Six years ago,
Angel and I fell in love

with a derelict 45-room chateau.

This is truly beautiful.

And since then we've spent
every spare moment

bringing it back to life.

This is beyond better
than what I'd imagined.

LAUGHTER

CHEERING

We've both learnt
so much over that time.

Now, we want to use
Angel's creativity...

See the vision?

...and Dick's ingenuity...

That is the basis of a bed.

...to solve your design
and DIY dilemmas.

We really, really need your help
with the sash window

on our first floor landing.

From crafty conundrums...

I want to massage it in

because it creates that
lovely fluffiness again.

...to entire room renovations...

...we're sharing our
tips and tricks with you...

That is ridiculously solid.

Surprised you?
Yeah. Surprised me, too.

...to get the most out of the
things you already have...

Oh. Beautiful!

SHE GASPS

Oh, my God.

...and to prove with
just enough encouragement...

Honestly, I've a little tear.

We did it, we created a fabric!

It's a thing of beauty.
I love it, completely love it.

"Together,
we can all make do and mend.

DOG BARKS

As a family we're all about
doing things ourselves.

Go on helpers, one side each.

And today we're taking on
a very special project.

Oh, look at this dog!

Look, dog, look. See, this is what
it looks like to be all groomed.

The newest member of our family,
Petale, is due a haircut.

Oh, Petale.

All we're doing is taking out
some of the tatties

so Mummy can cut
the rest of her hair off.

Cos Mummy's going
to pollard the dog.

SHE LAUGHS

Pollard the Petale,
that's hilarious.

There's a good girl.

You're mine, you're up.

SHAVER HUMS
All right. Good luck.

I'm going... I'm going to just...
Oh, there's a good girl.

Arthur, when I first cut your hair,
when you was about 11/2...

You were this wriggly.

Even though I spend my life

trying to keep Dick and the kids'
hair in check,

Petale comes with
her own unique requirements.

I don't know if we're cut out
for this job, babe.

What do you think, dog grooming?
No.

What do you think? She looks cute!

Your face is looking good, dog,
you're done there.

Come on, pups. Come on,
I've got her, are you ready?

Ready, freedom!

Oh, no, don't eat your hair,
stop it, stop it!

Quickly! No, don't give
her a bucket of hair!

Now Petale is groomed
to pooch perfection,

it's time to find out how we
can help YOU with your projects...

...and we can't wait to get started.

Hello, gorgeous. Here you go, baby.
Thank you. Here we go.

No, come here.

Well, nearly.

It's that bit there.

No, that's it, it's done,
it doesn't get any better.

It does get better.

Right, OK, come on,
what have we got to start with?

Jo and family.
Jo and family.

Hi, Dick and Angel, I'm Jo.

My project is something really,
really important to me,

and I would love some help
from you both.

I was in the loft and I found
the most extraordinary set

of vintage photographs
of my ancestors,

some of them dating back
over a hundred years.

Wow. And the amazing thing
about them

is that many of them were
actually actors,

and so we have some professional
shots of them in costume.

So, this is my great,
great, great grandmother.

That is a very special picture.

And this is my very,
very dear old nan,

who we lost a few years ago.

And I think she would be
absolutely delighted to know

that I was doing something
with these photos.

These are the sort of pictures

that I have looked at over
the decades and been inspired by.

Now, the story doesn't
quite end there

because we've actually
also got the family piano

that has been in our
family for well over 100 years,

and I'm now the sort of
custodian of this piano.

We also have a lovely photo
of my great grandmother

actually playing the piano
that we now have,

when she was a little girl.

This is going to be a real family
project for us.

As soon as my husband and
my children saw the photographs

they wanted to make this
something for us all to do together.

We just need some help in exactly
what it is we're gonna do.

So, this is my husband, AL

THEY LAUGH
And this is my daughter, Lottie.

How theatrical is that?
And this is my son, Dylan.

And what do we say?

ALL: Please help us Dick and Angel.

