Episode FOUR, WEXFORD | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST

 
 

Mary O’Brien lives in the tight knit community of Bridgetown in County Wexford. Perky, welcoming and beloved by her colleagues at Wexford Garda Station, she loves where she lives, but the family home she inherited from her parents is not suited to her needs.

As a little person, Mary’s had to adapt herself to a house that was never designed for her. Tall kitchen units, a deep dark airing cupboard and out-of-reach storage makes the house cluttered and difficult to navigate.

Enter: Architect Roisin, with a plan to create a bespoke kitchen, a calm and contemplative bedroom and a combined dressing room and walk-in wardrobe for Mary’s extensive collection of seasonal fashion. None of which will be easy.

Supported by her niece Roisin and her cousin Maeve, Mary turns out to be the most efficient sorter on site. Driven by the irrepressible Country and Western-fuelled optimism of Wexford’s leading Michael English fan, Róisín, Peter and the team pull out all the stops to finish on time.

Units will have to be modified, space will have to be found where none exists and the whole redesign will have to be tailored to Mary’s requirements while maintaining the character of the home she loves.

As Róisín attempts to customize the kitchen, Peter and the crew tackle the logistics of turning an inaccessible ‘link room’ with a vast floor to ceiling hot press into an ergonomic, fully paneled walk-in wardrobe.

This is no ordinary fit-out and the team soon realises that this extensive modification will take a lot more time than they expected.

But if any team can do it. This Home Rescue team can!
