Good on you abstar9511 for choosing to Renovate! I've personally gone through a renovation in the last 18 months and it is worth it. From the pictures the house looks to be in fairly decent nick for a Perth original, especially one by the beach with our salt and winds. If you choose to update the gardens at a later date, Planted Passion is happy to quote on a resilient garden design and installation for your properties' weather/soil/aspect conditions. Personally, I can see a Cottage Garden vibe which would like stunning, especially with the inclusion of some Hedges for beach wind protection. Good luck with the reno!

There are lots of "flavours" of mid-century kitchens as this period ran over a number of decades. Have a look at some of my Pinterest resources to help match your kitchen style and tiles. https://www.pinterest.com.au/secretdesign/kitchens-original-mid-century/ https://www.pinterest.com.au/secretdesign/kitchens-renovatednew-inpsired-by-mid-century-mode/ If you want some specialist mid-century advice feel free to contact me, Regards Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

Please excuse this quick dodgy recolour , but just wanted to show the difference some kind of contrast would add to the effect of the exterior. Whether it is painting the roof (because it is such a big part of the facade), rendering or painting the bricks or refinishing the windows in black or white, something to let the architectural features is the key to sprucing up the outside. I think someone mentioned adding a verandah too. That would depend on how much light already comes through the front. I can imagine one of the windows on the side being transformed into french doors leading to a lovely flagstoned garden. I love the black and white interior photos someone posted above too. anything to bring some contrast to all that mud coloured brick. What an inspiring project to have ahead of you, so many possibilities! I wish this were my little house :)))

The trims if done correctly are built into tiles, so you can’t just change without removing tiles. See if you can get an off cut of the same trim, and rub back with light sandpaper and see if you can spray paint. If this works, then cover and tape up tiles leaving trim exposed and spray paint. The mirrors and towel rail are easy to remove and replace. The laundry cabinet, go to Bunnings and measure up a kaboodle cabinet and bench system.
