Creating Show-stopping Homes...That don't cost the Earth!

Can we achieve the home renovation of our dreams without it literally costing the earth?

A makeover show with a new sustainable twist, Our host and the teams will be challenged to transform our bland old rooms, furniture and fittings into unique and stunning show stoppers, using only up-cycling and sustainable methods.

This is the home makeover format for the world we live in today, as 2 households per week, each with a team consisting of an interior designer and an up-cycling wiz, have just 3 days and €1,000 to renovate and rejuvenate a tired space in their home, filling them with home-made, re-used and revamped furnishings.

In our buy new culture, many of us shun second hand décor…. and as a result …..mountains of furniture ends up in landfill every year. 

But what if we could show you how to make over your home using only second-hand goods? 

Only one question remains…. Will our homeowners love it? Or Skip it?
