Project Overview
This older cladding home was refreshed with a modern colour palette, giving it a more appealing and market-ready presence. The eaves were finished in Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen Lexicon, creating a fresh and bright look, while the gutters, fascia, and downpipes were painted in Dulux Weathershield Semi Gloss Colorbond Night Sky to introduce depth, contrast, and crisp definition. The exterior walls were coated in Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen Terrace White, delivering a clean and timeless finish, with the barge boards painted in the same colour to maintain visual consistency throughout. The columns were completed in Weathershield Semi Gloss Lexicon, adding a refined touch to the overall presentation.
To make the process more convenient, minor repair and basic handyman tasks were also taken care of as part of the preparation, avoiding the need to bring in additional trades for small items. The result is a dated exterior transformed into a bright, modern home, where the high-contrast trim provides clean, crisp architectural detail and greatly enhances the property’s street appeal for sale.
MasterBedroom
The master bedroom showcases a refined and elegant atmosphere, enhanced by meticulous paint finishes throughout. The ceiling has been crisply finished with Dulux Fast Finish Ceiling & Undercoat, creating a bright and polished look, while the walls are painted in Dulux Wash & Wear Super Hide Low Sheen in Lexicon Quarter, delivering a soft, sophisticated white palette. The skirting boards and window frames are finished in Dulux Aquanamel Semi Gloss, also in Lexicon Quarter, bringing a seamless sense of cohesion and understated luxury to the space. For a flawless result, the wardrobe doors were carefully removed, professionally spray-painted, and precisely reinstalled, ensuring a smooth, high-quality finish. Paired with the striking black fireplace, the crisp white walls create a beautiful balance of timeless elegance and inviting comfort.

The ceiling was completed with Dulux Fast Finish Ceiling & Undercoat, giving the space a fresh and clean appearance, while the walls were painted in Dulux Wash & Wear Super Hide Low Sheen in Lexicon Quarter, delivering a soft and sophisticated white palette. The skirting boards and window frames were finished in Dulux Aquanamel Semi Gloss, also in Lexicon Quarter, adding cohesion and a refined level of detail throughout the room. As areas near lighting tend to reveal brush and roller marks more easily, extra care was taken during the finishing process to achieve a smooth and polished result. Chosen to work in harmony with the lighting, the wall colour enhances the room with a gentle brightness and welcoming feel, creating a bedroom that is both elegant and restful.

This home also carries a special story, with decorative floor tiles laid by the owner’s own hands — a meaningful reflection of genuine care and affection for the space. That personal touch adds warmth and character, making this bedroom feel not only beautifully presented, but truly lived in and loved.

Bathroom & Laundry
The bathroom and laundry have been refreshed with moisture-resistant finishes and careful detailing, creating a bright, clean, and practical space.

Before painting, all mould was thoroughly treated and removed with a mould killer to help prevent future issues and ensure long-lasting performance. Particular attention was also given to the joint between the cornice and tile, where careful masking and caulking help keep moisture out while maintaining a flawless finish. Lasting protection begins in the details, and these thoughtful finishing touches enhance both the durability and presentation of the bathroom and laundry.
Deck
The deck area has been carefully refreshed with high-performance exterior finishes and thorough preparation, creating a clean, polished, and well-presented outdoor space.

The deck itself was treated with Cutek Extreme CD50, enriching the natural character of the timber while improving its durability and long-term protection.
A lasting exterior finish always begins with proper preparation. The surface was cleaned with an exterior cleaner and thoroughly washed to ensure the timber and surrounding finishes were ready to perform at their best over time. Trusted for its excellence, Cutek Wood Oil offers outstanding durability and premium quality, helping keep the timber looking its best while adding lasting protection and a refined finish to the space.
Garage

The garage doors were sprayed using a Graco HVLP sprayer, achieving a smooth, factory-like pre-finish quality with an even and highly polished result. Even in a functional space, the standard of finish should never be lowered. A painted garage door should still reflect the same elegance, care, and perfection as the rest of the home, with craftsmanship that remains uncompromising in every detail.
