mid-century and industrial design. This generous showroom houses a blend of vintage originals, collectable and customisable contemporary pieces.

One of the funkiest places around to down an ale or two, with some amazing food also available, Two Birds Brewing in Spotswood was first hatched in 2011 by Jayne Lewis and Danielle Allen and is Australia’s first female owned brewing company. With Jayne at the helm of the brewing, they have achieved national and international recognition for their craft beers.

The ever-cheerful Lisa and Lou at One in a Mill do what they love, sourcing and collecting vintage, industrial, Danish and retro furniture and collectables which fill their well-stocked and organised shed. They also repair, restore, reupholster and breathe new life into their pieces or yours.
