Where to go on holiday in March 2023 - Condé Nast Traveller

Image
Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo . Don't miss fresh fritto misto at Marina Grande, the town's old fishing harbour, or Michelin-starred Il Buco in the cellars of an old monastery, where chef Peppe Aversa serves seasonal ingredients under a stone-hewn, vaulted ceiling. Th...

Factors to consider when choosing between buying an existing house or a newly constructed one - The Washington Post

Image
When Theresa Layton, a single woman in her early 50s, was ready to downsize from her 2,000-square-foot condo, a colleague mentioned new construction taking place at the Thistledown section of Bulle Rock in Havre de Grace, Md. "I wanted to customize a home for myself where I could grow older, but I didn't want a 'mega-mansion,' " Layton says, so she was willing to wait for a new house to be built. Like many home buyers today, Layton considered both existing homes and new construction. Sales of newly built houses represent only around 11 percent of all home purchases. Still, there are more to-be-built houses available for sale than existing ones. Most buyers are aware of the severe lack of existing houses for sale, which dipped to 1.8 months' supply in December 2021, according to Redfin real estate brokerage research. That compares to a six-month supply of newly built homes. More than one-third (34 percent) of all single-family houses for sale in December were n...

70s House Exterior Makeover Australia: Top 3 Before and Afters - Architecture and Design

Image
70s houses are primarily characterized by their distinctive red-brick texture. A 70s house took influence from many different architectural styles, but particularly Colonial and Mediterranean. In Australia, a typical house built in the 70s was a small, three-bedroom one bathroom home in either a rectangular or L-shape. The image of a 70s house interior often brings to mind loud colours, quirky wallpapers and shag-carpets. However, many houses designed like this in the 70s have since been updated to keep in with modern styles. Renovating 70s houses Australia is a common practice and a way to keep your home feeling fresh and stylish. A 1970s house renovation can be an easy DIY job for the inside décor (usually involving removing wallpaper and replacing carpet or installing a floating floor), but a 70s house exterior makeover Australia is more difficult to achieve without the relevant expertise. Common practice would be to hire professionals for your 1970s house exterior makeo...
