1
00:00:02,467 --> 00:00:05,000
[Alison] Tonight on
Windy City Rehab...
2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,667
Gil and Katie
are in the penthouse.
3
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:09,367
[Gil] It's the best of
the mid-'90s,
4
00:00:09,367 --> 00:00:11,100
and there's a mirror
with a TV in it.
5
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,266
We were thinking 200 to 300.
6
00:00:13,266 --> 00:00:14,667
[Alison] Not a chance.
7
00:00:14,667 --> 00:00:16,367
When you have
expensive taste...
8
00:00:16,367 --> 00:00:17,900
[Gil] Yeah, a steam shower,
that'd be cool.
9
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:20,567
[Katie] Thinking of the cool,
moody powder room.
10
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:22,667
Some sort of theater here
was important to me.
11
00:00:22,667 --> 00:00:24,900
...you're gonna spend
a lot more.
12
00:00:25,867 --> 00:00:27,166
[Gil] Since this whole
process started,
13
00:00:27,166 --> 00:00:29,400
it's kind of like
drinking out of a fire hose.
14
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,667
You guys, come on,
I'm your designer.
15
00:00:30,667 --> 00:00:32,200
You gotta like tell me
what you're thinking.
16
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,166
This is too dark.
I don't like that.
17
00:00:34,166 --> 00:00:36,700
This is as white
as white oak gets.
18
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:38,000
I'm not really asking
for that much,
19
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,700
just to start over.
20
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,000
I just wanna get pricing
to Gil to be like,
21
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,266
"Here's how much
your cabinets are."
22
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:45,367
[Kristy]
The first round was at 95.
23
00:00:45,367 --> 00:00:46,433
$95,000?
24
00:00:46,433 --> 00:00:49,066
-Yes.
-What the [bleep]
is Austin talking about?
25
00:00:49,066 --> 00:00:51,266
Alison, it's white oak.
26
00:00:51,266 --> 00:00:53,600
It's a lot of money for
Gil and Katie.
27
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:56,166
But, like, trust us.
28
00:00:56,166 --> 00:00:58,567
You will fall in love
with something
29
00:00:58,567 --> 00:01:00,767
-and you will know it's right.
-Okay.
30
00:01:00,767 --> 00:01:02,100
[Alison] This is not it.
31
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:06,567
Welcome to your new Parisien
Chicago flat. Open up.
32
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:08,600
-Whoa!
-Holy [bleep]!
33
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,200
[Alison]
I am downtown and I love it.
34
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,100
Like, a building like this
is so Chicago.
35
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:28,700
I mean,
one of my favorite projects
36
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:29,967
was my Delaware project.
37
00:01:29,967 --> 00:01:31,867
So, yes,
it was a pain in the ass,
38
00:01:31,867 --> 00:01:34,500
but what's the fun
if there's no challenge?
39
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,800
[knocking at door]
40
00:01:36,467 --> 00:01:37,567
-Hello.
-Hello.
41
00:01:37,567 --> 00:01:38,800
-Hi.
-Hi.
42
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,967
Gil and Katie,
they both work in finance.
43
00:01:41,967 --> 00:01:43,200
They're in the penthouse.
44
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,767
"PH."
45
00:01:44,767 --> 00:01:47,567
Two very cool letters
that go together.
46
00:01:47,567 --> 00:01:48,767
So you guys...
47
00:01:48,767 --> 00:01:51,100
-Getting settled
little by little.
-Oh, you just moved in.
48
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:52,567
-Yeah.
-Where'd you move from?
49
00:01:52,567 --> 00:01:53,967
Uh, the 35th floor.
50
00:01:53,967 --> 00:01:56,367
My family purchased
the unit in 1998,
51
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:58,367
so we've had that unit
for years,
52
00:01:58,367 --> 00:02:00,467
and I had a place on
the 24th floor.
53
00:02:00,467 --> 00:02:02,600
So you moved in.
You haven't done anything?
54
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,266
-No.
-No, got it.
55
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:05,500
It's kind of funny.
So, we were sitting here
56
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,100
on a Sunday with social media,
57
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,000
and I saw this great condo
in Delaware.
58
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,767
I went to Katie, I was like,
"Hey, maybe we can hire her."
59
00:02:11,767 --> 00:02:13,834
[laughs] And here we are.
60
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:15,667
[Alison]
This is the main entry.
61
00:02:15,667 --> 00:02:18,300
Let's make this
feel like a bigger opening.
62
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:20,467
[Katie] And I actually was
thinking of making this
63
00:02:20,467 --> 00:02:22,700
the cool, moody powder room.
64
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:24,567
[Gil] Kind of Parisien,
but modern. You know,
65
00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:26,467
-the darker colors and like...
-[Katie] Took us
a while to get to that.
66
00:02:26,467 --> 00:02:27,367
-Yeah?
-[Katie] Yeah.
67
00:02:27,367 --> 00:02:29,467
-We're going in, um, November.
