The renovation

-

Did you make any changes to the exterior?

We replaced the cedar on the front of the house with more modern, wider boards and replaced the deck, using purplehear­t timber and adding a glass balustrade. We also painted the exterior. Did you use tradies or do the work yourself?

We used Paul Young and his team from Twin Solutions. They were amazing and had a very high level of attention to detail.

Describe the style you were going for. I just wanted it light, bright and fresh, so I went for white with accents of black and wood.

Any major disasters during the reno process? Not really, but we discovered that the old deck that was being removed had asbestos in it, so we had to get experts in.
