1
00:00:01,166 --> 00:00:02,300
[Karen] I bought a house
in Wilmington, North Carolina.
2
00:00:02,300 --> 00:00:04,000
A classic Good Bones house.
3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,767
My job would be a lot easier
if it just fell over.
4
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:09,200
[Karen] Ready, set, go!
5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,734
-This isn't doing anything.
-[man] Well, we know we have
a foundation problem.
6
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,233
Oh! Are you okay?
7
00:00:14,233 --> 00:00:17,100
-This hurricane,
it is on top of us.
-[siren wailing]
8
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,800
[man on phone]
Worst case scenario,
the house washes away.
9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,100
[Karen] We are
at the Battleship.
10
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:25,467
We could get some ideas
about how to best utilize
small spaces.
11
00:00:25,467 --> 00:00:26,567
Look at these beds.
12
00:00:26,567 --> 00:00:29,400
Maybe up in the loft space
for grandkids or whatnot.
13
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,567
[Karen] Outside of the house
seems to want to be colorful.
14
00:00:32,567 --> 00:00:36,166
I am not leaving Wilmington
until I see
this exterior finished.
15
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:37,867
[man] This is incredible.
16
00:00:37,867 --> 00:00:39,767
[Karen] Definitely need
help inside.
17
00:00:39,767 --> 00:00:41,066
It's all just a white box now.
18
00:00:41,066 --> 00:00:42,133
[man] That's my favorite.
19
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:44,967
[Karen] For the last decade,
I've been helping
20
00:00:44,967 --> 00:00:47,400
neighborhoods in Indianapolis
get a fresh start.
21
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,000
Amazing.
22
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,800
[Karen] I thought I was ready
to retire my hammer,
23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,700
but I am just getting started.
24
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,300
This is my first house
25
00:00:54,867 --> 00:00:56,333
that's just me.
26
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:59,000
This neighborhood needed
a pop of Karen and you are
gonna give it to 'em.
27
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,667
[Karen] Still alive,
still vibrant,
28
00:01:00,667 --> 00:01:02,367
still got a story to tell.
29
00:01:02,367 --> 00:01:04,033
So here's to the next chapter,
30
00:01:04,567 --> 00:01:05,900
because I'm not done yet.
31
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,700
[upbeat music playing]
32
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:16,266
Okay, cutest house
on the block.
33
00:01:16,266 --> 00:01:17,400
Oh, hello!
34
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,100
-[MJ] I was not
expecting all of this.
-[Karen laughs]
35
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,500
[Karen] I definitely am going
to need your help
with the design inside.
36
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,000
-[MJ] I'm excited to see it.
-[Karen] Yeah. Let's go.
37
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,333
Welcome to my little house.
38
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:28,767
[MJ] This is not
a little house.
39
00:01:28,767 --> 00:01:31,400
-This is shockingly big.
-Right?
40
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,867
[MJ] You definitely
under promised
and over delivered.
41
00:01:33,867 --> 00:01:36,500
I thought this was
gonna be like she shed.
42
00:01:36,767 --> 00:01:38,200
[Karen] Oh! No.
43
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,066
I'm glad that you agreed
to come help
44
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:42,400
because sometimes
my ideas spin out
45
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,100
and I'm like,
"Someone stop me."
46
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:46,166
-And that's what
you're here for.
-Yeah, absolutely.
47
00:01:46,166 --> 00:01:48,500
This house has said
from the beginning,
48
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,700
"I need to be bright.
I need to be colorful."
49
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,867
And so, that's the design
theme that needs
to go through here.
50
00:01:55,867 --> 00:01:57,867
So, come into the main space,
51
00:01:57,867 --> 00:01:58,934
we have a living room,
52
00:01:58,934 --> 00:02:01,667
-a little dining nook
over here.
-[MJ] Okay.
53
00:02:01,667 --> 00:02:04,367
[Karen] And then
towards the back,
we have the cutest,
54
00:02:04,367 --> 00:02:06,967
-tiniest little kitchen
you've ever seen.
-[MJ] Love it.
55
00:02:06,967 --> 00:02:09,100
[Karen] And then I want
to show you the bedroom.
56
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:12,000
Just gonna have
a full size bed.
57
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,900
That's it.
58
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,266
Bathroom. Vanity, toilet.
59
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:18,367
I'm gonna put
a great shower curtain.
60
00:02:18,367 --> 00:02:19,266
Questions?
61
00:02:19,266 --> 00:02:22,000
This feels spacious to me too.
62
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,867
It's the ceiling height.
63
00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:25,133
-Wow, wow, wow.
-[Karen] Come upstairs.
64
00:02:26,867 --> 00:02:29,967
Then, you're in
the second house.
65
00:02:29,967 --> 00:02:31,900
-This is huge.
-It's huge.
66
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,667
And I have an idea for up here
67
00:02:33,667 --> 00:02:37,800
that was inspired by my visit
to the USS North Carolina
with Cory.
68
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,667
In the Battleship,
the guys sleep on these bunks.
69
00:02:40,667 --> 00:02:43,467
-Okay.
-So, it's up on the wall
most of the time
70
00:02:43,467 --> 00:02:45,166
and then when
you have extra people,
71
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:46,667
you plop down your little bed.
72
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,634
-I think it'll be so cute.
-I think that is really cute.
73
00:02:52,467 --> 00:02:54,600
-This is great.
I'm so proud of you.
-[Karen] Yeah.
74
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,967
-You know, this is amazing.
-[Karen] Aw!
75
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:57,367
-Thank you.
-Yeah. For real, though.
76
00:02:57,367 --> 00:03:00,166
-This is incredible.
I was so scared.
-[laughing]
77
00:03:00,166 --> 00:03:02,300
-And you're
not scared anymore?
-No.
78
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,900
For all of my
house rehabbing career,
up till now
79
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:09,300
I've always worked
with a team of people
in Indianapolis.
80
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,400
So this project
is very different.
81
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,800
If things aren't going right,
82
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,166
I'm the one
who needs to fix it.
83
00:03:14,166 --> 00:03:18,166
So, my original quick
budget number is $200,000
84
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:20,700
and I have spent a lot
of money on the outside
85
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,867
because there are
certain things
I will not compromise on.
86
00:03:23,867 --> 00:03:27,133
And if I find a way
to save money on the inside.
87
00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:31,100
That'll be so nice.
[laughs] That'd be so nice.
88
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,767
But I'm definitely proving
something to myself
89
00:03:33,767 --> 00:03:37,567
that yeah,
I do have this skill set.
I am good at this.
90
00:03:37,567 --> 00:03:39,767
But, we're not done yet.
91
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:41,433
We still have a lot
of work to do.

00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:47,967
I appreciate you helping me
with all of my
design conundrums.
94
00:03:47,967 --> 00:03:50,166
I want everything
to be easy and simple.
95
00:03:50,166 --> 00:03:52,800
So, I want it to feel like,
96
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,000
-"Tell me you live at
the beach..."
-Yeah.
97
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,567
"...without fish
and seashells."
98
00:03:56,567 --> 00:03:58,600
So, I thought
what we should do
99
00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:00,700
is go to the beach.
100
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:03,467
So I think something
that we can definitely
accomplish at the beach today,
101
00:04:03,467 --> 00:04:05,400
other than the best time ever,
102
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,567
-is we can kind of come up
with a color palette.
-[laughing]
103
00:04:08,567 --> 00:04:10,867
We can see what really
inspires you about the beach.
104
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:13,700
We can just like
take it all in.
105
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:14,600
-Why not just go
to the beach, right?
-Yeah.
106
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,100
Like we don't even need
to have a reason.
107
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:17,200
-Absolutely, yeah.

110
00:04:26,567 --> 00:04:27,867
[Karen] So I love the blue.
111
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:29,367
-[MJ] Yup.
-[Karen] Very beachy.

00:04:29,367 --> 00:04:31,533
-[MJ] Coral.
-[Karen] The coral.
Very beachy.
113
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:42,266
I kind of like these colors.
114
00:04:42,266 --> 00:04:44,000
-These are like my colors.
These shells.
-[Karen] Oh, yeah.
115
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,567
These are your colors.
116
00:04:45,567 --> 00:04:47,767
-If we could go
a little more orange...
-Mmm-hmm.
117
00:04:47,767 --> 00:04:49,567
...and a little more blue.
118
00:04:49,567 --> 00:04:52,066
Yeah. I want to like
crank up the color a little.
119
00:04:52,066 --> 00:04:54,166
When you travel
in beach communities,
120
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:56,100
people have so much fun
with color.
121
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,667
Because we're all on vacation
having fun, right?
122
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:01,033
So, color is gonna be
an important part
of the story.