-November.
68
00:02:29,467 --> 00:02:31,600
And you know what?
I'm gonna send you to
the flea market.
69
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,266
-[Gil and Katie] Yeah.
-So you can go look
at cool pieces.
70
00:02:33,266 --> 00:02:34,667
Do you want to take
a lap real quick
71
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:36,266
-just to get your bearings?
-Yes.
72
00:02:36,266 --> 00:02:38,266
-[Katie] This way. Yeah.
-[Gil] So the kitchen and
the living room's over here.
73
00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:39,200
[Alison] Oh, I love it.
74
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,100
-[Gil] Yeah.
-[Katie] Yeah.
75
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:41,233
[Alison] I mean,
obviously, you walk in,
76
00:02:41,233 --> 00:02:44,266
you can see that big view,
which is awesome.
77
00:02:44,266 --> 00:02:46,600
But then it's all chopped up
and compartmentalized.
78
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,567
That's where I have to say,
okay, it's dated.
79
00:02:49,567 --> 00:02:52,000
I mean, the whole plan
was to redo this place,
80
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,700
but we've just been
desperate to get started.
81
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:57,100
[Gil] It's-- In the morning,
it's chaos.
82
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,667
-Yeah.
-Like, just the two of us.
83
00:02:59,667 --> 00:03:02,266
[Gil] Yeah, we've been dating
for just over three years now.
84
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:04,166
Katie moved in.
She works from home,
85
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:06,567
so my office quickly turned
to her office.
86
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:07,967
I'd like to change this so
you don't have to, like,
87
00:03:07,967 --> 00:03:09,900
have a sofa against this wall.
88
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,367
You want to get this
whole thing laid out right.
89
00:03:11,367 --> 00:03:12,767
-[Gil] Yeah.
-[Katie] This is, uh...
90
00:03:12,767 --> 00:03:14,166
we have
different opinions on that.
91
00:03:14,166 --> 00:03:15,500
-Alison, you'll see.
-So I said...
92
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,500
[Gil] Yeah, we both have
very strong opinions.
93
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:19,066
-So you'll see.
-Oh, okay.
94
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:21,000
-Yeah.
-All right. Show me that way.
95
00:03:22,667 --> 00:03:24,867
[Alison] Okay, this
would be the coolest place
96
00:03:24,867 --> 00:03:25,900
for a real bar.
97
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:27,567
[Gil] Having an extra bedroom
here, though--
98
00:03:27,567 --> 00:03:29,567
[Alison] Yeah, 'cause how many
bedrooms is this right now?
99
00:03:29,567 --> 00:03:32,667
-[Gil] It's two.
The bar and the den.
-[Katie] Two.
100
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:36,066
[Katie]
It needs to be functional
so that if I pop out a kid,
101
00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:37,367
it's not living in a bar.
102
00:03:37,367 --> 00:03:38,400
Exactly.
103
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,300
So this is a really
great time for each of them
104
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,700
to get everything they want
and more.
105
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:44,600
And "spit" a kid out.
106
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,467
Why can't we make
this one the bedroom?
107
00:03:47,467 --> 00:03:49,367
[Gil] Some sort of theater
here was important to me.
108
00:03:49,367 --> 00:03:51,100
[Alison] Okay.
You want the sound system,
109
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:53,600
-you want the subwoofer,
the whole deal.
-Yup.
110
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,467
All right.
So now down the hall...
111
00:03:56,467 --> 00:03:58,166
So now you come around
the corner.
112
00:03:58,166 --> 00:04:00,166
Okay, this is super-cool.
113
00:04:00,166 --> 00:04:02,100
-[Gil] It's a huge bedroom.
-It is a huge bedroom.
114
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,500
-[Katie] Yeah.
-All right, so let's talk
about the bathroom.
115
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:05,867
-[Katie] That...
-[Alison] Yeah, of course.
116
00:04:05,867 --> 00:04:07,500
-...has gotta go.
-That's gonna go.
117
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,166
[Gil] Yeah, a steam shower,
that'd be cool.
118
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:11,266
-[Alison] Okay.
-Oh, yeah, you guys can
talk appliances.
119
00:04:11,266 --> 00:04:12,600
-High items on her--
-Well, so a couple--
120
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,266
-Oh, good.
-...on her wish list, so--
121
00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:15,567
-Let's go back in the kitchen.
-Yeah.
122
00:04:15,567 --> 00:04:17,600
-[Gil] And she's gonna price
me out a house and home.
-Yeah.
123
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,967
[Katie]
Well, you want the smart home,
wine fridge,
124
00:04:19,967 --> 00:04:21,600
water filtration system,
125
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,767
the coffee machine,
126
00:04:23,767 --> 00:04:25,667
-steam shower...
-[Gil] Steam shower.
127
00:04:25,667 --> 00:04:27,100
I'm not really asking
for that much,
128
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,600
-just to start over.
