She is best known as the face of RTE weather, but Joanna Donnelly is also passionate about her stunning home in Portmarnock, especially her beautiful garden.
The Met Eireann presenter bought her Dublin new-build back in 2006 and shares it with her husband Harm, and their children, Nicci, 18, Casper, 14 and Tobias, 12.
Over the years, Joanna added a personal touch to her space which is filled with gorgeous greenery.

The TV host said that with a lot of patience, DIY, and tutorials on YouTube she used her skills to create a house to call a home.
She previously told RSVP Live : “The wisteria was planted in 2010 as far as I can recall, it was tall when I planted it, almost halfway up the pillars. But it took seven years before one flower arrived and another four years before it was in full bloom like this year,” she said.
“It’s a long investment, it’s a lot of work because it grows massively and it gets very leafy so you need to really trim it back to keep it to the frame you want.
“The most important thing to establish wisteria is pruning, because it’s quite a heavy plant so it will pull your wall down if it’s not properly anchored. But in the end it is worth the investment because it is an absolutely spectacular plant”.
The wisteria at the front of the house makes for a magical display any time of the year whether it’s covered in breathtaking leafy greenery in spring and summer or when it’s paired with warm twinkly lights and candle lanterns in winter, Dublin Live reports.
At the back of the home there’s floor to ceiling sliding doors that are ideal for indoor-outdoor living. It gives the perfect view of the natural Irish Hawthorn hedge, clematis, patio furniture, fire pit and several flower displays in the spacious garden.
In the home, there's plenty of modern touches including a gym where Joanna works out. She has a classic front hall with black and white tiles as well as white furniture throughout the house - including doors and tables, giving her home a spacious look.
Joanna has proved that less is more with simple decor items throughout her home including candle displays and photos of loved ones.
