0:00:03 > 0:00:05Ooh, just before you throw those away...
0:00:06 > 0:00:09How do you make money for nothing?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11- Can I have it? - You can have it, yeah.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16The answer could be hiding in the 30 million tonnes of household
0:00:16 > 0:00:18waste we throw out every year.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Now, this is one seriously unusual tip find.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25That's why entrepreneur Sarah Moore wants to get her
0:00:25 > 0:00:27hands on things before they hit the skip.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34I'm a passionate user, maker, and buyer of old stuff,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37and I've turned my passion into a money-making business.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I make new stuff out of old stuff, and I sell it for profit.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And, with some of the country's elite designers and makers...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48These were going to be thrown away? Seriously?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I love it, love it, love it.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54..she can transform her finds into desirable...
0:00:54 > 0:00:55It looks brand-new.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57..valuable...
0:00:57 > 0:00:59You are joking.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02..and, hopefully, saleable items.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04That is a triumph!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09If Sarah is successful, then she can hand the profits back to the very
0:01:09 > 0:01:13people who had no idea there was cash to be made from their trash.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16That is amazing!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Today, Sarah's on the hunt for all the hidden treasure
0:01:33 > 0:01:34the tip can offer.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40She's in Greater Manchester, at the Altrincham recycling centre.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42In between the polystyrene, the plasma screens
0:01:42 > 0:01:46and the paper unicorns, there are little gems coming in here,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48all of which can make money for nothing.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Aside from mythical beasts, it's Sarah's quest to discover three
0:01:52 > 0:01:56items that can go from battered and bruised to brilliant and beautiful.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Round here, you've got to have the eyes of a hawk,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03the mentality of a magpie, and the patience of a saint.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You've also got to have special permission from the site
0:02:06 > 0:02:09owners before you can take anything out of the tip.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10LAUGHS
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Diamond rings? £50 notes?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Wishful thinking, Sarah.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Perhaps mother and daughter Carol
0:02:16 > 0:02:20and Tamara will be able to provide a hidden gem.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Where's all this stuff coming from, then?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I've had it donated off friends and a charity,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29because I had a house fire and I ended up with nothing.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Everybody has just been so great and donated everything.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33How traumatic.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Furniture, curtains, bedding, the lot. Clothes for the kids.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Everybody was safe, though?- Everybody's safe.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Thank goodness for that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46People were so generous, that Tamara has brought the surplus items
0:02:46 > 0:02:48that were damaged or in bad condition.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Plus, she needs the space. - So how many kids have you got?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- I've got ten altogether. Six of them are at home.- Ten!- Yeah.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58How old are your oldest and your youngest?
0:02:58 > 0:03:0026, and the youngest is one.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Blimey! Well, with ten kids,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I bet a bit of extra pocket money could come in handy.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12So, if Sarah can make a profit to give back to Tamara, all the better.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- That's fantastic.- And this old chest of drawers might be just the thing.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- So what do you reckon, 1950s? - I'd say so.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It's nice and chunky, isn't it?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Here, let's just pop it down there.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Brilliant, thank you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Sarah definitely thinks that's a solid find.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I will keep in touch, show you what I've done,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and try my best to make you a bit of money. Really nice to meet you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- And you.- Good luck with getting your house together again.- Thank you.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We'll need to find a home for this lot.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47While Sarah figures out how to attach that mirror,
0:03:47 > 0:03:52let's find out what Tamara thinks will become of her chest of drawers.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Probably decoupage, whatever it is.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02Get it painted, or stripped back to how it originally was,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04which would be nice.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07So, that dresser's gone from derelict to
0:04:07 > 0:04:10decoupage in a matter of moments.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14It's well made, it's got great proportions, there is lots of money
0:04:14 > 0:04:17to be made here, and I know just the person who's going to make it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Daniel Heath has a passion for all things sustainable.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32An award-winning wallpaper and textile designer,
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Daniel loves adding an artistic flair to reclaimed materials,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41creating made-to-order furniture, and contemporary design pieces.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I've always been interested in drawing.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I've always drawn things from a very young age. I used to watch
0:04:48 > 0:04:52wildlife programmes and come away and draw the animals.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I guess I always wanted to be able to apply those drawings
0:04:55 > 0:05:00to something, so the routes were graphic design or textiles,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03and it's actually meant that I've been able to take my imagery
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and put it on all sorts of different things,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and it's been really good fun doing that.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Let's just hope Daniel thinks he can have some more fun with that
0:05:10 > 0:05:12chunky chest of drawers.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24That's one off the list, with two to go, and Sarah, as ever,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26is full of excellent advice.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Just make sure you're not throwing out any diamonds with the rubbish.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33No diamonds. Must make a note of that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Anyway, there might be a jewel of a find in the back of
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Julie and Dewi's car.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Oh, you've got a lovely bootful there. There's all sorts.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Where's all this coming from?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50This is from my son's house, he's moving house, to London.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- He's moving to London? He's leaving you, is he?- At last.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55At last!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I've heard of the bank of mum and dad,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00but the moving company of mum and dad...
