Trying to choose paint colour for bedroom
Comments (16)Please consider your aspect and the amount of sun and light your room gets. This makes an enormous difference to the end result of the room, do you want your room to look warm or cool? A lot of reds are going to give the room a warm look, as will the gold drapes but for a cooler look you could bring in white walls. However, you will need to be careful of the shade of red you choose, it could bring out the orange in the flooring as could the gold drapes. If you want something modern and contemporary red/black and white can be a nice fresh colour scheme. The room looks very large so the walls could be painted red for impact or just do the wall behind the bed and the rest of the walls white for a fresh look. Black could also be used as a feature wall behind the bed. A few ideas - [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=] [houzz=]...See MoreTrying to decide if we should renovate or move
Comments (12)I'd think in this case $100K give or take should cover scope of a simple building extension and extended patio, whether it included balcony would depend upon structure - that component alone could be $20K by the time your done with doors out and balustrade etc....I think you're in the general ballpark and if you like the area stacking up the additional works costs against moving costs, depending upon what your goals/options are, probably the extension is the better option here - unless of course there is an affordable alternative on the market that ticks all the boxes.......See MoreInsurance/financial disaster - try to repair or build new?
Comments (10)Thanks for the advice team. So the house is block work on a cement slab, but when we did our renovating in the bathroom and had to cut through and re-lay the floor in the very small bathroom we noticed that the slab was incredibly thin and had no reinforcing. The walls have some cracks however we did have the building inspected when we bought it and thought we had a solid shell to start with. (Its brick and cement we said - what can go wrong?!) Our house is not in the flood zone. There is an asbestos ceiling which has also complicated matters a little - everyone who has quoted on the job has vowed not to disturb it - but I am not sure when you are walking around up there and pulling the original roof off if this is actually possible. The roof is a flat cliplock roof with no crawl space at all, so the ceiling is on battens that are attached to the rafters. The block of land is 822 sqm and will be worth about $130 000 if the house was demolished. (Demolition is set to cost around $30 000- due to asbestos etc) We have spoken to an architect who has told us that it may be possible to reuse our kitchen, the solar set up and some windows, but if we try to force the project to reuse all of our windows and doors it could end up being counter productive. So if it happens to fit we might reuse. I just spoke to a real estate who are telling me that in our area a small new house (3 bedroom) will not reach the $300 000 value point - so it may be impossible to reach the right formula to allow the bank to lend for a rebuild-...See MoreFinishing off the Family Room
Comments (6)Gorgeous colour scheme, look for black planters, a textured light coloured rug would look beautiful, linen throw, and some fun cushions picking up your colours would look stunning ....See MoreSam Gorson
