Publisher's Synopsis
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! (2024)
The debut home improvement and inspirational interiors guide from Greg Penn, aka Man with a Hammer, who took on one of Britain's biggest DIY projects.
Many of us dream of a renovation project, but few would be brave enough to take on a 8,200-square-foot, 30-room, 5-storey Georgian mansion on only a shoestring budget. But that's exactly what Greg Penn did, buying the near-derelict Admirals House and embarking on an ambitious restoration plan.
In this beautiful book, Greg tells the story of his remarkable home, its rich history and shares his renovation and interiors advice, budget-friendly tools and hacks - readers will journey through Admirals House room-by-room, witnessing how each has been lovingly restored to its former glory.
Man with a Hammer is a visual feast and a manifesto on 'having a go' and tackling the undoable with understated elegance and optimism.
