The Antique Centre this week

We had a rearrange this week at the Woolloongabba Antique Centre with a couple of new pieces of furniture coming in.
Roy has been working on this kitchen hutch for a few weeks, it was covered from top to bottom in thick brown paint when we got it, Roy stripped it back to reveal the lovely original lemon and green, touched up the paint and sanded back for a smooth shabby look.

A new bar with a glass top and lovely wood base.

lots of gorgeous gloves, great for that vintage look.

new palm tree mirror.
