Inspiring me - Lyn Gardener of Empire Vintage

Empire Vintage is a boutique store selling only the most beautiful hand selected items to fill your home. Lyn Gardener is the pretty brunette behind this amazing Australian based shop! To top it off, not only is her shop full of eye-candy, we hear that her home has been featured in magazines all over the world too- hmmm, now I'm curious and would LOVE to see it!

You will find chandeliers, original upholstered beds, tables & chairs, wallpapers, & the ultimate in glamour and design!! New stock arrives weekly which will keep you coming back for more! Yay, we love Lyn and wish she were closer and not so far away in Australia. But, I love AU too...

Real Creative

I ran across one of these shots on Decor 8 last week and totally loved it! The girl in the shot is Claire, shes a Melbourne-based stylist for the awesome 'Real Living Australia Mag'! She's the girl who adds life to the pages of so many of those shots you see when you open up Real Living. You can check out her own blog at: Styling with Friends. My message to Claire is "Stop making these pages shine, I'm spending all my money on your magazine! JUST KIDDING, great job"!