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Who would have children, eh? - Well, I wouldn't mind, but he's 33.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06You never get rid of them really, I don't think.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Oh, no, don't say that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Well, it does mean you've got the pick of his old stuff, Sarah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What do you think of those chairs?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I think these are good, solid chairs, aren't they? They're...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Yeah, handmade. Nice shaped base to them.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Nice and sturdy, normally they really wobble.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Don't sit down, you might not get up.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Yeah, comfortable. Have to be comfortable, don't they?- Yes.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31If it would be OK to take away these chairs...
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Yeah, that would be nice, yes.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I really appreciate those, I'm going to take those away.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Sarah's legged it with the chairs,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40but what do Julie and Dewi think will become of them?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, if she can do something with them. If they were sanded down,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and just that natural wood brought back up again.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Here's hoping the chairs will still have legs in the sales market.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Sarah certainly thinks so.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Charming, solid, bit of '50s styling on here, and potential to give them
0:06:57 > 0:07:01a really charming makeover, and we know who likes doing that, don't we?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Jay Blades is a builder, turned philosophy graduate,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10turned furniture restorer.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17A couple of people have asked me how I describe my style,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and personally I don't know.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I call myself a modern restorer,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25which basically means I restore furniture for a modern market.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Jay has his finger on the pulse of modern design interiors,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32reworking the very best of British craftsmanship
0:07:32 > 0:07:34and bringing it to the 21st century.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Someone did say to me once, "Your furniture makes me feel happy,"
0:07:38 > 0:07:41so I used to call my furniture "happy furniture," because it
0:07:41 > 0:07:45makes you smile and it adds a little bit of humour to your house.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48My style is definitely not boring.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50My style is definitely not run of the mill.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55At the moment, those chairs aren't exactly avant-garde,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58so Jay might have his work cut out making them his own.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09With two items loaded into Sarah's van,
0:08:09 > 0:08:14it's now time for her to find her own money-making project.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Oh, goody. That was a U-bend. Haven't had one of those before.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Er, let's just let that one go, eh?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Oh, look, Christine and Matthew have a boot full of loot.- Oh, hiya.- Hi.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- I love that.- It's been in the attic for quite a while.- Isn't it cool?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- No, it's not cool, is it?- No.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Well, actually, it is cool.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40No, I'm with Matthew, it's not cool.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- So you said it's been in an attic? - Yep. It's Axminster, I think.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- Lovely, British quality wool. - Yeah, used to be the lounge carpet.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Wow, so...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Yeah, it looks like it's been used,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57or may have been under the sideboard or something like that, doesn't it?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00So how old's your house?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Well, since the 1930s, so that could be at least 50 years old,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06or something like that.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11These type of carpets have been made in the Devon town of Axminster
0:09:11 > 0:09:13for more than 260 years,
0:09:13 > 0:09:18and they're still supplied to classy residences all over the world today.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Christine and Matthew, however, need convincing of this carpet's merits.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27People love this kind of thing. Can you see it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29No.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Right, I'm going to roll up the carpet, and thank you
0:09:31 > 0:09:33so much for letting me have it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34You're very welcome. Have fun with that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I will have fun, actually. I really will.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Well, if anyone can have fun with a bit of old carpet, it's Sarah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Hopefully, Christine and Matthew will see its beauty
0:09:43 > 0:09:45when she's done with it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49She said you can trim it up and make a runner, or something, out of it.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Cos actually, it's quite good quality, isn't it?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Or one of those old-fashioned carpet bags.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That might be quite retro, mightn't it, actually?
