Open House: My Sweet Paradise

Thank you, polar vortex...  first the ice storm, where we lost power for 2 days, and thank goodness we got it back in time for Christmas!  Now, we're hearing government agency warnings saying, "exposed skin may freeze in less than 5 minutes."  These crazy sub-zero temperatures we've been having make it hard to believe that we are only two weeks into winter!  To say it is "bone chilling" is not an exaggeration!  So now I am dreaming about living somewhere warmer and perhaps one day owning a house in Bermuda.  Given the restrictions the Bermuda Government has for buying property there, it is a plausible thought-- because my husband is Bermudian, born in Bermuda but raised in Canada. But is it possible?-- well, if you know anything about Bermuda, real estate is not cheap and neither is it cheap to live there... we'll need to start making a shitload more money! Anyway, a girl can dream... I found the perfect house and it's up for sale now listed by Sotheby's.

It is just over 2,500 square feet, with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.  Located in Pembroke, it is described as "the quintessential Bermuda house with panoramic views over the North Shore."  Have a look!....

It's picture perfect!

I am indifferent about the verandahs on the new homes being built in Toronto.
But here, it makes so much more sense.  I love this wrap-around verandah!

A gorgeous view of the Atlantic ocean.  Some beautiful sunsets can be watched here!

I would redecorate the principle rooms... make it lighter and fresher.

I'm picturing a colour scheme of pastel blues and greens... think Sarah Richardson style.

Aside from adding some accent pieces to tie in with my new colour scheme
for the house, I wouldn't change anything in this kitchen  I love it!

The master bedroom could use some tweaking.  Just some
cosmetic changes.

Isn't it pretty?  I love the shutters!

The million dollar view...

The price tag for this home is $1.85 million USD.  You can view the listing here.


For now, I will just imagine being in the warmer climate and reminisce our last vacation there.  Let me share the warmth....

And, yes, the water really is that blue! ....no filter.

Imelda
