In this week's episode of the TV Carpenter Podcast, Wayne was joined on-stage at the Ideal Home Show by fellow TV carpenter who alongside being a professional carpenter, is seen on TV as the carpenter for "Interior Design Masters" and Stacey Solomon's award-winning "Sort Your Life Out".

He was spotted and approached on Instagram by a TV production company who invited him for a screen test for a show that turned out to be the incredibly popular 'Sort Your Life Out', where he's been part of the team from the start. His passion for carpentry and infectiously fun personality shine through in this great interview.

Now I just need to get my teenage daughters to watch the show and become inspired to sort out their bedrooms!

Summer seating in the garden ☀️

Show us your favourite seating spot below 👇

Looking for inspiration for a seating area or to give an existing arbour a glow up? First of all, a sand down and a fresh coat of exterior wood paint can work wonders. We’re loving the Parlyte Green Wood Paint from The soft pastel green is the perfect summer pick-me-up. Follow the instructions on the tin, then when dry, hook up a few hanging lanterns, string up jars of flowers and add some cushions, and voila! Try Solvinden LED Solar-Powered Pendant Lamp and furn.

Kate Bryan , the Global Director of Art at Soho House and judge on the Sky Arts hit shows 'Portrait Artist of the Year' and 'Landscape Artist of the Year', also joined Wayne on-stage at the Ideal Home Show where he interviewed her live.

Kate's passion for art is infectious and her knowledge and fascinating career combined with a desire to make art less elitist and accessible make for a brilliant interview that is interesting and inspirational.

I can highly recommend listening to this podcast interview whilst lying in a hammock, soaking up the sunshine and being gently rocked by a soft summer breeze - it was 'gert lush' as they say in the west!

🎉 NEW PAINT COLOUR 🎨

We are very happy to introduce Egret White to our paint collections.
Inspired by this beautiful bird found in the wetlands of Somerset, Egret White is a subtle and gentle off-white with a hint of yellow cream like you'd find on feathers under wing.

After seeing them hanging out with Grey Herons in a tree on a lane in the Levels near to the factory, we knew that Egret White had to become a Thorndown paint colour.

Egret White offers a lighter option than Whey White, creating timelessly elegant spaces in your home and garden. It is now available to buy from our online shop in the satin finish of Wood Paint as featured on the above image of the potting bench, or flat matt of Wall Paint.

In warm internal lighting the light cream undertone will be enhanced creating an enriching feel in the room for that classic country cottage look. Especially uplifting for smaller darker spaces.

Painted on exterior timber with our Wood Paint, Egret White reflects the sunlight bringing light with a gentle cream undertone.
