 Search for a home on any device, any time, anywhere. Private Property, a home for everyone. Happy Friday and good afternoon. Welcome to When Home on Afternoon. Express your favourite show to get you into the weekend. My name is Danilo Acquisto. Now as you know, South Africa's premier interior design reality competition is proudly brought to you by Private Property and each week we follow the journey of our three designed duos as they transform cluster homes at the Eye of Africa Goldford residential estate from white box spaces into lavish homes, one room at a time. Be sure to let us know what you think of their efforts on social media using the hashtag Win A Home and I love reading all of your tweets. It's been an exciting journey thus far so let's have a quick look back at what happened last week when the master bedrooms were revealed. Last time on Win A Home, the designed duos didn't rest on their laurels to decorate the master bedroom. At the final countdown, yours truly did not get a warm welcome. This time, I'm not even allowed inside. That's right! But when all was said and done, the designed duos delivered dream-like spaces. Team House and Leisure were commended on their soft and restful retreat. Walking into this room, Team House and Leisure, I'm immediately transported to a place of just happiness. Team VC created a modern master bedroom that the judges loved and some would describe as sexy chic. Bed mirror, recipe for babies. Team Habitat wowed with their decadent yet contemporary room that rarely impressed guest judge David Muirhead. Versace on the dance floor. The designs were so good, there was almost a tie. But one designed duos rose above the rest. The winner of the master bedroom challenge is... Team VC! Now that all the designed duos have won a challenge, the heat is truly on in the competition. I think it's appropriate to say flames as our designed duos are definitely feeling the heat. Not only in the form of huge pressure, but it's also their proverbial wallets that are burning. Our designed duos have a cash budget of 300,000 rand each for the entire house. That's in addition to all the sponsored elements. And after the master bedroom challenge, Team Habitat has 114,000 rand remaining. Team VC has 104,000 rand remaining. And Team House and Leisure is in serious trouble with only 85,000 rand left for their cash budget. In terms of high-end interior design, that's not a lot of money. And our designed duos have three spaces left to decorate with an expensive one next. Hello contestants. It's time to get cooking as it's challenge time again. The next room is the heart of the home. It's a room that's required to be more functional than pretty as it serves an essential function in the home. It feeds the family. Your next challenge is the kitchen. I'm quite excited about doing a kitchen because it's like the central space of a home. The heart of the home. You know, so it's quite important. Very important. You've got to eat in a home. We don't want our guests to starve. No. So it's quite a big pressure and we hope to do our best. Both of us have experience in the kitchen industry. Paul works at a kitchen company and so did I. So we do know how it works, but time is not on our side. Yeah, because most of the time doing a kitchen requires like it's not a two weeks challenge. So pulling this, it's going to be quite amazing. You'll have just 10 days to design a multifunctional and breathtaking kitchen. Now I know you guys have been working really hard up until this point and I've been pretty harsh on you. So we had went home and I've decided to give you a teeny tiny cash bonus to reward you. I would say 5,000 rand sound added to your budget. Yes! How about an extra 10,000 rand? Yes! What happens if I told you I'm giving you 20,000 rand for your next challenge? I'm so excited that I fall off my chair. I just couldn't believe Lamont. I thought getting like 5,000 and it's like 20,000. I had to catch you. 20,000 rand! Well, of course I'm over the moon. I feel like I've just won the challenge. It's going to be a send via kids sign. Razzle, dazzle them and chop it up. Yes! 20 grand is just what we needed. Yep, we're going to use it and use it and use it some more. I also have another surprise for you. With the courtesy of Klicks, you'll also be getting an extra 10,000 rand voucher for anything you'll need from the Klicks stores to make your kitchens shine. Oh my god! Tanira was like Oprah. I mean, he was. You get her. You get her. You all get 30,000 rand. Now we're just balling. Now we're just balling. That is so super exciting. We can get all... We can save from our budget and use the 10,000 rand from Klicks to get accessories for the kitchen. And appliances because they're so expensive. On that note, contestants go forth and design and I hope you can handle the heat. In their new home, a housewarming gift is always welcome and thanks to our generous sponsors, the gifts just keep on coming for our design duos. All three teams get premier home appliances by Grundig for the kitchens and guess what that means? Shopping, shopping, shopping. We're excited to be in Grundig because it's German products and it's like having sports cars in your kitchen. Hi guys, I want to say welcome to our Grundig stand here at the Hirsch Four Ways. I'm so glad that you guys could join us today. I'm really excited that you guys have chosen Grundig to be your kitchen appliance partner and we're so excited