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Yeah, I think Matthew's going to need a little bit more convincing.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Love it? See the potential?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11No, honestly, this is going to be lovely.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Beautiful 1950s original carpet.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I don't think this bit has been used that much.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It will need a really good clean up
0:10:18 > 0:10:23if we're going to make any money out of it, but this could be fantastic.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Loads of potential here.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Another great day, and three items found.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Daniel will reflect on Tamara's mirror and drawers.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Jay will play with Julie and Dewi's two chairs.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And Sarah will hope to find some magic in
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Christine and Matthew's carpet.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I would say, on balance, it's been a great day here at Altrincham.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I've collected a classy cluster of cracking future collectibles,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54all of which I know will make some money for nothing.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02The East London borough of Walthamstow was home to
0:11:02 > 0:11:07revolutionary Victorian designer William Morris.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Today, print designer Daniel continues that radical vision,
0:11:11 > 0:11:16and he's already thinking creative and thrifty thoughts.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Good man, Dan.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I've got a few designs that I've got in mind, and hopefully
0:11:22 > 0:11:27we can bring things in at a good price, so that we can make a profit.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32A man-sized profit's definitely what Sarah's looking for.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That peach princess, I think, really needs a masculine makeover,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38so I'm hoping Daniel is the man for the job,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and that he'll help me carry it upstairs.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Daniel's just the lad if you've got something heavy.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- There you go.- OK.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Great, OK, so mirror for up there. - Yeah. I have got the legs
0:11:54 > 0:11:55for it, I'm wondering
0:11:55 > 0:11:58if maybe we should put them on to see what it looks like,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01to give you an idea about the proportion of it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Be nice to make it more contemporary.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Would you be keen to keep it just one colour?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I think maybe we keep it one colour.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10We might do something tonal, on the door fronts.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Daniel might opt for a two-tone look on the dressing table,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19but the girlie peach paint job definitely has to go,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21and he's got another idea.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24The mirror's great.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28We can detach the mirror, and then what you'll get is a nice, really
0:12:28 > 0:12:31really delicate illustration that we can work onto the back of this.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32That sounds brilliant.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I had not thought that you would get detail onto that,
0:12:35 > 0:12:36so that is a real bonus.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40They've decided on a radical redesign,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43but what's all that going to cost?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Well, I think there's a fair amount of work to do on it,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50as we can see, so I think it's going to come in at around £400.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I'm happy at that price.- Great. Thanks very much.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- There's profit to be made, isn't there?- There certainly is.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Brilliant. I can't wait to see it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Daniel Heath is never one to disappoint, is he?
0:13:02 > 0:13:07He's going to turn that feminine pink, not very classy
0:13:07 > 0:13:11thing into a dapper gentleman. I can't wait to see the results.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I know I'm going to make a profit.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Sarah's confident, but then, she doesn't have to do any of the work.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Sarah's brought me quite a challenging piece.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25It looks like somebody's obviously had a go at trying to make
0:13:25 > 0:13:28something of it, over several
0:13:29 > 0:13:31paints of coat...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- TUTS - "Paints of coat!"
0:13:33 > 0:13:36You'll definitely have a lot of "paints of coat" to do
0:13:36 > 0:13:38before that's presentable.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41There we go.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Daniel has a budget of £400 for that transformation, but will
0:13:47 > 0:13:51he really manage to turn peach and fuzzy into butch and beautiful?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02The West Midlands city of Wolverhampton was once home
0:14:02 > 0:14:04to a large iron and steel industry.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Today, it's home to Jay Blades,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11who's eagerly awaiting some tip treasure.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Well, Sarah's coming along today, going to bring me
0:14:14 > 0:14:17something nice and interesting. From a rubbish dump, I'll have you know.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Nice AND interesting, Jay? That's asking a lot.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28These chairs are solid and brown and quite nice, but so dull,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33and what I need is Jay to absolutely go to the edge with them,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35and make them into something amazing.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Hiya.- You all right?- Yeah. Guess what I've got for you?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41HE LAUGHS
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Chairs, man, more chairs. - Lovely chairs.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I'm glad you said lovely.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Yeah well they look like... Yeah, they are real wood.- They are.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Yeah, they're lovely chairs.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Solid.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Yeah, these are gorgeous. These are really good.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Little farmhouse or kitchen chairs. What ideas have you got for these?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I think out of the farmhouse, and into the 21st century.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm hoping that you don't mind putting some colour on them.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11You want colour, I'll give you colour.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14My juices are flowing in this one. I like the idea of whacking...
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I can add a bit of colour. This is really cool.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22So, the dull chairs are in for a colourful Jay Blades
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- transformation.- I won't say too much about what I'm going to do
0:15:25 > 0:15:26to them, but they are going to be "wow."
