Carly and Leighton are the winners of Channel Seven's hit renovation show House Rules. Carly and Leighton, winners of House Rules, have talked about getting engaged and starting a family. CARLY and Leighton are set to have their home mortgage paid off in full after winning House Rules tonight. The South Australian couple grabbed victory over South Australia's Steve and Michelle on the Channel 7 renovation show. The winner was decided by a public vote. The pair have talked about getting engaged and starting a family. The result came after the two teams returned to the home of their competitors for a final renovation challenge. The couples had three days to transform one remaining space at their opponent's home into a zone of their choice. Carly and Leighton turned Michelle and Steve's basement into an entertainment hub complete with bar and music area. Michelle and Steve turned Carly and Leighton's games room into a studio complete with a vertical garden. A jubilant Carley and Leighton celebrate their win with family and friends at their home in Adelaide. "Winning means a brand new start," Carly says. It (paying off mortgage) is something we need like every other couple. We can do so much more with our lives knowing our mortgage is taken care of. Leighton added: "Winning will completely change our lives. It'll set us up for life and give us a good quality of life. We love each other very much. We'll be able to have a family. Carly and Leighton recently bought their 1957 sandstone house in Warradale, Adelaide. The home had never been touched before the House Rules teams gave it a complete make-over. Carly, 31, is a flight attendant for Rex Airlines and part-time retail assistant. Leighton, 32, is a carpenter for his family's building company. Leighton made up for Carly's lack of renovation experience. "Unlike me Leighton has done thousands of renovations and is a real work horse, so he had all the skills we needed," Carly says. Early on, Leighton rushed into projects too quickly and had trouble taking instruction from Carly - but the team settled as the series wore on. The pair met when Leighton knocked at Carly's front door, hoping to rent a room. "We are best friends, soulmates and still together two-and-a-half years later," Carly says. Seven has already commissioned a second series of House Rules.
