For some, festive decorations bring joy and warmth. For 77-year-old Dianne, they’ve become a domestic Everest, a towering monument to Christmas past that’s taken over her home and alienated her family. Enter the “Space Invaders,” Channel 9’s decluttering and renovation dream team, ready to tackle the tinsel and restore order.
This Saturday’s episode finds Dianne facing a festive clutter nightmare of epic proportions. The decorations, once symbols of holiday cheer, now represent a barrier between Dianne and her loved ones, preventing them from visiting. It’s a scenario that resonates with anyone who’s felt the weight of stuff closing in.
Decluttering expert Peter Walsh leads the charge, not just moving boxes but also addressing the emotional connection Dianne has to her festive hoard. Meanwhile, renovation specialist Cherie Barber steps in to create a more functional and peaceful living space, one that hopefully won’t be immediately re-occupied by inflatable Santas and rogue reindeer. And, as always, collector Angie Kent is on hand to sift through the sentimental debris, unearthing hidden treasures and the stories they tell.
“Space Invaders” isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about reclaiming lives and fostering connections. Can the team break through the festive fortress and reunite Dianne with her family? Find out this Saturday, March 8th, at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
