00:02we're on a sustainable makeover mission hello everybody my team of top interior
00:10designers and tradespeople are traveling the country we're queens of the world
00:19revamping unloved rooms you shall not pass with every stage of this makeover they're gonna really
00:26have to trust me that's kind of unexpected like don't go for it too much that it's a circle oh
00:32my
00:33god with clever repurposing upcycling and secondhand finds it's not gonna look pretty when it comes out
00:39of the van okay but it's gonna look pretty by the end drama with a spend of just 1 000
00:45euro i'm
00:46feeling the pressure why why why and only three days to do it i think we should knock all the
00:52walls
00:52down that would involve you doing something each makeover will present challenges the elephant in
00:58the room there's no floor under your waters yeah i don't love the wall color it is definitely darker
01:04than i and just made it but if we pull this off we'll be creating show-stopping rooms that won't
01:13cost the earth this week the salvage squad is in the garden of ireland county wicklow to meet two
01:24couples who need our help in cool cool jane and marcus want to turn a dumping ground into a home
01:31office
01:32but can kathy overcome the room's checkered past so i was thinking of a checkered flag pattern wouldn't be
01:39my cup of tea personally this is a you problem kathy this is nothing to do with me and before
01:48we get to
01:48that we are dropping by wicklow town to meet design strategist shauna and former visual merchandiser
01:54turned marketing exec emma the couple have been together for six happy years we met on a dating app
02:02and i think shauna you messaged me first i didn't message you first i thought you were catfishing me
02:10anyway whatever the real story is the pair now live happily together in familiar territory for
02:16wicklow girl emma less so for shauna i've been from kind of north uh dublin for me it still feels
02:24like a bit of a novelty emma got sick of me there for a little while because i kept asking
02:28her if we
02:28go down to the to the sea and she was like don't worry it'll be there tomorrow we don't have
02:31to go
02:32down five times a day in wicklow town the demand is really high we went through three houses that
02:39just fell through this one we had to probably compromise a lot on like how old the house was
02:45and how much work needed to be done but the location was perfect and the view was stunning so
02:49we decided that we would just go full on and take on the diy job not knowing and how tough
02:56it can be
02:57with a lot of hard work shauna and emma have transformed this house it's rather bougie
03:05well except for the guest room the door is closed because it's just a little bit hideous
03:11it's a perfectly good room but there's wall-to-wall black wardrobes yeah they wouldn't be to our taste
03:16we just can't get our heads around it shauna works from home i get up early and go to the
03:22office so
03:23i have nowhere to do my hair nowhere to get dressed it'd be great if the room could double up
03:28as a
03:28space to get ready and then a space for family and friends to come and stay i know just the
03:33designer
03:33for this job peter irvine is the man to give these gals the space they long for even if some
03:39of his
03:39choices are a bit left of field salvage is a massive dna in my design quite often it's the more
03:46decrepit
03:46something is is the more i love it and want to give it a new life i find myself driving
03:51past fields
03:51going oh i wonder if there's like an abandoned sink or bathtub in there that i could use
03:57while we've no time to stop now we're on the road let's go team savage squad welcome to wicklow
04:05peter i feel like i'm in the south of france me too i feel like we're on holiday have you
04:09been to
04:09wicklow before never been to wicklow no i got married in wicklow did you at paris court oh fancy well
04:16you
04:16know me yeah i married up yeah so the plan for the makeover is that shauna loves visiting hotels
04:23we'd love to have like a spare room that people feel like they're in a hotel i want to make
04:29it feel
04:29just like a nice calm space and then have a bit of fun with some of the things we're bringing
04:33in
04:34this place goes on for miles peter has searched the charity shops free cycle and second-hand sites to
04:41find salvage materials and furniture for his design i must be the only one that fancies
04:46tiles attractive because there's still loads left we have 400 tiles 400 tiles so there is some
04:54things i hope that they go oh like we have a trash can do you mean a bin a bin
04:58yeah the trash can
04:59is very american well yeah we have some lockers from like a changing room okay that's me having a
05:05bit of fun in my mind because shauna loves her sports if i had my way i'd be relocating tolca
05:10park
05:11to um over the back wall there and this would be the clubhouse i support shower and football club
