a few more snaps of my river cottage

My labour of love

it's been a little over a year since the renovations have been complete. 

as far as cute white cottages go, for me my home is 9/10 with its exterior. 

the only other thing i would like is a nice swing seat on the front porch. 

love coming home to this house. my little white river cottage

this little workers cottage might be the next project

The roofing is not tiled. It is actually tin/metal roofing tile sheeting. Interesting

The back boundary is 1m from the back of the house. Also interesting

The exterior of the house is vinyl sheeting. Hmmmm maybe

The front exterior wall is hardy plank. Could it get any worse?

 

But, it still has potential and the position is great. I'd have to do a building inspection to see what is under the vinyl cladding.

And then the fun starts. Gardens and paint. The gutters and exterior needs to be spray-painted off white and all the balustrading painted white. The green, or all bar the roof, needs to go asap.

Plant some pleached hedges, ad some Chinese star jasmine and a few native gardenias. Then a few bulbs for spring and it will be home sweet home. 

The house looks a little awkward on the block currently as there is about 4m between the left hand side of the house and the boundary, and about 7m on the right hand side. It isn't positioned well on the block so any planting would have to be symmetrical with the boundary so that the house can be repositioned later on the block.

Now all I have to do is buy it.

sold my little home

With 15 bidders it was on...or should I say it went off.

All that hard work paid off. And can say it was the best I've seen my little cottage look.

And the painting has finished

That is one cute white cottage. I ended up getting a professional painter in as I would take 15 years to finish.  Unfortunately they have had to cut the wisteria back and the paint spray has damaged the hedges but both with grow back.

And now I have new tenants moving in. I don't get to live in my home now it is renovated. Isn't that always the way!

joseph eichler american mid century modern homes

whilst google surfing, i came across a real estate agency site in america which has some really great ideas for blogging about real estate, however, what was even better, was the mention of eichler homes. i had no idea what this was referring too, yet i assumed an architect of mid century modern style homes based on the images that were also on the page. upon googling, this is what i found. stunning mid century modern homes. not so many flat roofs, pitched instead with a lot of floor-to-ceiling windows and interior atriums.but still 100% to my liking. give me more!

turns out joseph eichler was a post-war merchant builder who built about 11,000 homes from the 1940s through to the 1960s in northern california.

the above picture is of eichler fairbrae community center, in sunnyvale dated 1962, which i found on a website called michaeljohnparker.com.

more of my favourite home. still...after all these years.

i've always struggled to find much out about this house since i saw it in a vogue living magazine in the mid 2000s. when i search google to find out more, i land back on my blog! quite funny really.

i do know it was designed by 24 year old natalie raw, who is obviously not 24 years old now. according to google, she now works for architecture firm hulena architects limited.

more photos can been seen on the pavilions website here

gifts for my real estate clients.... buyers and sellers

my ray white peregian beach office on david low way, peregian beach, on the way to noosa heads has the most stunning florist shop right next door. kristy opened the shop some months ago, and despite my initial thoughts that no business could survive for very long in a small 30m2 (a guess) space. i've been proven wrong. kristy's business is bustling with a devoted following. 

amongst that following is myself and my colleagues. whether it be our receptionist buying a present for a family member, our office buying a bunch of flowers for a staff member or an asian inspired orchid arrangement as a gift for a buyer or seller upon the successful sale or purchase of their property. 

for what ever occasion.... the ray white team are converts. 

drop in and visit kristy at the white magnolia on david low way, peregian beach. 

p.s. how adorable are theres orchids. not sure if you can get these in australia.

a splash of colour never hurts... but it is bold!

some days you just need a splash of colour. something a little brighter. there is no chance of a 'bad mood' waking up to this!

this home could be yours.....sunrise road, doonan on the northern sunshine coast of queensland

i have been so busy with work since i moved from brisbane to the noosa on the sunshine coast in january to run three ray white real estate offices. one great thing about being a real estate agent is the homes you get to see! some are just like every other home, some have some cool features and some just make you so jealous that you are the agent, not the buyer.

the perfect example is this home at 198 sunrise road doonan which my partner is marketing with my assistance. the home goes to auction in september 2012. call either john stamp from ray white noosa hastings street on 0423 042 787 or myself, rebecca geldard, on 0409 721 671 for inspections. serious buyers only please. lookers welcome at the open homes.

what a home. take a look:
