The Husband and I have been away for a few days, living it up large without the children.  A real treat.  We headed to Eastbourne because I love being by the sea and blown along beaches.  And we had a gift voucher to stay at The Grand there..

The weather was perfect; blue skies and a crisp wind.

The husband is always getting dragged to the nearest antiques warehouse (he would say ‘tat shop’) To keep him cheerful there has to be coffee and cake on tap. We struck lucky with ‘Eras of Style’ at Bexhill on Sea.

A fabulous selection of lights.

Loved the unusual square shape of this one with the glass on both sides.  Seen this style as a wall light, but never as a pendant before.

Would have bought this one if it had been a pair – look at those fronds and the shadows…

Fabulous light! would brighten up any corner..

I Want this one on my desk. Now!

Loved this psycho deer – gutted it was sold. And not to me.

Spotted these 1940’s style painted scenery trees and bushes..imagine in a children’s room…

I’m a sucker for a good sign..on my laundry room door – or toilet?

Saw this for the MasonBentley office.  Perfect hey.

Along with this amazing 1950s double desk..and the parquet floor please…

This would be the island unit for my kitchen, complete with shelving behind.  And light.

And these shelves.  Lovely.

The clown for Charlie’s room? – or the dining room? hmmmmmm….

This bath had the most enormous, lush taps I have ever seen.Love the masculine quality to these bedside tables/side tables.  Clean lines, great details and beautifully made.  Gorg.

Eras of Style has been converted from the original Bexhill West Station.  Isn’t their food counter the best ever?

A truly great place to stop for a coffee and a cake.  And a browse.  I’ll be back.
