00:01Welcome to Chateau DIY Win The Dream,
00:04the ultimate renovation showdown.
00:06Whose idea was this?
00:08Come on, mine.
00:10Over four thrilling weeks, creativity meets competition.
00:14That looks wicked, doesn't it?
00:15Perfect fit. Oh, my gosh.
00:18As determined duos battle it out to prove.
00:21I'm having an absolute nightmare.
00:23They've got the vision, skill and grit
00:25to win the ultimate prize.
00:26I haven't got a clue.
00:27I can cry. I can literally cry.
00:30The keys to this breathtaking French property.
00:34Set on the outskirts of a Normandy nature park,
00:37the property boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms,
00:42two salons, five additional rooms to renovate,
00:46perfectly pruned gardens, stunning outbuildings,
00:49its very own orchard and even a historic bread oven.
00:53It's a lot to play for.
00:54And if we lose, I'll be fuming.
00:57Three heats and a grand finale where only the best will rise.
01:01Oh!
01:02All the pairs have to do is show they have the renovation know-how
01:06to impress me and various guest judges from Chateau DIY.
01:10I think this is really creative.
01:12What a transformation.
01:14In weekly challenges designed to push their creativity and skills to the limit.
01:19The clock is ticking.
01:20Win the week and they secure their spot in the grand finale.
01:24The dream is real.
01:25The stakes are high.
01:27This is Chateau DIY Win The Dream.
01:40Previously on Win The Dream.
01:42And then there were four.
01:45The final renovation challenge began.
01:47I want you to create a principal bedroom for yourselves.
01:51Oh!
01:52I love that.
01:54With a clash of styles.
01:56I don't want anything that's too garish.
01:59That would not be my vibe.
02:01Goal!
02:02And in the last petite challenge.
02:05Don't do that!
02:06Are you joking?
02:07The chance to stamp their name on the Chateau.
02:10Yeah, I'm not sure about this bomb.
02:11Just throw it on there and quickly stop wasting time.
02:14But with only three days remaining.
02:16Every finish has to be perfect.
02:18Which of these pairs.
02:19I've got a great funnel.
02:21This is so fun.
02:23We'll win the dream.
02:30As part of the brief, the teams must include a customised bed frame.
02:34Bring her on.
02:35OK.
02:37That was all me.
02:38Tash and Zav have decided to make a four-poster bed from scratch.
02:44Perfect.
02:45OK.
02:45So nice to see the bits of the bed in the room.
02:47I'm hoping this is going to fly up.
02:48Fabulous.
02:49That's all the posts.
02:50OK.
02:50Put those there.
02:53The bed is the key piece in the whole room.
02:56It brings everything together.
02:57It's the centrepiece.
02:58So without it, nothing else is going to look right.
03:10Right, OK.
03:11Let's lift it up.
03:13Sweet.
03:14Careful with the wall.
03:16Time is kind of rolling in us now.
03:18So we do need to get things going pretty quickly today.
03:24Done.
03:25Yeah?
03:27Right, so where's this going?
03:28So they'll be on to the back of here.
03:30You've got a two-metre drop on the curtain.
03:31Yeah.
03:32OK, so that's good.
03:35Happy with that?
03:36Yeah, yeah.
03:40That's already holding really well, actually.
03:42Is it?
03:43Yeah.
03:43Good.
03:44That is unbelievably quick.
03:48Wow!
03:49This guy's good.
03:51Just give him a shatter or something.
03:57We had all the ideas and no idea how to execute it.
03:59And now we actually do know how to execute it and execute it to a high standard.
04:02Yep.
04:03So is it going up like so?
04:05Yeah.
04:10This is becoming a four-poster bed, Natasha.
04:13I know.
04:20Look at that.
04:22Perfect fit.
04:24I'm so happy.
04:25It's coming along really, really nicely.
04:26The vision's coming to life.
04:30Yay!
04:31There.
04:32That looks good.
04:33Good?
04:33Yeah.
04:34She's the yin to my yang.
04:35And do you know what?
04:36We've beaten everything in our path so far.
04:39We're down to the final two.
04:40There's not long left.
04:41And if you can't start dreaming and believing in yourself now, then when are you going to
04:46do it?
04:46Ready?
04:47One, two, three.
04:50Two more struts to go, but...
04:52It's looking good.
04:53That is a bed.
04:54And it's going to look crazy good.
04:58We love the Joshers, but like I've said, not enough to give them a chateau.
05:01That's our bedroom up there.
05:03And we're going to be staying in it.
05:07Away from the chateau, the Joshers have gone out to do a spot of shopping.
05:11We're here to find some fabric for the upholstery work in the room and some curtains.
05:16Let's go.
05:16Let's do it.
05:21With the headboard, we're going that?
05:22Headboard and bed is that.
05:24And what about the curtains?
05:25Curtains with this as well, yeah?
05:27It's nice.
05:28It's got a colour to it.
05:29I think this would be good for some Christians.
05:31Just feel it.
05:32I'm thinking this will kind of break up the pink to create a bit of softness.
05:36We've got some different shades going on.
05:37I think that's going to really work.
05:38Yeah.
05:38It's going to be a lot of money.
05:40Should we find out the price first, then we can work it out?
05:42Yeah.
05:44Each pair have 700 euros to spend on their bedroom designs.