to be a part of the show today. Just some facts about Grundig. We're in South Africa for about four years now. We're a German engineered brand which means high performance so you know that you can trust the products. We have a five year warranty on all the products which means that you have peace of mind for the home that you are designing so the person that wins that home knows that they have peace of mind on all of their products so that's really good. If you look at the design of the actual appliance you'll see that we have the piano key feature which is for the master class so that means whoever wins this home has the potential to become the master in the kitchen. The design is music to our ears. I mean they've designed it like piano keys. It's a piano key oven. Well how you press those buttons? It's like... Is it a thing? Machenachino. Or somebody. You just cook it up. Yes! Roxanne, we're not quite sure if we should take the bigger oven or the smaller oven but the thing is when it comes to baking we're quite concerned about the space. Okay yeah so obviously with regards to the size it all depends on how big the space you do have. The multifunction oven is a great oven to have but if you have a smaller space then the microwave oven is actually quite great. It can work independently as a microwave. Also they have 38 chefesses programs that means that you can look up recipes which include baking recipes. And with regards to your question about baking if you open up the oven you can easily remove these trays move your grill to the bottom and you can put in a beautiful cake in there. Yeah so basically this oven is nice and compact and it has you know the multifunction of the microwave and the actual oven so it's actually a two in one. So I don't know if that's going to help you make a decision a little bit more. Suppose these are hob options what do you think? I've been eyeing this guest on the last hob I think it looks beautiful and I think because we're going with like the multifunction kitchen since it has that classic feel to it this like the guest would work better with it. Yeah don't you think something more minimal and just something that disappears? Well I'm not all for minimalism but then I've you know me. I've always had like a thing for traditional looking guest stoves and I feel like with the stone it'll work perfectly so I don't know what you think. Yeah I think because our kitchen is quite modern I think this will be great. And I love that it has an option for using different sizes of pots and the fact that it has like a child log system. No we can totally go for it. I like it too. Finally he agrees. Ooh what the fridge! I gotta have it! Hi guys. Hello. So tell me what are you guys leading towards and what are your refrigeration needs? Sure. What we know is you're going to find a big fridge. So we sort this one and we like how it's separate like in terms of that's the fridge that's the freezer. Okay. And it's got a lot of freezer space. And which is the other fridge that you sort of leading towards as well? Then we looked at this one. Oh yes okay. But then is this one smaller than this one? Well guys it actually all depends on your needs. So basically this is a side by side so it's a combined fridge as well. So you have your fridge in one side and you have your freezer in one side but it's one unit. You've also got a water dispenser in the front and an ice maker. The best thing about all our fridges is that it's A double plus that means it's energy efficient. These two units are actually two separate units. So you have your freezer and then you have your fridge in one side. The best thing is that if you want to separate them depending on the space that you have in the actual home you can do that as well. Although I think it looks good as a pair. So all the essentials that make a kitchen are pretty functional. We were looking for those items. And they were fab items. Beautiful. And the bigger the better. We've got two fridges stand alone. Yes. Yes indeed. And the spending free was not over yet. Wow. Shopping at Clarex we want to fill up those kitchen cabinets. Absolutely. If our heart of a herd needs to be hearty full of things. Hi guys. Welcome to Clicks. Here at 10000 vouchers go and enjoy. Thank you very much. 10000 it's like. It's amazing. Like 10000 was just a bonus. Like we're going to buy closer with this one. Now we're just falling. Now we're just falling. Yes. Charter. Charter. Cambrook. We need an eye. We need an eye. We need a digital hand mixer. Charger. This is. Shut the Clicks door. No. We need this because it looks exactly like our kitchen. And it's colour changing. Overruled. What about this one? Okay. You can have that. I think we want to see our water boil. Yes. Take both those toasters. You need both. Before this all comes back well. Sabotage. What's that? Sabotage. Sabotage. Sabotage. Sabotage. Sabotage. Sabotage. Sabotage. Well, since we've got the same Clicks amount with all the jurors, it's a competition after all. We might as well mix them as that. Ten thousand. So if you need to take motion that's off the floor so that you make sure your competition doesn't get it. You gotta do what you gotta do. I checked the weather focus and apparently that's how you can appear. I'm so excited. The smart life. Shelf. Super blender. I want the yogurt maker because I think whoever gets the house can help laugh. We're thinking it. We want that coffee maker. It's