If you can peel your eyes away from Kirstie's adorable four-legged friend Dandy, you'll also find yourself enamoured with this huge Aga range cooker in a delicate shade of cream. We bet many a hearty meal has been cooked on it.

We love everything from the distressed wooden dining table to the gingham napkins. The intricately patterned ceramics in a mixture of vintage designs also gets the thumbs up from us.

Any pattern is limited to the floral print on this upholstered button-back headboard, which gives this bedroom a vintage feel – and Kirstie's signature dresses, of course! The pearlescent shimmer on the mint green wallpaper is eye-catching, too.

And it looks just as good on the inside too. A large mirror, unique ornaments and some simple framed pictures give this mantelpiece a homely feel.