05:48It will be 140 euros 61, please.
05:56Thank you so much.
05:57Yeah, thank you.
05:58Au revoir.
05:59Au revoir.
06:00God, it's so heavy.
06:01It's because we bought so much.
06:03We bought the whole shop.
06:04It's a bedroom, so.
06:05Yeah.
06:10Back at the chateau.
06:12That's every bit, yeah?
06:14The first coat of paint is on Tash and Zav's bespoke bed.
06:18Right, that'll do.
06:20Let's pick this up later.
06:22Now, it's time to start adding texture to the room.
06:26I think watching the wallpaper go up is always a nice moment,
06:29because it does give the room some grandeur.
06:31It just means it all looks a bit more polished and finished,
06:34which would take some anxiety away.
06:38It would be nice to get all this over the line this morning.
06:42As you know.
06:44It is actually going on really nice here.
06:46Looks good.
06:47Do you like it?
06:48It looks really good.
06:52Keep it off the wall until it's on the right bit of wall, ideally.
06:57There it is.
07:00Final piece of wallpaper.
07:02Hello.
07:03Hello.
07:03Hello.
07:05So, Tash, have you finished the wallpapering?
07:07Happy?
07:07I'm very happy.
07:08I'm really pleased with the colour.
07:09I think the green pops perfectly.
07:11The main part of this challenge was a bespoke bed.
07:15Do you feel we've met the brief?
07:17I'd say this is pretty bespoke, yeah.
07:19I think you've smashed the brief.
07:21It's very, very good.
07:22Very good.
07:23Very proud.
07:23It's been a real labour of love, hasn't it?
07:25It has, yeah.
07:26I've been in the workshop for a long time with this.
07:29It looks kind of well put together.
07:31Are you pleased with the colour?
07:32Yeah, it's really lovely.
07:33Absolutely.
07:34It's just a nice white chalk paint, so it obviously sticks nice to the wood.
07:38And then I'm going to gild on top of all the flowers, so it will be lovely and gold and
07:41pretty.
07:42I love how you've now really identified your look, your aesthetic.
07:46You've nailed it down, haven't you?
07:48Yeah.
07:48Lots of detailing, lots of gold gilding, and actually your skills complement each other beautifully.
07:52Yeah.
07:53Yeah, it's going well.
07:54Yeah, it will be our dream bed.
07:57In, hopefully, your dream chateau.
08:00I know.
08:00Fingers crossed, yeah.
08:04The Joshes are back from their shopping trip.
08:07OK, mattress number two.
08:09And they've just had an update regarding their budget.
08:12Budget-wise, we have completely run out of money.
08:15We have no money left, literally no pennies at all.
08:18And they still have lots to finish in their room.
08:20So, we are having to be really creative with what we're going to do.
08:25The screws aren't going to get done.
08:26So, we've run out gold paint, and we've also run out spray paint,
08:30and we still need to kind of do the tables and the mirror, things like that.
08:35Yeah.
08:36I'm thinking we might need to rethink our budget
08:38and maybe look at taking some of the stuff back to the shop.
08:42Yeah.
08:42To get a little refund, and then maybe we can try and afford some of them items.
08:46Yeah, that's what we'll do.
08:48OK, how about the gold ceiling?
08:50I mean, I think the gold ceiling looks good.
08:52It's just a bit patchy in some areas.
08:56I don't know if there's anything we can do about that.
08:57I mean, gold paint's expensive, so, yeah, I think it looks good as it is.
09:02When we move in, we'll do another coat.
09:05Financial chat over, they can now make a start on their bespoke bed.
09:09We've repurposed a single mattress.
09:11We bought this foam from a charity shop for our custom-made headboard.
09:17As the foam's quite thick, our first challenge is going to be cutting it in half.
09:28The headboard is going to be quite a feature in the room, so any lumps and bumps, you'll probably see
09:33it.
09:33So we're going to try and make that as neat job as we possibly can.
09:38I think it's just stressful because, at this point, we just can't make any mistakes.
09:42Everything has to kind of go to plan.
09:44So, um, wish me luck.
09:50And it's not just the foam for the headboard the Josh's need to get right.
09:54Top two.
09:57We've literally ordered and bought enough fabric exactly for the headboard.
10:02And because it's so big, the fabric cost us, like, a large percentage of our budget.
10:06So, um, I literally have, like, centimetres to spare.
10:12If we don't get this right, then the headboard will be ugly.
10:17It won't have any fabric on it.
10:18We are literally doing bougie on a budget.
10:20So we're trying to make this really plush, really luxurious.
10:23A lot is riding on this pink bed.
10:25Do I trust myself? Have I measured this right?
10:29I need to make sure all of this is painted.
10:32While Tash is finishing off painting their four-poster bed,
10:37Zav is outside, repurposing their six-euro brokamp chairs.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Into bedside tables.
10:45Saw this really unusual idea recently
10:49about chopping up chairs to make different things.
10:53So I'll give it a go.
10:55Very simple design.
10:58Let's take the back off.
11:00There's your tabletop.
11:01I'll pop a piece of ply on here.
11:03Pop those on top as the actual tabletop itself, so...
11:06Super simple, shouldn't take too long.
11:12And that's the second one.
11:14My tabletops.
11:17Right.
11:18Josh is also getting creative with some leftover wood.
