Stromness home to feature in TV competition
May 12, 2021 at 4:30 pm
Jo Ramsey and her home at 4 Ness Road, Stromness, will feature on Scotland’s Home of the Year this evening.
A Stromness writer has opened the doors to her 200-year-old home, and allowed the nation to take a peek inside, as part of a television competition seeking to uncover Scotland’s top home.
Jo Ramsey has lived at 4 Ness Road, part of Double House, for 30 years, but tonight, she will display her home in a fashion like none other.
Scotland’s Home of the Year sets out to showcase outstanding homes, and sees three property experts travel to nine regions before the grand finale is held.
I’ll need more information. Style Fixers – which aired as a pilot on the BBC Scotland channel last year – has now been commissioned as a six-part series. It charts the adventures of an intrepid and energetic duo who love rummaging in second-hand shops to unearth style gems. According to the blurb: “They live for repurposing and upcycling, turning the drab and dated into fabulous and on fleek.”

The elevator pitch? A fun fashion version of Bargain Hunt meets Money For Nothing. With drag queen sass. And a keen magpie eye.
