Some of the best places to see the potential of styling with second furniture is in cafes and restaurants.  I ALWAYS choose to hang out and revisit cafes and pubs and restaurants with a bit recycled style.  They are generally more quirky and interesting and feel a bit more comfortable.  Like home.

Here are some good ones to check out ….

Jam and Cream in Heidelberg if full of second hand love and great ideas.

the best scones ever?

A bit recycling and 80s earthernware at Thomson Street Foodstore
