Ideas on how to make better use of space of our late 1940s home

dimanche 7 juin 2015

Hi :) we have just purchased a late 1940s single storey weatherboard house that is in need of some TLC before we move in. Our issue is that we have a limited budget right now, so realistically we'll be doing some initial renovating, and then save up to do something more substantial in around 5 years. I am hoping to get some ideas about what might be possible with the floor plan and get some design ideas for the initial renovation but also have the long term plan in mind so we don't do anything short term that we'd have to completely get rid of in 5 years time. Our budget is around $40k, and so far we have the must do jobs as: minor reblocking (quotes for $1500), heating (and cooling if budget allows), floors (rip up carpet and replace with floorboards - timber or vinyl planks), fix internal areas of cracked render, painting and built in robes in the bedrooms.

I have attached the floor plan and a few pictures of the inside of the house. I would be grateful for any advice or ideas, especially around re doing the kitchen, removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, and between the dining room and living room.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.
