You had me at hello

Posted on Tue, 25 Nov 2014 by midcenturyjo

You are definitely no wallflower. You are just a bit loud and proud. Always a happy face on display it’s what’s hidden within that has me wondering. What are you hiding? I bet you’re warm and embracing, modern but old fashioned in your hospitality. I know you used to be a shop house but you’ve had a bit of work done recently. Please let me in. I need to get to know you more. Hello House by Melbourne based OOF! Architecture.

Sitting in the window

I love a window seat. Especially when it is on the fringe of a kitchen like this. Lean back. Relax. She’s making you a coffee I’m sure. By Preston Lane Architects.

Stalking leftovers

Posted on Sat, 22 Nov 2014 by midcenturyjo

Summer hasn’t even started and it is so, so very hot here. I’m sitting in my oven of an office with a ceiling fan twirling above and sweat puddling on my keyboard. If only the real estate market was as hot. It’s time for my stalking leftovers and I’ve had to struggle to find these few. You see I’m fussy. Not quite right, bad photos, I need more photos please, house is amazing, furniture is deplorable! Can’t quite put my finger on it listings with something that has me nodding “yes”. It’s a mixed bag this week. There’s a church conversion, a great warehouse where everything inside including the plastic floating lotuses just has to go and a listing that leads with a teaser shot of an amazing old corrugated iron workshop but lists a slightly less dramatic modern apartment in the complex. You may even notice a few water themes in my stalking. Need to cool down. Click on the images to head to the listings. All via realestate.com.au.
