The Villa


Here are some purple pages in the journal...  I weakened and unpacked a box with paints in it! No staying power!

Our new home will be a Villa ...no photos yet!  It is three bedrooms with french doors off the main bedroom, an open plan living/dining space and a nice spacious kitchen.  A bathroom and laundry too, of course!  We will have a screened-in north facing sunroom (the best aspect when you're down under), a few patio areas, a garage and a utility area out the back for the clothes line etc. 

There is a garden out the front that will be mostly maintenance free.  After having such a big house and garden here, we are looking forward to spending our time doing other things, so this is a good thing. 
Our garden will now be in tubs ... herbs & vegetables, geraniums, fig trees and a couple of clivea's.

The property is on one level, so goodbye stairs too!  There is a large, vacant tract of land opposite us, so at the moment, it is a pleasant outlook. .  Just a few more weeks to go!

  1. How exciting to be moving! Your new place sounds wonderful - and I can totally relate to single story living! I grew all sorts of fruit and veg in containers - you'll have a great time.

    Love your purple journal pages! My favorite color.

  2. Patti in the photos your new kitchen looks identical to your current one - same LO and everything, even about the same size, amazing! It is much much better to grow stuff in containers, far less back breaking and knee hurting LOL
