lolina vintage café @ malasaña

One of my favourite barrios in Madrid is Malasaña. It is full of restaurants, cafes and second hand or vintage shops too. It is an ideal meeting place for hipsters. If you ever in Madrid, do stop by to check it out.

My favourite café in Malasaña is Lolina Vintage Café. The café is decorated with vintage or retro furniture. If you are into vintage furniture, you will definitely love this place! I will just let the photos speak for themselves...

After a hard day of walking around the city and checking out nearby vintage stores, I stopped by here for a break; enjoying a nice cup of latte and a yummy slice of red velvet cake.... Yuummmm...... so scrumptious.

Bed and wooden stool as bedside table

Metal desk and low cabinet

Dresser cum cabinet

I have posted an entry on my room early this month (click here). Now, I am ready to reveal my room (at least 95% put together). Still need some finishing touches. One of the desk lamps need to replace its lamp shade, wooden stools needs to be painted and to change bed sheets. The low cabinet is a new addition and it was purchased few weeks after I purchased the dresser cum cabinet and metal typist desk.

What do you think of my room?

from vintage clothes to vintage furniture...

Whilst I was in Ipoh last weekend, I was lucky to discover a new place that sells and buys second hand and vintage furniture. As I am in the middle of moving and settling, it would be good to check out what they have in store... some vintage furniture caught my eyes but I purchased two pieces for my new room..

Vintage dresser and cabinet

Vintage metal typist desk

Before purchasing these lovely vintage furniture pieces, I was not so excited to make over my new room but now, I have started to plan the make over; colour of the walls, curtain etc. Tough and stressful work. But I believe, once the make over is done, I would be satisfied with the outcome (keeping my fingers crossed).

What do you think of this little blue stool to go with the typist desk?
