Left: A red Anglepoise lamp sits on top of a chest made from card index drawers that Stuart and Sarah found in Hastings Old Town. They have collected the swans from boot fairs and vintage shops over several years. The pendant light is from Dyke & Dean. The ‘Wild Banana Club’ print is by their friend Ben Allen Below: The framed Bang! poster in the master bedroom is a limited edition print by pop artist William Blanchard that are destined for London, Ibiza or even further away, originate here, in this wooden studio in our garden. “I specialise in commercial projects - and I think all my clients have actually become my friends - because houses are just too personal.” Back in the main house we pause in the family study. Again, it has a kind of industrial glamour, with another arc lamp and a black upright piano. There is a metal desk that looks as if it once did service in a factory or workshop, and a collection of 1940s bevelled mirrors on the wall. Above the desk, an illuminated sign spells out WOLF. Up the stairs and on the half-landing a large photograph in a battered gilt frame has been propped up to meet the visitor as they ascend. It’s a late Victorian studio portrait of a young child in a dark velvet dress and lace collar and is a particularly arresting image because of the girl’s very direct stare and the strong impression it gives that whoever she was, (she’s no relation) she was extraordinarily self-possessed. At the top of the stairs is a painted wooden sign saying ‘Lucky’ and I’m beginning to wonder whether all the words that can be found throughout the house are significant. We turn into the first guest room, and find many more, (some unprintable) because the lids of old wooden school desks complete with all that childish and adolescent graffiti have been used as art and mounted on the wall. In the main bedroom, the scheme is pared back, with wooden boards on the floor and a kilim rug at the foot of the bed. A chest made from card index drawers found in a shop in Hastings Old Town stands next to the bed, and on the wall opposite is the word Bang! – a limited edition print of a renowned black, white and red artwork by pop-artist, William Blanchard. The second guest room has a handsome iron bedstead, but it is also used as a dressing room, and has a pair of vintage walnut wardrobes and an Art Deco dressing table with a strong Japanese influence. Its huge curved triptych mirror seems shaped like the sort of clouds you see in some Japanese paintings. On the landing on the top floor of the house stands a vintage metal ‘firefighter’ pedal car in pillar-box red. Here the couple’s children can enjoy a whole storey to themselves, with a smart bathroom and two very individualistic bedrooms. In their daughter’s room, Stuart has just finished putting together a new bed, while his daughter coated an alcove wall in blackboard paint, so she can use it for doodling and as an aide-memoire for schoolwork and events to remember. There is a desk at the other end of the room, and above it a group of cranberry glass vases have been turned upside 57 wealdentimes.co.uk
