Wow that is SOME reno, too modern for my taste but impressive and kudos for the lovely pale blue glass backsplash - congrats and enjoy. ( first to say they preferred the rustic charm of "before" gets custard pie in face ;p )

Wowzers! What a transformation.

Very , very nicely done , and clever too ! It looks like you have used the existing windows and joinery , added those white gloss pillar 'covers' to modernise the whole look , and the lattice centre piece not only adds interest , but would also add light around the front door too . It also looks like you have added a garage on the right hand side , all in the same style to tie it all in . Like Courtenay , I love the entrance , although just personally , I would have done the gate in a slightly darker stain -- it looks a bit light ( to me ) in comparison with the shingles , and the painted brick -- especially as the gate will fade , the bricks not so much . Really , my only 'picky' bit . Well , apart from the copy writer , who has a heading about a Hamilton makeover , then talks about Tauranga architects and Tauranga's Fraser Street haha -- a small error , but why ?

New decking with a boardwalk feature and generous platform stairs have transformed this narrow unused back garden into the highlight of the home. Specimen trees and perennial plantings in green and white complete the look. Amazing change - even in the middle of winter! BEFORE: AFTER:
