White and Vintage in Melbourne

Located in a suburb of Melbourne, this former mattress factory was completely abandoned. Even with leaks in the ceilings and cracks and oil stains on the concrete floors, interior designer Lynda Gardener took up the challenge. We could call hers a recycling style. Each room shows her passion for everything vintage, lots of chandeliers (12 in all) and flea market finds.

A courtyard was added right in the centre of the house so there is plenty of natural light in every room

When I first saw this room I thought there was a doorway at the side of the bed.
