"This is like a wonderland!"

Dylan and Jenny were on cloud nine after finally winning in Room Reveals for their hallway, laundry and mudroom.

But if anything, the win made them hungrier than ever to grab the top spot once again and nab another $10,000 for their budget – something many of the teams have been struggling with.

The couple decided to make their guest bedroom into a fun and family friendly kids' bedroom, with Jenny organising her furniture delivery early so she could "get on the tools" and help Dylan.

"This is my favourite room on The Block so far," Jenny said before judging.

"I'd love my kids to have that room – we don't have any yet, but when we do!"

The pair hoped their choice of décor, statement Grafico wallpaper, as well as their animal theme would impress the judges and land them a win for a second time.

Scroll to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Neale Whitaker and Darren Palmer had to say about Dylan and Jenny's kids' bedroom.

Upon walking into the room, the judges were instantly drawn to how warm and homely the space felt.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!" Neale said as he saw the Grafico wallpaper, bunk beds and large window.

Shaynna had a similar first impression, gushing: "This is like a wonderland!"

Back at Block HQ, Scott Cam told the couple that Shaynna was particularly impressed with the gorgeous animal paintings on the Grafico wallpaper.

"You designed it?" he asked Jenny, to which she nodded.

"It was an artwork, and we added all the animals to it. Quite cute!" she said.

Neale was also impressed with the large window at the front of the room, which looked out onto sprawling views of the Macedon Ranges.

"The way the outlook from that window blends in with that beautiful mural... it's very special," he said.

"It's really sweet," Darren added.

"It's got a really lovely natural palette, I like the timbers, I like the bedding choices – they're really sophisticated, and so is the wallpaper."

Darren also said he loved the attention to detail in the room, including the more colourful additions that children would love.

"Then you've got little things, like a little lion sunflower rug... it's very childlike and really appropriate," he said.

Neale described the room as a "little special world for children".

Shaynna then went over to the bed, and noticed these yellow bulb lights which ran across the lower part of the top bunk.

"Have a look at this," she gushed. "It's on a battery pack, so they can just turn on and off there – and they're plastic!"

Dylan and Jenny stuck with the animal theme throughout the room, and placed this tiny light-up rabbit on the side of the bed to match with the others. Cute!

Shaynna was utterly obsessed with this gold rabbit lamp, which lived on the bedside cabinet next to the bunk beds.

"Oh my God, look at the lamp over there! It's a bunny, wearing the shade as a dress," she beamed.

"...So you can just lean over and turn that on and off... I love! This is heaven."

Beside the bunk beds and the door, Dylan and Jenny decided on fitted wardrobes to provide ample storage for the children.

They painted them white and added gold handles to blend in with the light and airy feel of the space.

Inside was plenty of room for clothes, toys and everything in-between.

"We've got the drawers, we've got hanging... lots of hanging!" Shaynna pointed out.

Looking in the left cabinet, she added: "We even have a mirror! Look at that. Perfect."

Dylan and Jenny love to add small details to any room to really make a house feel like a home.

In the wardrobe, they placed a tiny winter jacket – perfectly suited for the Macedon Ranges – as well as jumpers, socks, and a wooly hat. Cosy!

The judges were quick to coo over the tiny little outfits that lay on the shelves.

"Little Timberlands!" Darren said, while Shaynna picked them up and held them in her hand.

"Again, I'm feeling the love in this room," Neale said. "It feels authentic, it feels genuine."

Dylan and Jenny were smart to add shelves inside the wardrobe, making it the perfect space to fill with toys, games, and colouring equipment.

Shaynna described the shelving as "wonderful".

The couple had chosen a range of different materials for their bedding – something that Darren praised heavily.

"This is a really sophisticated palette on the bed," he said.

"That's linen and cotton, you've got corduroy, you've got open-weave knit..."

Neale said that any child was going to walk into the room and immediately think, "I pick this house!"

"It's not just any kid though... it's any adult that's looking to buy," Darren replied.

Bunnies are clearly a main focus in the couple's room, and they even found an adorable grey and white duo to sit on the top bunk. Lovely!

The couple ensured that any child would be excited to walk into the space with the addition of little toys, placed... everywhere.

They put an array of musical instruments on a bunny rug to sit in the corner of the room – all in a neutral pine colour to fit in with the space's theme. Fabulous!

They also managed to find a sweet wicker rocking chair, which sat beside the window and the hanging chair.

The duo added wooden desk with an abundance of colouring and painting materials, perfect for children to get creative.

"It definitely sells the family, luxury, country dream," Darren said.

Dylan and Jenny opted for a gorgeous wicker cage-like lamp shade for their room, ensuring the light wasn't too harsh on the delicate styling.

The artwork the couple chose was an eye-catching floral piece, with flashes of pinks, blues and yellows to really add a pop of colour to the space.

They also opted for a child-size coat rack – which Shaynna loved.

She even grabbed a little teddy bear hat off the rack and placed it on her head and giggled: "I want to be old enough to wear a hat like this!"

Back at Block HQ, Scotty told the couple that the judges had said: "It's hard to make a kids' room feel like it reflects the aesthetic of the rest of your house, but you have nailed that this week.

"This room, when photographed, will look just like House 4 on the brochure.

"It's a gentle room, right down to the cute baby fox on the Grafico wallpaper."