perfect. It's perfect because our client loves to drink coffee. And also wine. And wine and coffee. Yep. Clicks have got merchandise to die for. I mean every aisle is a winner. You want more, more. And it's got more, more. One of the typical Clicks is charge it. If we like it and you gotta have it, you just charge it. At Bulgatix, a clever app is helping Team VC make their flooring decision. This flow quiz was quite fun. The app from Bulgatix is really fun. I clicked, she clicked and then we clicked to become air. And as designers, I think we're very calm. I think that's why maybe we are the air element at Bulgatix. You're welcome. Did you do the quiz? Yes, we did. And you came out as? Air. That's what we came out as. It said air. Wonderful. Let me explain to you guys how the system works. What we did is we created this collection of products. We have different colors and different designs, different textures. But we realized that it's sometimes difficult for the consumer to make a decision. So we took the five elements of life, fire, earth, spirit, air and water. And we grouped different colors and different ranges together under them. And we then created a quiz that you would do. And when you go through the quiz, you would come out under one of these elements, either fire or earth or spirit or water. And you were asking specifically for something that could work in your kitchen environment. So Charleston, I would recommend, and as you came out in the quiz as air, there you can see the color box wood out of the Charleston range. Is that something that you would consider? That's perfect. And we also love the trains that we see with it. But we want to do like a herringbone technique. We just don't want to have like a plain floor. Because remember, the wall, the floor is our canvas. So if we do like a perfect floor, that's going to blend in nicely with our walls. We'll be very happy. Okay, I agree with you 100%. I think it's quite a nice new trend and fashion to go with the herringbone. It will definitely work. Will it work in the kitchen since it has a lot of moisture and a lot of movement? Definitely. This will work on the floor. It is not wood. So it is manufactured for the purpose of handling those water areas in the home and in the kitchen environment. So this floor, perfect for kitchen. Mipo, you asked about the herringbone. What I can recommend, for example, is that you combine two shades. So if you look at the lighter color that you are looking at and that falls under that element of air, you could add a darker gray to that. You think the two colors would work? We'll just have to think about it. Yeah. 100%. You can go and play those other options. I think it will work perfectly. Awesome. Decisions, decisions. From the appliances to the floors and everything in between, our design dios will have to consider every detail to create the right flavor for a winning kitchen and it doesn't stop there. Still to come on the show, our design dios explore the psychology of color. Stay tuned. Because if it doesn't improve people's lives, it isn't Plaskon. Plaskon, designed for life. Welcome back to Winner Home on Afternoon Express, exclusively on SABC 3 for a tad bit of design inspiration for your weekend. Now, did you know that of all the colors in the color spectrum, blue is an appetite suppressant. There are even weight loss plans that suggest eating off of a blue plate to trick your brain to eat less. This is all part of what's called color psychology and our design dios will have to choose colors very carefully if they want their kitchens to be inviting and there's no better person to advise them in this field than Plaskon's color expert, Claire Bond. We love Claire. We love Claire. And color is essential to any design. Crucial. Crucial. Welcome everybody. It's great to see you here at our paint master class. Now, the wonderful thing about color and color psychology is that each and every one of us reacts very differently to the colors that you're seeing all around me. So let's have a look at our warm colors. Peach. Orange and peach are fantastic for nurturing. So they're great colors. They've got vitality in the space. They give the people in the space the feeling that they're happy and they joyous. Red has the longest wavelength. So you've heard me say before that it's the most stimulating, the most energetic. It's an excellent color for a restaurant because it makes people order more, it makes people want to drink more and it actually makes people feel happy and they kind of want to dance in the space and enjoy the moment because of its very stimulating wavelength. The orange is quite a... it's a color of strong vitality and health and it really assists people with moving into challenges. Purple's not as stimulating as your red, orange and yellow but it's still a wonderful color for helping people communicate and it allows open communication in a social space. So I would use it in a lounge or that sort of thing where you actually want to bring people together and enhance communication. Yellow is a wonderful color where you want to bring joy into a space. So if you have someone in your family who suffers from a little bit of depression or they've got a bit of a melancholy personality, yellow stimulates the nervous system and it helps people feel more joy. So it really is a good color for any area. It's not just a color that's great in a kitchen or a bedroom. What's going through my