Oh, this is me,
cos it excites me.

And if you need a hand
building anything I'm here.

Yeah, thank you. I might do,
because I am thinking of a theatre,

but I'm also thinking about how...

I don't need to know,

I'm going to get headache thinking
about where you're going with this,

I can see a full production.

Since moving to the chateau,

I've loved creating unusual
and unexpected designs.

From the circus playroom...

...to the butterfly staircase.

Now, I'd like to help Jo
set the stage

to achieve something equally
memorable with her project,

so I've come to the turret
library for a chat.

Hello.
ALL: Hello!

Aaw, lovely seeing you all.
I have looked over, sort of,

you know, these glamour maidens
so much.

And this is my beautiful nan.

Some people don't understand
my eyebrows, but actually,

when you look back to your nan,

you'll understand
what my inspiration is.

Yes! Sorry guys, I know
it's not what you thought

we'd be talking about, eyebrows.

Now, I'm notjust picturing
a wall of photographs.

I can see a pattern that
we could create maybe a wallpaper,

or some fabric,
and it would be so unique

to you and your family.

Oh, my word! This one piano
has been owned

by every single person
in the photos.

So, the baton's
now been handed to me

to preserve this amazing history.

You're going to take the baton

and get all of the relevant
photographs scanned.

Then we can put that into
a design that you like.

This is just amazing. Thank you
so much. You're welcome.

Take care of yourselves,
we'll speak to you very, very soon.

ALL: Bye!

What do you think of this project?

I love it, The fact
that it's the whole family,

it's going to be really, really
nice doing it with them.

As soon as Jo and family
come back to me

with all their scanned photos,

we'll get creating
something truly magical.

That's Angel in her happy place,
now time for mine.

HE WHISTLES
Come on, pups. Come on.

Over the next few weeks we're
also going to be doing

our own projects here
at the chateau,

and I'm embarking on my passion
project in the walled garden.

The garden not looking
too bad at all.

And while I'm passionate
about the produce we grow...

WQW!

...there's one aspect I'm not
so keen on, nasty pesticides.

So, I'm looking at ways to preserve
our veg using nature.

We plant carrots between leeks,

because carrot flies
don't like the smell of onion.

All in all, we're using nature to
help us, as opposed to fight it.

And that's why we're thinking,

let's bring nature into the walled
garden instead ofjust cultivation.

We need a pond.

By creating a pond,
I want to attract

a variety of natural predators
like frogs, toads and dragonflies

who will give our veg munching
pests their marching orders.

This is a good place for it.

Are you happy, darlinEl?
I'm really happy.

I'm going to grab the tractor,

and I'm literally going
to start scraping.

COCK CROWS
Go and lay an egg, you lot.

I'm going to get my tractor.

SHE LAUGHS
That is so tight!

Not much room for space there!
There is not much room!

SHE LAUGHS

That's better.

I am now going to
start making a hole here.

For the pond, I want a mixture
of environments.

Deep bits so friendly beasties
can survive the winter,

but lots of edges for plant life.

A good old-fashioned
oval should do it.

It's a really, really lovely shape.

I actually sort of saw it
as being like an oval.

It feels like it hugs this
part of the garden. Right, OK.

It's nice. So, a little bit more and
keep it as a kidney shape. Yeah.

Is that you agreeing with me,
seriously? Yeah.

I was always going
to do that anyway.

I made that up.

HE LAUGHS

As my pond is somewhat bigger
than a paddling pool,

I'll be doing it in stages,

so I'll be returning to my now
kidney-shaped pond later.

But first,
we're back in the dining room

and raring to go
with another request.

Who've we got now?
Right, now.

Hello!
My name is Erik.

OK, what were you gonna say?
I love their kitchen!

Kate and Erik, coolest kitchen ever.

Oh, wow.

We feel your pain.

Wow! That is an original feature

that I would have
bought that house for.

We were hoping that Dick could
actually help us

with the actual sash mechanism,
that's become threadbare.

