Kitchen Reno- ideas, suggestions Please
Comments (3)Hi! WOw! It's going to be quite a make over! I think you have a great opportunity to have an amazing light here to rock the kitchen! And if you're nervous about introducing coppper (or any metallic in case it dates), you can stay with the black (which will show up nicely against the white gloss background). Such as this http://lucretiashop.com.au/pendant-light/replica-lindsey-adelman-bubble-chandelier-8.html this http://lucretiashop.com.au/pendant-light/replica-mimosa-pendant-light.html or a series of these (depending how long the bench will be) http://lucretiashop.com.au/pendant-light/replica-moooi-random-pendant-lamp-black-50cm.html or these http://lucretiashop.com.au/pendant-light/replica-himmeli-small-pendant-lights.html Personally I don't think it matters if you mix up brands of appliances as long as they all 'work' visually together. Good luck - I'm sure it will look fab! Monique...See MoreAny tips for bathroom reno cabinetry?
Comments (12)I'm merely seconding a lot of opinions above. So, I would paint the cabinet, the window frame and also the inner side of the door a dark shade of aqua/blue like Resene Astral, Bismark or Blumine. Paint the walls a dove white. Paint the mirror in antique silver and lower it, remove that strip of gold tile above the white and try something else to match the walls or tiles. The taps are lovely, so leave as is and try to match the cabinet handles in a similar style. I'm sorry to say this, but after changing some of the other stuff, the floor needs to be changed to a lighter shade of tile. It's too dark. Good luck. Hope we get to see the finished bathroom....See MoreKitchen Reno Feedback / Suggestions
Comments (23)Siriuskey, the dimensions for the rumpus area 7720 x 4910. I really like how your design improved the flow of the house as soon as you walk through the front door. Paul Di Stefano, I couldn't agree more. Infact when I was first looking into renovations for the house, my number one choice was moving kitchen and dining to the rumpus area and opening up the rest of the house as living space. I actually agree that it would have the biggest impact on the house as a whole. I am definitely considering all options suggested thus far, but there are a few reasons why I might have to stick with a "good enough" design, rather than the best possible design; which is a shame because we have a lot of space to work with. Some main points: 1) bed 2 and 3 are very small. You can't fit a double bed in them without either covering the robe or the window, they are definitely single bed rooms. For this reason, the appeal of adding a fourth bedroom is much greater as the space would be large enough to function as a nice family / media room, while also being able to be utilised as a bedroom that is less functionally limited by its size, should the need arise for either us or a potential future buyer. 2) we are lucky enough to be able to get any kitchen cabinetry done at essentially cost price, with free installation. This makes the cost difference of reshaping and improving the current kitchen versus totally remodeling the house much greater. It seems likely that if we make a great kitchen roughly where it stands, we would be better off from a cost vs benefit perspective than if we were to gut the whole middle section of the house and start again 3) This is our first home and is definitely a "fixer-upper". Except for the rumpus extension, it's all 80's original condition. We will likely stay for quite some time but sooner or later we will be looking to use this as a stepping stone to move closer to the area where we want to stay long term. As it's all original condition, there is lots to potentially spend money on. Bathrooms x 2, laundry, kitchen, carpets and flooring throughout, landscaping. If we redo all of it and get too far in to any really expensive changes, we will likely overcapitalise and not be able to recoup the money when it comes time to sell. In a few other areas in Canberra you would get your money back no problem, but this part of town is not as highly desirable as some of the more central areas; so have to think hard about how much money we would spend and how much money we would be able to sell for down the track. I suppose the main question will be, how much will our house improve simply by adding a better kitchen and another bedroom that comfortably that fits more than a single bed, versus how much will it improve by focusing on the flow and usability of the main living areas of the house. I can't stress enough how annoying our current kitchen is, so I feel like anything that fixes this problem is a win. Photo attached - this was the real-estate agent's photo, so editing probably makes it look bigger than it is. For perspective, the area infront of the microwave is roughly big enough to fit a little over one extra microwave on... that is the entire bench space we have to work with in the entire kitchen unless you prep food on top of the electric cooktop......See MoreKitchen and bathroom renovators in Perth
