Stalking the beginning of summer
Mon, 24 Sep 2012
The day is warm but I know the breeze will be rolling in across the sea soon. I push the bifolds back and walk across the deck. Arms stretched out across the rails I arch my aching back and turning, take in the open plan living before me. I can't believe all this is mine. Subtropical style, sophisticated beach house meets casual, modern living. The dark floor boards ground the white as white walls while dashes of colour pull my eyes here and there. Everything is lovely but nothing is too precious. In the trees outside the cicadas start to hum. There is a scent of summer, gum leaves and sea salt. I close my eyes and smile sadly. It's all a daydream. I click away from the real estate site I have been stalking and open again the spreadsheet that has been taunting me at work all morning. If you too want to dream about this 1920's Avalon, Sydney home the link is here.

So beautiful. Beginning of summer in Australia, beginning of fall in Europe. Wish I was there now.
Most of the time I forget I'm reading a blog from down under. The Autumnal Equonix occurred this past Saturday morning and I was glad
I must point out that I'm Canadian so this blog hails from the tropics and the arctic. :-)
Whatever be the season, I want that orange flower vase for my home, i heart it. :)
Love the floors. absolutely gorgeous. Although i don't really enjoy all the wicker furniture. :/
