Episode 5

Newly-weds Shariqa and Imani have struggled to keep their renovation project on schedule or on budget in Cambridgeshire. They dream of transforming their characterless 1970s semi-detached home into a timeless, classy home with a period feel. But with just £10,000 to add a kitchen and transform the ground floor, Stacey has her work cut out. To help Shariqa and Imani get over the line, she encourages them to take on ambitious DIY tasks, including tiling with tricky marble tiles, creating their own panelling and building flat-pack kitchen units. Stacey also brings them money-saving design ideas from colour suggestions to clever hacks using off-the-shelf items to create bespoke built-in furniture. At Pickle Cottage, Stacey takes the plunge to learn new plumbing skills as part of her project to upgrade an indoor-outdoor space she's doing up in her own home.
