Here it is, instalment one, the top storey

View from the front door last week, more typically there would be a runner and a couple of cyclists and a few cars. We are on the other side of the street from these mansions and are much more modest in appearance. There is a great cliff /walk/ park beyond them.

Front door is to the left and this is the TV/music lounge which gets the morning sun.

Turning a little you can see the stairs to downstairs in the distance and to the left of that, is the kitchen. Stripes from the venetian blinds have turned the sofa into a zebra.


Getting the picture? Magically everything fits. I think we will be happy here.



Kitchen in all its glory, the stove has a booklet which is just as well as I couldn't figure out the symbols by Bosch.


View out the kitchen door to the morning sun deck.




Now you can see the afternoon sun deck with a familiar table and more plants are out there. We will go downstairs next time, just turn around a bit more.



Yep, room for these and the deck runs along to the end of the window.




The dining space.



So I have been standing pretty much in the middle of upstairs and showing you around. On the right is the telephone table which used to be in the hallway and is now opposite the front door. Cougar cardi at the ready with Crown Lynn treasures and opshop tray.
It has been described as 'cute' and 'pretty unique' by the SKY technician.
The upstairs part is a great space which works well, downstairs is a little curious and will be in the next instalment.
Probably some pix of the outside may be helpful too.

As I like to say at such times, but is certainly true in this case - "is not house, is home." It looks fantastic.
