Stalking leftovers from my bed

Posted on Sat, 22 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

Please forgive me while I honk my nose, cough and splutter, moan and whine and tetchily demand copious cups of herbal tea. I’m in bed with a head cold or the flu or some life threatening disease… my husband’s life if he takes much longer with that lemon tea. I’m such a sad and sorry invalid. I may feel like I’m on death’s door but I can still stalk and when I’m sick I’m extra fussy. Not quite right, bad photos, I need more photos please, house is amazing furniture is deplorable or no furniture at all! Can’t quite put my finger on it listings with something that has me nodding “yes”. This week’s leftovers include a couple of 50s/60s gem, one in particular that is in a sorry state but oh the potential and some bookshelves up under the eaves crying out for books.

Stalking indecision

I really want to like this house. I know if I walked through the door I would be smitten. Love the green in the kitchen, the outdoor areas, the dining room (looking from there to the kitchen but not the other way) and the ensuite. Just hate the pictures. They’re putting me off. Anyone in Sydney want to sneak into this Palm Beach home and take better snaps for me? You know… one stalker to another. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking a fireplace

Posted on Tue, 18 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

I always like to see what people have hidden at the back of their houses. Extensions and additions give me unexplained pleasure when I’m real estate stalking. particularly when a modern design is hiding behind a traditional facade. And if this extension just happens to be a glass sided box with a killer futuristic fireplace? Then it’s a winner in my book. Prahran, Melbourne house for sale here while the link lasts.

Stalking leftovers

Posted on Sat, 15 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

Saturday again and you know the story. I’ve spent my spare moments flitting from real estate listing to real estate listing during the week. I’m a stalker but I’m fussy. Not quite right, bad photos, I need more photos please, house is amazing furniture is deplorable or no furniture at all! Can’t quite put my finger on it listings with something that has me nodding “yes”. This week’s leftovers include 4 apartments from a realty renovation show still with a few weeks left to run (no spoilers allowed… on the market but only showing those rooms revealed so far on TV)), a warehouse apartment that has been photographed badly but still shines through and a refreshing splash of green in a Paddington kitchen.
