Art Deco Apartment Makeover! Before & After Reveal + Styling Interior Tips! 🏘️

- We take you behind the scenes on a closer look inside the recent makeover of my Art Deco apartment. You might remember this rad looking pad that we featured earlier this year and it was also one of the first homes to feature in our Let Us In Home Tour series. I have been lucky to call this place home for the last 10 years, but recently I’ve moved into new and bigger digs which sadly means that it’s time to put this old dame on the market. And I do mean old guys, she was built in 1940. The building itself is Art Deco and was designed by architect Stuart Hall and is now protected by a Heritage overlay. Recently we finished giving the exterior of the building a facelift with a new paint job and brand new Palm Springs inspired garden. So now that the outside looks rad, it’s time to give the inside a modern makeover!
This old gal has great bones and luckily I don’t have to change much structurally. Instead I’m going to be focusing on highlighting the apartment’s best features and enhancing the overall feeling of scale in this small pad.
First, we’re going to lighten up the entire apartment with paint, because there ain’t nothing a fresh coat of paint can’t fix. We’ll be painting all the walls in every room including the kitchen cabinets which need some serious repair. The bathroom is a bit of a disaster I’ll be honest. It’s not very functional, it’s very pokey and so we’ll be stripping that out and replacing the cabinetry, adding more storage, plus a couple of cosmetic fixes to make everything look ten times better…
The windows are easily this apartment’s best asset … it has got the sexiest curved window ever so I need to make sure I highlight. Currently, the window furnishings are either broken, tired or ugly. So they need just need to disappear and be replaced with something far superior. Then I just need to find the perfect furniture and decor to style up the space. I’m wanting to create a modern coastal vibe inside which will really suit the Palm Spring style outside. Hopefully, when I’m finished, this empty and tired old pad will magically transform (after lots of hard work!) into a super chill, yet sophisticated paradise!

I like the apartment make over but disappointed as not Art Deco. Loved the plantation blinds. Beautiful Art Deco apartment from the outside. Beautiful curved window. Sure you’ll sell it in no time. X
The building itself maybe is art deco but the decor is minimalist
I hope to see Art Deco and the minimalist trend start to blend. Maybe a lil boho with it to.
Joseph O’Dell like parisian inspired!
We renovated a 1945 home - it had all its art deco features removed, so we spent 15 years renovating and in the end rescuing this stunning suburban home. Runded outside walls, 1760' decor and wallpaper and illegal plumbing and electrical wiring and salt damp to waist height made it a love of tie and money. However, spending time sifting thru salvage yards, a sympathetic extension and kitchen and beautiful original features put back in - has made it an art deco haven. I wish you had kept more art deco theme in the house - it so deserved it!
disappointing indeed. the art deco is on the outside but theres no trace of the art deco inside
Very hard to find untouched Art Deco apartments these days. Many themselves were renovated in the 1950s-1980s to add contemporary features & styling like built in kitchen cabinets & countertops, bathtubs, sinks, toilets, and space for a modern refrigerator.
Art Deco??!! Where?!!
The whole building...
geometric shapes
I have the same question. Okay the building is art deco but interior is something between scandi art deco industrial and streamline moderne
Let's make everything white and call it "interior design"... This is minimalist, and far from art deco
It's not even good minimalism frankly, it's cheap minimalism sans taste.
Yeah exactly, "Interior design" aka repainting the place exactly as it was just with a fresh coat of paint and filling it with cheap MCM knock off furnishings. LOL
The building is stunning !!
You obviously worked very hard on this, and I understand that you're selling, so you want everything to be palatable to the average buyer. Gotta be honest though, I reckon the 'paint everything white' trend is well and truly on the way out.
I love that dining table and chairs. Any tips as to where they are from?
Cozy apartment, I love the vibes of the house 😻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I want to live here 😩😩😩 what a dream
really fantastic
I"m so sad you are selling your place. It absolutely stunning! Wish I lived where you do and I would buy it!
Nice apartment and you are very talented and superior painter too.cheers!
AMAZIIIIIIIIINGG
You lived there 10 years and when you want to sell you fix it up?
Neither do I...
Ummmmm guys, it’s $$$
Turned out great
Thanks!
Why is everyone complaining about the fact that the decor is not Art Deco? She did say in the video and the description that she was going for '’a modern coastal vibe inside'. The Art Deco is on the outside. Also, she mentioned that she was thinking of selling the place, so I understand she kept it white and clean and minimal. Overall, well done :)
Thanks Natascha
Then change the damn title
Love the art deco building...I've seen similar in Miami.
🙌
The title caption is a little misleading guys
Simple but practical!
The second bedroom should be the masters..its a tad bigger. Idk maybe its just me.. Great job guys!
Thanks!
I came here for Art Deco and was disappointed by the fact that only the building is art deco on the outside. Call it modern or minimalist apartment makeover. The makeover isn't art deco. The building is. The apartment is just inside the building but the apartment isn't really... sigh.. you get it.
I know for staging you want to make the rooms look as big as possible, but where would someone store their clothes? Do the bedrooms have closets?
