Let's go shopping!

Whenever I go to Sydney, one of my favourite places to visit is Woollahra. It's a lovely old area, with tree-lined streets, drop-dead gorgeous homes full of character and style, and best of all, fantastic shopping.<br /><br />I know I 've mentioned before that, for me, every great room needs at least one unique piece to set it apart.  And if you're on the hunt for unique pieces, you can't go past <a href="http://parterre.com.au/">Parterre</a>. Their range is constantly changing, and you'll find everything from chandeliers, antique stone and marble, furniture, and architectual salvage. The store is always beautifully presented, showcasing their lovely wares to perfection.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZYJyw_KCHY6T6BE1sVQVPat00IWAXapUpQsL6C0Ha1KE_UYxRhzE5pATkBYFCHmGlxC3z1FetUzdSVbUJDS82RpwpBj82zZ9khFBpkDi0v4wItYwY2w73nLV1ZlX4kI2fxzCFWMtzDQ/s1600/Parterre-089.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
