Real Estate Stalking in ....Richmond,Vic

Living in a factory is kinda a cool idea - I love the idea of being able to convert an old factory into a home  - the sense of space the height and the use of the old materials - so this week I am moving to this old factor /warehouse in  Richmond...listed here while it lasts

Real Estate Stalking in ...Northcote, Vic

It is not always the house that catches your eye  - more often than not for me it is the furnishings, the whole package...listed here while it lasts - and concrete floors, still have a hankering for concrete floors!

Camping...

We spent the with weekend away with 6 families camping - between the 6 families there were 18 children, which included three sets of identical twins.  We are not a big camping family but we really enjoyed the weekend and it has got us thinking about getting some camping gear ourselves - we borrowed pretty much everything!  Let just say that next time round we will all check our equipment - the tent we borrowed would have been fantastic had it come with the necessary poles required to erect the tent- but luckily as a last chuck it in the car if might come in handy item we packed our three person dome tent- it was a comfortable weekend - if not a little chaotic as the single tent had no storage so we had to keep stuff in the car - but alas it was a great weekend.  So it got me thinking about our next camping trip....

MERRICK WATTS converted lolly factory

Envious, very very envious-  recently an inner city Fremantle warehouse was on the market - way way out of our budget  - but nonetheless  I dreamt of how we could convert it into a home  - so I was delighted to open the Real Living mag and find the home of Merrick Watts and his family - now I have super duper warehouse/factory envy!!!
(you can catch Merrick on ABC1 Tractor Monkeys  8pm - highly recommend the show!)

Beach Club Cottelsoe

Cottesloe in summer  -love it, great clean beaches, warm water and now  The Beach Club - well the old haunt has been done up - many a young adult weekend was spent at the Cott Beer Garden -  and now they have done the place up and it is all like adultish - nice place to relax with a friends and family and while away the spring and summer weekends.
Melbourne interior designers Heck Guthrie have done a great job on decking out the Club - check out their work here.

Mark Wilkinson - All I Ever Wanted

Funny how you find music - but Mark Wilkinson's song "Middle Ground" is currently the song on a coffee add - think it could be Nescafe'.  Loved that song so googled him and found a tone of songs  - in fact one year he  recorded a song a week on youTube.  Looks like he started as  busker on the streets of Sydney then youTube and as they say the rest of history.
