Very small ensuite renovation
Comments (17)Dee, if resale is important to you - as in you are planning to sell in the next 5 years, then I would attend as many open houses in your immediate area as you can before you decide all this and just gauge what other homes have and the prices they want for them. You also need to ensure you keep everything in proportion with the rest of your house. If your living areas are not spacious for example, having a very sumptuous master bedroom suite will be totally out of proportion with the rest of the house and not necessarily attractive to buyers. If you are planning on staying in the house for a good length of time - at least 10 years - then forget it, do what you want to make your home comfortable for you. I never cease to be amazed at the renovations and alterations people do after paying top dollars for a home. If you personally have no need for two bathrooms, then maybe accessing the main bathroom from the master bedroom is a good way to go, it depends on your needs regarding the other 3 bedrooms. Is one of the other bedrooms large enough to put a powder room into and still have good space for a bedroom or office. That would give you an extra toilet at least. Does your laundry have room for a shower to add extra amenities that way....See MoreChild friendly beach house stairs
Comments (8)i also love the aged timber look but make sure there's no splinters and add a traditional runner in a gorgeous patterned carpet or sisal and there are rubber edge strips for grip, stair gates for little kids and a handrail for everyone else...check with your floor covering suppliers for options...See MoreFacelift options for a 1980’s brick house in Sydney
Comments (6)I'm different . I definitely wouldn't modernise anything . The left side of the picture looks great , really classy , the 2 storey right side is boring ! The bay window could do with being painted or replaced with a white frame colour , but the rest looks great -- especially that 'Bali' front door . So using that as inspiration , the right side I'd also do that window in white , but do 2 fake shutters that as closely match the front door as possible -- carved panels , maybe a circular lion in the middle of each one , the same colour and varnish . I've seen similar designs at ethnic type stores , and no doubt an on-line search would give you some tips and possible sellers . Then , the 'elephant' -- the garage doors . The cheap option -- paint . Maybe a mid orange or yellow ? More expensive but classier and to tie with the front door and shutters -- replace with wooden doors , my preference is wooden slats but the right style of wooden tilt would also work . Stain and varnish the same as the front door/shutters . Ties it all in , looks thought through , the same theme and period . Apart from that , waterblast the path , add a couple of small gardens with a variety of leafy plants , rocks and stones . Nice !...See MoreStairs to roof deck - what is the least bad option?
Comments (9)Option 3 as you don't lose any valuable floor space. The top of the new stair could have a skylight above, or windows to the side to bring more light into the centre of the home. Just make sure you have a light, open stair design, with open risers, and a see-through balustrade. You will need to pay attention to how the new stairwell penetrates the existing roof structure to make sure the roof deck drains correctly. It has the potential to be a glorious (and expensive ) feature to your home. Remember that God is in the details.
