Episode TWO, Aughrim | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST

Aughrim was Wicklow’s tidiest village from 1996 to 2005. By sheer coincidence, 2005 was the year Derek and Valerie bought their two-bed semi.

Their semi-d is so full it’s about to burst! Valerie’s clothes have had 14 years to grow and multiply! And husband Derek has reached tipping point!

As a dedicated follower of fashion, Valerie has taken up every spare inch of their home. She loves to shop online and in store and loves a bargain. With so many clothes and so little wardrobe space, Valerie has taken to stuffing her work clothes into the hot press and has taken over the spare room too!

Downstairs, the sitting room is barely accessible. Clothes, shoes, bikes, drones, golf clubs, paintings and books are taking over the space.

Shortly after they bought their starter home in 2005, Derek became unwell. He has a serious bone condition and in recent years, hip and spinal surgeries have limited his ability to deal with the rising tide of clutter in the house.

So much so, that both Valerie and Derek now hate their home and spent most weekends escaping from it.

They need help! And help comes in the form of architect and designer Róisín Murphy, builder Peter Finn and their clutter busting crew!
