Here is our new house. The house of many decks. And remember how I told you that we have a spa and that it is really ugly and that it has to go?
Now you can see what I was talking about
And finally; We have a beast in residence.
The Supermatic! Too tired and covered in grime. Will try and write more tomorrow.
I love the colors of the house. And you could keep the spa and paint it the same shade of green as the house OR turn it into a garden area!
Congratulations on being a homeowner.
Happy Birthday, Claire! If you post, I’ll probably comment again, but I just wanted to wish you a great one. (my birthday’s today, too, which is why I remembered
Have fun today!
With the hot tub covered up and some sprucing up – that spa would make the best play stage for kids ever! Even as a hot tub (which I’m not big on) I think it has potential. Looks like it was made well at least.
Your house is too cute – look like it should be by the ocean someplace warm. =)
I’m waiting excitedly for pictures of what you’ll be doing to this place! And the Supermatic? Two ovens? I’m so envious…. and good luck with the cleaning
So nice! Good luck with the new house, and all the cleaning and painting. Definitely must remove the old “spa”.
What a beautiful home!!! You must be so excited!
hooray! this is the cutest house ever. i can’t wait to see what you do with it and how it lights up with you and your little family living inside of it. congratulations!!
Congratulations guys, that is so exciting. Best of luck with it. Hope it brings you many hours of joy and happiness.
Wow Claire how lovely – my bro has just bought his first home (a cute weatherboard cottage too) and is madly reno-ing. He’s having heaps of fun putting his stamp on it, and I hope it all goes well for you too!
WoW!, what a beautiful house! You must be so thrilled.
OMG! I LOVE your house!! The trellis is great and the color scheme is way-cool! My mom has a trellis with grape vines growing all over it. Lovely.
OMG..I lived in a rental house in Glenhuntly for about 10 years…and it had an oven just like that. Oh the memories. It was a beast, but she and I could make the best sponge cakes in the world! Luckily a 90yr old woman owned and lived in the house prior to our renting it, and the oven was sparkling like new when we moved in.
When too many decks are barely enough!
Congrats on the new house Claire! We just bought our first home today and it’s so nerve-racking/exciting/crazy mortgage omg! But we love our house and know it’ll all be okay, and I’m sure it’ll be great for you too.
Delurking to say that your house is DEAR, and it suits you so well – the colors, the fun design, everything (okay, except the spa)! Enjoy!
How did you find a house as cute as you? You never cease to amaze me.
Congratulations on the house, we acquired a jacuzzi with our first house too, and we never use it. How do I buy a pear?
Just dreaming of wisteria and honeysuckle all over the trellis, and somehow, the idea of lots of potted plants on decks seems like more fun and more approachable and re-arrangeable and easier than just a flat yard.
Nice, nice, nice.
And I side with the spa-likers. Potted plants, a few cushions… heaven. Though I’m sure I wouldn’t want to deal with the cleaning and the pH and the whatnot, there are not a lot of better ways to beat winter blues than to sit outdoors in a hot tub on a cold night.
Lovely house. You must be very excited!.. and busy! I’d say don’t demolish the spa area entirely. I’d kill for a hot tub myself. Happy decorating.
Home..hum..sweet home…enjoy your house. The spa?, think of remodeling…paint it, or add some other deco elements. You are very creative…make a wish! That will help to make something out of it

Congratulations!
yep…awesome looking house..cat wait to see more pictures.I can see a bottle of champagne and a dip in the spa after Amelia goes to bed….maybe???
BEAUTIFUL-
