Repaint and brighten up an elder's favourite room

Conas a théann sé

When you only leave the house twice a week, the colour of your walls matters. Old yellowed paint, scuffed skirting, faded curtains — they wear you down without you noticing. Three friends, two days, fresh paint of the elder's choosing (let them pick), new curtains, a few framed photos repositioned. They wake up Monday in what feels like a new room.
