Episode THREE, PORTLAOISE | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST

Róisín and the Desperate Houses crew join Wendy (37) Daniel (37) and their two kids Jun-Li (9) and Mae-Li (18 months) at their small two bed house in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

For ‘house’, read ‘storage facility’, because ever since Wendy moved the contents of her former hair salon into the kitchen, there’s no room to move! The kids share a bedroom filled with their parent’s clothes with an unusable ensuite bathroom, stuffed with boxes, buggies and ladders!

Resolving to ‘perform surgery’ on the layout, Róisín hatches an ambitious plan to reclaim the ensuite and turn a two-bed house into a three-bed home.