05:17from a young age i played football i was fortunate enough to play for for ireland so i feel very
05:22privileged to to be able to say that i like to stay involved as an advocate and volunteer she does
05:28have
05:28to watch the football with me on a friday night oh look it's great if they win if they lose
05:32it's another
05:32story are these like your tall tin gym locker we have that photo inside who did you have inside
05:37when you were young i didn't work out i look like this naturally and if i did it would have
05:40been
05:41calling me no in the back with all the suds i should be so lucky lucky lucky lucky
05:48their home is already so lovely they've just run out of steam it's been a lot of work a lot
05:53of blood
05:53sweat and tears we just have a bit of like decision fatigue and we just need a little bit of
05:58inspiration
05:58shauna and emma already have a really good taste that's actually my biggest worry you're actually
06:03a bit nervous because their style is already so good yeah don't worry about your nerves i'm here to
06:09look after you i'd never do you wrong darling hey shauna hey emma hey welcome guys come on in let's
06:16go
06:17this is the room this is my first time seeing the room i know they hate the wardrobes but we're
06:24thinking about keeping them right but i didn't say i'm keeping them where they are oh so we are
06:35definitely taking those wardrobes down but we're just going to reuse the material and we're going to
06:39repurpose them for other things in the room this is the mood board for your room
06:46wow i was a bit shocked to see the tiles i would have never thought of putting tiles in a
06:52bedroom
06:52you have told me that you can tile shauna i'll give it a go for sure yeah yeah nobody's quite
06:58seeing
06:58my tiling and so yeah i'm a bit nervous about that do you want to see what's in the van
07:03sure okay so
07:04let's go to the van here we go
07:11okay interesting
07:15they were only 10p a tile so we were able to get so many of them giant silver bin i
07:21wonder if that's
07:21for us that's actually a trash can that's interesting it's quite big and the room is not huge
07:27what do you think that's for maybe to pick up some of the rubbish
07:33oh you can't really see beyond the fact that it's a bane is there something in this
07:39no i hope i hope not do you think they're gonna be good storage i think yeah i think
07:43definitely it's time to empty the room so let's chatty more working lead the way thank you it's
07:49time for me to crack the whip
07:54oh thanks you're welcome
07:59yeah all right yeah cool we'll let you in on a little secret peter is a little bit nervous about
08:05this i don't think he should be like we're like obsessed with peter in terms of don't tell him
08:11that no but he could work for it he's like a disney prince isn't he he should he should we
08:15make peter
08:15pan and call it peter paneling shouldn't he so am i like an evil stepmother yeah you know lord
08:21farquhar from check the little little tiny thing i do you know what i need a time i get back
08:25in there
08:26and do some work while i recover from that devastating slander prince peter paneling is adding another
08:34entry to his list of worries uh oh we need to remove those wardrobes i'm a bit worried about the
08:44floor
08:44i think the floor has been floored up to the wardrobe i don't know what's under or if the floor
08:50has continued
08:51that it's a huge part of my budget if i have to replace the floor it affects how we work
08:56in the
08:56space i'm really worried now i leave you to think about that peter but for now someone has to keep
09:03this show on the road as close by in kilkul we've another couple who need the savage squad's help
09:09primary school teacher jane and advisory consultant marcus have been living together for two years
09:15having known each other since they were kids living in kil mechanic we're not childhood sweetheart i
09:21didn't really know jane to be honest even though we live close to each other i didn't really know her
09:24until uh a few years back our friend groups would go to similar events they would all say it was
09:30fairly inevitable but um i suppose i don't think we saw that ah how sweet marcus often works from home
09:37in a less than ideal setup in the box room it's freezing cold there's no insulation i won't put
09:44the heating on i'll just put up with it so i'll put an extra jacket or whatever on and jane
09:47will come
09:48home from work and she'll see me with all these jackets on and say what are you doing and a
10:06hat
10:07the couple hope to transform this junk room into a proper office space oh i am loving the leopard print
10:15great taste this room needs to be somewhere guests can stay and very importantly a space for marcus's
10:22hobby and your playstation could go there too yeah yeah of course of course marcus likes the playstation
10:30he likes formula one it adds a bit to the racing having a wheel rather than makes loud noises
10:38like it is a bit unfair putting him in an icebox do you know for his hobbies ah so kind
