Michel Smith Boyd & Anthony Elle Won ‘Rock the Block’ After Fears Their Design Was Too Specific

Boyd and Elle have a longstanding work relationship, having teamed up for many projects on their own show “Luxe for Less” before competing on (and winning) the fourth season of “Rock the Block”. Boyd and Elle’s theme for their home’s design was “Mountain Modern”, and included some elements that would befit a bachelor pad (including a urinal in the main suite bathroom).

While their choice of amenities like the urinal helped them win the main suite face-off and take the title at the end of the season, they also led to some backlash for the design duo, who received multiple critiques from the guest judges during weeks one (Dave and Jenny Marrs from “Fixer to Fabulous”) and two (Mina Starsiak Hawk from “Good Bones” and Jenn Todryk from “No Demo Reno”) that their design was “too specific”. The fear was that in a competition to raise the value of their home that Boyd and Elle were limiting their potential buyer pool with a less family-friendly design than some of their competitors.

Despite their potentially limited buyer pool, Boyd and Elle were able to add value to their home in other places, including extending the front deck to wrap around the main suite and adding a Murphy bed and en suite bathroom to their final spaces which helped them edge out competitors Bryan and Sarah Baeumler (from “Renovation Island”), Page Turner and Mitch Glew (from “Fix My Flip”), and Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin (from “Farmhouse Fixer”).
