Negotiate your price offer 80 and then counter with 85k
That is very excessive for a 14sqm space. We just visited my friend who had a laundry, separate toilet, standard bathroom, large ensuite and separate toilet completed for $83000. This is a brick home, so tiled solid walls and tiled concrete floors, so tiles more involved to remove than stud walls. Each room totally gutted and replaced with new tiling and high spec fixtures and cabinetry. Total squares metres involved was 22.3. This is in the hills suburbs of Perth.
I feel your pain if your rate on the east is $5000 per square metre. Oh my golly gosh….
Is there any reason why you can not remove all the fixtures and stud walls, in preparation for the renovation company to build back up.? A plumber would be required to shut off existing plumbing. This will then save you thousands in labour costs.
Yes the last layout works best with vanity in the common entry. When doors open can see through to windows. 2 private toilet zones
my suggestions include a powder room to increase separation between toilet and kitchen with generous vanity to allow for underbench linen storage and wall cabinets for toiletries plus a separate bathroom with back to wall corner bath and big shower and the old outdoor area becomes new laundry and toilet but, location of kitchen cabinet and doors restricts available space so there's a shallow 45cm bench with drop in laundry tub, a big broom cabinet to use leftover space in toilet, underbench space for washer and dryer plus wall cabinet and tall shallow linen
OR freestanding laundry tub next to stacked washer dryer with a separate handbasin and wall cabinet inside toilet and a whole wall of shallow storage space without any benches
Thanks! These are both good options!
You need to beg, borrow or buy a real sample of the decking. You can choose from a catalogue. You can then compare in natural light similar to the location where they’ll be used. Colours on screen are very unreliable. If you can’t get a good match I’d go for something clearly different.
I’d move stove to other wall and put sink under window. Tall a pantry next to fridge and continue overhead cabinets and bench to the end wall
Hi Cee, that first door on the plan isn’t actually there - real estate make a mistake so there’s only one!
Is the bathroom gorgeously retro & to be kept? Or a leaky mess? Just going by that estate floorplan.. if the bathroom & kitchen swapped? The kitchen could maybe be opened up (or a servery window) to living? How true to the era do you want to be?
We are very happy with the Ollie from Lounge Lovers. It is very solid and not a squeak in the 12 months that we have had it. I bought mainly based on aesthetics so I have no advice on what to look for! Be aware of the amount of dust a bedroom generates and that you will need to dust the bedhead regularly but apart from that, good luck.
Some additional photos. Size is appox 6 X 6
It's just very "functional" at the moment. Firstly, what is your style vision for the area? Decide how much seating you want around the fire ( a lounge set or a couple of chairs - it doesn't look like a generous area directly next to the fire). But you could address that like an indoor lounge space, with a jute/outdoor rug, coffee table, a few big generous plants in large pots eg olive in a tall urn/pot. Style the benches with a few items - maybe a couple of lanterns, a leafy plant. The table would need a plant and a candle or 2. Pick up on the timber in the cabinetry with a timber table and natural chairs - chairs with cushions would add a bit of softness and colour if you wanted it. You would need to keep your passageway from the doors clear. It could also look really nice with a low hedge/planting around the edge or just in the corner near the fire to semi enclose the space from the garden
Can you post a floor plan to scale with dimensions of the space
there should be comfortable space for a king sized bed with a bedside chest of drawers or table, a combined bedside and makeup table with small chair as well as built in wardrobes with sliding doors and a bedseat storage box and, depending on condition and available space, it may be possible to create a tall removeable screen/bedhead that disguises the old opening and allows for long term secure storage inside the old fireplace
Thanks OkLouise. This is kind of what we were thinking originally. Just we end up blocking the fireplace which is an attractive feature, so was interested if there are any other ways we could do it!
This could work.
Thanks yep ill take a look at that thanks
