We made it to ONE year! Everyone has been telling us that the first year in business is the hardest, we wont disagree, but last Thursday night we celebrated with a bunch of lovely people- some beautiful customers who have made our store a destination on their shopping lists and lots of lovely local suppliers who we have had the pleasure of working with over the past 12 months.
HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has stepped foot inside the doors at yellow bungalow over the past year, we hope you have found our style for furniture, art and design appealing and that having it on your doorstep in Bondi has been a blessing! Over the past 12 months we have been refining the products and pushing ourselves to step it up time after time.
We hope you all continue to visit and shop with us in the store and online over the coming months leading up to Christmas, we will be introducing a stack of new products.
Thanks to those that were able to celebrate with us. And an extra special thanks to C Coconut water for supplying a stack of coconut water for the event! Enjoy the photo's!

Allot of our customers have been searching for the elusive perfect coffee table. It's a tough one, there is a heap of choice, but like you, we think coffee tables need to be beautiful, functional, sizable but not the centre of the room. We have sent so many of our Nordic side tables off to new homes in the past 11 months we thought you needed another option, so we've got 2 new styles coming in next week. Plus a brand new bookcase ( part of a big collection of furniture) and a beautiful new floor lamp.
Stay in touch with us via facebook, pinterest, twitter and instagram to get the previews next week!

This handsome guy originates rom 1960's Sweden, he spent many years enjoying life in the northern hemisphere before he was recused one day, carefully wrapped in blankets and boarded a plane to Melbourne. After a few cold dark months in Melbourne, "Sven" we will call him; took a trip to Sydney and was delighted to find himself in Bondi- from Swedish winters to Bondi - Sven could not believe his luck!
Almost every male customer who visited yellow bungalow in our first few months fell in love with Sven, his soft leather was comforting like an old friend. Then early one morning along came a lady with a mission, Sven was to be her husbands reading chair and he was going home with her! Im really pleased to say that Sven has an amazing home in Bondi with what is probably one of the best views of the beach he could ever have hoped for.
Thank you Sven for making so many people happy!
If you are looking for your own version of Sven, have a look at our current vintage furniture collection.

The new store at 221 Bondi road is still receiving it's makeover, but we are really pleased to have opened the doors on our new space this weekend. The much larger (4 times the size!) floor space means we have a whole range of new products to share.
Here's a preview:
YB Brand ambassador Ruby is on door greeting duty today.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported us at 189 Bondi Road, We could not have made the move without you!
We are really excited to announce that we are moving house, Thanks to the huge suport we have had from our Bondi locals, we have already outgrown our little shop at 189 Bondi road. From Wednesday April 17 we will be trading from 221 Bondi road, Just one block closer to the beach from our current location and on the corner of Imperial Avenue.
YB will re open with a whole range of new products, including new furniture pieces, cushions, artworks, ceramics, lights and more for kids too!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us since we launched in September 2012. We look forward to bringing more unique furniture and homewares to Bondi.
Today it's the launch of "A place called home" by stylist Mr Jason Grant.
Jason is Bondi local (after moving from sunny Melbourne several years ago). He's a regular at yellow bungalow and is always on hand to offer us some style advice for the store, or recommend new products, there's no denying we are huge fans of his relaxed coastal style.
When we first learned Jason was creating his first style book, we were excited beyond belief! Our only other book in the store is from another friend Karen McCartney who is responsible for giving Jason his break in the industry. Now 50/60/70 and 70/80/90 by Karen and A place called home by Jason sit side by side at yellow bungalow.
Jason's first book is like receiving a years worth of interior style mags all at once! his approach is not to present house after house, but instead his book is laid out by spaces and the pages (all 270+) are filled with insider style tips and style ideas from Jason.
HUGE congrats Mr Jason Grant!
Stay up to date with everything Mr Jason Grant by joining his loyal blog and instagram followers.
]]>While we are open all easter long weekend, we know you have time on your hands, so get yourself onto Pinterest or download their mobile app and follow us.
Here are a few of our all time favourite houses. All images are from Pinterest.
now is the perfect time to get your green thumb on, channel your inner Don Burke (for the oldies) or Brendan Moar ( for the younger crowd) and head down to the local garden shop for a sticky. We are big fans of plants that dont require much love, and that stay green all year round, Yes we are talking about succulents!
So easy to look after and almost impossible to kill, Succulents give you green love both inside and outside, and are perfect for renters with balconies, simply pick it up and take it with you when you move!
YB have just received a stack of new colour pots from our friends at garden creative in Melbourne. These awesome planters add colour and a sense of fun to your living space, balcony, kitchen, bathroom, kid's room or bedroom.
Available in sea, burnt orange, white, red and (ofcourse) yellow, these pots are guaranteed to keep you smiling when the weather turns.
Happy gardening!
Check out this awesome idea from Apartment Therapy
If you are new to the neighbourhood, welcome! or if you have been here awhile and are now settling down we've put together this list of essential stuff for living in Bondi.
1. The Bondi candle, made by a local soy candle lover- Firefly soy candles
2. Double sided cushions by The Print Society- Change your style and your mood in one flip!
3. Macrame Hanger and colour pot by Creative Garden- You really can't live in Bondi without this!
4. One of our most popular products is the little Ricco lamp, Stylish and unique, he comes in 4 different colours.
All of these products are available in the yellow bungalow online store, or drop in and see us at 189 Bondi Road.
If you are brave enough to battle the crowds this weekend, come down to Tasman Street in Bondi to see what Amity+Phil, Mark+Duncan, Josh+Jenna and Dan+Dani have achieved. We are most excited to see Dan+Dani's concrete floor, a stroke of genius on their behalf!
YB is open 10am-4pm all weekend if you feel inspired after visiting The Block, come in and see us at 189 Bondi Road.
If you are not in Bondi, you can still see what's new at yellow bungalow in our online store.
Having a space to think allows you to work more effectively, Trying to sound intelligent on a conference call while not bumping the kettle off the stove makes no sense! Allocating a space for a desk means you can effectively "go to work" without leaving home.
New Nordic desk $1,500
Most office spaces are full of light, either though large glass windows or an abundance of overhead fluro lights. Having the right amount of light means you dont strain to read your documents, either online or on paper. An overhead light and a desk lamp for concentrated light will help you work.
Ricco desk lamp $49 (Available in Black, White, Red, Yellow)
One of the benefits of working at home is the home comforts, so grab yourself a throw blanket, a cushion, your favourite tea cup, call the dog or the cat to sit with you and relax into work.
The Print Society Cushions and Worldweave Herringbone Rug
Surround yourself with things you love, Pick up a pinboard and add pictures that make you smile, use inspiring books to keep yourself motivated and play some music that allows you to think.

Yellow Bungalow is about to appear on The Block All-Stars in an upcoming episode! Recently one of the All-Stars popped in for a little shopping, It was completely un announced to us and we were in the middle of a magazine photo shoot! we had the store turned completely upside down and had about 15minustes to get it looking ready for TV!

For us, our obsession is fast becoming 1970's Italian ceramics, lamps, plates, vases, bowls even ashtrays!

These classic pieces fit so well into the mix at YB and you had better be quick if you would like one, as after they debuted on Facebook and Instagram we have received requests from all over for these!
We will keep our eye's out for more, if you have a piece of furniture you are looking for, just let us know via home@yellowbungalow.com.au and we will be happy to help you find it!
