I WANNA live there Wednesday # 22

I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) 
Because there's days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Good morning all!  Think I've found another winner - 


BRIAN DUTCH - REAL ESTATE BROKER


30 AV. THORNHILL
Westmount
MLS: 10810524, Residential
4 bed - 3 bath
Straight out of the pages of Canadian House + Home, this impeccably well appointed home has been renovated to the highest standards. Situated on desirable Thornhill Ave, it features an exquisite new kitchen with the finest appliances, + 3 magnificent new bathrooms. The list of improvements goes on and on! Large private terrace, and a 2 car garage!
$1,498,000
 Step right up

come on in

if you'd like to take the grand tour
I love how this room is styled - the white back drop and the pops of color are just gorgeous!
but these next few photos - WOW

I painted my dining room the same way in my last house - black walls - white trim everywhere
still love how this color combo works

These windows are too die for - are they not?

speechless - sorry

that stove? that hood? that soup faucett? that backsplash?
love the microwave hidden out of view - love the marble


I can't tell you what this photo does to my heart - don't want to make anyone nervous
one more view before we move on anybody?

ok - time to head upstairs -


these people have gorgeous taste - just loving all the neutrals - and the striped cushions and upholstered bench
again loving those windows


















I think this one should stand all on it's own this week - I don't want to post another one.
I'm completely exhausted from jumping up and down in glee - 
and I seriously need to win the lottery because once again I've found my dream home
AND I think it's worth every single penny - in fact - I think this one is a steal considering how much some of the other homes cost that I've listed in the past!
What do you think?
Does it shine?

Happy Wednesday All !!!

It's ( STILL ) Christmas time in the city

The weather was unseasonably warm on the weekend - gorgeous really -
In under 2 weeks we went from a record breaking snow fall


to this





John and I decided to walk - a long walk - a 2 hour walk - with my camera in hand.....................
as the day progressed and twilight fell - the magic happened - Christmas hasn't left at all
I loved seeing that the city was lazily holding on to the prettiness ...................
It spoke to me -
And this is what it said

Welcome back - it's good to see you 




come stroll awhile


 we did this for you


enjoy the magic of the season


take a break - remember to breathe - to sit - to relax - to enjoy


you were too busy shopping and wrapping and cleaning and cooking and decorating - to take the time to notice 



we're not going anywhere just yet 



let us cast our magic upon you for awhile



take it all in



look in wonderment



let your heart sing



we decked the halls for you my friend



but you scurried here and there and never noticed



you forgot about us - the streets of your home - once you packed it all away



and it says


with every step I take


slow down   



you're going too fast

you've got to make the moments last




the way you once did - long long ago  - when every moment was a life time  





 
this year in particular, Christmas flew by far too quickly, did yours?



life shouldn't be a blur.....................
