Memory Lane of Ascot Vale

We're closed today Public Holiday, and open tomorrow 10 am to 2 pm. A slightly shorter Saturday so we can make it home to watch the game!

As a Swans (South Melbourne) / Essendon / Collingwood motley crew, we don't have any skin in tomorrow's game, but we hope it's a great game nonetheless!

Yes, there’s a construction site next door on Regent Street right now. No, it hasn’t changed how easy it is to visit us! There's still plenty of parking nearby, and we’ll always offer to help you to carry your purchases to your car.

Mt Alexander Road out the front has free 2P parking until 4pm (it’s a clearway after that!), There's usually more 2P spots on the other side of the road usually, available from 9:30am. If you’re happy to walk half a block, Regent Street has untimed parking on one side. Regent & Bank Streets both have plenty of 2P, just steer clear of Bank Street at school pick up time.

Any questions before you visit: ask below, DM us or give us a call

It's a delicate balance to find modern lighting that still feels like home when renovating or restoring a period home.

Our lighting selection includes high quality options from Telbix Australia to bridge the gap between old and new, combining neat modern design with old world charm. You can light up your home with vintage character without compromising on modern performance.

As a proud Telbix stockist, we can work with you to find lighting that suits the character and function of your space, from solid brass coach lights to elevate your entryway to textured glass table lamps to structured pendants for your kitchen bench in classic antique gold or chrome finishes.

Contact us or visit our Ascot Vale showroom with your ideas or plans. We can help to select and coordinate your lighting, alongside our architectural hardware range.

When you're styling, not everything has to match 💭
Mixing hardware finishes and blending tones is a way to make your space feel unique.

Hepburn Hardware has released these lovely new backplates in Acid Wash Brass, Antique Bronze and perennial favourite Satin Nickel. You can see them in different eye-catching combinations here, and on display in our showroom.

These lightly curved new 'Clover' levers are hot off the forge, available in the same three finishes. Balancing aesthetics with ergonomics, these levers feel great to hold, and are crafted to patina and age graceful over time for a unique, lived-in look.

There’s a lot more to a front door than the handle…

When each element is chosen with care, the result is an entrance that feels considered from the outside in.

Here’s a detailed rundown of what goes into it: lever or pull, lock & latch types, through to the finishing details that give a front door its character.

After decades of these conversations, we’ve learned a thing or two and we love helping people get this right.