0:15:26 > 0:15:31How much money do you want to make them "wow?" Hit me with it, come on.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32He's thinking about it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Still thinking about it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Still thinking.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45I'm going to say £75 apiece, £75 each, to make these "wow."
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'll leave them in your very capable hands.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Thank you, that's very kind of you.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I'll hopefully come back and find something a bit prettier
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- next time I see you.- Well, they're going to be pretty amazing.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Pretty and amazing together.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Go for it.- OK. - Can't wait to see them. Take care.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59You too, you take care.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It's going to look really cutting-edge, really trendy.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Not even trendy, sorry, these are going to be setting the trend.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11These two are just going to get that "woo" factor,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13is what they're going to get.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17"Woo!" But is the "woo" factor really going to be enough to see
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Sarah turn a profit on these?
0:16:21 > 0:16:27With a budget of £150, they'll need every bit of bling Jay can bring.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Under the wide skies of the idyllic Sussex countryside,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Sarah's at home in her farmhouse,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and she's about to get to grips with a colourful item of her own -
0:16:50 > 0:16:52that roll of old carpet she grabbed at the tip.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I absolutely love this big, bold floral style of carpet,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00but I really want to make the most of it,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03so I've decided that I want to make luggage out of it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Victorians used to make carpet bags and use them all the time,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and original ones sell for an absolute fortune,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11but I'm hoping just to create something that is pretty
0:17:11 > 0:17:13and usable, and make a few quid out of it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20The Victorians might have been a dab hand at carpet bags, but
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Sarah's never made one before, so this job ain't going to be simple.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I think there are going to be quite a few challenges trying to
0:17:27 > 0:17:30create something that is useful and saleable.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Especially since the carpet's been gathering dust in an attic.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- So, first job is to give it a really good clean.- I'll say.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Sarah's borrowed a domestic carpet cleaner for the job,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and she'll need it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I've never used one before, but can't be that difficult, can it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Power on.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Before the suitcase became popular, carpet bags were used as luggage
0:18:02 > 0:18:06by travellers, who would otherwise have to take heavy wooden trunks.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Who knew carpet cleaning was so much fun?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It looks a riot.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14So much brighter.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Just going to roll it up in front of the fire,
0:18:18 > 0:18:19see if I can get it to dry.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25With the carpet de-ponged, Sarah's got to figure out how she'll
0:18:25 > 0:18:29create the structure of the new bag she wants to make.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32And luckily, somebody who knows I like an old thing,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34has given me this bag.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Sarah plans to combine the skeleton of the tatty old leather bag
0:18:39 > 0:18:43with the carpet fabric, to make her new luggage,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46but first she'll need to take the bag apart.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I've only got one chance to get this right, so I need to cut carefully.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Maybe I'll just pull it apart first and see what happens.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Maybe you should think it through, Sarah.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ooh!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Or just rip it to bits, that'll work too.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I don't really like the idea of having a comfort zone,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10but I'm well out of it right now.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Excellent, it's all coming together really well(!)
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Chin up, Sarah.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27But I love a challenge.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Attagirl. With the leather bag stripped back to its bare bones,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34she cuts panels from the carpet fabric.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I'm just using a nice sharp craft knife.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's easier than cutting it up with scissors,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41because this is really tough stuff.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46As soon as I cut carpet, it starts to fray.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So what I've got to do is find a way of stabilising this edge, so that my
0:19:49 > 0:19:53carpet bag doesn't just become a bag of fluff every time you touch it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- SIGHS - For goodness' sake, it's a
0:19:57 > 0:19:59nightmare. Oh, it's done it again.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00That's a real problem,
0:20:00 > 0:20:05but Sarah's got a solution in the shape of her trusty sewing machine.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09If I were to stitch fabric strips along the edge, maybe I could
0:20:09 > 0:20:12stitch the fabric together, and get a really good join in the bag.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Thrifty Sarah had these flowery fabric offcuts at home,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21that she's now using as the bag's end panels.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yes, that'll work.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Will it, Sarah? It still looks much more carpet than bag to me.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36She has her work cut out if that's ever going to be saleable.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40As she already had the scraps of material,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45so far Sarah's only spent £5, on some strong glue.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Stick with it, Sarah.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Back in his studio in Walthamstow, East London, Daniel's
