My styling work stays mostly on my portfolio page, however I occasionally share projects here on the blog that I think you would enjoy, and this is one of them. Who doesn’t love a good before & after story?!

This project is a bakery and cafe space in Whitstable called Grain & Hearth. Carmen and Adam got in touch with me last year to ask me to help them realise their long held plans for the bakery. I worked with them to develop concepts, moodboards and sourcing lists. I helped them style the space and worked with other suppliers, and at the end, Dave and I came and did a photo shoot for them too (me styling, Dave shooting)

The space was a rather dilapidated garage in Whitstable.

This was such an amazing project to be involved with. As always with styling projects there have been lessons learned, hiccups and timing delays, but it’s such a beautiful space. And the baked goods! Oh man! Adam is making some of the most incredible stuff with amazing and unusual flavours. It has been very popular locally too, selling out quickly.  If you are planning a trip to Whitstable then definitely plan a visit here. They now do take away picnics too so if you’re visiting from out of town you could order one in advance. And they make vegan options too, including some sort of magic with croissants.
