Selling Houses Australia - '80s flash back

The LifeStyle Channel’s Selling Houses Australia Episode 5 aired last night, see how the team transformed a dated 1980s style house into a modern and comfortable family home.

The Story: Greg Brooks lives for Ten-pin bowling. He was a champion of the sport and had dreams of training youngsters to follow in his footsteps. So when the old Bendigo bowling alley came up for sale, Greg jumped at the chance. He invested a million dollars into making the business work. But unfortunately bowling isn't the lucrative business it once was. Greg and his wife work crazy hours just trying to keep their heads above water. Greg even drives a taxi as a second job, but it’s simply not enough!




Problem:
The bank is calling in the debts, so the only option is to sell their Gladstone Park home. They need as much money as they can get, but the home is so run down and badly presented. No buyer is prepared to take on the risk of this dated 80’s styled house.


Solution: A window covering had to be chosen that was going to modernise the dated house to give more buyer appeal. Luxaflex Dual Roller Blinds were used as they matched the simple architecture and clean lines of the interior in the bedrooms, main dining room and lounge room. Sunscreen Caspien fabric in white was used to give privacy from the neighbours whilst still letting in natural light, and Blockout Calypso Plus fabric in Alpine Haze was used to block out harsh morning light and give ultimate privacy at night.



All Luxaflex Window Coverings were supplied and installed by Luxaflex Window Fashions Gallery, O'Gormon's of North Coburg, Melbourne.

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