FTER some recent
scathing reviews of her
new show, Kirstie Allsopp
needs to have a sense of humour.
And to prove it, the property
guru points to a picture frame in
her London home.
It displays a newspaper cutting of
a review written at the start of

Devon holiday cottage, scouring
second-hand shops and
reclamation yards for bargains, and
taking up 15 craft skills including
making her own wallpaper
