House Update in Pictures

[ozchique]

After my last update, a few of you commented and messaged me about seeing some recent pictures of furnishings and additions my partner and I have added to our house since we moved in about 15 months ago.

So, without further ado

I love your home and the silk picture is beautiful. I love 2 story homes but can never live in one because I have permanently damaged knees.
You've certainly inspired me though. Thank-you so much for posting.

:) thanks for reading.

Sorry to hear about your knees :(

I have always lived in single storey homes so it was quite a challenge at first. So far, I've not found it too bad going up and down the stairs ( I think of it as exercise) but, it's so infuriating when I keep forgetting things and have to keep going up and down. THEN I get annoyed. Ha!

I've known since I was 24 that eventually I would have to have a double knee replacement and, as I am now 58, I think that I have done well.
Another friend who has just sold her 2 story home made it a policy never to go upstairs or downstairs unless she had something that needed to be moved in her hands. She, for example, would leave folded clothing on the stairs and carry it when she was next headed in the right direction.

Thanks, Mel. You always have such good photos.

Your home is lovely and your special touches - fruit bowl, Claude, hallway table, silk thread painting (beautiful), etc. - add your personalities. The tinted window are a great idea for heating-cooling and privacy. You don't have to draw the blinds. A walk-in closet. *sigh* Lucky you. :)

I wish I had the space you have and a garden but, as I don't, I'll enjoy both through your posts.

Hugs,
buzzie
