Kirstie Allsopp is seeking to transform a dilapidated country cottage in Devon into the ultimate 'homemade' home, with everything either made in the UK, or made by her own fair hands. She wants to prove that it's possible to get hold of the good stuff without having to import cheap products from overseas. Each week, Kirstie renovates a room and creates a unique and personal dream interior.

This week she's renovating three bathrooms: a downstairs loo, a family shower room with a seaside theme, and a luxury movie-star-style main bathroom suite.
For inspiration she gets a rare peek into the beautiful home of top interior designer Anouska Hempel. She also visits Burgh Island Hotel, one of Britain's finest art deco buildings, renowned for its glamorous 1930s bathrooms. Plus she looks round a flat in Knightsbridge where small really can be beautiful and everything is not always as it seems.
Kirstie is also on the make as she attempts some traditional home crafts. With the help of a royal candle maker she learns how to make scented candles. Alongside a master craftswoman she learns the art of stained glass, designing and producing her own leaded light catcher. She also attempts some screen printing as she prints some dramatic images onto handmade wallpaper to hang in her downstairs loo.
Finally she's dishing out savvy tips for antiques shops to help us all bag ourselves a great British bargain.
