Emma and Ben's Main Bathroom
It's been a busy week on The Block for high school sweethearts Emma and Ben.
The House 1 couple have renovated seven bathrooms in their lifetime and hoped their first Block bathroom would blow them out of the park.

However, disaster struck as their glazier accidentally chipped a tile off the wall less than 24 hours before reveals!
With up to $50,000 up for grabs, would Emma and Ben repair their wall in time?
Scroll through to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox thought of Emma and Ben's first bathroom.
House 1 spent $22,552 on their bathroom this week, just over the suggested $20k budget.
The vision was "spa vibes" with lots of greens taking inspiration from Daylesford.
They wanted their room to feel inviting and tranquil with lots of mood lighting to do the trick.
We think they've nailed the lighting execution here!
"We have done all we can for the win this week, I think we've given it out 110 percent," said Emma ahead of reveals.
"I hope the judges come out of that bathroom feeling calm and feeling like it has a place in Daylesford."
Walking into their bathroom, Shaynna was immediately hit with their outstanding texture choices.
"We're in Daylesford with so many undulating hills and all these beautiful textures with the bush and land..." said Shaynna before she paused.
"I feel like they've really be inspired by that."
"Wow," said Marty Fox as he took it all in.
He made a note that the location of The Block this season was "absolutely triple A".
But Marty noticed one glaring imperfection...
The imperfection of the tiling on the curve of the nib wall.
"As soon as you walk in, they've tried to get this curve going but it's a little bit rough," Marty pointed out.
"And if you look a little bit closer there are areas where the craftsmanship is just not 10 out of 10," Marty critiqued.
Would this imperfect design choice cost them the win this week?
Style wise, Shaynna thought the bathroom felt modern but not too modern.
"It feels very lush," she praised.
