Balustrade in Sunroom
Comments (16)Thank you Sophie c and spmm, great suggestions! SPMM The current sliding doors we have put a restrict opening and considered that approach too. So, thank you. If that would be acceptable to council then that would be our best bet. The whole window will be taken down to allow for the new windows which will be heavy and will need better support. So yes, the shelf will be removed. I have also explored this type of window opening perhaps. Again restrictive opening. The husband is not that keen on the idea. This is the sketched house. So would like a seamless and minimal look as it will be all windows on the front second level of the house....See MoreFeedback on renovation plans
Comments (8)Thanks for the feedback everyone. The idea behind having the study and TV room next to the bedrooms was that so the parents could have our own space to work and our daughter will have her own play space, ideally that's where she'll be spending time with her friends etc and eventually can be used for a study (she's only 5 now) Agree that having the bathroom off the living room isn't ideal, one idea we've had suggested is to indent the room more so at least it's not as obvious. We've relocated the plumbing as we'll just be knocking down the back half of the house from where the dining room ends. Moving this to the other side allows us to open up the space more so we can look straight out to the deck and backyard from our living/dining space. The picture below covers current layout with rough dimensions. The front of the house faces north west....See MoreHow best to reno our old fibro home, what to do with the sunroom?
Comments (13)it's great looking old cottage that just needs some TLC but the best investment for a rental would be to increase bedrooms without spending so much that the house needs to earn more income/higher rents to sustain a bigger investment ..my suggestion includes where necessary lining and insulating to make it more comfortable, repair or replace windows, make sure electrical and plumbing is in good safe working order, new lightfittings, floor and window coverings, install an extra toilet in the outdoor laundry, or add an üpstairs laundry and pantry, add pergola covered deck(s) to suit outlook and increase good weather living areas...See MoreHome renovation brainstorm!
Comments (20)The extra info and the pictures have gotten me even more confused -- normally I can work out why things are done as they are , but this almost does my head in . For example , if it was designed and built as a brothel , the master almost looks like it would have been a strip club with a bar , the study an entry foyer , and maybe a door to seperate the 'strip' side from the 'brothel' side , but then you wouldn't have had the master ensuite where it is -- it would have been more likely a changing room , and the bathroom would have been where the WIR is . I don't want to sound like I spend too much time studying brothels haha , but I would also imagine they are generally 'warmer' with wallpapered walls and less open spaces where clients could bump into others . So many possibilities , and I guess a reasonably long list to work through , but here's what I'd suggest to start -- -- what do you WANT upstairs ? For example , are the views good -- is it worth considering it as a main kitchen / dining / lounge / Family rooms , with a bathroom ? A bit unconventional , but if the views are there , why not ? -- if upstairs is 'the kids bedrooms' , do you keep a kitchen there , or go rumpus or study or try for a bit of them all ? -- would it work better moving Master and say a guest bedroom up there , then maybe split the downstairs Master and Bed 2 and that sliding door to nowhere , into 3 'kids' bedrooms ? -- the existing dining and lounge are effectively in the middle of our downstairs with very few windows -- generally that is better suited to bedrooms , so do you swap rooms ( and then try and work out how to make the kitchen relevant ? ) , or go for longer rooms with windows , or leave as it is . Not easy ....See Morejulie herbert