0:21:00 > 0:21:03turning his attention to the dressing table.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08One of the first jobs is to remove that thick layer of gloss paint,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10but that's going to be a tough job.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So, I'm going to strip down the paint, and I think I'm going
0:21:14 > 0:21:16to see what the condition is of the piece underneath.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm still a bit concerned about how we're going to get
0:21:19 > 0:21:23the paint off without messing up the top surface.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33I'm hoping that putting a bit of heat on the paint surface
0:21:33 > 0:21:40will just bubble it up, so then we can scrape it off, because... Oh.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Whoops. Don't drop your drawers, Daniel.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50This heat gun will help to strip the thick paint from the wood beneath.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56So it's bubbling up, I'm hoping that that'll mean...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Yeah. Lovely under there.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11It's actually really nice. I think it's teak.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I wonder if that'll change my ideas for what I do with it,
0:22:15 > 0:22:16in terms of painting the drawers.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23With this discovery, Daniel might ditch the plan to paint them,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and instead expose the natural wood.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30That's going to mean a lot of painstaking prep work.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34But that doesn't daunt to perfectionists like our Dan.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40This piece of furniture was made nearly 60 years ago,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44but you sand it back and actually, it's still great underneath.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49It was built to last. I'm going to carry on scraping.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53You do that, Daniel. It's going to take you a while.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Over in Wolverhampton.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11It's time for Jay to give the pair of chairs the Blades treatment.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16I'm hoping to make these look really gorgeous.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Jay's got a visitor to his studio today.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I don't mind, as long as they don't start to decorate it,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29the way that they do. Yeah, the pigeons are a pain in the bum.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37So, while hoping Percy's not going to make a contribution,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39on with work on the chairs.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40This is chalk paint,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and basically with chalk paint you don't need to rub down,
0:23:43 > 0:23:48you can just paint on, straight on to the furniture, and it will give
0:23:48 > 0:23:53you an instant kind of look of how the finished article's going to be.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Having promised Sarah a vibrant, colourful, Jay Blades' original,
0:23:58 > 0:24:05it's no surprise he's painting them a striking shade of, uh, grey.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Sometimes what happens is I apply a paint, and then I can see
0:24:09 > 0:24:13the design coming up in my mind, and this is really going to work.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16It's going to be really, really cool.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23The special furniture paint Jay's applying gives a neat, matte look.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I've gone for it now, so I'll have to make a commitment.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So now what I'm thinking, is to paint the leg.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I want to do loads of different effects,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41but I've got to take it nice and easy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Jay's decided on a colourful accent on only
0:24:45 > 0:24:47one of the legs of each chair.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Those, I think, they work really really well together.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Could even take that one out and add that in there.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- So, we're going to give it a go.- Go on, then.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Jay's planning to create a drip effect on the leg, so he's diluting
0:25:03 > 0:25:08the paint and raising the leg up, to stop paint pooling at the bottom.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15This is going to be a really organic kind of drip.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19So, the more you start to put on in certain areas,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23the drips will just form itself.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Is that really going to give the chair leg a stylish finish?
0:25:29 > 0:25:35Now, I've made a choice to do this colour before this one.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Now, that, the yellow looks a bit too similar. Ooh, look at that.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Careful, Jay. I hope you're making more than just a mess, there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Sometimes you have mistakes, but I'm going to use that, actually.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53I'm going to use that paint, it just means I've just got to work even quicker.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Well, hurry up then.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Do you know, I think I'm beginning to see where you got this idea from, Jay.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10In Walthamstow, Daniel's still hard at work on the dressing table.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Today, he's helped by his assistant Laura and it's a good job,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16because it's intricate work.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20The primer from the previous paint job is still in there.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Just getting the last remnants out with little scalpels.- Scalpels?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- This is less like woodwork and more like surgery.- Got to get it all.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32But I think it will be worth it, I think
0:26:32 > 0:26:35it's going to have a good result.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Once every last atom of old paint has been removed,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Daniel's planning to paint the exterior of the unit,
0:26:43 > 0:26:48and oil the front of the drawers to showcase the natural wood grain.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55We'll have a nice contrast between the kind of warm, orangey wood
