Comments (16)A great outcome and so suitable for the climate. A subtle but to me big impact was how a lighter floor has made the whole space appear brighter and seems to have lifted the ceiling height. Owners must love the space now....See MoreFederation Home Before & After
Comments (5)Although it has all the elements of what is currently desired, white and dark with a bit of lux, I am finding that it has lost a little of the warmth that was present in the before photos. I appreciate that there were probably some elements that didn't work well and needed to be reworked. As long as the client is happy ........See Moreworried about kitchen renovation
Comments (3)I have been in this exact situation in relation to a reno of our ensuite. As it turned out, once it actually started everything went brilliantly so things may not be as bad as they seem. Some tradies ( like some people generally ) are just not great communicators. I would attempt force a meeting, be honest about your concerns and vulnerabilities and ask to see a timetable based on current lead times for the things on order. From that you can make an informed decision about whether you cut your losses....See MoreComplete Home Renovation - Before & After
Comments (10)Just focussing on the outside , I love what you've done with the front part . Were the dark bricks already there , or were they added ? Here's what I dislike though . Firstly , the tiles all match , except the black caps -- that grates with me . The gable on the original cottage is great , but 2 things irk me . Firstly , why not do a gable on the new addition too , instead of the sloping tiles on the front part of the new addition ? Pretty easy to do , it would reference the 2 parts IMO . And then there is the paint -- an offwhite on the gable , a greyer tone on the upper half of the new build . I realise it is not meant to be a reproduction , but surely you would reference the 2 parts -- I know I would . Which brings me to the lower part of the new build , done in a darker taupe colour -- I would have gone darker still , again to reference the bricks . Maybe just me , but I can't see the point in doing something that sort of refences , but doesn't . And then there are the windows too -- it would be so easy to add a wider frame to reference the existing cottage windows . You and the clients may disagree , but I like details like that to be obviously new , but referencing the old . And 1 final little niggle -- I would have done a crisp white feature rail attached to the wall , between the 2 colours 'upstairs' -- the 2 colours which I would have matched to the existing 'downstairs' ....See MoreSusannah & Co Interior Design
