| | | Ultimately, I believe, whether you choose one way or the other doesn't
matter. If you're present when you make your decision, then you'll be
present in the next situation—and be ready to make choices as the need
comes up. Of course, you always could have done things differently. But
the ultimate importance is not what you do, it's how you do it—the state
of consciousness brought to the process, which hopefully will let you
feel the aliveness of all your experiences. - Eckhart Tolle... |

| We have made a decision - a decision to sell.. A decision that was made whilst traveling our vast outback land of Australia, whilst present, together, we made this decision... |

A new job for me, family, friends & the "comfort" of our "home" were calling us to go "home"... We listened to the calling and now she, my love, will bring somebody else as much joy as she has given us...
The only thing that could have almost kept us here was this beauty, my love, White Verandah..
There is so much love within these walls, careful thought, planning, alot of dreaming that has come together so beautifully that living in her is really is food for our souls every single day...
The layout, the finishes, the view, the details - it all just "works" and makes for easy living, loving her and entertaining..
This Kitchen is something that I wish I could take with me and takes every bodies breath away when they visit. It is such a delight to cook in & be in..
The kitchen measures six metres wide, which means there is enough room for everyone to roll up their sleeves and get involved!
The kitchen island bench measures a whopping 2.5 x 1.2 metres and was designed with kids in mind - for breakfast, homework, talking & connecting.. It is a feature that draws a crowd when entertaining - despite a deliciously comfy couch - the bench will draw guests to sit & chat..
The kitchen benches are easy to keep clear, with a butlers pantry space that houses pantry storage, bench, cupboards & a whopping 8 power points to accommodate every appliance! The butlers pantry is also fitted with a sink which has made life so easy! Whether you are a fan of juicing, have a coffee machine or just the kettle in there - you can always quickly rinse and replace..
I couldn't possibly post about my kitchen without mentioning these beauties - the double porcelain farmhouse sink and the most divine Perrin & Rowe tap...
Ok ok... this could almost make me stay too...
Our laundry/mudroom was designed to make the chores of washing and ironing enjoyable..Big, spacious, organized, a drying cupboard, lots of storage - a place to house everything that the kids would normally leave lying around - school bags, shoes, bags, hats, etc..
(hope i don't talk myself into staying before the end of this post!)
Two hidden laundry baskets - one for lights and one for dark's and a porcelain sink - enough prettiness to make washing the clothes a more enjoyable task!
Super big bedrooms with heapsa storage.. well heapsa bedrooms really...
Six in total or five and a study...
Or four, a study and a craft room - which has worked perfectly for us...
Large but cosy lounge with two sets of french doors that open out onto the massive undercover Verandah / deck area - the view from here - is nothing short of breathtaking.. so much so that i have hundreds of photos from here....

| The summer sunsets.... |
 |
| The view from the house...just over two acres of luscious green land, a creek running at the back fence and a covenant that allows for you to keep some hoofed animals to keep the grass down... | |
We call this "girls HQ" but really its "kids HQ"!! A great size room, with heapsa cupboards (not pictured) so storage is sorted.. Also has tv points and heaps of power points to accommodate Wii's, DVD's, etc ( also not pictured!)
Also featuring french doors folding out onto the 2 metre Verandah that wraps the entire house..
Bathroom pictured here is down the kids wing of the home.. This has a gorgeous deep bath, double ceramic basins (no fights at tooth brushing time!), white shuttered window and a glassless walk in and out shower.. I hate cleaning glass so this shower is so low maintenance - I love it!!
The en suite is a smaller version of above - double basins, glassless tiled walk in and out shower - same tiles and finishes...
So there she is - well most of her - haven't pictured all of the house but if your interested or know anyone that may be interested in a tree change to gorgeous Poowong in Gippsland in Victoria please email me at mywhiteverandah@gmail.com to discuss further..