123
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:02,100
Oh!
124
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,000
-Here we go.
-Whoa! Okay.
125
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,500
-Now we're talking.
-Yeah.
126
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:09,367
-Yeah.
-This is some inspiration.

Broken glass,
it gets rolled around
under the waves and the sand
128
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:15,166
and so it gets
this frosty look to it.
129
00:05:15,166 --> 00:05:19,166
Could we work this into, like,
a backsplash or a countertop?
130
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:23,200
Yeah, because this says,
"I'm at the beach"
131
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,000
without seashells or fish.
132
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,100
-[laughing]
-What that says...
Oh, and look here.
133
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:30,734
There you go.
There's another one.
134
00:05:30,867 --> 00:05:31,700
Whoops.
135
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,166
As we were walking
down the beach,
136
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,367
-we found some orange.
-Great orange colors.
137
00:05:35,367 --> 00:05:36,967
And found some sea glass.
138
00:05:36,967 --> 00:05:38,500
[MJ] When it comes
to these colors
139
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:41,667
and when it comes to the ocean
and the beach, in general...
140
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:45,100
-Mmm-hmm.
-...obviously, these are gonna
be our key players right here.
141
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:46,667
[Karen] Yeah, absolutely.
142
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:49,700
So, I think we need to find
a way to add some blues
and some green sea grass.
143
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:54,000
Maybe some woven pieces
without it being
too over the top.
144
00:05:54,367 --> 00:05:55,233
[Karen] Yes.
145
00:05:57,767 --> 00:05:59,166
This goes here,
146
00:05:59,166 --> 00:06:02,166
-if I recall correctly,
my layout.
-Yeah.
147
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:03,367
I mean, I like this.
148
00:06:03,367 --> 00:06:06,000
So, cooking, cooking, cooking,
putting dishes in the sink,
149
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,400
getting the thing
from the fridge.
150
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,467
This is great.
151
00:06:08,467 --> 00:06:09,767
And I have this vision.
152
00:06:09,767 --> 00:06:11,400
-When we went to the beach...
-[MJ] Yes.
153
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,367
...we found what I want.
154
00:06:14,367 --> 00:06:15,800
This is real close.
155
00:06:16,467 --> 00:06:19,300
I want a jade
glass countertop.
156
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,800
-That's what I want.
-[MJ] Okay.
157
00:06:24,266 --> 00:06:27,166
And since I can't find that,
I can't source that,
158
00:06:27,166 --> 00:06:31,100
what if we take
a piece of MDF,
159
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:33,233
we build a countertop
out of it,
160
00:06:34,467 --> 00:06:36,300
we paint it this color,
161
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:38,300
and then, we do a resin pour.
162
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:39,300
-[Sean] Painted?
-[Karen] Yeah.
163
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,567
So that way,
it looks like glass,
164
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:43,200
-'cause it's super shiny
and smooth.
-[MJ] Okay.
165
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,266
And it's got that depth
from the resin.
166
00:06:45,266 --> 00:06:46,667
That's the idea.
167
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:48,800
So I'd like
to audition that idea.
168
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,667
Yeah, we definitely need
to try that idea out.
169
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:53,133
-That's gonna be
an interesting experience.
-So, I have some paint
170
00:06:53,867 --> 00:06:55,066
and I have some resin.
171
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:56,000
You guys up for it?
172
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,166
-Not really.
-[MJ] Yeah.
173
00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:01,367
I mean, this sounds
pretty cut and dry.
174
00:07:01,367 --> 00:07:02,800
I don't see
anything going wrong.
175
00:07:03,567 --> 00:07:04,967
[snickering and laughing]
176
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:08,266
-Yeah, no. Nobody.
I'm in this by myself.
-Oh, boy.
177
00:07:08,266 --> 00:07:10,166
You have asked
my opinion several times.
178
00:07:10,166 --> 00:07:13,100
-Sometimes you just tell me
to shut up and move on.
-[chuckles]
179
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,667
And sometimes
you take in consideration.
180
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:16,767
-That's why I try to keep
my mouth shut about it.
-Right.
181
00:07:16,767 --> 00:07:21,300
It really makes me
want to leave those
collar ties exposed.
182
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:22,667
I don't think that's somewhere
to spend money.
183
00:07:22,667 --> 00:07:23,433
You don't think so?
184
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:26,467
[Sean] Holy crap.
That's a lot.
185
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:29,600
[Karen] I know, right?
This is beyond
my wildest imagination.
186
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,967
Yeah, you gotta do something
different with front door.
187
00:07:31,967 --> 00:07:35,166
I don't think that's
an acceptable color
for anywhere.
188
00:07:35,166 --> 00:07:38,166
That's what you call
keeping your mouth shut?
[laughs]
189
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,467
-You have not kept
your mouth shut once.
-No.
190
00:07:40,467 --> 00:07:42,600
And that's fine.
I don't expect you to.
191
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,667
I've worked with resin,
I did my research
and I think this will work.
192
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:48,767
Best of all,
super budget-friendly.
193
00:07:48,767 --> 00:07:50,467
This is something
that's gonna be in here
194
00:07:50,467 --> 00:07:51,900
-for a long time.
-[Karen] Right.
195
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:53,066
Doing it right the first time
196
00:07:53,066 --> 00:07:54,767
-is gonna be, uh...
-And that's why
I did my research
197
00:07:54,767 --> 00:07:58,400
to find out what kind of resin
I should use for a countertop.
198
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,700
Because I discovered there's
different kind of resins
199
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:01,867
-for different kinds of jobs.
-There's softer resins.
200
00:08:01,867 --> 00:08:05,266
-Right.
-So, what I'm hearing
is things could go wrong.
201
00:08:05,266 --> 00:08:06,567
[Karen] But they're not
gonna go wrong.
202
00:08:06,567 --> 00:08:07,400
[Sean] Everything could
go wrong.
203
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,100
[Karen] It's all gonna
go perfectly.
204
00:08:09,767 --> 00:08:11,100
I have all the ideas.
205
00:08:11,467 --> 00:08:12,767
They're not all good.
206
00:08:12,767 --> 00:08:14,767
Uh, but there are some ideas
207
00:08:14,767 --> 00:08:18,166
that I want to incorporate
into this house
because they're me.
208
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:21,166
And it doesn't matter
if anybody else
likes these elements,
209
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:22,200
'cause it's not for resale.
210
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800
But there are some ideas,
I think they're good,
211
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,967
turns out they're not.
212
00:08:26,967 --> 00:08:29,000
Pour a little bit
and see how far it rolls
213
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,266
and then pour
a little bit more.
214
00:08:30,266 --> 00:08:32,367
We want it to run
to the edges.
215
00:08:32,367 --> 00:08:34,300
-You know what? Just--
-[Sean] How do you get
the bubbles out of it?
216
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:35,600
This is how you get
the bubbles out.
217
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,967
I would actually use
a heat gun, not a hairdryer.
218
00:08:38,967 --> 00:08:41,100
-Heat gun, not hairdryer.
-But a hairdryer works.
219
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:42,667
[hairdryer blowing air]
220
00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:48,533
The idea is the heat
from the hair dryer
decreases the viscosity
221
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:50,667
of the resin.
222
00:08:50,667 --> 00:08:52,300
-[hairdryer blowing air]
-[tapping]
223
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,200
and allows the bubbles
to come to the surface
and break.
224
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,500
[Sean] Is it flammable?
225
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:02,033
-[MJ] Uh...
-[Karen] Uh... yes.
To an extent.
226
00:09:02,867 --> 00:09:04,433
[Sean] Like, what
could really go wrong?
227
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:07,367
Should I get out of your way?
228
00:09:07,367 --> 00:09:09,734
-I don't know what I'm doing.
-I'll go ahead
and get out of your way.
229
00:09:10,567 --> 00:09:11,166
[Karen] Okay.
230
00:09:11,166 --> 00:09:12,400
[hairdryer blowing air]
231
00:09:13,967 --> 00:09:15,200
So, do you see the bubbles?
232
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,900
-Yeah, I see all the bubbles.
-So, you wanna start far away.
233
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,467
Okay, now come in close.
234
00:09:20,467 --> 00:09:21,500
[blow torch hissing]
235
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,567
Okay, you're close enough.
236
00:09:23,567 --> 00:09:24,634
[Sean] Holy [bleep]!
237
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:28,900
[Karen] So, do you
see the bubbles?
238
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:32,567
-Yeah, I see all the bubbles.
-So, you wanna start far away.
239
00:09:32,567 --> 00:09:36,700
Okay, now come in close
and watch what happens
as you get closer.
240
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,900
-And when you
see bubbles start to pop--
-[Sean] Holy [bleep]!
