Up

Posted on Mon, 2 Sep 2013 by midcenturyjo

 

Up under the eaves sits an urban pad just right for inner city single’s living. Light streams into this warehouse conversion, bouncing off white walls and polished concrete floor. Small but not too bijou for entertaining with a weighted wall of glass and steel that opens up to the outdoor courtyard. Add a little of your own personality and you’ll have a stylish inner city base. Close to the action but safe and sound up under those aeves. Link here while it lasts.

When you don’t mind the graffiti

Posted on Mon, 26 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

When does your real estate agent beg you not to paint over the graffiti on the side of your house? When it’s good, really good. An otherwise unremarkable house for sale in Collingwood, Melbourne with artwork by DOES, Adnate and Sirum. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking staid facades

Posted on Fri, 16 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

It never ceases to amaze me what hides behind the staid facades of Melbourne terraces. A large soaring wall of glass and a fresh and friendly open plan living area. The light must be lovely. The perfect spot for a morning coffee and the newspapers. Link here while it lasts.

I want a barn with blue shutters

Posted on Tue, 13 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

Sometimes I hate real estate stalking. Sometimes it just makes me mad. Mad with jealousy. I want a barn with blue shutters. Old timber and quaint doors and soaring ceilings and a big fire place. I want a claw foot bath and an old vintage sink. I want to live in a quaint country town in a street called Wombat. I want this barn…. full of all my things. Lend me some money please? I’ll let you stay in the “guest wing”. Link here while it lasts.

Home is where the art is

Climb the stairs from the bluestone lane way in Richmond, Melbourne. Certainly can’t miss the street number. From the ground floor all the way up to the heated pool on the third this modern townhouse is a great example of contemporary inner city style. What would normally leave me screaming for more… more personality, more layering, more sympathetic photos… is saved  by what I always love in a home… more art. Although I am suspicious that this is styled for sale and not an actual home (no fridge in the kitchen) I’m sure we can figure something else to keep the drinks cold when we party on the roof during the open for inspections 😉 Link here while it lasts.
