Hi there!
The last couple of weekends, I’ve woken up to sunshine and it’s given me a weird injection of energy to get stuff done. There’s nothing like sunlight to show up the dirt, so I’ve been running around dusting shutters and lampshades with insideout sports socks on my hands, and clearing away the cobwebs with a broom wrapped in an old pillowcase, spritzed with spray cleaner (tricks I learnt working in hotel housekeeping, years ago!). Inspired by the ‘make-do-and-mend’ attitude of our real homeowners in this issue, I’ve also stopped moaning on about my on-its-last-legs kitchen and got busy resticking and Plasti-koting the loose and chipped gloss vinyl, fixing the loose handles and rehanging the wonky doors. Looks almost as good as new! Turn to page 122 to see projects by other Style at Homers…
