Dermot Bannon revealed he is still unpacking his belongings three years after moving into the home he renovated on Room To Improve.
The architect renovated his Drumcondra home on a two-part TV special that aired in 2020.
But he revealed he still hasn't unpacked boxes dumped in an upstairs bedroom.

He said: "We have a messy room upstairs. The reason I did my own house on TV was because I needed a milestone to hit.
"I'm one of these people who when want to get to something and it's kind of done, I never want to see it again.
"We moved into the house but we moved into it for the TV show.
"We'd only just moved in and then a week later all the boxes followed us and then the pandemic hit.
"The boxes are still there. I don't even know what's in them all in one.
"I could actually take each box without opening it and throw it into a skip now because if you haven't needed it in three years true, you don't you don't need it.
"I have stuff in my mum's house as well."
Dermot also said this Sunday's episode of Room to Improve is one of his proudest to date - and he hope it inspires first-time buyers to renovate fixer-upper homes.
Speaking on 98FM's Big Breakfast, he said: "This week's episode is in Lucan and the backstory is that the couple who bought a house bought the dream house because they wanted to live in Lucan village.
"It's within a two-minute walk of the village. It's an old house, an old 1960s house.
"They had plans drawn up and every time we went out to get a builder, they couldn't afford it and the dream was slowly eroding bit by bit.
"This was the tightest budget we've had for a long time. What has to change is the design.
"Throughout the entire episode, every time something was over budget, I had to take it back.
"It's my proudest because an average kitchen in Ireland cost by €15,000. This cost €6,000.
"Lots of little tricks in achieving what they wanted to achieve on a budget."
