How to Install a Shower Door

Better homes for everyone

The Charity Travail et Vie created this boarding house. It's a place which welcomes low-income individuals as well as those experiencing social isolation or exclusion

We have decided to entirely renovate this bedroom along with its en suite bathroom. These methods of renovation are easy to replicate quickly and on a limited budget

Here's Marianne, sculptor-designer for events and film sets. Plasterboard's her preferred material. .Eric is a painter decorator. He's a building expert. Together, they are here to help Travail et Vie undertake this transformation. They're a real crack team!
