one tea room I really liked. The first is: Myerscough & Mairs, a tiny shop  that mixes ancient and modern. A lovely selection of eclectic pieces (like violins) presented in a simple and refined way . The Boho chic with an orientalism touch, made me travel in time. Congratuls to the owners for their impeccable taste! The real pleasant surprise in a small city with too much vintage stores (I was about to make an overdose, I am not a big a vintage fan!).

Myerscough & Mairs : Antique + Modern, 52 High Street, Hastings tn43 3en, Phone: 01424 438695.
