Need help for my newly renovated basement
Comments (21)The space looks a bit cold & clinical at the moment. Add sheer curtains to the window from ceiling to floor this wall Add some drama and also help to soften the look. I don't think the corrugated iron works use timber instead . A rug will better define the space perhaps with pops of colour like yellow , orange or red this will add some warmth. Prints on the wall , large pot plants side tables and floor lamps . In the billiard area it would look good to add a pendant lamp over the table you can buy ones specifically for billiard tables . More pops of colour also a couple of occasional chairs . You could also add more timber here to give more ambiance. Happy decorating ....See MoreNeed help choosing flooring for my renovations!
Comments (5)Personally, I'd go with the grey glass splashback because I'm a fan of a more subdued colour scheme. BUT, from the information provided, particularly your collection of red kitchen appliances and the colours selected for your pendants and bar stools, I think the mosaic tiles would suit your personal style more. And the remainder of your kitchen is fairly neutral. The only minor issue is that with mosaic tiles, there is more grout. This will mean that you'll have to keep the splashback clean, especially around the stove area, in order to keep the grout looking nice....See MoreTerrace Renovation - First Home need Help
Comments (4)Congratulations on your purchase. We have recently completed a renovation which included an excavation. If you are wanting to have parking in the basement, it may cost you in excess of $80K due to the excavation involved. This includes steel beams, concreting etc. We also had to pay an additional amount for underpinning. I think building one home would be better for the size of block, across 2 levels. Or 3 levels, if you prefer. Three levels will be more expensive so depends on how much you're willing to spend. Our builder arranged the trades for the bathroom. We purchased all the tiles and fixtures. My builder did have a kitchen company he uses. However, I found a great place that I wanted to use. My builder organised the trades. I'm happy to share other costs with you if you contact me directly to give you an idea. We are about 10km from Darlinghurst. Our renovation involved both an extension and excavation. We do have a DA approved to add another level, however we have estimated that will cost about $150k. Which we may do in a few years if needed....See MoreRenovation of 1980`s house need ideas please
Comments (14)Re converting the verandahs: the fittings appear to be in good condition, so are the internal rooms small, or would some rooms benefit from extra storage or 'elbow room'? It might be useful for you to check costings with some builders, and then local real estate agents to verify if this is a good investment. Re modernisation: stick to changing the flow and function of the key family workrooms - wet areas (kitchen and bathrooms) and living rooms These will eat into your budget, while adding the most value if carried out well. Removing walls, squaring off internal arches, changing the position of doorways and lighting updates can improve how your home will work for you. Once you have the function sorted, the 'look' is easy by searching the myriad of inspiration on this site for each aspect. Bedrooms, study and connecting rooms can easily be transformed with paint and decor. Changes to the front facade and landscaping would improve the kerb appeal after the internal work is completed. I'm still working on a house of similar vintage - 'too old to be new and too young to be old'. The shag pile and internal slate tiles went years ago, although the kitchen and bathrooms took longer to figure into the budget....See MoreKate
