Hello

This blog is my *virtual magazine* of stunning homes in Australia currently for sale. The homes are not necessarily perfect (like in a magazine shoot) so you need to forgive some obvious mistakes, and just enjoy seeing how others live, perhaps even take some inspiration from here n' there! (if you see your home here, take a bow because I search high and low before I finally decide to post a home for my blog!) THANKS FOR DROPPING BY...

This is an interesting home, obviously very
talented owners with a lot of style!



Beautiful facade colours, and entry area below.



Very daring bold colours in the lounge area,
and dining room stripes to boot (below).



This is the casual sitting area by day (above)
and by night (below), just in case you wanted to see both!


This is lovely to me.
I could spend many days working in an office like this one.


Obviously, the window over the bench on the right (above)
opens right up, and becomes like a bar/entertaining area (below).
I think that looks fantastic!



This is an interesting ensuite, looks like an addition to the home,
by the look of the doorway (old exterior doorway??)
Funny looking basin (space poor I guess!)

Such pretty bedrooms...
I really love the way they have painted above the
picture rail in a bold colour!



Space saving cellar!

Outdoor/entertaining areas in this home are spectacular.

I love the cellar with the spiral staircase too! I mean, 1500 bottles? That's amazing! It's also very stylish, proving that the cellar is a great combination of beauty and efficiency. For me, that's the whole point of using spiral staircases: for aesthetics and space saving. They are such an eye candy and they save a lot of space compared to the regular ones. They are also suitable both indoors and outdoors. We have an outdoor spiral staircase by our backyard, which leads to the balcony of the master bedroom. Whenever we have guests, it's the first thing that they see, and they admire the custom railings.
