[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The living and dining rooms were revealed on The Block last night. Did you watch? I do not envy these contestants at all. Give me a small room to decorate any day of the week… These massive spaces are too hard to handle! How big were some of these spaces?! Courtney and Hans actually did a good job considering they had the biggest area to work with. I am glad they created some zones (even though I thought they were pretty boring). But considering the target market for buyer, I think they need to keep everything pretty neural. I hope the kitchen ties all these spaces together. I did love Bianca and Carla’s space. That had more character. But I am soooo over the velvet. It’s got to stop!

Check out their efforts below and tell me what you think…[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Kerrie and Spence

Jess and Norm

Score: 25/30

Jess and Norm’s huge suspended fireplace played havoc with their layout this week. But despite their travails, the couple from Queensland managed to create a truly beautiful, pared-back space, which featured some stunning furniture pieces from an Indigenous not-for-profit organisation. It also saw an oversized olive tree, leather lounge, aboriginal art, a gorgeous sideboard and hints of ocre complete the look.
