Comments (9)Yes we possibly could have, however then the Entertaining, Living areas of the home would have been on the First Floor which would have meant incorporating a larger Patio on this level. You also must remember over 80% of owners of Two Storey homes prefer bedrooms on the First Floor, so you we need to take this into consideration for our clients potential resale of their home....See MoreCan houzzers help me renovate our 1980s kitchen?
Comments (28)Could you swap the fridge with the wall oven, going by your photo both fridge and Wall Oven would fit side by side. I would definately have the fridge on the cook top wall and not on the other side of the kitchen. I see by the photo that the timber beam could be in the way, I would speak to your plumber who should have a simple solution on ducting the range hood. A simple one built into a special cabinet above the cooktop can recirculate or be ducted outside by either exposed stainless tube for your industrial/country look or have the ducting boxed in, the ducting can be flexable so no problem avoiding beams....See More1980’s ‘spanish’ house needs 2010’s update
Comments (6)I would approach your house renovation with caution as in my experience the Spainish style is one of the hardest to work with as the architecture is so distinctive, and it takes a careful eye and hand to get the balance right. The builder, the interior designer and the architect will approach your project from different perspectives, and each discipline has their strengths and weaknesses. Your project is more than a two-dimensional floorplan exercise, so I would engage somebody who is prepared to visit your home, who takes the time to understand the existing building, its responsiveness to your Brisbane climate and the dynamics of your family. I find that with my clients the appeal of open-plan living changes as the children get older. There are great advantages when the kids are toddlers for supervision, but by the time they get to be lanky teenagers and bring their friends home to play X-Box the open plan living has lost its appeal. The advice that you receive from Houzzers should be treated carefully as none have visited your home and assessed it in any depth, so the advice should be thought of as possible guidelines based on the limited information that you post. Best of luck with your considerations, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See More1980s ideas for entry
Comments (7)Hi Olga, Why not paint the trim the dark grey like your gutters, will give a new outlook and could be all it needs, add a fabulous holder for your wood, a great covered bench to hold your boots that could double as a seat, love the idea of it being moveable, some great planters could look gorgeous...See More

7 years agoIf you are looking at resale then I would focus on modernising the front, the kitchen and the bathrooms and maybe the back yard. These are the areas that will lift your sale price.
Step one is to square up those arches.
Depending on your internal layout you could maximise floor space by keeping the verandahs and installing large sliding doors that's create an indoor outdoor feel. Raise the floor of the verandahs to get rid of the big step down. Convert the rear verandah from a sun room back to an actual outdoor space.
This image is not my design but shows how a narrow verandah opens the space up.
