When I first moved to Adelaide in 2008 I wondered if I should change the name of my blog. I had named it after our home in Melbourne which was built from red clinker bricks, and sadly, that dear house was my home no more.Funnily enough, we are living in a red house again. Although the front is a mixture of sandstone and painted bricks, the sides and back are all red bricks, as you can see in the image below.
Underneath the paint, the painted bricks on the front of the house are red. I know this because there are several other houses like this in our street, and many in this part of Adelaide. Sandstone-fronted, red-brick sided cottages are typical of the era (our house was built in 1915).
The garage, while a fairly recent addition, also follows this theme. The front is a sandstone veneer...
but the sides are red brick.
Welcome to our (new) red house.

Wow, you are so lucky to find a property where all the hard work has been done for you. My idea of a renovaters delight!

Hi sweet Kate! BTW, I love your hair!!
I am getting caught up on posts and have to tell you that I just love your home! It is well worth the wait, but I am so sorry to hear that it caused stomach aches and ill feelings. Good things happen to those who wait - but moreso, God really does answer prayers!!
Wishing you better days!

Your new house looks gorgeous.
Well done Kate.
It seems the name of your blog is somewhat prophetic! I love every little glimpse I'm getting of your home ~ It is truly beautiful.
Lucky your Melbourne house wasn't purple or something :) Love the sandstone look..
Love your (new) red house :)
I like your gorgeous red home so much. It is really beautiful.
that's awesome. I remember when you moved to your house in adelaide, wasn't your shed or garage red, and you didn't realize it right away?
