I've mentioned before my little flock of bats- 1BRs- some of which I have let out as furnished.
I've just had some old technology photos back- just as well, because my new technology digital went bust.
It was a bit dark, with tatty carpet, a rather badly scratched wood floor, and the same drab cream on all walls and ceilings.
I've painted the ceilings white, as it did appear a bit dark.
The left and right walls are original colour. I've given a feature wall, to add to the interest, and to contrast with the read & black furniture.
I've ripped up the tatty carpet in the living area, and polished the floor (including the damaged exposed wood which was in the kitchen area).
Furniture supplied (apart from stove/microwave/bar fridge/washing machine already there) was:
.Leather lounge (hopefully longer lasting)
.Table and chairs
.Corner TV/hifi unit
.51 cm TV
.small hifi
.DVD/VCR
.double bed
Total refurbish/furnishing cost- about $2.5K
Extra rent- about $40 pw (low, but this is bottom of the market stuff in the ACT- still a very good return on investment).
