When we moved in, most of the interior was grayish lavender. The master bedroom had a candy-pink accent wall, and one of the other bedrooms had a cobalt-blue one. We decided to repaint the entire interior of the property, including walls and ceilings, a vivid white. It took about a month of back-breaking, eye-stinging work. However, the transformation was incredible. The property seemed so much lighter and brighter afterward, and it felt like that coat of paint shaved years off the house's age (circa 1960). My husband also repainted the shed and fences steel gray, giving the whole exterior a new lease on life. Overall, the paint and materials probably cost us about AU$2,000.
The backyard was uneven when we moved in, so my husband hired an excavator to flatten the soil out and lay fresh grass. Next, he planted some insect-attracting native Australian flowers. Before we knew it, they were in full bloom and buzzing with life. My husband also created a hanging vertical garden and replaced the front porch tiles which greatly improved the aesthetic and functionality of that space.
