It's those big tracts of land, way out west, de-nuded of all trees, where it is just a sea of roofs, and everyone has a McMansion (big or small) and the same front garden and there's not much soul to it. The MCM developments were quite different as they bordered the established suburbs and they left all the trees and worked around them. People chose styles and designs of houses that had some integrity and timber and steel were still valued building materials. MCM designers and architects chose interesting bricks and tiles and houses were built to last. That makes me feel much better!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452165439512684501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-16291366491631118762014-04-03T15:37:29.422+10:002014-04-03T15:37:29.422+10:00Our house was cloaked in vertical bars too when w...Our house was cloaked in vertical bars too when we got it and we were quick to whip them off. It costs nothing and makes a huge difference. <br />It still seems odd seeing you in this house although completely right! The shower room looks so contemporary and the light fitting is tres funky!anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433701550878013807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-23538425505486282302014-04-03T13:45:51.667+10:002014-04-03T13:45:51.667+10:00It made a huge difference taking the "burglar...It made a huge difference taking the "burglar bars" down.

I'm sure we'd find it hard to adjust if we were to move from somewhere very close to the city though.

I think moving out of the old 'inner-city' suburb and into a newer '1960s-developed' suburb - albeit it borders the old suburb, has been the hardest part. Having lots of trees around, having a bit of a view from my front deck, and being able to see and hear the birds is compensation for living in 'the burbs'. Once I'm inside my mid-mod house, I'm happy. What about you. Did you have to change your mindset - or were you already there?Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452165439512684501noreply@blogger.com
