Comments (30)Oh boy oklouise, this is dangerous territory when you ask about the perfect reno! We thought we did have the perfect Reno we could afford in stages but we got just about ready to lodge with council and our architect surprised us with the costings going over by $200K and giving us a lovely flat roof and new cladding for our first stage budget. We now have about $10K less after this process and are really feeling vulnerable I suppose. So we are back to square one but the essentials are: repair the deck on the steep slope at the back, remove internal walls to open the space downstairs, reposition the staircase, new flooring, new kitchen and provide an aesthetically pleasing but functional entrance. Wish list would be garage/carport & driveway, flat roof, new bathroom upstairs, new laundry & WC downstairs and landscaping. $100K for the first stage (which probably means just deck repairs and removing walls?!) then we would be looking at refinancing and seeing what we can do next. The architect designs were beautiful but unattainable unfortunately. Anyway, I advertised our job about a week ago and I think someone is interested in meeting with us and I've also left a message for Dr Retro so I don't want you all to spend too much time on this although I really really appreciate and welcome your advice. Thank you again oklouise, Lisa...See MoreDesign Advice for first home new build
Comments (35)I'm going to thro a wobbly into this mix: Have you thought about going two storey so there is some outside space for boys to play? Looking at your site plan play is either in the pool or the street! Master bedroom, with all the robe you want upstairs and a kids free zone! Or boys rooms above as long has they do not own hob nail boots! Then do not use ALL the extra space on ground for your film works! Seriously this would give you some breathing space and some real outdoor living area to enjoy which you can do in Ipswich climate. Four beds separate bath rooms and stairs above with a laundry chute. Down stairs a real laundry (proportional to a five bed house) A powder room with shower for after pool. Your study of a size worthwhile and theatre room for family second sitting room as well as clients. The master can then have better sized robe, all the bits you want in ensuite including separate loo (lovely idea) but please on outside wall with window. Personally, I'm not one for two storey but in this tight site I think it would be much better. Good Luck, Margot...See MoreLiving room fireplace advice needed
Comments (28)Hi Katle, I would keep the fireplace as it is, exposed brick, if ties in with the rest of the room styling and the overall style you like and are after. I would than work with the idea f keeping it as a center piece, but utilising the firebox as a niche for a plant or sculpture. In addition, I would have a narrow piece of joinery custom design to work with the proportions of the fireplace, so on its entirety is like a new piece of furniture. The fireplace is still there but has a new function. Or could simple add a narrow shelf and painting over. Monia...See MoreHelp with planning home office please
Comments (10)At a quick look , that product you have there is designed for the cables to the printer , etc . A laptop plug will poke through from underneath , but things like the 'jug cord' that powers your monitors wont by the looks of it , so you'll end up powering them from the 'top of desk' multiboards . A bit messy , so basically you haven't achieved much . You can get plastic or metal grommets ( 60mm or so in diameter ) that are probably as good . As Kate says , get things that group cords together ( cable ties or those snake looking bits of plastic are good ) . Some other advice -- depending on what you are doing , and even if 2 or 3 are working on the same topics or totally independent : -- have 2 computers per person , but 1 larger ( 32 inch ) monitor per person , and have them hot-swappable ( normally a key on your keyboard switches between computers ) . I know a lot of people go the other way , and have 2 monitors and swap Windows , but I like 2 seperate computers especially if working on 2 projects . -- hardwire printers rather that WiFi or Bluetooth -- mind you , that depends how many computers and projects you are using , also whether you have 1 computer set up as a server . -- If 2 or more people are working on the same project , and you have the wall space , have a 42 or 50 inch TV on the wall , with HDMI , as a potential monitor . TV's aaren't as good picture quality as computer monitors , but I find they are handy for getting projects up for several people to look at , or failing that , playing You Tube videos or Netflix or music videos or whatever , even if the sound is turned down ....See More
PRO7 years agoHi Poppy... I appreciate your post as this will be something we will be investing in. I was initially wanting a fixed intercom panel (perhaps in the kitchen?) but having the ability & convenience for a video to pop up on my phone might be preferred? So many options & choices. Might just be a matter of making a list of your essential functions from this device & then shortlisting the brands that deliver those specifications? I did a quick search this morning ... found these at Bunnings, Officeworks, Kogan, eBay & Active Online. Im definitely going to do some more research on this :)
