Came across this image from Design Shrine and just had to post it. Love the simplicity of this room, the colours look great together, my favourite part has to be those pendant lights ... I wonder where I can find some of those?
Now to my fab W.A.C. finds ......
Don't you just love the Woolloongabba Antiques Centre (W.A.C.), not only does it have great retro finds but yesterday I bought this Mimco wallet for $14 (yes, Mimco - not a fake). It is in great condition, I still can't believe the price!
Now the best part ....
OMG, I bought this cocktail cabinet which sits in my office from Vinnies for $40 a couple of months ago (used for storage). Imagine my surprise when I saw an identical one yesterday at W.A.C. for $495!!!! Turns out it is by Fred Lowen who is an Australian designer (think Tessa Lounges)! I still can't believe it - okay mine did have some stickers on the front which you can see I have removed, and I still need to refinish the surface ..... but don't you just love it when you find a treasure!! By the way, the print sitting on the top right hand side is by Tsk Tsk, she does beautiful work.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Michelle
Wow! That's a steal for $40 - Fler is so hard to find in reasonable condition. That will come up beautifully. And those Nelson bubbles are available here - they are made through Modernica (USA) I think. Just do a google search for the stockist in Australia.
ReplyDeleteHey Brismod, thanks for your comments re the pendants. After going through google I found the Nelson Bubble Lamps are available through designerlights.com for $895 each ..... I'd love a set of 3 please!! Michelle
