I loved the feel of this home.
They are both located in Kew, Melbourne,
about 15mins from the city.

European grandeur comes to Florence! From the moment you set eyes on this stunning home you'll know its something special.

This is a beautiful WA home,

The owners obviously had eclectic taste.


That is a pretty neat looking hallway!

AND here's the Master Plan!

AND here's what the Agent said about it!

MAGNIFICENT PLANTATION STYLE MANSION

Words fail to adequately capture the supreme quality and exquisite taste presented by this magnificent plantation style residence. Set in 1275 sqm of immaculate landscaped gardens, it emanates an air of majestic colonial grandeur, with all the warmth of a classic family home.
Soaring high ceilings (3.3m on both floors), wide jarrah floor boards, graceful archways and archetypal wooden shutters all lend themselves to the unique charm of the period, infused with a unique contemporary edge the discerning admirer of art will truly appreciate. Superbly crafted to accommodate a large family, the home features an open floor plan of generous proportions, with a multitude of living and dining areas offering a range of options for relaxing or entertaining. An expansive chefs kitchen with an abundance of storage leaves nothing to be desired and a large study offers the perfect environment for working from home. The residence also comprises 5 large bedrooms, all with built in robes, and a total of 3 stunning bathrooms plus an additional powder room. The decor of the bathrooms is inspiring. Backing onto Cottesloe Gold Course, the home is set against a stunning pastoral backdrop at the rear, whilst commanding fabulous City views from the front. Shady wrap around verandas and balconies of generous proportions (2.5m plus) present a delightful place to enjoy this vista, whilst bathing in the surrounding atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. On inspection you are guaranteed to be astounded at the fine craftsmanship, time and passion that has gone into making 49 Mayfair Street one of the finest residences in both Mount Claremont and the surrounding suburbs. It is both a pleasure and a privilege to offer it to the marketplace.

New Farm luxury

The way Brisbane River should be.

Of course mother nature has been running a muck
with the Brisbane River of late,
and our hearts go out to all who have suffered as a result,
specially those who have lost a loved one in the recent floods.

Donna and her son Jordon Rice were buried today,
a mother and son (13yo) who were swept away in country Toowoomba
when a rope they were hanging onto waiting for rescue, snapped.
The rescuer had only rescued the younger brother Blake,
at the insistance of Jordan at the time.


This is an exert from Jordan's brother Chris' (22yo) eulogy which
he gave today at their funeral.

If you are a mum, this will be hard to read with dry eyes.

"You were so shy, always hanging off Mum," he said.

"You were petrified of water, heights and even the dark.

How wrong was I - here you go losing your life

from one of your biggest fears to save your little brother.

"You made me so proud.

What you did took heart, courage and love.

"You're my little hero. I love you Weedsy."

********************************

This New Farm luxury apartment,
on the Brisbane River,
is on
the ground level with it's own pool and river views.

A truly divine fit out, extensive use of gray and timber,
reminiscent of the glamour look, which I love!



I am so in love with geometric rugs like this one, right now,
I've been trying to locate one to buy,
but I'm struggling with that atm in Melbourne!




What gorgeous fit out of a modern day study/office.


I think the bedrooms are contemporary quintessential decorating!


A fantastic use by the designer of various mediums in the bathroom,
stone, tile and timber.
