Before and after in Townsville – from mid-90s to now
This project was started with a dream in mind and set of plans to match. Our clients always knew there was more that could be done to their existing home, so that they could stay living in the suburb that they had come to love and call home.
The existing home was a little tired after 20 odd years in existence. The mid 90’s style of Mediterranean influence with its Terracotta tiles and Grecian blue kitchen palate was in dire need of an over haul. We completed an entire internal demolition with all bedrooms and bathrooms changed around, including relocation of the master bedroom wing into the existing garage location.
The Kitchen and living area of the remodelled house is a mix of fresh crisp white cupboards and stone, accompanied with a splash of warm, inviting natural cedar clad walls. This is capped off with a beautifully unique and hand crafted custom cedar barn door by Samford Homes.
Finally, the front of the house was finished off with the addition of a newly constructed 2.5 car, drive through garage linked to the main building by an open timber framed pergola bold and block rendered fence with custom entrance gate.

Comments (62)4 weeks to completion, from the wall removal and new window install, this kitchen now has a whole new feel to it. the island just makes sense and removing the daggy tiles to reveal the original floorboards makes all the difference. not to mention the new appliances and their clever placement plus endless cabinet storage space....See MoreModernising exterior of 90s red brick house
Comments (16)You say this is a 1990's house . Its made to look like a 1930's house at present . To make it look 'modern' would take a lot of work , and IMO destroy the character of the house . Embrace what it is , tidy it and change the focus slightly , but personally I wouldn't take off the scrolls and those little posts , or even the walkway roof . Just my opinion , but if you want modern , you sell what you have and buy a modern place in grey on grey on grey , with charcoal -- there are more than enough unique points on this house that you either embrace it or you sell it ....See MoreBefore & After: A dark 1970s kitchen reimagined
Comments (12)I grew up in the '70's and '80's and can tell you, the warm and cozy feel you mentioned made me feel overwhelmed and depressed! Lighting was always dull. Terribly difficult to notice any dirty cupboards as the colour was so dark! I love the new kitchen, and like others wonder if the rest of the house was done in a French Provincial style as the handles seem to intimate? Not that it matters, the owners would be happy and I am sure love working in there now. Good job!...See More1960s to Now - Duplex Transformation
Comments (2)I quite like it. The mature trees absolutely lift the property into the next level. I would suggest if you’re planning on using these pics in your portfolio that you assist the client to replace the letterbox. Switching that from a Bunnings special to something that works with the entry wood screening would really say bespoke rather than merely makeover....See More- PRO6 years agolast modified: 6 years ago