Oh, that's quite threadbare.

That's the sash cord,
and that can be redone.

Sash windows, everyone thinks

you would be struggling to get
them up and down.

A well-engineered sash window,

you should be able to move
with your finger.

It's the balance of the weights

and everything else,
that's going to be fun.

It would.

OK. It is big enough to create
something quite special, definitely.

And the sash window,
darling, that's, that's...

That'll be me. That is totally you.
OK, happy with that.

Right. All doable. All doable.

And also, it did make me think
of a lot of our windows.

I know, I've still got lots
of windows to do, I know.

It's on my list, where's my list?

It's hanging up from the top
of the chateau.

I still have my list.

Finishes in the kitchen!
SHE LAUGHS

Even on the sunniest, most
peaceful days at the chateau...

...there's always a job to do.

But no matter what, we've always
got time for your projects.

We're firing up the laptop to meet
Kate and Erik, who have asked for

help renovating their
stunning sash window

on the first floor of
their family home,

where they also want to create
an unexpected living space.

And with such a stylish couple,
I'm not leaving anything to chance.

Oh, there I am. This is as far
as I go for getting ready.

Hello!
How are you?

I like your kitchen,
who's the cook? Right.

Are you the man whose
designed it then, Erik?

Come and say hello to
my girl for a second.

Come on, say hello, say hello.

Hello!
Oh, it's lovely to see you.

I am going to be around,
and we're going to be doing

some work together as well,

but you've got to get it working,
so this is your man.

Anyway, speak to you later.
Take care.

OK, see you in a bit. Bye!

Have you ever done up a sash window?
No.

It's actually really,
really satisfying.

When you fix a sash window,
you know the little hooks

that are on the bottom of it,

you should be able
to put your fingers in

and make it go up and down
like this.

That's the way a sash window
should work.

Sash windows work using a cord
which runs through a pulley.

Hidden in a pocket at the side
of the window, each cord is attached

to a sausage-shaped weight
which is perfectly balanced.

When the window is pushed up, the
weights come down, and vice versa.

On your window see if you can
see all the components.

Are the pulleys in good condition?

What bits of wood are in good
condition,

what are not in good condition?

You want to get in there, be a
little bit brutal with a screwdriver

and see what is soft and
what is good.

I will then take you through
the principles

of getting to the weights.

It's super exciting.

And what's more, doing it yourself
makes it really quite special.

It does, yeah.

When you use your fingers
and open up your window,

do you know
what's going to happen?

You're going to smile.

Go and find out how your window
works, see ya! Bye, bye, bye!

We're not shy of a window
here at the chateau,

in fact we have 58 in total.

Don't even start me
on the cleaning.

But would you believe
not one of them has a sash?

Right, wife. Are you ready?
Yeah, I'm ready, I'm filming.

So, in order to show
Kate and Erik the ropes,

or rather how to find them,
we've had to build one.

And Angel is filming this little
how-to guide just for them.

Here we go, important bits,
the window,

this window is held in place

by beading behind
and beading in front.

OK, that's beading, which is
just rails

that the windows
just go up and down. OK?

When you open the window,
this is how it should be.

You usually have here inside the
frame something called a pocket,

and that would just be a piece of
press-fit wood

that goes into the side so

it can be pulled out if you have
to do anything with your weights.

Having stripped the paint off, I
need them to take off their beading.

We need to get something in here
to get it moved. See, see?

And the worst thing is
because this has just been made

the beading is quite well attached.

Faint heart never won fair
maiden, when it comes to this.

Beading off...
Look, this is a window.

What we're going to do is,

cos we don't want these things
to drop down,

we're gonna take these and
we're gonna just cut them off.

Just put the big knot in first.

So, there we've got a window.
We've got our bits of beading.

These will have to be replaced
with fresh,

and by the time they've got
to that, inside the pocket,

off comes the weights,
it all falls out,

and you've just got a table that
looks a bit like this,

full of all the detritus that
once was a beautiful window.

