I live in a pretty incredible area - in Montreal, It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with 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 are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one or two homes that are for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here!
On occasion I'll showcase beautiful homes in other areas - countries - continents - the one thing most of them will have have in common will be their age - because I love old homes with stories to tell, join me won't you?

I thought we'd head out to Newfoundland this week - I've never been there - and though I've always heard how beautiful it is - I never realized just how spectacular it really was until I started doing a little research for this post!!!
There's only one listing to show - because I wanted you to see at least one interior - but really I wanted you to see this magnificent province!!!

I'd love to know the history of the families that have lived in this house - the men of the house most likely made their living from the sea - I imagine songs being sung - and red cheeked children running in from school.
I imagine hard times - because Newfoundland has had their share - but I also imagine perseverance and
a fierce pride.
I imagine strong folk - salt of the earth - friendly - red hair and freckles on smiling faces.
I imagine a Mom - with an apron on - curls being blown around her face - hanging laundry outside.
I imagine pots of chowder on the stove - a fiddle playing - feet stomping - and love - a lot of it.
I imagine a bedroom room window open - and breezes swaying old lace curtains -
I imagine the ocean singing a lullaby with promises of another day of beauty.
I imagine difficulties that are surmounted, families that are closerthanclose and strangers being welcomed with open arms.
I imagine..................a childhood spent as close to Heaven as you can while feet are planted firmly on rugged
beautiful soil.
I imagine a life lived in complete harmony with nature.
And it makes me want to visit.

I suppose if this were part of your natural pallette, you'd certainly be inspired to add color to your world I'm sure...............
Almost sacred isn't it?
Wouldn't these make the most amazing art work?
They also have the most incredible tourism ads I've ever seen
Please take a moment to watch?
You don't have to visit me for the next month - because I think I'll have taken up far too much of your time
after you've watched them -
But really they're poetry -
Whoever creates these is an absolute genius........................
Turn your volume up!!!
They're only a minute each - enjoy the magic of Newfoundland!!!
Can't wait to hear your feedback on these ads :)
