A Home in Byron Bay

This house in Australia is a treasure chest of art deco, flea market finds, antiques and unusual knick-knacks! I love how effortlessly everything seems to come together.

The owners were in the business of furniture restoration and therefore have some striking pieces of furniture in their home! They moved their house from Queensland to Byron Baby in New South Wales, Yes, I do mean literally :) They actually moved the kitchen’s hoop pine floorboards from Queensland amongst other things. The owners moved pieces of the entire house in three stages! Wow! In my book that is something!


This coffee table was was once part of a US factory trolley :)




What a charming vignette!




Artifacts from Brisbane, Java, Spain and restored art deco chairs!




Very pretty bunting and love the turquoise chair in the child's bedroom!







I love the swaying palms and the orchids hanging from the trees!




So what are your thoughts about this home?  I would love to know? Make sure you enter my Holiday Giveaway :)