11:21We were going to buy some bedside tables
11:23and, like, upcycle them a little bit,
11:25but the budget is currently zero.
11:27We have nothing left.
11:29So, yeah, I've seen someone doing something similar
11:31to these bedside tables before,
11:33so I wanted to give them a go
11:35and see how easy it was to do them.
11:37I'm going to put a little tabletop on top.
11:39Originally, they don't have that,
11:40but I thought I'll just put a little bit of a...
11:42little twist on top of it.
11:44Being a dancer, you always strive
11:46to achieve the perfect thing.
11:47And with the wood,
11:48it was all kind of cut into different shapes,
11:51but actually nothing's perfect in a chateau.
11:54So, yeah, I just need sanding down
11:55and then putting a tabletop on,
11:57and I think it looks good.
12:11Hello.
12:12Hello.
12:13How are we going?
12:14Good.
12:14Set.
12:15Tabletop's done.
12:16Looks lovely.
12:17Good?
12:18Yeah.
12:18I can paint that up and it'll look really nice.
12:21Yeah.
12:23So we're almost there?
12:25Not really.
12:25We still have quite a lot to do.
12:27Yes, ma'am.
12:38We are back in France
12:40where our final two pairs are battling it out
12:42in their final renovation challenge
12:44to try and win this quarter of a million pound property.
12:49They've been asked to transform one of the chateau's bedrooms,
12:52reflecting their own taste and style.
12:56With only six days to complete the challenge
12:58and a budget of only €700, the pressure is on.
13:02Yeah.
13:0335 centimetres.
13:03Yeah.
13:04And the pairs have only two days left to go.
13:06We bought this on, like, an online marketplace
13:09and we got a bargain.
13:10It was only €25.
13:13So it's...
13:14We love the colour and we love everything about it,
13:15but we just don't love the sort of width.
13:17It's a bit too deep for the bedroom
13:19because it's going to go next to the bed.
13:21So the plan is to cut it in half
13:24and then attach it to the wall.
13:29While the Joshes measure up...
13:32Me and my friend, the sounder.
13:36Xav is making a start on their chest of drawers.
13:42It's coming off so quickly, I'm just going to take the whole lot off
13:45because then the paint will definitely stick.
13:47It should be an easier job than putting the bed up,
13:50so...
13:51Fingers crossed.
13:55Upstairs in the chateau...
13:56Who's got that?
13:57The door.
13:58The Joshes dresser is cut and ready to be fitted into place.
14:02I just wanted to make sure it's central,
14:04but we can just do it by the eye.
14:05So if you go back there...
14:07..and just see...
14:07What you're done for.
14:11That looks about right.
14:12Yeah.
14:13We've chosen to kind of put this panel in around
14:15in a square to frame it,
14:17and then our idea is we're going to put a big bit of artwork up here.
14:20These are the drawers that we've had to chop in half
14:23and then put the back back on.
14:25Yeah.
14:26Put it in now.
14:31Lovely.
14:36So we've decided to go for green on the top of these lovely chest of drawers,
14:40and we're going to be gilding the edges
14:42because obviously that's our style these days,
14:44so we're making sure it all fits in with our little signature.
14:49I think this green is really lovely with the darker wood,
14:51so it will look really nice.
14:54A little bit of an up-cycle.
14:57The idea is to kind of blend this in with our panelling,
15:00so we want everything that comes into this room
15:02to feel like it's meant to be here.
15:03It's not just been plonked in here,
15:05so we are making sure each piece of furniture feels like it's ours.
15:10Well, this is pretty much done, I think.
15:14Over with the Joshes.
15:15Mine, mine, mine.
15:18Their customised bed is finally finished
15:20and ready for the final touches.
15:24Whoo!
15:25Look at that!
15:27My God!
15:29Whoo!
15:32Yeah!
15:36That's a massive headboard!
15:38Yeah.
15:39It is pretty big.
15:40It was pretty big.
15:42I think you described it as being that big,
15:44but when you see it in situ...
15:46Yeah, that is two metres high
15:48and quite wide as well.
15:50It's quite chateau-sized.
15:52It really is, isn't it?
15:53Are you pleased with it?
15:54Yeah.
15:55Yeah, that was...
15:56It was quite a big project, that,
15:58and so now it's up, we feel a bit relieved.
16:00Yeah.
16:01I mean, creating that upholstery there is one thing,
16:03but a concave curve like that,
16:06it's almost impossible what you've done there.
16:08Yeah.
16:09I don't know how we achieved it, really.
16:10It was kind of like,
16:11in our head originally this was going to be one piece,
16:13and then what we decided to do
16:14was to create a bit more depth with the fabric,
16:17split it into six pieces.
16:18So it's been a big project, you know,
16:20it was like six individual upholstered pieces
16:24which came together to make a bit of a puzzle.
16:26But upholstering one big piece is often really tricky
16:29because the fabric goes a bit saggy if you stretch it too far,
16:32so I think that's a really clever way
16:33of making sure it's nice and taut.
16:35Yeah, we're really happy with how it's turned out.
16:37It's fantastic.
16:38Now, two singles to make a king?
16:41It's bigger than a double, slightly narrower than a king.
16:45Right.
16:45But we're happy with this because we didn't want a double,
16:48you know, we wanted something big,
16:49we've got a double at home, we wanted to upgrade.
