This afternoon, I took a pleasant post-uni stroll and wandered into “Junktique”, a vintage emporium of furniture, bric-à-brac and the like down Glebe Pt Road. I made plenty of wonderful (albeit expensive) discoveries in Junktique, but one was particularly revolutionary: a short lease rental apartment IN the emporium. Wild!
I’m not exactly in need of accommodation right now, but oh, how I wish I was. Not only is the apartment IN a vintage store (helloooo, ultimate dream), but it’s also entirely fitted out in vintage furniture and wonderful kitsch decor from the Junktique emporium. Here are some photos – try to remain calm.
The little area of Junktique that leads into The Glorious Vintage Apartment.
Bedroom #1: amazing dresser is amazing.
The living room: oh, the kitch-y pictures – they’re too much.
The kitchen: try not to freak out.
Bedroom #2: if only there were words enough to profess my love for that chair.
The bathroom: Stylish with a capital ‘S’.
All this can be yours for $1200/week, so about $170/night for four people – not bad, considering the exorbitant tariffs of Sydney hotels (AND you’ll be living in a vintage emporium). I don’t doubt that this is Sydney’s most eclectic accomodation.
If you’re a vintage traveller coming to Sydney, stay in Junktique’s vintage apartment! And then tell me about it – I want to live through you.
Until next time, happy travels – through cyberspace or otherwise.
How lovely. Will be sure to pay this a visit if I visit Sydney.
And make sure you tell me about it!
Oh wow, that is amazing.
What a great place to base a Sydney holiday.
And I love (!!!) that store!
My thoughts exactly!
