Elegance and possibilities for the Coast!

Have you ever tried on some antique jewellery and felt its energetic contribution or experienced the difference drinking water out of a solid silver goblet and pitcher? Welcome to ‘Antiques and Possibilities’, a new creative space in Peregian Beach, where you can experience so much more than beautiful antiques.

Access Consciousness co-creators Simone Milasas and Christopher Hughes have opened this space for you to leisurely explore 100 square metres filled to the brim with carefully curated collections of the finest international and local antiques, arts and jewellery.

“Some people have this idea that an antiques store is just teacups that your granny kept in the back of a china cabinet forever, that no one seemed to really want. But what we are doing is so much more than that,” explains Christopher.

Antiques and Possibilities will offer beautiful fine pieces of art antiques and jewellery, individually crafted, and of the highest quality for true elegant living.

Having established themselves as well-respected treasure trove collectors of sophisticated finds, bringing history and elegance to every home, Christopher says their latest venture will not disappoint.

“Visitors can expect to be delighted by many luxurious and historically significant items. Right now, for example, we have a pair of Louis the 16th French gold guild chairs with hand embroidered Chinese silk upholstery,” says Christopher.

Simone Milasas has an eye for possibilities and snapped up the retail space saying the shop is positioned in a thriving spot of Peregian Beach.

“The store is located in the village square, which is this pumping, vibrant, buzzing space. It’s very different in comparison to our other stores located in Brisbane. It has an air of luxury and elegance, but is also super relaxed,” Simone explains.

“We’re finding people who would usually visit Noosa are also coming to this area now, because we have a growing variety of great retail shops and restaurants.”

Simone says opening a store during a pandemic doesn’t feel ambitious, instead it was a fun opportunity to create something special and meaningful for the greater community.

“So many people are now saying we need to get smaller, we have to shut down to weather these economic times, but we’re going big. We’re not going to buy in to the limitations of this reality.

“The name, ‘Antiques and Possibilities’, encompasses everything we want the shop to be. We will connect with local businesses and collaborate with experts to create really unique experiences for the community and visitors to enjoy. From hosting a Gents’ Club, to wine tastings, and workshops, we see so many possibilities here.”

Christopher says the space also offers an opportunity to educate. “We’ll be providing educational workshops so that people can identify quality, and understand different periods and styles available. People can also learn style tips on how to include antiques into their living spaces.”

This will be Chris and Simone’s third antiques store in Queensland, with two sister stores located in Brisbane.
