We are renovating while we build.....

[Elements]

So the reno is being done on a fairly tight budget. With this in mind and my DH being a perfectionist with a half a cup of OCD we are also trying to not get to bogged down in the finer details but still presenting the property with quality.

I thought I would share what we have done so far........
Bathroom has been Painted, towel rails changed, new mirror, added tile height and changed colour of tiles, new basin and cabinets

We also changed the tiles in shower and new taps etc....

I thought we were the only crazy people who renovated and built at the same time. Plus you have a baby- your insane.
It looks great and for that budget- very impressive.
When we renovated for a living we always considered who the buyer was and what standard were they willing to pay for. So the house we did in Willetton did not have the expensive fixtures that we put into the apartment in South Perth. It's hard to resist not going crazy with money.

P.S. I have one of those DH's too

I can't help but love those old style pink bathrooms.

And those mosaic floor tiles of course are totally in

I know how much you guys secretly want pink mosaics to be workes into your homes.
No really there are alot of reno's going on around this area and some of them are really bad. I am serious they are not good and so we decided that no matter what we did as long as it was done properly we would still sell the property for our estimated profit.
We are in a suburb that has new, old and renovated so I am only comparing apples with apples but seriously there are some bad renovators out there and its amazing that others don't see what they are buying....
Anyway, I thought I would work the pink bath and mosaics in rather than tile over(not a fan) and paint the bath(not a fan) and taking the bath out and replacing was just not essential if we were going to keep the pink um I mean pinky taupe mosaics.
I will show you the master next.

Great renovation! So glad you kept the bath- it's cute and would have saved you a lot of time and cash.

Its much easier given how many photos I have to show you that I do it in all befores and then all afters........

So before.....