10:48of you jane
10:49if marcus is to escape the icebox this room will need a total transformation coming up
10:56kathy doesn't get off to a great start i feel like i don't know yet if those panels go up
11:03and jane
11:03doesn't like them i do not know what i'm going to do and before it's even begun peter's makeover hits
11:09a wall okay so we have a massive problem we are on a sustainable mission to turn unloved rooms into
11:21dream
11:21spaces redesigning and revamping with clever repurposing upcycling and secondhand buys jane
11:29and marcus need our help to turn their spare room into a home office
11:34meanwhile in shauna and emma's wicklow coastal home carpenter trevor arrives to help peter turn the
11:40guest room into somewhere that the couple will be proud to have guests stay over well let's hope so
11:45guys no pressure like salvage the doors and i think the frame we can just rip that out
11:55the wardrobe coming out was yeah super exciting it just brightened the room up straight away
12:00well that's all super positive but okay so with a massive problem i have been given the wrong
12:08measurements for this space this alcove is wider than i was told and this alcove is narrower and i
12:15have the three lockers planned for that side of the room and i don't think they're gonna fit
12:21sugar yeah it's just not gonna work i need to put i need to flip my design i need to
12:26put the wardrobes
12:27to the left i need to put the vanity on the right and i just need to decide on it
12:32and move on
12:33so we don't have time to be worried about this the elephant in the room is there's no floor on
12:37the
12:37yeah there's no floor and that's a massive issue because i have to find one sustainably and that's
12:44a double-sized room so it's just not something i wanted to happen oh dear peter this is not good
12:52hopefully things will begin better in jane and marcus's they want to turn their spare room into an
12:58office gaming and guest space and i know someone who could help them get a handle on that room
13:06designer kathy angelini is the queen of figuring out what our clients need i don't just focus on how
13:14the room looks and how it functions i like to think about how the room feels i like to create
13:19soulful
13:20spaces there is character to them they don't just look good speaking of looking good how beautiful is
13:27wicklow hashtag stunning we're on the road and kathy and i are taking a trip down memory lane not
13:34showing our ages at all there's one show i was obsessed with growing up and my mother insisted on
13:43us watching it every sunday night and that show was glenroe glenroe kilkool will always be known
13:52for the place that glenroe was made yes glenroe was full of drama drama drama we're on the way to
14:00meet marcus and jane any drama with them today and your design copy there might be i have a bold
14:07design
14:08for this room it could all kick off have you heard of color drenching that's when you paint your room
14:15all the surfaces in a room all one color it's a good way of making a restful and cocooning space
14:21and we're going with a really really deep color on all the surfaces kathy who has a real eye for
14:30cool
14:30secondhand finds has searched high and low to kit out her rooms so i'm in a secondhand furniture shop
14:37in cork and i've just found the perfect office chair for marcus that was 130. how are we with our
14:44budget a thousand euro i have around 200 euro left wow under budget well so far we've not started yet
14:53i do want to lean into the the masculine vibe in this space jane moved into this house a few
15:00years ago
15:01um she's put her design stamp all over the house marcus then moved in a few years later you can
15:08really see that there's not much of marcus's stamp on the house so we're kind of saying that jane is
15:16kind of in control and runs the show yes whatever jane tells you to do i i do she'd be
15:20a lot more uh
15:21gifted in anything diy and i'd be more of the carrier stuff the heavy lifter he's great for labor what
15:27like when it comes to gaming i really don't have a clue i'm pressing it oh i think it's broken
15:39i don't drive my mother said to me one time and true a word she's never spoken why drive when
15:45you
15:45can be driven hey anna eyes on the road please anna eyes on the road safety first lead the way
15:52kathy
15:52thank you hello nice to meet you nice to see you jane hello hello so this is the room i'm
16:02going to
16:02show you the mood board okay okay i also wanted a slight nod in the room to the gaming so
16:10i was
16:10thinking of a checkered flag pattern wouldn't be my cup of tea personally jane doesn't really seem
16:17receptive to it this is a you problem kathy this is nothing to do with me i'm taking over jane's
16:25design stamp in her house so that's going to be a little bit tricky so guys to the van let's
16:36go
16:38oh i'm nervous oh get away oh kathy back out i'm obsessed it was 240 245 for a good bit
