Taking you back to 1994 when only a third of our Qld Flooring trio even existed, and one of Russell’s most prestigious jobs of his career. The luxurious fit out of the Governor Generals house in Canberra, ACT.
This was by far the most intricate refurb he’s done to date, displaying incredible detail and some serious skill. The Governor General at the time, Bill Hayden, wanted to restore Government House back to its original glory after previously being modernised. With an architect who specialised in the period that the house was built overseeing the job, Russell and his business partner at the time Morris worked on site on and off for over a year.
Using a custom made, 3 foot wide Axminster carpet, a lot of patience was practiced, making up the pattern for each individual area, even going as far as sewing the joins on the turns of the stairs to ensure the pattern would match up perfectly and the carpet would flow down the stairs.
If you’re in need of a new look for your place, Russ has got the skills to make it happen. Come and pick out a dreamy new carpet at 240 Robinson Rd, Geebung, Queensland.
