My husband, who is sometimes jokingly called "the fibro architect", sent me these photos (at botom) of typical fibros before the makeover. These ones which date from the 1950s-60s with the butterfly roofs are one of the most sought-after designs.
The gorgeous pink fibro called "Gidget", is one he is working on at he moment for clients Claire and Richard. They have done a great job decorating Gidget with a fun retro theme.
The blue one with the orange door is an ugly duckling makeover challenge we could not resist.
The fourth fibro, called 'Life's A Beach", was one of the first to be decorated in an over-the-top, retro style by Chris Lewis.
They're cute - lots of fun. I love the name Giget, though how many men would agree to hot pink?
ReplyDeletelove the colourful transformations especially Gidget and Life's a Beach & the 2nd one is really cute!
ReplyDeletedo you have any pics of the inside?
I don't care what anyone says about fibro houses, I love them. Thanks for posting such cute pics.

Fibro's wow! I feel like I am at the beach! Love the first one.
ReplyDeleteSurely Currarong should get an award for having the most hillarious un-renovated fibro shacks on offer - particularly the ones on stilts! Love them all!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm partial to a fibro, particularly a pink one. I love the classics but there aren't too many of them left.
ReplyDeletemakes me want to move instantly!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore #4... A great shot too. I love old houses and often feature them on my blog. Unfortunately, a lot in my area are being knocked down (how could they) and replaced by very ugly McMansions. Px
ReplyDeleteHey Catherine, where is the blue fibro cottage on stilts with the orange door?
