Series 4, Episode 4
Unlikely housemates 69-year-old Carol and her 21-year-old granddaughter, Sharmyne live together in the home that Carol once shared with her late husband. Every week, the pair convene in the kitchen to catch up on the ‘goss’ but conditions are less than ideal.
Over the decades, the kitchen and its adjacent extension have been renovated many times but, as new layers of décor were added and the clutter accumulated, functionality has taken second place. Cupboards abound, wallpaper covers old walls and kitchen presses are used to store everything from t-shirts to Carol’s massive collection of charity shop bric-a-brac.
Determined to rescue the pair from chaos, Róisín unveils a plan to reorganize the kitchen in ‘Venetian’ style – adding new units and stripping back the layers to reveal the history of the house.
Faced with a massive workload, builder Peter remains unconvinced, causing Róisín at least one sleepless night worrying that she’s made the wrong decision…
Meanwhile, Granddaughter Sharmyne faces up to the huge challenge of parting her Nana from her beloved clutter, including a truly epic Christmas collection of motorized Santas!
As time runs out and the Home Rescue crew works late into the night, it’s clear that peeling this onion may yet bring tears to the eyes of even the best-intentioned home rescuer!
Goodbye Clutter. Hello Makeover.
