Barkers

Episode 3 of 6

Interior designer Kathryn Rayward and antiques expert Mark Hill step in to help Ellen and Dean Barker from Lincolnshire as they renovate their rural family home on a budget.

Series which drags antiques from their pedestals, blows the dust off them and shows how they can be more affordable, stylish and better made than much of what the high street has to offer.

Whether you want to know how to make money from buying investment pieces, how to turn tat into treasure with some clever handiwork, or simply learn how to use antiques to create beautiful interiors that don't blow the bank balance, then this series is for you.

Interior designer Kathryn Rayward and antiques expert Mark Hill step in to help Ellen and Dean Barker from Lincolnshire as they renovate their rural family home on a budget.

The luxurious country chic style they want doesn't come cheap on the high street, but Mark and Kathryn show them how to successfully source and spruce up antiques and vintage furniture, culminating in a truly stunning contemporary country living room to rival those in glossy style magazines.

Also, we show you where to invest in two upcoming areas: Fifties coffee tables and stainless steel metalware. Plus, how to create a bespoke sofa for not very much money with some inspired reupholstering.
