Thank you. We were pleased that we got back what we had put in, and a little on top of that but certainly wasn't heaps. On to the…

I actually like the look of it, my main thoughts are window colour is doing nothing for it, nor is the terracotta stairs or the front door and tiled roof…

So latest update is that we finished the 70s Monstrosity and sold her last month, and have moved away from the area, here is the final product, what a mammoth…

Thank you! The floors were fortunately in place, hubby who is a floor sander just had to bring them back to former glory.
Here's a shot of our progress in…

Tackled the next bedroom, just got to fit the bedroom door and a couple of trims but otherwise nearly complete


Yes it looks like the guest bedroom...that is because our daughter…

So progress has been a bit challenging of late, I had to head away for work for four weeks which left hubby trying to work, kid wrangle and progress the…

We are painting in white and have gone with a Resene tint called Double Alabaster. We are using Alabaster on the ceilings and Alabaster on the trims.

I'd probably look at putting more ironstone around, but I prefer dark colours. It also depends if you want an overall muted front or if you want particular features…

Latest project has been creating a walk in robe for the Master bedroom.
First to cut a hole in the wall...
The small space was a walk in style robe for…

Looks great! I still love the grey, timber, white combo, we've used it alot too. I really like those white handles, they are cool. We have the…

Fantastic idea! Great job!

I assume you are doing a reno? Are you lifting the old tiles or tiling over the top? We've tiled ourselves, if you look at my thread 'Renovating…

I would say $10k per bathroom is pretty good. I think it probably depends on what area you are in as well as that can also affect prices of…

Oooo exciting, design looks great, and your choices, will be great to see it progress over the coming months.

Looking good!

I think it's personal preference. We have the same sink style as what you are going for and ours is centered to our window not the bench and we…

Hey Phoebe how did you go? Did you end up buying? We bought a 1970's renovator at the end of 2016, few similar features to the one you…

Hey, yes there are actually drain holes in the garden beds, if you look closely at the pics you'll see them and all are draining well. When we waterproof,…

So I still haven't done those finished photos of the kitchen...I'll get to it...lol
But...here's an update of pretty much what we're working on currently as it's a pretty big project.

So…

We worked on getting the kitchen in next

It's pretty much finished now but just need to get some proper photos to put up

Yes I know but it needed to go because of the new kitchen as well as being able to change the lighting to downlights, whereas we've retained the timber ceiling…

Yes it did we're really happy with it!

Then the concrete was polished it was such a great moment to finally be rid of the ugly rough floor

Looking good guys, some of your choices have been similar to ours.

Then we pulled down the old celing in the kitchen and put up a new one

And then started removing all of the old kitchen ready for the concrete to be…

Next to work on was removing a wall, this one...

In order to open up the kitchen to the rest of the living areas

Next was to work on downstairs to paint, get the floors ready for polishing and get the kitchen done as well

We decided we wanted to lift all the tiles…

So next thing to tackle was the laundry...

Hubby did most of the jack hammering but I did get in and give it a crack too

Tiling - our tiles that will…

Thank you! We're located in North Queensland.

Then to skip forward...this was the finished product