How do you know all of this?

Trial and error, and having done
it badly a lot of times.

SHE LAUGHS

A few days ago,
I gave Jo and family the task

of selecting some of their
theatrical family photographs

with a view to making a very
special repeat,

or if you want the techy term,
tessellated pattern.

First, they had to gather
all their favourite pictures,

then photograph and scan
them into the computer,

before finally making a start
on their design.

This is where we've got to
so far with the mock-up,

which we are going
to play around with

to see whether
we need to rearrange them,

some bigger than others.

The family have put together a
basic design for their pattern,

but the trick is to
make it repeatable.

Tessellated patterns are
one of my favourite things.

Their purpose is to eliminate gaps
and hard lines from the pattern,

and I've used them throughout the
chateau in fabrics and wallpaper.

What I want to showjo
is actually repeating a square

or any shape is fine,
but when you stand back

you're always going to see
whatever shape it is,

and I want to show her
how to blur the lines,

cos, you know, it's really
simple, but it's quite clever.

Now, I've got I've
got loads of photos.

Mr Strawbridge,
always down memory lane,

lots of lovely photographs here.

And the best way to explain
is to create a pattern

using our family photos, which
I've already copied and printed.

I'm just going to mask up the table

so I just know I've got an
exact shape, so...

I think first of all I'm just
going to put loads of photographs

around the place, I think
that is what Jo and the family

have already done so far.

That's Arthur in a suitcase,
look how gorgeous he is.

That's when we found the chateau.
Oh, our wedding.

Look at that gorgeous lady,
how lucky am I?

SHE CHUCKLES

What I'm going to do
now I've got the main part

of my rectangle in place,

I'm going to start cutting
up the photographs downwards,

down the sides and across ways
for the top and the bottom.

So, to blur this line, my left hand
part of the photograph

on this side, and then this part,
is going to go over here.

I think this one is really clear,

because it's me and Arthur,

and you'll really understand
the principal of it.

Part of that picture is
now going to go all the way up.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

...to wherever you meet your
top line. Yeah, there we go.

And when you join two together
we get a whole bit of Arthur.

By placing the two halves
of me and Arthur

on opposite ends of my template,

and repeating that process
down the other edges,

I'll achieve my
seamless repeat pattern.

This is pretty much there,

I am going to have to
recreate this digitally

because I want to
make sure I've got the lines,

but come take a picture of it
so I know what I'm doing.

To remember it. Yeah, to remember
it. So, it looks like this.

That's a lot of the history of
the chateau in that pattern.

So simple, as well, to do.

And the options are endless,
from wallpaper to fabric,

cushion covers to curtains,
the only limit is your imagination.

We're catching up
with Kate and Erik

to see how they've been getting on
renovating their sash window.

Aaw!
SHE LAUGHS

That is such a statement window.

SHE LAUGHS

Comes off easy, isn't it?

And...

Here we go. Right.

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah.

So, we've removed the beading
and the window from this side,

and we can only find one,

so, I don't know if it's
just meant to be like that,

if it's just one on the right-hand
side, and two on the left-hand side,

or if one's gone missing.

I don't quite understand the
mechanism they've got there,

I think we need to give
them a call.

Sash windows work using weights
that are perfectly balanced,

so, I suspect there must be a fourth
weight hiding in there somewhere.

Time for some exploration.

So, go up to there
and try pulling it,

go up and pull it to the left,
let me see. Does it move?

It's moving, and it's really heavy.

So, there is something
attached to this rope.

Get back in that pocket with
a torch and a little mirror.

What are you doing?
You're just teasing me, you are!

I've got it now.
There it is. Oh.

There's a weight here, as well.

The missing one, it's found.
OK, good.

That is one of the original
beauties of this thing.

They are made of lead, aren't they?

No, not necessarily,
most of them are cast iron.

Is it not all rusty and horrible?

