It is a cute refurbished cottage in greater Melbourne.
It has a HUGE grassed area for the kids to run and play in.
It has high ceilings and huge bare walls that I will cover with framed photos and art very, very soon.
It has a hills hoist clothesline.
The surrounding neighbourhoods are full of playgrounds and historical buildings
I love this purple door
It is not in India
It is, however, very bloody cold! But I’m smiling as I freeze my butt off, so it’s ok.
Also, I can’t have the dishwasher, washing machine and dryer going at the same time or it blows a fuse. – That’s ok too.
The gas heater in the living room interferes with the TV.. that’s ok too… we will find a different power point or something.
Most importantly, it is a house, in Melbourne, not India, and I am home.

Wow, Toushka what a lovely home! So glad you’re back safely. And I hope you enjoy every bit of the settling in process. Cover those walls with beautiful things! (PS Did you end up getting a place in our neighbourhood?) xx
I did Deb! So we’ll have to meet up. Maybe you, me and Shae and Kate can go out for dinner one night – any excuse!
Sounds fabulous!
Toushka , welcome HOME – wow it looks so lovely . I definitely recommend meeting up with Deb she is GOLD and a treasure to spend time with !
Thanks Trish! I’ve heard only good things about Deb too.
welcome home and glad you found a nice house. Even if it is slightly eccentric from the sounds.
Sounds like a great place to live… even with a few small hiccups! Enjoy! x
Oh I so love Melbourne! Your house sounds so cute! Love the idea of decorating the walls
If there was one place that I would love to settle down in, it would be Melbourne ~ so much culture in one city.
Woot! You has house! How excitement!
I love those lights and the door
I keep meaning to take a picture of my beautiful red front door, but then I get distracted by holidays, reading blogs and feeding children.
Glad to have you back!
