When Lara moved in, the kitchen units were only a few years old so she updated them with new doors and added solid-oak worktops.

The kitchen was tucked away at the back of the house, but Lara opened up the space to create a large kitchen-diner.

Lara asked her dad to mix up the lovely warm mustard emulsion paint in the kitchen-diner. She got the idea of the wall display from a magazine and created it using picture frames.

The rocking chair in Lara's living room belonged to her husband's grandmother. She had it reupholstered in a fab striped fabric, which adds a hit of colour against the grey walls. Lara found the retro coffee table on Gumtree.

Lara likes to go to car-boot sales and antiques markets to pick up bargains. It was at an auction that she found this gorgeous vintage dresser for her bedroom.

Lara hung a cute canopy above her daughter's bed and teamed it with a bold-patterned duvet set for a pop of colour - perfect for a child's bedroom.

The bathroom in Lara's home needed some plumbing work, which meant she got to redecorate it exactly how she wanted, with practical travertine flooring and brick-style wall tiles.

Lara loved this Victorian end-of-terrace house when she first saw it. Although it was habitable, the interior needed quite a lot of work to update it.