16:49of the budget
16:49but it was worth it what's what's this for kathy sparing the van making a dress making a dress
16:57i don't see the cohesive vision yet i really wanted to include some paneling
17:03i feel like i don't know yet if those panels go up and jane doesn't like them i do not
17:09know what
17:10i'm going to do to me they're kind of integral to the whole design it's a little bit too late
17:15now
17:15jane okay oh drama let's clear this room and i'm as helpful as ever brian are you lifting anything yes
17:30everyone's spirits there's actually another mattress underneath it as well pivot marcus
17:36janey you're pivoting there is a large double mattress and we don't have a new home for it
17:42and it's going to be in the way in their home marcus i absolutely have you don't worry about
17:47it i got you marcus lads being lads yay bros
17:54at shauna and emma's the flooring or lack of it has still to be resolved but things have to keep
18:01moving it's time to begin tiling the alcove i was tiling with trevor he was a brilliant teacher when
18:08you're putting your tile on don't be pushing them into the wall hard if you start pressing them in
18:12you lose all your tolerance so these are clay tiles it's great because we got them second hand but if
18:17you
18:17were ever choosing new tiles in the future i would probably just suggest porcelain tiles they have
18:21like a the best durability when it comes to toss god i'm feeling the pressure now that looks okay does
18:29it uh does it just lied to me with this all the ones that look really good are my tiles
18:35and then i blame
18:36the other ones on trevor oh poor trevor meanwhile emma and peter are upcycling the storage lockers
18:42i got them in this like warehouse that takes in secondhand office furniture oh perfect these were
18:4990 pound each that's 270 pound but like if you're buying a full wardrobe you would spend a lot more
18:55than that unexpected savings are what the sandwich squad are all about for instance pisha's choice of
19:01paneling this is the office divider that i've got off marketplace it's 80 pounds but it's four meters
19:09in length but actually if we cut it in half so it can do like the low perimeter we're actually
19:13getting eight meters out of it who'd have thought what a great idea but there's lots more to think
19:19about and there's a very important element of a guest bedroom that still needs to be sourced
19:24there's still a lot of big things around the room before we even think about building beds
19:32bedsides before my bed i still need a mattress
19:38work is beginning on kathy's makeover but there could be trouble in paradise
19:42marcus has been called into work leaving the team a man down i'm a bit jealous of marcus going to
19:48work
19:49today it's all on me so it's gonna be a hectic one and right on cue reinforcements arrive
19:57julia is here and kathy will be putting her to work straight away painting obviously is one of the
20:03big jobs in here today and we do need to finish the prep in here we need to take down
20:08that blind
20:08we have no skirting in the recess there's things that are going to crop up you know
20:13you think that's all happening one day yeah it sounds like you better get your skates on julia
20:21meanwhile let's get a look at this paint color which will be drenched everywhere it's always that
20:27first moment when the pink was on the wall how will it look that's the color of the paint yes
20:33looks like a small slurry sample right now i was a little bit shocked when i saw it first i'm
20:39really
20:39hoping that i will love it i think it's pretty good to be honest i actually i had to act
20:45less nervous
20:46than i was it's really dark it kind of looks black it needs to look like a rich brown but
20:53i'm hoping
20:53you know when there's two coats on it'll be that color i'm aiming for painting or slurry spreading
21:01underway kathy is left wondering about the color hello how are you i'm wondering what she'll do with
21:10that extra mattress if only there was someone making over a guest room i need a mattress
21:15please tell me you can give me one well look i'll double check with jane do you have any
21:19like you know sheet materials i've quite big sheets of this word this is great this is lining up
21:25perfectly bye bye bye i have got some wall shelves that i haven't told julia about yet um but i
21:33think
21:33i think it could be the material to use for these coming up trevor gets boxed in
21:40so if there's something that you're going to leave behind you you mate because we don't have time
21:44what will it be what's the last thing i do the last thing you do is have this conversation with
21:50me
21:51and kathy starts feeling the stress why is this very complicated
22:02it's a good start to the day for our designers in wicklow peter is in luck kathy has brought him
22:08jane
22:09and marcus's spare mattress in exchange for some of the salvage wardrobes low quality chipboard but
