I love this show. Only 2 episodes shown in Australia so far. Taking my husband off to markets tomorrow to find "the" find! Kirstie makes you feel capable of doing anything. I'm digging out the sewing machine and starting on cushions. Well done - please do another series.

I love this programme it makes me feel so inspired to make my own things to go in my house. I think the guides on making things are fantastic and will be trying it myself. Links to places where you can buy the materials is also very useful, if only as a starting point. Well done on a great programme!

Very impressed with last night's programme Kirsty! We all need to become more creative and resourceful in our homes and the feeling of accomplishment is wonderful - I remember from the sixties and seventies! I never know whether tie backs or tassled cords are a good or bad design idea. I do like good qualithy lined curtains hanging properly (and moving gently in the breeze on an open window in fine weather). Any comments?
