I have discovered a wonderful blog and website caled retrorenovation.com, possibly the only interior design blog that urges you to hold onto your 1950s and 1960s pink sinks, tiles and bathtubs, and not replace them!

Vinnies Mitchell reopens!
That's the good news: The woman behind the counter explained it's like the factory outlet of op shops: the stuff that doesn't get sold comes here and what doesn't sell is compacted and sent overseas to sell.
( It was weird being back there)
The bad news?
At this stage they're only open during the week...