0:26:55 > 0:27:01and the cool, dark blue that we're going to use on the outer casings.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04But before all that, a base coat.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10He's even going to line the drawers with wallpaper of his own design.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17This should be enough, unless I'm not doing my calculations right.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Daniel's going all out to create a unique and sophisticated new
0:27:23 > 0:27:28item for Sarah, but this is all taking a lot of time.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Is he really going to be able to deliver on budget?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Back in her farmhouse in the West Sussex countryside,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Sarah's putting the finishing touches to her new carpetbag.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53I'm going to make sure this side is really well stuck before I carry on.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57When she picked it up, this was a length of unloved floral carpet.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Now, Sarah's transformed it into an attractive, useful
0:28:14 > 0:28:19and quirky carpetbag, just waiting to be packed for a weekend away.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24The frame of the old leather satchel has been incorporated to give
0:28:24 > 0:28:28the bag structure, and the contrasting floral
0:28:28 > 0:28:31fabric at the sides gives it a sophisticated look.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Well, it turns out that you really can make a carpetbag
0:28:41 > 0:28:46- out of an old rug. I'm really pleased with it.- Jolly good.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52When Sarah first spied them, Christine and Matthew were chucking
0:28:52 > 0:28:56out scraps of unwanted carpet that had been stashed in the loft.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- I love that! - Been in attic for quite a while.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04They weren't that sure Sarah was on to a winner here.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- People love this kind of thing. Can you see it?- No.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12But they gave her their strip of carpet, and their blessing.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Sarah's taking photos in order to sell the new luggage.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27And, sure enough, one stylish buyer snapped up the bag.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Now, 21st century girl Sarah's straight back on the laptop.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Matthew and Christine spend their winters in Spain.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40So, Sarah will speak to them via webcam.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42BOTH: Hello!
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Hi, guys! How are you? - Good thank you, yes.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49It was great that you came along with your carpet just when you
0:29:49 > 0:29:51did, because I'd been looking for something like that for ages
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- to work on.- Oh, really?
0:29:53 > 0:30:00- I've sent you some pictures of what we did with it.- Oh! Oh, my God!
0:30:00 > 0:30:06- That's unbelievable. - No, is that the same carpet? Wow.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10It just looks like high-end, sort of unbelievable transformation.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I sold it as well, after I'd made it,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16and I've got, I don't know if you can see it properly here...
0:30:16 > 0:30:21I've got a little something to share with you for your carpet.
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- £90 here for you that I'm going to send over to Spain, for you.- That is just amazing.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We didn't expect anything like that, and we just thought,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32well... What we could do with the money,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35maybe, my mother's coming over, we'll take her for a paella.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Well that's fantastic news,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38well it was really lovely to catch up with you,
0:30:38 > 0:30:42and I'm so pleased you're having such a lovely time over there,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- and I will wire this across to you as soon as.- Aww.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Take care, thanks ever so much. By-bye.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56Spendthrift Sarah spent a grand total of £5 on craft glue for
0:30:56 > 0:31:01that transformation, as she already had the leather bag and fabric.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06Sarah sold the carpetbag for £95,
0:31:06 > 0:31:10giving her a £90 profit to pass on to Christine and Matthew.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Ole!
0:31:20 > 0:31:23In Walthamstow, Daniel Heath's putting a final
0:31:23 > 0:31:27shine on the 1950s dressing table with mirror.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, I'm back in East London to see if Daniel Heath has managed
0:31:30 > 0:31:33to change the drab dressing table into something beautiful.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37It was right up his street, so I really hope he's nailed it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42When Sarah picked it up, this was a vision in peach.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Girlie and stuck in its dated paint job.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Now, it's a slick and stylish cobalt blue beauty.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01All of the hard work revealing the original wood
0:32:01 > 0:32:04grain on the drawers has paid off splendidly.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10And Daniel's aviary of etchings are an elegant and airy touch.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15But will Sarah be drawn to it?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19I'm looking forward to showing Sarah what we've done with it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22It was a lovely shape to work with, a nice piece to work on,
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- especially considering how it came in.- You said it, Daniel. - Daniel.
0:32:27 > 0:32:34- Hiya.- Hello, Sarah, how you doing. - I'm really well. Is that really it?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37That's it, yes, that's what was underneath all that pink.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- The wood's beautiful. - The grain is quite lovely.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44And that mirror, it's lovely. These are just charming, aren't they?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Thank you. - Beautiful etchings on there.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Tucked away, there's even more.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Oh, what a surprise!
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We've lined the drawers,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59because we wanted to bring some more pattern into the piece as well.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03That's a really lovely touch, I think that's beautiful,
0:33:03 > 0:33:07to get that extra bit, and that colour way, inspired...oh, wow!
