We're absolutely loving this time of year with the weather, the Fringe and events like the Clipsal coming up! I had my first visit to the 'Fringe Club' last night, and it's amazing! With a '50's backyard' type theme with patio furniture and fake grass, we have been inspired by this cool, effortless trend that is so much fun and just exudes comfort! So here are a few ideas to get a new spin on the beloved vintage trend!

The new way to do a sunlounge... made of the best kiln dried timber, that is completely weather proof will last forever! $995.00

The new, and very convenient, way to cool your beverages... with a remote control esky!! $159.95!!

The new way to make a feature of a room... with a gorgeous colourful chandelier $198.00!!

The new and quirky way to serve your food.. with a palace set where you can stack all of your plates and bowls and make a building! from $198.00

So come on over and have a peek for yourself!
