Dream Home on Channel 7 – Homeowners in awe of reveals. As illness and injury hits the competition.
Tonight on Dream Home: Homeowners Brad and Mel and Taeler and Elle were in awe to see their first renovated rooms, before illness and injury caused havoc on the building sites.
Watsonia Renovation
Homeowners: Taeler and Elle
Renovators: Brad and Mel; Lara and Peter; Rhys and Liam
After shrinking the study down last week to accommodate their separate powder room, Mel and Brad opted out of delivering the study, frustrating the other teams.
After a stalemate, Rhys and Liam stepped forward to take the hard space in addition to a bedroom, hallway and ensuite. Lara and Peter were allocated a hallway and home facade, while Brad and Mel claimed the master bedroom and walk-in robe.
To realise their dream bathroom, Rhys and Liam successfully negotiated floor space from Brad and Mel’s walk-in robe.
Brad and Mel were planning a luxury hotel-style combined walk-in robe and master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and hidden LED lighting. But they started to panic that their budget might fall short of the luxe look they were hoping to achieve.
Peter and Lara were two days into the ambitious transformation of the façade when Lara became ill. After seeing a doctor, Lara was told to rest, leaving Peter to do the work—and make decisions—on his own.

Homeowners: Brad and Mel
Renovators: Taeler and Elle; Hannah and Jonny; Jordan and Jacinta
Sisters Taeler and Elle took on the mammoth task of restoring a heritage facade and a bedroom for Brad and Mel’s 12-year-old daughter, Ginger. Jordan and Jacinta were allocated the laundry, master bedroom and walk-in robe. Hannah and Jonny decided to tackle the hallway, upstairs ensuite, and 14-year-old Maya’s bedroom.
To make their upstairs master bedroom spectacular, Jordan and Jacinta opted for an eye-catching polished Venetian plaster, hoping the wow factor would take them from 4th place on the leaderboard into the Top 3.
Hannah and Jonny’s ensuite plans were thrown into chaos when the council rejected their application to remove a window. In a moment of frustration, Jonny hit his head, and the medics were called in. The chaos of the day also took its toll on Hannah, who was emotional and said she didn’t know what she was doing.
After delays, the plasterboard sheeting arrived, but was offloaded into Taeler and Elle’s façade space, stopping them from getting anything done.
Tomorrow on Dream Home: Taeler and Elle’s ban on access to the front yard causes friction with builder Luca, while Brad and Mel’s budget blow-out cause the couple to rethink some of their styling decisions.

About the Show
No dream is too big. Life-changing renovation series Dream Home premieres Sunday, 26 May.
Seven’s brand-new competition renovation series Dream Home is set to take the renovation genre to new heights as six pairs of everyday Aussies battle it out room by room, transforming tired suburban family homes into astonishing new dream homes.
Premiering 7.00pm Sunday, 26 May on Channel 7 and 7plus, Dream Home is hosted by Dr Chris Brown and will feature some of the biggest and best life-changing renovations Australia has ever seen.
“In real estate terms, my own skills are a renovator’s delight, in need of a serious makeover,”
– confesses Dr Chris.
“I’ve somehow lived through two renovations and seen both of them blow out on time and budget; mostly because of my questionable decisions.
“I genuinely feel like I can relate to what our couples are experiencing – possibly more than they’ll ever know.”
With grit and determination at the forefront, the teams will design and rebuild each other’s outdated and dilapidated homes.
Following renovations in each state, the top three placing couples will have their backyards completely made over with stunning gardens and outdoor living spaces.
All couples will receive the gift of a lifetime with their newly renovated homes. The winning couple will also receive a cash prize of $100,000 to help with their mortgage.
A trio of expert judges – Lana Taylor of Three Birds Renovations, top buyer’s agent Simon Cohen and award-winning interior designer Rosie Morley – will provide invaluable insight during the renovations before critiquing and scoring each new space in the stunning homes.
Produced by Endemol Shine Australia (A Banijay company), Dream Home will inspire and ignite Australia’s love of home renovation.