16:51So yeah, this is, we're really happy with this.
16:53So presumably using two single mattresses
16:55was cheaper as well.
16:56It was definitely cheaper.
16:58We were kind of looking at headboards like this online
17:00and they were about like 2,000 to 3,000 euros
17:02and we've actually managed to make this whole bed
17:04for probably 100 euros, including the fabric,
17:07the bases, the legs, everything that you can see.
17:10So we're really happy with that.
17:12Now that is upside down on a budget.
17:15Yeah.
17:15And what about bedding?
17:16We spent quite a lot on the bedding
17:17because bedding is quite important in a bedroom.
17:19We want it to feel really nice.
17:20Yeah.
17:21So we spent like 40 euros on the bedding
17:23which is quite a big chunk of our 700 euro budget
17:25but we think it's worth it.
17:26I love that in this challenge,
17:2740 euros has become a lot of money.
17:2940 euros in this challenge is a massive amount of money.
17:32It's like the amount you can do for that much.
17:34We've found that you can be so resourceful.
17:36We're using every single inch of fabric, every euro.
17:39So does that mean the budget is looking more healthy?
17:41It's all disappeared.
17:43Right.
17:43So does that mean you're absolutely out of money?
17:45Yeah.
17:46Yeah.
17:48So where else has the money gone?
17:50The money's gone on the walls, the paint, the wood for the panelling,
17:55all the fabric for the upholstery.
17:58We've bought this lovely dresser.
18:00We've got a lovely rug.
18:01We've like splashed out on the items that we feel like are going to add value to the room.
18:06Every single piece, however small it is, is kind of like being hand chosen
18:10because we think it's going to complement the design and the kind of style of the room.
18:13That's the joy of working on a limited budget.
18:16It encourages you to be innovative, upcycle and look what you've created.
18:20Right, you've got lots to do.
18:22Yeah.
18:22See you soon.
18:27With the French weather being as temperamental as it is back in the UK.
18:31I might as well give it a crack.
18:33Tash is trying to learn a new skill under the cover of the workshop.
18:36I kind of volunteered myself to sew on this challenge because we need curtains at the end of the day.
18:44Oh, this isn't on.
18:45It's fine.
18:47I was going to say, it's definitely not on.
18:49I think sewing is a really good skill to be able to customise your home.
18:57And if I had my own chateau, then I would want to be customising all of my soft furnishings,
19:02so I've got to practise.
19:06How are you getting on?
19:09Look at that.
19:11Look at that.
19:13It's straight.
19:15A surprise.
19:16Are you proud of me?
19:17Yes, it's brilliant.
19:19Well done.
19:19I've made a curtain.
19:20You've made a curtain.
19:22We are trying to find some bar that we're going to make some artwork with for the walls.
19:29And we wanted to make it ourselves and custom make it because, you know, it is potentially a future bedroom.
19:34And hopefully, it'll look really stunning on the wall.
19:37So, just a way of us kind of putting our stamp on the room even more.
19:41Who knew Bart could look so glamorous?
19:45Bougie.
19:46Sorry, lovely artwork.
19:52The pressure is on because we are both artists and, like, we love art.
20:00Are you happy with that? Does it look good?
20:01Yeah, it looks great.
20:02So, let's just design it a bit.
20:04So, I think that one looks...
20:06I think diagonal like that.
20:07It's diagonal.
20:07Yeah, like that.
20:08I don't know.
20:09Yeah.
20:09Then like that.
20:10Yeah, a bit more spread out.
20:13I'm happy because all the little details that we've wanted to get ticked off the list are slowly getting done.
20:18So, yeah, very happy.
20:24Over by the workshop...
20:26These are lovely, aren't they?
20:27Zav and Tash are also hand crafting some artwork.
20:30So, I have taken some pieces from the garden, as I always do, because I love it,
20:36and a little bit of this leaf, and just turned it into little frames for our room,
20:44which I think are very pretty, and they tie in all of the lovely botanical vibes that me and Zav
20:48really love.
20:50So...
20:51And Zav wants to take their floral designs one step further.
20:54It's called Filaro.
20:56It is a...
20:58It's a tree that we have in Mauritius.
21:02And...
21:02Zavier is Mauritian.
21:04I'm Mauritian.
21:05And our favourite beach in Mauritius goes up into a woods full of these trees.
21:12So, it would be really cool if we can squish it enough to actually fit it in the frames.
21:17Because there's nothing more personalised than that, as far as I'm concerned.
21:20I'm just trying to squish it enough.
21:22I'm not sure you're going to be able to crush it properly.
21:25But I can... I have probably a bit of wiggle room in here.
21:29Let's try one of the bigger ones.
21:32Yeah, I think I can get it in.
21:34You really have to make the cushions, honey.
21:36We don't have time for you to be doing that.
21:37So, can you forget about it, please?
21:39Yeah.
21:39I've got one. I'll use that one as well.
21:43The pairs are coming to the end of their fourth day transforming their bedrooms.
21:48I think we've had a really good day today.
21:50We've got through loads on our list.
21:52Trying to keep it as well.
21:53So now, as neatly as you can, you need to cut along this edge.
21:56The main part of the brief is a custom-made bed.
21:59That's what we really wanted to focus on.
22:01We really wanted to get that right.
22:02And I feel like we've done that.
22:03It genuinely is starting to feel like our room.
