Before & after: From dark and dated to bright and welcoming
For us, there is no greater compliment than the surprise and delight on a client’s face after seeing the home newly staged and styled for the first time.
We staged this family home in mid-November for clients looking to make the most out of their space for inspections. It was no easy feat, but we think it looks pretty fantastic after a little decor refresh.

WHAT DID WE DO?
We wanted to make sure the property was bright and made the most of the space, but the narrow stairwell proved to be a challenge for our larger furniture. Thankfully, we got it all through and were creative in the process; if you saw any furniture being lifted over the front balcony of a home in Glenmore Park, it was us trying to make the house look as beautiful as it felt!

Not to mention our clients were the loveliest people and were just downright fabulous to work with! They already had some beautiful pieces of furniture that made our job a whole lot easier and provided so much personality to the space in the process. We kept all the natural greenery in the home as well, but it’s the little details in decor pieces and new rugs that give the home that “WOW factor’.

As a result, the owners were ecstatic. We were able to teach them a few tips and tricks along the way as well that they’re going to take with them to their new beachside home.

We staged this home in mid-November and it’s still on the market. What do you think about this project? Let us know in the comments.

Before/After: Brave Bathroom Makeover
Comments (8)And I should say our plumber installed the vanity, 4 sets of taps, toilet, shower head and the shaving cabinets. Before the work started the plumber came to disconnect everything which was very quick... Less than an hour....See MoreBefore & after: a Roseville family home
Comments (22)Dear Carol, sorry it took me a while to write back - I have been away a bit lately. Yes the reno cost on this particular project was fairly high. To do something high end in a 3 bedroom unit you may need about $500,000.00 for kitchen, bathroom, laundry, custom cabinetry through out, new flooring, painting, furniture, window coverings etc. This renovation was absolutely everything. Similar to building a new home. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Kind regards, Jodie...See MoreBefore & after: A 1970s apartment makeover
Comments (17)While it is a great update on a budget , I'll be the desenting voice haha . Theres a few things I would have done differently . I don't like the polished concrete floors -- a bit too trendy IMO , especially when other items haven't been updated -- a mix of periods looks a bit strange to me . Ironically , the only place I would have considered the polished concrete is the bathroom floor -- the blue tiles look great , the white cabinets and black taps -- and then you keep brown speckled tiles on the floor ? The kitchen is okay -- I'm not a huge fan of the blue doors , personally I would have gone with bright yellow or orange , and gone with oversized stainless handles on all the cabinets , and a stainless wall oven . And fake weatherboard aged vinyl board flooring in light brown and whitewash mix -- it would tie in better with the cupboards and the new stainless oven and handles . I'd suspect my budget would have been within a couple of thousand of yours ? Likewise , I like the overall design of the living and bedroom areas , with the exception of the concrete -- too trendy , too cold IMO . Personally , I would have gone with beige or cream or maize carpet , maybe extending the kitchen 'aged weatherboard' vinyl flooring into the dining area . Then again , everyone has different tastes ....See MoreBefore & after: From dated kitchen to modern stunner
Comments (26)My kitchen is primarily 'burnt red' and the red bricks , which are slightly less brown than the burnt red . the ceiling is white , with stainless downlights , the rest is red , charcoal , white , the odd fleck of grey and black . The floor and blind are brown wood . I don't consider it overly decorated . It opens to the dining room , which is also a natural wooden floor , a black glass top table with black legs , black steel framed chairs with red leather seats and backs , an almost black wooden sideboard , a couple of big colourful abstract paintings , and 3 walls are wallpapered in a wheat weave pattern , the 4th is that red brick . There are 2 large wooden venetians too . The lounge is , yep , red leather lounge suite and extra chairs , there's even a red leather footstool that is heart-shaped ! The TV cabinet is custom made and is nearly 4 metres long , all wood with a dark stain . The floor is wheat coloured carpet with a large shaggy red rug , a black glass coffee table , a 65 inch TV and 7 speaker home theatre , a couple of those polished search light spot lights on wooden tripods , and several original paintings ( only 1 is an abstract , the rest are people , although a couple are Picasso-esque ! ) . Not much white , not a great fan . I'll put up some pics in a couple of years when I've tidied hahaha ....See More
