Thread: 1q2w3e4r's digs (AKA as Benny The Kid)

Upstairs main bathroom outlook






Outdoor seating area off downstairs slate floored TV room. This also fronts onto the private courtyard at the front of the house. Check out the three different type of hard surfaces! Two different pavers and some lovely concrete.






Master ensuite outlook







Skipping ahead a bit... The interior painting begins, the house had a lot of pink and green rooms previously. Laying the base coat







Master bedroom







Downstairs bathroom







Some progress. Tiling begins on the bathrooms... This is the main upstairs bathroom upstairs. The tile supplied had some special protectant on them to stop them being scratched in transport. It took the builder 2 days to remove it all from all the tiles using some special powder that looked like talcum powder.







The spa bath installed

The downstairs TV room. I had the wall rendered to cover over the exposed brick work and had the archway cut out of the door. The support beams were also painted a neutral colour.





Upstairs main bathroom.







Ensuite all gyprocked and ready for tiles







Bi fold doors installed in TV room to give walkthrough access from the private courtyard to pool area and backyard






Home office finished and awaiting furniture







Complete ready to move in

Skipping ahead in the build to the finished product. New roof lining and down lights installed throughout







Furniture arrives after 8 months storage















Kitchen has ceasar stone benches with Blum self closing draws and (obvious benchtop returns which are the one thing I would rethink)







Also used glass splash backs for the kitchen







Other downstairs TV room, note that the support beams aren't an eye sore anymore







Master bedroom

Kitchen needs a center island

Home looks much better

definitely looks much better....

Looking very nice what part of the country is this home located, in the first couple of photographs I would have guess Santa Barbara but with all the brick work I don't think this is California.