mind regarding the color psychology class is the fact that warm colors are great for the kitchen, especially if you want people to be appetised and I think that's what you always want. Now let's move into the cool side of the color spectrum. So green is linked to the heart chakra. So that's all about balance in your life. So these days when we really have no connection to nature at all because we're always on our laptops or mobiles, this color comes highly recommended. Then we move into a much more sludgy, olive-y green. People are versed to green. Actually need to help others more. They're very independent and very goal-orientated and directed towards self. So it's important to introduce green into your life so that you actually give a little bit more. So blue is a calming color. It'll calm your energy down and it'll also make your space feel calmer and much bigger. The deeper blue you go gives a different resonance. So if you go for something like a cobalt or electric blue, it's much more stimulating than a cool blue. So just be careful of that. Paint effects are back and very popular. For me, beautiful translucent layers of color make a space look incredible. On top of those layered colors, I would suggest you either go and buy a ready-made stencil or even cut your own stencil because most of you are very artistic. Well, you're all artistic in this room today. Claire, when choosing colors for kitchens, what colors would you recommend to encourage an appetite? I would recommend the orange palettes. So as nurturing as the apricots are, the more saturated the color and the more orange, the more it allows people to feel hungry and want to eat delicious food. Color is another thing, especially when it comes to color psychology and other stuff. You need to know your stuff together and it's a good thing we are learning that now. On site, it's time to get things started and Team Avatar meet with their kitchen cupboard supplier and their Caesar stone accredited fabricator. Our Caesar stone plans were our plans for Caesar stone. Because we love it so much, we want to go, wow. So Jonathan and Andrew, we went with them, hit them with the Rolls Royce, what we are actually aiming for, partitions in Caesar stone. Can it slide? Can we let it stay still? Can the table go in and out of the island? You know, what can we do with our gadgets? Absolutely. And what can we do with the timeframe? I'm feeling confident. I'm very happy with the choices. There is a few challenges that they've given us in the kitchen. I also like the idea of the blind that they're going to put across the window here as well. I think it might cover the doorway and the fridges as well. I definitely work with the right people that are willing to go the extra mile and put in the extra hours to meet the deadlines. Yeah, it's a tough call, but we're going to do it. Yeah. At four ways, paint and hardware, Team House and Leisure put their colour psychology lesson into action. He's pretending to be looking at colours. That should be it. Hey, wait a minute, I'm pretending. Look at all the colours I came up with. The colour gets to you. What is this? This is the silver bed that we've been using throughout the house. And then we can look at those three options and see which one we can work with. Is this for the wall? Yeah, the back of the kitchen units. Because we need something that will frame the kitchen units and let the grey stand out better. Since you couldn't stop speaking about Amadeus at Dekor X, I thought we could use it as our main colour for the kitchen. Oh yes, that's a beautiful colour. Yeah, we can work with that. It's a lovely colour. Yes. And I think it will be a great contrast with our cabinets and also our Mont Blanc. Definitely. Since we've been shy with colour. And then we're still going to introduce that natural wood. So that's a nice combination. As we criticised the last time for using yellow, I thought maybe we could try a green, since you love it so much. Who said I love green? That is your green. Are you starting to confuse yourself with me now? I've been your head. No, I don't like it. I think we should still go with that. You're not fighting for that green, sorry. The decision is final. And if someone says it's too yellow, you're not going to change your mind again. No, I don't think it's yellow. We're not going to change our mind because you don't have much of it happening in the kitchen. The reason why I love Amadeus is it is because it's a neutral one. And then when you're looking at it from a distance, it looks yellow. But then when you put it among other yellows, it's not yellow anymore. And it's a warm, comforting colour and I believe that it will complement the space quite nicely. Kitchen appliances have arrived and we're still looking for our things. Foraging. Yeah. But we're glad that we got everything that we wanted on time and we're going to try and manage to fit them inside the cupboard. They're delivering our grinding products. We are so excited. They all arrived in one truck, so everybody has to select what they are. Thank you so much, guys. Washing machine. Oh, please send the dishwasher. With the grinding appliances on site, it's time for our design duos to focus on serving up exquisitely functional spaces. Yay, there's so much excitement building as the kitchens come to life. But it's time for us to take a quick break and when we come back, our design duos seek sage advice from their mentors and