I'm sure most Melbourne readers would know Melbourne's vintage queen Lyn Gardener! Lyn's wonderful shop Empire Vintage in Albert Park has long been a local favourite for everything rare, pretty and vintage - and she also has three AMAZING homes which you might have seen before in print or online (including a feature on Design*Sponge last year!). They're truly incredible spaces, decorated to perfection by Lyn herself, and often used as locations by photographers, film makers and events companies. Each home has a very different personality from the next - There are 2 industrial-style spaces in Fitzroy... and her more recent project - The White House in Daylesford. How beauuuutiful!?? Lyn truly has the magic vintage/industrial touch!

The White House is not actually Lyn's own home - but the good news is, it's a guesthouse you can go and stay at! For more details please check out The White House website!

And stay tuned for shots of Lyn's own super-girly-gorgeous home in Fitzroy this afternoon!

  7. Oh, it's so lovely. I actually won a penguin books competition (guessing how many popular penguin books were in that library) and stayed there last October. It was sublime.
