eggs Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, after three years as owners & almost one year under serious extension / renovation the works at Chez H'omelette are just about complete... so I thought it was about time you met the family in their new 'Music Space' (which is actually the pass through between our 65 year old house & our new extension) 1. From the old house looking towards Mrs Eggs 'Gin Terrace' & through to the new extension: 2. From the new extension looking back into the old house (Note: Solo downspot for 'assuming the position' ): 3. 'Chill Lounge' (video gaming etc on 2nd TV) to the left: 4. Office (where I chat with you guys ) / Music Space continuation (Yamaha P-70 Piano / Tascam DP-03 Recorder) to the right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 5. Pool Table (currently in storage) Room straight ahead: & now the gear 6. Triumphal MOP Entry (utilising these cool little custom made 'stage spots'): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 7. And in daylight: 8. The 'Mystery Midget' (anyone... anyone at all ) 9. 'The Business Centre' & Lester's lone P90 (HE actually touched it ): & finally... 9. 'Fenderish Corner' So, the kettles boiling... & it's got a blue light ('cause I know some folk on this forum are very keen on blue lights )... & I would absolutely love to welcome any of my forum friends to Chez H'omelette if you are ever in Oz Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Nice Stu!! Looks great! If I'm ever randomly in Australia for some reason, I'm comin' over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!! The wood floors, the wallpaper, the windows, the amps in all the corners, and the guitars hanging everywhere (just begging to be played!)- All of it looks so warm and inviting. I love the lighting you have on the guitars Stuart. Makes 'em look like museum pieces. Love that Ibanez- looks killer from the strap-button to the tip of the headstock. What a great place to hang your hat, and play your music!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 "Clucking Bewdy" mate! Job well done indeed. I am a bit worried that you maybe can't afford paintings for the walls and have to use all those old bits of wood and wire ~ Dig (Grin~) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great place to hang your hat, and play your music!! Thanks guys... The 65+ year old cypress floor boards are beautiful (actually I will post a pic of one particular board that has the 'flame' to end all flames)... EDIT: Pic doesn't do it justice... but look at that middle board & it is interesting that you spotted the wallpaper Brad... We intentionally maintained that as one of several 'memories' of the old house, & believe that it is a very rare Florence Broadhurst design from her 'Letter Series'... in this case, the letter 'O'. If we are correct, the wallpaper is probably worth more than the house . & as for 'Baby'... I am kinda defying my own movie quote statement that 'Nobody puts Baby in the corner!'... That geet is hot EDIT: This thread should really be in the Lounge. Hopefully I wont get 'ex-communicated' for this :P PS: Ignore that trailing cable in the pics... It's gone already!

stein Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not only do you Aussie's know how to live, but you have exquisite taste. I could fully go for some of that coffee, and hopefully you would have some work to do so I could earn my keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Among all of those wonderful amenities, I also noticed the extraordinary beauty of your flooring, Stuart. I guess we all are drawn to fine wood, no matter what it's used for! You have a beautiful home, my friend ... thanks for giving us a look into your life!

RaSTuS Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not too shabby Stu, it must be such a relief it's almost finished, a wonderful looking house, you guys must be very comfortable living there, congrats on the mods, fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 looks great. nice and spacious and light. lol, did you design the whole layout based on where you wanted to hang the guitars? ;) Can I just point out one small flaw......now that you have a beautiful open light and airy space you are going to have to buy one of these to fill the space back up again.

eggs Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thank you Gentlemen... We are pretty cozy now ... but Neil, 1. YES to the design (I stealthily acquired a 'non-space'... "it's a passageway, NOT a room"... as 'my space' right from underneath Mrs 'I'm the Architect' Eggs nose) & 2. NO to the stack... Been there, done that, got the crushed vertebra to prove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigneil Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 to the stack... Been there, done that, got the crushed vertebra to prove it Ouch! That's a great space you got though .... I'm feeling rather green. I i was to win the lottery or somehow come to great wealth, The first thing I would do would buy a house with a nice big basement and turn it into a music room / recording studio.

No lottery wins here Neil...
