Episode THREE, KILmeague | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST

 
 

Siobhan and her three children Ben, Ella and Faye live in a large house in Kilmeague in County Kildare, built by Siobhan’s late husband Vin. It’s been eight years since Vin passed away from leukemia and wife Siobhan has never quite recovered from the grief of losing her beloved husband.

The comfortable, spacious house was always intended to be a ‘forever home’ but as Siobhan devoted all her energy to keeping the family together, it’s become hemmed in by clutter, neglected and disorganized. With a space forever empty at the dinner table, the family rarely eat together and, dominating one entire room, Vin’s beloved snooker table remains covered and forlorn.

Unlike other Home Rescues, Róisín knows that this project is more about reconnection than decluttering and she devises a plan to link three rooms with new doorways, creating new space for the family to dine together.

As Siobhan’s daughters Ella and Faye come to terms with their unruly collection of dolls and teddies, son Ben takes up his dad’s mantle, helping carpenter Philly create a rack for the snooker room.

Meanwhile, Róisín comes up with an innovative design for the kitchen area and an eclectic approach to seating, where no two chairs look the same.

In the end though, this whole project is dedicated to helping Siobhan move forward and embrace the future – something she can’t do without the support of friends, family and a team determined to take as much pride in their work as the beloved husband and dad whose legacy and craftsmanship is still all around them.
