Applications are open for House Rules 2015

By Olivia Shead •

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Have you got a run down house that needs a serious renovation? Do you have a massive mortgage that needs to be paid off? Do you fancy yourself the next reality TV star?

27052014-000422HR_C

If you answered yes. Well you’re in luck, because applications are now open for the third series of House Rules!

To be eligible you must own your own home and it must be your primary place of residence. Team members must be over 18 years of age and have a pre-existing relationship (friends, relatives, partners etc).

The fine details

  • 

Both team members must be an Australian citizen or have been a permanent resident for at least two years to participate.
  • 
All applications must be completed online.
  • 
All photographs must be submitted online.
  • 
Ensure you read the Terms and Conditions on the application form.

To complete this application you will need photos of both you and your team mate, as well as of your home.
  •

  • 
OPTIONAL: If possible include BEFORE and AFTER floor plans of your home ie. A drawing or actual floor plan of the existing lay-out plus a second drawing or floor plan of how you would like to see it laid out, preferably within the home’s existing footprint (ie external wall area).

💦 Summer's here and if you don't already have a 💦 Summer's here and if you don't already have a pool, you might be wishing you did, or planning one for next year!

Funnily enough, I've never wanted a pool but that may be because I grew up in England!🤣

The votes are in for Australia's best pools and we have them all on the blog today. Via link in bio.

From tiny backyard plunge pools to big family pools with slides, acreage pools, Hamptons pools, shipping container pools, pools with views, spas and glass windows, pools on sloping blocks and everything you could think of in between!

Do you have a pool? Do you use it a lot? Do you wish you had one?

At the weekend, Seb asked if he could put a box of At the weekend, Seb asked if he could put a box of drawings out the front of the house to sell and raise money for the homeless at Christmas.

Of course I planned to sneak my own coins into the box when he wasn't looking, but then a lovely passer by left this note and $5 in an envelope "To the artist" and made his day 🥰

I want my kids to be kind and empathetic above all else ❤️ You bet I'm proud of him for coming up with this idea himself.

And as grownups, let's be the people who leave a note and encourage this sort of thing 🙏🏻

Baths are no longer the basic that you choose all your statement tiles and tapware around. Now the tub can BE the statement!

    I would love to get my house removed by your team. I have a kitchen that is about 25 years old, I have multiply sclerosis and would like to make my house more walker and wheelchair friendly. My house has never been finished still has a old out dated bathroom at the back end of the house has old and tired unfinished rooms love to let u renovate it.

    In our street there are three houses with the same floor plan. Would be a good challenge for contestants to compare what the do with the spaces

    My partner and I are super keen to apply but we’re just wondering how it would work if we actually made it on to the show… We both run our own businesses and obviously wouldn’t be able to work while we were playing house rules. We would still have to pay our mortgage though so how many weeks would it involve and is it all at our own expense?

    I would love my home renovated by the teams. I’m a single mum paying a mortgage, trying to live the Australian life with rates, insurances, private health etc. Having my home finished seems so far away.
    I’m a residential youth worker who looks after youth whom have complex to extreme behaviors (kids from abused, neglected homes) I love what I do and the differences I see through the time spent with them. I could have started many relationships with handy partners to get things done to my home but don’t want that as my independence and integrity is much valued.
    Thanks
