What should we do?
Comments (17)I'm going to assume that when you say the rear of the house is east, that's the kitchen! If so then you have a great northern aspect across your kitchen and living areas. I would think that opening those areas into a large space would be great especially considering your limited budget however make sure you adequately eave or screen those windows for summer. Come winter it will be lovely and warm and with the right eaves, lovely and cool for summer. Considering you have a 4th bedroom/study you can also use that as a separate kids space when you have guests so you don't necessarily need two living areas. As for the bathroom unless you have a second toilet somewhere don't make it one big space. We have this problem at the moment and you really don't want to have a shower while your kids doing their morning poo. Not to mention the fights when one of them is in the shower and anyone else has to go....See MoreBefore and After - From Run Down to Revitalised for Brisbane House
Comments (3)It is unrecognisable, however I like how you can see that it is essentially the same house underneath. Well done....See Moreraising a house in Brisbane

Comments (18)No-one has really asked you your favourite colours , although your suggestion was white and white and off-white and almost white and white and Monument . Was that because its what you want , or because it's what you think might look okay ? Pretty safe ( thats polite wording for boring ) . For the exterior , I'd want to find out more about you . The interior I'd say the same , but a couple of general suggestions . Firstly , that grey on the lower walls has almost violetty tones in some pics -- that would be where I'd go a light tone -- surfmist or similar . But for the 'uppers' of the walls , instead of everything the same , how about a different colour every room , and either wallpaper , or a wallpaper feature wall in each room ? Pastels , stripes , chevrons , monotones -- different paper , different colour tones , different rooms -- plan an overall theme and tone that suits your taste , your furniture , the art , the duvets , the towels you already have . Have some fun , white and grey and monument are what you use to fill in between the fun bits ....See MoreJan Dobson
