Home Renovation at The Mews
Project Overview
Client purchased this well-constructed house with the intention of residing in the renovated property for at least another 20 years. Thus, the materials chosen are of premium quality with a lasting and luxurious finish.
Avis wanted to remove the wallpaper and repaint the entire house. At the same time, she would like to replace all existing lights with energy-efficient LED ceiling lights.
She intended to designate several rooms for use as home office. Thus, we needed to consider building office desks and cabinets to maximise functional storage space.
I was surprised with the kitchen design, it was exactly what I wanted because I don’t like too many colors in the kitchen. The work done by Jimmy and his team was absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond to achieve utmost customer satisfaction. They were always punctual and hardworking. Their work was always to the highest standard, and Jimmy was always checking their progress and workmanship. A very important aspect for me was how Jimmy was always available to answer any questions and any issues were resolved immediately.

Materials
The custom-made cabinets feature a sleek high gloss acrylic white finish, equipped with Hafele soft close door hinges and Alto soft close drawer runners. Consistency is maintained throughout the house with Brushed Nickel-colored handles adorning all cabinets, matching the door handles. On top of that, the custom-made office desk is crafted from solid American Oak timber, with custom desk legs sourced from Adam Sinclair Furniture’s “Andy” range, finished with a metallic powder coating.
Cabinets, Shelves, Display areas
One of the rooms at the ground floor that has been transformed into a functional home office, has a storage unit constructed against one of the side of wall for organising documents and providing a relaxing sitting area. A spacious timber desk measuring 2250mmX1000mm offers ample workspace for tasks and setting up of digital devices.
In one of the upstairs bedrooms transformed into a home office, a custom-made timber desk sized at 1400mmX800mm has been installed. For efficient utilisation of space, storage units have been incorporated into the roof angle area, with drawers replacing cabinets for easy accessibility.
The rumpus room served as the third office space. One side of the wall is lined with floor-to-ceiling cabinets/pantries, providing ample storage space for documents and files. Additionally, a new desk and storage cabinet complete the setup.
Apart from the office areas, various other functional spaces have been created. These include laundry wall-hung units, shoe cabinets in the garage, and display shelves and cabinets in the bedroom.
Overall Outcome
The house has high ceilings, making it difficult to remove all the wallpaper. After stripping off the wallpaper, we performed full wall skimming followed by one undercoat and two topcoats of paint.
Mobile scaffolding was necessary for this job. Due to the unpredictable winter weather, we had to keep the schedule tight to allow for maximum drying time for the plaster and paint. As all the furniture was custom-made, we have to maintain efficient communication with the client regarding precise measurements, material and colour selection, to ensure everything was right from the beginning.
The task was quite challenging, but we managed to complete it on schedule and the client was really satisfied with the outcome.