241
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:40,600
[Karen] Yeah. Now, there...
You're close enough.
242
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,934
Do you see what you're doing?
243
00:09:42,467 --> 00:09:43,800
[Sean] Yo!
244
00:09:44,767 --> 00:09:46,266
[Karen] You got rid
of all the bubbles, baby.
245
00:09:46,266 --> 00:09:47,867
Look at that. I love this.
246
00:09:47,867 --> 00:09:48,800
[MJ] Me too.
247
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
-[Sean] Is this sandable?
-Oh, absolutely.
248
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,667
Like if we had
some imperfections
and it is fixable?
249
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:56,266
So, you can sand it,
250
00:09:56,266 --> 00:09:57,567
but when you put
the top coat on,
251
00:09:57,567 --> 00:09:59,166
it's all shiny
and glossy again.
252
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:00,300
-[MJ whispers] Whoa.
-[Karen] It's magical.
253
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,266
Gentlemen, you are
witnessing history.
254
00:10:02,266 --> 00:10:06,000
Because it is almost never
that I have an idea,
255
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,266
I get my supplies list,
I do my audition
256
00:10:08,266 --> 00:10:10,967
and it comes out exactly
how it was in my head.
257
00:10:10,967 --> 00:10:13,600
So, we've got a good idea
of what you want.
258
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,100
[Karen] Yeah.
So we got our green.
259
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:16,934
[MJ] Nailed it.
260
00:10:16,934 --> 00:10:20,166
But what about
it's a little friend?
261
00:10:20,166 --> 00:10:22,467
[MJ] This might be
a reel it in moment.
262
00:10:22,467 --> 00:10:25,000
-'Cause I feel like
we landed on this...
-[Karen] Yeah.
263
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,467
-[MJ] ...perfectly.
-And I think this is beautiful
264
00:10:27,467 --> 00:10:28,867
-but it's very intense.
-[MJ] Mmm-hmm.
265
00:10:28,867 --> 00:10:31,000
And I think these two
can be friends
266
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,600
-if this one's
whispering a little more.
-[MJ] Yeah.
267
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,367
-How does our
auxiliary designer feel?
-[MJ] Super...
268
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:35,867
-Look at him
over there. [laughs]
-[laughing]
269
00:10:35,867 --> 00:10:37,734
-[Sean] It's incredible.
-[Karen] I mean, it's...
270
00:10:38,266 --> 00:10:39,634
[snickers]
271
00:10:39,634 --> 00:10:42,367
We've got a lot
of decisions to make,
a lot of things to work out.
272
00:10:42,367 --> 00:10:44,100
So, MJ's gonna
head back to Indy
273
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:45,900
and get started
on all of that.
274
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,667
And, uh, I have a very
important meeting tomorrow,
275
00:10:48,667 --> 00:10:50,500
so I'm gonna hang around
for a few more days.
276
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:52,467
And this has been
very encouraging.
277
00:10:52,467 --> 00:10:54,200
I'm excited to see it
all come together.
278
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:02,467
I can't wait for you guys
to meet Madison.
She is so cute.
279
00:11:02,467 --> 00:11:06,200
[Karen] Today I am meeting
Craig and Nena
from Welcome Home Angel
280
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,967
at a client's house.
281
00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:08,800
Won't y'all come in?
282
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,066
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
283
00:11:10,066 --> 00:11:11,600
My friends, this is Madison.
284
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Hi, Madison.
285
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,900
-Hi.
-This is my daughter, Madison.
286
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:18,166
Welcome Home Angel
is an organization
in Wilmington, North Carolina
287
00:11:18,166 --> 00:11:21,300
that creates spaces
for kids with special needs
288
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:25,467
by helping a kid's
space function,
based on their needs, better.
289
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:27,266
I found out
about the organization
290
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:29,467
at an event
my friend organized.
291
00:11:29,467 --> 00:11:31,166
I went to their fundraiser
292
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:33,400
and I just feel like
I wanna do more.
293
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,700
Just like we helped
neighborhoods back in Indy,
294
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:38,367
I want to give to my community
here in Wilmington.
295
00:11:38,367 --> 00:11:40,400
And so,
finding these connections
296
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,100
and being part
of these organizations
297
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:43,867
is what makes you
part of the community.
298
00:11:43,867 --> 00:11:45,734
Well, tell me about your room.
299
00:11:47,166 --> 00:11:50,400
Do you think there's
any problems in this room
you wanna solve?
300
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,200
-Yep, my books.
-[Karen] Your books.
301
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,367
-[Madison] My shoes.
-[Karen] Your shoes.
302
00:11:53,367 --> 00:11:54,900
-[man] Problems. Problems.
-[woman laughs]
303
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:59,166
-And I'm looking at a really
fantastic jewelry collection.
-[woman] Mmm-hmm.
304
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:00,567
And I noticed
over my shoulder,
305
00:12:00,567 --> 00:12:02,667
-there's even more jewelry.
-[woman] Yes.
306
00:12:02,667 --> 00:12:05,166
It's very hard for Madison
to stay organized.
307
00:12:05,166 --> 00:12:08,266
We're trying to work
very hard on her
being more independent.
308
00:12:08,266 --> 00:12:10,667
And we are working
on fire safety
309
00:12:10,667 --> 00:12:12,867
and keeping
a fire escape route.
310
00:12:12,867 --> 00:12:14,567
And her floor has to be clean
311
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,467
-for her to be able
to get out the door.
-[Karen] Sure.
312
00:12:16,467 --> 00:12:20,000
The sound of rain
really agitates her.
313
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,967
There's different ways
we can address
noises like that.
314
00:12:21,967 --> 00:12:23,900
So maybe like
a white sound machine.
315
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:25,400
Do you like the sound
of the ocean?
316
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,000
-They have different waves.
-It might be nice.
317
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,834
-Mmm-hmm.
-[Craig] Yeah?
318
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:28,934
Can you talk to us
a little bit more
319
00:12:28,934 --> 00:12:30,367
about some of
the textural things you like?
320
00:12:30,367 --> 00:12:31,867
What kind of touches
do you like?
321
00:12:31,867 --> 00:12:33,133
-Um, my cards.
-Her cards.
322
00:12:33,133 --> 00:12:35,400
[Nena] Her cards?
You like the crunchy sound
that they make?
323
00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:37,066
Yeah.
324
00:12:37,066 --> 00:12:39,967
So, Madison appears
to be very attached
to her personal possessions.
325
00:12:39,967 --> 00:12:42,767
The Welcome Home Angel team
is going to help her declutter
326
00:12:42,767 --> 00:12:46,300
and we're gonna start
coming up with some ideas
for storage solutions.
327
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:48,467
And also personalizing
the space for her.
328
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:50,467
Because we definitely
still want it to be Madison.
329
00:12:50,467 --> 00:12:51,367
[Karen] That's right.
330
00:12:51,367 --> 00:12:54,000
Building a house for me
is a lovely thing.
331
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,767
I'm really happy
that I'm doing it.
332
00:12:55,767 --> 00:12:59,000
But when we do things
for other people,
333
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,867
that's when we're whole.
334
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:04,500
I really appreciate
you taking the time
to give me a tour of your room
335
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,100
and tell me about
all the things in it.
336
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:07,600
-Sure.
-[Karen] Sure.
337
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:09,533
[thudding]
338
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:11,367
[hammering]
339
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:15,600
[Karen] For the most part,
this little Wilmington house
340
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,367
is going to be low maintenance
and simple.
341
00:13:18,367 --> 00:13:20,467
But I want the floors
to make a statement.
342
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:23,567
So we're installing wide,
white oak plank floors.
343
00:13:23,567 --> 00:13:26,266
And I have an idea
how I can incorporate
344
00:13:26,266 --> 00:13:28,767
the sea glass blue
into the house.
345
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:30,166
Good morning.
346
00:13:30,166 --> 00:13:32,200
Oh, look at the little
fluffy doggy.
347
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Holy [bleep].
348
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,900
-I mean, crap.
-[laughing]
349
00:13:37,867 --> 00:13:38,934
[Sean] What are you doing?
350
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,800
-Holy crap!
-[laughing]
351
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,734
[Sean] What are you doing?
352
00:13:44,734 --> 00:13:46,767
[Karen] I've put blue stain
on the floor.
353
00:13:46,767 --> 00:13:48,667
-Blue's--
-In a spot we can cover up.
354
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:51,166
Yeah, this is why I picked--
This is the laundry room.
355
00:13:51,166 --> 00:13:52,567
There's gonna be a washer
and dryer in here.
356
00:13:52,567 --> 00:13:56,166
If this is not what I want,
I can cover it.
No one will ever see it.
