Selling Houses Australia - Bayswater North

The LifeStyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia Episode 10 Season 9

The Story: Malcolm and Faye own three houses in a row, in the Melbourne suburb of Bayswater North. The McMillan family is desperate to sell all three properties at once. Malcolm is terminally ill and Faye really needs to retire.

Daughter Kirsten is a semi professional opera singer and her husband Scott, is a police officer. Kirsten is the youngest of her parent's four natural children.

Malcolm and Faye really deserve a break. The couple has devoted their entire lives to helping others. Apart from their four grown-up children over the years, they have also adopted orphans and cared for many foster kids and international students. Now it is time for Faye and Malcolm to get a little back.

The Problem: There wasn't enough money in the budget to do all three houses, so Shaynna concentrated on the interior of just one. Number 19, the family home had accumulated years of stories and memories in its walls, but the accumulating didn't stop there.


The Solution: The house needed a massive de-clutter before any work could begin because it acted as a dumping ground. New carpet and paint in the lounge room totally transformed the space. The kitchen had a much needed upgrade, which included a respray, new sink, new taps, and all new appliances.


The bar upstairs was completely ripped out to create a kitchenette for entertaining in the large rumpus room, which also doubled as an adult's retreat. Brown/grey laminate floors were installed in the upstairs area to compliment the new grey walls. This added a completely fresh look to the house.


Carpet and window coverings in the bedrooms completed the modern finish which is reflected in the colour scheme throughout the house. Luxaflex® Roller Blinds in Aria Translucent (Concrete), Luceeda Blockout (Dashing) and Hyams Blockout (Mercury) were installed throughout the house. All these fabrics are different shades of grey and the perfect match for the new colour scheme throughout the whole house. Who says you need to stick to the same fabric?

Luxaflex® Roller Blinds gave the house a stylish and modern finish, as well as offering functionality and easy operation. They created a clean look and blended in well with the decor and colour scheme.


All Luxaflex® Window Coverings were supplied and installed by Luxaflex® Gallery dealer Wall-T-Wall Window Furnishings in Nunawading, VIC.
