Biggest rooms, biggest challenges and exhaustion has set in for some couples. I just hope they can all dig deep from here on to get to the finish line Living dining week on @TheBlock saw a breakthrough for Rachel & Ryan who won one at last! This week we finally felt connected to their vision, thanks in no small part to the magnificent winery view. Their living dining area pulled together everything that’s gone before and they hit all the right emotional points and this is the piece of the puzzle that is going to get buyers talking. I have to say their layout, textures and quality was far and beyond the best they have delivered Tom & Sarah-Jane gave us a cozy fireplace and a magnificent view, but in a space so palatial we were left wanting a little more. Larger furniture, Larger floor coverings, and more thought into the planning and styling within the space. But I have to say they did get a 10 for their painting, that ceiling was epic! Omar & Oz’s ‘budget’ baby grand got them into trouble this week, and it was a shame because their choice of rattan chairs, statement mirror and vast sofas already went a long way to creating a level of grandiosity guaranteed to make an impact on auction day. I’m still wondering how they are affording all of this when others are struggling on the budgets, even with wins under their belts. Recap continues in comments. #9theblock
