Selling Houses Australia – Pets’ Paradise

The LifeStyle Channel’s Selling Houses Australia Episode 7 aired last night; see how the team transformed this pets’ paradise into a stylish family home.

The Story: Taking that first step on the property ladder can be tough, so tough that many young couples can’t do it without help from their Mum and Dad.  Amanda Baxter was lucky enough to have her stepfather Wayne when she and her partner wanted to buy a home for themselves and their children. In fact, they were so lucky Wayne stumped up 50% of the mortgage payments. But when Amanda and her partner split, they could no longer afford the repayments. Wayne now wants to retire, so the whole family needs their money out.

 The Problem: Although the house is located in the respectable Perth suburb of Hamersley, animal lover Amanda treats the home more like it’s a city farm. The dogs have dug up the yard, the chickens roost in the house and the cats roam as they please. Amanda and her children are perfectly happy living in pets’ paradise, buyers on the other hand, find the smell the pets create to be unbearable!

The Solution: The house was very plain with a mix of ‘70s and ‘80s styled architecture. Luxaflex® Reverse Roman Shades were used to add interest to the windows of the home, softening the harshness of the thievery square architecture. 

All Luxaflex Window Coverings were supplied and installed by Luxaflex Window Fashions Gallery, Sola Shade, Osborne Park, Perth.

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