No, no, no, the way you're
holding that, that's not lead,

you're going to reuse those again,
without a shadow of doubt,

you could put a rust cure on it,
you can make it very pretty.

But nobody's going to see that
for the next 200 years.

It doesn't matter.
It's like wearing nice...

Underwear. ..underwear!

THEY LAUGH

Do you know what I would do?
Let me just speak for a minute!

I would, with a little brush
and some gold,

I would then write names,
your children's names, the date,

I would just put something
really nice on it,

and put it behind the pocket,
knowing it's there.

Listen, take care you two,
lovely to speak to you.

Take ca re.

5Y9. bye.
5Y9. bye.

I've got work on my bye.

I think I've lost my wave.

SHE LAUGHS

Actually, that does sound
kind of cool.

Jo and family are perfecting
their repeat pattern,

which will be printed onto fabric.

And luckily Dad's a whizz
on the computer.

So, it's just trying size and scale
and move things around

so that they all fit.

So, yeah, sorry, son,

I'm going to have to
give you a bit of a squish.

I'm back outside
with my best workers

for the next step of my pond project
to lay the liner.

Can I help?
OK, yeah.

SHE SCREAMS
HE LAUGHS

What could possibly be difficult
about building a pond

with a six and an eight-year-old
in the mud?

UP, "P, "P, UP, up, up, up, good.

Hey, hey, hey, team, I think we
need to push this in a little bit,

and to do that, Arthur,
can you sit?

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Just slide down there, I just want
to see if there are any big bubbles.

You come over here too, Dorothy.

Slide down, slide down.

Oh, gosh, this is fantastic.

Push it down gently,
slide around on your bums,

I'm just making sure there's
no big air gaps under there.

I think we're nearly ready

to go and get on
with trying to harvest some rain.

I think you may have to do that
solo. Yeah, I might have to.

I'm going to make you a cup of tea.
Yeah, right.

With weeks of work still left
to go on Dick's project,

Jo and family are nearing
the end of theirs,

and I can't wait to see the results.

So, we have received our fabric.

Look at that!

So, here is our fabric
all printed out.

I actually can't see now which ones
we cut in half even.

All the edges feel all blurred
and it looks fantastic.

Yay! We did it!
We created a fabric!

I really didn't think
we would be doing this

when I found those photos
in the attic.

It's just amazing.
Wow! How special is that?

Hey! How are youse?

Really good.
We've moved to the piano.

Of course, I would expect you
to be nowhere else.

Are we ready 9W5?

Three, two, one... Go!

Oh, wow!
They look amazing!

You know, it's not just a design,

I think this is what is just so
beautiful about this project,

is the fact that every single
person has played on that piano.

So, uh, I'm well chuffed to see
how you've enjoyed it,

and how brilliant you've
been at it as well.

It has been wonderful, and you know,

I'm spending so much more
time now in this room,

you know, with all these things,
and, yeah, playing the piano again.

And with plenty of fabric left over,

Jo and family have even been able
to make some cushions

to create a totally unique room.

I feel like there's going to be

other designs,
tessellations happening.

SHE LAUGHS

Take care, so lovely.

Bye, mwa h, mwah.

I don't want to go!
Bye! You hang up first!

SHE LAUGHS

DOG BARKS

Inspired byjo and her family's
incredible vintage photographs,

I've got a plan
for our piano stool too.

We're going to cover this today.

Little piano seat.

Complete with a repeat pattern
of all our photos.

It's a picture of all of us!

That is absolutely stunning.

Right, I am not a million miles off.

Are you ready?
Put it down, and watch this.

Here we go, look at that!

Arthur, put it on. Wow!

It's quite special.

Does the stool with our faces on it

make your bum more comfy
so you play better?

Does it make YOU play better?
Here we go.

DISCORDANT NOTES

THEY LAUGH

HE BABBLES

THEY LAUGH

It's all go at the chateau.

And now I'm looking
to channel nature

to make my eco-friendly pond
in the walled garden.