-Yeah.
129
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,000
[Gil] The overall aesthetic.
130
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,166
Are you moving out?
131
00:04:31,166 --> 00:04:32,266
Obviously?
132
00:04:32,266 --> 00:04:33,266
-No.
-You have to--
133
00:04:33,266 --> 00:04:34,600
You're not gonna move out
during construction?
134
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,000
-[Gil] Meh.
-What?
135
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:39,000
Is that to save money?
136
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,100
Yeah.
137
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:41,767
How long do you see
this taking?
138
00:04:41,767 --> 00:04:43,100
Six to nine months.
139
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,066
If you live here,
it's going to take over...
140
00:04:45,066 --> 00:04:46,467
probably over 10 months.
141
00:04:46,467 --> 00:04:48,467
So what are you guys thinking
budget-wise?
142
00:04:48,467 --> 00:04:50,166
We're thinking 200 to 300.
143
00:04:50,166 --> 00:04:52,300
Um... but, again--
144
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:53,066
[laughing] Hold on. Hold on.
145
00:04:53,066 --> 00:04:54,600
...with everything else
going on--
146
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,367
I'm just thinking just
even, like,
147
00:04:56,367 --> 00:04:58,667
just with
the construction part.
148
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:00,767
-Oh.
-Because that's
gonna cost you money.
149
00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:02,800
Gil wants all
the bells and whistles.
150
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,100
All those things
cost a lot of money.
151
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:06,300
I don't mean to like
make up a story,
152
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,967
but I would think if you're
in the penthouse on Chestnut,
153
00:05:09,967 --> 00:05:10,934
you have a little more money.
154
00:05:10,934 --> 00:05:13,900
So when he said 200 to 300,
I almost choked.
155
00:05:14,367 --> 00:05:15,567
Not a chance.
156
00:05:15,567 --> 00:05:17,367
You know what's going
to cost 200 to 300?
157
00:05:17,367 --> 00:05:19,500
Just the construction part.
158
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,367
You know what's gonna
cost another three?
159
00:05:21,367 --> 00:05:22,433
My [bleep].
160
00:05:32,567 --> 00:05:33,700
Gil and Katie told me
161
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,066
they have very different
design styles and opinions,
162
00:05:36,066 --> 00:05:39,800
so step one is going to
be getting the design concept
locked in.
163
00:05:41,066 --> 00:05:43,200
-Thank for coming!
-[Gil] Good to see ya.
This is so cool.
164
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,700
-That looks great.
-Okay. Are you excited?
165
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:45,967
Yeah. I can't wait.
166
00:05:45,967 --> 00:05:47,667
Very minor tweaks,
167
00:05:47,667 --> 00:05:49,266
-but that I could really--
-[thud]
168
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:50,767
[drill whirring]
169
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:53,367
I might kill everyone, Gil.
170
00:05:53,367 --> 00:05:56,867
While Gil's meeting with me
in my design center,
171
00:05:56,867 --> 00:06:00,467
I have my contractors there,
fixing things.
172
00:06:00,467 --> 00:06:02,300
-Fireplace is--
-[thud]
173
00:06:04,367 --> 00:06:05,700
The fireplace...
174
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:08,667
And hear them up in the attic.
175
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:09,734
I get triggered.
176
00:06:09,734 --> 00:06:11,400
-This is why you move out.
-One of those day, huh?
177
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,266
-You will murder each other
in that apartment.
-Yeah.
178
00:06:14,266 --> 00:06:15,467
And then
you won't get to enjoy it
179
00:06:15,467 --> 00:06:16,834
because one of you
is going to jail.
180
00:06:17,467 --> 00:06:18,667
Are you scared of me?
181
00:06:18,667 --> 00:06:19,900
-No.
-Good.
182
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:21,266
But you and Katie
will get along real well.
183
00:06:21,266 --> 00:06:22,700
I could see
the fire in her eyes
184
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:24,400
when I said
you guys have to move out.
185
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,100
-Yeah.
-She didn't like that.
186
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,667
-She's coming around.
It's just, you know...
-Thank God, Gil.
187
00:06:28,667 --> 00:06:29,667
...believe me. Yeah.
188
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:31,900
Okay. So if you want to
come in this way, like,
189
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:33,634
-as you would down the hall...
-Yeah, okay.
190
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:36,266
...walking in that front door,
191
00:06:36,266 --> 00:06:39,266
this space would be perfect
for a wine room.
192
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:42,467
I'm thinking full glass, iron.
193
00:06:42,467 --> 00:06:44,900
I'd love to find a pier mirror
that works in the entry
194
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:46,967
and maybe paint it
the same color as the wall,
195
00:06:46,967 --> 00:06:49,400
so it really feels built in.
196
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,166
We'll do all these floors
in a patterned marble tile
197
00:06:52,166 --> 00:06:54,300
to pull it all together.
198
00:06:55,266 --> 00:06:57,266
Let's take a turn now
into the kitchen.
