Aussie designer
Lyn Gardener
is known as Melbourne's
queen of vintage,
for her shop
Empire Village,
and for her ability
to source one-off vintage pieces
oozing interest and charm.
These images feature a cozy
guesthouse in Daylesford
designed by Gardener.
Amanda Henderson-Marks
makes up the other half of
and together the duo transform
residential and commercial spaces
with their signature flair.
Their mantra is one that resonates
with this blogger:
Even the everyday is art
and you don't have to
break the bank.
Is that not the loveliest music to your ears?
There's a bit of edginess
to the guesthouse kitchen, yes?
I am reminded of my talented friend
Monika of Splendid Willow
who so brilliantly infuses just the right
touch of edge into her spaces.
Monika was kind enough to include me
in her Two Cents series today...
where I was asked to share a
summer obsession...
Perhaps you'll find a moment to
pop over, show Mon some love,
and make me feel all fancy
by reading the post.
And if you're visiting from Splendid Willow,
welcome, and I so hope you'll follow
and say hey so I can follow you back!
Gardener & Marks
These creative ladies appear to have
so much fun designing fabulous spaces
with an eye on budget,
and you can see more of their
Aussie magic at their site.
Peace to you right where you are.
