Furniture upcycling – could this be the perfect winter hobby for you if you have just stopped work?  Could it even be a money spinner?

No guest this week but Tiggy, Susie and Ann in their little Zoom boxes giggle their way through what they know about turning old furniture which has seen better days into something that is bright and cheerful for today’s homes.  Chalk paint, crackle glaze, decoupage, where to pick up your old furniture in the first place and even how to get a diploma in furniture restoration, all feature in their conversation.

Apologies as usual if there is annoying interference affecting the sound quality.  Fingers crossed not so bad this week!
