Vintage Dressers for the Kitchen

A collection of vintage dresses makes up this boho chic, country, cottage kitchen in Lithgow, Australia.

A perfectly quaint way to display your collection of vintage cups, plates and other decorative arts. Pure charm in bargain shop finds that create that nostalgic sense of grandma’s house from yester year.

This style can be re created on a small budget, all it takes is time and a passion for hunting down those unique pieces. I love checking out my local markets and thrift shops because it is here that you can find those rare treasures that can create a home like this!

Hague Blue Kitchen

Hague blue kitchen by Miles Redd.  High gloss Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball – a rich deep teal color that creates a very sophisticated and mature space.

Hague blue in this kitchen is used in such quantity, from the walls, to the floor to ceiling kitchen cabinets and the skirtings, no place seems untouched by this shade. It is quite a dark color that closes the space in, it would not be suitable for very small kitchens, but in this relatively large kitchen it really works.

Loving the antique bronze faucets and finishes; an old school, drawing room charm is exuded, a real film noir quality.

Rustic, Chic, Turquoise

Lovely rustic, chic bedroom in turquoise and grey tones. Photography by Prue Ruscoe.

A roughly painted wall with a decaying ornamental mural lends the real rustic chic element to this bedroom. This is then balanced with some added glamour seen in the crystal chandelier and pretty bedding including various fancy pillows in satin, velvet and with ruffles. The old trunk used as a bedside table brings in some vintage charm.