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Wallpaper of Daniel's own design in the drawers makes another
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- personal touch.- I really can't believe how stylish it looks.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- It's a smart piece. - It's packed in there, isn't it?
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I think it's safe to say that Daniel's got one satisfied
0:33:24 > 0:33:26customer in Sarah.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31She might even sell it, if she can stop enthusing long enough.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I think you've created something that's hugely saleable,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38and it's just how high do we sell it for, because it's beautiful.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Yes, I couldn't believe what it was hiding, basically,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44underneath the thick pink gloss.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52When Sarah first spotted them, mother and daughter Carol
0:33:52 > 0:33:57and Tamara were clearing out surplus items after disaster struck at home.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Because I had a house fire, I ended up with nothing,
0:34:00 > 0:34:05and everybody has been so great and like donated everything.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- Tamara's is a busy household. - So how many kids have you got?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- I've got ten altogether.- Ten?!
0:34:11 > 0:34:13How old's your oldest and how old's your youngest?
0:34:13 > 0:34:1626 and the youngest is one.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Sarah was happy to help her free up some space by taking
0:34:20 > 0:34:21the dressing table.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Which has since been reborn as a beautiful blue bit of bedroom
0:34:28 > 0:34:34furniture. And it wasn't long before the dressing table found a new home.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38A keen customer spotted a shot of it proudly
0:34:38 > 0:34:42displayed on Daniel Heath's instagram account.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Now, it's off to be delivered to its new owner.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53And Sarah's returned to Greater Manchester to update Tamara
0:34:53 > 0:34:58and mum, Carol on what became of their dump destined item.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- Hello.- Hi, Sarah.- How are you?- I'm all right, thank you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07Hello, Tamara, oh, Carol, hi there, how are you? I remember meeting you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- Yes.- You were looking like you had been very busy when I last saw you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Yes, decorating and clearing.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18The dressing table, it wasn't a very modern looking thing.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- It hadn't been well decorated, had it?- No, no.- It wasn't you, was it?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23No, it wasn't me, it was already like that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Did you have any idea what we might do with it?
0:35:25 > 0:35:31- Probably repainted it, maybe... - Change the handles.- Yes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32A bit of an update.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34I took it along to a guy called Daniel Heath,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and he specialises in surface pattern design.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39So, do you want to see what he did with it?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Yes.- Yes.- Here is your dressing table.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45So he stripped it back...
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Oh, it's lovely.- ..And he repainted it and finished it.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Look at the mirror.- And engraved the mirror.- That's gorgeous.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57- That's lovely.- So, I did manage to sell your dressing table. I've actually got some money here,
0:35:57 > 0:36:03- I've got £350.- No! Shut up! Wow.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- Wow, Sarah.- All yours.- Thank you. - It's an absolute pleasure.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I didn't really expect that, honestly. It's brilliant.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16And what will you do with it, any ideas?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18I'm going to buy a new TV with it,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I had one donated and I was very grateful.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25The sound went on it this morning, so, I'm going to replace the telly.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Excellent, well, really great to catch up.- Thank you, Sarah.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Nice to see you, Carol, as well. By-bye.- Bye!- Thank you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37I am so pleased that this particular project has turned out well,
0:36:37 > 0:36:39because Tamara and her family have been through lots recently,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and I think that money is going to come in handy.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49Daniel's materials and labour on the dressing table came in on budget.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Back in Wolverhampton, Jay has put the finishing touches to the
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- pair of chairs. - I'm happy as a bumblebee.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19These, I believe, could go in an art gallery, they are really that good.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24I'll call the Tate Modern now, Jay. But will Sarah be as excited?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29I have been really looking forward to see what Jay has managed to
0:37:29 > 0:37:32do to those two boring old farmhouse style chairs that I dropped off.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35So, I'm hoping that he's managed to sprinkle some magic on them,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38and turn them into something really fantastic.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Sarah challenged Jay to transport these solid
0:37:44 > 0:37:49but dull chairs from their country cottage past into the 21st century.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05And Jay has certainly not disappointed. With a bit of elbow grease and the flick of a wrist,
0:38:05 > 0:38:10he's given them a whole new future on the interiors cutting edge.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15The cool grey basecoat makes the perfect canvas on which to
0:38:15 > 0:38:18showcase the bright, bold, neon drip effect,
0:38:18 > 0:38:23which brings the chairs alive with personality and colour.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Jay's justifiably proud of his handiwork,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28so let's hope Sarah takes to them as well.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Have they got... They're really cool.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35I think they're really, really cool.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I'm over the moon with them, to tell you the truth.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I think they're really sophisticated.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41It's just really quite clever.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Sophisticated, that's quite cool, that's a nice one, I like that.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47If you had done it all over, or you had not paired it up with
0:38:47 > 0:38:50such a lovely finish, I think it would look childlike,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53but what you've done looks cool, it's cool.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Yes, I think it really does look cool, I really like it.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59You've certainly managed to give them a new identity,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02because they were pretty boring before, weren't they?
