Episode TWO, Kildare | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST
Near to the train station in Kildare town, Gaeilgeoir and primary school teacher Shónagh struggles with the rising tide of clutter at the railway cottage she shares with her four young children.
Both Shónagh and her brother Ciarán, who contacted the Home Rescue team on her behalf, are still mourning the loss of their beloved Mum. Over the years, maintaining the cottage has been overwhelming for Shónagh and she struggles to cope with a long list of repairs and unfinished projects brought on by her ADHD.
Though she’s highly creative, Shónagh desperately needs help turning the house into a functioning family home for her children and somewhere she can entertain friends and express her own sense of style.
As friends and family row in to clear the contents of the old cottage, relocating a mountain of clutter and legacy furniture to a local jockey training centre for sorting, designer Dee comes up with an innovative plan to reinvent the dysfunctional kitchen and dark hallway, while also creating a stylish boudoir in an existing chaotic space Shónagh calls her ‘DOOM room’ (an acronym for Didn’t Organise, Only Moved).
Pete and the build crew have their work cut out as they set about paneling the hallway, moving radiators and cutting into a wall dividing the kitchen and dining room to create the ‘tearoom’ ambience Dee has her heart set on.
Meanwhile, Dee gets to work stripping wallpaper, 666 an old dresser and creating an elegant setting for a roll top desk that once belonged to Shónagh’s late mum.
Misplaced shelves and last-minute changes to the colour scheme turn out to be the least of Dee’s worries as the lads attempt the tricky job of creating a perfectly aligned archway connecting the new kitchen with what will hopefully be Shónagh’s new tearoom. But, as with most old houses, structural work has to proceed slowly and carefully – all of which adds to the pressure of this build.
In short, there may be delays as this Home Rescue team steam ahead to reach the end of the line – hopefully on schedule for Shónagh and her children.
Goodbye Clutter. Hello Makeover.
