Alpine themed home interiors and luxury lifestyle products, think chalet chic.. WWW.ALPINELIFESTYLEBOUTIQUE.COM 2 CRESCENT COURT, ILKLEY, LS29 8DE TELEPHONE: 01943 602633 WE BELIEVE in creating homes that everyone will want to come back to The right sofa and footstool beckon the entire family to sit down together. The right kitchen can encourage more people to give a helping hand with supper. The right dining table, chairs and setting, might even tempt those who have flown the nest to return home for Sunday lunches, for get-togethers, and for lazy summer barbecues. neptune.com Concepts, 8 Market Street, Rye, TN31 7LA Neptune Tonbridge, 1-2 Tannery Road, TN9 1RF AlpineLifestyleBoutiqueWT184.indd 1 23/05/2017 ConceptsWT184.indd 14:34 1 17/05/2017 16:47 Photo courtesy of www.goodnestone.com Rectory Interiors FABRIC & WALLPAPER SHOWROOM www.rectoryinteriors.co.uk The Old Forge 24 Wish Street Tuesday - Friday 9.30 - 16.00 Rye TN31 7DA 01797 222511 Saturday 10.00 - 16.00 wealdentimes.co.uk 90 GrahamClarkeWT184.indd 1 17/05/2017 RectoryInteriorsWT182.indd 16:49 1 13/03/2017 16:23
Above: The front bedroom of the upstairs flat is very light and feminine, with a white fireplace and over mantle mirror, a lovely old brass bed and a temptingly squashy armchair Susie bought the flat from Andy and Christine Cowle, of the well-known Bexhill antiques emporium Eras of Style. “I was so lucky,” says Susie, “because it was already impeccably decorated by Andy and Christine and I was able to buy some of the furniture from them, so it was all there waiting for us.” While that flat was very much bought to be a seaside escape for Susie and her daughter, that little girl is now a teenager and more interested in spending her weekends at home, where her school friends are, than eating ice creams on the beach. So it was another stroke of luck when, two and a half years ago, just as Susie was starting to rent the flat out on holidaylettings.co.uk and Airbnb – managed by her friend Sarah Thompson – the one below came on the market. Susie could immediately see the potential for letting them both out – either separately, or together for one larger party, joined by those quirky stairs. Big sister Caroline, a north London-based garden designer, immediately saw the potential – and was excited about the prospect of refurbishing it as a joint project, which was a good thing, considering the state it was in… “It was filthy… in a terrible state,” says Susie. “We gutted it and put in a new kitchen and bathroom and stripped the doors and floors to freshen it.” “We really wanted to please ourselves,” adds Caroline. “To make something completely from scratch with a contemporary/vintage feel.” Looking around the airy room, painted a beautiful pale sea blue and drenched in that special seaside light, it’s easy to imagine what a haven it would be for a stressed city dweller, sorely needing a break – which was exactly their aim. “We wanted to keep it simple so every piece in here had to earn its place,” says Caroline. “We didn’t want it to be cluttered, because that’s not relaxing.” Even the sofa, from SofasWorld, was chosen with relaxing holiday makers in mind. “We wanted something really big,” says Caroline, “for people to lie on and read a book.” While that sofa is from a big online company, the vast majority of the furnishings in both flats were sourced close to home – whether that is home defined as within walking distance of the St Leonards flats, favourite emporia near their London houses, or legacies from their parents’ and grandparents’ family homes. A quick glance round the sitting room tells the story. The glass side table is from The Kula, the fish print from the yard in Courthouse Street and the light fitting from Nelson Antiques, all in Hastings Old Town. The glasses on the table are from Eras of Style, the wall sconces from an antique shop on Norman Road and the seagull artwork from the gallery in Marine Court. Local heroes all. The side tables are from a shop near Caroline’s home 91 wealdentimes.co.uk
