But all is not lost as this follow up will tell you.
Firstly, Melanie, completely happy with Bluewater Village, decided to set her roots there and see where life takes her.
So, with the lump sum that she gained from the Bachelor Challenge, she bought herself an empty plot of land, that was dug out of a rather steep hill!!!
But that didn't phase her at all. She saw it as a challenge in itself.
After careful planning and consulting with the local architect, she finally got the house of her dreams. A two-story, two bedroomed abode with an attached garage and beautiful garden.
It is simply designed, and just big enough for her.... and possibly a 'guest' at some point.
Here you are, this is Melanie's place.
Front entrance, from the Lounge window, the front porch and the Master Bedroom window.
Inside
The lobby is the only room that has warm tones, all the rest is decorated in simple, light, unobtrusive tones.
The Lounge, with it's IKEA influences.
The Kitchen/Dining room combo (currently still under construction, they had trouble with the plumbing for the dishwasher and sink)
The Bathroom.
Master Bedroom, with built in wardrobes.
Second Bedroom also, with built in wardrobes
and a really gorgeous little garden, ideal for BBQ's, growing her own veggies, and general relaxation!!!
We'll keep you posted on Melanie (and everybody else's) progress in the coming months.
