Drive by drool

Do you remember this post last year when I took you all for a drive to see some of my fav houses in the area? Well I decided it's been too long between drive bys so here we go, buckle up...

I think this house is really old, I don't think it's a new house made to look old and how beautiful is the garden. This is SO up my alley!

Another one of a similar style but I think this one is a newer version. How nice is that path with the fountain in the middle and all those beautiful hedges. I just love shutters on houses don't you?

Another shutter delight! This French inspired house is a new build but done beautifully.


And next door to it is this one, no shutters but I certainly wont hold it against the house Ooooo La la!

Do you like the style of these houses?

As you can see from the sky in these photos it's overcast and COOL! YAY!
After 35+ temperatures all week I am loving this cool weather, ahhhhhhhhhhh! On Saturday night we took the mattress off the bed and put it in the lounge room and had a little sleepover in the lounge next to the air con it was so hot.

Have a great Monday everyone,

Come for a drive with me...

Buckle up, we're off to the shops with a little bit of 'house snooping' on our way :)

I love driving the back streets to the shops and drooling over the gorgeous old houses.. so I thought I'd take some sneeky snaps on my iPhone and share my favourite houses with you.

Mmmmm... I love this house! I think that's the original house on the right then they've built an extention and several car garages on the left. I just love the shutters and the fence with the hedge and Agapanthas - lovely!

This house looks like something out of a story book to me and I can also imagine people back when it was a new house, probably in the 30's or something walking out the front door in their beautiful outfits getting into their Jaguar which would be in a British racing green... anyone else see that?

My dodgy photo does not do this house justice. It's actually a massive house and that beautiful sandstone fence wraps right around the block. I can imagin the family there back in the 20's playing crocket on the front lawn in their white lawn outfits looking very dapper.

This one isn't an old house but a new one which I think has been done beautifully with no expense spared. I love the Grey/blue colour, the windows, the iron-work on the fence and I think I spy a conservatory room above the garage!!! Drool!

Ah, here we are at the shops, lets grab a coffee :)

I hope you enjoyed my little drive-by and if you liked this post there is plenty more eye candy I can snap in future.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments re my kitchen makeover yesterday. I'm glad you liked and appreciated my DIY work.

Have a great day,