199
00:06:57,266 --> 00:06:58,300
Okay.
200
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:00,166
[Alison]
It's completely opened up.
201
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:01,667
[Gil] Mmm-hmm.
202
00:07:01,667 --> 00:07:03,100
[Alison] The white oak
herringbone floors
203
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:06,100
will complement the white
oak cabinets throughout.
204
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:07,133
And then I want to add
205
00:07:07,133 --> 00:07:10,367
a little bit of a
reeded design to the island.
206
00:07:10,367 --> 00:07:13,367
It's understated,
but it's really elegant.
207
00:07:13,367 --> 00:07:16,166
I think that will be great
with this-- this wall's gone,
208
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:17,166
'cause you'll be able
to see the view.
209
00:07:17,166 --> 00:07:18,400
-You see everything.
-As you kind of turn the--
210
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,166
-Yeah, it'll be cool.
-And it's all about the view.
211
00:07:20,166 --> 00:07:22,767
We're gonna build this custom
built-in for the living room
212
00:07:22,767 --> 00:07:25,667
that feels like you're
in a parlor in Paris.
213
00:07:25,667 --> 00:07:28,266
The space needs a marble
fireplace, of course.
214
00:07:28,266 --> 00:07:31,100
And we're going to add custom
trim around the ceiling
215
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,667
and sconces along
the entire back wall.
216
00:07:34,667 --> 00:07:38,266
For now, we're keeping this
a two-bedroom unit.
217
00:07:38,266 --> 00:07:40,767
Down the hall, you're going to
have your theater space
218
00:07:40,767 --> 00:07:42,166
that also has a bar.
219
00:07:42,166 --> 00:07:44,266
So it's a speakeasy
kind of feel.
220
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:45,467
And there's an opportunity
221
00:07:45,467 --> 00:07:47,800
for a big
beautiful custom door here.
222
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,166
I just have to find one.
223
00:07:49,166 --> 00:07:51,533
So now we're coming
into the main suite.
224
00:07:53,166 --> 00:07:55,400
The main suite
is all about luxury,
225
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,266
with tons of marble
in every direction,
226
00:07:59,266 --> 00:08:02,500
a big soaking tub,
a trough sink,
227
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,600
and closet space with a view.
228
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,300
That's cool by the window
'cause it's...
229
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:09,567
-I love it like that.
-We could fit it in.
I think that's kind of fun.
230
00:08:09,567 --> 00:08:12,100
And then really
it's right to designing.
231
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:13,700
And that part,
I can't wait for.
232
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:21,767
Over at Chestnut,
Gil and Katie
are not moving out
233
00:08:21,767 --> 00:08:23,066
because they're trying
to save money
234
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:24,867
for those special pieces.
235
00:08:24,867 --> 00:08:28,000
So this project has to
happen in phases.
236
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,200
The plan is to demo
the living space first,
237
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,900
and then phase two
is going to be the bathrooms.
238
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,000
It's their call,
but this is definitely
239
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800
going to add a ton of time
to the project.
240
00:08:41,467 --> 00:08:45,333
[Katie] Day two,
working off of a suitcase.
241
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,100
It's glamorous.
242
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,367
Not even day three
243
00:08:49,367 --> 00:08:52,767
and he's using the sink
like a counter.
244
00:08:52,767 --> 00:08:53,967
Let's take a walk
245
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:58,266
and see where
all this noise is coming from.
246
00:08:58,266 --> 00:09:00,500
[machines whirring]
247
00:09:02,967 --> 00:09:05,233
Oh, my God, this is
gonna be a long winter.
248
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,266
-Hi, guys.
-Hey!
249
00:09:14,266 --> 00:09:15,667
So Gil and Katie
are gonna meet me
250
00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:17,467
over at Austin's cabinet shop.
251
00:09:17,467 --> 00:09:20,266
Austin is another
client of mine.
252
00:09:20,266 --> 00:09:23,700
He has a custom cabinet shop,
and he does beautiful work.
253
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:25,100
I mean, this is the penthouse.
254
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:26,900
We've got to do
the best of the best.
255
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,767
All right, so I got as many
white oak options as possible.
256
00:09:30,767 --> 00:09:34,000
-Okay.
-Here is the white oak
herringbone.
257
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,500
This is like as pure
white oak as you can get.
258
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:38,767
What are you envisioning
with cabinet profile?
259
00:09:38,767 --> 00:09:42,166
[Katie] What we're really
aiming for is very modern,
260
00:09:42,166 --> 00:09:43,400
-something very sleek.
-Good. So--
261
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,700
-We have solid slab
everywhere.
-Yep.
262
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:48,967
-And then I would love to
do this on just the island.
-Okay.
263
00:09:48,967 --> 00:09:49,834
[Gil]
I like the texture, you know.
264
00:09:49,834 --> 00:09:51,166
I don't think you want it
all smooth.
