"90s to Now" Kitchen & Bathroom Transformation
Our clients had lived in their family home for many years and recently became empty nesters. After all the years raising a family and making do, they decided it was their time to have a beautiful home that met their changing needs. When I first met them the home was quite dark, the kitchen was a lovely shade of 90’s pink, and the bathroom had seen better days.

They had concerns over their entry to the home too. Many years back they had filled in the porch area to create more space for the family to have a study. Unfortunately, this had pushed the front door out right to the edge of the steps and made getting in and out precarious as you had to step back to open the screen door.

Entry After:
The brief was to bring in light, have lots of room to cook and bake and not have to put the appliances away afterward, to have room for all the family to visit and eat, a bathroom that was functional and beautiful and most of all fix the front entrance. The results are wonderful and they have never been happier and more comfortable at home.

Comments (21)Katherine, I am just curious about the look of the rest of your house? For example, what look is the kitchen and external look of house. I love your bathroom, but not sure if it would match the era of my house. I am beginning to think that in bathrooms, they really only look unique and have an extra "something" when the floors aren't the typical grey, charcoal, beige........not sure what to do yet with mine......See MoreBudget mid-century bathroom renovation, before and after
Comments (5)This looks great. Our bathroom had the same layout, but we managed to fit a much longer bath and a toilet in by moving the vanity from under the window to the left hand wall, putting the longer bath under the window, putting a toilet where the bath was previously and leaving the shower in the same position. We also changed the door to a cavity sliding door to take up less space in the room. We had a similarly awful 80s renovation in ours too, and used the same sort of wall tile...See MorePlans almost there... but bathroom layout?
Comments (63)I don’t think that you achieving your goals of a smart use of spaces. If designing for wheelchair access, the bathrooms are not big enough. There is a very good standard on space requirement for wheelchairs. it is gold level of https://dfat.gov.au/about-us/publications/Documents/accessibility-design-guide.pdf Are you working with an architect? Wheelchair access is tricking as one has to think in navigating in a full circle spin. Doorways need to be 900-1000. Bathrooms need to be wet rooms rather than the conventional. There are some great architects in the Wide Bay Area, who will design function over form and at a manageable cost. It may be worthwhile investigating....See More
