Furniture Love

My mum needs to start her own business.  Since we have been in our house, she has helped us design and plant our front and back garden.  Yesterday she had a rare Saturday off from work so she showed me some hidden treasures in Perth for furniture and homewares.

I came back with a lighter purse yesterday afternoon, but I was so pleased with my haul.  She is a bargain hunter my Ma and has got me thinking about what else I can do in the house.

Our first stop was a Balinese Wholesaler in Girrawheen Shopping Centre.  These two bedside tables were exactly the same but with a price tag of $40 and $75 each.  Mum talked him down to $30 each!!


The bowl for our coffee table was another bargain for a tenner.


This gorgeous little toybox for Liam's toys in the living area was $20


Richard picked up this great mirror at Target, thank god he is going along with the 'white theme'

 

Another gem of a place we found yesterday in Joondalup is a place called Vast Furniture and Homewares.  The two ladies that own it are from Ireland and the UK and go over to Melbourne for furniture fairs every fortnight.  They have two containers worth of stuff coming in very soon.  I have my eye on this piece and they said if Liam comes along for a visit, they'll do me a good discount!


My sister in law's mum grabbed this suite a few weeks ago and I just love it!  Definitely something else for our back studio that we are converting into a theatre room/study/play area


Love this couch!



And I can see us gathering around an outdoor table like this for balmy summer nights


Must. Stop. Shopping!

Beautiful purchases Jo. Can you send your Mum over here for a few days?
