Palatial House Love...

Amongst my increasing addiction to pinning - great to do when waiting for pretty much anything... I recently came across a couple of wonderful Pin boards that I have now started following, see pinterest for 'Alex Corvin' pin board - 'Home', and Suzanne Boy,  and wanted to share these stunning Palatial Homes with you that I have added to my 'House Love' Pin board HERE Palatial Living Pinterest - you can also follow my pins via Twitter @PalatialLiving

 

I'm sure if you too subscribe to the Palatial Living aesthete and ethos that you'll fall in lobe with these houses too!

Enjoy,

Early Mid Week 'Estate' House Snoop...Historical, Palatial & Political

Actually named 'Bolton Grange'

A special Mid Week House Snoop sees us look at a Historical significant Palatial Estate home that also has a Political ingredient thrown in for good measure!

As seen recently on ABC's satirical comedy 'At Home With Julia' based on fictional accounts of our current Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, is the magnificent Estate home located on Lucinda Ave Wahroonga made to look like the 'The Lodge' [the official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia]. I passed a heap of set vans, trucks and people several weeks ago whilst walking home and was surprised to link it together last night when watching the very funny Australian Political satire 'At Home with Julia' a comical look at our current Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard and her partner Tim Mathieson at home in various hilarious send-up domestic wordly situations!

Be sure to tune in - or if you can't do that for the 4 part series on Wednesday evenings then catch episodes on ABC'c iTV via their webpage HERE.

Enjoy,

Ooops - Very Late Birthday Wishes!

Yes this is super tardy for Birthday Wishes to my sweet, smarty darling sister Felic, whose birthday was last week on the 18th August! I have been AWOL from Palatial Living - business development, although she's been cruising the good life at Lake Como Italy with her lovely husband at a friend's home - so I doubt she's had the time to check into Palatial Living - whilst she's been actually living the Palatial Life! All the same for those out there that may think I am a terrible sister I did try calling her numerous time but to no avail with reception. So presents will have to arrive to their London-based pad when they get back home!

So here's a very loving, although belated, Happy Happy Birthday Wish to my 'little' sister Felic - who will have a phenomenal year ahead of her as she embarks on a new fabulous role with a great firm & maybe house hunting in London town with her politically astute & well-versed husband!

Lots of love honey bun - Miss you from Australia - come visit us soon x
