Alisa & Lysandra's Somerton Park Project

[00:00] foreign [Music] we are now on a new site I have sold my house and I am building right next to lissandra so we are going to be neighbors so not only did we share the same room had the

[00:16] same friends at school work together we're now living together this block is about 900 square meters we are dividing it right down the middle I'm taking half lasagna's taking half so it really is Twin against twin in the ultimate battle off yeah and I'm gonna win

[00:39] each week we will be revealing the exact same room for you guys to decide which one you like best let the demo and the games begin [Music] a master bedroom is so important especially to me at the moment because I have not had a nice bedroom for over

[01:24] four years I think the biggest challenge for both of us in this space was just the size of the room we only had 450 square meters to play with each and something had to give and I think it was definitely for me I feel like it was the master suite but it's still functional and well we've

[01:41] got a walk-in robe at an ensuite so it's not like you need anything other than a bed keeping it very minimal in here I'll have my bed here I'm going to render the walls I'll have some easy craft paneling going here so the main difference between our master bedrooms is I've gone probably more dark and Moody and this is

[01:58] the theme throughout the house and Elise has gone more light and Airy I'm going to have easy craft paneling behind as well as a little Stone feature which I have never done in a master bedroom before as well as some beautiful Luminate shades we actually went for a bit of a

[02:12] different layout with our walk-in wardrobes we went to Kinsman we had a console and we really worked out what we needed where I'm living right now I've hardly got any space so I'm so excited for this room it'll be uh hers hers slash a little bit of his I'm gonna have storage on both sides and I'm going to

[02:29] have a little makeup disc here so the challenges today have really been the weather rain rain and rain that's what you get I guess when you're building the middle of winter so as you can see this is my very wet Master ensuite it's um you want to come for a swim am I very Inlet

[02:55] is not okay with me but I have to be okay once a roof goes on the rain can't stop us it can't hold us back so all the trades can then work on top of each other to get it done so a really good tip for those renovating at home or designing their

[03:13] bathroom Lasana and I always use the rest imagine 3D planner when designing our bathrooms I have used it for mine over there and I'm health and Los Angeles today design her I don't just think in the house so what I love best is that the 3D Planner tool it allows you to put real life products into this

[03:32] space so you know that that vanity is going to work against that toilet and that that shower is enough distance that allows you to pick your products with confidence when designing your bathroom it is such a huge investment you don't want to be ripping out your bathroom lot maybe every 10-15 years so you need to

[03:48] get it right and by doing this at home it's actually so much fun as well you are going to get it right and it is so worth the while taking your time making the right selections so I know you're going to be so jealous of my own sleep I'll give you the general layout I've got my Reese Cato Lucy bath going here

[04:07] my double shower going here my toilet and then my double vanity and I put it all into the Imagine 3D planner so I know that this is going to be way better than yours and that it's all going to work out perfectly so multi panel look just installed this waterproof soundness it is really easy

[04:26] to install which means our Builders are free to do everything else they need to do it has a one degree fall so no water puddles [Music] was there only two yeah oh so what is it the my vanity all of them are just yours no just mine I think I canceled yours at

[04:49] least I don't have to cheat to win [Music] did you change that though a little bit of drama amongst the chaos I'd forgotten what actual carpet I chose I consider it a lot and this is not the look I'm going for and I was like this are on carpet

[05:12] and I was like bad luck it's too late you gotta go with it and then I went back through all of my paperwork and I was like Oh and it actually looks amazing I love it it's so good sorry our sleepmaker mattresses are now being delivered and you know what that means it means we are getting one step

[05:27] closer to moving in [Music] we dressed the room it was all done the rest of the house is chaos we really could have slept there it's probably the only room that's gone smoothly really [Music] so I went something a little bit

[05:54] different from my master bedroom I used the neolith stone for my bed head [Music] I use the easy craft paneling I've got the beacon pendants and I also decided to continue my floorboards from my hallway into part of my master bedroom you weren't sure about that but what do

