Laundry Reno - please help.
Comments (5)I like the timber doors. Stick with them! No, They're not popular at the moment but I'd say thats more due to the cost when compared to a mass produced coloured/laminated/painted door which would be milled MDF or melamine and the like. Solid timber is just that, solid timber not some manufactured timber of an unknown quality. I'd go for tiles every time on a floor in a wet area. Genuine marble as a splash back would be awesome in a laundry, get a price as you may be surprised as it's not a huge area. Tiling does add up quite quickly........See MoreNeed help with my first reno project!!
Comments (8)I think a mid-tone blue would be best. Something like a demin colour. Tropic Night by Dulux grabbed my attention, but at a half strength. I too am halfway through my own first renovation project - one that has grown exponentially, - and picking the colours was the hardest. I took some advice from the local paint shop, as well as from a interior decorator friend who works occasionally as a colour consultant with architects. Take as much advice as you can, and then throw it all into a mixer (your mind) and then - as others have suggested - go get a heap of sample pots and paint big (I mean BIG!!) swatches on the side of the house. Then take at least a week to keep looking at them in different lights, at different times and one colour usually will just become your favourite. That is the right one to paint. Best of Luck with your renovation project!...See MoreNeed help with my extension/reno floorplan
Comments (29)Daniel, can imagine you don't deal with a lot of fire places in QLD but South of that we do. It's like any beautiful old building we need to respect and conserve what is already there, a new addition can allow for more sleek and modern design. I had been very fortunate to own a beautiful federation house which was simply white inside with polished floor boards, fire places mostly timber, when we sold the new owners striped all beautiful arch ways and all exterior Fret work. I have recently seen an Architect show his work on this forum where the Bull Nose verandah's and metal posts were removed "they weren't original", even though they would have been a 100 yrs, and were replaced with more modern square posts. Look at what is happening on the North Shore Pacific Highway, the past government (Labor) has approved multi story apartment blocks along this highway destroying beautiful heritage houses and gardens to do this and losing any historic charm a big lose for Sydney and Australia , and while not doing anything to update ANY transport to support .this Conserve what we have as is done in other countries for future generations cheers...See MoreLaundry reno info needed.
Comments (1)Personally I’d patch the holes. Doesn’t need to be need just flat. But the moon want fall out of sky if you don’t as long as you have solid backs and are sealing around cupboards...See Moreklew1092