357
00:13:56,166 --> 00:13:58,200
From the day
I bought this house,
358
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,500
it said,
"I want to be happy colors."
359
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:02,300
So I'm like, "Okay,
we're gonna make you happy."
360
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,867
But you know,
the walls are white,
the ceiling's white,
361
00:14:04,867 --> 00:14:06,700
so there's a good balance.
362
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:09,767
I don't feel like
the color feels overwhelming.
363
00:14:09,767 --> 00:14:10,967
See this? Look in this bucket?
364
00:14:12,266 --> 00:14:14,133
-Do you see that?
-[Sean] You didn't
mix that very well.
365
00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:16,100
That's the whole point.
366
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,600
-So, I add fabric dye
to wood stain.
-[Sean groans]
367
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,567
-And even though
they're both water based...
-[Sean] Hold on.
368
00:14:21,567 --> 00:14:23,867
...they don't completely mix.
369
00:14:23,867 --> 00:14:26,600
It's gonna go
on the floor uneven.
370
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,300
It's kind of like water,
shimmery, it's not even.
371
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:32,600
[Sean] I'm a little concerned
about this situation.
372
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,767
So we've spent a lot of time
busting knuckles
373
00:14:38,767 --> 00:14:42,233
-on putting in
this wide plank flooring.
-[Karen] Yes.
374
00:14:42,967 --> 00:14:46,900
Blue fabric dye
for your concoction?
375
00:14:47,667 --> 00:14:48,967
That was shocking.
376
00:14:48,967 --> 00:14:50,567
-I called MJ...
-[Sean] Okay.
377
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:52,133
...just to run it by him
378
00:14:52,567 --> 00:14:54,600
and he loves it.
379
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,367
It is your house.
I will support you
in any way what you do.
380
00:14:57,367 --> 00:15:01,266
It's like some people
like pepperoni on their pizza
and some people don't.
381
00:15:01,266 --> 00:15:02,367
Either way is okay.
382
00:15:02,367 --> 00:15:04,567
And that's why
there's a color story.
383
00:15:04,567 --> 00:15:06,133
There's a big color story.
384
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:07,900
[Karen gasps]
385
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,533
No. These are my hopes
and dreams right here.
386
00:15:11,467 --> 00:15:13,066
-Oh, boy.
-[Karen] Oh.
387
00:15:13,066 --> 00:15:18,100
You've done things in the past
that have surprised me.
So, your call, your house.
388
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:19,400
[upbeat music playing]
389
00:15:25,367 --> 00:15:26,667
[Karen] Before I leave town,
390
00:15:26,667 --> 00:15:29,367
I want to see
my kitchen countertop vision
come to life.
391
00:15:29,367 --> 00:15:32,000
So, with the cabinets in
and stained that
seashell gray color,
392
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,667
we're cutting out the counters
from furniture-grade plywood,
painting them
393
00:15:35,667 --> 00:15:38,300
and as soon as I see
that resin going down,
394
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,900
I know these are
the sea glass counters
of my dreams.
395
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,567
But I have to get back to Indy
396
00:15:43,567 --> 00:15:46,700
because there is someone
very special I have to visit.
397
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:48,600
[upbeat music continues]
398
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,367
[Karen] My youngest, Kelsy,
399
00:15:52,367 --> 00:15:55,667
has been busy to get ready
for the new baby.
400
00:15:55,667 --> 00:15:57,667
And, uh, baby's here.
401
00:15:57,667 --> 00:15:59,900
Evelyn made her appearance
a couple of weeks ago
402
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:04,567
and It just reinforces
that something's
out of balance here.
403
00:16:04,567 --> 00:16:07,000
And I have a desire
to be in Wilmington.
404
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
But I have a new baby
405
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,166
and my son Casmir
and his wife and four kids
moved into my main house
406
00:16:13,166 --> 00:16:15,300
and I live
in the carriage house.
407
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,867
So, at this point,
I've made a decision,
408
00:16:17,867 --> 00:16:21,467
I'm going to spend some time
at the Wilmington house
and some time in Indianapolis.
409
00:16:21,467 --> 00:16:25,867
And I want to create
some spaces
in the Wilmington house
410
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:28,800
that will be intriguing
for grandkids.
411
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:31,967
-Well, hello.
-Hey, a little greeter.
412
00:16:31,967 --> 00:16:33,600
-[Karen laughing] I know.
-[Cory] Oh, my goodness.
413
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,400
It's the only reason
she wanted to go outside
414
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,600
-was to say hello to you.
-[Cory laughing]
415
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,767
[Karen] While I'm back
in Indy,
416
00:16:37,767 --> 00:16:40,000
there is a project
that I'm doing,
417
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,767
so Cory's gonna come over
and I'm very excited.
418
00:16:42,767 --> 00:16:45,467
Because he and I
have the most fun
crafting together.
419
00:16:45,467 --> 00:16:47,033
Come here. Let me show you.
420
00:16:47,367 --> 00:16:49,700
-Uh...
-Oh, how fun.
421
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:50,867
So, where's this going?
422
00:16:50,867 --> 00:16:53,400
This is for, uh, a young lady.
423
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,767
And there's an organization
in Wilmington
called Welcome Home Angel.
424
00:16:56,767 --> 00:16:59,700
-And they redo spaces
for kids with special needs.
-[Cory] Yeah.
425
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:03,367
[Karen] And so,
Madison loves the ocean.
She thinks it's calming.
426
00:17:03,367 --> 00:17:07,367
And my job
is to make a collage.
So, we're doing the ocean.
427
00:17:07,367 --> 00:17:08,467
[Cory] Oh, that's fun.
428
00:17:08,467 --> 00:17:10,266
[Karen] So, I really,
really like the tissue paper.
429
00:17:10,266 --> 00:17:12,367
-[Cory] Uh-huh.
-I like the little sprinkles.
430
00:17:12,367 --> 00:17:14,266
-Oh, my God.
-I like the Mylar.
431
00:17:14,266 --> 00:17:19,767
Making this textural
so that it invites touch,
is perfect for her.
432
00:17:19,767 --> 00:17:20,800
This is fun.
433
00:17:21,467 --> 00:17:22,533
[upbeat music playing]
434
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,667
One thing about
projecting with you
435
00:17:27,667 --> 00:17:30,100
is I always wear it
by the time I'm, like, done.
436
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:31,066
-[Karen] Yeah.
-That's for sure.
437
00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:33,900
If you don't leave
with some glitter on you,
438
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,333
-I'll be very disappointed.
-[Cory laughs]
439
00:17:37,166 --> 00:17:38,867
[Karen] It never goes away.
440
00:17:38,867 --> 00:17:41,900
Spending this time with Cory
just reminds me how much
441
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:44,000
I love the people
here in Indianapolis.
442
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,467
And Kelsy's had her baby.
443
00:17:45,467 --> 00:17:49,200
So we just need to move
all the people to Wilmington
is what we need to do.
444
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,967
And then, everything's fine.
445
00:17:50,967 --> 00:17:53,100
Just take the baby.
[whispers] Oh, she's so sweet.
446
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:54,700
You think Kelsy's gonna
allow for that?
447
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,033
Uh, no.
448
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:58,367
-All right.
We need to quit touching it.
-Yes.
449
00:17:58,367 --> 00:18:01,000
-Let's do our stand back
and look at it.
-Here.
450
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,834
Look at your cloud back here.
451
00:18:01,834 --> 00:18:04,066
-[Karen] Oh!
-[Cory] Whoo-wee, bubba!
452
00:18:04,066 --> 00:18:06,166
Those need
a little bit of lavender.
453
00:18:06,166 --> 00:18:07,433
So I feel like
we're real close.
454
00:18:07,433 --> 00:18:10,266
I have a few things
to move to Wilmington
on my next trip,
455
00:18:10,266 --> 00:18:11,800
so I'll just
take this with me.
456
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,500
This is adorable.
457
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,400
-And um...
-We're doing good work.
458
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,800
-[laughing]
-Peace out.
459
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,400
-Thank you so much.
-All right, we'll see you.
460
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,800
-Thank you. All right, bye.
-Bye, Adelle.
461
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:26,900
We have a bunch of stuff
462
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:30,233
-that needs to move
from Indy to Wilmington.
-[man] I see.
463
00:18:31,767 --> 00:18:37,400
-So exactly how long of a ride
did I just sign up for?
-[Karen laughing]
464
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,166
I like that you signed up
without any knowledge
of timing.
465
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,967
I have a bunch
of stuff in storage
466
00:18:42,967 --> 00:18:46,800
that needs to be moved
from storage
to the Wilmington house.
467
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,600
And I have a friend.
