Grange Farmhouse Facelift from Front Porch Properties
Front Porch Properties, a QBCC-licensed design and construction business founded by Brisbane local Rachael Turner, has quickly risen to prominence in the building industry. Rachael, a multi-award-winning licensed Master Builder, has been making waves in Brisbane's construction scene since she began flipping houses in 2014. Her innovative approach and dedication to excellence have earned her a reputation as one of the leading figures in the industry.
This signature blend of timeless elegance and modern functionality shines through in Front Porch Properties' latest project, the Grange Farmhouse Facelift. This stunning transformation breathes new life into a 70's farmhouse, blending contemporary design elements with traditional farmhouse charm.
The homeowners, a young family with growing children, needed a flooring solution that could withstand the daily wear and tear of family life while looking good. Known for its durability and water-resistant surface^, hybrid flooring is perfect for homes with spills and high-traffic areas.
For this project, Rachael and the homeowners chose Metropol Oak in the colour 520 Bruny Oak, to harmonise with the home's modern English cottage aesthetic while adding warmth and character to the space.
"The warm, inviting tones perfectly blend with the aesthetic of our Modern English Cottage Renovation. The natural wood grain adds character and depth, while the subtle, rustic charm of Bruny Oak enhances the farmhouse style.” - Rachael Turner
The Grange Farmhouse features a mix of natural stone-look tiles in the kitchen and striking black-and-white patterned tiles in the bathroom and laundry areas. The Bruny Oak flooring effortlessly transitions between these surfaces, creating a cohesive flow throughout the home.
In the living spaces, the hybrid flooring's subtle wood grain adds a layer of sophistication and depth, elevating the farmhouse style into something truly special. The soft underfoot feel of the hybrid flooring ensures that comfort is not compromised for style, making it the perfect choice for a family-friendly environment.
“The hybrid flooring also offers the beautiful look of timber without the high maintenance. For this particular project, it was absolutely the right choice, giving us the look we wanted without the higher cost of an engineered oak floorboard.” - Rachael Turner
