A gorgeous mix of influences ranging from exotic Asia to the cool Bahamas, Hollywood Regency to wild Africa. The colours and patterns are so divine - lots of blues and greens, black & white, with pops of vibrant accent colours. Vintage mingles with contemporary, and fabrics such as Shumacher and Christopher Farr Cloth have me weak at the knees.
I first became aware of PAD via an edition of Adore Magazine, and also found these photos taken and shared by fellow blogger, Heidi of Paddo to Palmy.
Gorgeous window displays.
Fabulous drum stools and chairs.
Incredible detail. I hope one day soon I get to visit.

DeleteMy goodness Vic this place looks right up your alley! xx
ReplyDeleteI know Amy, I just wish it was a bit closer! x
DeleteWhat a gorgeous shop it's lovely to see a store with such a colourful, eclectic mix. I loathe to say it but Auckland doesn't have enough stores like this. Often I see the same products in 4 different homeware stores. When I next visit Sydney, PAD will definitely be on my list of to do's :)

I know what you're saying Lee. There are such gorgeous, unique pieces in PAD, and that's what you want in your home. I hope I get to visit soon too. x
DeleteIt is fascinating following the very coolest interiors/styling blogs, as you see the fashions pop up at least a year ahead of the NZ stores. Just can't get my head around the early 80's style here, though. Ye gods am I showing my age?? Yes I think I am. I remember the big Philadendron pot plants, the bright painted furniture, the macrame rugs from my childhood (very early childhood, of course??). We used to make macrame and bead pot plant hangers, and cover bamboo chairs just like these. Have to love fashion coming around again and again!!! And LOVE that we all have different styles. Rx
ReplyDeleteOne more to add to the list for my next visit to Sydney. Thanks for the intro! x
