hamptons home living, 180 latrobe tce, paddington




hamptons hm living has come up several times...friends mentioned it, i saw various tweets regarding it & the concept was something that sounded great to me...a store combining beautiful homewares & a cafe.  i met & chatted with luke & his wife tania recently at their store...took plenty of pictures (as you can see).  i thoroughly enjoyed my lunch (daily special of - roast pork w crackling, sliced apple, tangy dressing, lettuce on leavain baguette) + my st ali latte was great...ruby loved her bircher muesli & eve settled for the french fries which she happily munched on.  we sat at the communal table & my seated neighbour had the baked eggs in terracotta which looked fabulous!...u can also buy the pots in the store.

chef andrew signorini is young, keen & came from being head chef at the jetty.  luke said that hamptons food is about simple dishes done well.  my pork baguette was exactly that...simple, good ingredients & done well!  i am still thinking about that crackling!

luke said that the cafe and the store combined are about providing quality & beauty.  The inspiration for the interiors are all tania's.  tania's inspirations are definitely hamptons, but she has favourite designers of the moment in fashion & interiors (alexander mcqueen, kelly wearstler, greg natale, rodarte & chanel).

luke & tania moved home to brisbane in jan this year after 11 yrs of living in melbourne & running restaurants in the cbd.  after 3 mths they settled on 180 latrobe tce (an old queenslander in paddington)...here, they have & are pursuing their dreams, whilst having a life & working together.

Oh The Hamptons is such a beautiful shop. I was in there today- haven't yet eaten there but am planning to very soon. The homewares are just beautiful. I would be happy to have a house exactly like that!