468
00:18:49,066 --> 00:18:50,433
-[laughs]
-[sighs]
469
00:18:50,433 --> 00:18:53,600
Yeah, Karen got
the last boat out of me
helping people move town.
470
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,767
-Uh, 'cause I am over it.
-[laughing]
471
00:18:55,767 --> 00:18:57,767
But this one comes
with a fun road trip.
472
00:18:57,767 --> 00:19:00,900
-Look at that.
-And then, do you wanna
do one here?
473
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:02,467
-[Austin] I think we do.
-[Karen] Just why not?
474
00:19:02,467 --> 00:19:03,800
-There we go.
-[Austin] Look at that.
475
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,500
All right.
476
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,900
All your stuff's
going nowhere.
477
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,767
-Well, it's going
to Wilmington, but it's not...
-It's going to Wilmington.
478
00:19:08,767 --> 00:19:10,100
[funky music playing]
479
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,767
And my rules
for the road trip are,
480
00:19:12,767 --> 00:19:14,367
we stop whenever you want,
481
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:16,066
for whatever you want.
482
00:19:16,066 --> 00:19:17,166
Like, you need to go
to the bathroom?
483
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:18,266
We stop,
we go to the bathroom.
484
00:19:18,266 --> 00:19:20,100
You need a drink,
you need snacks,
you need food.
485
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:21,133
Whatever you want.
486
00:19:21,133 --> 00:19:22,767
You see some pretty
little thing you're like,
487
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:24,567
"Let's go look
at that." Great.
488
00:19:24,567 --> 00:19:26,333
[upbeat music playing]
489
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,100
[Karen] It's not very many
people that I invite
to the Wilmington house.
490
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:41,266
I'm glad you decided
to be part of my little club.
491
00:19:41,266 --> 00:19:42,834
This is very exciting for me.
492
00:19:44,066 --> 00:19:45,100
[car door closes]
493
00:19:45,667 --> 00:19:47,467
[Austin] I like it.
Looks good.
494
00:19:47,467 --> 00:19:50,200
[Karen] Welcome to my
little house in Wilmington.
495
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,467
You walk in,
you've got stairs going up.
496
00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:53,433
And then...
497
00:19:53,433 --> 00:19:55,900
You gotta see this.
You'll appreciate this.
498
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:59,000
So we didn't
cut the stove out.
499
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,800
But imagine
there's a stove here.
500
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,200
We made this countertop.
501
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,767
[Austin] I was gonna say,
I think I remember
you talking about this.
502
00:20:04,767 --> 00:20:07,100
-The floors are covered
down here.
-Yeah.
503
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:08,500
But I can show you upstairs.
504
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,266
-Okay. All right.
-And you can see
the floor there.
505
00:20:10,266 --> 00:20:11,634
Here, come on up.
506
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,266
So, you get a better sense
of the blue floor up here.
507
00:20:16,266 --> 00:20:18,600
[Austin] That is uh... blue.
508
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,500
It is blue, isn't it?
509
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:22,000
-You brought
the ocean upstairs.
-Yes.
510
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,233
-You get it!
-Yeah.
511
00:20:24,467 --> 00:20:25,800
[birds chirping]
512
00:20:28,166 --> 00:20:29,300
[Karen] Just goes
right on the wall.
513
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:30,667
-[Austin] Each one sits on it.
-[Karen] Just like that.
514
00:20:30,667 --> 00:20:31,967
And then,
this just sits on it.
515
00:20:31,967 --> 00:20:35,667
And if you're not using it,
you can flip it
and it'll be flat.
516
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:37,166
Cory and I took a tour,
we were at the Battleship
517
00:20:37,166 --> 00:20:38,867
-and there were
a couple of things...
-Hmm.
518
00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:41,400
...that have turned into
projects to do with Austin.
519
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,600
One of the things
to save space
520
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,600
is stools that push up
under the counter
521
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,033
-completely out of the way.
-[Austin] Yeah.
522
00:20:48,033 --> 00:20:51,800
So, I thought if I could
find similar stools,
that swivel out of the way,
523
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,100
that would be fantastic.
524
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:57,567
I'm going to hold this
while you put that screw
all the way in.
525
00:20:57,567 --> 00:20:58,834
[drill whirring]
526
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:00,800
I don't know why Cory
didn't get stuck
527
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,867
-with the projects.
-He came down here
and did research
528
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:02,567
for me to work?
529
00:21:02,567 --> 00:21:04,133
-Yes. [laughs]
-That's rude.
530
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,500
Oh, that's nice.
531
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:11,867
So what I think
is important in life...
532
00:21:11,867 --> 00:21:13,600
-Mmm-hmm.
-...is not things,
533
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,767
-but experiences.
-I'd agree.
534
00:21:15,767 --> 00:21:18,166
[Karen] And I have things
in this house
535
00:21:18,166 --> 00:21:21,367
-that will be experiences
for the grandkids.
-[Austin] Mmm-hmm.
536
00:21:21,367 --> 00:21:24,967
So, the mural will be
an experience for them.
537
00:21:24,967 --> 00:21:26,467
The little spinny stools.
538
00:21:26,467 --> 00:21:28,500
I think they're gonna have
a great time with that.
539
00:21:29,166 --> 00:21:30,867
Who wouldn't?
I had fun on it.
540
00:21:30,867 --> 00:21:32,767
Yeah, it's, uh, something that
you're not gonna get anywhere
541
00:21:32,767 --> 00:21:34,300
-but your grandma's house.
-Right.
542
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:36,100
I feel like the kids
are just gonna...
543
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:36,834
This is all they're gonna do.
544
00:21:36,834 --> 00:21:37,834
Yeah. Just come
and just swing.
545
00:21:37,834 --> 00:21:39,266
I think the grandkids
are gonna come in
546
00:21:39,266 --> 00:21:41,700
and once they know
that this is what it does,
547
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:43,333
that's the end.
548
00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:44,800
That's all they're gonna do
is they're gonna
swivel on the stools.
549
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,200
Thank you very much
for the help with the install,
550
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,667
but clean up to the extent
you need to feel presentable.
551
00:21:49,667 --> 00:21:51,000
Because I have
a surprise for you.
552
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,300
We're gonna go have
some fun tonight.
553
00:21:52,467 --> 00:21:53,634
Okay.
554
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,367
[Karen] How are you
feeling about this?
555
00:21:59,367 --> 00:22:00,900
-[Austin] We'll see. [exhales]
-[Karen] Okay.
556
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,000
Well, hello. Hello.
557
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,266
-Hi, guys. How are you?
-Hi.
558
00:22:04,266 --> 00:22:05,700
-Welcome.
-Nice to meet you.
559
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:06,467
-Thank you.
-Welcome.
560
00:22:06,467 --> 00:22:07,767
So one of the things
561
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:09,467
-that you don't know
about North Carolina...
-[Austin] Mmm-hmm.
562
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:12,600
...and Wilmington
specifically,
is there is a dance here
563
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,266
that's a big deal.
564
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,266
It's called shag dancing.
565
00:22:16,266 --> 00:22:18,400
I thought it would be fun
to learn together.
566
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,000
-You think?
-Uh... [exhales] Man.
567
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:25,900
There is a dance here.
It's called shag dancing.
568
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:27,667
I thought it would be fun
to learn together.
569
00:22:27,667 --> 00:22:30,033
Uh... [exhales] Man.
570
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,800
Very popular dance, very easy.
571
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,300
Any music, any dance partner.
Very friendly.
572
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:38,700
[Karen] That sounds
right up our alley.
573
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:40,667
It is a variety of swing
574
00:22:40,667 --> 00:22:44,367
that is specific
to the North Carolina coast
575
00:22:44,367 --> 00:22:47,166
and that's why
the dig your feet
in the sand move,
576
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,900
because we dance it
on the beach.
577
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:50,000
If I'm gonna
live in Wilmington,
578
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,467
I need to do
the Wilmington dance.
579
00:22:51,467 --> 00:22:52,266
So, that's why we're here.
580
00:22:52,266 --> 00:22:53,567
-All right.
-[swing music playing]
581
00:22:53,567 --> 00:22:56,000
-[Karen] All right. [laughing]
-[Alex] We're gonna dance.
582
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,367
Right and you're gonna
have three steps.
583
00:22:58,367 --> 00:23:00,166
One, two, three.
584
00:23:00,166 --> 00:23:03,266
One, two, three.
One, two. Good job.
585
00:23:03,266 --> 00:23:05,100
-[Karen] She was
fancier than this.
-[music slows down and stops]
586
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:08,266
-[Alex] She done it longer.
-[Karen laughing]
587
00:23:08,266 --> 00:23:11,600
-When I come,
I work until it's dark.
