Selling Houses Australia – Road kill to riches

The LifeStyle Channel’s Selling Houses Australia Episode 8 aired last night.

The Story: Grace and Michael Steven have more in common than just their wedding rings, they are both butchers by trade. Life was good for this couple, their business was growing and they bought their federation house in 2005 with plans to renovate. Shortly after moving in, their lives took a big turn. Grace became pregnant with their first child, quickly followed by their second, third and fourth! Their once successful business has gone belly up, leaving them with a debt of epic proportions. Grace and Michael want top dollar and their home has been on the market for eighteen long months.




The Problem: Grace and Michael’s home is a large federation semi, with many beautiful features but not only is the house is run down, it backs onto a very busy six-lane highway! They needed buyers to see past the busy road, were the Selling Houses team able to transform this home from road kill to riches?




The Solution: Luxaflex Newstyle Polyresin Shutters in white were installed in the casual lounge area to match the existing shutters in the formal lounge. Luxaflex Roman Shades were installed in Kruger fabric in colour Vanilla as they matched the horizontal lines in the shutters and gave more character to the windows. Luxaflex Roller Blinds also in Kruger fabric in colour Vanilla were used in the back room study area as this part of the house didn’t have as many features, but continuity was kept by keeping the same fabric as the Roman Shades.


Front Lounge Room - After


All Luxaflex Window Coverings were supplied and installed by Luxaflex Window Fashions Gallery, Park Shutters & Blinds in Five Dock, New South Wales.


Selling Houses Australia airs every Wednesday, 8:30pm on The LifeStyle Channel, only on Foxtel.
