Inspiring me - Lyn Gardener of Empire Vintage

Empire Vintage is a boutique store selling only the most beautiful hand selected items to fill your home. Lyn Gardener is the pretty brunette behind this amazing Australian based shop! To top it off, not only is her shop full of eye-candy, we hear that her home has been featured in magazines all over the world too- hmmm, now I'm curious and would LOVE to see it!




You will find chandeliers, original upholstered beds, tables & chairs, wallpapers, & the ultimate in glamour and design!! New stock arrives weekly which will keep you coming back for more! Yay, we love Lyn and wish she were closer and not so far away in Australia. But, I love AU too...

  1. I love the photo of the milk glass-I started collecting it right before my wedding & I've been hooked ever since!

  2. I'm suprised you haven't seen photos, they've been blogged about so many times. I actually used to live down the street from her original renovated warehouse, which was much more masculine and industrial looking. She apparently split from her then partner, and bought the warehouse next door, which is now white and very girly. I think a few of those images you've posted are of her place. It's in the inner north of Melbourne.