still ahead, we find out how life has changed for last year's Winner Home grand prize winner. See you then. Our partnership with Winner Home. The best stone is Caesar Stone. It's great to have you back with us on Winner Home on Afternoon Express on this Friday afternoon. Now, designing a kitchen can be a thrilling adventure, but with so much inspiration out there, it can be overwhelming and one can very easily overspend or let a design venture completely off course. Thankfully, our design duos have seasoned experts as their mentors. What's happening here? We are delayed. So we're supposed to get our cupboards in today, but they have not even painted and they're still plastering and rhinolighting the walls. So, okay, how do you look at it now? You've got a fridge. We have a fridge. We have a multifunctional oven flash microwave. So that saves us on time as well. That's nice. That's great. Yes. Especially with this guy that you're building the place for. Yes, exactly. That is their bachelor. He needs everything to be compact and quick. And quick. And we also have a washing machine and a dishwasher. What's the look going to be like? Because that's where I come in. I like to picture the whole story. So the look and feel we want here is concrete and white. We've gone with the rugged concrete caesar stone, which is beautiful. And it has a lovely honed finish. So it's going to be matte. So we want to create a contrast with our cupboards, which are going to be high gloss. And what are the covers? White. White. You've got your way. She wanted a white kitchen from the start. We want to get our accessories right. And Annamarie is giving us tips on how to do that in terms of quantities of accessories and how it should be packaged. What we're hoping to get from Tian is actually approval for our class dependence. We're trying to avoid the bubble effect again because that will make it too predictable that we're going for that again and again. So the last time we spoke, you had roughly around 12K. Where are we on that? How much have you used? What's left? What still needs to be done? We've planned almost, like we've considered everything. And at the moment after taking everything into consideration, we have 2.5 left. But then we forgot about the lights. Not really forgot, but then... We forgot about the lights. What have you bought so far? We did not really forgot about them. We just bought last. Did you buy the important stuff so long? Yes. You haven't wasted your money on props so far? No. Why are you liking me? I know that you bought something. What have you bought? It's a cake stand. How much was the cake stand? $8,000. So you hopped your budget on a cake stand? Actually it was $800. Considering that you spend all your budget, is there nothing that we can make or do? Is there some creative kind of like things that we can turn into something amazing without spending money? He's opposed to do it yourself. You're not a fan of it. You know if you think of old frames that we can like cover up or collage together, or something a little bit, you know, artistic. Is there anything that we can do around that? I think so. You're not a fan. I think so. No, not that I'm not a fan. So you're going to have to make a lamp yourself tonight. You're going to have to think of ways that's in your apartment that you can reuse instead of spending the cash. Because you don't have it. You spend it on your cake stand. All of that cake stand, I know right? But we don't have the cake for it. Exactly, exactly. So the biggest lesson we've taken from Amanda is lists of J, lists of objects that will flatten your space. Without losing your aesthetic. And your wellness, your bravery. Here you are. Your boldness. Yeah. Amanda, welcome to the war zone. That is the kitchen. There's a lot going on here. We've got the guys working 9 to 5. Yeah. It's fantastic. And we think you're doing some lighting on it. Right. Maybe some chandeliers. No chandeliers. We've done what chandeliers. So this is where we started off in terms of the inspiration for the kitchen. And this is where you got the bathroom. Absolutely. And we thought an island with like a caesar stone sita that'll seat 6 to 4. Because we wanted to create a dining room in front of the kitchen. You chose the openness of this space. Yes. Well, there isn't much space. So this is a good way of doing it. And then... We also wanted to do like here with the white and the dark wood legs. Yeah. So as you see there, we've got some wood that's gonna go up. Drilled up into these walls. And we've even got the colour. That's Ivory Pillar. We thought let's go for a colour that induces people to eat. It's different. What's the pink red undertone? I'm so impressed with what you've done so far and what you've created. You've definitely hit the nail on the head. I'm just wondering are there any surprises in store that your personality is going to come through? There's always something over the top. And I refer you to the previous rooms with stand on the other than every single one. That is always a surprise. Absolutely. That there has to be. In our sleeve. But there's a lot more to mirror in our minds because we're bringing in a ladder but that ladder's gonna actually be a giraffe. So when you climb it to get to those top parts you're actually climbing a giraffe. But you had to continue with the animal tree. Absolutely. It's too late to let go of the animals. We've thawed it out and we've reeled the South Asian but had a little bit of razzle and dazzle. Not too much. No more chandeliers. Oh man, but just one. I saw a very big one. It's so lovely.

