INVESTMENT UNIT RENOVATION: A quick renovation of this little unit in Potts Point. 📷🎉 That view! 🤩🤩🤩 The benefits of a freshly renovated investment property aren’t just the additional rent received per week. We’ve also noticed the projects we renovate are always leased almost immediately, and to a much higher quality tennant for longer periods of time (less problems with tenants + less gaps between tenants). Which was the same result with this project. We hope this newly renovated unit brings years of trouble free yields to our property investor client. ✊👌😎 (We’re also sure the lucky tennant is going to enjoy NYE! Nearly the best seat in the house 📷🎉🔥🎇 🤩) #sydneybuilder #sydneyinteriors #sydneybathrooms #pottspoint (at Potts Point, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_qV3hlcH_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ziuhvmiczzop

When you’re about to get upset with your city and then she turns around and gives you this look 😍 Matt and some of the team are about to give this Potts Point unit a quick makeover to match the views. #sydneyrenovations #sydneybuilder #strata (at Potts Point, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmr3meRA3-Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ongvaxbp2ksd

LOOK at the traditional timber floorboards we found under the carpet 😍 We would’ve loved to have seen them polished up and restored them to their former glory, the neighbors in the unit below however, may not have loved the extra noise 🙉. Solution: clean them up ready for Regupol underfloor insulation and new wide board spotted gum laid perpendicular to the original boards. We can’t decide what to look at, those water views or that spotted gum floor 🤩 #strataapproved #happyneighbors #regupol #spottedgumflooring #sydneyinteriors #sydneyrenovations #sydneybuilder (at Rose Bay, New South Wales)

The little details all add up at the end. It would’ve been much quicker to lay those traditional look tiles into a metal angle at the door instead of specially sourcing that spotted gum threshold step, and quicker to just run the skirting below it straight through, but that’s not the way they did back in the day, so that’s not the way we’d do it either. . . .

Who says builders don’t care. 💛🤓☺️. They’ll never know how many times we used tools or switched to quieter tasks first thing in the morning, or waited to start the super noise tasks until they went to work, but they’ll know we appreciate empathetic neighbors as much as they appreciate empathetic builders. #empaheticbuilder #happyneighbors #happyneighborshappylife #everyunitgetsone #originalidea #yousawitherefirst #itmaycatchon #sydneyrenovations #sydneyinteriors #unitrenovations (at Eastern Suburbs)

🌹Rose Bay renovation 🌹 traditional kitchen makeover, Wide board spotted gum flooring. There was originally going to be a bulkhead where the existing dining wall was removed. We went to a bit of extra trouble to delete the bulkhead and install new continuous flush ceilings through both rooms. We think it was worth the effort?? (See our fb page if you like “during” shots. 🔨👀👍 Designer: @smartspaceinteriors, Electrical @bradcurlelectric photography: @liammolloy #sydneyrenovations #sydneyinteriordesign #kitchenrenovation #sydneyartdeco #spottedgumflooring #itsthelittlethings (at Sydney - City & Eastern Suburbs)

ANNANDALE EXTENSION INC KITCHEN AND BATHROOM: It’s a very rare occasion that we get involved with owner builder projects these days.... We’ve come to specialise in projects where we take care of the whole design and build ourselves for a smooth process. In this particular case, the “owner builder” was someone Kurt and I did our builders license over 10 years ago (and have been mates with ever since) we were willing to make an exception. 😉🙊😎🔨👌 His similar high level of attention to detail as ours meant the final product is a project we very we’re proud to have been associated with👏 The architect engaged we’re told did a great job with the design and being a local himself was well accustomed to dealing with the local council ✅ The project incorporated polished concrete, timber highlights and combination of contemporary finishes that marry up to the period details of the existing home perfectly. There’s literally hundreds of minute touches, that you may not notice until you look very closely, and when they’re all put together are what’s responsible for the high end finish you see in the pictures. Details like the light-well and skylight in the bathroom, custom made air con vent, highlight window over the bathroom door, shadow line finishes, folding “e glass” doors out on to the patio that meet up perfectly with the polished concrete for a seemless transition into the courtyard. The list really does as they say “go on and on”. Enjoy your newly finished extension Chad and Victoria it was great to be a part of it. 👏👌👍 Architect:Kieran Burns @3dhabitat Builder/project managed by Chad Chesmar. 📷 @reniindrawan.photography

Who wants a magazine worthy bathroom like this one!? 🤩 (Hint: me! 😂) The old bathroom was completely stripped (including floor sheets and ceiling). The particle board flooring was replaced with fiber cement sheets, the ceiling replaced with new aqua-check (square set/no cornices for a sleeker look). The old large window changed for a highlight window, to allow for the shower to be positioned at the end of the room. The old walls were bent like bananas, so time was spent painstakingly straightening them ready for the large format and feature tiles to sit perfectly. The features like “linen” texture tiles and herring bone feature wall with niche (a job for skilled tilers only! 🤓) , frameless glass panel (with no door) and floating vanity all come together to give the high end finish seen in the pictures. Other features: - heated towel rail - smartwaste tile insert floor drain and channel drain - under bench lighting - heated flooring - new downlights - duel sinks.... etc etc The “Mercedes Benz” of bathrooms (with all the options) 😎👌👍 Credits: Interior designer 👩‍🎨 Anoushka Allum @smartspaceinteriors Electrical and lighting Brad Curl @bradcurlelectric .

REDFERN PENTHOUSE REFURBISHMENT: This was a unit refurb we completed earlier this year. The original kitchen was smaller, with a dividing wall and entry area (roughly where the wine fridge is). The dividing wall and entry joinery was removed to create one large “penthouse worthy” kitchen! The cleverly designed 2 level stone island Benchtop with waterfall gave the unit a pseudo dining room. No more eating dinner on the couch 🍴👌😎 The combination of hand made pendant lighting, high end appliances, new floating floor and new relocated downlights gives the whole unit a high end feel worthy of its panoramic city views! 🤩🤩🤩 Another awesome design Anoushka Allum of SmartSpace Interiors. Excellent job on the joinery by Joe from JLK kitchens (including wardrobes in the pics), electrical and lighting by Brad Curl and the guys at BC Electrical & Data and last but not least, well supervised Matt and great work to the rest of the Lifestyle team 🙏👌👍🎉