22:15still with we use potential i know it's not ideal we all would love to work with fresh wood stuff
22:20like this always ends up in skip because people don't want to work with this but i'm absolutely
22:25here to say that we can give it a second okay yeah i'm trying to have a peek in trying
22:30to steal some
22:31good ideas are you yeah go back to your bad ideas anyway now now designers play nice kathy's attempt
22:40at design theft foiled the next task is cleaning the mattress enter cleaning expert carl to do this
22:47yourselves there's a few hacks have you ever seen the potlid hack an oxy action spotless stain remover
22:53so about a scoop of that in a liter of water make sure that's nice and dissolved in the water
22:57warm
22:58water not boiling outside you'll cook the enzymes yeah less is more okay we don't want this dripping
23:04wet make sure that's nice and tight the peroxide and the enzymes are going to go into the fiber
23:13and the towel is going to absorb out the dirt i think a tendency is after a couple of years
23:18just think
23:19you know just throw it away and get a new one but to kind of learn how you know a
23:24bit of cleaning
23:25every couple of weeks can really kind of improve the longevity of yeah just look after your stuff
23:31kathy's back with the materials from peter hello hello hello how'd it go very good i have some
23:39leftover doors that we might use to make some wall shelves as well as repurposing wardrobe doors into
23:47shelves kathy has a 1970s light which she's turning into a plant pot using some unlikely ingredients
23:55a bit of coffee a bit of baking soda and some acrylic paint we're going to add our pigment with
24:00the ground coffee um and the baking soda is just a little bit grainier we want it to look um
24:07a bit
24:08like a ceramic clay kind of plant pot more rustic or textured where did you actually get this from kathy
24:14it's gorgeous so when my mom moved into her house like two years ago she had two of these oh
24:19mad i mean it's
24:21pretty easy diy to do and the list of items you need for it can be found in your supermarket
24:27you know
24:28jane and marcus are all about upcycling and reusing yeah most of the stuff here is charity shop or
24:35rescued from escape not marcus so that's my friend lucy her mom and dad were getting a new kitchen
24:42so we rescued the kitchen moved all the cabinets around and put them in ourselves hey it's good yeah
24:52have you seen the room no i think we might just go and have a look i know i'm not
24:56meant to
24:57oh my gosh it's really different i kind of love it i'm very pleasantly surprised the paint has gone
25:04on and i can safely say i absolutely love it yeah it's just it is definitely darker than i anticipated
25:12i don't love the wall color as much as i thought i would it's very dark but on the bright
25:20side at
25:21shauna and emma's trevor has solved the flooring problem by stealing boards from the room next door
25:27go on trevor they intend to change the floor next door so they don't mind us moving it that's one
25:33advantage of working in a house that's still in a state of renovation and trevor's going to need any
25:38advantage he can get today there's going to be a big panic today because there's a lot to be done
25:43huge amount to be done with bedside lockers with the floor to replace we have a dressing table to make
25:48i'm interested in getting involved with putting the floor down do you mind if i oh yeah stick this
25:55underlay and underneath it you don't need many tools yeah you can do it with a hand saw so what
26:01you're trying to tell me trevor is there's no excuses there is no excuses no oh look the mysterious
26:07trash can or bin has finally reappeared we're just using the lid we are going to make a ceiling
26:13pendant with it um we're going to try and recreate those gorgeous scalloped kind of ceramic looks we're
26:18going to use filler okay to kind of texturize it so i'm just going to get it sanded
26:26now if we just give it a prime and then we can just coat it up once that's dry as
26:30well okay
26:31i'm quite good at the like finicky bits you might call them like the like really smaller details
26:36try techniques and things or just find a way that you want this to end yeah perfect and then sean
26:42is
26:42good at like the diy and kind of like the more carpentry side of things we've had three houses fall
26:47through before we eventually landed this one and the money we lost and that just didn't allow us kind
26:52of have that budget where we could go out and you know buy all this new stuff which in in
26:57turn was a
26:58blessing disguise we've felt a real sense of pride after spending you know weekends doing up the
27:05kitchen we want to have that same feeling and we're looking forward to when people walk into this room
27:10i'm just so impressed with you and you should be extra proud really proud of yourself once it doesn't
27:15get to the stage our family and friends are booking us in for work when we go to stay in
27:19their house
