Room Reveal: Rick and Tayla’s Main Bedroom and Walk-in Robe
Rick and Tayla were gunning for their first win, but when the judges turned the corner they were left baffled by one sneaky yet very “odd” detail.
Rick and Tayla’s motto this week was “curves are in”, hoping they would win. The dad and daughter duo spent $25,350.59 of the estimated $20,000 budget delivering their first fully completed room.

Stepping into the walk-in robe, the judges found the “unbelievable” the row of skylights, while Marty Fox adored the “creamy” venetian plastering. Shaynna Blaze said venetian plaster said ‘luxury’ and ‘money’. But was that necessarily a good thing?

“The fact that all of the magic is happening here and with the skylights,” said Shaynna pointing to the plaster above the wardrobes. “For me, it’s a wasted expense.” Simply because you weren’t close enough to appreciate it.

Despite the smaller floor space compared to Houses 1, 2 and 3, the judges felt the team made use of every nook, with the space feeling bigger than rivals House 4.

Looking to the window, the judges were baffled by one major detail. The curtains were stapled onto the frame in this luxury home. “You usually don’t staple curtains to the wall,” reacted Marty.

Shaynna advised to take the doors off on one side of the wardrobe to create exposed shelves, and to install a door at the entrance of the robe to block the light spill from the skylights.

Into the bedroom and Shaynna commented on the stunning Michael Parker painting. Yet, Darren Palmer argued, “Big pieces of art like this art not well served by hallways because you can’t step back to appreciate it.”

Marty was transfixed by the soaring ceiling heights and beautiful herringbone flooring. On top of the team’s game-changer this week, the electric bedroom fire place.

Shaynna however thought it “was very odd” to have sheer curtain tucked behind a mirror. Until they saw the very obvious reason why...

“What have they done?” Marty laughed. “Oh dear,” reacted Shaynna clocking the curtain length that was way too short. The block-out blinds however were just “perfection”.
