Stalking the old with the new
Wed, 7 Nov 2012
Today's second real estate stalking finds me pounding the virtual pavements of Armadale, Melbourne. A renovation and extension of a Tudor style period house has caught me eye. From its dark exterior and stylish garden to the sophisticated open plan living. Glass gym in the backyard anyone? Perhaps watching TV in the media room from the pool? I would love to see this home photographed sympathetically. Please, please, pretty please professional real estate photographers in Australia stop with the HDR over tweaked photos. We get it. You want a dramatic effect but it's like bad cosmetic surgery ... fake and unattractive. Link here while it lasts.

I love the colour of the walls in the main bedroom, can anyone help me identify it, please ?
Absolument magnifique !! certainement parmis les plus beaux décors vu jusqu'ici - Absolutely magnificient, one of the most beautiful decor I have seen
The furnishings and room set-ups are really dreadful. You have an ancient, grandmotherly dining room, a chic media room that seems off-kilter, an entry that's nothing but wasted space and money... but the residence itself is fabulous. Stripped and redressed, it would be marvelous.
