The Block’s Josh and Jenna Densten transform an abandoned farmhouse into a delightful country retreat
They were fan favorites in the fourth and sixth seasons of The Block.
And Josh and Jenna Densten are still thriving in the home renovation business years after they rose to fame on the Channel Nine series.
The couple recently transformed an abandoned farmhouse in rural Victoria into a delightful country retreat.
In Rutherglen, 180 miles from Melbourne, Josh and Jenna have spent the last 18 months painstakingly restoring the classic stone home.
The new photos, released on The Block’s official website, show one of the bedrooms the couple have set up for their two children, Fred and Story.

Among the many challenges Josh and Jenna faced on this part of the project was installing a new roof.
Her plans to create a “quirky space” for her children included preserving the vintage features of the original home, which was built in the 1880s.
The “before” picture of the bedroom shows a weathered brick fireplace, a small window and no floor.
The after picture shows the bedroom that has been completely redone from top to bottom.

Decorated in pastel pink, the girls’ bedroom is a cozy space with an ornate fireplace, two sets of bunk beds, a work desk, and soft cream curtains.
The couple, who have bought and restored a number of homes since appearing on The Block in 2011, told the publication that no one lived on the site for nearly a decade prior to the purchase.
Plans for the home’s renovation included a party room for her two daughters, as well as a vineyard.

Before purchasing the Rutherglen estate, the Denstens sold their “eternal home” in North Melbourne in 2021.
Josh and Jenna rose to fame in 2011 on the fourth season of The Block.
They later returned for The Block: All Stars in 2013 before appearing in the first season of Nine’s Reno Rumble in 2015.
Interior designer Jenna and her plumber husband Josh have appeared on the channel and have renovated ten homes together since they first appeared on the hit reality show.
