a little bit of danish vintage

This week I became the proud owner of this lovely sofa that I

bought from dansk vintage at the Wooloongabba Antique Centre.

I wanted to have an area without a television upstairs, where the focus

would be on reading or quiet activity.

I originally saw this sofa when I had just popped into the WAC for a coffee. It

was displayed in the entrance foyer and almost stopped me in my tracks. My mum

was still over at that time from Germany, and rather than having a coffee

I turned straight around, hopped in the car and drove to get her so that

she could have a look too before I bought it - all the while

fervently hoping that no one would buy it while I was collecting her.

Luckily it was still there when we returned, and I have been diligently making

payments since then until this week when I finally was able to bring it back

to the old girl.

it's hard to photograph but there is some beautiful detailing

in the upholstery

this is the view looking into the room from behind the sofa -

I have had these two little antique tub chairs for about 15 years.

I'll get them reupholstered at some point. The table is

an earlier purchase from dansk vintage too.

the little box with compartments is another

WAC find

It's always worth a visit to the WAC to have a look around - and the

cafe is excellent too.