27:20for shauna and emma making over the house has always been about having a place to share with family
27:25and friends but it's been a long road to get there what sports is i don't know who's lying because
27:32i
27:32don't know the right answer it is so nice down here this was a big part of buying the house
27:39in this area our first home we bought together was in cavern and that was i think three years ago
27:46so i
27:47commuted to work for a few years and it was fine and then maybe after a year and a half
27:53i had a really
27:54bad car crash my car actually flipped on the motorway i didn't have a scratch which is crazy and so
28:03i was
28:03really lucky but i got a good fright it kind of just hit home that i didn't want to commute
28:10anymore
28:11i hadn't lived in county wicklow in about six years so it was definitely a not sound too cringe
28:19but like a joyous okay yeah to finally get back just ready to share the house with family and friends
28:24my sister lives in cork and shauna's family are quite far away too so yeah we just want to invite
28:30people and have a space that they can really enjoy and stay a few days to kind of memorialize this
28:36moment and being a part of the show and stuff i wanted to just get a few photos of these
28:40what's
28:40been great is just how easy emma and shauna have been which has just made me really like want to
28:47make
28:47that room even better for them in cool cool kathy made a find you go kathy come here look what
28:59i just
29:00found so this is an office space but it's also a gaming space and i did want to play up
29:04to the gaming
29:05thing a little bit more so i had a look on adverts and i found this vintage racing car dinky
29:10there's
29:11three of them for a hundred if we get one maybe for 20 or 30 i do have a little
29:16bit of budget left
29:17the paneling which jane's not too sure about has to go into the room thankfully marcus has some free
29:23time to help before he heads to work right you guys hold there i'll go and have a coffee and
29:28i'll be
29:28back the diy is kind of my domain uh in our dynamic you gotta put those on out yeah i'd
29:37look good in
29:37them anyway so oh yeah totally boy racer it'll be great for him to learn a bit from julia especially
29:42because i know he probably doesn't have the chance um when i'm doing it for him won't work unless you're
29:48pressing from this point and at the same time so it's three points of contact yeah perfect we got
29:58it it's nice and marcus came back from work that he could actually kind of see it in person because
30:02i
30:02know i don't be able to show him around on my phone um and he agreed with me that actually
30:07it looked even
30:07better in real life i really like paneling yeah that looks great yeah yeah happy with that julia's
30:15preparing to cut the wall shelves from sean and emma's salvage wardrobes but she's also prepared
30:20for trouble more often than not the laminate when you go to source it chips so i have to test
30:28so now that i've tested on this small piece i've realized that it would chip quite badly so on when
30:34i'm cutting the shelves out that kathy wants i'm going to basically put masking tape down and cut through
30:39it and that will stop the laminate chipping like that
30:44that's our first shelf not bad eh at shauna and emma's the old wardrobes are about to be turned
30:51into side tables and a vanity unit for emma which is all news to trevor there's a lot of work
30:57in that
30:57so if there's something going that you're going to leave behind you emit because we don't have time
31:02what will it be what's the last thing i do the last thing you do is have this conversation with
31:09me
31:09as if they weren't up against it enough peter wants these side tables tiled luckily there's a newly
31:16trained tiler on site and this if you recognize it is your wardrobe yeah it's great to see it being
31:23reused yeah i think the last few days have really made us think twice about like reusing and repurposing
31:30even with the wardrobes i think if we had have had a skip thing would have gone straight in and
31:35that
31:35would have meant not only no side tables but also no vanity table for emma a girl's gotta get ready
31:44that feels great what i thought was a dress in the van turns out to be a coffee sack
31:50and kathy plans to use it as art i just walked into a coffee shop and asked them if they
31:55had one and
31:56they did so i have an old frame from an old project turns out it's a bit of a tricky
32:02one
32:02it's lopsided a bit yeah do you want to hold straight to you i think so which way at the
32:06top
32:07why is this very complicated can i marcus is home on his lunch break now that he's been schooled by
32:15julia
32:16in the diy arts kathy feels confident leaving him to sand and paint some wall brackets i don't think it's
32:22too complex it can't be all too complex it could even be relaxing especially out here in the sun
32:28one of these jobs is a lot more relaxing than the other right you're gonna really
