The LifeStyle Channel’s Selling Houses Australia
Episode 5 Season 8
The
Story: It should be paradise - a sub-tropical island off the coast of
Brisbane, but for Raice and Chi Chi it’s more like purgatory. They need to
upsize to accommodate their growing tree lopping business, but have failed to
find a buyer in a whopping 6 years! To add to their woes, it seems half the
island is for sale. Is this our team’s toughest challenge yet?
The
Problem: When it comes to first impressions, this house was a total let
down. The whole exterior of the house needed a whole revamp, from some
landscaping to a new coat of paint. The kitchen was in poor conditions, where
it didn’t even have an oven. The house
The
Solution: Make the house appealing to the buyer’s eyes. After a serious
garden tidy-up, the exterior of the house was a lot more welcoming. A new coat
of paint and landscaping automatically made the house look appealing and stand
out from all the other houses in the neighbourhood. The kitchen was also turned
into a blank canvas, as nothing in it was salvageable. Instead, a brand new
kitchen, with new appliances and storage space was added – now potential owners
would not have to cook on a portable stove.
The light blue interior paint colour echoed the exterior paint
colour of the home – giving the inside of the home a light and airy feel. To
complement the wall colour, Roller Blinds in the fabric Harper Blockout (colour
– Polish) were used throughout the home to replace all the mismatched curtains.
The colour Polish helped bring about a beach appeal to the home to match the
island persona of the home. The Roller Blinds also added character, and the
streamline finish of the blinds is great for smaller homes.
