Home Greek Home

TV presenter and designer Sarah Moore renovates a derelict house on the Greek island of Skiathos. She visits the house for the first time and discovers the complications of renovating in a different country.

Sarah's build is under pressure, with only five weeks to go until the Greek tourist season begins. With builders doubling up as speedboat drivers and noisy building work banned in the summer months, Sarah and her family are up against the clock.

With the Greek summer in full swing, Sarah keeps things moving by stepping in to stop the newly poured concrete from cracking, but plenty of other cracks are beginning to show.

With the builders struggling to stay on schedule, Sarah recruits her sons to help with the build. She hopes laying foundations and heavy lifting in the 30-degree heat will help the boys come on board with her vision and create their family dream.

As the build finally comes together, Sarah's focus turns to the interiors. Using her considerable design skills to ensure every inch is used to its best potential, she makes the surprising decision to place an alfresco bath on the roof.

The months of hard graft are starting to pay off, but there is still building work to do, a whole house to furnish and a party to plan. It is the last push before Sarah and her family can finally open the doors to their Home Greek Home.