At the halfway mark of the previous challenge Team VC faced some big decisions It's happened again this time round with choosing paint colour for the kitchen wall We're going to test two colours Jungle That's the name of the colour game But we didn't test it Did you buy the paint? Yeah, it's there, but we never painted it Did we paint already? With black? Chocolate The agreement was that we're going to try with the green first and then after go with the black because if it's easier to apply a black on top of a green So in that case it's perfect We can live with it We know they can design a master bedroom but can they design a functional kitchen? Team VC, what's up? Hey, how are you? Listen, the progress looks great The kitchen looks glorious Take me on a grand tour Okay, so this is our sink area We're currently standing in our dishwasher Oh, exactly And as we move on this is our cooking area where we have the kitchen product and the colour scheme You guys seem like you're thinking in black and white kind of We were fighting about the black colour and I didn't like the Tribeca but Leso loves it so we're just going to have to go with it I think it's going to look amazing So it's warming up on you It's coming out alright You're not like about the idea that it almost could be practical Because we've gone with grey and white which can be of a dull I think the black just gives it a bit of a pop Lovely, so from a very bright and colourful master bedroom to quite a neutral kitchen with these blacks and whites I mean how are you guys going to draw the whole home together because we're getting to that point now So the aim was to match everything into natural colours so if you look at all our colours they're all kind of like nature you have greens, you have your orange so it's more of using white and tones everything down so with this space connecting to the lounge we're planning to tone it down a little bit So I'm a man, I'm a practical person and I love the kitchen so as much as I dig the aesthetics in this space talk me through some of the practicalities and let's do a tour of those So imagine you're standing next to the pride bowl and you're chopping and then each day you're going to find your bean Ah okay I see so you're sort of scraping things just going to scrape things into the bean So it's quite more practical on the other side in order to get that practicality here we have your grocery cabinet so everything that you can take from the fridge into those kind of things So we're working with our kitchen triangle which is the dynamic space living where you don't need to move too far to get to what you need that's why we added in our prep bowl here so that you can rinse your veggies and everything without going all the way over there and coming back Trendy kitchens are smart kitchens so where do you incorporate the technology here? Well my favourite part of the technology in this kitchen is our power dock which is quite smart because you can put it away so when you don't need to use electricity you can just put it away and it's quite quiet but you just pull it up and you have all the plugs so you can charge your phone charge your laptop while you're in the kitchen doing your thing Well you too good luck let's make it a second challenge win in a row So much pressure I'll see you at completion date Alright cheers So like what do you think of how things are coming together share your thoughts using hashtag win a home on your mobile devices right now Team VC want to prove that they're not a flash in the pan after their first challenge win but team Habitat and team Halston Leisure want to reclaim that crown so after the break we'll check in on their progress stay right where you are I'm just putting my phone away loving reading all the tweets that are coming through hashtag win a home keep them coming welcome back to win a home on afternoon express now we've reached the halfway mark of the kitchen design challenge and both team Habitat and team Halston Leisure hope that they've got the recipe for success to another taste of victory Team Halston Leisure found themselves in every interior designer's nightmare where their caviar taste didn't match their tinted tuna budget but the bonus cash and generous sponsorship might be their kitchen saving grace well it seems like there's no one here from team Halston Leisure I'm here there you are how's it going nice to see you so what are you doing behind the fridges I was checking out the positioning of the things if they're going to get it right but then otherwise everything is looking good it does look good I like your cabinetry this island in the middle here it looks a bit skew though so how's it going to get halfway mark they're not yet done with the island so it'll be fine once they're done a good designer knows how to incorporate both functionality and good design aesthetic and do that all within a budget so how have you managed to do that in your kitchen functionality wise we decided to keep like everything on the one side and have like our preparation area in the center of the kitchen so in that corner we'll be having our double fridges and then from there you move onto your stove and in that corner it'll be our double sink so next to the sink we have our dishwasher and our washing machine and what