Left: Rather than use up previous space with wardrobes, Christine stores her clothes on rails in the bedroom - and the study - and considers them part of the decor. A bookshelf, painted grey, makes a perfect shoe display Right: The needlepoint chair is one of a pair, with the other one in the kitchen. The gold and cream striped curtains were from the antiques yard in Courthouse Street, in Hastings Old Town. Instead of voiles, Christine used extra long fringing from Wayward in St Leonards building means that there are two rooms on each floor, larger rooms to the front, overlooking the old High Street, and smaller rooms to the back, looking out over rear gardens and roofs. Across from the kitchen is what Christine calls the lounge, furnished with a luscious, curvy, Italian suite. Along one wall is a series of black and white Sassy Luke prints, representing literary titles and characters, such as Kafka’s Metamorphosis and The Dog Woman from Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson. The artworks are slightly sinister and work well with the gun-metal grey paintwork, blackened floorboards and the 1920s copy of an antique death mask peering up through the glass of an occasional table. Light floods the room via a huge, curved sash window, helping to keep the demons at bay. Light also shines down from the skylight at the top of the stairs, illuminating the narrow stairwell, which continues on up to the office and bathroom on the next floor. The stairs themselves are bare, dark boards, finished simply with a neutral, jute runner, cut to fit. It’s a no-fuss look, which fits perfectly with this solid Georgian interior. Just as each room in the house serves as its own gallery space, so do the walls of the stairwell... culminating with a huge, blue painting at the top of the stairs. “I call it The Blue Man,” says Christine. “I brought him back from Greece... and it most certainly counted as excess baggage,” she says, before pointing out the blurred image of a skull at the foot of the painting. It’s as if it were commissioned for the space, it fits so perfectly. “I never take ‘stuff’ with me when I move, but I always take my artworks,” says Christine. I’m not sentimental about ‘things’ but I love art.” She admits that everything in her home, at least as far as furniture is concerned, is for sale... except for the chest of drawers in her bedroom and the two cane-backed armchairs in her office. This is truly a magnificent space with a huge glass desk. It’s a piece that ‘shouldn’t’ work in a period home, but 93 wealdentimes.co.uk
