With the cost of living rocketing, second-hand shopping is having a moment in 2022 and people are heading to charity shops in waves not only for retro clothes, but unique home décor pieces.
In our Where I Live series, the ECHO will explore one house from across the region each week, with the owner giving us an insight into how they've made their house a home. Charity shop fanatic Sophie Hill, 27, lives on the Wirral with her boyfriend Sam and baby daughter Sienna. They bought their home in December 2021 and moved in just before Christmas last year.
The family have spent the last year putting their own stamp on the new build home, which was "very bare". Sophie said: "I don’t think the previous owners had decorated at all from when they moved in. It was a good blank canvas but in desperate need of some colour and warmth."
