Well it was a highly emotional and overheated final room reveal of The Block this week… having to span over two nights with Lysandra suffering from heat exhaustion, the show had to be delayed to the second night; keeping us, the fans of the show having to wait patiently for tonight (Monday night) to roll around so we could finally see Kyal and Kara’s final reveal, plus see the all important final team results!
The girls did it again with a stunning reveal which just tops them off… I think it’s going to be SO EXCITING to see the results come auction day. Its homely, sophisticated and definitely with wow factor. I loved the wall features, textures and round vertical gardens, they utilised the walls perfectly (compared to the other teams) and you can see that it’s such an important area where you can add depth and interest to an outdoor space.
The only downside was the built in bench seat being safety compliant on the rooftop terrace. If only the girls used their common sense on that one! Do you think they have the winning apartment?
Well the dream team did it again, another fabulous and functional space, with bold and vibrant colours, beautiful styling and fabulous design and finishes. Their outdoor kitchen is lush with everything you could ever wish for in an outdoor kitchen, and the mirrored flashback is a great idea to reflect the view.
I did agree with the other teams abut the TV, without much seating to see the TV, but that is a very easy hurdle to overcome.
The Living Terrace is just lovely, the lovely vertical garden with hints of pink and that amazing arch window! What a feature… I bet you’re just as excited as I am to see the auction day 🙂
Their scaled back rooftop terrace leaves it open for whoever buys the apartment to do whatever they wish! I think this is a great idea, they have put some beautiful plants and built in structures with the outdoor kitchen and that fantastic big screen TV…. I can see whoever buys that apartment having great Grand Final BBQs and never missing any action on that screen!
The boys living room terrace to be was gorgeous. The texture of the plants, the layering and the beautiful recycled timber just worked seamlessly with the living area. Such lovely, simplistic design.
Chantelle & Steve have been struggling the whole duration of The Block, the judges haven’t always been kind, but they have come so far, and actually have been the most original out of all the teams… I’m not sure about you, but I really hope they find the perfect buyer for their property who is absolutely going to love it with all it’s quirks. Their outdoor space brings industrial together beautifully with the outdoors, the plant selection with their colours are divine, I love the purple and green hedging behind the ‘day bed’… the use ply definitely brings the whole space down, and that would be the first thing to go – but it an easy fix for whoever buys. It’s just a pity Chantelle and Steve ran out of money. Good luck guys!
Now when we thought it was going to be the countdown to auction day, we now have two homes being fully renovated in 7 days! The challenge has just hit a whole new level…
