Comments (65)Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. Houzz never ceases to delight, I am so glad I began this renovation even though it was an incredibly stressful journey at the time!! Here are a few more pics taken over the last 2 years....See MoreSeeking bathroom ideas
Comments (12)I would imagine it would depend on what type of home you have. If it isn't a 'family' home, I can't imagine the damage to resale being too bad?? A large lux shower and double basin vanity would equalize it anyway. Have a look at some shower-over-bath's. We've put one in our main bathroom, with some beautiful plumbing fittings, custom frameless screen, stone top on steel bath. Not a single person who has seen it has screwed up their nose at the fact it's still a shower-over-bath. It's a seriously decent bath too, 1.8m. Our space-reality was, it was that, or no bath at all. Ours is a family home. Needed a bath somewhere! I'm still to find some nice grab rails to install. It is slippery to get in-out of....See MoreSeeking design advice for my ground floor layout
Comments (74)Last piece of advice simonsays - never "assume" anything - more often than not people sorting through this stuff on their own misjudge, either in under or over estimating what's involved, incorrectly thinking that it will be either easier or harder than it actually will be to achieve whatever it is......you need to define your various project requirements/details etc as a starting point, and have clarity on what aspects are more or less important for you. This also must include your budget BEFORE you put pen to paper working through the design solution...so if you want a 2-way fireplace, consider it now, and factor it in within the process of working through the costs (which should be occurring simultaneously.........also, remember that "design" is a process, working towards an outcome, which as always is about resolving project requirements to budget within a particular context/conditions.......the project outcome, whatever that is, will be very much determined by the design process and the extent it is invested in and executed....hope this all helps and best of luck with it all :) PD...See MoreSeeking advice on our small reno
Comments (11)Hi Laura, What you need here is someone who can robustly manage the design/layout decisions with experience and knowledge across the spectrum of construction costs. This where decisions one way or the other "make or break" a project.....the thing is small scale projects are not necessarily cheap to do and as Monika above has suggested design professionals will be able to best assist with maximising your outcomes. 80-100K for kitchen, laundry and peripherals is super tight, will be chewed up very quickly, so the question on these ones is how best to distribute and balance the budget with a solution. What we always look at is what is going to add value from both an everyday living factor and also from an actual property value perspective. This is great opportunity but you best invest in a designer as a start point, rather than go straight to say a builder or kitchen specialist, because the solution best take into consideration the whole house set-up and so any changes that will cost money are based on maximising the results and improvements - eg you could spend $XX putting an upspec'd kitchen back into the same place vs looking more broadly, thinking about how the spaces could connect better with the external and relocate/reconfigure the kitchen/living setup with a more efficient set-up/ better flowing/positioned configuration that not only improves the kitchen, but the related and interconnected outdoor area and the living space.......lots of details and stuff to work through and think about... Best of luck Cheers PD:)...See MoreLynette Ludbrook
