Dream Home on Channel 7 – Shut the front gate! Taeler and Elle block all access to the front yard and entrance.
Tonight on Dream Home: Two teams adopted a controversial “no doors” policy with their renovated spaces, while Taeler and Elle came to blows with head builder, Luca, after the sisters blocked access to the front yard of Mel and Brad’s Northcote home.
Watsonia Homeowners: Taeler and Elle
Renovators: Brad and Mel; Lara and Peter; Rhys and Liam
Lara and Peter continued with their plans to deliver a contemporary Scandi-inspired facade with timber cladding and a landscaped garden. Worried she didn’t have enough plants to fill the space, Lara approached Rhys and Liam for some cash. The brothers obliged with $2000, agreeing the front of the house needed to look amazing.
While Rhys worked his tiling magic in the ensuite, Liam struggled with the study; the smallest space was proving to be the most difficult.
Determined to deliver on Elle’s luxe brief for a master bedroom and walk-in robe, Brad and Mel purchased art, a chandelier and a bed – totally smashing their budget. With only $61 left in their pocket and still to pay trades, the pair realised they needed to return the luxurious bed.
Host Dr Chris Brown paid a visit to the site and questioned some controversial design decisions. Brad and Mel decided against doors on their wardrobe, arguing it would compromise the luxe feel, while Rhys and Liam chose not to include a door in their bathroom, saying it was like an art installation and deserved to be seen!
Northcote Homeowners: Brad and Mel
Renovators: Taeler and Elle; Hannah and Jonny; Jordan and Jacinta
Taeler and Elle tackled the facade and 12-year-old Ginger’s bedroom but were nervous about preparing an age-appropriate room. Motivated by an artwork purchase, the girls settled on lilac and purple themes for the room.
Jacinta and Jordan were thrilled to see the plasterboard sheeting on the bedroom walls, but Jordan had to work through the night painting undercoat to ensure the space would be ready for the Venetian plastering.
With the Venetian plaster underway, Jacinta went shopping and, in a stroke of good fortune, selected the very same bed that Brad and Mel were forced to return from the Watsonia home.
Returning home, Jacinta discovered that sisters Taeler and Elle had sealed off the front of the house after growing tired of the front yard being used as a communal storage and workshop area.
This immediately caused friction with other teams and head builder, Luca, who refused to speak with the sisters.
Dream Home on Channel 7 and 7plus – Continues Sunday at 7.00pm
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.
