LYN GARDENER: even the everyday is art


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
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 here.

13.
You.
Yes, you.
You're creative, generous, and so kind
to share your lovely rather than keep it locked up.
You invite me to savor it,
and sometimes I get to add to the beauty.
In this way, we all win.
Is this naive?

Maybe.
But it takes courage to hope...
and I so want to be brave.

What do you think?
Do any of these inspirations move you?

I hope you'll click follow and join this lovely journey. 

Here's to finding endless inspiration this weekend,
and I promise to provide more when you visit next.

Hugs.