32:36panic really panic and then hope for the best we still have to hang it on the walls so we'll
32:40see
32:41time for some well-deserved rest or not what do you think this is a holiday sorry
32:46ah marcus is gone okay um it's a little bit thick in some areas these brackets should be have a
32:58clean
32:59finish to them you know what i mean and and they don't marcus is in trouble when he gets back
33:06trouble is right tomorrow the rooms will be revealed and everyone's feeling the pressure
33:12they know we're not going to finish everything by tomorrow there's still a few jobs to get done in
33:17there we're running out of time tomorrow need to crack the whip i'm apprehensive i look around the
33:26room and i see how much we've left to do so i'm nervous we've pushed a few smaller jobs and
33:31bigger jobs
33:32into tomorrow that were supposed to be completed today so the minute we start tomorrow it's go go go
33:41coming up i express my inner creativity and i'm really good it represents courage inclusion
33:51acceptance hmm and you know what else looks good i love it just you wait and see
34:04it's the final day of the makeover at sean and emma's house in wicklow town the morning's kicking
34:11off with a bit of theft i joke peter yeah across the road see what's in that ship later on
34:19that out
34:20yeah here we are using this perfectly good yeah it's been a crazy fast couple of days it's definitely
34:31going to be a busy one you can see a lot of things i can't done like the paneling which
34:36still needs the
34:37top rail also salvage from the old wardrobes no time for a sweet treat now trevor we have an hour
34:43and a
34:43half to get it sanded cut put on the wall primed filled and painted it it will be somewhat of
34:50a
34:50miracle i would say to get things finished right on cue a divine intervention how have you been i'm
34:58good oh my god the weather is still gorgeous i have one pair of goggles for you right and i
35:03have one
35:05what is this it's called fashion darling
35:11you are going to create a spontaneous bit of art that is going to live in this room forever so
35:16basically i'm just going to throw paint on that and slap it against the wall how else can i put
35:19it
35:19your designers are so dramatic that's enough that's enough that's enough wow wow okay that's actually
35:29quite nice do you think that's nice i think something it represents
35:37courage inclusion acceptance
35:43the race is on to get all the elements of kathy's room completed including putting in the bright
35:48orange sofa bed which as it turns out is very heavy and then put it down you go down on
35:56the set perfect
35:57i'm guiding your phone out of the way let's just like drop it yet
36:03i'm shaking a little bit really heavy i think marcus as well was only pretending to lift it so
36:10now that the heavy lifting is done seems like a safe time for yours truly to pop in
36:17kathy the panic is over i am here to help give me anything throw anything at me will you go
36:23out and
36:23clean my porsche
36:28she couldn't get me to clean i'm thinking but her car her porsche didn't know kathy had a porsche
36:33but if she parked the car
36:40the neck on you kathy
36:44i think someone's playing a little game with me but you know what kathy i'll clean your car
36:49this little dinky is kathy's way of including the gaming theme in the room but it's not the only way
36:55she's sneaking that theme in what i want to do is include a little bit of that checkered pattern that
37:02racing car pattern we're going to tape off the negative space if that makes sense jane doesn't
37:08know we're including the checkered print but it's just a little nod she won't mind the finishing touches
37:14are happening at shauna and emma's but the girls and i have escaped to the seafront
37:19to find a far more productive use of time three two one go
37:27i've still got it look at those hips about an inch towards trevor yeah
37:35how have the last few days been the opportunity to like work with peter has been incredible like
37:41he's just got this incredibly creative mind trevor as well just giving us the confidence to try
37:46things i love trevor i'm devastated today is the last day i'm gonna find him on facebook
37:52i wanted to put a bit of them in the rooms i think the girls have forgotten that i took
37:56those pictures
37:57um i'm hoping to have and this is a nice surprise by putting the fabric on the background we're
38:01creating quite an expensive looking product but actually i got this frame free on marketplace
38:07and then the fabric is just a remnant that i had lying about
38:11what was the outcome of this what did you what did you hope for we just wanted a beautiful room
38:16that
38:16we could invite family and friends over and to enjoy but we got a little bit more because we got
38:20to
38:20meet the great team and it was just a really pleasant experience nice to meet people so you're welcome
38:28it's done i can't do any more i love it i really think it's exactly what they're hoping for and