265
00:09:51,166 --> 00:09:52,166
-Yeah. You have to.
-Yeah.
266
00:09:52,166 --> 00:09:53,767
-Break it up a little bit.
-Yeah.
267
00:09:53,767 --> 00:09:54,667
Do you like this tone?
268
00:09:55,967 --> 00:09:57,467
-Or did you
like the lighter one?
-No.
269
00:09:57,467 --> 00:09:59,266
I like really, really light.
270
00:09:59,266 --> 00:10:02,200
But, like, this is literally
raw white oak.
271
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,467
I just-- This is too dark.
272
00:10:03,467 --> 00:10:04,634
-I don't like that.
-Okay.
273
00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:06,834
It-- Go-- Here. Come here.
274
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:08,266
Horrible lighting.
275
00:10:08,266 --> 00:10:09,467
-[Katie] Okay.
-Yeah.
276
00:10:09,467 --> 00:10:10,667
-That looks a lot more--
-Yeah.
277
00:10:10,667 --> 00:10:12,800
Like, for the floor, yes.
278
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,800
But for the cabinets,
279
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,600
I think we want very, very
like light modern--
280
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,867
like a little bit
lighter than that.
281
00:10:18,867 --> 00:10:21,567
Well, you can't go lighter
than this with white oak.
282
00:10:21,567 --> 00:10:24,367
This is as white
as white oak gets.
283
00:10:24,367 --> 00:10:25,767
You think this was too yellow?
284
00:10:25,767 --> 00:10:27,166
-Or what did you
not like about this?
-Yeah, I don't--
285
00:10:27,166 --> 00:10:28,233
It's too yellow.
286
00:10:28,233 --> 00:10:29,767
-You're under this light.
-Again, it's the light.
287
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,033
-[Alison] But go outside.
Go on the sidewalk.
-[Gil] Yeah, come here.
288
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,166
That-- I mean,
that's a lot lighter
289
00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:34,767
-than the actual daylight.
-[Katie] Yeah.
290
00:10:34,767 --> 00:10:36,266
-No, I know.
Yeah, that is lighter.
-'Cause the light can play--
291
00:10:36,266 --> 00:10:37,800
-And lighter, actually.
-the light
can play a lot of tricks.
292
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,800
[Alison] Changes drastically.
293
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,266
-Yeah.
-[Alison] Trust me
on the design stuff.
294
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:42,967
-I promise, I will give you
what you want.
-Okay. Okay.
295
00:10:42,967 --> 00:10:45,567
And you get so much
natural light in your place.
296
00:10:45,567 --> 00:10:47,500
And the temperature of light
that we're doing in your place
297
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:48,867
will not be this.
298
00:10:48,867 --> 00:10:51,100
I think there's gonna be
places for, you know,
299
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:52,066
both of our tastes.
300
00:10:52,066 --> 00:10:53,367
[sighs] Yeah.
301
00:10:53,367 --> 00:10:54,767
We'll get there.
302
00:10:54,767 --> 00:10:57,767
For the bath two,
this is what I'd like to do.
303
00:10:57,767 --> 00:11:01,000
So, not everything's
so much of the same.
304
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,166
-Yeah.
-That's cool.
305
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:04,066
-I like the storage
under that.
-So this is white oak,
306
00:11:04,066 --> 00:11:06,233
white marble, and all brass.
307
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:07,800
[Katie] Hmm.
308
00:11:10,667 --> 00:11:12,233
-[Gil chuckles nervously]
-Um...
309
00:11:13,166 --> 00:11:15,166
-Okay, you guys--
You guys, come on.
-[Katie laughs]
310
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:16,066
I'm your designer.
You gotta like--
311
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:18,233
You gotta tell me
what you're thinking.
312
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:26,667
[Alison] As a designer
who does this for a living,
313
00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:28,200
you gotta just tell me
what you're thinking.
314
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,367
-Yeah, I don't know
if I like the brass.
-I think--
315
00:11:29,367 --> 00:11:31,300
-I think the design
is really cool.
-Ignore the brass.
316
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,600
Ignore the plumbing.
317
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,800
-Okay.
-Plumbing is separate.
318
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,467
We can do plumbing in black.
We can do plumbing in silver.
319
00:11:36,467 --> 00:11:38,000
We can do plumbing in chrome.
320
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,100
But in here,
do you just want to see
321
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:40,867
a simple, boring-ass cabinet?
322
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:41,867
-Yeah, no. Yeah.
-No.
323
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,033
No.
324
00:11:43,033 --> 00:11:45,667
I know Katie is struggling
with like making decisions,
325
00:11:45,667 --> 00:11:47,500
but also we've got to move
this project along.
326
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,867
So, unfortunately,
327
00:11:48,867 --> 00:11:50,634
some of these things
have to be snap judgment.
328
00:11:56,667 --> 00:11:58,667
Phase one of demo is done,
329
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:00,500
but the crew
just can't tear out
330
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,800
that main bedroom and bathroom
until Gil and Katie relocate.
