Kirstie Allsopp is on a mission to transform a dilapidated country cottage in Devon into the ultimate “homemade” home, with everything either made in the UK, or made by her. Each week, Kirstie renovates a room, starting today with the room that’s going to be at the heart of it all, the kitchen. For inspiration, Kirstie noses around Lanhydrock House, with one of the finest Victorian kitchens in the country, and gets queen of vintage nostalgia Cath Kidston’s advice on quirky table design. She also visits her parents’ home and reveals the inspiration that has shaped her take on interiors.
