What a productive month it has been. We have launched our Urban Sensations store, started a couple of rejuvenation projects, commenced planning for some new services and products that will be rolled out in the next few months and are gearing ourselves up for the first Urban Sensations "Planning your Renovation Workshop". Like most mothers with school aged children all this has been achieved whilst having children at home for school holidays - what a juggling act.Also I am really pleased to announce that an article about property rejuvenations which I have written is being published in the September Edition of Your Investment Property Magazine. [The magazine is available at all newsagents, so grab your copy from the first week in September]
A big thank you to all of those who have taken time to provide us with positive feedback on our new range of products and services. Also, thank you to those who have recently subscribed to our newsletter.
You will also notice that the format of this month's newsletter has undergone a few changes in order to make it even more valuable for you. We certainly welcome your comments and suggestions as to what else you would like to see included in the newsletter.
Have a Sensational month!

Property Update & Information
One of the biggest challenges that property buyers face is forming an accurate view about the value of a property that they would like to purchase. Demand at an auction, and to an extent at private sale, is driven by a range of factors, all of which you should have an understanding of. Click here to read more.....
Guest Business Section
It gives me great pleasure to introduce Lisa Parker from Parker Investment Properties........
If you are earning in excess of $100,000 pa it is possible that you could own a property which is positively geared, which means after all of your tax deductions, rental income and outgoing expenses are considered the investment property is putting cash into your pocket on a monthly basis. It has never been a more affordable time for people to own property than right now. But with so many different suburbs and varying property types across Melbourne, how do you decide as an investor the best place to park your money?
Parker Investment Properties has a very unique service offering which takes the guess work out of property investment for new and not so new investors.
Our service is unique because we do not advocate one property type over another or one strategy over another. It is our philosophy that investors need to be educated in all strategies and choose the strategy which will ultimately take them to their goal at that time, this may mean that they use a combination of strategies and property types to achieve their end goal. We will prepare an overall plan to help you reach your goals and identify the right type of property for you to invest in. Past investors have felt such relief from having a clear plan and strategy in place which outlines how many properties they will buy, what areas they will buy in, what type of property and how much they will spend.
If you would like to find out more about how we can help you build a portfolio in a safe and structured way please phone Lisa Parker directly on 0413 427 075 or 9773 6663.
New Gadgets
Last week I attended the "Furniture, Decoration and Design Expo" in Melbourne. As always, there were a few new products and gadgets that caught my eye, which I thought I would share with you.
The first new product is a beautiful handmade teak bath - constructed from solid teak and stainless steel. The bath's are made in Australia. Perfect for outdoors, on a boat or indeed as a feature in your bathroom. Go to www.truenorthteak.com for more details.
Do you ever wish you could change your art work around from wall to wall, or property to property with ease and no additional holes in your walls? If you answered yes, the solution is now at hand. Hang loose is a company that makes and distributes roll-up canvas prints. Perfect for temporary art (you can even send them a digital image and they will make it up into a canvas for you). For more details go to www.hangloosegallery.com
Finally, this is so simple, practical and stylish - just like Urban Sensations!. Danish Design are bringing out a range of "chat boards" to Australia. These are magnetic glass memo boards in a range of colours, shapes and sizes. Think glass splashback (with magnets) and you have the idea. Perfect for the home and office. Watch out for these as they will be arriving in the stores soon. Go to www.chat-board.dk for more information.
