This young couple only recently moved into Annandale and have set about establishing themselves in this leafy heritage suburb by rehabilitating the front path and verandah of their late Victorian 'Boom Style' cottage. They have bucked the fashionable trend of choosing modern colours or monochromatic neutrals for their tessellated floors, instead electing to replicate the original pattern in the original, earthy Victorian colours. These, they felt, would create a warmer, more welcoming feel, and coordinate with the existing original Victorian glazed ceramic tiles used on the stair risers and inset into the building's facade. Sometimes it pays not to reinvent the wheel.
