This week Kirstie turns her attention to Meadow Gate's bedrooms
Kirstie Allsopp is transforming her dilapidated country cottage in Devon into a beautiful homemade home. She's rampaging through reclamation yards in search of beautiful bargain furniture to restore; hunting for the best handmade craft and design in Britain; and learning how to create unique and exclusive pieces of her own.
This week it's the turn of the five bedrooms. For inspiration, Kirstie heads to the Cotswolds to visit fabric and wallpaper designer Vanessa Arbuthnott's home; a flat in Hove, East Sussex, which the owners refurbished using recycled and restored furniture; and the opulent bedrooms of the Maunsel House, where she reveals how even the grandest houses aren't too proud to shop secondhand.
Kirstie is passionate about our tradition of great British craftspeople, and this week she gets back to basics with three highly skilled craftspeople as she unravels the mystery of spinning sheep's wool into yarn. She also gets to breathe new life into a chair that's nearly 200 years old when she learns to reupholster. Finally, Kirstie indulges her passion for textiles as she's taught how to design her very own patchwork quilt.
