Geelong school teachers, Ben Toyne and Andy Sutherland, both 25 years of age had no previous renovating experience when they took on The Block.
And yet, they got the phone call “pack your bags, you start in seven days.” Leaving their jobs, they were given $200,000 to set out and renovate an apartment.
Imagine a custom built designer wardrobe, visually appealing, defining the look of your bedroom space.
Working out what to wear each morning is easy because all your clothes are neatly displayed at just the right hanging length. There are sections for handbags, hats and scarves and clever use of drawer dividers for jewellery display cases. And, when it comes to shoes, Cabinetmakers Choice has special shoe pantry that holds over 40 pairs!
There isn’t a lot I envy about the lives of the rich and famous … the benefits all seem to come at too high a price. But there are the occasional things, like the exotic holidays (albeit with your cellulite thoroughly documented by sneaking paparazzi), having someone who tidies up after your kids before you sprain an ankle tripping over the Lego-strewn floor (they would probably sell the story of your slothfulness and your children’s unruly behavior), but it’s really the dizzying wardrobes that have me seeing stars; the beautiful, drool-worthy clothes, bags and, Oh. My. God. The. Shoes.
