Antique doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. That’s the central message of a makeover show that cleverly combines recession-friendly penny-pinching with “oh-we-found-that-in-a-little-place” snobbery. Each week jolly interior designer Kathryn Rayward and antiques expert Mark Hill, who is possibly part-Vulcan, help a nervous buyer pick out pieces that are cheaper than new yet better, and with a resale value. First up, Rebekah Prince from Essex dreams of a rococo-style boudoir. Don’t tell anyone we said this, but it’s guilty pleasure telly of the highest order.