38:36i hope they love it
38:43what was once an unloved space dominated by wall-to-wall black wardrobes
38:53it's now a light bright calming inviting space
39:01perfect to welcome guests to
39:06and a dedicated space for emma to get ready in each morning
39:15ladies your new and improved guest bedroom oh my god oh my god god it is absolutely stunning
39:27i'm shocked yeah i'm fetus me too it's lovely yeah i can't believe it i'm so grateful
39:36it was very emotional that you know two strangers have put so much energy into your home and they
39:41really did some passion yeah yeah my biggest fear was the fact that you already have such a lovely home
39:47and i wanted to be able to meet you on that well now the rest of our house doesn't look
39:51yeah but that's a you problem
39:56the wardrobe is gone but it's not really gone it is in the helmet it is in this vanity station
40:02your side
40:03tables they weren't our first choice for wardrobes but at one stage they brought happiness to a
40:09family so we're really appreciative that he was able to turn them into other items i just want to
40:13also show you this um it's just like a nice little memory so tasteful and perfect yeah the whole process
40:20start to finish was a pleasure i love the artwork too we know the artist and the artist is me
40:27i did that
40:29i'm just so appreciative to everybody that's been here over the past two days it was a pleasure working
40:33in this house an absolute pleasure i'm chuffed to the way it turned out since i know you love shellborn
40:43i absolutely love it yeah yeah now sure is gonna cry yeah i am that's definitely hit the heart
40:53in kilkul kathy is on the final stretch and the room is finally starting to look like a home office
41:00we're going to use this desk again it's here already we should use it as a designer i'm really
41:07conscious of how much i'm consuming there's so much furniture that is sent to landfill every year i think
41:13it's 10 million tons in the eu alone led bulbs use 75 percent less energy so they're a great sustainable
41:22option kathy's missing out on this gorgeous walk for sure i don't end here doing all the work back at
41:29the house right now what are you hoping for um i'm hoping that i like it as much as i
41:35liked the vision
41:36board yeah i know one part i wasn't a huge fan of was probably the checkered flag yes idea so
41:43i've no
41:43idea if that has made its way into the design what i can't believe is how big it is oh
41:48great
41:49it's the same size as your window stunning i do think i delivered on the brief you know it's an
41:55office
41:55space now for marcus to work at it's a gaming space and then there's the sofa bed which can be
42:02pulled
42:02out and guests can stay there i like the room now it's just time to find out do jane and
42:08marcus
42:12what once was a dumping ground full of clutter
42:23is now a cool contemporary purposeful office space
42:29with room for marcus's gaming passion and guests to stay over
42:42guys get ready for your gorgeous new office space
42:48i love all the textures i really like the colors and i can now see kathy's vision all together
43:00i'm actually surprised at how big it feels like to me it feels a lot bigger and i really wasn't
43:05expecting that with the color of the paint that dark paint actually doesn't close in the room it kind
43:09of opens it up strangely enough my favorite part of the design is actually the dark walls the the thing
43:16i
43:17was so worried about in the end i think it's the only color for that room so i see you
43:23got your cheeky
43:24checkered pattern in here do you like it i do yeah okay great now it's not as big as you
43:31said it was
43:32no it's a little bit smaller i may have lied there the room itself has a lot of me in
43:38it a lot of my
43:39interests there's also a lot of jane in in the room as well so um we've both done very well
43:45out of it
43:45from the beginning when i saw the images i think it looked like an inviting welcoming room and i
43:49think that's definitely what i can see here i was really surprised at how far the fairly limited
43:561000 euro budget could go with the final product i think it definitely looks far more expensive than
44:021000 euro for sure it bit by bit just turned into this phenomenal room it's incredible it's really lovely
44:08thank you we've kind of avoided people coming to our house up until now that's not a problem for us
44:14i didn't spill a drop i won't be wearing my hat and jacket if i'm working anymore so it's gonna
44:27be
44:27great i've ticked all the boxes and they love it job done i couldn't be happier with that reaction
44:34shauna and emma have just been so lovely to work with together we got there you know that's a
44:40beautiful room and i hope they enjoy it it is nice to not have to look at the over power
44:46of black
44:48still friends always
44:51kathy i absolutely love what you've done thank you so much you're welcome to kathy everybody
44:57kathy i'm happy roll the titles
