Prop.d Objects For Hire Store
I was reading about Prop.d (pronounced propped), a store which specializes in food styling props located outside of Melbourne, Australia and knew I had to share it on decor8. First of all, how cool is this idea? I love the thought of an objects-for-hire store, don’t you? Run by Glen Proebste who is a style director for the beautiful Inside Out magazine, which happens to be one of my top 5 favorite magazines in the world, and his business partner Rachael Hart, their huge and impressive collection of objects makes for the perfect stylist’s prop house and a little something called a dream come true for me. :)
Prop.d was founded by Rachael Hart and Glen Proebstel, two kindred artistic souls who met three years ago at a creative agency where they both worked together on both editorial and advertising projects. With a clever business idea in mind, they left the agency to launch Prop.d and these images are just a glimpse into their wonderful world of props, including surfaces that you rent — all what you can expect to find in their shop.
Curious to see more? You can find many inspiring objects on their website, which flaunts a stunning display of wares that you’ll no doubt love. Enjoy!

OMG Holly, thank you!!! I clicked on this post because I am a little prop hire obsessed at the moment for our wedding, and thought oh this is going to be a bit depressing, it will be an amazing place in the states or EU – but NO it’s in VICTORIA! Are you kidding me?! Thank you thank you. Amazing. Brilliant. Yaaaaaaaay!

These are beautiful images. If you like these, you may also like http://www.tinekhome.dk. I think her styling and the colour palette are quite similar.

I could spend many hours browsing a shop like that. And what a cool job it must be to shop for all of the interesting items that fill the shop.
