Daniel and Majella O’Donnell are set to appear on RTE’s home renovation show Room To Improve, with all-star architect Dermot Bannon.
The famous Donegal pair will be putting their home in Dermot’s hands, and we can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
“We were talking about doing some renovations to make it work a bit better for us.” Daniel told The Sunday World.
“Majella was at a homes exhibition and Dermot was there so she approached him for some advice.
“She asked him if he’d come to Donegal to see the house, and Dermot then asked if we’d do the show. We weren’t thinking about doing that show, but now we’re doing it it’s a much bigger job than we could have done ourselves. It’s exciting because the house is going to be changed.”
Dermot, who has been presenting the popular home improvement show since 2007, says he will take inspiration from the couples surroundings in Donegal.
“Daniel and Majella live on the wild rugged Atlantic coastline within a breathtaking landscape of lush green carpet broken by a dramatic rocks cape.
“The house is a typical generic house type that you’ll find all over Ireland and that can look alien in their setting and although the house is big, there was always something missing – a soul.
“The aim of the project is to reach out and become embedded in the landscape, but more importantly, finally create a home, a refuge that shrinks and wraps around them like a blanket from their hectic lives outside of its walls.
“This project shows that having all the space you need sometimes is just not enough.”
