Decked Out Chairs

Not much of a seaside view from these deckchairs - they're outside Habitat, over looking the Cheltenham ring road! Nice bright colours though, which contrast with the grey slabs of The Brewery. I wonder if the staff have the usual problems associated with putting up deckchairs when they put them out in the morning?!

Suspended Habitat

I finally paid a visit to the newly opened habitat store in town, at The Brewery, as featured in last Wednesdays post. The store is huge, around 1,760 square metres, it is the largest retail unit on the site, and is nearly 3 times larger that the old store in The Promenade. The main feature instore is the specially commissioned art installation, as shown, made up of over 250 products suspended from the double height ceiling. This is truly impressive and contains all sorts of things from cutlery to chairs. The shop is laid out with all the trimmings for Christmas as well as the usual stock and I can't wait to buy a few Christmas decorations nearer the time!

Moving Day

Habitat opens it new and relocated Cheltenham store today at The Brewery. I was drawn to the outside of the shop as all the windows and doors were covered over to make it look like one huge packing box, it even had 'This Way Up' on part of it. (If only I had taken a photo from the other side of the street to show the full effect). When I took this photo on Monday I had a sneaky peek through the half open door and it looked like the staff had their work cut out to get it ready for today. Packing boxes everywhere.