My pond liner is down and now
I need to fill it with rainwater.

And I want this in here.

This bit here goes up here
like that.

Right, on there.
Oh, it just fits and no more.

Chickens don't like snakes,
and they don't like hoses.

While we wait for rain,

we're back in the dining room
for another request.

Susanna and Luke.

BOTH: Hi, Dick and Angel.

My name is Luke.

And I do not.

SHE LAUGHS
Oh, Luke.

He got exactly the same head rub
as you when you're feeling, "Oh..."

Oh, that's so charming.

I reckon Luke's just doing
that thing that thing you do

where you pretend you
don't like something.

Right, OK.
We have an Imelda Marcos here.

I can completely understand
obsession with shoes,

I have bought vintage shoes
from the 1940s that don't fit me

and I've got them in my dressior
because I love them so much.

Just need as much advice as
possible for it, please.

I think this is a challenge for me.

I mean, it's a challenge,

but I also think that you're
going to want to have a big say.

You're sitting looking at the shoes.

I'm looking at the problem,
not the shoes.

You just work out the problem,

I'm going to look at the shoes,
they are really nice, I'd wear them.

Modernising the vintage wardrobe
to showcase Susanna's shoes

is going to require an
ingenious storage solution,

so, I'm catching up with
Susanna and Luke in our kitchen.

Oh, hello.

Hiya!

Listen, lovely to meet you.

And it's good,
you're in front of your wardrobe.

We are, yes. How old is it?

OK, that's making it 100 years old.
But the thing is, it's quality.

It's something that's going to
stay and exist for a very long time.

We have to protect that.

Sorry, Luke, fact of life, matey,
get over it.

I know, I know my dream
of firewood is over.

Now, what we have to do
is we have to make it

so it really is useful for you.

Now, have you guessed
where I am, by the way?

Oh, Susanna's getting
her glasses on!

I'm in the service kitchen.

And the reason why I'm
in the service kitchen

is because we have lots of storage
solutions in the kitchen,

and if I do this, which, look,
see the slidey in and out things

coming in and out there? See?
Yes.

If you come across to the corner,
you see there turning-roundy things.

All of these things
have been designed

by bigger brains than mine, and
they've actually just found ways

of getting the most
out of the storage.

Now, how many pairs have
you got in there at the moment,

just to make sure
we're talking the same?

30, OK. What I want
is an accurate drawing

of the floor of the wardrobe,
and I also need the height,

and I need to come up
with an answer for you

that is going to allow you to
sort of make the most of that space,

and I think there will be
spare space afterwards

which means you're not limited
to 30 pairs of shoes forever.

THEY LAUGH

See you.
Bye, bye, bye.

I'm loving this project,
this is right up my street.

There's quite a lot
of shoes there.

I think 30 is pretty acceptable
actually.

HE LAUGHS

As soon as Suzanna and Luke get back
to me with the information I need,

I can make a start turning
Granny's wardrobe

into a Shangri La for shoes.

Kate and Erik asked Dick for help
renovating their sash window.

Since then, following Dick's advice,

they've been hard at work
stripping and sanding.

Fixing sash windows is a skilled
job, but with the right knowledge

it could save Kate and Erik
thousands of pounds.

I think a lot of people
would think, rip all out.

Get a man to come and
give you double glazing.

That's the easy answer. But look
what look what they're saving.

Oh, yeah. Oh!

Wow.

Yeah, I love it.

Yeah.

Oh, gosh, that's just...
You just love that, don't you?

I just love it. Yeah.

That, that'll be there,
the last time those were out

could have been a hundred years.
I know.

Oh, that's just lovely. I love it.

They've put so much
prep work into this now,

I want to make that place
work for them and to be comfortable.

I take it you've got a cunning plan?

Yeah, I've always
got a cunning plan.

To furnish their landing Kate has
bought two Bentwood rocking chairs,

and that's reminded me
of my own rocking chair

that I used to nurse
Arthur and Dorothy,

and it's somewhere up in the attic.

