A Little Fluff Goes A Long Way
After all the planning and hard work, the final result is amazing. This cute house was a pleasure to work on and to stage, we are ecstatic with the results! Please leave a comment and let us know what you think. Click on the image below to view a slide show of this project.
The main bath was so dated. The corner shower felt really grimy, a new one was definitely in order. The cream soaker tub had to be saved for budgetary reasons, so we had to work around that. New brushed nickel hardware and a new cabinet did the trick. The gold trim and frosted door on the shower really dated this bathroom, a quick and inexpensive fix was to put in new clear glass doors and some new hardware (note the new faucet on the soaker tub) in a chrome or nickel finish that will stand the test of time and keeps this bathroom looking fresh.
The kitchen really needed a new look. The cabinets were in surprising good condition and were white, why change them? A good scrub and they brightened right up. This particular kitchen didn’t require it but another quick fix is to change the cabinet hardware, inexpensive and makes a world of difference. We added stainless steel appliances, which always boost the look of a kitchen (we also put in an OTR microwave), a coat of paint and a good clean and voila! A fresh new kitchen.
The fireplace was charred and dirty as it had once been a wood burning fireplace, it’s long since been converted to gas. There was a firebox for wood storage that we converted to decorative shelving and the fireplace cleaned up nicely. We painted over the gold portions of the fireplace a matte black to modernize the appearance (a quick fix that does wonders for the room).
First Step was to remove the mouldy, dilapidated sun room, clean up and repair the exterior of the house, and make the pool area family friendly.
We also added some landscaping and painted the front door. We chose a lovely shade of blue from Sarah Richardsons Designer Palette, by Para Paints.
The we chose color is ”Launch SR40″. We chose blue because it is a universally appealing color it’s inviting and works really well with the cream undertones of the existing siding.
Next we’ll tackle the inside of the house…
We were recently asked by our client, Wedgewood Developments, to do a scope of work for an investment property they had purchased. The purpose is to do a renovation that would bring the house up to its potential and stage it to show to potential renters. The 3 bedroom bungalow although in need of a lot of TLC has great potential. We will be posting updates throughout the progress of the renovation along with any tips and tricks that come up along the way! Here are some before photos to give you an idea.
