i picked up this sweet little table and chair set from my favourite, can't-seem-to-walk-past-without-checking-out-what-potential-treasures-are-out-the-front, junk shop. they are probably the most beaten up, weathered kiddyliwink furniture to be found in greater melbourne, but they've got spunk, no? and that colour.. let's be honest, that's what sucked me in.
p.s. in case you're wondering, the artwork is by nicholas goodwolf. we bought it from pg printmakers gallery in fitzroy, but i believe he is represented by a few different galleries.
update: the address of my favourite little junk shop is on the corner of ballarat & simpson st, yarraville.
The colour is great and the shape of the chairs.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the little slopey seat on the blue chair.
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
Came across your blog only recently - thanks for a great read.
PS. I'm also admiring your banner/blog heading...Am new to the game so haven't quite got that design feature sorted (or worked out!) yet.
Yes, this set is totally awesome. Good find! Are you willing to share your favourite Melbourne junk shop secrets?
ReplyDeleteand what junk shop is this, miss kk? you holding out on me??
ReplyDeleteCould it be that teeny tiny little place in Yarraville near the Haus Frau bakery I wonder?? :) Mmmm they are lovely. Great purchase.
ReplyDeleteScore! What a great find. Yarraville I presume?! We went house hunting down that way the other day and came home sans house but with a boot full of op shopped goodness.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to resist the colour either. Nor the angles.
Oh my goodness, such a good find. Is there anything better than scoring such a treasure when you head out thrifting? Good work xx
ReplyDeleteI love a good junk shop find! Isn't it the best feeling to find something very cool and cheap all at the same time?!
