I hope this post finds you all well & enjoying a weekend FILLED with Treasures from the past....!!
I'm PLEASED to advise a FABULOUS article featuring our home (aka the house that SVJ built), can be seen in todays Herald Sun HOME lift out....I've had several calls already this morning with one lovely lady asking if this event is going to be a sale....My answer to that is a resounding YOU BETCHA....A group of my VERY talented Shabby Vintage Junk buddies will be showcasing their wares in a way I don't believe has been seen before in Australia....You are in for a VISUAL FEAST....Think of your FAVE design book or vintage shop window that you have oohed & ahhed over....THAT's what I'm talkin' about.... :o) !!
My stall in particular will look not unlike the pictures shown in the Herald Sun article....!!
As always, I'm 'on the fly' so will leave you with a few pics of pieces we've put the finishing touches on this mornning....!!
I look forward to seeing you at the SVJ-X & sharing my Treasures with you....!!!
Don't forget, you're WELCOME to contact me at shabbyvintagejunk@hotmail.com or on 0428 505 645.
The DIVINE patina on this tool box has been ENHANCED with a coat of poly....!!
100 years of life has left this STUNNING piece of craftmanship with a GLORIOUS finish....
TO FREAKIN DIE FOR....
Reconstruction saved this baby from the scrap pile & several coats of paint has helped show of this BEAUTIES fine lines....The hardware has been left as found....G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S....!!
PERFECT for the bedroom, office laundry....ANY room in the house really.... :o) !!
** sigh ** wish I could KEEP them all....!!!
Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)

ReplyDeleteI found you BECAUSE of this article. Your home is beautiful. When I scanned for your info I was sooooo happy to see that you're a blogger! :) My husband was especially happy to see that I loved your article because of the green ladder that you have in your lounge. If I didn't know where his was, I'd swear that was it. lol! I am particularly in love with your J.U.N.K. letters, suitcases & bowling pins..... Now I'm starting to sound a little obsessed so I'll go before I start sounding like a freak.... too late! lol! Looking forward to seeing your wares up close in August. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! Tamarah, it is all so very exciting. I know that you are very stressed out, but believe me, it will be a great success. You are the queen of JUNK. The article was so very good and your home looked amazing. But I still love it best when everything is all over the place. Speak to you soon.
