:: Radelaide Retro…

July 18, 2011

I really like searching for these kind of homes on those big real estate sites. This one is in Adelaide.  How amazing is it?!!  Loving the sea grass matting.  Loving the wallpaper.  Loving the special bedrooms.  Totally time-warpy, for sure!

xx Pip

Hurrah!

    Love Love Love the wall paper in the kitchen!! ๐Ÿ™‚ That kitchen as a whole brought me back to 10 years old helping an Aunt bake… Thanks for the time warp trip Pip!!

    My best friend has a beautiful Art Deco house here in Adelaide that he & his partner have renovated, & they've done their bathroom in a 1930s style similar to the tiles in this pic – except their bathroom is pale green, black & white. It looks great!

    amazing!! it looks like a movie set : )

    The bathroom is just like my father-in-laws except his is black and pink. The kitchen was similar till it was redone recently! This home is amazing. No modern influence has infiltrated after all these years!
    thanks for sharing! xo G

    I've just bought a little old lady house by the see in the UK that looks a bit like that. Only not as nice.

    Radelaide indeed! I am completely besotted with the wallpaper in that first bedroom…

  • Alexandra July 18, 2011 at 6:43 PM

    Ha, I would totally get one of those funky wallwapers… I think in this context it's okay to use "funky", righ?

    Wow – I am in equal parts attracted and repelled – nostalgia works in funny ways….

    I want a lilac tiled bathroom so bad now! Just amazing.

    That bathroom is almost I identical to mine. Well was…. The floor fell in and we had to re do it.

    You do realise that being Adelaide it is possible that the owners don't think it is retro at all?! Some South Australians are living in a permanent time warp. I can say that with sincere affection and a wink since I wasn't born there and only reside there because of my husband ๐Ÿ˜‰

    No flying ducks, I'm very disappointed

  • Indigo Inspirations July 18, 2011 at 11:39 AM

    wow…especially love the wallpaper in the bedroom….I have an old table cloth very similar..xox Jo

    Oh my. We once went house-hunting in Adelaide, it has the most amazing trapped-in-time houses!

    It's so great to see an original. I just can't get over the price for that size land. Sydney is insanely expensive.

    LOVE it Pip. I love looking at old estates too.
    the wallpaper is to die for and so is the kitchen, god I love that kitchen xo

    Amazing!
    Check out this one, in Auckland: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=389783953
    The bar! So great.

    Wowsers! My parents still have and use the oil heater like the one in the loungeroom! They bought it second hand in 1975!

  • Vic July 18, 2011 at 10:02 AM

    I can see a period drama set in there! Aussie swingers perhaps?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    they're all magical!

  • flamehair July 18, 2011 at 9:47 AM

    It's just so pristine isn't it? I'm tempted to ask them if they have any open days lined up so I can go have a look inside. ๐Ÿ™‚
