A woman has decorated her entire house in a 1940s style for just £3k - and says she loves it despite trolls telling her it's “disgusting”.

Josephina Finch, 36, has loved that era of décor since watching the TV show Royle Family as a child and has taken inspiration from the home of her grandmother, Patricia Minshull, 87.

Josephina has spent the last two years transforming her two-bed home with her partner, Chrissy Harrison, 35, a carpenter and builder - who loves their velvet sofas, floral and doily curtains and mahogany furniture.

She finds everything second hand – searching charity shops, car boot sales and Facebook marketplace and eBay for floral wallpaper, trinkets and old furniture.

The mum-of-three estimates she has only spent £2 to 3k on the house and says it is her “happy place” despite strangers telling her it is “disgusting”.
