Selling Houses Australia Season 12, Episode 11 Recap

Apart from the unusual colour selection for the home, the biggest issue that the team were presented with was the dark confusing labyrinth downstairs. Pulling down useless flyscreens and plants in the entry area brought natural light rushing inwards. Internally, Shaynna chose a palette that lifted the space the create an intimate area. The lounge room benefitted from the gorgeous dark wall paint and new textured loop pile wool carpet that was laid. For a light and consistent feel, Aquasmart Hybrid flooring is installed throughout the living and kitchen areas in Washed Oak. This is also a sensible waterproof selection, given the pool in the backyard.

With Australia’s comfortable climate, a pool is an aspirational accessory found in backyards across the country. In the warmer months, pools are used constantly, with kids running in and out of the home, dripping wet, bringing soggy bathers and dirt with them. Hybrid flooring is one of the most practical solutions here, not only because it’s waterproof, but also due to its ease of maintenance. A quick mop lifts dirt and moisture, but if it sits around in puddles for a short while, it won’t cause any issues like moisture on some other hard flooring may.

Frances’s agent decided that an auction was the best format for their campaign. Nerves were tested but it was worth the anxious wait! The home sold and Frances were able to move forward with her life, putting the purple home behind her.
