Quaint Country meets Vintage Chic

This oh so wholesome pair of besides were lost in a haze of the federation and cream colour schemes of the 90's. They had beautiful curves in all the right places and needed nothing but a freshen up and a splash of vintage colour. Yes, this is the same paper I used on an earlier work 'Adel and Evie'. The white against the mustard works so well to add instant pop and change a very farm house pair into very now vintage chic duo.

Monochromatic Retro Drawers with John Rombola

This sorry excuse for a child's set of drawers was screaming out for a makeover and I knew just the paper to do it! Recently rediscovered by a new generation of art and design lovers, John Rombola's illustration's are described as rambunctious and spirited. His eccentric eclectic style create fun and interest. Depicted here are 'Apple' 'Pinapple and other 'Miss fruit' queens in their finery. Absolutely adorable and for the young or young at heart.

Come Away With Me

Drift away with this gorgeous French inspired vintage hot air balloons chest of drawers. This adorable piece was patiently waiting to be brought into focus with some crisp white, dove grey and sweet vintage Italian paper inserts. The rustic combination of raw timber against the muted colour pallet creates an eclectic mix of French Provincial meets relaxed Industrial Chic. The wrought iron knobs playfully mimic the shapes like miniature balloons ready to take you away to on a whimsical ride. I adore this piece and can see it in either a children's bedroom or even in the living room of an eclectic home as a sideboard stacked with vintage books and frames.

Tropic Chic’

These retro bedsides in their original smoke and ash coloured veneer needed very little to bring them into focus. I loved their colour and they so beautifully complimented the vintage bamboo wallpaper they looked as though they were made for one another. The vibrant green bamboo freshens the pallet and adds interest. The painted gold legs and clear glass pulls add a glamorous twist moving this retro pair from retro drab to retro fab tropical chic! I LOVE these and have had to wrestle them from my sisters clutches! Such a statement piece and perfect for our gorgeous sunshine state!

Camille's Old English Roses

I saw stunning Camille amongst a collection of Op shop clutter, she immediately caught my eye with her lovely lines and art deco mouldings - she had the hallmarks of 1950's French glamour. A coat of 'evening' black instantly transformed Camille from a wallflower piece to the main event. Of course I have added a vintage wallpaper insert using the most luxurious English floral on coal black and distressed her just a little to show her charm. The beautiful wallpaper was very difficult to find and Camille had a long wait while I sourced just the right accent finish. The rarer floral on black is more seductive than the traditional floral ranges commonly on white or pastel and adds a contemporary allure to an old classic. An elegant glass dome pull set on brass adds a touch of vintage parlour chic. Camille is a glamours old piece who like all true women is ageing with grace and style.

Adel and Evie

This striking set of white bedside drawers are complimented with colour popping  vintage lattice wallpaper inserts. Adel and Evie are a fresh and contemporary take on a 70's classic. The stunning lattice wallpaper in a mustard tone works well with all colours. These bedsides would be best suited against white and decorated with other bold colours. Don't be afraid to uses these two in a living room as occasional tables, perfect for storing magazines or throws.
