In pictures: Courtney and Grant's completed house
Courtney and Grant made quite the impact on the competition during their 13-week journey.
The married couple from Sydney introduced us to their Moderterranean style (that's Modern meets Mediterranean) and the judges declared that it's the next style to take Australia by storm.

Their journey was filled with highs and lows; they sacked their builders a third of the way through with no backup but managed to bag a total of four Room Reveal wins.
Grant earned himself the nickname of 'Grumpy' after he failed to show up for a challenge but it soon turned into a long-running joke between Scotty and the Blockheads.
House 2 oozed high-end luxury and some of the judges had even named it their "favourite house on The Block".
As we await Auction Day on Sunday, scroll through to see Courtney and Grant's house in full.
Courtney and Grant's Guest Bathroom | Week 1
Courtney and Grant won the judges hearts over almost immediately when the presented their very first room.
"Now we're talking!" Darren Palmer beamed.
"The quality is off the charts," Marty Fox piped up. "The layout is incredible. The tone, everything about it is beautiful."
Marty noted the travertine tiles were stunning, and appreciated their subtle nod to their seaside location.
"They've put a curve in, they've got a niche. I'm loving the subtle lighting with these beautiful travertine light fittings which I think are fantastic," Shaynna praised.
"And I think this marble is hot."

While Shaynna felt that overall the room had a great feeling, she thought it was missing that 'wow' factor.
"I myself still want to see more drama," she said.
"I want people to really bring it this year. It's a holiday place, this isn't about being safe."
Marty disagreed but Shaynna reiterated that she wanted to see more "excitement".

Courtney and Grant were quietly chuffed with the response to their room but we're feeling overwhelmed that they were only just getting started.
"Do we have to do that again for 12 more weeks?," Courtney asked.
"One down, 11 more to go," Grant smiled.

It was a strong effort for Courtney and Grant's first room with the pair finishing second place by just half a point with a total score of 28 out of 30.
Courtney and Grant's Guest Bedroom | Week 2
Despite suffering a series of builder blues Courtney and Grant described Week 2 on The Block as "fulfilling and rewarding".
They had a lot of work to do this in terms of scaling their spending back.
The couple went $15,000 over budget last week, but turned things around with a modest spend of $7,805 on their guest bedroom.

The judges immediately described the bedroom as "very cozy and inviting".
The colours, including the bold pistachio arch, was a huge tick.
And for Shaynna, the space was oozing with personality – a must for any winning room according to the long-time judge.
The judges loved the intentional lighting choices, with Courtney had styled to resemble clouds.
Marty loved that the space was functional, and could easily transform into an adult space with just a few tweaks.
"I just can't rave enough about this room," Marty continued, labelling the room "faultless".

Darren did not agree with Marty's assertion that the room was "faultless".
Darren pointed out "one tiny little detail" that shattered the image of Courtney and Grant's perfect bedroom: a poorly positioned doorstop.
"That's something you kick your foot on and break your toe," Darren said.
Another fault was that there was no heating of cooling, which they thought was a major oversight.

Yet again, Courtney and Grant finished in second place by half a point.
This time they scored 27.5 out of 30 behind their rivals Kristian and Mimi.
Courtney and Grant's Main Ensuite | Week 3
By this point in the competition Courtney and Grant have landed in second place for the last two weeks, so it's safe to say they were itching for first prize.
But the duo suffered a few setbacks during the week, namely having their site shutdown by Foreman Dan after they failed to attend a safety meeting.
It didn't stop them from presenting a space that wowed the judges.
Shaynna believed that Courtney and Grant had perfected the balance between classic and trendy.
"It's got a very muted palette but it's sexy because of the texture," Shaynna said.
They got rave reviews when the judges discovered the entrance to the ensuite was through a slider door that made their ensuite "so much more spacious".
Marty thought House 2's main ensuite would be a huge hit with buyers.
"These guys understand aesthetics and practicality and they're combining both to deliver something that is extremely marketable," he said.
"I don't think you're going to find many buyers that will walk through here and not just gasp at that level of quality."
