The day has arrived!
Kylie of
Lucy Violet Vintage and I put out the call 2 weeks ago to see if people might be willing to share snapshot of their favourite Retro & Vintage Inspired Corner of their Home.
If you would like to share your link, please see the bottom of this post to add your image and blog link. Then please head over to Kylie's blog at
Lucy Violet Vintage to add your link there as well (things work better in pairs...Twix Chocolate bars, Laverne & Shirley, Bert & Ernie...),
and/or check out the photographs that may have been submitted to Kylie.
I can't wait to pop over and check them out!!
So let's kick it off with my favourite corner of my home.
Donna (Me!), (2 Photos)
Couch from the Op Shop. I had my eye on it there for weeks and finally bought it for $100.
Love the colours, and the sleigh wooden legs (thanks for that tip off Pippa!)
Lamp from the Man, little owl a gift from Pippa, and cushion cover a gift from Kylie.
This
is where you will find me most nights - either blogging, gabbing on the
phone, or watching my fave shows like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad,
True Blood, Southland & quality weekly TV like Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills (I'm serious). The only thing missing from this picture is
a cup of tea and some Mint Slice Chocolate biscuits.

Retro Buffet/Sideboard in our outdoor room off the kitchen.
Orange Ice Bucket was one of my mum and dads wedding presents, replica Bush retro radio,
thin green vase was also mums, and the rest are thrifted pieces collected over the years.

And an addition pic from my daughter Mia.
This is a retro chair we bought at the Vintage Shed in Tyabb now
being used as her desk chair. (Best pic I could get in a messy room!)
Note the 80's inspired sunnies on the desk. : )

Dancer Print was from 'the man' & the step bookcase was off the side of the road!
Green couch in second picture a purchase from Camberwell markets
and the floral cushions were a thrifted gift from a friend.

We recently purchased a permanent site holiday caravan.
It's been great to deck it out with retro wares.
These pics are taken in the permanent annex attached to the van.
The sideboard pictured was from family in Tasmania, Radio and Clock from the man
(both in working order), Cake Tins & Willow from a store in Richmond, & rest of the
bits and pieces thrifted from here and there.

This is my favourite place to sit to take in the rays of sunlight with a good book.
Chair and lamp were my grandparents, thrifted cane magazine holder
and rugs hand made by mum.

Thrifted bits and pieces in my kitchen. The red kitchen chair was side of the road pick up (I got 2!), scales rolling pin and old Schweppes bottles from 'the man' and the large metal wall hanging from the Vintage Shed in Tyabb. It weighs a tonne!

Wow!! Tonnes of submitted photograph entries which is awesome.
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit them.
Hope you have as much fun looking through them all as I did!
Please check back for updates as we may get some extras to post up in the next day or so.
