The first week of The Block 2020 is already done and dusted.
This season, the renovation reality show is based in the affluent Melbourne suburb of Brighton, where five teams have been tasked with bringing five family homes - from different decades - back to life.
For the first week of the competition, the five teams tackled their guest bedrooms to varying degrees of success.
Here are all the photos from The Block's guest bedrooms reveal:
Harry and Tash, 1920s
First up are father and daughter duo, Harry and Tash.
The judges are impressed by how far Harry and Tash have come since their disastrous Beach Box reveal last week.
Neale says he is "blown away" by the improvement. He says the room feels contemporary but still "nods" to the 1920s. Overall, Neale thought the room was "confident".
Darren felt like the colour palette was right on trend and it was "very 2020".
Shaynna felt their guest bedroom was "spacious" and she loved the slippers which she thought were such a representation of the era. However, she thought the carpet was more "office" than "luxury".

A bit of research and some humility is all they needed.
I ( like many viewers) would have loved the 1910 house.
This was from the post-Victorian era with hints of Art-Nouveau and The Pre-Raphaelites.
That pendant light would have blended nicely actually but I don't begrudge how it's being used now.
I'm just a viewer but I'd love to think that the woman who's insisting adding contemporary touches to that house that aren't the obvious modern cooking, air-conditioning, home-theater/sound-system items will eventually respect the period and bring that home some much-needed romance & charm.
