Hi all,
I've always been an avid reader of the renovating blogs, so I thought I'd add my own to keep myself accountable and hopefully get some advice from all you lovely people.
The house - 3 bedroom home offering separate lounge, modern electric kitchen with dishwasher, high 9ft ceilings and polished Murray Pine floorboards, Gas heating plus reverse cycle air conditioner, Single garage with storeroom. Bought about 18 months ago and in desperate need of a renovation (bought with tenant in situ). Photos attached from original listing.
The situation - I had been planning to do a full renovation at the end of the tenant's lease (January), and so had been slowly making plans. Just found out today that the tenant is having to break their lease (long story), and so the renovation is to be moved up!
The plan -
The question - What would you do to brighten up this place? Doesn't need to be to a really high spec, and I'd like to get the best bang for my buck!
Going Forward - I'll be blogging all of the journey from start to finish, including photos where possible, so come along for the ride!
Cheers, Erin.

The plan -
- Completely paint throughout - Hogsbristle quarter on walls, ceiling white, skirtings and architraves white
- Tiling - Bathroom, Laundry and 'Indoor Verandah' thing
- Paint External - Get rid of all mission brown. I'm thinking a forest green colour for the guttering and garage door. I'd love some idea on how to get rid of the brown on the brickwork at the base of the house. Paint? Stone cladding?
- Kitchen - New cabinets and benchtops, new oven and rangehood. Dishwasher is new, only replaced about 6 months ago
- Bathroom - New cabinets. Spray tiles?
- Window Furnishings - Replace all window funishings with white aluminium venetian blinds
