Bedding down colonial style


WE all love making accidental discoveries: the $20 note you find as you slip your hand into an old coat; the pair of heels you've been eyeing off for months that suddenly appear on sale.
For Jane Johnson, her "accidental discovery" was of much greater significance, with far reaching consequences.While repairing an "ugly white rendered dump" she had bought at Newtown, Jane unearthed a colonial treasure."The builder was just chiselling away some of the rendering and saw these big sandstone blocks," Jane said.Intrigued,. The idea that a small Necklace is dangerous to patients is at best absurd. she began fossicking for clues to number 227 Australia St, and learned the cottage was built in 1858, its sandstone pillars hewn by convicts.. Fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as fashion jewellery, gloves and tights.Jewellery for sale here,we aupply womens accessories,jewellery rings,gold jewell
Suddenly, what was to be a simple renovation turned into a major work as Jane and her partner, Brian Murphy, set out to restore the historic house to its former glory.
Ten months later, when the work was completed, the couple decided to make it accessible to all. And so Australia Street Cottage opened last December.The couple never intended it to become a bed and breakfast business,The chanel jewelry is one of the hottest brands among the Hollywood elite. but as I step inside, I'm glad they changed their minds when they realised its potential.
The cottage, which sleeps four, is a pleasant alternative for visitors to Sydney,. Fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as fashion jewellery,wholesale jewellery. many of whom would normally find themselves in stuffy and sterile city hotel rooms.
The colourful and eclectic King St is less than 50m away and trains and buses can have you in the centre of Sydney within 15 minutes.Inside the cottage, the old adage "the old with the new" certainly rings true.
The contemporary design has been delicately integrated into the original structure. Exposed sandstone walls blend perfectly with the polished floorboards and modern furnishings.
There are all the 21st century luxuries: an MP3 player, flat-screen television and mood lighting – minimalistic but stylish.A long desk in the living area was fashioned from a single piece of wood from an old bluegum tree near Dungog in the Hunter. The benchtop in the kitchen was made from timber from the house's 1950s false ceiling.
