This former tram booking office has been renovated as part of an upgrade of Newtown railway station. Built at the turn of the 20th century this building has been repurposed for retail. It stands in stark contrast to the former tram sheds featured on this blog earlier this month Urban decay.

Cheerful corner
This is a glimpse of the morning sun pouring through stained glass in the door that goes to the front garden. The light is diffused as it passes through a curtain decorated with appliquéd leaves in shades of green. Combined with the wall colour, candle sticks and Cirque du Soleil painting; a warming church-like scene.
I find the term ‘drawing-room’ a trifle pretentious, however after dinner we do withdraw to this east facing, cheerful, cosy and comfortable place.
Triple chocolate cookies
I was supposed to leave 6cm between each one, it’s just as well they didn’t spread out properly.
Changing to Nigella Lawson’s recipe was the right decision as the generous quantity of ingredients of the original was for 100 cookies!
I love you because
You won’t put a doormat at the front door; in case someone steals it.
Urban decay
Heritage listed tram sheds sit decaying alongside the recently modernised Newtown railway station, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Authorities attempt to minimise the visual impact of graffiti by painting over it using ‘mission brown’.
Yuletide reminder
Sydney, Australia, is in that Spring phase when it’s warm one day (22oC) and chilly the next (17oC).
On the cooler days the red and green of this gum tree remind me of Yuletide in northern hemisphere.