[06:13] you reckon now I reckon it could potentially make your own look a tiny bit smaller but um I don't mind it disagree [Music] you can never go past lots of flex I've decided to use illuminate Shades in my master bedroom a lot of people don't

[06:34] like a TV in their bedroom whereas I'm like nah I'm going a TV in my bedroom I haven't had a TV in my bedroom phone for 10 years and I dream of it every night [Music] welcome to my master bedroom come through my beautiful double also doors [Music]

[06:54] if you want to know where mom's at I'll be right here is exactly how I envisaged it to turn out I love the softness of the render complemented with the easy craft paneling this bed linen from Aura is just so textural and soft and then obviously the

[07:21] luxiflex window dressings which just absolutely soften that space I love this little Nook that I've created in my Master's Suite I love the contrast between this silky smooth Bayless rug and the wool carpet from Godfrey Hurst everybody who walks into this room comments on this higgy chair I

[07:39] haven't actually used any black throughout the house except for in this piece I was a little bit hesitant now it's in my room it's absolutely perfect the softness of these bacon lights makes this room feel so moody both Asana and I have used clipsal throughout our entire home I have opted to go with the

[07:57] iconic arctic white PowerPoint and light switches as you can see it's got this beautiful little Timber trim we've actually both selected to use render on the walls and the easy craft paneling yeah she copied me I did not it's honestly the Wardrobe of my dreams how luxurious does my walk-in wardrobe

[08:22] feel thanks to Kinsmen it really does stick all the boxes it's got double hanging behind cupboards it's got over and hanging it's got shoe racks and look I've got my own little makeup Nook too I love my track lighting from Beacon Lighting I really definitely think that I have

[08:42] won this week over Elisa [Music] one through to my beautiful Kinsman walk-in wardrobe I have never had a wardrobe this glamorous it is just as beautiful as my master bedroom and the perfect complement for that space it was so easy working with Kinsman

[09:07] designing this walking robe and I love the added extras that you get such as this LED strip it just makes such a different it makes the room glow and the quality is next level good small things like that pull out pant rack I just that's one of my favorite features I couldn't be happier with how the

[09:30] master bedroom flows into the walk-in rope and then through to the ensuite I think it's so cohesive and there is not a single thing that I would change [Music] If Ever I go missing this is where you're going to find me I mean honestly I've opted to use the pirouette shade

[09:51] from lots of flex it was honestly made for a space like this it was a little bit more bold with their choice of my green floor tile and I was a little bit unsure about that but I definitely think that this bathroom needed that contrast we've got the Sonos speakers I'm gonna turn on a podcast I'm gonna be wrinkled

[10:12] all the time I know more than I am [Music] so I've opted to use the Scala range from Reece bathrooms in the living tumble brass finish I think it marries perfectly against the darkness of my Cabinetry and look I finished it off perfectly with these Portobello tiles

[10:33] from Beaumont tiles [Music] welcome to my ensuite as you can see it's simple luxury and it is everything that I have ever wanted foreign this ensuite has been fitted out with the finest how beautiful are these slab tiles from Beaumont tiles we've got

[11:04] the luxurious tapware from race and not to mention our double vanity so this vanity actually comes from a rage the lasada and I have designed in collaboration with ADP and also in our collection we've created these Quinn shaving cabinets perfect for face level storage and hiding all of those ugly

[11:23] toothbrushes that no one wants to see and I think what really tops mine off mine looks softer than yours because I have the lots of flex shears in my bathroom [Music] [Applause] excuse me time to get out well I soak in

[11:37] my beautiful bath from race bathrooms oh all right are you ready to score each other three rooms one score in total ready Set Go oh yes yes I read it that's pretty fair yeah I

[11:59] do too yeah I absolutely love mine but I think it was probably feels a bit more luxurious but again mine suits are starting with there are other rooms to come that I'm sure you're going to win so one for the board coming up on the next episode we create our boys the bedroom of their dreams as
