We know Mother’s Day can bring up a lot of different feelings and this email won’t be for everyone. If this Sunday is a difficult one for you, please feel free to archive this email – our thoughts are with you.
For those celebrating, we want to take a moment to acknowledge mothers in the many forms they come. We couldn’t let the week pass without saying thank you — to our mums, our grandmas, our best friends’ mums, our sisters and every woman who has stepped into a maternal role. You are superwomen, and you deserve to be celebrated every single day.
Now, in true PPG fashion — forget flowers and breakfast in bed. We’re matching the mums in your life to the home they deserve. Which one is yours?
THE BOUJIE MUM – 1/131 Terrace Street, New Farm
She irons her linen napkins. She has a strict shoes off and no outside clothes on the bed policy. She has strong opinions about shades of white.
This fully reimagined character cottage was made for her. Comprehensively renovated to the highest standard, it balances classic proportions with a refined contemporary finish where every single detail has been considered. Steps from the James Street Precinct and Howard Smith Wharves, she can treat herself to a long lunch or browse the boutiques at her leisure — she’s earned it.
THE ENTREPRENEUR MUM – 2/33 Helen Street, Teneriffe
She’s got forty-five tabs open, multiple ideas on the go, and she means business. After all, the efficiency of a mum is unmatched.
Positioned on the ground floor of the boutique ‘Calibre Apartments,’ this unique property offers direct street access and dual private courtyards — giving her the rare ability to run a boutique business from home, or simply enjoy an exceptionally versatile residence. For the owner-occupier with ambition and a business plan, this is the 4005 postcode delivering on its promise.
THE PORTFOLIO MUM – 1615/8 Church Street, Fortitude Valley
She talks yield over dinner and she’s never wrong. Pocket money? Don’t be silly, the tooth fairy has invested it for the kids already.
Steps to James Street, easy access to the CBD and well-connected to public transport, this is a smart buy in one of Brisbane’s most consistently in-demand pockets. For the mum who understands the value of a strong rental return and knows that the best gift you can give yourself is another asset, this one’s for her.
Celebrate her latest astute purchase with a visit to Snack Man, just a lift ride away.
THE ENTERTAINER MUM – 284 Harcourt Street, Teneriffe
She’s already planning Christmas. In May.
Big garden for the kids to frolic? Check. Sparkling in-ground pool? Check. A kitchen designed for practicality when she’s feeding a crowd? Check. This is the home that was built around a guest list. Whether it’s a birthday brunch, a pool party or a spontaneous Friday dinner, she has the space — and the excuse — to host it all.
THE VINTAGE LOVER MUM – 212/88 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe
Her idea of a perfect Saturday? A meander through an antiques store, a scroll through Facebook Marketplace, and a cracking find.
This residence was made for her. Bespoke custom-milled reclaimed hardwood flooring, carefully selected finishes and the authentic character of Teneriffe’s heritage Woolstores, all delivered through a renovation of uncompromising quality, with river glimpses across Macquarie Street to boot.
While you’re in the neighbourhood, pop into New Farm Antique Centre beneath the Teneriffe Apartments Woolstore and treat her to a trinket she’ll cherish forever.
THE ART COLLECTOR MUM – 223/88 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe
Every wall in her home is a considered choice. Every piece has a story.
With soaring ceilings, exposed timber trusses and golden hour light that spills in just so, this apartment practically begs to be turned into a private gallery. Whether she’s an artist herself or spends her weekends browsing Jan Manton Gallery on Vernon Terrace, this is the space to let her imagination — and her collection — run free.
THE BON VIVANT MUM – 20/22 Florence Street, Teneriffe
Her love language is a generous cheese board and a well-chilled bottle of something good.
A massive balcony for long evenings with the gals, a large kitchen bench for those rare Brisbane days when the weather doesn’t cooperate, and plenty of secluded nooks to withdraw into when the conversation gets good. Pop the champers, lay out the charcuterie and settle in.
For easy entertaining, swing by New Farm Deli for a ready-to-go grazing platter — because if anyone deserves a shortcut this weekend, it’s mum!
THE DOG MUM – 106/88 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe
Her fur babies are family. Full stop.
This courtyard apartment is the dream base for mums to canines big and small. With a large private outdoor space and polished concrete floors for easy cleaning, this apartment sits directly across the road from the Teneriffe riverside walk for those morning and evening strolls she and her pups already have mapped out. The perfect housewarming gift? A voucher to Dog Haus Grooming on Brunswick Street, of course.
To our amazing mums and to those subscribed to the Percival Press, Happy Mother’s Day!
We hope your Sunday is as wonderful as you are!
Talk soon,
Ben
