Summer Oasis...

With hot summery weather upon us here in Australia I came across this fabulous room & oh I just love this sun room - it reminds me of a Queenslander [closed in] verandah brought to life with a fab mix contemporary & traditional furniture and colours .

What a gorgeous - cool & relaxing room to be in on a hot summer's afternoon.. just need a pitcher of cold lime water & a favourite mag. I love the floorboards painted in an azure blue hue which appears less stark and much easier on the eye than if painted white, by using this shade on the floor it also allows another accent colour to be incorporated into the soft furnishings & decor items...hmmm simply irresistible.

House Snoop...Queenslander Love at Camp Hill.

In my regular Palatial Living 'House snoops' I came across this gorgeous & lovingly restored Queenslander located in Camp Hill - just outside Brisbane [Queensland]. I am particularly fond of this home because of what appears to be a successful marriage of the old & the new - with all the contemporary living convenience we're used combined with the style & elegance of this building era.

The majestic elegance of "Fairfield" has been enhanced by a marvellous restoration of the original house, and a spacious brand new extension. Just completed, this residence is now a warm and inviting home, perfectly positioned on a superbly elevated 797 square metre block of North east facing land
Beautiful open wide verandahs - essential for cooling down & Australian living.

Leading to a resort style pool, water feature and a great pool deck for relaxing afternoons!

The brand new family living area boasts Bi-fold doors, opening to a fully covered and sheltered Al fresco kitchen and dining deck, featuring integrated BBQ and lots of storage.

Designed to provide luxury and great access to the dining terrace, Stone has been used on the benchtops, splashbacks and on the huge island bench. Joinery is fresh white Two Pac with plenty of storage and "Ilve" appliances, made in Italy, providing the Gourmet Entertainer's paradise.

Wide, polished timber floors feature throughout the home, and great care has been taken to blend the original with the new.

The original part of the home features a pair of magnificent stained glass front doors and original. Chandelier entry way in a dining space leads to a huge, stylish and contemporary kitchen.

"Fairfield" also boasts City and district views , and is only 5 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD. Camp Hill is a lovely leafy pocket of Brisbane [in Queensland Australia].
