Lyn Gardener's Fitzroy home
Egads, check out this gloriously feminine home, featured on The Design Files recently. James would have a conniption if I tried to do up the house like this (it might just be worth it). The dressing room’s enough to make me swoon.
The owner is Lyn Gardener of Empire Vintage in Albert Park, Melbourne. I want I want…




But its so….white. Only an anal retentive could live there.LOL
I have a friend that knows Lyn, the lady that owns this house and shop. She took my hubby to be there and he bought me some gorgeous earrings. Lovely lovely.
Talk about dressing rooms to make you swoon – i am helping a friend design her new ‘pink’ change room- which you enter only from her bedroom. With pink carpet, antique pink velvet chair with a dressing table & custom made wardrobes. Oh I nearly forgot ..a chandelier of course.
