COME ON IN...
WE ARE Diandra Gardner (on Instagram @homeandaway_dg), 28, a scientific research consultant, and my husband Samuel, 29, a music tour manager.
OUR HOME IS a 1930s, three-bedroom, semi-detached property in Southend-On-Sea.
MY BEST BARGAIN was my grey sofa, which I picked up for £10.
SHOPS I LOVE ARE Dunelm, Homesense, The Range, and when I visit the USA I make a stop at Home Goods.
I LEARNED THAT If something goes wrong you can always fix it if you don’t like it – you can repaint walls, move shelving and rehang art. There are always ways to change things if you don’t like how it turned out.
