The LifeStyle
Channel’s Selling Houses Australia Episode 4 Season 8
The Story: Lord
Karl and Lady Bess are mad for everything medieval. They live, eat, breathe the
days gone by, leaving little time for the real world. Their house, in the
Sydney suburb of St Marys, is packed to the gunnels with medieval mess and
unfinished renovations. They desperately need to sell and thought advertising
on social media would do the job. Luckily, they have Sir Winter and his trusty
knights to save the day.
The Problem: The
median price in St. Marys is $300,000 less than the greater Sydney area. This
means that it is actually a fantastic place for investors. Houses seem to be
snapped up very quickly in the area, except for Karl and Bess’ home. This home
has been a dumping ground for the busy parents who work from home. The house
was full of clutter, without any functional living space, and the kitchen, a
half-finished job. The outside of the home was a complete buyer let down, where
the backyard has an ugly landscape.
The Solution: Transform
the home from tip, to tip-top. A massive de-clutter, and functional storage was
created throughout the home. The drab looking fabric curtains inside the home
were replaced with Luxaflex® Wood Essence Venetians and Roller
Blinds (Waratah fabric in the colour Bounty).
Wood Essence Venetians provide the look of real wood
combined with the quality and durability of advanced technology that is
resistant to discolouration and warping. They are perfect for high humidity
areas, where regular timber venetians would be unsuitable – perfect for the
Australian climate. Whether you want privacy or to allow filtered light
through, Wood Essence Venetians give you complete control over the amount of
light you let into the room.
The old run-down window awning of the home was replaced with
the Luxaflex®
Canopy Awning. The Canopy Awning were placed over the windows, and are a great way
of providing weather protection to the home, but also gives your window a sense
of identity and decoration. Luxaflex® Canopy Awnings are made from
rust-free extruded and die-cast aluminium, and the plastic components contain
ultraviolet radiation stabilised polymers, therefore are long lasting and low
maintenance.
All Luxaflex® Window Coverings were supplied and
installed by Luxaflex® Gallery dealer Image Carpets & Blinds in Emu Plains,
NSW.