about the design aesthetics in the kitchen from a design perspective we chose like the color the plus con color of the air which is the our medias and then we try to contrast that with the dark storm gray wood finish and have a cherry which that material we used in our bedroom and the main bedroom so that ties all those rooms together nice ideas but I'm not hearing challenge winning ideas from you guys in this space what do you believe are the show stoppers for you because everybody's got an island everyone's got paint on the wall and everyone's got cabinetry what makes yours so unique I think what makes it unique well I haven't seen the other guys' kitchen but then simplicity is always key that's what I believe from a design perspective not complicating the life of the person who's going to use I like that all right so what's the needs to be done before we get to completion what needs to be done they don't need to paint us getting touch up the ceiling line and our hope still needs to go in scissors stone tops needs to go in there's still quite a bit that needs to be done our doors are not in yet so I'm trying not to panic because finally it's not here I'm buying myself today so I need to keep myself together well don't stress too much get back to the work I want to see a simple kitchen by the end of this all right we are in good stuff good luck dude thanks team habitat are hoping to create a kitchen that is the toast of the competition hello team habitat welcome to the kitchen watch cooking in the kitchen sure well unfortunately we could make you some Sunday with some wood cream but we're saving the wood cream for our wall is that the name of the paint that's the name of the paint but you guys can serve me up some drill bits and some screws and some wood that's all we got right now some shelving cabinetry metal things measuring up here well listen it's only the halfway mark you guys got lots of time to get this complete but it's looking like you're making good progress what's the idea in your kitchen so we wanted to create an open kitchen because the bulkhead dining room is going to be a big feature so we're going to bring in Caesar stone from where we're standing all the way to the end of the bulkhead and then have some seating on other side so basically we've just lowered the ceiling to create a focal point for the kitchen and a dining room extension so it's basically just highlighting the main entertainment area and it's going to be highlighted once that lightens up not even a neon highlighter could compete with this bulkhead and our lighting however this bulkhead extends all the way from the kitchen quite deep into your lounge area which is another space for another challenge we wanted to use the open area space the kitchen and lounge to not just have two rooms but three rooms because you have a kitchen, you have a dining room and then you have a lounge which is all open play out buy two and get the third one free I don't quite know if I've bought into that but it's a very small space and you guys are cluttering with lots more extra bits and bobs and a birdie has also told me that you guys have got other little surprises to add to the space like you must have the birds to start chipping but we do have a few surprises like we've got a ladder coming in to help you get up and down to the putts right at the top because we wouldn't want you to jump up and down like a netball player it's not an aerobic this is a functional kitchen a giraffe come in yes you're going to carry with you the animal theme it's only right if you've got a zebra and a lion's den there needs to be the tallest animal in the land but the question everyone wants to know from you two what's happening with the lighting we're still in debates but we're getting lighting definitely to light up this bar cave because that's the point of having a beautiful bar cave if no one can see it and it seems that the word chandelier is for better so let's say we're going to light it up with some chandelier lighting and we're going to buy it at the lights one thing that was not raining in this competition was obviously the money Brad has he been looking after your budget? we like my waistline I've been training in a fine land we've been watching that budget but it's been a bumpy road I'm typically saying we've behaved and we've stayed within the budget and tried to make everything fall within that so that's how the minimalistic feel of the kitchen has come about stunning deadline is approaching fast what still needs to be done sure the caesar stone needs to come in between the caesar stone tops the caesar stone dining room obviously we don't have doors as you can see on our cabinets that's not part of the plan the doors are definitely coming in with door handles back splashes are coming lots still to be done I was always limited I do not want to see you stressed at the completion date good luck you two and I expect a milkshake at that completion absolutely with whipped cream ciao show let's get back to work well for now all we're looking at are some half-baked kitchens but next week we hope for some steaming hot completed designs of course our judges will be joining us our country will be all sorts of spicy but the big question is which design duo's kitchen will be the cherry on top you'll have to stay tuned next time to find out we'll see you next week Friday from me Danny Laquissa have a great weekend bye bye search for a home on
