Wealden Times | WT186 | August 2017 | Wedding supplement inside

This page: Helen’s bedroom is a gloriously pared back ‘homage to a Greek bedroom’, with white walls and shutters, a bed by Loaf, an
Indian quilt and Romanian cushion and paintings from a fellow Norman Road trader
and waxed, read to lay straight onto the concrete.
Just about everything else in the kitchen – including that
perfect blue bowl holding the lemons – is from SHOP.
This includes the rack of wooden shelves by Garden
Trading and everything in them: enamel bowls and jugs
of various sizes, vintage cups and saucers and cook books.
Even European floor brushes, similar to the one hanging
on the wall above it, are for sale 100 metres down the hill.
Kitchen implements stored in colourful empty sardine
and olive oil tins, vintage tin trays, an old French traffic
sign, wartime Ministry of Information posters (‘Tea revives
you’, ‘Eat your greens’) and a mix of those lovely bowls,
add a cheerful blend of bright colours, also reflected in
paintings. The one of a tiger in a jungle on the stairs, was
created by Holly for a competition when she was five and was
subsequently displayed in the Commonwealth Institute.
