Fashion and Style: Lyn Gardener - 'Empire Vintage'

Hello,

When I think back to the people who have influenced my style and taste over the years - the first person whom comes to my mind is Lyn Gardener of Empire Vintage


Lyn Gardener


The shop has recently had a mini makeover within and looks amazing with dark chocolate shelves. 


Have you heard of her? 

Many people have blogged about her - and of course you will see the reason why...She is an amazing lady whom I was very fortunate to meet when I went into her shop one day with my two little boys not expecting to see her there and yet there she was! 


As a young lady I first came across Lyn's work in a Marie Claire magazine before I got married. I remember cutting out all the lovely images of her homes as I was truly inspired by her style and detail in her work. An old mattress factory was purchased by Lyn and remodeled into a beautiful and romantic space. Other spaces which have been featured in magazines include her Fitzroy home and Daylesford Property - 'The White House' which is available to rent - although heavily booked!!!


A beautiful collection of bowls, jugs, cake stands makes such a lovely picture.


Image above and below are the same room - the above image was one I originally remembered as a young girl and now it has changed with the times...beautiful either way!!!




I love homewares...an amazing collection and Lyn really taught me that styling with lots of the same thing makes huge impact...Martha Stewart does a good job of this too.


A collection of vintage mirrors on a painted brick wall makes the space look so enchanting.

Are you in love? Such gorgeous rooms that Lyn creates. She really understands how to build and tell a story.