0:39:05 > 0:39:10And what's more, Jay's labour and materials are on budget too, at £150 for the pair.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Do you reckon I'm going to turn a profit on these or not?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- I think you're going to turn a profit.- I think they're fantastic.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- No problem. Can do.- Thanks. - All right.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- We started something big here. - No, we started a trend.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- That's what that is, this is a trendsetter. You take care now. - Bye.- Bye.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32There is not a trace of country cottage left on those chairs,
0:39:32 > 0:39:36he's blown away the cobwebs and brought out all their best features,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38and that design idea is really clever.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Dewi and Julie were clearing out their son Owen's
0:39:48 > 0:39:53- stuff in preparation for a big move. - He's leaving you, is he?
0:39:53 > 0:39:58- He is, at last.- At last.- Sarah took a shine to their pair of chairs.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Good solid chairs, aren't they? They're handmade.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- Dewi and Julie were happy to let her have them.- She can do something with those two.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Yes, she can do something, if they were sanded down and just,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- that natural wood brought back up again.- That's not what happened.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20But, the chairs have now been completely reinvented for the modern age.
0:40:21 > 0:40:28And, what's more, they've been sold to an online vintage and retro furniture specialist.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Owner Nick Smith agrees that the chairs are cool customers.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I love the detailed paintwork on the chairs, they look really cool.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Yeah, I like all these paint splatters on the legs, they look really good.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Different, very different.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Time to head to north Wales, and with Dewi busy at work,
0:40:44 > 0:40:50- Sarah will be showing Julie what became of the chairs.- Hi there.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Hello, Sarah. - Very nice to see you again.- And you.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Well, it was great seeing you at the tip, and being really helpful.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58You were helping your son move, weren't you?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Yes, yes, it was a busy day.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03I saw lots of things I was interested in that he was disposing of.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06One of them was the pair of chairs, the stick back chairs.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09So, I've got some pictures here to show you, of how they ended up.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I don't know how much they look like the chairs that you remembered,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- but...- Wow, gosh, well no, they were wood, weren't they, like a pine effect.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Yes.- Those are beautiful, aren't they?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20So, what he's done is he's given them a good coat of paint
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- and he has put... - Just a bit of colour on.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Bit of colour, just on the legs, just to give them
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- a little something different. - It's lovely.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29So I did actually manage to sell the chairs,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32and I've got a little bit of money here to hand over.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Not a fortune, but I have got have got, there's £5 there.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- Oh, good heavens.- And 20 more to go with it, for your...
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Well thank you very much.- ..your son's old chairs.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42So, you worked really hard that day,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44what are you going to do with the money?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Well, I had thought it would be nice to go out for a meal,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51but I think it would be nice to give it to Owen as well,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53because he bought the chairs originally, and it's
0:41:53 > 0:41:57lovely to see that they've been brought up to such a high standard.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59So, I think Owen would appreciate it.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Oh, it was a pleasure, and thank you so much for your time, at the tip and here today.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I enjoyed it very much, I did tell Owen, he was quite excited.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Excellent, well, lovely to catch up. Thank you ever so much.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09- Thank you.- Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Well, I think Julie's a very helpful and generous mother,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17because not only did she help her son move, she let us
0:42:17 > 0:42:21have those chairs, and she's going to give the profit back to him.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Jay's labour and materials on the chairs came in at...
0:42:43 > 0:42:46That Duchess of Dump Divers, Sarah,
0:42:46 > 0:42:50has rescued a trio of items from a life of grime.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56The roll of carpet has a stylish new future as a treasured weekend bag.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00One peachy dressing table was dragged
0:43:00 > 0:43:03gleaming into the modern day.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07And two old wooden chairs are now the hippest new seats on the block.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Well, they were three brilliant transformations, from tip
0:43:13 > 0:43:17bound to top end, with money for nothing made along the way.
