Home Renovations Focus - Christchurch

The Mission

Karen and her husband Dennis were looking for a Reno challenge, and when they came across "As Is Where Is" 31 Slater St, they knew they had something to sink their teeth into.

"It was a total gutting", explains Karen. "Although we thought we may be able to save the tin ceilings, they were too rusted, and we didn't want to see this grand old lady pulled down to make way for yet more townhouses."

"We knew she could be bought back to her former glory with a few modern tweaks and think the best surprise was when we started stripping the front entrance to find the original portico was still intact. This feature alone has brought back this grand old lady's character."