331
00:12:05,667 --> 00:12:08,100
The framing can start
in the main living space.
332
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,934
And the guys are installing
an in-ceiling sound system
in the theater.
333
00:12:16,967 --> 00:12:18,767
Gil calls me and tells me
334
00:12:18,767 --> 00:12:21,300
he is gonna propose to Katie
when they're in Paris.
335
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:23,500
-We're going in, um, November.
-November.
336
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:25,567
I mean,
who doesn't love that story?
337
00:12:25,567 --> 00:12:27,400
It's a fairy tale.
338
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,867
Britt's not just my assistant.
339
00:12:28,867 --> 00:12:30,166
She is a jeweler.
340
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:32,600
So Gil saw on my social media
341
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,000
I was posting
about like a ring
342
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,400
that she had made me,
343
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,567
and he was like,
344
00:12:36,567 --> 00:12:38,900
"I wonder if she could help me
with the engagement ring."
345
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:40,700
So this is what the ring
is going to look like
346
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:41,767
when it's completed.
347
00:12:41,767 --> 00:12:43,367
The V-shaped prongs,
348
00:12:43,367 --> 00:12:44,767
which looks the prettiest
with the diamond.
349
00:12:44,767 --> 00:12:46,066
No, that looks great.
350
00:12:46,066 --> 00:12:47,066
I think she'll love it.
351
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:48,867
[Britt] So I'm
a fourth-generation jeweler.
352
00:12:48,867 --> 00:12:51,266
I've been in the industry
for 25 years now.
353
00:12:51,266 --> 00:12:52,900
-And here is the ring.
-Oh, wow!
354
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:54,934
It's beautiful.
355
00:12:54,934 --> 00:12:56,967
Out of all of them I've seen,
I like this one the best.
356
00:12:56,967 --> 00:12:58,066
-[Britt] Perfect.
-[chuckles]
357
00:12:58,066 --> 00:12:59,800
[Britt]
So we picked the right one.
358
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,900
And she has no idea
this is happening?
359
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:04,667
I'm doing my best
to cover my tracks.
360
00:13:04,667 --> 00:13:05,667
[Gil] While all this is done,
361
00:13:05,667 --> 00:13:07,100
we'll have
a great time in Paris,
362
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:09,367
be engaged, get married,
363
00:13:09,367 --> 00:13:11,433
and, uh, then we'll be
in our forever home.
364
00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:23,700
[Alison] Most of the walls
over at Chestnut
are now framed.
365
00:13:25,467 --> 00:13:28,033
Electrical started while
Katie and Gil are in Paris.
366
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,367
And we're
still waiting on them
367
00:13:31,367 --> 00:13:32,934
to decide on
cabinets and flooring.
368
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,934
[ringtone playing]
369
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:39,266
[connect chimes]
370
00:13:39,266 --> 00:13:41,066
Hello?
371
00:13:41,066 --> 00:13:42,166
-[Gil] Hey!
-[Katie] Hi.
372
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:43,767
[Alison] Oh, bonjour.
373
00:13:43,767 --> 00:13:45,166
Are you at Francois'?
374
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:48,100
-[both] Yeah.
-That mantle's the mantle
I almost bought from him.
375
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:51,100
It might be a little big
for the space.
376
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,000
We're trying to scale it out
and see.
377
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,900
[Gil]
So, where we've been in Paris,
378
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:56,467
every herringbone floors
that we've seen,
379
00:13:56,467 --> 00:13:57,500
I have color-checked.
380
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,867
[Katie] Every damn floor
he walks by, he goes,
381
00:13:59,867 --> 00:14:01,667
"What about that?
What about that?"
382
00:14:01,667 --> 00:14:03,900
-[Alison] Thank you, Gil.
-And then with the walls
and ceilings, like--
383
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,900
Oh! What's on the finger?
384
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,367
-Oh. It's...
-[Gil] Uh-oh.
385
00:14:07,367 --> 00:14:08,667
Let me see it!
386
00:14:08,667 --> 00:14:11,100
-The other news is...
-Oh, my God!
387
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,166
Congratulations.
388
00:14:13,166 --> 00:14:14,367
Britt nailed it.
389
00:14:14,367 --> 00:14:15,867
She's the best.
390
00:14:15,867 --> 00:14:17,300
I can't stop looking at it.
391
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:19,500
You guys,
I got engaged in Paris.
392
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:21,500
[laughs] That didn't last.
393
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:22,800
[Gil] I'm sure it was
fun at the time.
394
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,367
-It was so fun.
-He's ignoring me.
395
00:14:24,367 --> 00:14:25,467
Okay, lovebirds.
396
00:14:25,467 --> 00:14:26,367
[Gil] Awesome. See you soon.
397
00:14:26,367 --> 00:14:27,934
Bisou, bisou.
