It's the little things

This petite sweetie could fit into a formal room, or she'd be just as happy with an eclectic mix of other pieces for a more individual style ($125). - SOLD
In-store right now is also a beautiful spun fibreglass, glass top table ($275), and a small black cane side table ($75).

Ruggedly handsome

It's not all freshly painted and upholstered ditties round these parts. We do like to mix things up, which is what we've done today.

Gorgeous pottery lamps ($90, $150), old cigar boxes, rustic oil lanterns, vintage chess books and a bevelled mirror ($165) sit atop a perfectly aged garden table, which looks stunning indoors too. To the side you can also spot an old concrete planter, perfect to nestle into a verandah corner or courtyard.

Come in for a visit, there's plenty more in store to see.

What's for breakfast?

Sitting at this breakfast table with a slice of toast and freshly brewed cuppa, that's what. (SOLD)

These darling little compact gems are superb for a small space. Be it, in the kitchen, side verandah, or placed behind your lounge for some extra seating, there's always a spot in the house screaming out for a inconspicuous table and chairs.

Covered in a blue and natural linen tribal fabric - we also have a couple of throw cushions for sale separately for extra comfort or to work in with an existing lounge. $225 for the setting and $32 for each scatter cushion.

The cane wall cabinet in this picture is priced at $65. Great for an outdoor area above a sink or in a small powder room. Pop your trinkets on it and hang your hand towel over the rail.

Pretty little somethings

The pink swan is now sold, but there's a couple more in-store, and another arriving very soon.

Open day

Era Home & Vintage officially opened at Woolloongabba Antiques Centre on Sunday, September 9, 2012. We've kicked off with a Spring time outdoor theme, complete with lawn.
Turn your verandah into the best dressed room in the house - afterall, that's where we spend most of our time in Queensland.
In-store right now is a fab three piece black cane setting which is compact and comfy, as well as an elegant 1930s cane chaise.

These two white cane chairs sold within the first few hours of trade, but there's more on the way! 

The start of something

It was only last Friday that we moved into the Woolloongabba Antique Centre - a Disneyland of wonder for lovers of retro and vintage furniture and wares.
We began with this blank canvas, and over the next couple of hours the clever boys from the Gold Coast School of Construction transformed it into the new Era Home & Vintage store.

The bespoke, purpose built pop up shop was designed to be flat packed and transportable. Piece to piece it came together on-site.

Our shelves act as a brace, and now house a collection of beautiful coloured glass and retro homewares.

The trellis at the top stabilises the structure and allows us to hang our light fittings, macrame, bunting and all kinds of lovely things.

Ta da! Our completed store,

and so begins Era Home & Vintage.
