Meet Brad and Mel, with their Renovation Journey.

Married for more than 20 years, Brad and Mel live in Melbourne with their four children: Bennett, 18; Spencer, 16; Maya, 14; and Ginger, 12. Their family is bursting with love, but their home, an untouched “1920s Edwardian old girl”, is bursting at the seams and in desperate need of an upgrade.

The family of six takes up every inch of their three-bedroom Northcote home and shares one bathroom. Brad and Mel’s bedroom is the dining room, and no wall separates them from the constant hive of activity.

They want their home to be a place of love, harmony and laughter, a place where their children are excited and proud to bring friends.

Mel works as a shopping centre delivery manager, while Brad is an accomplished songwriter and musician, gaining fame in the 90s with his band CDB and their many hits, including Let’s Groove.
