Well today I thought I’d like to share the progress of our renovation. As you may remember we bought a run down renovators delight. It is in terrible condition but has amazing views of the coast, river and bay. Our vision is to create a beautiful relaxed home on the upper level with a one bedroom unit on the lower level. This is what we have done in the last 3 months:
We have started renovating by removing all of these garden beds and building new retaining walls at the front of the house to create a parking bay.
This is our inspiration for the design of our courtyard!
We can’t finish off the courtyard until we have finished the renovation at the back of the house. So we are now pulling apart and rebuilding the lower level to create a unit.

We plan to create a light filled space with white walls, grey, pink, and timber hues.
Well as you can see, we still have a long way to go and we are still living on a building site, but it is worth the effort to create something we love. We are also adding great value to the home, increasing our collateral and borrowing power. We certainly are mad renovators and after 28 years we still love the challenge of it all!
So keep following our progress and hope you are inspired to have a go too at renovating your space to create that beautiful home on a budget!