398
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,700
Two weeks later,
and they're finally back
from Paris.
399
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:40,400
Construction's moving,
400
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,367
but Gil and Katie still
haven't made any decisions
401
00:14:43,367 --> 00:14:44,967
on cabinets and floors.
402
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:46,500
And half the project
is sitting
403
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:47,900
until they actually move out,
404
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,867
because the crew
can't get in to demo
405
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:52,166
while they're actually
living in the main suite.
406
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:53,867
-Hi.
-[Gil] Hey.
407
00:14:53,867 --> 00:14:55,600
God, look at this.
408
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,066
-Hi, Gil.
-Nice to see ya.
409
00:14:57,066 --> 00:14:58,266
Congrats in person.
410
00:14:58,266 --> 00:14:59,367
Oh, thanks so much.
411
00:14:59,367 --> 00:15:00,567
Was the rest
of the trip awesome?
412
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:01,634
Oh, it was excellent. Yeah.
413
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:03,266
[Alison] It looks beautiful.
Like, you walk in
414
00:15:03,266 --> 00:15:05,000
and you're really just like
415
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,266
completely enveloped
in the sky.
416
00:15:07,266 --> 00:15:08,767
-Hi, Russ. Nice to meet you.
-Very nice to meet you.
417
00:15:08,767 --> 00:15:10,066
I know you and Kristy
have met.
418
00:15:10,066 --> 00:15:12,600
Get everyone in the room
because we're demo'd
419
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,567
and now is the time.
420
00:15:13,567 --> 00:15:15,200
Let's talk mantles.
421
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,900
How big of a TV
are you putting in here?
422
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:18,467
77". So I think--
423
00:15:18,467 --> 00:15:20,600
So 77" is going to be...
424
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,266
-[Gil] 62".
-Jesus, Gil.
425
00:15:22,266 --> 00:15:24,000
Can't you have smaller
in here?
426
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,467
What do you want from me?
That's...
427
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:26,700
Bigger your TV,
428
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:28,767
the more expensive
your mantle is.
429
00:15:28,767 --> 00:15:30,600
Oh, let's go
get a measurement.
430
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,900
I was shopping yesterday
and I saw this massive bar.
431
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:36,600
The first thing I thought
was Chestnut.
432
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,200
-Yes!
-All right.
433
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,467
It's exactly 12 feet.
434
00:15:41,467 --> 00:15:43,367
-This is a man bar.
-Man bar?
435
00:15:43,367 --> 00:15:47,100
It's a big-ass
beautiful old Chicago bar.
436
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,867
I'm sorry,
does that say 15,000?
437
00:15:48,867 --> 00:15:50,266
-[Kristy] Yes.
-[Gil] It does.
438
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:52,066
Okay. Well,
I'll get the price down.
439
00:15:52,066 --> 00:15:54,367
-All right.
-Hey, what about this?
440
00:15:54,367 --> 00:15:57,000
You know, you're not really
getting a front door here
441
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,934
With a high-rise like this,
442
00:15:57,934 --> 00:16:00,166
the big wow is
when you walk in that door.
443
00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:04,000
So you walk in this door
that's just unassuming,
444
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,033
And then you turn left
445
00:16:05,033 --> 00:16:07,567
and we kind of get
our big front door feel here.
446
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:08,934
Or did you want an arch?
447
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:11,367
-This was something I wanted
to hear your thoughts.
-I want an arch.
448
00:16:11,367 --> 00:16:13,066
[Russ] Right now,
you want it 5 feet?
449
00:16:13,066 --> 00:16:15,600
And how high can I go?
450
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,667
You could start the arch
at the top of the ceiling
451
00:16:17,667 --> 00:16:18,734
and then come down.
452
00:16:19,166 --> 00:16:20,767
I like this concept.
453
00:16:20,767 --> 00:16:23,266
I also have a great idea
for the powder room door.
454
00:16:23,266 --> 00:16:25,266
I have a door that I bought
in Paris years ago.
455
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:26,300
It's in my garage.
456
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:27,667
-[Gil] Oh, wow.
-[Russ] That's it.
457
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:29,667
-Thank you so much.
-This is my engagement gift.
458
00:16:29,667 --> 00:16:34,000
Now, the one thing that
I really want is this molding.
459
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,100
[Gil] That would look cool.
460
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:39,200
This molding would literally
sit on the ceiling flat.
461
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,100
This couldn't be more French.
462
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:42,367
-No, it's cool.
-[Russ] And the mantle,
463
00:16:42,367 --> 00:16:44,100
is that something
we're gonna install, too?
464
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:45,700
-Yeah.
-Okay.
465
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:47,467
[Alison] All right, samples.
466
00:16:47,467 --> 00:16:50,867
-I need you laser-focused...
-Laser-focused
on these floors.
467
00:16:50,867 --> 00:16:52,367
...on the floors
and the cabinets,
468
00:16:52,367 --> 00:16:54,467
because I don't know
what else to do at this point.