-[swing music playing]
588
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,300
[Karen] I haven't really
gotten to have much fun yet.
589
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:16,900
This shag dancing
is the first fun I've had.
590
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:19,066
One, two, three. Rock, step.
591
00:23:19,066 --> 00:23:21,867
One, two, three.
One, two, three. Rock, step.
592
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:23,767
-One, two, three.
One, two, three.
-You did it! [laughs]
593
00:23:23,767 --> 00:23:24,900
-[Austin] There it is.
-Rock, step.
594
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,900
-[Alex] He is light
on his feet.
-Uh-huh. [chuckles]
595
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:34,166
-Nice.
-[laughing]
596
00:23:34,166 --> 00:23:35,100
There. See?
597
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:37,000
-[Alex] Excellent. Excellent.
-[clapping]
598
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,266
And I feel like
that could be one
of my Wilmington activities,
599
00:23:40,266 --> 00:23:42,467
is on a Friday night, show up
600
00:23:42,467 --> 00:23:45,367
and just find people
who will tolerate
dancing with me.
601
00:23:45,367 --> 00:23:47,266
-I know, 'cause--
-We're gonna
give it a try. [laughing]
602
00:23:47,266 --> 00:23:48,300
-Yeah.
-Look at him.
603
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,967
[Austin] Small steps.
604
00:23:49,967 --> 00:23:51,600
[Karen] This makes me
so happy.
605
00:23:56,767 --> 00:23:59,300
While Austin and I
were out having fun yesterday,
606
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:01,200
Sean was busy
building the wall frames
607
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,567
for the Murphy beds
I want to do
in the upstairs loft.
608
00:24:03,567 --> 00:24:05,000
They'll be fun
for the grandkids
609
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,367
and they were inspired
by the beds Cory and I saw
in the Battleship.
610
00:24:08,367 --> 00:24:09,834
[saw whirring]
611
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:16,367
So basically, this is the bed.
612
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:18,700
-It folds over...
-[Austin] Yeah.
613
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,900
...and gets chained up
and it'll be angled down.
614
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:23,900
-[Austin] So then, yeah,
we do need a beefy hinge.
-[Sean] Yeah.
615
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:25,100
[Austin] 'Cause that'll be
the only support
616
00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:26,467
-on that backside.
-Yeah.
617
00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:28,967
-I would not advise me
or you getting on it.
-[Austin] No. No, no.
618
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,000
For a child,
it sounds perfect.
619
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:31,967
[Austin] Yeah, that's true.
620
00:24:31,967 --> 00:24:33,266
[Sean] And these are
for grandkids, correct?
621
00:24:33,266 --> 00:24:34,433
-[Karen] Yes.
-Yeah.
622
00:24:34,433 --> 00:24:37,767
We build a platform
that a mattress
will sit down in.
623
00:24:37,767 --> 00:24:41,967
So, it's a piece of plywood
and it's got a lip
of two by fours.
624
00:24:41,967 --> 00:24:45,100
And then, we put the hinges
and we put the platform
625
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,667
and we put the hooks
and we put the chains
626
00:24:47,667 --> 00:24:50,300
and then,
the face of the Murphy bed
627
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:51,600
has got plywood
all the way around.
628
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,433
All right. Move the box.
629
00:24:53,967 --> 00:24:55,133
So, when you hinge it up,
630
00:24:55,967 --> 00:24:57,500
it looks like a wall.
631
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,934
[Austin] Mmm.
632
00:24:59,934 --> 00:25:01,200
Okay, that was better
than I thought
it was gonna be.
633
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Okay, all right.
Well, let's leave it
down for now.
634
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,667
You guys could not
have built this any better.
This is perfect.
635
00:25:07,667 --> 00:25:11,266
But my idea for this space
was, it's bonus.
636
00:25:11,266 --> 00:25:12,767
I can put my sewing machine
up here.
637
00:25:12,767 --> 00:25:14,500
I can put my art supplies
up here.
638
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:16,767
I can do whatever I want.
It's not a place
that people go.
639
00:25:16,767 --> 00:25:18,400
Now, people are gonna go here.
640
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,900
Now I have to do
something with it.
641
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:23,066
If the grandkids come,
we play a lot of board games.
642
00:25:23,066 --> 00:25:26,367
So, I think what we need
is a board game situation.
643
00:25:26,367 --> 00:25:27,700
[Austin] Hmm.
I think it looks pretty good.
644
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,300
I'm feeling pretty good.
645
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:31,900
[Sean] Looks good, feel good.
646
00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:33,233
Sean made it beautiful.
647
00:25:33,233 --> 00:25:35,934
When it's all painted,
white like the wall,
it's gonna disappear.
648
00:25:36,166 --> 00:25:36,834
Nice work.
649
00:25:36,834 --> 00:25:38,567
I'm very excited about this.
650
00:25:38,567 --> 00:25:41,900
Well, I'm happy
to have come down
and helped a little bit.
651
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:46,100
It was nice to be able to come
and see a good bulk
of progress happen.
652
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:49,000
To see you do it
by yourself 800 miles away,
653
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,367
manage, split time
back and forth is very cool.
654
00:25:51,367 --> 00:25:52,967
But coming down here
and doing this,
655
00:25:52,967 --> 00:25:55,166
-I realized, I'm proving
something to myself.
-[Austin] Mmm-hmm.
656
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:56,800
[Karen] To be able
to have a vision
657
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,133
-and manifest the vision...
-[Austin] Mmm-hmm.
658
00:25:58,133 --> 00:26:01,000
-[Karen] ...and feel like,
I can do this.
-[Austin] Mmm-hmm.
659
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,433
It's kind of nice
to hear you say..
660
00:26:02,433 --> 00:26:05,500
-[Austin] Yeah.
-...that what I'm doing is,
as he uses the word, "cool."
661
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:07,100
-It's cool. It's cool.
-It's cool.
662
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:08,266
[upbeat music playing]
663
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,467
I have a birdcage
and I think each of you
664
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:22,800
needs to make a bird
to go in the birdcage.
665
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,166
How are we
supposed to make a bird?
666
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:25,900
-I'm gonna show you.
-Okay.
667
00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:29,967
Wilmington seems to have
some pretty good
vintage antique places.
668
00:26:29,967 --> 00:26:33,033
I was in one
and here's this birdcage.
669
00:26:33,767 --> 00:26:35,867
Look at this, Adelle.
670
00:26:35,867 --> 00:26:37,867
And it's not vintage,
and it's not antique.
671
00:26:37,867 --> 00:26:39,667
It's just different.
672
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:42,000
Oh, it's even cooler
when you can see
the whole thing.
673
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,400
Look, it's got a little thing
for a bird to sit on.
674
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,300
It's amazing.
675
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:46,667
And I don't know
what I'm gonna do with it
676
00:26:46,667 --> 00:26:48,367
and I don't know
why I'm buying it.
677
00:26:48,367 --> 00:26:50,767
But it's cool,
so now I have it.
678
00:26:50,767 --> 00:26:54,266
I had this idea
that I would like each of you
to decorate a bird
679
00:26:54,266 --> 00:26:56,100
-that I could put
in the birdcage.
-[grandkid] Yeah.
680
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,367
-[Dom] So we're gonna put this
in the Wilmington House.
-[Alexandria] Oh.
681
00:26:58,367 --> 00:26:59,767
-Yes, that's the plan.
-[Dom whispers] Okay.
682
00:26:59,767 --> 00:27:01,500
To put this
in the Wilmington house
683
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,367
-as a little memento.
-[Benjamin] Okay.
Look, the feathers.
684
00:27:04,367 --> 00:27:06,000
[Karen] Oh, yeah!
685
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,400
So this way, when I look
at the birds you decorated,
686
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,667
I remember each
and every one of you
687
00:27:10,667 --> 00:27:12,800
and your special unique
personalities and talents.
688
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,300
Can you put this
on this bird's head
so it looks like a Mohawk?
689
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:17,900
-[Karen] I can.
-[Dom] I'm trying to do it.
690
00:27:18,367 --> 00:27:19,367
[Karen] Okay.
691
00:27:19,367 --> 00:27:22,467
It is so magical to be
at this point in my life
692
00:27:22,467 --> 00:27:25,266
where I can do
what I want with my day.
693
00:27:25,266 --> 00:27:29,166
My biggest struggle
is I miss my grandkids
694
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:30,900
when I'm not in Indy.
I miss them.
695
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,467
And what I've learned
from being in Wilmington
696
00:27:33,467 --> 00:27:38,667
is that when I get unplugged
and I can completely recharge,
697
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:42,100
I bring a better me
back to Indianapolis
698
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:43,767
to be the best grandma
I can be.
