Throughout the whole time working on the first 15 episodes of the ground breaking BBC2 show "Your Home Made Perfect", I didn't stop learning. Even after 24 yrs renovating properties, every day there was a situation I hadn't come across before, a new product or material, or a new way of doing something. So for... Continue Reading →
