THE Fixer Upper

November 17, 2017November 17, 2017 ~ thepainterthestylist

In 2014 we purchased a run down, post war, 1940’s gem who had seen better days. Our blog is a story of our ongoing journey renovating and restoring our little lady.

We hope you enjoy reading about her as much as we love living in and restoring her.

Kirsty & Matt

COLOUR CONSULTANCY | our clients took a leap of faith with my colour palette recommendations for their holiday rental in beautiful Busselton. They originally wanted neutrals but decided to try a walk on the dark side and have never looked back. Colour choices are Dulux Ticking and Dulux Limed White Half. If you're in the mood for a holiday in our relaxing south West check out their property @busso_by_the_sea @duluxaus #colourconsultant #painter #perthpainting #colour #dulux #ticking #limedwhite #busselton #westernaustralia #westisbest #house #home #houzz #styling #decor #decorating

EMERALD 💚🌿 I want to paint this colour so much. I suggested it to THE Stylist but she's not keen. What are your thoughts on this Emerald Green?? @haymespaint . . . . #green #emerald #paint #colour #plants #cosy #style #styling #dark #moody #art #love #beautiful #instastyle

This is one of my favourite houses I've painted lately, really quirky layout. The front wall was originally white and water damaged. We repaired as normal but I suggested we paint it a darker colour to make it appear smaller and let the house stand out a little more. Colours used @duluxaus Western Myall @wattylpaint Lilium @colorbondsteel Monument @duluxaus Bee Hall . . . . . #perth #painting #building #construction #contractor #home #house #garden #beauty #beautiful #beforeandafter #renovation #realestate #yellow #black #white #door #love #greenery #makeover

THE KITCHEN | It's been a while since I have written on our Fixer Upper blog. I think this latest renovation needed her own story. Head over to our blog for full before and after photos and our kitchen reno story. Link in Bio.

FRONT | DOOR A nice little spray job on a cool 70s door. I used my handy @gracopaintsprayers ultra on the door. Old methods this would have taken a good 3 or 4 hours by hand including prep. This door got "knocked" over in an hour or so including all prep, multiple coats and re-hanging. It makes colourful front doors even more enjoyable than before. I used @wattylpaint Aqua Enamel semi-gloss in @duluxaus Bee Hall 🐝💛 . . . . . #perth #painting #yellow #home #love #construction #door #house #beforeandafter #homestyling #stylist #contractor #graco #paint #realestate #oldhome #realty #renovation #flip

POP A little colour scheme on this blustery Perth day #wattyl #solverpaints . . . #paint #colour #coffee #tools #yellow #grey #white #painting #home #house #pop #modern #palette #perth #australia #styleblogger #style

RUSTIC | It's not often that the before painting shot is this pretty. Lots of prep for this flaking brick wall before the transformation is complete. . . . #building #architecture #design #art #garden #home #beauty #rust #vintage #upcycle #recycled

HISTORY I stumbled upon this photo the other day and it made me think. Being a professional painter is sometimes not the most glamorous or thought provoking career but I feel very humbled to share the same trade secrets and skills as this man. Obviously times have changed, products, materials and methods improve but we are still the tradespeople at the end of the job, putting all the peices together and making sure the client is truly satisfied. 📷 | Irving Penn . . . . . . #building #construction #contractor #home #house #old #traditional #oldworld #painter #design #photo #history #irvingpenn #photography #london #artist #art #blackandwhite #bnw #skills #knowledge

HERITAGE | REFRESH This old lady is over 130 years old and her front entrance needed some love. The owners have had issues with flaking paint and rising damp so we stripped and grinded the old paint off, repaired, sealed and painted. Back to her former glory for many years to come. Isn't she a beauty? . . . . . . #perth #painter #building #builder #heritage #old #new #beforeandafter #renovation #beautiful #realestate #realty #construction #contractor #home #house #garden #black #white #love #stairs #water #character #fixerupper #arch
