The Block: Week 1 - Guest Room

Wow the talent this season is amazing. I think they all did really well especially with trade delays doing the steel, asbestos removal and the fact it was their first week which would be really overwhelming.
I really like Dee's style (minus those lights). How funny they made her stand on a custom made box so the camera man could get both Darren and her heads in one shot.

Shannon & Simon the brothers were this weeks winners. I really like the yellow and you could tell all their finishes were done perfectly. Very good quality, I'm impressed for 2 young guys. Yes little judgmental of me but i did not expect them to do so well. 


I do have to say I'm little over the wooden walls from last season so i hope it doesn't continue throughout the whole apartment. Did anyone else notice their interesting choice of decorative item. . . a wooden tube of black lead pencils?!


The lamp can be purchased from The Block Shop for $1795. There is a cheaper alternative at The Secret Room for $465. Otherwise another option, different look but similar concept is from Beacon for $149.




Best price for the side table is on The Block Shop for $289. Otherwise a couple of other ideas are Iron Drum side table from Complete Pad for $165 or Kelly side table from Freedom for $149.

I loved the winning room except for the cactus. I'm over the wood too - would be nice to see something different this year. I liked some of the other rooms this week too but I would choose "finishes" over decoration any time (decor is easy to change).

Room was amazing, but tend to agree that we've seen a lot of wood in the past years. Time for something new. Thanks for the the cheaper recommendations! Will check them out.

My favourite this week was Chris and Jenna's bedroom. I just love the simplicity, and those exposed trusses.

You can also get the lamps from King Furniture in Nedlands, unsure on price though, just saw in the window :)
