This classic Footscray weatherboard had been a family home for over thirty years. The exterior weatherboards were faded and flaking after years of Melbourne weather, and the interior was showing its age — walls covered in scuffs and marks, yellowed ceilings, and chipped timber trim throughout. The owners wanted a complete transformation inside and out that honoured the character of the home while giving it a fresh, modern feel..

Freshly painted white weatherboard period home in Footscray with lacework verandah, dark front door and corrugated iron roof

On the exterior, we started with a full high-pressure wash, then sanded and spot-primed every weatherboard by hand. Two coats of Dulux Weathershield in bright white brought the facade back to life, with the lacework verandah, window frames and fascia all finished in crisp white to match. The corrugated iron roof was left as-is — it was in good condition and complemented the fresh paintwork perfectly.

Inside, every room received thorough preparation — filling cracks in the plaster, sanding all timber surfaces back to a smooth base, and sealing water stains on the ceilings. We applied Dulux Wash & Wear in bright white across all walls and ceilings, and finished the doors, skirtings and architraves in Dulux Aquanamel semi-gloss for a crisp, hard-wearing contrast. The heritage cornice work, ceiling roses and cast iron fireplaces were carefully preserved and highlighted by the fresh white surrounds. The result was a home that felt completely renewed — brighter, cleaner and ready for the next chapter.
