Everything rules this year

[Mistyavalon]

It appears house Rules has undergone a radical rethink

new staff.. yes dear old larry is still here
apparently if it is a building it is fair go...

who knows?

[Mistyavalon]

so we drive along .. sorta like guest walk... no idea who they are yet, the teams talk about stuff... mostly dreary stuff

drive up to a big brown box in the middle of aneighbourhood one says Industrial
then others come along and start introducing themsleves gil boy two girls two boys
and so on,, the usual mix of hopefuls

who will hate each other .. more importantly who will misty hate???

here comes Jo down the stairs
welcome to home base.. lord above it is like a factory that has been gutted
first project.. starts now

there is an apartment upstairs which needs a new lease on life..... go up there and decide who gets to do what.. ( oh god I cna see cat fight.) winner gets a serious edge to help them

three days to fix it.... go... and off they go

Lisa and Andy Saussies get the dining room



more later MC is starting

[Mistyavalon]

or maybe Lisa and Andy have to fight for it...

good lord look at bed one it is curved...... tough and no light
Shayne and Carly stake the study

two girls go for a bedroom

Time and Matt melb dont want bed one either... think they are tradies ..yes chippies

maybe they will take the lounge,,, but pete and Courtney say no way....... they are dancing teachers,, pretty sure he is a horses hoof ...they think very highly of themselves

tradies fiannly stop arguing and take bed one... but t hese two have ideas.... they are chippies..... but they need more backbone

[Mistyavalon]

each team same budget and three days

house rules

expose the warehouse
show us what is hot right now
create a jewel in each room
breathe life back in with colour
stay together at all times

[Mistyavalon]

Katie and Alex Gndaroo NSW fed police and she is a stay at home mum.. done renos before.. he keeps saying she is the boss

they each get a car full of stuff ..looks like tools to me

Gundies think kids room.... expose floor and brick walls and paint pink...

now tradies in bed one..... guess you would think sky light keep curves with recess shelving and a recess window to bring in light from next room....

dont ask me what t he dancers are doing, I dont talk design but i hear recessed tv screens

oh dear shayne and carly break a mirror, he thinks it is good luck..... er

the waussie girls have never used tools before surfer chicks who travel the world competing

Caro comes in.... they chatter.. she says right..... ad silence and then they go whacko again... you should see Caros face.... you better work it out..... remember who you are designing for.. I can see disaster here

[Mistyavalon]

teams are shopping... is this the jewel... remember the statement pieces... same thing renamed

good lord the dancers find a brown leather couch... seriously and they are going whacko over it.... yuck

tradies say they are totally new to this styling business

seriously i am watching in awe.... some of the stuff I am not getting at all... luxurious. nah and the chairs nah.....

another silly thing is the whats hot right now qlders are so disappointed with the fireplace.. it was supposed to be black.. you will have to paint it.. and now they realise they forgot to order some sheeting and it needs painting and it might not dry.... but they have to try

[Mistyavalon]

waussies strip back raw and real.... ordered stuff online and stuff is arriving .. very happy
they ask the traidies for help for a carton of beer.... tradies go you had to pick the heaviest sheet...she laughs... well now I know i will never do it again... it is hard work getting it up the stairs

Shayne and carly have a solution... not waht t hey wanted but will work with it.... she finds brick and is so happy..... I love the old brick....

less than 2 hours to go girls have never painted before and dont even know how to attach rollers.. ha ha neither do I

omg someone is painting hot pink walls and making a mess

fab ideas are one thing but you have to be able to execute them

[Mistyavalon]

so final day

I think y ou know how this works tradies have no idea so they are calling it throw styling .. the mind boggles

pink walls looking better

waussies talking about lifting and completing.. hey that is what t hey s aid dont ask me!!!
they floors are gorgeous polished wood...off shopping they dont even have a bed

now scarly... fireplace is here.. he paints it... uhoh the mantle is smaller than they fireplace... that is ridiculous.. he tells her where to paint and he builds another frame... he used to be a chippie.....

so dancers making neon lights again..... she sees other things more important.... can see an argument

the uusal last minute rush...... Waussies doing okay... but room too bare... off to shops.... for plants

traide shave half an hour

idiot dancer is s till on the sign.... she says just put it on and he says stop screaming and the idiot drops it

plants everywere.. i hear I am not a horticulturalist

and folks that is it

[Mistyavalon]

so here come da judges

into the Gundies room
larry said we have s tepped through a gap in the space time continuum... delightfully 80s he said... Jamie loves it too She is not so keen but sees what they have done.. personally I think it is very messy in parts...... retro pop in the artwork combined with neon colour on furniture makes it very plastic Wendy is surprised at how much Larry loves it

so.... to scarly

immediately they hate the fireplace.... because of how good everything else is.. it is all so real except for the fake fire.. and the flimsy frame.. poor scarly... I rather like what they have done

now to Lisa and Andy dining room saussies ooks better than I thought.. the blue chairs work well with the w allpaper.... Wendy says a sense of real potential here. Jamie likes the wall unit as the jewel.. larry hates it... Jamie suggests moving the table to make more room larry said charis are too small.... it needs to be upscaled....... Wendy said te bones are great and they have great eyes for style

the dancers have the lounge....I like it except for the couches.... Wendy loves em....Jamie loves the screen and the nook.....Larry loves one wall which is like denim......... Wendy hates it.... it is too obvious she hates the sort of besser block and wood shelf unit..... it is uni style when we have money,, need more lighting

[Mistyavalon]

now the tradies....

actually I like it ....... larry calls th eplants house plant porn.... but the plants are in the wrong place says Jamie. the wooden planks on the walls should have been spaced
wendy detests it.... it is unfisnished your clothes will get snagged.... it can be better she says

now the Waussies hells bells it is great..... they all love it... the balance and colour... the wall is great .. it is off centre says Wendy but it works.. Jamie said it takes real knowledge to create this. Wendy says it is the best blue and all the different styles work.. the open wardrobe allow the room to breathe..... and the warm copper works

so here are the scores
Wendy Larry Jamie
gundies 5 8 7 20-30
Scarly 6 8 7 21
Saussies 5 5 5 15
dancers 6 6 6 18
Waussies 7 7 8 22
tradies 6 6 8 20

so well done Waussies others are pissed off dancers for one.. they got a lot of help it is everyones win oh dear

the advantage will be told at the dancers house
