Coronation Street's Sally Dynevor sits down with Lisa to talk about the house she and husband Tim fell for before they'd even stepped through the front door. Sally came to Lisa on a recommendation from friend and fellow actress Angela Lonsdale, and her episode is full of the kind of advice that comes from living in a house rather than styling it for a photograph.

In this episode

  • Falling for a house from the outside, and what happened once they got the keys
  • Why Sally mixes antiques with modern pieces against a plain backdrop
  • The bedroom makeovers for her children Hattie and Sam, paint mix-up included
  • Being brave with colour: "If there's a colour you love, give it a go"

“Everyone deserves to live in a home they love, no matter the budget.”

Lisa is self-taught, which means she learned this trade on site and on real projects rather than in a classroom. She shares what she knows: the budgets, the decisions, what really goes on behind the plasterboard. And because she stays with every project from first sketch to final styling, working with trusted trades who know how she works, the finished home stays true to the design.