# Dun-dun-dun-dun! #

It is lovely but I want to
make it a bit more cosy.

Comfortable. Comfortable, yeah.

Do you want a hand carrying that?
Yes, please, it's quite heavy.

It's a solid old piece.

To upgrade Kate's chairs,
I'm going to show her

how to make a cushion cover
based on an antimacassar.

An antimacassar is something
that goes on the back

of the sofa or a chair,
to stop the sofa getting dirty.

But actually, what we're going
to do is be inspired by that,

and actually just create a lovely
'umptious cushion

just to make it really comfortable.

A comfy cassar. Comfy cassar.
OK, let me lay this down.

This is just wallpaper
that I'm never going to use.

You're going to draw round that,
aren't you? I can feel it.

I am going to draw around this.

So that's going to be my back.

Time to cut.

Right, this is a bit of a binding.

You can buy it already made up,

but this is just a homemade one
with a bit of your garden twine.

HE GASPS
That's where it went to!

Right, I'm just going
to whizz this round now.

I'm using an off-cut,

but Kate can use any material
she likes, even old curtains.

Here we are.
So, we have the start of this.

Ooh! I can see what is.

So, now I'm gonna put my quilting
bits in, get myself stuffing.

How are you going to stop the
stuffing escaping, wife?

I have got to sew it,
and then put the back on as well.

Right, let's just see.
Turning it.

# Dun, dun, dun! #

Hold on.

Was that made on purpose,
ladies and gentlemen?

Oh, isn't that comfy?
Up you get, get off it.

Let me film you, let me film you.

That looks like a
really comfy macassar.

I'll check in later with Kate
to see how she gets on

making her own comfy macassar,

but now it's time for Dick to
get an update from Luke and Susanna.

So, Dick has asked me to
do some measurements.

Wow, that's a drawing. Right.

Good plans, good measurements, all
right, all the information I need.

The challenge is giving Susanna
access to all of those easily.

OK, I think I need to get myself
a bit of a template done.

Right, my immediate thought
process is let's have shelves

that can come outside
to view the shoe, yeah?

I like that.
And go back in, shut the door.

Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum,
dum, dum... Stacked up. Yeah.

Now, I started looking around

all the bits of plumbing
and pipes I had.

Show you this, put it on it,
here we go.

Just to stop everything moving,
so I need two screws.

If I was to put a piece of
pipe on there...

...this gives me a way
of stacking things.

Once you've got one done,
that's a template, isn't it?

Darling, hahaha! She's with me.

Look at this, watch,

put this here, happily in, now see.

That works.

This bit here is going to limit
how far out it comes,

to there, and then it goes back in
to there, and it sits there.

And by the way, the separators
can make as many as shelves

as he wants to put in there, OK?
It's great.

Honestly, I think it's
going to be game changing.

Great, and now you've
got a pole in your workshop.

I'm just looking for a dancer.

Kate and Erik have really worked
hard renovating their sash window,

but this project was also about
creating a family space,

and I've got some ideas.

I've kind of been trying
to get a vision

of what it's going to look like,
so let me send you this now,

because it would be really
nice to know, sort of, you know,

if there is anything else
we can help you with.

So, guys, I'm going to send
this over to you now.

There it is.

SHE GASPS
Wow.

Wow.

I have just tried to stick with
what I know you like,

and just put all the bits together.

That's crazy.

And the Martini glasses as well.

That looks amazing, Angel.
Absolutely stunning.

That is very, very sweet
of you to say, Kate.

And have you got a Martini glass?

No, we need to source that!

Things are really coming together
for Susanna's old wardrobe

and it's great to see Luke
putting the plan into action.

Beautiful.

Huzzah.

Plenty of room for two pairs
of shoes on there,

you'd get a third pair on there.

Next thing I'm going to see
is it completed.

But not before I have a little chat
with Susanna,

because I've got some ideas

that will really personalise
this project for her.