699
00:27:43,767 --> 00:27:46,400
What else do we
wanna do to this bird?
Anything else?
700
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,400
-[baby talk]
-[Karen] Are we done
with this bird?
701
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,467
[grunts softly] More.
702
00:27:49,467 --> 00:27:51,367
Do you want more red? Okay.
703
00:27:51,367 --> 00:27:53,900
-How's that?
You happy with that?
-[Benjamin indistinctly]
704
00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:56,300
-[Dom] I'm doing the--
-[Karen laughs]
No, I think we're good.
705
00:27:57,667 --> 00:27:59,934
I love every single
one of these.
706
00:28:03,166 --> 00:28:04,900
After just a short stay
in Indy,
707
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:09,266
I'm heading back to Wilmington
because we are so close
to getting it all wrapped up.
708
00:28:09,266 --> 00:28:11,100
[Sean] I don't know
how I like this.
709
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,266
[Karen] I'm surprising Sean
with a fun pop of color
in the bathroom.
710
00:28:14,266 --> 00:28:17,767
-The rest of the house
has so much personality.
-[Sean] Mmm-hmm.
711
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:20,100
I wanted the bathroom
to have personality.
712
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:22,567
We've got blue floor,
we've got teal toilet,
713
00:28:22,567 --> 00:28:24,467
we've got green vanity
in here.
714
00:28:24,467 --> 00:28:25,500
This bathroom's fun.
715
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:28,367
I see where you're going 100%.
716
00:28:28,367 --> 00:28:30,100
-Couldn't be happier.
-That's all that matters.
717
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:31,967
-I know.
-It really is.
718
00:28:31,967 --> 00:28:34,467
[Karen] While Sean works away
at the remainder
of the punch list,
719
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:36,467
I have a lot to do
over at Maddie's house,
720
00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:38,900
getting ready
for her big reveal tomorrow.
721
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:40,767
We've all talked through
the design of the room,
722
00:28:40,767 --> 00:28:44,000
but they have done a ton
of work behind the scenes.
723
00:28:44,667 --> 00:28:45,500
[Nena] All right,
so what we're gonna do
724
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:47,367
is we're gonna
lay the mattress down
725
00:28:47,367 --> 00:28:49,867
um, opposite or perpendicular
to the way she had it before,
726
00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:51,667
just to make sure
we're gonna have
plenty of room.
727
00:28:51,667 --> 00:28:53,300
While I've been gone,
Welcome Home Angel
728
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:54,967
has been doing
all the heavy lifting.
729
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:56,567
All the furniture,
all the clothes,
730
00:28:56,567 --> 00:28:58,767
everything has been
taken out of the space.
731
00:28:58,767 --> 00:29:01,000
Everything's been sorted
through with Madison
732
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,100
to get rid of the things
she doesn't want anymore.
733
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:04,333
The room has been painted
734
00:29:04,333 --> 00:29:08,033
and now we're ready
to move back in
and get reorganized.
735
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:16,300
Madison is young at heart.
736
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:19,667
So, I wanted
to make her something special
that was youthful,
737
00:29:19,667 --> 00:29:22,467
but also spoke to her needs
and comforted her.
738
00:29:22,467 --> 00:29:24,900
She'll be able to kind of
let her fingers
dance on the water
739
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:26,400
-if she wants to.
-[Karen] Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
740
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,967
You know what?
It looks better in here
741
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:29,567
-than I did it at my house.
-[Nena laughs]
742
00:29:29,567 --> 00:29:31,767
So, Madison got sent
out of the house today.
743
00:29:31,767 --> 00:29:33,767
Door's gonna get locked
when we're all done.
744
00:29:33,767 --> 00:29:35,767
And then tomorrow, same thing.
745
00:29:35,767 --> 00:29:37,500
Madison will get sent
out of the house,
746
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:39,767
we will finish
all the last few things
747
00:29:39,767 --> 00:29:41,233
and then we'll
show it to Madison.
748
00:29:41,233 --> 00:29:44,700
This is a day
Maddie is going to remember
for the rest of her life.
749
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,233
[Nena] Whoo!
750
00:29:49,767 --> 00:29:51,133
[all cheering]
751
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:53,133
[uplifting music playing]
752
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:55,800
-[Craig laughing]
-[Nena] Whoo!
753
00:29:58,567 --> 00:30:02,400
-[Angela] Exciting. Look.
The crowd.
-[laughing]
754
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:06,300
[laughing]
755
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:09,133
[woman] Aw!
756
00:30:09,967 --> 00:30:11,667
[woman 2] Aw!
757
00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:12,800
[Craig] Well,
welcome home, family.
758
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,467
-It's okay. All right.
-Let's go in
and see your room.
759
00:30:14,467 --> 00:30:15,567
[Craig] Come on.
760
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:20,634
-Oh, my gosh.
-[Angela] Oh, my word.
761
00:30:21,767 --> 00:30:23,100
[crowd cheering]
762
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:30,900
-[door opens]
-Oh, my gosh.
763
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:34,266
-[Angela laughs] Oh, my gosh.
-You can go in.
764
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,700
[pleasant music playing]
765
00:30:42,066 --> 00:30:45,000
-Wow!
-Oh, my word.
766
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,900
-[Madison] Wow.
-[Angela] That is amazing.
767
00:30:52,166 --> 00:30:53,700
I don't even know what to say.
768
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:55,233
It's so beautiful.
769
00:30:55,233 --> 00:30:57,700
-I love it.
-[Angela] Look at this
beautiful artwork.
770
00:30:57,700 --> 00:30:59,166
[Madison] Who made
that picture?
771
00:30:59,166 --> 00:31:00,867
[Karen] I made this
with my friend Cory.
772
00:31:00,867 --> 00:31:02,967
And I know that
you like the ocean.
773
00:31:02,967 --> 00:31:05,166
-[Madison] Yes. Yes. Yes.
-And you like
all those themes.
774
00:31:05,166 --> 00:31:06,467
-[Madison] I do.
-[Karen] So that's why
I did the ocean.
775
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:08,467
-[Madison] Thank you.
-[Karen] Oh, thank you.
776
00:31:08,467 --> 00:31:11,166
-I made it so that
you can touch it.
-[Madison] Oh, wow.
777
00:31:11,166 --> 00:31:13,266
-[Karen] It has different...
-[Madison] I love it.
778
00:31:13,266 --> 00:31:15,467
-[Karen] You feel here,
it feels one way.
-[Madison and Angela] Yeah.
779
00:31:15,467 --> 00:31:17,100
-Feel here,
it feels another way.
-[Angela] Bumpy and smooth.
780
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:17,967
[Madison] Yeah.
781
00:31:17,967 --> 00:31:19,367
I don't even know
what to say, y'all.
782
00:31:19,367 --> 00:31:22,266
I really don't.
This is absolutely incredible.
783
00:31:22,266 --> 00:31:25,200
Cleaning everything up
off the floor
for safety reasons,
784
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,767
for organizational reasons,
785
00:31:26,767 --> 00:31:29,967
it just feels like
a relief to Mom.
786
00:31:29,967 --> 00:31:31,967
-Get things organized.
-[Madison] I love it.
787
00:31:31,967 --> 00:31:34,867
[Angela] Look at
your shoes, Maddie.
788
00:31:34,867 --> 00:31:35,900
[Madison] I love it.
789
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,300
-Oh, wow!
-[Angela] Oh, my word!
790
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:40,567
[Madison] Oh, my gosh.
791
00:31:40,567 --> 00:31:42,100
-[Angela] Now she can
find her jewelry.
-[Madison chuckles]
792
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:45,100
-[Karen] Mmm-hmm.
-This is
absolutely incredible.
793
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:47,100
Incredible what you
have done for my child.
794
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:48,367
I want everybody to come in.
795
00:31:48,367 --> 00:31:50,166
-Everybody come in.
-Oh, my God.
796
00:31:50,166 --> 00:31:51,467
[Karen] Everybody come in.
797
00:31:51,467 --> 00:31:53,867
-Thank you for everything.
-Thank you, thank you.
798
00:31:53,867 --> 00:31:56,400
I have counted.
You have more shoes
than I have...
799
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,700
-I know.
-...and my husband together.
800
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:58,900
[both laughing]
801
00:31:58,900 --> 00:32:02,100
I'm a big believer
in small things
can make big changes.
802
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,667
And so getting invited
to be part
of Welcome Home Angel,
803
00:32:05,667 --> 00:32:08,166
it's like I got this
automatic hookup
804
00:32:08,166 --> 00:32:12,100
to making communities better
here in my new community,
805
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,467
which is so satisfying
and gratifying
to be able to be a helper.
806
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:16,900
I just wanna do more.
