Such a sweet little nook using an often overlooked space. Found while real estate stalking.

The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
‘Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!…..

Oops sorry got carried away there. Real estate stalking on a rainy weekend found this Malvern, Melbourne home. Cute as a button on the outside. Sophisticated on the inside. I’d ramp up the bedroom a little more but the bones are good. The mirror over the mantle is a modern take on a traditional piece. Can you spot the 2 TVs in the living areas. Summer and winter viewing? I hope not both at the same time. I’m also wondering if they ran out of money for window treatments. Perhaps they like a a simple finish.I’d love to see this house shot sympathetically. A good stylist, a good photographer, a magazine spread? Link here while it lasts.

A rainy day Saturday. It’s getting dark outside. I can hear the strumming of raindrops on my iron roof. My bone dry garden is sighing in relief as water runs down my hill. A glass of red wine in my hand and spaghetti sauce bubbling on the stove. Think it’s time for a quick blog surf before dinner. Life is kinda fine in my corner of the world. Keep safe. See you soon.

Salad sandwiches and real estate stalking for lunch today. I wish I had lived in a place as indie cool as this when I was younger. A great mix of classic mid century hip and an irreverent DIY approach. Don’t be fooled though. It’s  not a student house. The artwork and the prize retro pieces (like the atomica coffee machine) mean big bucks or savy shopping. Today’s house is in one of my favourite parts of Sydney, Redfern. It will of course sell for an obscene amount then be renovated into a sterile “contemporary meets heritage” montage  of big box catalogues and high end fittings. It has real estate “potential” written all over those walls. Shame. I kinda like it’s funky probably soon to be former self. Link here while it lasts.

… and Julia (Kim’s twin sister). Mickey couldn’t let today pass with telling you how much he loves you.
