“My parents were having a clear out when
they gave me a gorgeous vintage tea set
that belonged to my grandmother. After
spending hours on Pinterest looking for
inspiration, i p icked up some small houseplants
from my local garden centre and planted them
in the teacups to place on my new Sainsbury’s
home shelves. i’m so glad i’v e been able
to give my heirloom a new lease of life.”
Nikki Knight via emailYour Home saysWe love your new
shelves, nik ki! the upcycled tea set is a
fab way to repurpose your sentimental
items. Congratulations on a great make.Off the

“After adding
a conservatory
to our kitchen,
we blocked up
our original
back door.
i w anted to
leave the top
half as an
alcove, so we
used some
leftover worktop and brackets from eBay to
create some shelves. i t hen styled them with
my favourite collection of charity shop and
auction buys, alongside chopping boards and
faux plants. i h ope you like it!”
Julie Steptoe via emailYour Home saysWhat a fab idea, Julie!
you’ve made a great little storage space
and we love your old-fashioned scales.
Congratulations from the whole team.A room of one’s own
“i’ve always
dreamt of owning
a breakfast bar,
and with a bit of
space to fill in the
kitchen i t hought
i’d take the
opportunity to make one. tha t very same day i
picked up a cheap second-hand pine sideboard.
We sanded and stained some building timber
for the worktop, changed the handles, removed
one of the doors, painted the unit and a pair of
stools to match. i a m so happy with the result!”
Natacha Chohra via emailYour Home saysthi s breakfast bar is a
complete triumph, nat acha. the dark teal
colour matched with the light wood is so
on trend – we’re very jealous!Tweet us your pictures and

by Broste cop enhagen.“two years into my home renovations, i m et
the most wonderful man. to begin with, Barry
was a complete DiY novice, but after reading
your February issue, Barry made my dreams
come true by turning the spare bedroom into
an office. We went to B&Q and purchased a
worktop for the desk, and the football shirt
is one Barry was presented with some years
ago. i j ust want you to know that Your Home
really does inspire others to have a go!”
