    I think it looks bland.
    The interior hasn't been done in keeping with the era of the exterior.
    Would have looked better as a mock up Californian bungalow interior just with a modern twist. Interior looks apartment/hotel style

    I like most of it - I don't find it too bland. The dark bathroom isn't my favourite but mostly I like it.

    According to today's Herald-Sun the asking is around $2.6m I think thats hype from D & D. They paid $1.1m for the original house, plus the fine $180,000 plus the rebuilding costs.

    OK. Joynz It was mentioned in the Herald-Sun that they were fined the $180k. No doubt that was in the HS article the Reporter referred to.

    I dont hate it, just don't think it does the house justice. I like the interior, just don't think it suits the house.

    It sold for $2.9 million.

    I don't know how that compares with the going rate for Kew, and I suspect that Dea and Darren benefited from being a high profile couple in the marketing.

    Still, good luck to them, and let's see what they do next.
