Jesse and Paige's Main Ensuite
Jesse and Paige's "modern colonial" style has been growing week on week, and for their main ensuite they really hit the nail on the head.

Despite a couple of debacles over their decision to use floor to ceiling tiles, the pair were over the moon come Friday when they realised they were going to finish everything.
After their first bathroom was unfinished, the couple let out a huge sigh of relief – but did the judges think it was worthy of a win?
Scroll through to see what Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox thought of their main ensuite.
Brought to you by Beaumont Tiles.
The couple spent $23,758 on their space, with the Commbank smart board recommending $23k – just ever so slightly over!
When the judges walked in, their jaws dropped.
"For a main ensuite, this is an amazing size," Marty gasped, and Darren agreed.
"There are lots of common elements with the first bathroom we saw on Week 1 which did not work... but they work in here," Darren explained
"There are details in there that they've simplified in here."
Pointing at the rims of the cabinet, he said: "This rail. Much thinner. That tile, much simpler. Simplifying these details lets these tradition details really sing."
And look at that storage – Shaynna would be proud!
Shaynna was positively beaming.
"It's sophisticated, it's elegant... I'm so proud of them."
Darren didn't want to glaze over the fact that the room was "finished", a far cry from what they delivered on Week 1.
"This is a much better layout. If you look at the planning in here, the door is central still, the space is about the same dimensions but the toilet is tucked behind the hinge," he said.
"You walk in to open space, then all that ample space with a double shower.
"In terms of layout, this is absolutely successful."
At Block HQ, Scotty told the elated couple Darren "loved" the space.
But Shaynna did have one issue.
"There are a couple of things I would like to point out and for them to take away.
"Why do you do the [electrical] switches outside?"
Marty described it as a "major flaw".
"How many times have you jumped in the shower, and you've forgot to turn the fan on for instance," he said.
"This is something these contestants need to be aware of.
"Their electrical work is not up to standard for a multi-million dollar property."
And that wasn't all.
"I don't know how many times we have to tell people, but you've got to put a light over the basins," Shaynna added.
"You have to. We only have wall sconce lighting here."
Pretending to do her makeup, she added: "You have to do this eye here, and this eye over here."
She also said the size of the door could have been smaller, and a sliding door used for optimal space.
There is ample storage space behind the mirrors though, Shaynna – surely that's a win!
