MOTH has a total aversion to pale blue paint. He will not, under any circumstances entertain the colour. When queried by his pyschotherapist Dr. Millie, he mutters something about it being cold, icy, unforgiving & unwelcoming (whatever that means!). So today I'm just going to have to fly under MOTH's radar with this scrumptious image.

This house, a couple of street's away from us in Stirling is for sale. It's called St. Mark's & was built in 1910 as a Hills summer house for a family living down in Adelaide. The young Owners have certainly eschewed the fusty, musty look that still often goes with period houses - thank goodness!
No country kitchen look here - very streamlined & sophisticated, although Miss Millie would need a little more bench space.
Built of local sandstone, the house is simple in design, & I love the turret.
The front entrance hall is stunning & the use of colour here very brave, but gosh they've pulled it off. The intricate plaster work on the ceiling is wonderful & the leadlight panels around the door just glorious.
A more subtle use of colour in the living rooms.
The main bedroom was once the formal sitting room complete with bay window alcove & has fabulous views over the garden. Initially not really a fan of that particular wall colour, it's actually grown on me as I've prepared this post. The turret room is directly overhead.
The bay window offers a sunny spot off the main bedroom to look out into the garden. 
A little girl's bedroom - pretty in pink.
Navy, red & white for a boy's room - although I'm pretty sure my guys would have been begging me to flick the chandelier!
Functional guest room with fireplace.
A side entrance hallway again using the dramatic surprise element of red with contrasting white.
The house sits on approx. 4,000 sq. metres & has a swimming pool & outdoor entertaining area tucked around the side.
Lovely garden aspect leading up to the pool area.
The lovely sunny pool area.