22:06It's going well.
22:07That's good.
22:07We're feeling confident because what we've done with our room
22:10is we've stood by our own style choices
22:14and we have done exactly what we wanted to do.
22:18We've just completely immersed ourself in our own creative vision.
22:24We've got so much done.
22:26I think our to-do list is actually quite short now.
22:29Coming down.
22:30Like, the wallpaper's exactly our taste.
22:33The bed is our taste.
22:34The bedside tables.
22:35Everything that we've put in there.
22:36Even the chest of drawers now that it's been painted.
22:39It's all the sort of things that we love.
22:41So it feels very much like it's coming together as our bedroom.
22:44There's finishing bits to do on the bed.
22:46We just need to keep this up until the finish line
22:48to make sure everything that goes in there is perfect.
22:51Ah.
23:01Two pairs have made it to the grand finale.
23:03We are moving fast.
23:05And are going head-to-head in their final renovation challenge.
23:08Great.
23:08To create their very own principal bedroom.
23:11That's that one done.
23:12They've had six days and €700 to finish their rooms.
23:16I think I was a magpie in a previous life
23:19and I'm drawn to all things shiny.
23:21And now it's the final day of design at the chateau.
23:26What?
23:26Whoa!
23:27It's the final push of the final challenge.
23:31So it's nervy.
23:32It's very nervy.
23:33The butterflies are not just in the garden.
23:37These look great.
23:38I've got four curtains to do.
23:40That's a lot of curtain.
23:42It feels like the keys are kind of like dangling there in front of us.
23:45Wait there.
23:46Wait there.
23:47Wait there.
23:48I might take my shoe off.
23:52We're 100% fighting for the chateau
23:54and we're going to like race to the finish line.
23:57While one Josh carries on making the curtains.
23:59That was actually easier than I thought.
24:01The other Josh is upstairs giving a new lease of life to their two vintage chairs.
24:05Our plan is to take the fabric off these chairs and re-upholster them.
24:09So I'm taking these out but I am going to reuse these.
24:12The soft furnishings for us are just as important as like the construction and the design and stuff like that.
24:16I mean we've really never done anything like this before.
24:19So this is throw ourselves in and see what we can do.
24:22Oh look.
24:24Two leases of life this chair.
24:26So I'm glad to restore it once more.
24:28This will be its best lease of life.
24:30Because we did it.
24:32Ah!
24:34Pins everywhere.
24:38This is all fun and games.
24:40I think what I'm going to do is a few little staples first.
24:48I've literally been the cushion queen throughout this competition.
24:51I don't know why I always leave cushions to the last day.
24:56I think it just kind of gives me a sense of chill before the chaos of dressing the room and
25:03just doing all the final bits.
25:04Oh.
25:05You alright?
25:06Oh yeah.
25:07What are you doing?
25:08I'm giving one last lease of life for the workbenches.
25:11What?
25:12Why?
25:13What for?
25:15The base of our bed.
25:18Base of the bed?
25:19Yeah.
25:20Alright.
25:21Interesting.
25:34I figure this is the best way to hold the mattress up.
25:37You're going to need two of them now anyway.
25:42There you go.
25:46Right.
25:47To the room.
25:51Right now.
25:53Right.
25:53Lift it on.
25:54Like this.
25:55I need to move it all the way over to your side and then lay it down.
25:59You come all the way over here.
26:01If you can.
26:02Can you get it all the way over?
26:02No.
26:03I can't without touching the bed.
26:04Okay.
26:04Here you go.
26:05Try again.
26:06You'll have more space now.
26:07No.
26:08It's still going to scuff the bed.
26:08Darling.
26:10Darling me.
26:11I'm not scuffing my bed.
26:14Nice one.
26:16That end is fine.
26:17You can just touch up it.
26:18You need to go up over your block then.
26:20Let me come on that side.
26:21On that side.
26:22Now.
26:22Now see if you can get into that corner.
26:24There you go.
26:25No I can't.
26:26No I can't.
26:26No I can't.
26:28I physically can't.
26:29Okay.
26:29So how about we do this.
26:31Sav.
26:31I can't.
26:32Look it's scuffing the bed.
26:33You're going to ruin all my gilding that I've spent ages doing.
26:35Let me not do it on this end.
26:36Here we go.
26:37It could be literally a whole foot smaller than this.
26:39Did not need this to be honest.
26:40I wish you cut it much shorter.
26:42This is far too big.
26:51All right.
26:53Good.
26:55Whew.
27:00And that's where the mattress goes.
27:02The final resting place of the workbench is.
27:05They're coming back into the chateau.
27:18Tagged.
27:23Returning to help me judge the final challenge are experienced renovators Nick and Nicole.
27:29And with only an hour to go they want to see how the pairs are getting on.
27:33Keep going we've got one more to do so.
27:36Don't stop me.
27:36Nearly finished.
27:37Winning the chateau would change our life in so many ways.
27:40Nothing would be the same after this.
27:42Nearly there.
27:42Nearly there.
27:43Because this is the final renovation challenge it's all become very real now that it's either
27:48us or Zav and Tash.
27:51Tell me where the pictures go.
27:53Yeah there.
27:53It's fine.
27:54We both really want the room to be that beautiful finished product and we just want to show that
28:00we can pull it all together now.
28:02We just need to get all guns blazing.
