Albert Park House

At the base of the Albert Park House is an inner-city heritage home. The original structure's historic details were thoughtfully restored while the layout was modernized with a new open design. At the rear, is a timber-clad extension. Although remaining neutral, the palette slightly evolves as you enter the new addition, meshing the old with the new. The addition adds a second story for bedrooms accessed by a cranked staircase. Below, a kitchen and dining room expands to an outdoor terrace, affording views of the outdoor garden.

Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni Robot Vacuum

Robot vacuums are of no use if they consistently miss spots, or worse yet, don't clean well in the areas they cover. With a dual-laser LiDAR mapping system, 8000Pa of suction, and a hot water mopping feature that automatically raises for carpets and rugs, the Deebot X2 Omni is a cleaner you can count on. It has a square shape that lets it get to corners round vacs can't reach, and a charging station that automatically cleans the mop, loads the tank, and empties the bin, keeping the need for you to do any actual work to a minimum. Limited time holiday offer, $350 off at Costco from now until December 24.

The messager goes on with velcro straps and uses air to inflate bladders around the feet, calves, and thighs to promote blood flow and relieve knots, cramps, and pain.
