On the weekend I had a brief break from the massive de-cluttering that is taking place Chez Pirate to head East as Ross was craving Wagyu Burgers from
Cafe Wah Wah. I love Dank St as many of my favourite shops are located in the area but I had never been to the Bromley Arcade, clearly an oversight as he is one of my most loved artists. I have one of his
paintings, which I treasure and I am also obsessed with
Mark Tuckey. Tuckey and Bromley established the Bromley Arcade as a joint venture and for me it was a heavenly combination....
The boys recognised Pirate Boy immediately!
This would be divine in the little one's room!
Love!
After exploring the wonders of the Arcade (if in Sydney you must visit!) we popped into Eco Outdoor. The shop where we sourced the stone for our retaining walls around the pool and I noticed that they had the same vintage wine baskets as I do. Only I had never had the brilliant idea of using them as hanging baskets for plants. They literally had them hanging en masse at the entrance of the shop and they looked stunning.
Watch this space to see my interpretation of this brilliant idea!
They also had very interesting lighting, I guess for any room but especially fantastic for outdoor rooms. These ones reminded me of Mark Tuckeys work and also conjured up images in my head of paddocks and barbed wire fences (I went to boarding school in the country!).
These lights are made from Tumbleweeds and were very impressive in real life, unfortunately the photo does not do them justice. A visit to the shop is well worth it!