28:03There's absolutely no time to spare.
28:05We are going to be busy until Max says to stop.
28:10We need to hang the sconces and the frames and the shelf.
28:15We've got five minutes.
28:19I'm looking for some flowers for our bedside tables.
28:24We've got some lovely vases.
28:26That one there.
28:27Like that.
28:28OK.
28:28Don't.
28:29Go.
28:32Sorry garden.
28:46It's tools down time for your final room renovation.
28:50It's time.
28:51Let's go.
28:51We did it.
28:52Did it.
28:53Smashed it.
28:55Yeah.
28:56Yeah.
28:57You can now dress and set your rooms, your individual style.
29:00We'll be up soon to review your principal bedrooms and customised beds.
29:09I think we hit the brief completely on the head.
29:13We've pushed the limits of what we thought we could achieve with renovation and we've come
29:18out the other side with a gorgeous bedroom that I think we can hold our heads up and say
29:22completely represents who we are and feel really proud of it.
29:26We are exhausted.
29:28I've never been so tired in my life.
29:29But we did it.
29:30That's the main thing.
29:32We don't want to leave.
29:32We would be absolutely devastated to leave.
29:35Yeah.
29:36All we can do now is wait and hope and dream.
29:41At the beginning of the week, our final two pairs were asked to show off their individual
29:45styles by turning an upstairs room into their very own principal bedroom, complete with a
29:51bespoke bed.
29:53After six days and only 700 euros to transform the spaces, which pair will be worthy winners?
30:02Ooh.
30:03Ooh.
30:05Making full use of the 700 euro budget, Zav and Tash have brought their signature classic
30:11style.
30:12To bring the outside in, the pair turn to nature inspired design with floral wallpaper
30:18and bespoke botanical art.
30:20Oh, wow.
30:21Oh, wow.
30:23First impression.
30:24Oh, wow.
30:25I think.
30:25Oh, wow.
30:26I'm impressed.
30:28Yeah.
30:28Complimenting their handmade half wall panelling.
30:32They've breathed new life into their vintage finds, including a pair of bespoke bedside tables.
30:39And for a little more than 100 euros, their handmade four poster bed has become the defining
30:45feature of the room.
30:47I know.
30:48It's come together really well.
30:49It really has, hasn't it?
30:50So the customised bed started life as a headboard and a footboard, as standard, but
30:56Zav has turned it into a four poster using these lengths of timber and he's routed a detail
31:01onto every single edge.
31:02Yeah.
31:03Looking closely in there, you can see it's done a little bit uneven, but you know, there's
31:08definitely a lot of effort that's gone into that and it does look really good.
31:12It's the finishing touches that really elevate the space.
31:16The sconces either side of the bed actually makes the panelling work.
31:20Yes, it does.
31:21I completely agree.
31:23And it's beautifully light and bright and fresh.
31:26But chateau-esque.
31:29Zav has made the bedside tables from the bottom of two dining chairs, which is just inspired.
31:35Oh, yeah.
31:36That's really clever.
31:38What do you think is the overall colour scheme?
31:40For the feel of the chateau, I think it works really well.
31:43They've tied it all together in a very, very clever way.
31:46And also, obviously, I love how they've gone crazy with the gilding of things.
31:51A little bit everywhere.
31:52But again, they've threaded it together, haven't they?
31:53Exactly.
31:54As with the green.
31:55What do you think of the general layout?
31:57If I used the space well?
31:59Personally, I would have done the same as them, because you have the view out.
32:02And you know, if it's your forever bedroom, that's what you really, really want to experience
32:06on a day-to-day basis.
32:07Although it's beautiful, it also feels quite practical to me.
32:10You've got a big work surface next to your bed for a glass of water or a book or your
32:14glasses.
32:15A little area here is a dressing table.
32:18Plenty of storage throughout.
32:20It's comfortable.
32:21It's workable.
32:22It's livable.
32:24I've also noticed a little picture frame.
32:26So actually, they made the artwork themselves.
32:28So there's mint leaves from the garden that they framed.
32:31And there's seeds from Mauritius, which is where Zav is from.
32:34So they're really personal to them.
32:36So neither Zav or Tash could sew when they started this competition.
32:41But they gave it a shot.
32:42They learned.
32:43And actually, Tash has now created all the curtains around the bed and at the window.
32:47What do you think?
32:48The finish of the sewing leaves a bit for the imagination.
32:53But time constraints, they're great.
32:55And it looks really elegant.
32:57And actually, Tash has really lent into the gold gilding.
33:01Have you seen it on the end of the bed, look?
33:02That is gorgeous.
33:04This is the piece de resistance of the entire room.
33:07This is the wow when you walk in.
33:10I think it's fair to say Zav and Tash have created their dream bedroom.
33:15This is their actual ambition for how they want their life to look.
33:18This is personal.
33:20Yeah.
33:21And you can see it reflected in there.
33:22Very much so.
33:23Personality.
33:24Well, that is not a bad first room.
33:27I get the impression the next room is going to be very different.
33:35Oh, wow.
33:37Also maxing out their €700 budget, the Joshes have gone big and bold with their principal bedroom.
33:43We've said it before, but I think we need to say it again.
33:46Wow.
33:47Yeah.
33:47What a transformation.
33:49Wow.
33:49How different is this room from the other room?
