Tania Bell, from Green Room Interiors, is on this episode to tell us how we can demolish a house with the purpose of re-purposing.
So many houses get demolished for the sake of rebuilding or redeveloping. As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, you have to think, there has to be a better way to demolish houses than to put it all into landfill. Today we discuss how we can think outside the square to save money, save materials and save the planet.

With over 16 years experience in the design industry, Tania has seen it all and is able to use her knowledge and experience to design and decorate any type of home from the ultra-modern to the fun and retro.
