Episode One, CORK | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST
At an end of terrace house in the Cork suburb of Ballyphehane, Róisín and Peter face a real challenge as they come to the rescue of Carmel and Konrad – a former Mr. Gay Cork and the sixth of Carmel’s eight sons! Known locally as the Kork Kardashians!
Konrad and his mum have had the family home all to themselves until last year when Konrad’s older brother Kenneth moved back with his wife and kids.
As a result, Konrad and his mum – both keen crafters – have relocated to two rooms on the ground floor – hemmed in by piles of craft materials – they’re effectively living in bedsits! Exacerbating her seasonal affective disorder, Carmel is so mortified by the mess, she hasn’t opened her curtains in a year!
Emptying two rooms filled with wool, craft materials and elaborate drag queen costumes is one thing, but the real challenge for Róisín is designing two multifunctional rooms with extremely limited space.
