Her husband Mark was not quite so enthusiastic. Now that the home has been extended, renovated and totally revamped, they both love the makeover that seamlessly blends original and new features in an inspired and contemporary upgrade.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-4\">\n      <p>When Mark and Julia viewed the cottage in 2008, Julia knew she could transform it. The 1930s bungalow had been relocated from central Christchurch to the country 15 years prior and although it had been in situ for more than a decade, it still looked like \u2018a cottage in a paddock\u2019 Julia says. A friend suggested they contact DJ Hewitt to discuss a renovation. They liked his approach and his obvious attention to detail. There was just one small fly in the ointment. \u201cDaryl told us they don\u2019t normally do renovations\u201d, Julia laughs.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"section lightgrey-bg\" style=\"padding-top: 0; margin-top: 0; \">\n  <div class=\"container two-column-one-third-layout\">\n  \n  <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-4\">\n          <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-8\">\n      <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3588\" src=\"https:\/\/djhewitt.ideationagency.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/eyreton-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Eyreton\" width=\"705\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/djhewitt.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/eyreton-1-1.jpg 705w, https:\/\/djhewitt.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/eyreton-1-1-555x416.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"container section three-column-layout\">\n  \n  <div class=\"row\">\n    <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-4\">\n      <p>Fast forward eight years, and the home has been totally transformed by a DJ Hewitt team that turned out to be exceptional at doing renovations. \u201cRob, our builder, was phenomenal\u201d, Julia says. \u201cHe had such a practical approach and a very keen builder\u2019s eye. He knew what things would cost and that practical component enabled us to get exactly what we wanted. With his help we achieved a perfect blend of old and new\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A sweeping circular drive leads to the home surrounded by a superb garden. By night, illuminated specimen trees, a roaring outdoor fire and a warmly lit pavilion adjoining the immaculately presented home create an appealing first impression. The front door opens to reveal a striking interior that blends features of the original cottage \u2013 wood panelling, leadlight windows and ornate architraves \u2013 with bold black and white paintwork, d\u00e9cor and soft furnishings. The monochrome palette provides a perfect backdrop to an impressive art collection. \u201cArt is our vice\u201d, says Julia. \u201cWe wanted enough wall space to hang our pieces and we wanted the art to provide the colour\u201d.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-4\">\n      <p>Many original features have been retained, updated, repainted and in some cases repositioned to maximise their impact in the remodelled home. The fireplace is still Julia\u2019s favourite spot, especially now that the dark wood panelling has been painted fresh white and the inbuilt bench seats topped with plush cushions. Julia had to stand her ground regarding her decision to paint out the panelling. \u201cNobody wanted me to paint over the stained wood panels. I had to push hard but now that it\u2019s done, everybody loves it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>During the makeover Mark and Julia lived on site in a self-contained studio. They were able to participate in ongoing decisions that needed to be made as the renovation evolved. As with many renovations, there were a few surprises and issues that needed to be resolved \u2018on the wing\u2019. Working alongside experienced builders, who totally understood their desire to create a warm and modern home, that retained the charm and character of the original place was integral to the outcome. \u201cRob was a craftsman.\u00a0 He got the character of this place and he listened to us. We had total trust in his workmanship and his advice\u201d.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-4\">\n      <p>Window joinery has been replaced with double-glazed aluminium joinery made to match the profile and style of the original wooden frames. Leadlight windows have been repositioned and new oversize french doors have been fabricated with wide profile aluminium. Exterior cladding on an extension off the kitchen combines Linea with the original weatherboards so seamlessly that it is difficult to spot the difference.<\/p>\n<p>During the renovation, Julia and Mark moved the former Eyreton Cricket and Tennis Pavilion, onto their property. Located in a nearby paddock and in a state of total disrepair, that too has undergone a major upgrade by team DJ Hewitt.\u00a0 \u201cThe veranda is the ideal spot for a gin after a day in the garden\u201d, Julia says. Mark agrees \u201cWe love this place and we are very proud of what we have created\u201d.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"container section sect-content\" style=\"padding-top: 0;\">\n  \n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/djhewitt.ideationagency.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/06-3.jpg\" alt=\"Eyreton\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/djhewitt.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/06-3.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/djhewitt.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/06-3-555x370.jpg 555w, https:\/\/djhewitt.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/06-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/p>\n  \n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3950,"template":"","showcase_category":[9],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.1 -
