Prue and Trude

Prue and Trude are a stunning pair of vintage Thonet chairs. Duck egg blue and teal trim add a new age vibrancy to an old classic. Toile need not be reserved for 18th century manor homes, use it with high contrast contemporary colours to bring it into vogue. Use Prue & Trude as a compliment to a miss matched dining setting or as feature chairs in a bedroom or even as bed side tables in a guest room.

High tea for two!

Beautiful Billie

Billie’ is a beautifully upcycled 1950’s chest of drawers, and the first of my items for my ebay store Vintage Villa Interiors. My etsy store is a new direction for me, focusing on decorating and recycling vintage pieces. Upcycled furniture takes good quality, unique items and gives them a new lease of life. 'Billie' journey starts with gorgeous gender neutral Belle & Boo paper, featuring sweet detailed images of both little boys and little girls. The bold black frame is a contemporary contrast that brings ‘Billie’ into focus.

1950's Chest of drawers in need of some TLC.

Nothing some fresh paint and gorgeous paper can't fix.

Lovely Bell & Boo wallpaper.

Beautiful Bedside Manner

This retro 70's styled night stand has great bones. The unique octagonal 'bun' feet are the highlight for me and have been  brought into focus with a lick of fresh blue. Silver, gold and soft blue paisley damask inserts add drama and detail. The result is old world glamour meets retro styling.

My favourite room, my Kitchen!


This is my favourite room in the house and most definitely the heart of the home, I have far to many little treasures in here and can't seem to stop adding to them. I love the flexibility of the all white kitchen, it allows for my schizophrenic decorating style and constant change. I especially love the pressed metal splash back that adds subtle texture and pattern.

I love bold & bright splashes of colour against crisp white.

My reclaimed kitchen table and mismatches chairs create a sense of fun along side my mother in laws antique high chair in it's original colour.

Retro Inspired Christopher Vine playful melamine plates add splashes of  colour.

I couldn't resist these Wedgwood tea canisters, they were too perfect!

Cracker canisters from England found at a garage sale.

My vintage sunbeam mixer still works!

Woolloongabba Office Space
Stanley Street ,Woolloongabba Queensland


Come in and relax in this office sanctuary. This private therapy room blends vintage warmth with contemporary chic. Retro kiwi velvet  arm chairs entice you in and sit well against the geometric 'Kaufman' fabric throw cushions, covered lamp and office chairs. The timber Balinese mirror reflects light into a dark space. Clustered, eclectic images add interest  and a focal point.  A beautiful reclaimed mosaic side table is brought to life with a coat of paint and new vintage knobs. All the furniture in this space was preloved and restored.  Remember, money can't buy style and a little luxury need not cost the earth.

Recovered floor lamp casts a warm glow over the therapy area.

Luxurious velvet in Kiwi brings an old chair, back to the future!

Beautiful restored mosaic table.
