Originally named ‘Blenheim House’, this majestic New Farm home was originally constructed circa 1887. She’s a special part of Brisbane’s history and encompasses everything I love about a home; history, character and mood.  Below, we show you round one of a two-part renovation that was in fact carried out way back in 2019. Round one called for relatively moderate changes to make the more enjoyable for this growing family of 5.  Next year, this beautiful home will be altered by a much more significant renovation in accordance with local Heritage requirements but for now, enjoy Annie Street round one.

About 6 years ago my sister and family moved into a quirky mid century style home on the Gold Coast. It got a complete internal renovation but the bedrooms were left very, very naked (boring) so at the beginning of this year they got a full overhaul and what a transformation.
