DIY DECORATION

Fancy getting creative with old fence palings, timber offcuts and strips of mirror glass? Well, take design cues from Noel and turn a blank chimneybreast into a work of art with decorative panels. “There were always plenty of offcuts on the building site, so I made these out of those and also odd bits of timber I like to collect,” he says. The result is a little bit rustic, unique and utterly reflective of the personality of both the home’s owners.
