Home renovation project…. more ‘before’ shots
Posted by Toni Collins | Renovation, VR Blog | No Comments
More ‘before’ shots.
Yes, this is what our cupboards look like – all four of them.
You may recall… I mentioned our project was due to commence in November…
Well… November came and went, and the kitchen remains a beige beauty awaiting a face-lift.
Perhaps some slippage in the schedule, a few unexpected delays here and there, is all just customary and an essential part of the renovation ‘experience’? If this is the case, our project will be no exception and is running perfectly to script.
On the bright side – this presents an opportunity to ponder in the ‘before’ a little longer, revealing the internal machinations of our kitchen. Yes, this is what our cupboards look like – all four of them. (Please note: no special attention has been given to the styling, in order to dramatise or misrepresent the severity of the situation. They really are that cluttered and dysfunctional.)
And as for the food pantry… there may be cans of soup up the back, first acquired in 2006. It’s possible! (I am really not sure what is going on back there.)
So what is happening next?
As of Monday Nov 25th materials arrived for our Carpenter to start fashioning these materials into something to transform our kitchen. He is working away in his factory and around Dec 10th is when the installation at home may commence. I will keep you posted… but those ‘after’ shots are not likely to be available until the New Year. Sorry to keep you waiting.

As a result of our work we are privileged to be invited into people’s homes, to play a small (yet productive) role within the disruptive process of home renovations, or new home builds. I recall meeting with a client earlier this year as we discussed artwork options for her new kitchen and she asked me, ‘what sort of splash back do you have? It must be good’. My answer was, ‘…a very ordinary one… in fact, it’s quite shameful.’ I am nothing if not honest… but you be the judge… what do you think of our kitchen? (Seen above.) While I can share case studies, showing kitchens we have provided VR Art Glass for – which look lovely, our own kitchen is only suitable for the ‘before’ shot.
Well that is soon going to change! Enter Interior Designer Patricia La Torre of Outside Inside Building Elements.
When we first met Patricia to discuss our home improvements project, our two main concerns were: storage is difficult, and home is not comfortable to live in. Being a good client, I had a brief prepared, and I wrote, ‘we love where we live, and appreciate the many positive attributes of the space. We would however like to make better use of our space and add some design features which will increase the comfort and aesthetic enjoyment of our home.”
Patricia set about designing a very exciting kitchen and living area renovation. And before making selections for the finishes of cabinetry and benches, Patricia wanted our artwork choice for the splash back. Once deciding on Elements # 17, this piece provided an inspiration source for Patricia to recommend finishes and colours for the entire renovation.
The photos show you our kitchen now – the ‘before’ shot. The installation of our ‘home improvements’ project is due to commence in November, so we will share the ‘after’ shots in the very near future.
