Vintage Shop Fronts

We love having an original vintage shop front at Flywheel.  Originally built for the town bakery, it has a beautiful timber frontage with large paned windows that we love creating different themed displays in, that are hopefully enticing to passing shoppers. 


Here is just a few of our window displays so far....

Paris themed this week

We have discovered that we are certainly not alone in our love of vintage shop fronts.  We have just recently created a Pinterest page for Flywheel, where we can indulge in our favourite loves and inspirations, including divine vintage shop fronts around the world: 





How visually enticing and delightful are some of these architectural gems?  Please be sure to check out our Pinterest page for more vintage shop fronts and our other inspirations, but be warned Pinterest can be very addictive!

  1. You've got great antiques in your Pinterest page! I'm sure you also have some of those stuff in your store. I read in Tammy's blog that you bought the French paper books. Are they also for sale or did you just use them for your letterpress? I wonder if I can still grab some of those paper books from your place. :)
