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?

A place I've always wanted to see and haven't been to yet is Barcelona - we worked with a lot of fabric mills there over the years and although John's been ( for business ) I never made it there.
We have people who tell us we have an open invitation to come whenever we want - one of them has a condo in Costa Brava - Spain ( the other has a condo right on Lake Como ) but John is not comfortable staying at people's places!!!!!!!!!!!!
I on the other hand, could move right in and overstay my welcome probably - like the brother in law in the Family Vacation movies LMHO
Anyway this week we're doing Barcelona, Spain, everyone - wait till you see what I found!!!!!!!!!!

Something's terribly wrong with the continent we live on - really
Do you think you could get all this in California?
If you converted the price from euros into Canadian dollars
Here's what you could get in Vancouver - Canada
Take a look at my post on these absurd Vancouver prices..........HERE
