I was putting bits of material up and everything was too chintzy. I found a piece of vintage lace in my cupboard - I collect fabric - and I dyed it fuschia It looked amazing. I'd just given mine to my 15-year-old daughter, so it was perfect. We had to have the banister taken out to get it up the stairs I haven't found a sheet yet to fit it. The good thing is our two boys always come up to our bed in the night, they bring their pillows up and now both of them fit in.Yes, the house is quite feminine; it's all my style. I'm just mad about it - I have been since I was 14.The 7ft bed was given to me by Samantha Morton this Christmas She asked if I knew anyone who could store it for her. I had the mirrored dresser and chest of drawers already; I got them from Paris I collect vintage stuff.

We did the same with the loft to make one big bedroom and open up the ceilings We didn't have much money. We didn't get a new floor; we stripped and painted the floorboards - we did our best on the budget we had.The bedroom is my favourite room; you can go up there and feel like you're just away from everything At night, you can see the stars from the window It's a tranquil place to be. We know lots of people round here and in the summer it's so nice; we have garden parties all the time.The first thing we did was knock down the walls between the living room and the corridor to make one large room. She lives with Danny and her three children in a Victorian house in a square in Camden, north London We used to live in Brondesbury Park, near Kilburn.

It was owned by a guy who had lived here for many many years and the basement was just rubble, and the garden was a forest But when I walked in, I just loved it Danny was reluctant to move back but I was insistent. So, when a house came up for sale in this square, I looked at it immediately. It was a mess. We went for one year but we really missed being here - especially in the summer when you can walk down and go to all the pubs. We found ourselves travelling here constantly and having to get home at night.
