 after half past 12 on Friday. You have until midday on Friday to purchase your ticket. Full details are available on highlandradio.com. You can buy one ticket for 10 euro, six for 50, or 10 for 80 euro. And to discuss what you could do with the 10,000 euro makeover, and there's also 5,000 euro in cash. I am joined by Kiera O'Donnell, who is interior designer and visual merchandiser with Foys & Company. Good afternoon, Kiera. Hi, how are you? All good. So this, as we were just talking, is an amazing price. Oh, here it's amazing. So I was just saying, I pity I can't enter. But yeah, it's brilliant. It's like, I don't even know where to start with it because it can appeal to nearly everybody, just anybody, because you could paint the outside of your house and then have a lot of money left over to even start on the inside. You know, they do everything from wallpapering, the paint, as I said. You know, then you start going into your furniture. Then we would help you with all the design work as well. We have free consultations in store. We do call-outs as well, like only 75 euro, but obviously if you win the 10,000, you don't have to worry about anything. It would be amazing. So we offer all the services, all the interior design help you can imagine. Plus there's so many of us. Everyone has different tastes and styles, so it's great. We get to know the person, what they like, and try and help them the best. And then just show them as much stuff as we can because we have hundreds and hundreds of different wallpaper and fabric books. So then we do made-to-measure curtains, blinds, roller blinds, everything you can think of. We have it. And that said, it's that fear, like I do love doing off my house and picking bits and pieces, but some people, they are very nervous of it. Like I mentioned to you, I'm a real beige person, so everything's at the minute they're all in colour, but like some people are frightened of, you know, putting navy on the wall or whatever. Oh my God, it's unbelievable. Like I kind of knew people were afraid of colour, but they are like genuinely afraid. They come in and say, I love navy, I love that dark green. And I go, oh sure, why don't you try it? Oh God, no, I wouldn't do that. And then it's just about kind of getting them to push their boundaries a little bit. So you might get them something that's just not cream or beige and maybe go with like a light, just kind of a green or something nice and soft. And, you know, they're kind of nervous, but then they're just like afterwards, oh my God, I love it, I'm so glad. And like you'll help them visualise it, that's the main thing, because my husband always says to me, just go with it, I know it'll be all right in the end, but he can't picture it, whereas like I'm like I can figure it out. But a lot of things are trial and error too, as I say it as well. Like if worse comes to worse, you can paint over it, it is what you paint, but I think people feel like it's permanent forever. Yeah. Well definitely not in my case, I'm bloody changing paint every two years, I'm always doing it, so it's an expensive hobby. And is there anything particular that you would recommend? Say somebody has never, they kind of just go with the flow, but they've never really been brave enough to do something, is there any place you would recommend them for it to start? Yeah, funny you say that, I always say if you have a little small downstairs toilet. I've done that. A lot of people seem to get brave there, so like you could do some mad wallpaper or even like go black and then some really nice lighten. Cause a lot of them, they're very dark in a way, so I always say just embrace the dark and do good lighten with it. And make it funky and interesting and let that be your wee bit of crazy. And then sometimes then you get brave from doing that and then maybe the bedroom then is another good spot, but yeah, the little toilet. Yeah, cause I've done my toilet as dark, I was saying it's all beige, bar the toilet, but it's like dark navy wallpaper and then I actually painted the sealant's navy as well. Right, and that's really good. But I'm like it is, yeah cause it is such a tiny wee space and that's a nice surprise. It's a bit of colour. Yeah, it is brave, that's kind of a new fashion. I'm actually going to wallpaper my sealant and my snow. Class. Hopefully next week, they're all saying I'm a bit mad because. No, but I've seen that look slowly too. It might break my arm. So I'm going to go for like a mad pattern, like a William Morris pattern and then I'm going to paint the walls dark red. So when I ever do it, I'll put it up on special. Yeah, that would be lovely. And do you find whenever you are recommended things to people that they are welcoming into it or they do be still a bit apprehensive? Yeah, like as I always say to people, they said, oh, I can't do it. But you know, at the end of the conversation, I go like you picked everything yourself and they're like, no, I did not. I go, but you actually did. You're just showing them things they might not have thought. Yeah. And then when you show them, they go, oh, my God, I love that. And you're like, yeah, let's do it. Go for it. Yeah. And this 10,000 euro as well, it could be you've just moved into a house or say you're living in like an older house. You want to upgrade it or say you've bought like a real old house that you're renovating it as you go along like this would go such a long way. Oh, it would be fantastic. Like I said, it would appeal to anybody. It's a huge amount of money. It's not like, you know, a thousand pound where you could do a bedroom. You could do so much to the house and this like you could do any room. You know, you could get your whole kitchen read on and paint it. You know, there's so much accessories with your cushions and curtains and all that. Like you could just get everything changed the whole lot. And as you say, it is poison company is a one stop shop. So you will get absolutely everything. So usually go from the bottom to the top of this. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, they like we do everything you can imagine. So like we do different things in the Balbufe shop to the letter Kenny shop. But, you know, more or less the same in both. So, yeah. And is there any particular trends somebody interested in this now that are emerging now in the coming weeks that they could put good use to? I can't think of anything off hand. But I definitely think the paint is going to be popular now because we're coming into that season. Yeah, the good weather. Yeah. So paint is starting to get busy. And you'll see every fence and everything now when the sun comes out, you'll think, I need to paint this, I need to paint that. Yeah. But you were busiest with paint. And even spring cleaning, like it'll put notions in people's heads like I was doing yesterday. And you don't realise how many marks on your walls. And so even like if they wanted to get every room painted, they could. Exactly. You could, as I said, usually by the time you get to the last room in the house, you have to start all over again and away. You either get fed off or you just want to change. And even just getting a room painted and change the curtains and cushions, it just transforms the whole room. That's it. You know, you don't have to be changing every single item, but just to do a refresh. Yeah. Do a refresh in all the rooms, you know. Because that's what they say even like your living room, if you have a sofa you've invested in it, just changing your cushions. Or, yeah, as you mentioned, the wallpaper that makes such a big difference. It's like in your room. Mm-hmm. Sorry. They're OK. Yeah. Yeah. So that's exactly it. Just doing change of fabrics and things just gives it a whole new lease of life. Even some wall art and just to make it a bit more funky and just change it about. But sometimes because you're so used to looking at your own room, you can't see past it and you're like, I don't know what way to change it. You might just need somebody to come out and just say, what about this, that, the other? Just let's move this around. Yeah. Don't be afraid to move things around. Like it might not work, but you don't know to your kind of sitting in it or living in it if it feels right or not. Yeah. But no, that's what the great thing is about this, that anybody can win it and you'll have all the help in the world you'll need. Yeah, exactly. We're always here to help.