One bedroom has built in robes. The other is a bit smaller room.
I think it’s beautiful!
Great job, very tastefully done.
Thanks!
I love the couch! I want one just like it.
Also! I love that sofa!
Great job!! I totally love ur energy.
Where's the Art Deco?
You can read more about the art deco features of the building here: www.huntingforgeorge.com/blog/1940-art-deco-armadale-apartment-stuart-hall/
@@Huntingforgeorge I agree with nikitesh kadu above. While the outside of the building is beautiful Art Deco design, the inside decoration and style is more of a white minimalist style, I don't really recognise anything I would describe as definite Art Deco style.
I know rite !! Im disappointed as well.
Too bad you waited so long to fix it up
I like the works that you guys doing inside but disappointed to see that there is no coherence between the art deco style of the exterior building with the interior that you put in... not even slightly....
Are you selling the place furnished or will you be moving all that stuff out to keep?
LOVED this!! More styling of interiors thanks, ha! Maybe your new digs?
Roger that! Working on a few fun new projects in our new pad... hopefully will be sharing very soon
@@Huntingforgeorge Whoop!!!
Such a great job guys! Thanks for the video!
Oh thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting :)
Why is everyone so negative? If you don't like it change the channel:)
🙌
You two are definitely joyful to watch!! Thank you for your work !
So MAJORLY disappointing !!.
I thought the interior's gonna be glam, sleek Art Deco ( or at least Art Deco-ish )....
Turns out it looks just like any gazillions boring mid century-boho whatever. Yawn.
I had to turn off first 15 seconds in after watching the slap dash way you slopped the paint on...sham...such a beaut of a building.
What do you do with all the furniture you bought for styling?
We sold most once we had to move on
Amazing Excited to see more congratulations Have a great day
Thanks Tiago!
the exterior and interiors are beautiful, but the styling inside is so bland. it's not giving art deco at all. and why would you say "palm springs" as a reference for art deco? miami beach, hello!
“ oh! Coffee table!”
“ oh! Squirrel!”
She keeps using the jail shutters why not just a sheer curtain
Great job. So did you sell it? So cute. My son lived in Goldcoast for a bit. He did come back to Canada, but not back home. He moved to a warmer city. Can't blame him after living in such a beautiful and warm place.
Sick place sucks that you had to sell it.
Spiffy! Well done!
Cheers!!
Is there anything you guys can do to repurpose and reuse all the old stuff. We consume and consume and consume and throw away everything else and years later we buy it back at high prices calling it antiques. Such a waste.
We try to not waste anything. Our current project we are pulling out all the old items and repurposing them in other houses. Watch this space. ⚡️
Where did you source your furniture from?
Everything is linked in the article on our website! Link in the description. ⚡️
I ❤️ your work/style
Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed it
My not needed opinion: Everything is cold and bland...
The curtains would have been better higher. It would enlarge the vision and more light would come into the living room.
Why a grey couch ? If you want to do an art deco style, velvet and touch of colors are needed.
The choice of paintings / art is kind of basic, every student that move to their first apartment have that kind of painting, arts... lack of sophistication and maturity
The master bedroom is boring... the color scheme, the accents...
The kitchen is really simple
this look like jane the virgin home with raphael..... in miami.... nice
Almost similar in bacolod city Philippines daku balay
Do you even know what ART DECO means?
We do indeed.
This particular building is a slice of Australian Architectural History. The land where the building now stands on Lalbert Crescent was once part of the extensive grounds of a mansion of the same name, that was built in 1880 for C.J. Ham. Following his death in 1909 the estate was progressively subdivided into suburban allotments. As the demand for housing became greater, the development of flats increased which was a huge shift from the large stately homes that predominantly occupied the areas of Armadale and Toorak at that time. The local residents were fearful that these residential flats were going to ruin the character of their tree-lined suburbs. So to counter the criticism, leading architects were employed to design these apartment blocks so as not to upset the local residents or ruin the charm of the area. Stuart Hall was employed to design this building which was completed in 1940. Stuart Hall designed quite a number of flat developments in St Kilda, South Yarra and Armadale during the inter-war period and is known for his designs are in the Moderne style, with either Jazz or Art Deco detailing.
No she doesn't
Man even the stereo they chose is some modern shitty turntable and speakers. lol Paint everything white and fill with chintzy MCM, good job. XD
Yikes. Looks like ikea threw up in that beautiful historic space.
Why did buy furniture if your selling it
Need to style it up to sell too.
Hunting for George did you just rent it then?
Thank god that awful sofa was sold
You are adorable!😆
This is shit and not Art Deco.
Art deco???? Boring boring boring = safe. The building is fab but you did nothing to the apt to showcase the beautiful building. Very disappointing.
Not Art Deco at ALL
Not art deco at all
Have a read of the article online for this home. There is more info on the architect and style in which it was built.
Booooo boring! I thought they were gonna decorate it Art Deco style
This is not Art Deco. This is minimalist . Sorry dislike 👎
This is NOT art deco. Only the exterior is.
Pretty appartment but not artdeco at all 😢
I think in building years the 1940s is considered middle age vs old. 🤣
