When doing a renovation there are four really important things you need on the checklist peach cushions with how many chandeliers needed are not high on our list.    1.       Know your Style & How you Live– There are so many different styles to choose from like our personal fav’s  Hamptons, Coastal, Scandi, Scandustrial & Industrial to name a few. Just as people are individuals we all have different styles & taste so the most important thing to do before you begin is work out your style or your clients style! You can look around things like Houzz, Instagram, pinterest & you  can also check out the Beaumont tiles website they have this really cool style quiz put together by designers & a psychologist to help you identify your style.  Identifying your style is not the only part you need to think about with regard to planning a renovation.

Sarah and Renee  GIRLS BEDROOM This room received mixed reviews from the 2 judges. All feedback was positive feed back until they decided to sit on the bed. it resulted in the homemade bedhead toppling out of place. Overall a good room.. One thing I would have liked to see is one bedhead that is shared by both beds LIVING ROOM This room is a stunner.. The skylights and high ceilings made the space feel more open.

The only issue again w...

 This week marked the first elimination for the second season and saw Steve and Holly shockingly be evicted. This was unexpected to everyone as on the poll for who would win, they had the most votes for the two consecutive weeks. Although it was believed that Sarah and Renee would've been eliminated for the whole fireplace debacle they were not and they won overall. Sarah and Renee will not get immunity. Lisa and John Dining Room & Kitchen This room in my eyes should've been given perfect scores. That table though 😍! The only fault is that the table felt a bit overdone. It would have had the same effect if it had just a vase or some decorative bowls.  SCORE: 10 This kitchen is not too bad. The room overall feels to glossy and shiny. They could've avoided that by having a tiled splash back. That would also have met the homeowners brief of low-maintenance. The herringbone splash back that Lisa mentioned would've looked better. SCORE: 7 Scott an...
