Vintage / 26

Hej friends, I have visited some shops that sell second-hand & vintage stuff. There are loads of them here in Sydney & many are impressively well-stocked. It’s a pleasure to stroll around, talk with the shop owner & try to imagine the history  behind some of these things. But there are some stores that have ridiculously high prices too. They ride well on the wave, I guess, which means that they charge as much as they can, as long as it lasts. My youngest sone came home with a  two stools. He found them on his way to school. This is unusual in Sweden maybe in parts of Europe too – but here in Australia, people gather their stuff in a pile beside the sidewalk twice a year during a few weeks. The garbage guys will thereafter pass to pick this up, for waste management. This has become pure business for some. They go by in small trucks & sort quickly through that they can make money on. Good on them, it’s good for the environment. Anyway, these high stools in black that he found looks great & it seems like Axel has made this to his thing. This is the third time he comes home with stools & low pallets. I hope he continues because they are gorgeous:) Theres nothing as beautiful as old worn furniture in a modern place. The contrast is so strong & inviting. Some of the newly produced items are so well done that it’s almost impossible to see wether they are old or not.

White sheets fit into both old & new. What makes the whole picture is the embossed plate used as headboard … with rust stains left behind. To not mention the pendant.

The environment itself does the job but the bathtub is the ice on the cake. The wood-lined frame is so nice.

Carefully chosen + carefully placed + an eye for details = great result. Just look at the old stair case / MIX SE,

This is kind of romantic, for some reasons. or maybe nostalgic is the right word,

I guess these items are new ones with the aim of creating the worn out feeling in them. Which I think is nicely done / Greige interior design,

                     

The jug is new produced & I guess the accessories on the table are the same, except the table but what do I know / Hus & hem,

I like thes but cant really guess what the y originally was used to, one as a mirror, the others to hang necklaces maybe,

This is probably the most genuine & authentic. I want to believe it anyway. Just check out the headboard in velvet.

Take care / Marie
