The Salvage Squad: Cobh homeowners' sustainable budget makeover

TV series The Salvage Squad pairs interiors pros with homeowners. We talk to designer Cathy Angelini and the Cobh family she worked with

Cathy Angelini of Flamingo Interior Design who tackled a sustainble redesign of the Murphy family's sitting room in the first episode of The Salvage Squad.

The Salvage Squad got off to a flying start on Virgin Media One last Sunday night with a trip to Cobh, Co Cork, to revamp a sitting room in the home of Naomi and Nick Murphy and baby Iarlaith, which they purchased less than a year ago as a fixer-upper.

Drafted in to help was interior designer Cathy Angelini, along with builder and handyman Trevor, to get the job done with a budget of just €1,000, a strict brief to buy only preloved items, and to complete the project in just three days.
