Customising and designing your own furniture online is all the rage right now and Retrojan is giving you the chance to design and win a retro-style sideboard.
It couldn’t be easier. Simply choose your body colour, then choose your doors. The doors are fully interchangeable so you can have fun mixing up colours or go monochromatic – make it yours!
The Moody sideboard on offer is the largest of 3 sizes available and worth $899.

Previously on Interiors Addict, I shared my top op shop finds. People often ask me what my secret is, so I thought it could be useful to give you my top 10 tips:
1. Don’t limit yourself to one area. Of course I have my favourite stores that usually deliver some kind of delight each visit, but when I have time, I travel all over Sydney, to the Blue Mountains and up to the Central Coast. Just because it’s in a nice area doesn’t mean there will be better stuff: cast your net wide!
2. Keep going back. The reason I tend to find great stuff is because I keep going back. Don’t be put off if you go somewhere and find nothing the first go, chances are you will if you are persistent. I tend to visit at least one store per week, even if it’s on my way home from work, I always find time to pop in.
3. Take your time. I took a girlfriend once and she scanned the room once and gave up, whereas I always scour every shelf and corner. I once found (and bought) an Hermes ashtray tucked up at the back of a bottom shelf amongst some cheap white plates. I paid $3…
This is great news! Smeg’s 50s-style refrigerator, which I have long coveted, and is rightly loved for its style as much as its colour, now has a big brother! Despite its good looks, the FAB28 was never the biggest or most practical fridge, especially for families. But the new FAB50 has about 75 percent more capacity.
Available in 3 colours – panna, silver and white – the beautiful vintage styling houses the very latest in refrigeration technology and has a generous capacity of 473 litres gross. Frost-free operation, multiflow ventilation, fast-freeze compartment, quick-chill crystal glass shelves and convenient 0°C chiller compartment are just some of the family-friendly features.
Every week, you ask me where you can buy things you’ve seen on The Block’s Sunday night room reveals. Well today I’m giving you the chance to win Matt and Kim’s gorgeous dining table, worth almost $4,000, from last night’s winning room!
It’s that simple. Plus, today (Friday 31 May) there’s an additional 10% off sale prices. So if you’ve been saving for a big ticket item, it might be time to pop in for a browse!
My favourite thing in store at the moment is the very Mad Men and aptly named Draper lounge. It was $2,299, now $1,599 (with an extra 10% off today only).
Everything (yes, everything) is on sale until 15 July. More details.
To celebrate the launch of its colourful Spring fashion and homewares, Country Road will have this cute retro caravan and models on customised Papillionaire bicycles outside the South Yarra store in Melbourne today (Saturday).
Those who visit the completely customised caravan, in this season’s neons and cool pastels, can pick up a new catalogue and be in with a chance of win one of 100 Country Road tote bags or 100 $25 gift vouchers. They’ll also be giving out treats like fairy floss and popcorn. I recommend a look at the new homewares range, especially the yellow chevron throw and grey cushions.
