It is our little slice of paradise in Wainui, Auckland. Our character settler-style cottage is a dwelling on Caleb’s family 5 acre farmstead. Our backyard has fenced paddocks, many established fruit trees, a large bush track, and plenty of lawn for the kids to play and the pets to roam. The cottage is full of potential, with gorgeous view from every room, country charm and an impressive open living space. For the first time, we are renovating with no deadline or plan to leave anytime soon - finally a renovation that is all about making a home for our family!

Working with what you have can sometimes be a challenge in a renovation when you have a bathroom layout that doesn’t utilize space and laundry that can barely fit a washer and tub. But both the bathroom and laundry only had the budget for a cosmetic makeover, meaning nothing structural was changing. So everything about this renovation is about problem-solving space solutions and restoring the potential of what we already had. In this blog, we share images of the end result, as well as a breakdown of the cost for every detail we added.
