Well I have compiled a list of open houses for today, seven actually. Only three are within my price range. Just curious to see the others for ideas and exactly what they have done to warrant their prices. One question is, why oh why must home owners carry out butcher renovations. It will only cost more money to restore or fix a poor renovation that was done in bad taste. For example, why on earth would you replace an original kitchen with a modern RED, two pack polyurethane kitchen. Real estate advertisements refer to this as a 'stylish European kitchen'.....yuck!
Take for instance this living room below, its had a slight reno back in the 70's, but nothing to major. How wonderful this living room would look, if the timber laminate veneer was removed from the walls, and rip up the carpet. Paint the decorative ceiling in fresh white and walls in a warm off white to contrast with the dark stained floor boards (in a satin finish - no high sheen floor boards here). Go one step further and replace the ceiling light with something more groovy, and sheer white blinds to allow maximum light. This would be the basis for a very contemporary yet traditional living room. (photo courtesy of Domain)
