Shop fantasy
I’ve yet to meet an interiors bod who didn’t sort of daydream about it, from time to time. Yeah! A shop! Yeah, spending all day buying, arranging and rearranging lovely furniture. Yeah, drinking coffee and listening to Radio 4 in fingerless gloves while waiting for a sale. Yeah, maybe selling some art and some cakes and some flowers and stuff. Lewisham could defo do with a poncey interiors shop, and I’ve found just the place.
Look at the signage! Look at the only-slightly-smashed bottle-bottom glass detailing! I haven’t been this excited since I imagined buying the launderette in Deptford and giving it an avant make-over.

Please can I be your shop assistant? Home & Colonial looks amazing!
Isn’t it fab. I’d love a peep inside. Can’t you just picture it – jars of vintage knitting needles, random rolls of lovely wallpaper. I think I might need someone to arrange hydrangeas in vases, full time, if you’re interested?
Where is the wonderful Home and Colonial? I love it.
It’s on Lewisham Way, just south of New Cross. And area which, btw, with its large student and artist population, could do with a good homes/junk shop.