807
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:18,266
[Madison speaking]
808
00:32:18,266 --> 00:32:20,033
[Karen] Oh, you're welcome.
809
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:23,734
[upbeat music playing]
810
00:32:25,767 --> 00:32:27,000
While I've been busy
with Madison,
811
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,500
things have been
wrapping up at my house.
812
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:30,867
The walls were all painted
a clean white,
813
00:32:30,867 --> 00:32:32,867
since the floors were
such a punch of color.
814
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:34,767
And now we're putting in
my kitchen shelving.
815
00:32:34,767 --> 00:32:35,900
[Sean] Bump it to me.
816
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,900
Bump it, bump it, bump it.
817
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,867
Boom, baby!
818
00:32:39,867 --> 00:32:41,767
[Karen] All right, we're done.
819
00:32:41,767 --> 00:32:43,967
Trim work is finishing up
on the Murphy beds.
820
00:32:43,967 --> 00:32:45,467
[nail gun thumping]

-It's beautiful.
It's so light filled.
-[Karen] Yeah.
981
00:39:14,467 --> 00:39:16,767
-[Caz] It's so colorful.
-[Karen] Is it too much color?
982
00:39:16,767 --> 00:39:18,166
[Caz] No, it's like
the perfect amount.
983
00:39:18,166 --> 00:39:20,100
I think, for you,
it's perfect.
984
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:21,367
[Karen] So, do you want
to see the bedroom?
985
00:39:21,367 --> 00:39:22,400
[Casmir] Yeah.
986
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,033
[funky music playing]
987
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:28,467
-[Caz] Oh.
-Ah! Very nice.
988
00:39:28,467 --> 00:39:29,367
Is this real gold?
989
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,300
-[Casmir] I like this.
-It is real gold.
990
00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:32,900
-[Casmir] Really?
-[Karen] Yes.
991
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,233
-And then bathroom
right behind you.
-[Casmir] Oh, look at that.
992
00:39:40,567 --> 00:39:42,567
-Oh, wow! Look at that.
-Green toilet!
993
00:39:42,567 --> 00:39:44,166
-Yeah, that is
a unique toilet color.
-[Karen laughing]
994
00:39:44,166 --> 00:39:45,667
[Caz] It's a green toilet!
995
00:39:45,667 --> 00:39:48,000
What inspired
the color choice?
996
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,467
You don't see toilets
of this hue very often.
997
00:39:51,467 --> 00:39:53,800
Well, I wanted life
to be easy here,
998
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,000
so I got an acrylic surround.
999
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,667
I didn't do any tile,
I didn't do anything fancy.
1000
00:39:58,667 --> 00:40:02,300
And so, when the opportunity
to buy a green toilet arose,
1001
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:03,567
I thought it kind of makes up
1002
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:05,567
-for the plain white shower.
-[Casmir] That's the
fancy move.
1003
00:40:05,567 --> 00:40:07,200
-[Karen] Yeah,
that's the fancy.
-[Casmir] Got it. Yeah.
1004
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,233
All right.
1005
00:40:08,233 --> 00:40:11,100
You can see that their color
is kind of a theme.
1006
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,100
-Mmm-hmm.
-And if do a little toss,
1007
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:17,567
-you see how the color story
goes all the way outside.
-[Casmir] Oh, yeah.
1008
00:40:17,567 --> 00:40:19,100
-Let's go.
-Let's go outside
and see that.
1009
00:40:19,567 --> 00:40:20,867
Oh, wow. Look at that.
1010
00:40:20,867 --> 00:40:22,300
[upbeat music playing]
1011
00:40:27,467 --> 00:40:28,767
-[Casmir] What's going on
out there?
-[Karen] Yeah.
1012
00:40:28,767 --> 00:40:30,166
Uh, there's a story.
1013
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:31,700
Whoa!
1014
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,100
Oh-ho, that's cool.
1015
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,166
-That's amazing.
-[Karen] I know, right?
1016
00:40:41,166 --> 00:40:43,567
And so, I see this when I make
my coffee in the morning.
1017
00:40:43,567 --> 00:40:45,100
-I see it when I wake up
in the morning...
-[Casmir] That's fun.
1018
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:46,166
[Karen] ...and get out of bed.
1019
00:40:46,166 --> 00:40:47,867
You need a hammock.
That's the one thing you need.
1020
00:40:47,867 --> 00:40:50,667
-Somewhere around here
at some point.
-[Karen] Oh! Yeah.
1021
00:40:50,667 --> 00:40:51,867
Hammock is a great idea.
1022
00:40:51,867 --> 00:40:53,233
[upbeat music playing]
1023
00:41:01,467 --> 00:41:03,233
-This is awesome.
-Whoa!
1024
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:07,166
-[Casmir] Look at this.
-Beds! More bed.
1025
00:41:07,166 --> 00:41:08,767
-[Karen] More beds.
-[Casmir] Wow!
1026
00:41:08,767 --> 00:41:11,400
-Wow! Super cute.
-[Caz] Oh, wow.
1027
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:12,567
Do you like, push it up?
1028
00:41:12,567 --> 00:41:14,700
[Karen] You push it up
and you clip it.
1029
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:16,367
-You can sit on it.
-[Casmir] Give it a try.
1030
00:41:16,367 --> 00:41:18,166
-[Karen] It's pretty comfy.
-Oh!
1031
00:41:18,166 --> 00:41:20,100
[Karen] Adelle would like
to be a there with you.
1032
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:21,400
There you go.
1033
00:41:23,767 --> 00:41:26,367
-[Casmir] Game area.
-And you got all the games.
1034
00:41:26,367 --> 00:41:28,367
-Craft supplies.
-[Casmir] Chess, dominos.
1035
00:41:28,367 --> 00:41:31,000
-Fun.
-[Caz] If Dom comes up here,
1036
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,667
he can't share a bed with me.
1037
00:41:32,667 --> 00:41:33,634
-Everybody gets their own bed.
-[chuckles]
1038
00:41:33,634 --> 00:41:35,400
-But I'm sleeping in that bed.
-[Karen] Okay.
1039
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,166
-You're in that bed?
You're calling that one? Okay.
-[Caz] Yeah.
1040
00:41:37,166 --> 00:41:38,166
[laughing]
1041
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:40,700
What I thought this house
was gonna be for me
1042
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:42,834
has completely changed.
1043
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:47,767
Because I bought this house
to move here and retire here
and live here.
1044
00:41:47,767 --> 00:41:50,767
But I realized I would miss
my family too much.
1045
00:41:50,767 --> 00:41:53,300
I can't live away from that.
1046
00:41:53,867 --> 00:41:56,367
So it's shifted
a little for me
1047
00:41:56,367 --> 00:41:58,734
to where this is gonna be
a place I visit
1048
00:41:59,066 --> 00:42:00,400
with regularity.
1049
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,133
But maybe,
1050
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,133
I can get some
of the grandkids
1051
00:42:05,667 --> 00:42:06,834
on an airplane
1052
00:42:06,834 --> 00:42:09,667
and we spend
a weekend together
and we go to the beach.
1053
00:42:09,667 --> 00:42:11,500
That would be
the best of both worlds.
1054
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:12,700
That would be the best.
1055
00:42:13,266 --> 00:42:14,600
You've been coming
down here a lot.
1056
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,467
We were wondering
what you were doing.
1057
00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:18,266
I thought it might have
all just been made up.
1058
00:42:18,266 --> 00:42:20,266
-You were just hanging out
on the beach.
-[laughing]
1059
00:42:20,266 --> 00:42:22,166
You've clearly
been busy, though.
1060
00:42:22,166 --> 00:42:23,500
And it's very you.
1061
00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:30,066
Like, it's a very unique,
creative, artsy,
light filled place.
1062
00:42:30,066 --> 00:42:31,166
-Aw.
-Yeah.
1063
00:42:31,166 --> 00:42:33,600
I bought this house to retire.
1064
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,233
And what I've learned
in doing this is,
1065
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:40,266
I'm nowhere near done.
1066
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:42,467
All I ever do
when I come here is work.
1067
00:42:42,467 --> 00:42:44,100
-[Caz] Yeah.
-So let's go have some fun.
1068
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:45,133
Yeah. Ghost tour.
1069
00:42:45,133 --> 00:42:46,867
-Yeah, I'm up
for the ghost tour.
-Ghost tour.
1070
00:42:46,867 --> 00:42:48,300
-Ghost tour.
-Oh, my gosh. Yeah!
1071
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:51,900
[Karen] I have amazing
creative ideas.
1072
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:54,166
This is how I create art
in the world.
1073
00:42:54,166 --> 00:42:56,367
And I wanna keep doing it.
I wanna keep doing it.
