LIVE CHAT TODAY: How to add value to your home - Thu, 29 June, midday!
Comments (51)Q7) Louise - I live in a small federation single fronted cottage in an inner west suburb of Sydney and would like to freshen the façade to modernise it and improve on the street appeal. Within the next month I am planning on replacing the bullnose awning to one that is flat but angled, paint the exterior of the house and lay tiles in the porch and step areas (carport and planting to soften the façade will come later). The tiles that will be laid in the porch are artisan style ones shown in the pics below, steps will be marble. The house is north facing and I am going for the Hamptons look. I would like to know (a) if you think this colour scheme will work and if there is a better colour scheme that you can please recommend - Dulux tranquil retreat for the exterior, trims will be crisp white, surfmist for the awning and momentum for gutters, (b) should the awning have a corrugated or trimdek profile and (c) the tradie will be removing the timber post and replacing this will aluminium ones white in colour - is aluminium a terrible idea? The houses on the street are a mix of federation, bungalows and modern ones. Some are as-is in pretty much original condition and others freshened up with render and paint in pretty neutral colours....See MoreQueensland kitchen renovation - before and after
Comments (2)Very practical and thanks for sharing all the useful info....See MoreBefore and after – single or double sink?
Comments (14)We have the benefit of living with both scenarios. Single sink in the bathroom; two in the ensuite. The bathroom has been reno’d and a shaving cabinet was installed. The ensuite needs a reno and doesn’t have a shaving cabinet. If you have a mirrored shaving cabinet, it probably won’t matter if you have one or two sinks. Bench space won’t factor. All the clutter will be nicely hidden away in the cabinet. Provided there’s enough space between two sinks so they don’t look squashed in, flip a coin or let personal preference rule on the number of sinks. No shaving cabinet - I’d go one sink. When the ensuite gets done we’ll definitely install a cabinet. The bench top becomes so much neater, spacious, uncluttered and easy to clean....See MoreBefore & after: a Roseville family home
Comments (22)Dear Carol, sorry it took me a while to write back - I have been away a bit lately. Yes the reno cost on this particular project was fairly high. To do something high end in a 3 bedroom unit you may need about $500,000.00 for kitchen, bathroom, laundry, custom cabinetry through out, new flooring, painting, furniture, window coverings etc. This renovation was absolutely everything. Similar to building a new home. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Kind regards, Jodie...See MoreReef Pools - Pool renovations
