They have 3 adult daughters who call the house "The Op Shop" ... and it is NOT meant as a compliment. What do they know?????
I walked around the house snapping away with my camera, totally in awe at some of the treasures they have hidden away ...
This sideboard has the most inspiring geometric details...
And check out these beauties. So much potential ...
Not to mention this little gem ...
I'm posting these images not only to share with you these fabulous retro treasures, but also so that my friend can show her daughters .... so please leave all your positive (but of course honest) comments for them to read.
Also, here are some fab images I have collected to show them (and you) via the wonder that is flickr.
Hooray for vintage chic!

It's probably all worth a small fortune :-)
ReplyDeleteGosh they certainly do have some beautiful pieces! The parents have taste!
ReplyDeleteOMG I want to go and live in that house with all those treasures!
ReplyDeleteLove love love!!! Forget the holiday house, I'd want to look at those everyday!! Needles in haystacks these days!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is an amazing collection - worth serious $$$ in Melbourne retro circles. A bit of new upholstery and this place could be any home magazine. Lucky!
ReplyDeleteThree words: To. Die. For. The daughters will all want that stuff in a few years!
ReplyDeleteI love the sideboard, the work in that....
ReplyDeleteI too have one of those sewing boxes and love it.
Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteYou didn't by any chance measure that side-board did you? I have the perfect space for it!
ReplyDeleteI ahve that wooden head, that sewing box and was just looking at pots like that on etsy!.
ReplyDeleteAlso I would totally buy the tabel if they want to sell it!
I love the mid-century couch ect not that it suits my house but completely normal for youth to first diss then covet the asthetic
Mid Century Modern=Nothing Better! Love all the great stuff! I just recently acquired 2 dressers that are from the 50's and I LOVE them so much. Now I want to do my whole house in that style! Those pieces are hard to come by and when you do find them, it's usually super expensive!
ReplyDeleteWow what a wonderful collectioin of furniture, I am not into modern furniture, but I can picture that sofa and matching chair in one of my fabric fabrics!!! and that sewing box........how much would you charge to ship it to Florida?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful,I remember the sewing box with my grandmother, it was the same. Don't know where it is know. I wish I knew!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those ceramics that look like Poppy seed-heads.
ReplyDeleteThat sideboard. Wow. It's to die for! And then I scroll down further and see that couch. I LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Truly FAB! I want that amazing, unfolding treasure box!!!
ReplyDeletewell those girls clearly have no taste!
ReplyDeleteWow they have great taste, love the zig zag!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE SOFA - like heart aching love! I am jealous
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration in all these pieces!! I can see quilts, and art, and geometry, and poetry in all of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous finds - how come whenever I go to an Op shop I never find anything like this!!
ReplyDeleteLove the furniture. Bet your hands are itching to recover a couple of the couches.
ReplyDeleteWow. It's vintage heaven! Thank you so much for sharing these retro treasures, Andi.
