			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The kitchen is a popular room in the house. In fact, it is often referred to as the entertaining center for casual dinner parties and family get-togethers. A simple and affordable way to make this casual entertaining and dining easier is to incorporate bar stools into the kitchen decor.</p>
<p>Both stylish and contemporary, bar stools are popular with the quick and easy breakfast or other meals often eaten on the go. The height and construction of them are comfortable and relaxed, making even meals eaten quickly enjoyable.</p>
<p>Of course, a <a href="http://www.beyondfurniture.com.au/view/page/28/cat/21900.html">bar stool</a> is not limited to the kitchen. They enhance the energy and attractiveness of any room. For example, many people use a well-placed bar stool in the family living room for optional seating, or near a billiard table for added comfort while playing a game or two.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.beyondfurniture.com.au/view/page/28/cat/21900.html">Bar stools</a> are durable, and are often adjustable in height as well as swivel capabilities. This adjustment allows for greater flexibility and comfort when determining where and how to incorporate a bar stool into your home’s decor. They are available in many different shapes – to reflect genres, such as modern, classic, contemporary – and materials – such as chrome, leather or wood. Of course, you can get a bar stool in almost any color you desire.</p>
<p>The typical design of a bar stool includes a foot rest and the wide base to allow for sturdiness. Some bar stools have half-backs and arms rests, while other designs do not. The seats are often cushioned and filled with polyurethane foam to allow for comfort to the person sitting.</p>
<p>Despite the shape, design, construction, or style of bar stool, their comfort is widely recognized across the globe. Bar stools are highly functional and affordable, making them a popular addition to most homes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.patonestate.com.au" target="_blank">Paton Real Estate</a> knows Mornington Peninsula – Melbourne’s favourite southern holiday playground and lifestyle region – and we know it extremely well.  We have seen property values soar on the back of sustained strong demand from holiday-makers, improved city access and a shift in land use from orchards to viticulture, restaurants and lifestyle area.  Paton Real Estate has been an integral part of the sustainable development of Mornington Peninsula for nearly 50 years.  We are informed.  We know what is happening.  Where.  And what buyers and sellers want.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.patonearth.com.au"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-208" title="earth" src="http://www.therealestateguide.com.au/wp-content/uploads/earth.jpg" alt="earth" width="300" height="225" /></a>Our front line team has more than 100 years collective real estate experience and includes four licensed estate agents and auctioneer and other excellent sales executives. Some team members specialize in small rural holdings and lifestyle rural properties while others concentrate on residential and beach properties.

<p>Paton Real Estate is known and respected as a straight-shooter and for our performance.  We provide realistic guides on current market values then strive to exceed them.  We thoughtfully craft a marketing plan specifically for each property.  A property needs maximum exposure to prospective buyers at the start of its marketing campaign as interest can quickly wane.  This requires a fast start.  The property must be shown at its best and marketed to pre-qualified buyers in our database and via our own website, the major and local real estate portals and through top-ranking listings in internet search results. We may also use prominent print media covering rural and beachside living and property listings and quality promotional material.</p>
<p>Speak to Paton Real Estate about all your <a href="http://www.patonestate.com.au" target="_blank">Mornington Peninsula property</a> requirements.  You will be pleased that you did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Footscray, with a Census population in 2006 of 11,400 residing within a 5km2 areas 5KM to the West from Melbourne’s CBD, has been a popular Mecca for many of new settlers to Victoria.  Surrounding suburbs include Maribyrnong, Flemington, Maidstone, Kingsville, Yarraville, Seddon and West Melbourne.  The area is well serviced by public transport with regular trains and trams to the city.  Trams also run to Highpoint Shopping Centre at Maribyrnong.</p>
<p>Footscray is a melting-pot of nationalities.  For a long-time, it was a favourite home for Italian and Macedonian migrants but in recent years, has seen growing numbers of new settlers from Vietnam and Somalia.  Each year, Footscray holds a Tet Lunar Year Festival covering live music, food stalls, fireworks and the mandatory dancing dragon.</p>
<p>The migrant influences are visible around the Footscray’s markets and shops. The Footscray Market next to Footscray station and Little Saigon are vibrant, colourful centres to purchase food and condiments of all kinds.  This concentration of fresh food has also encouraged the establishment of many restaurants in the area.</p>
<p>For most of its history, Footscray has been a dormitory suburb for workers in surrounding manufacturing industries.  Most factories have since closed.  The affordability of housing in Footscray and its proximity to transport and facilities is also attracting first home buyers into the market.  The median price of houses is $447,000 which is above the average for the area, and $275,000 for units. Another attraction of the suburb is Footscray Park which is the State’s second largest botanical park.</p>
<p>Footscray is well served by schools with four State primary and two private primary schools in the vicinity, two secondary colleges and two campuses of Victoria University.  The Western General Hospital, a long-established teaching and research hospital, attends to acute medical and surgical procedures. It serves as a magnet to medical specialists and general practitioners who are based in Footscray.</p>
<p>Footscray is the home of the Western Bulldogs AFL football club.  Whitten Oval, which is currently being redeveloped for wider community use, remains the Club’s training centre although Etihad Stadium at Docklands is now their home ground for matches.  The Flemington Racecourse is nearby – easy walk to the Melbourne Cup!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>East Melbourne abuts Melbourne’s Central Business District a short 2KM stroll away.  It is surrounded by parklands like Treasury Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens, open spaces like the Yarra Park with the Melbourne Cricket Ground and other major sporting and entertainment facilities are guaranteed to overwhelm.  An early adopter of systematic road closures, East Melbourne is a haven for residents despite major road arteries bisecting it and the throng that regularly head to feature events.</p>
<p>The suburb is bounded by the city, Victoria Parade, Punt Road or Hoddle Street and Brunton Avenue in the South, and includes a special zone called Jolimont.  Historical Parliament House and St. Patrick’s Cathedral are situated in the suburb.  East Melbourne homes include some of the largest, oldest and most graceful Victorian home and terrace houses in the State.  Property prices are constantly high due to the demand to live in this small 1.9 KM2 suburb – only 4330 residents – with its abundance of amenities and carefully preserved streetscapes.  The median house price is around $1.2 million; units are typically about $425,000.  The suburb has a larger proportion of residents in the 20 to 39 age bracket, most of whom are professionals who walk or tram to work.</p>
<p>Trams to the city run along Swan Street and Wellington Parade.  Trains from nearby Richmond Station connect to the whole suburban rail network.  Jolimont station also connects to the city and the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop. The suburb is endowed by excellent taxi coverage and north-south bus links.</p>
<p>East Melbourne is an important medical and hospital hub. The northern reaches include Freemasons Hospital and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.  St. Vincent’s Hospital and St. Vincent’s Private Hospital are just across Victoria Parade.  This cluster of hospitals is surrounded by specialist consulting rooms.<br />
Planned developments include the adoption of a bicycle strategy that will see bike lanes along Welling Street, more bike parking facilities and special traffic lights for cyclists. </p>
