Home-making on the Cheap
Whether you're setting up home for the first time, or thinking of refurbishing a home that's endured the wear and tear of a growing family, good imaginative ideas can save you a lot of money. For instance, what sort of treasures are you likely to find in junkyardsanddemolition yards? What kind of coverings can you make for an old chair? Have you tried stripping a piece of furniture to give it a new look?
In the studio to exchange ideas with you will be Jocasta Innes , author of The Pauper's Home-making Book, and Roy Day , expert handyman and Do-It-Yourselfer.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
