I've been gallivanting around the countryside flirting with mid-century modern design and architecture and sadly neglecting core business which is the Sow's Ear and renovating this old Queenslander. Ha! Talk about sidetracked! I guess after four years or so we can afford to slow down and take our time with this interwar Queenslander house. It is far from finished and we still have quite a few projects that we need to tackle...but all in good time. Jason's lost his mojo somewhat too...which is not a good thing when he's chief renovator... Anyway, there seems to be quite a few other bloggers who are well and truly in the midst or about to embark on a major renovation. Here is a list of the links, if you want to get a fix of Queenslander house renovations via blog reading: Crazy House Capers West End Cottage Bungalow Bliss The Old Post Office Life in our blue house Sunshine and Paint Pots Family H.O.M.E Heart Hanworth House Restoring the Old Girl Old Pearly Jenkins Hill Manor is a new to me blog about a young man renovating his 100 year old house in Toowong. He's got a big job ahead of him. Some of these blogs have been on the scene for quite some time while others are new to me. They're all different and I think such diversity is always good when one is contemplating the task of renovating their Queenslander house. If I have missed someone off the list, please let me know in the comments so that I can add them. Also, for those who are keen DIY'ers there is a great book called The Building of the Queensland House: A carpenter's handbook and owner's manual by A L Jenner which was first published last year. It is a book full of advice, diagrams and has lots of details about the restoration of a Red Hill Queenslander - written by a local Brisbane carpenter who has years of experience restoring these magnificent homes. I think the book is independently published and is available at Black Cat Books in Paddington and the Woolloongabba Antiques Centre. I have yet to get my hands on the book but am keen to give it to Jason. The man needs his DIY mojo back!

For architecture firm Arcke, a less is more approach is always preferred. So when it came to the renovation of a Queenslander-style home in the Paddington, suburb of Brisbane, Australia, the design team went back to basics. Additions, like modern decks, had left the home’s core dark and dysfunctional, while the location of the kitchen made circulation routes throughout constricted. “In our practice, we take a considerable amount of time unstitching these ad-hoc additions and removing previously built elements to improve the design,” says office manager Kate Kennedy.