You always talk about your shoes
having memories

and telling stories, and I
was just thinking about shoe trees,

because whenever
I bought an old shoe,

they always come with these
gorgeous shoe trees.

I've just got to show you a few
here.

They're just so gorgeous,
aren't they?

If you did start collecting

and having some shoe
trees in your shoes,

maybe your mum's shoes,
shoes with special memories,

I kind of like the idea

that we could potentially decoupage
them with some photographs,

or you can write little stories
on the shoe trees as well?

It doesn't matter,
this is indulgent,

you have a whole wardrobe dedicated
to your shoes. And why not?

When we moved out to the chateau,

I just had so many lovely heels.
I was always in heels.

I can't remember the last time
I wore a heel!

So, your shoes also reflect
where you are with your life.

I can't wait to hear the stories.

THEY LAUGH

It's an exciting time
for our projects...

...as Kate and Erik...

...and Susanna and Luke...

I'm on the last two.

...are seeing all that
hard work start to pay off.

And those creative touches
can now be added.

Even my pond has come on.

There you go,
the water's coming through.

All the water from the roof

has collected through the butt
and come out here for free.

But with loads still
to be getting on with,

we'll be coming back to my pond
project another time.

I've got the mirror, Susie.

A few weeks ago,
Susanna and Luke came to us

looking to turn her
grandmother's old wardrobe

into a shoe storage show-stopper.

And now for the big reveal.

I am very excited.

Hahaha, look at that!

Good job, good job.

Yeah!

It was a joint effort, yeah.

It was a joint effort, completely.

Job well done, let's see if
they're happy, shall we? Yeah.

That's beautiful.

We had shelf envy, you see.
Luke, do you like your cupboard?

I love it!

ANGEL LAUGHS

You two have done an amazing job
there, by the way.

Luke, respect when
it comes to the DIY,

and all those bits
you've done there.

The principles you
got straightaway,

and what you've turned
it into is amazing.

But it's not until
you've put the paint on,

and do all the little touches,

which are incredibly important,

and actually bring
every project to life.

SHE GASPS

That's so sweet, sorry.

Listen, life's about that,

and those memories and things
there are not in your loft anymore,

it's somewhere you go to most days.
You know what I mean?

And that's what it's about,
we surround ourselves with things

and we use them,
and we remember them,

as opposed to tucking them away.

Kate and Erik were looking to
transform an unused space

into an unexpected family area.

So, with high expectations,

we're on our own landing
for a final catch up.

Right, let's see how they go on.

Wow, wow, wow. Not bad, huh?

That's amazing.

They must be pleased with that.

It's breath-taking.
Look at those chairs.

Oh, look at the cosy macassars,

they've done
such a good job on that.

It's just them.

It's contemporary, yet actually
full of vintage character.

Watch, watch, watch, look at this...
Watch...

Oh, look at you, one finger!

SHE LAUGHS
Well done, Erik.

THEY LAUGH

Let's give them a call,

let's give them a call,
and tell them how clever they are.

Hello! Hiya, how you doing?
Look at that family.

The two of you working together,
and getting that done,

it is phenomenally good,
that looks stunning,

and is going to look stunning for
years and years and years and years.

So, well done.
Thank you so much.

It's so Kate and Erik's style,
I just, honestly...

Thank you so much.

Oh, I've loved it.

It's just a gorgeous space,

put the kids to bed and have a nice
gin and tonic tonight to celebrate.

Well done, well done.
Great work. Well done.

Smile lots as
a family, as well. Take care.

See ya!
Bye' bye' bYe, bye!

If you mention getting
a sash window here...

Actually, a sash window is a
really good idea now, isn't it?

You can't reach it.

That's good. We're safe, we're safe.

SHE LAUGHS

Next time...

Action!

...we tackle caravans...

I think she'll probably be able

to get her entire caravan
done for 20 quid.

...get creative with calendars...

Solid copper posts.
Oh, look at that!

...and help bring the inside out.