33:53Spending a quarter of their budget on fabric, the Joshes have upholstered their statement
33:57two-metre headboard in blush pink to contrast against the dramatic black walls.
34:03It's completely different.
34:04George's.
34:05Night and day.
34:06And yet so very Josh and Josh.
34:08It's opulent.
34:10It's the word that comes to mind for me.
34:12Oh, my goodness, the ceiling's gold.
34:15Yeah.
34:15And the headboard, they've made that from scratch.
34:18It's a proper statement piece.
34:21It is a statement piece.
34:22It's super elegant.
34:23It's super suave.
34:24If you look along the line slightly, it wavers in and out.
34:28But I mean, for a first go, not bad, huh?
34:31No.
34:32It is just very impressive.
34:34It was, however, quite expensive.
34:36So the material for the headboard, the curtains, these little chairs, that was over €150.
34:42Wow.
34:43But worth it?
34:44Absolutely.
34:45Alongside their bed, the Josh's crafted bedside tables from leftover wood and customised a €25 dresser to complete the space.
34:54So I really love the dressing table they've made on the far wall.
34:57And they've actually taken a standard desk, ripped it in half and then used half against the wall.
35:02And they've even trimmed down the drawers to make it fully functional.
35:05That is clever.
35:06That is clever.
35:07Because obviously they didn't have the space, did they?
35:09Yeah.
35:09And that really does maximise.
35:10It does.
35:11They have a very good eye.
35:12So they've done the side tables.
35:14They made them out of individual bits of 2x2 timber and fixed them all together.
35:19Everywhere you look, there's something else going on and catching the eye.
35:24I'm loving the colour scheme.
35:26The soft pinks.
35:28Yeah, I was worried about the darkness of the room.
35:33But actually, the pink, especially kind of around the windows and things, really brings the light back in again.
35:38It doesn't feel dark and dingy, which is not something I thought I'd say for a room with four black
35:44walls.
35:44Yeah.
35:45The art?
35:46That's actually bark they found on the grounds that they've painted gold and then mounted in a frame.
35:51They painted black.
35:52A lot of creativity gone into this room.
35:55I think they've struck a really nice balance of classical and contemporary.
36:00These chairs, when they arrived, had a hideous dark orange fabric.
36:05So they've even re-upholstered them.
36:07Very nicely done.
36:08With the beading and stuff around it as well.
36:10Yeah, exactly.
36:11Attention to detail, that's their thing.
36:13Yeah.
36:14Well, this is not going to be an easy decision to make, is it?
36:17No.
36:18No.
36:19No.
36:19Both couples have worked very hard.
36:21We were hoping it was going to be easy, but no.
36:25Shall we have a chat?
36:26I think we need to.
36:27Yes.
36:30I'm really sad that it's over.
36:32It just feels very surreal.
36:34We've been in this world and in this bubble, in this beautiful house for so long.
36:39And we love it and we don't want it to end.
36:42We've worked really hard.
36:44I think we can say that we definitely did enough.
36:46We've fallen in love with the chateau and it's like, we feel like we've got such a vision for what
36:49it could be.
36:50But it's neck and neck at this point.
36:51Yeah.
36:52The competition is tight.
37:01Two pairs of aspiring chateau owners have battled it out in their final renovation challenge.
37:07Creating their very own stylish bedrooms.
37:10They've had six days and 700 euros to complete their designs.
37:14But there can only be one winner.
37:17It's now up to Nick, Nicole and I to decide.
37:20So, Zav and Tash's room, what did you think?
37:23Beautiful.
37:24That very first impression, very warm and cosy and inviting.
37:26It was very impressive.
37:27Mm.
37:28So that four-poster bed was really adventurous and there was lots of skill displayed.
37:33Was it perfect?
37:34No.
37:35No.
37:36But I think a really good effort.
37:39I think it's fair to say Zav's carpentry skills have gone through the roof.
37:43In an early challenge, Zav made a bar which was a bit rough around the edges.
37:47So to see that evolve into making a four-poster bed from scratch with all that beautiful detailing,
37:52it's really admirable.
37:54That evolution of skill is really impressive.
37:56Now, Tash is a self-confessed magpie.
37:59We've noticed.
38:00She's gilded everything.
38:02But I think it's really nicely done.
38:03It works.
38:04I think the other thing that worked really well was the wallpaper, which was really nicely chosen.
38:09Mm.
38:09Mm.
38:09And what about the Mauritian seeds?
38:11Did you like them?
38:11That's a very nice way to bring a little bit of home into your potentially new home.
38:17I would personally prefer the bed to be on the other side of the room,
38:21so that that would be the first thing that you see when you walk in through the door,
38:24because that, to me, is the wow factor.
38:26I think I agree on the first impression that actually, as a practical bedroom,
38:30when I want to wake up in the morning and look out over this view,
38:33I think I'd have had it exactly the way they did.
38:35I disagree.
38:36But I can see your point, and the window would get lost a little bit.
38:41And speaking of big wow factor when you walk in the room,
38:44Josh and Josh's room.
38:46Yes.
38:46That definitely had the wow.
38:48That was, you know, you just open a door and you just go,
38:51oh, my goodness, this is stunning.
38:55What did you think to painting all the walls black?
38:58Was it risky?
38:59Very.
39:00That was a huge gamble, right?
