antique heaven

as you can see today i was in homewares heaven. 
i paid a little visit to the lovely wooloongabba antique store.
i was very tempted to by a truck load of white washed furniture.
they have a mix of old and new, with plenty of amazing finds to be had. 
some things can be expensive (we are talking antiques after all) but there are bargains to be had.
in the photo with the washing container you can see the corner of a turquoise cushion. 
this is now in my bedroom and looks gorgeous, the perfect splash of colour on my white bedspread. 
i loved the old school blackboard however i do not have a spare $495 or a place to put it!
 they had other cute smaller blackboards that were made from picture frames.
i think it would look cool with chalk scribbled notes and messages.
in melbourne the people in the apartment across to us had a whole wall done blackboard paint.   
the table with the white legs and wooden top is very similar to one i scored on the weekend.
a neighbour of matt's had it out on their lawn, i couldn't believe my eyes!
everything else i just loved the look of, like the paper flower wall hanging.
who wants to come with me next time?

  1. Um, ME!! I haven't been because I'm scared I'll want to purchase every second item ;) My big boys have a full chalkboard wall in their bedroom, they get their friends to sign it when they visit and it looks fab!
