Re decorating Vintage Style

| Vintage decor |
- Have you ever tried to re decorate with items you have had for years and really love, the results can be amazing and really meaningful.
- How about decorating from second hand shops or Opportunity Shops, remember some one Else's junk is someone Else's treasure.
- Write a list of some of the items you may want to purchase, but it is just as much fun to spend time wandering through the second hand shops stumbling across some really great pieces.
- The trick to decorating from a second hand shop is always check over the item really carefully, make sure its really sturdy and there is not too much work to be done, or it could turn into a really major project.
- Vintage re decorating can be an ongoing project ever changing, go for it and see how fantastic you feel when you have finished a room!

I am inspired by your blog and really want to get started on a project. I am thinking to start in the guest room and work my way from there. Have you got some suggestions please of places to visit to get inspiration, and also purchase from, that are close to Frankston/Langwarrin. I was thinking the Packing House in Tyabb? Can you still get bargains there? Or am I better off to find some op shops?
ReplyDeleteThere are two really fantastic shops I go to for second hand furniture they are Vinnies or the Epilepsy Op Shop in Cranbourne, I have never been to the Packing House in Tyabb, I must visit there now you have mentioned it.
DeleteAlso don't forget to try Trash and Treasure markets there is one in Dandenong, great bargains there! For Inspiration or ideas really old movies have some amazing furniture and decor.
Haha, I meant to post a comment here but it was posted on your other entry! Anyway, love this thank you!
