The answer is ... PERTH! And as Brian Burke Homes points out, the ex-premier is not connected with the company, but it may have helped some people guess correctly!

Are these nib walls coming up from the floor or coming out from the wall? Are they merely side panels of the cabinetry, or structural?

totally agree and would not like to any of the above lollie pop colours, Using White & black trims is classic and ageless and works beautifully with the bricks and terracotta roof. The brief is to keep the budget in mind, and I agree with not rendering or painting the brick especially just the front. Other than what is already planned, I'd concentrate on painting windows and trims and as mentioned replacing the gutters and down pipes, making over the driveway and clean up and plant the garden. Something that might make the house look a bit more up to date is how the carport is filled, will the wall facing the street be board that's rendered , timber, cut metal sheets or 50's concrete blocks painted or not. When you used to fly into Sydney it was a sea of red roofs now they're all monument and the walls similar. cheers

Before My clients contacted me a week before they settled on this lovely queenslander style property on 5 acres in the Perth Hills late 2019. At the in-home consultation they mentioned that the house was their forever home for their multi generation family and the kitchen was the first thing on their list of things to renovate. They has some great ideas about how they wanted the kitchen and the rest of the home to look as they progress through the home renovation over a couple of years. The modern farmhouse kitchen idea was perfect for the Perth Hills style home and really fitted in with it's surroundings and style of home. My clients had spent time living in England and Ireland, travelling and working in Asia and had put some real thought into what type kitchen style they wanted in their forever home. This was a great opportunity to redesign the layout to make it more functional for them from a storage perspective and allow space for their lust worthy grand 110 cm Falcon oven. I suggested removing a small pony wall in front of the existing dining table which was sat in the middle of the kitchen and by removing the old dining table we had plenty of room for a large 3 metre island instead. Removing the pony wall made the space more open and allowed for access around the island and the L shaped layout of floor cupboards. My client collects glass ornaments and vases so I suggested a row of glass fronted wall cabinets would look lovely illuminated with lights to house these collected treasures and added a wine storage area to what was once a small desk and telephone stand in the left corner of the kitchen. This new wine storage area became a lovely focal point with storage for wine glasses, spirits, a drawer for wine stoppers and openers and extra storage below. The walk-in-pantry hidden behind the timber door was transformed into a functional place to store the kettle and coffee machine and all of the fresh vegetable produce from their gardens which gave the kitchen extra storage for larger appliances and large bags of flour for their bread maker and this was completed with matching cabinetry but painted 2 Pac Dulux Vivid White to compliment the white Falcon oven. Choosing the right green paint to compliment the Ash Grey marble benchtops my clients fell in love was fun and we settled on Leek Leaf from Haymes Paint. The farmhouse style doors were painted 2 pac and have a lovely shaker farmhouse look with the bead board panels. The Belfast sink was a must for my Irish client and I found the perfect one to compliment their contemporary KWC tap which was so large and even came with a light to make sure night time trips to fetch a glass of water did not wake the rest of the family up. The cabinetry was made and installed by MC Cabinets, Perth. The grand kitchen pendant lights were a must have on the list of things my client wanted and we found these together at Beacon Lighting we had fun looking at lights and ensuring they were the right size and scale for the 3.2 metre ceilings and they really finished off the space lovely. Making sure the tiled splashback didn't distract the eye too much from the beautiful marble benchtop and green kitchen and also to avoid it all looking too busy I suggested the simple subway tile in off white to finish the space and it all worked out perfectly. The kitchen was completed in March 2020 and my clients were so happy with the finished result. The clients brief was met with their take on the contemporary farmhouse kitchen with a fun green vibe, balance of surfaces and stunning blend of contemporary and traditional finishes. The functionality of the kitchn was turned on it's head and given the owners of this beautiful home a new lease of life for many years to come.
