Home & EntertainmentLocal RoomOver the last few months we’ve been following a couple of local room make- overs. It’s been fun, creative and inspiring helping all involved, feel more at HOME.We love a home that’s comfortable, where we can be ourselves and also be hospitable to people around us. Enjoy our before and after shots.PHOTOGRAPHY BY MAREE TURKRenovations1. KIDS BEDROOM IN KILLARABeforeThis DIY took the baby room and transformed into a ‘Tween” appropriate room to suit now and hopefully into the teenage years too.The room is great for doing homework, hanging out, playing Lego, guitar and sleeping comfortably. Getting rid of the carpet helpsto combat against dust allergies.AfterWho: It’s was a family DIY project!! They all got involved!Budget: They spent under $300. Using what they had, plus gaining the bed and large shelf from family was a great saving. The orange desk seat and wardrobe draws were found on the Ku-ring-gai Council road side. The desk wasa fab find at Target. While shelving, paints, flooring and other building needs were sourced from Bunnings and Ikea.62 LIVING LOCAL WINTER 17“Dream, Inspire, Grow” www.livinglocalguide.com.au
