The Perfect Queenslander...Part II

So...remember my recent <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/03/perfect-queenslander.html">post</a> on the perfect Queenslander? Well I have a little update I think you might like.<br /><br />Last year, I was enjoying my usual weekend real estate <strike>stalking</strike> browsing, when I came across this cottage. As soon as I saw the interior shots, I thought it looked familiar, and sure enough, the same owners had worked their makeover magic on another gem in just the next suburb:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The original homes are quite different, but the common theme with both renovations is the addition of large modern extension to what was originally a small Queensland colonial. Do you like the idea of combining old and new, with the extension visible from the street? Or would you rather a more subtle approach, with no clue to what's in store?

Well look who we have here!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />We had a little bit of excitement at our house on Saturday night. At around 1.30 in the morning, we woke to hear our side gate being almost shaken off its hinges. The dog was barking, we flew out of bed, half asleep and wondering what we'd find outside, but it wasn't quite what we expected at all:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7ZutjN22ARpFRHySvPmTXVJ1C1Exq5zL7TpB2JVs5MjY0wek6-5S9Iuz0rgEjxc7B1piorRFjZfxT40W-m2R9FY_2eVHYK50cn0oiV4KIFFqz6H__YyCm1oXzWIhWAvOJba7FaeOwpc/s1600/koala1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7ZutjN22ARpFRHySvPmTXVJ1C1Exq5zL7TpB2JVs5MjY0wek6-5S9Iuz0rgEjxc7B1piorRFjZfxT40W-m2R9FY_2eVHYK50cn0oiV4KIFFqz6H__YyCm1oXzWIhWAvOJba7FaeOwpc/s400/koala1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now it's nothing unusual to have koalas in our backyard. We have over two acres of gum trees, and more often than not there are koalas here most of the time.
