We are so excited to reveal our latest project.

We had so many compliments from our trades throughout the build that one of them even offered to buy it. It’s almost too pretty to be a rental. What do you think?

PROJECT | CAUCASUS

Colour scheme for my first built home as a registered Builder or fourth if you include Owner built homes but who’s counting? Oh right, me!

On this project I wanted to go with a more moodier colour palette and I’m really loving the warm cosy tones that’ll time perfectly for winter.

We should be completed within the next few weeks so stay tuned for more updates as we progress!

REVIEW

“Where do I start? Well for the last 10 years we’ve wanted to “do this” or “do that” to update our home, but being time poor with full time jobs, shift work and a cute fur baby to look after we didn’t know where to start. Last year I happened to find Norelle from Design Draft Construct on Insta, her posts were stunning, modern and the style I was looking for. We made contact and from the get go she was professional, easy to work with, understood what I wanted / needed and was a great sounding board for our ideas.
Anyone not knowing where to start with your makeover, contact Norelle and you’ll see it’s easier than you thought.
Thank you Norelle, love love love my home.
Nancy and Phil.”

External before and afters.
This 14 year old ex rental was looking pretty tired and needed a refresh as the owner had decided to sell.

The dark grey on the facade felt quite heavy and we wanted the outside to reflect the bright and airy coastal feel we had planned for the interior. There were five colours on the facade which just felt too busy so I took the window colour and we painted over the two grey sections for a more cohesive look but the dark grey garage door still dominated and felt like a big black hole and still didn’t feel coastal. The clients budget didn’t allow for a new door so we decided to paint it the same colour as the gutters and render above the window and what a difference it made! Bright and airy ✅

The alfresco decking hadn’t been touched in ten years and the stain was peeling off. We had originally planned to sand and restain but it needed to tie in with the timber floors inside. We needed something warm so we chose Dulux Ancient Ruin and this ended up working out cheaper for the client. Win win all round.

This home is currently for sale on realestate.com check it out before it’s gone!

Internal before and afters.
Here, we worked the colours back from the items that were to stay.

The ceilings and walls were a cream and clashed with the window frames so we lightened them with Dulux Lexicon Quarter and laid Hybrid timber over the grey tiles in the main living areas which has brightened and added a beautiful warmth back into the home.

In the kitchen, we removed all the joinery and appliances. I used the window colour for the two packed cabinets and added a crisp white stone on top. YDL Stone has slightly larger stone slabs which enabled us to utilise the entire width and extend the island out by 13cm so it could be used as a breakfast bar.

In the bathroom and ensuite, we removed the old white vanities and replaced them with Laminex Urban Planked Oak joinery. It not only matches the hybrid floor perfectly but adds a nice warmth to the wet areas and ties these two rooms in with the rest of the house.

This home is currently listed for sale of realestate.com go check it out before it’s gone!

Our first renovation for the year is now complete. My clients reached out back in June of last year as they felt it was time to renovate the Henley home they’d been living in for the past 20 years. They needed help to visualise the style, colours and layout they were after so I came up with several 3D options for them to choose from before they decided on the final design that you‘ll find herein.

Once all the selections, quotes and costings were finalised we signed the contract to install a new kitchen, laundry and powder room along with giving the ground floor a bit of an update to have a more modern feel.

The clients threw in a couple of variations along the way but we were able accomodate them quite easily and schedule them in accordingly. We have a great team of trades that we love working with, who were able to come back to help us out and complete the renovation in as little as 11 weeks.

I’ve included some before photo’s along with the 3D concepts and the finished product.

To my clients, it has been a pleasure working with you both. We hope we have met all your expectations and you enjoy your newly renovated home. 🙏☺️
