Supplier list for Britt and Taz's Week 9 Back Of House: Laundry, Pantry and Mud Room

In Week 9 of The Block 2020, Queensland contestants Jimmy and Tam, consistent winners throughout the season, collaborated with The Oslo winners Tess and Luke for All Star week. Despite the challenge of delivering multiple spaces, the teams successfully completed the task. Jimmy and Tam had high expectations for their game-changer chandelier and a hidden laundry door. The judges, Darren Palmer, Shaynna Blaze, and Neale Whitaker, provided their evaluations of the spaces. Upon entering House 5, the judges were immediately impressed by the grand entrance, particularly a Murano glass chandelier in the entryway, which Neale and Shaynna described as 'stunning' and 'absolutely beautiful.' Darren appreciated the layered palette created by the light against the ribbed wall. Neale, however, was critical of the entryway table, a glass cabinet displaying an Alexander McQueen book, suggesting it felt more like a shop display than a welcoming home feature. He desired a more inviting console display, such as flowers in a '50s style vase, and a rug on the terrazzo floor to convey a sense of 'Welcome home.' Darren, despite not knowing what to expect, felt the design successfully meshed different elements of the house. Shaynna was eager to discover what lay behind a secret door, initially hoping for a wine room. To her surprise, it revealed a laundry. Darren hailed the decision to conceal the laundry door within the feature wall as a 'masterstroke,' preventing an awkward placement directly opposite the front door. Neale concurred, calling it 'genius.' The laundry itself featured a vibrant color palette, matching the kitchen's style, with thoughtful details like a styled shelf and practical storage solutions. Shaynna was particularly pleased to find a tall cabinet specifically designed to accommodate a broom, an inclusion that elicited her delight. Returning to the hallway, Darren noted that House 5 stood out as one of the most unique homes he had encountered on The Block, emphasizing how many potentially problematic ideas had coalesced successfully. The judges then discovered another hidden door at the bottom of the stairs, leading to a cleverly concealed powder room. Shaynna found it 'sweet,' Neale described it as 'very simple, but nicely executed,' and Darren questioned, 'What is not to love?' Jimmy and Tam's characteristic use of color was evident, with a pink hand towel and soap adding a bright accent to the otherwise white space. Neale and Shaynna admired the mirror, likening it to a '50s TV set with antennas and legs. The final area inspected was the staircase. While generally praised, a significant oversight was identified: a large window looking directly onto the street without any privacy covering. Shaynna expressed concern about the lack of privacy, and Darren stated it couldn't proceed to sale in that condition. Tam clarified during judging that they intended to install a privacy solution. At the top of the stairs, Neale was particularly impressed by a pop art print created by Luke during the All Star art challenge, commending its high standard. Darren also highlighted the seamless continuity between the staircase and the flooring both downstairs and upstairs, noting that this level of execution was unparalleled among the houses seen that day. Additionally, Jimmy and Tam used the week to revisit and complete their walk-in wardrobe, a 're-do room.' They had faced criticism earlier in the season for prioritizing the master ensuite over the walk-in wardrobe. Addressing the feedback, they modified the layout, closing off a wall from their ensuite and extending the wardrobe space to create a luxurious area for potential buyers. #TheBlock2020 #JimmyAndTam #RoomReveal #HallwayDesign #LaundryRoom #InteriorDesign #HomeRenovation #MuranoChandelier #HiddenDoor

Luxury shoe designer Brian Atwood and his husband, Jake Deutsch, collaborated with The Container Store Custom Closets to transform their walk-in closets at 15 Hudson Yards into a highly organized and sophisticated space. Their vision for the closet design was to create a curated home for their extensive collection of clothing, bags, and shoes, making the process of staying stylish effortless. They selected The Container Store's Avera closet system, valuing both chic aesthetics and functional storage. Key design elements include ample space for folding and display, which gives each area the feel of a luxurious dressing room. Small details, such as Avera Jewelry Organizer Trays for sunglasses and Herringbone 12-Compartment Organizers for belts, contribute to the high-end boutique-like presentation of their accessories. The closets are conceptualized as an extension of their modern, sexy, and striking apartment, rather than a hidden space. The couple integrated art and other design objects to achieve a seamless aesthetic throughout their home. Luggage and duffels are prominently displayed, serving as an installation that adds to the visual impact. The doors leading to the closets are painted with a high-gloss finish in a dark color, creating an interesting and polished look that extends into the closet interiors, so much so that Atwood suggests doors are almost unnecessary. To maximize space and functionality, they worked closely with a designer to delineate each closet's purpose based on their specific needs for hanging, drawer, and shoe space, much like a custom-tailored suit. They ultimately settled on a primary clothing closet, a dedicated shoe closet, and a coat/sport closet. Shallow wing walls in the master closet allowed for the use of 14-inch deep shelves to further optimize storage. Atwood’s extensive experience as a shoe designer greatly influenced the closet's layout, prioritizing visibility and accessibility for his shoe collection with shallower shelves. The design strategically places frequently accessed items at eye level, reserving higher areas for display and less frequent storage, thus avoiding the need for ladders in daily use. He emphasizes the importance of merchandising the space, treating it like a high-end boutique, with careful attention to color flow and sequential coordination of items. Details such as rolled Hermès blankets, sweatshirts, and a silk-covered bench for sitting reflect the intentional layering of luxury throughout the design. High-tech solutions include integrated dimmable lighting on every shelf of the Avera system, adding a 'wow factor,' and push-to-open, soft-close drawers for enhanced functionality. The chosen stone finish for the Avera closet system provides a fresh, modern, warm, and masculine palette, elevating the overall result to appear custom-built rather than off-the-shelf. The materials and design choices stand in stark contrast to typical inexpensive-looking closet materials often found in jarring white finishes. Monique C. Valeris, Home Design Director for Good Housekeeping and former digital editor at Elle Decor, conducted the interview, highlighting Atwood’s meticulous approach to creating a truly luxurious and functional storage solution. #BrianAtwood #ClosetDesign #LuxuryStorage #TheContainerStore #AveraSystem #HomeOrganization #FashionDesigner #InteriorDesign #NYCInteriors

Steph and Gian, participants in 'The Block' reality television show, faced renewed pressure in Week 9 to design a successful kids' room after an unsuccessful attempt in Week 1. Their initial attempt at a kids' room, described as 'House Decider kids' room', did not meet expectations, prompting them to seek external advice for their second attempt. To ensure they met the brief for Week 9, they consulted child experts—specifically, the executive producer's children, Charlie and Max—who emphasized the importance of incorporating teddy bears and vibrant colors, explicitly advising against the use of 'beige.'
