There's something deeply satisfying about a good before and after. Especially when the transformation is BIG, but the charm that made you fall in love with the original is still very much there.
Take our sweet little cottage in Sydney’s South. She had good bones and plenty of potential, but with her all-white exterior, uninspired garden and no front fence or gate, she wasn't exactly turning heads.
What she needed was a little TLC, a few clever updates and a whole lot of love.
The brief? Give this charming cottage a fresh new look and some serious street appeal, without stripping away the character that made her special in the first place.
So we got to work with beautiful new cladding and trim from James Hardie, gorgeous exterior finishes from Amber, a soft green colour palette, a refreshed roof, a new front door and some lovely curved landscaping. We even kept the existing windows. Because a clever reno is just as much about knowing what to keep as what to change.
And the result? Well, she's gone from a little plain Jane to positively come hither. Warm, welcoming and full of personality, with the kind of street appeal that makes you want to swing open the front gate, wander up the recycled brick pathway and settle in for an Aperol Spritz on the porch.
Same gorgeous cottage. Just looking like she's had a VERY good holiday.
