Episode four, clare | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST
In the rural heartland of Tulla in County Clare, Josephine and her husband Ger live with their grown-up son Johnny and their daughter Bridget in the house where they raised six kids. But - despite the space freed up since four of the children moved out – the house is less functional as a family home than it ever was.
Josephine is a full-time carer for both her husband Ger and her daughter Bridget. Ger’s mobility is restricted due to his ill health. He hasn’t been upstairs for the last 15 years, and that’s probably for the best because every room is filled with clutter and furniture, from curtains, clothes and wicker chairs to over a dozen mattresses!
For several years, Ger and Josephine’s eldest daughter Mary has tried to help her mum make sense of the house, but it’s been a losing battle and now – with her wedding coming up, Mary worries that she won’t be able to have a traditional pre-wedding get together in the family home.
Fresh off the train to Co. Clare - Dee makes a plan to turn Ger and Josephine’s bedroom from a storage area into an elegant boudoir and return the living room to family life - but the main event of this Home Rescue is inspired by Josephine’s massive collection of clothes and shoes. Realizing that Josephine’s love of fashion also extends to dressmaking, Dee decides to repurpose one of the unused bedrooms as an ‘Atelier’ workshop.
Assisted by all of Josephine’s children, the clutter busters decamp to the local GAA club for the mother of all sorting jobs and an impromptu catwalk performance.
Meanwhile, back at the house, with a huge workload already underway and a bespoke ‘Atelier’ to construct from scratch, Builder Pete and designer Dee have very different priorities. And one highly optimistic carpenter goes off-plan and decides to create a custom shelving unit for the living room.
With the to-do list getting longer by the hour, can the Home Rescue crew cut their cloth to suit their measure in time for the all-important launch of ‘Atelier Josephine’?
Goodbye Clutter. Hello Makeover.
