For 14 seasons we’ve seen Shaynna Blaze as a judge on The Block, as well as helping homeowners spruce up their spaces on Selling Houses Australia.
Now, for the first time, Shaynna is doing it for herself and her family in the heartwarming new series, Country Home Rescue with Shaynna Blaze, set to premiere Wednesday November 16 at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now..
In Country Home Rescue, Shaynna, together with her children, embarks on the restoration of a dilapidated historical home in regional Victoria.
Watch as they navigate through a never-ending maze of problems when their grand plans are sideswiped by building restrictions, frustrating delays and a huge budget blowout.
It will take every ounce of passion and persistence to turn this renovation nightmare into the forever home of their dreams.
But you’ll be amazed as room by room is revealed.
EPISODE ONE SYNOPSIS
Shaynna Blaze dreams of turning a 130-year-old country house into her family’s forever home. The run-down property was originally purchased as a film set for the family’s first filmmaking project. Now Shaynna wants daughter Carly and son Jess to chip in and build the dream together. She just has to convince them first! As Shaynna plots out the renovation strategy, christening rooms with their very own ‘titles,’ we get a sneak peek into the complex (and sometimes off-the-wall) machinations of her design imagination. The plan sounds simple: renovate the existing house and features to create the perfect country home retreat, but the house, and its 1890’s DNA, has other plans for Shaynna’s workload and the budget.
EPISODE TWO SYNOPSIS
Tackling the Kyneton renovation in sections, Shaynna transforms a disused downstairs room into a laundry and powder room, creating the transition space to the upper level of the home. Meanwhile she brings the upstairs spaces alive with a child’s room for her granddaughter, a main bathroom, a bedroom for ‘princess’ Carly, and a very special secret space for her son Jess to reveal. Having dealt with more asbestos and demolition than expected, Shaynna already is feeling the pressure to omit some of the design features she’s set her heart on. This is a family project, and siblings Carly and Jess are all hands-on for making the dream come true, but is Shaynna being completely up-front with them about the home’s escalating budget?
