The Story: Ariana and Melissa purchased their Stroud property after Ariana got a job there with the NSW Ambulance Service. They thought it would be a nice place to settle. They have family in Newcastle and buying in Stroud meant they could afford a big property for the family they were planning.
The couple now have 3 boys under the age of 3. There is 3 year old Zac, 18 month old Eli, and 6 week old new born Tane.
All was going to plan until Ariana's job meant that they had to move to Teagardens. As a Paramedic, she has to be on call, which means the family have to live in the place she works. Ariana and Melissa are really desperate to get a sale and feel stuck with the house they own while living somewhere else in a rental.
The Problem: This house had an overall very good interior, but it just had a very old fashion look to it. which needed some modern character injected into it. The carpet was old and daggy, and made the kitchen, dining area and lounge area feel disjointed.
The backyard had a sloping garden, and a large deck which needed replacing - a beast of a project on its own. The shed created an ugly distraction from the deck/entertaining area, and needed to be hidden or covered up.
The Solution: Take the daggy out of the house by sprucing up the interior and exterior. The backyard had a sloping garden, so the old deck was replaced with a new one. Because the deck was so large, it was divided into zones for dining and lounging. A beautiful slatted screen was installed to hide the shed from the entertaining area of the deck, making it more appealing. By matching the paint at the front of the house to the back plus a clean and tidy up, the exterior was brought back to life.
Inside the house, only simple, but effective changes were made. The old fashion feel of the house was banished, injecting some modernism to create some character.
By taking out the carpet in the living/dining area and replacing it with modern laminate, it instantly created flow between the kitchen, dining and lounge areas. It also created the illusion of extra space.
Beach Roman Shades in Series B500 Translucent fabric (White) were installed in the lounge and dining area. Beach Roman Shades added that contemporary feel to the house, and was the perfect colour compliment to the grey and white tones of the house. Luxaflex® Beach Roman Shades are a great insulator, as they can extend past the window frame for full coverage, and the translucent fabric allows for natural sunlight to come into the lounge and dining area - creating the perfect ambiance.
B500 Blockout fabric in White were chosen instead for the bedrooms for privacy and coverage from the natural light. The Beach Romans in the bedroom created a timeless, yet contemporary look, injecting character into the previously dull looking bedrooms.
