Sonny and Alicia’s main bathroom

Score: 26.5, fourth place

Deeming the bathroom as home to the best styling she had seen all day, Shaynna said the space was relaxing, calming and beautiful.

She loved the green poured concrete solid bath, but the room layout was a letdown, she said.

“This should be bathroom of the day if you look around,” Marty said, noting their change of layout left a massive wall wasted.

But Marty said if Sonny and Alicia chose not to act on their recommendations to remedy the layout, buyers will still like it.

“If we were to bring 10 buyers through all four houses that we’ve seen, there will be a very large proportion of those buyers that will say that this is their favourite bathroom because of the palette, because of the quality and because of their choices that they’ve made,” he said.

Score: 24.5, third place

The wallpaper and gallery wall had Darren enamoured, while Shaynna adored the stuffed toy terrier dogs sitting on the beds.

“I just stand here and I just think this is the most beautiful picture, the equestrian, modern sort of country feel. It’s absolutely gorgeous,” Shaynna said.

However, the other wall with a TV on it was like being in a “really bad motel.”

The second room did not feel like a kid’s room Marty noted, to which Shaynna agreed but said she liked the colour palette.

“The use of colour is divine in both rooms, and I think that’s worth really mentioning for them, because it’s something we’ve asked for and they’re delivered,” she said.

“Besotted” was Darren’s reaction to the design which was heading in the “right direction.”

Shaynna noted once again the vanity was too high but despite that Marty said the space was appropriate for Daylesford.

“The more I’m in here, the more I like it,” he said.

While Shaynna also critiqued some tiling issues, she said the pair’s execution and planning was strong.

The pair took home the $10,000 budget award.

Meet Sonny and Alicia

Together for 14 years and married for ten, Sonny and Alicia made the shortlist for The Block Phillip Island last year but just missed out.

Finding out that they had made the cut for The Block 2025, was an “amazing feeling” Alicia said after being left really upset when they missed out in 2024.

The couple, who have three children – daughter Aria (12), sons Boston (11) and Koa (8), have built their family home and they have some renovation experience under their belts.

 Sonny, 44, small business owner

Working as a plumber for the past 25 years, Sonny is a hard worker who leads a very active lifestyle so he should be up to the task of The Block’s weekly challenges.

During the build process, Sonny will mostly be on site while Alicia tales care of the shopping but they are happy to share the roles.

Alicia, 42, dental practice manager

Set to be this year’s mum of The Block, Alicia is known for being straight forward and prefers to resolve conflict there and then.

Sonny said his wife’s strengths are her people skills, her kindness to others and her loyalty.

Style and experience

The couple have renovated a granny flat at their previous home, and Sonny’s tradie background means he is well-equipped to be on the tools.

“We are by no means epic renovators, but not completely green,” Sonny said.

Their Block style is encompassing colour while drawing inspiration from Daylesford.
