The past few days I’ve gathered photos of displays I’ve created over the past 35 years of business.
From shop and window displays, My home and now apartment, The Johnston Collection 2010, antique fairs around Australia, customers homes, the lane way behind my workshop, the neighbours garage door, a nice fence in the side st, anywhere I think would suit, I tend to do it!
Cheeky? Thats for sure!
So I thought I’d share a few, will take several posts to show all. I’m still locating photos and stories screenshooting and emailing myself stories.
I hope you’ll enjoy parts of my decorative history.

I highlighted many of the brass handles in the showroom this morning, so decided to do a post of the piece and the brass-ware dressing.

Not my usual style or periods, but had to have these unique pieces✨✨
