PROPERTY guru Kirstie Allsopp is waging war on flat-pack furniture – from a disused shop in Glasgow.
The Location, Location, Location presenter is filming a new home improvement programme all this week in Miller Street in the Merchant City.
Her production crew has transformed a vacant shop unit into the set for the new show, entitled Fill Your House For Free. She is on a mission to give life to unwanted items of furniture.
The 41-year-old said: “New is not necessarily best, unless it’s shoes and handbags.”
“In this of all cities, why would we reject our past? I love the fact that Glasgow has all these incredible, solid buildings which have been here for hundreds of years now.”
