Vintage Shopping in Berkhamstead

Home and Colonial is 'one of the UK's most attractive and innovative antique and interior shops.' And, yes it's certainly a very attractively laid out vintage shop. The mid-century furniture is especially cool. There's a nice cafe on the top floor too, so you can stop for a cup of tea. None of the goods especially caught my eye, apart from a beautiful art deco chair.

This place is worth a visit, but it's far from perfect. There is too much 'vintage style' items for my liking. Pretend art deco lamps for the same price as a real one are not my bag. Like lots of vintage shops, the stuff is grossly over-priced. I recommend going for browsing purposes only, great for a Sunday afternoon!

    It does look very chic and nice indeed, but overpriced vintage is always quite annoying to see! x

    The photographs look so lovely - it's a shame the pieces are so overpriced. I hate it when people try to pass off items as "vintage" when it's so obvious that they aren't x