39:02Because I thought it would just make the room so entirely dark,
39:05but with the really soft pink and all the small details,
39:09which brought the light in, was beautifully done.
39:11It actually looked quite inviting in the end.
39:13It did.
39:14Now, that giant headboard, did they bite off more than they could chew?
39:17I think that was a big gamble for them.
39:19Yeah.
39:19When you walked in the room, it works.
39:21When you walked around to look at the bed from the window,
39:25I felt that it took over.
39:26I think another thing for me, obviously, on closer look,
39:28looking at the skill set, the cutting of the foam and things,
39:31it's a little bit to be desired.
39:32But again, first attempt at making a two-metre-tall headboard,
39:37that's a fantastic effort.
39:38Absolutely.
39:39No, really good.
39:40The dresser, I thought, was an incredible idea.
39:44And I love the artwork that they produced with the wood,
39:47gold gilding, all of that thing.
39:49It's an incredibly striking room,
39:51but some of the more practical details,
39:54such as the side tables, for instance,
39:57they hosted that beautiful vase,
39:58but where do I put my glass of water at night?
40:01It was more of a sculpture than a side table.
40:04Exactly, exactly.
40:05But then we're nitpicking now, aren't we?
40:08Now, the gold ceiling.
40:10They did run out of paint,
40:12but do you think they got away with it?
40:13I think the gold ceiling reflects the light
40:15and it creates a little bit more kind of warmth in the room.
40:17But I think to your point,
40:19that lack of paint, that finish,
40:22could have been better.
40:23Two beautiful rooms, loads of skills shown.
40:27This is super tough.
40:28It is very, very difficult.
40:30Yeah, and, you know, week on week,
40:32they've come on again.
40:33It's impressive to see.
40:34I think we know what we've got to do.
40:41With such impressive transformations,
40:44have we seen enough to award a winner?
40:58Well done, everybody.
41:00I was blown away by what you achieved
41:02in such a short time on a limited budget.
41:05Which is a true reflection of real chateau life.
41:09Your personality has shone through in your designs.
41:12Plus, it was so impressive
41:13to see all the techniques used in both rooms,
41:16and you all really brought your A-game.
41:19Sam, Tash, tell me about your design style.
41:22Well, we really love classic grand chateau style,
41:26so we love the sweeping four-poster bed,
41:28we love the elaborate sort of drapage,
41:31and we love having, you know, a bit of floral wallpaper,
41:33bringing the garden into the room,
41:35so that's why I made those lovely frames.
41:37And you love a bit of routing, don't you?
41:39I like routing.
41:40I like routing.
41:41I like sanding.
41:43I like playing around in the workshop.
41:46Yeah.
41:46So we went with a four-poster bed for that reason.
41:49Gave me lots to do.
41:50Yeah.
41:52Josh and Josh, tell me more about the inspiration
41:54of your bedroom.
41:55So we really wanted to bring a modern take
41:58on what we could bring to the chateau,
42:00and we wanted to go really, like, bold and vibrant
42:03with the dark colours, with the lovely pinks.
42:06We wanted to kind of bring in some of the classic French furniture
42:09to kind of honour where we are in France.
42:12But, yeah, we wanted to bring our own personalities into the room
42:15and that sense of, like, bougie, elegant, dramatic.
42:19So, yeah, we really hope you like it.
42:21It's amazing to have witnessed the evolution of all of you
42:25throughout this competition, and I'm really proud of you.
42:28Unfortunately, only one pair can win this quarter
42:31of a million-pound prize.
42:35If we were basing this on the Business Renovation Challenge,
42:39I would go one way.
42:41But if we were basing it on the bedroom renovations,
42:44I would go the other way.
42:46So we've had to make a decision.
42:52And the pair winning this phenomenal prize...
43:08...will have to be decided after one last challenge
43:11because it was too close to course.
43:14Well done, everybody.
43:15I hate you.
43:21I hate you so much!
43:24Well done.
43:29You got us good.
43:30I went all fizzy.
43:33Oh, God.
43:36It was just too tight to call.
43:40So go get some sleep and all will be revealed
43:43when I see you back here tomorrow.
43:44Well done.
43:50That was very unexpected.
43:52We were all shocked.
43:53We were like, what?
43:54Yeah.
43:55Now we just have to wait in anticipation
43:57to find out what's happening next.
43:58Yeah.
43:59They had us for a minute there.
44:00That was stress level 9,000.
44:02Yeah.
44:02Oh, you were clutching my hands.
44:05So hard.
44:06Yeah.
44:07It was a very nervy moment, that.
44:08Panic.
44:09Yeah.
44:10Whatever happens, we'll, you know,
44:12do what we always do and we'll smash it.
44:14We're never going to get this chance again.
44:15So, yeah, we're going to throw everything into it.
44:17Our heart.
44:18Our soul.
44:19Yeah.
44:19And we were going to go for it.
44:21Absolutely.
44:21We have the energy.
44:23We have the passion.
44:23We have the enthusiasm.
44:24We have the drive.
44:25And we're going to smash it.
44:27Bring it on.
44:27Bring it on.
44:29Next time.
44:30This is the final push.
44:33The heat is on.
44:35Whoa.
44:36That's too hot.
44:37In the final face off.

44:40For the keys to a new life.
44:42We're very nervous.
44:44Who will be blown off course.
