This Inspiring Transformation Reveals The Potential Of A Run-of-the-mill ’60s Home.

Tamara Simoneau
Renovation: Bayside Jewel
POOL AREA For homeowners Gav and Maree, pictured here with daughter Sienna and dog Malibu, their diamond-in-the-rough Queensland home offered renovation appeal at first glance. Here, the existing pool was given a new chill-out zone, thanks to a platform clad in grey decking planks (for a similar style, look at Hardie Deck’s cement fibre options). Gav added a privacy wall using Weathertex Self Lok Ecogroove and painted it to match the home’s exterior. The resort feel is enhanced by a comfortably oversized outdoor setting (try the Hamptons range from Outdoor Furniture Ideas for similar) and a timber bar cart found at a salvage shop. Rapee ‘Riviera Stripe’ outdoor cushions from Zanui and a wall-mounted buoy found on Gumtree add the perfect finishing touches.

LIVING AREA Maree was given the two occasional chairs (top right) by a family member; she painted the frames white and reupholstered the seating with ‘Texas’ upholstery fabric in Silver from Spotlight (for a ready-made option, try Coco Republic’s ‘Santa Monica’ armchairs). DIY cushions with ‘Pyne Hollyhock’ floral fabric in Indigo by Schumacher balance out the colour palette of soft neutrals. The large ottoman – scored at a garage sale – was re-covered in a black-and-white fabric and a Home Republic ‘Adelfi’ rug in Stone Marle from Adairs adds softness atop white oak-look flooring (try Polyflor’s Planed White Oak for similar).