469
00:16:54,467 --> 00:16:55,533
-[Gil] Mmm-hmm.
-You know?
470
00:16:55,533 --> 00:16:57,467
-No, I think we need
to make the decision.
-Yeah.
471
00:16:57,467 --> 00:16:58,500
-Quick question.
-Yeah?
472
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:00,600
So this is
an elevated step up
473
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,000
so we get to
the tub over here.
474
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,033
We're very limited.
475
00:17:03,033 --> 00:17:04,967
We were kind of holding on
that until they demo,
476
00:17:04,967 --> 00:17:06,100
because we still don't know
477
00:17:06,100 --> 00:17:08,066
why you have
such a big step right now.
478
00:17:08,066 --> 00:17:10,800
Are we delaying the project
by doing this phase?
479
00:17:11,767 --> 00:17:13,500
Until Gil and Katie move out,
480
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:14,600
nothing can happen.
481
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,567
I can't make decisions.
482
00:17:15,567 --> 00:17:16,400
I can't demo.
483
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,767
We don't know
what's under there.
484
00:17:17,767 --> 00:17:19,800
So it's like I can make all
the floor plans in the world,
485
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,667
none of them could be possible
once we start demo.
486
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:24,900
So the longer they take
to move out,
487
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:26,400
the longer this
whole thing's gonna take.
488
00:17:26,967 --> 00:17:27,967
If we had the whole thing,
489
00:17:27,967 --> 00:17:30,800
I would 100% commit to,
you know, April, May.
490
00:17:31,367 --> 00:17:32,266
Get out.
491
00:17:32,266 --> 00:17:33,567
Okay. I'm gonna look into it.
492
00:17:33,567 --> 00:17:34,867
Get out.
493
00:17:40,467 --> 00:17:43,467
The longer you stay here
in the construction zone,
494
00:17:43,467 --> 00:17:45,967
you delay yourself
from moving into your house.
495
00:17:45,967 --> 00:17:47,333
-Yeah.
-That's crazy to me.
496
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,667
Get out.
497
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:49,900
Talk to Katie
498
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:52,567
and just really
weigh the pros and cons.
499
00:17:52,567 --> 00:17:53,900
And good luck to you.
500
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:55,066
We'll get there. Don't worry.
501
00:17:55,066 --> 00:17:55,900
-I know you're going
to get there.
-We'll get the ball
502
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:57,066
-across the finish line.
-Okay.
503
00:18:02,367 --> 00:18:05,667
[Alison] The bar I found
for Gil is expensive,
504
00:18:05,667 --> 00:18:07,100
and I know
it's gonna sell fast,
505
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:08,500
but I put it on hold
to make sure
506
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:09,800
he loves it as much as I do.
507
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,166
Whoa.
508
00:18:11,166 --> 00:18:12,467
I like it.
509
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:14,600
For the theater man cave,
this will be great.
510
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,266
-You know how you said Ditka's
was your like Cheers?
-What do you think?
511
00:18:17,266 --> 00:18:18,400
This is new Ditka's.
512
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,700
Now you're gonna have Ditka's
right in your own house.
513
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:22,000
-Exactly.
-Come check it out.
514
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,467
See if you're comfy back here.
515
00:18:23,467 --> 00:18:25,567
-Oh, that's cool.
-It's so cool.
516
00:18:25,567 --> 00:18:28,066
So is it-- uh, if the bar
is wider than the mirror?
517
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:29,033
-Is that all right?
-Yeah.
518
00:18:29,033 --> 00:18:30,867
Or we widen it? Or build
something next to it--
519
00:18:30,867 --> 00:18:32,600
I love it because I want to do
a piece of art right there.
520
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,600
-Okay. Yeah, let's do it.
-Sold?
521
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,000
[Alison] You know what
they say in French.
522
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,066
-What's that?
-Vendu.
523
00:18:36,066 --> 00:18:37,000
Vendu.
524
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Ooh. Come on.
525
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,667
I found this pier mirror.
526
00:18:39,667 --> 00:18:40,600
-[Alison gasps]
-That's cool.
527
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,000
Those light fixtures
are beautiful, Gil.
528
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,367
-Yeah.
-Because, remember,
that matches kind of
529
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:46,266
-the trim we're doing
on the ceiling.
-Yeah.
530
00:18:46,266 --> 00:18:47,700
-So it's 900 bucks.
-[Gil] Yeah.
531
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:48,867
Please buy this.
532
00:18:48,867 --> 00:18:50,567
-Yeah, I like it. Let's do it.
-Yes?
533
00:18:50,567 --> 00:18:51,767
-God, you're easy.
-Good.
534
00:18:51,767 --> 00:18:53,100
-Done and done.
-[Gil] All right.
535
00:19:06,467 --> 00:19:09,166
Lots of work going on
over at Chestnut today,
536
00:19:09,166 --> 00:19:12,600
and Gil and Katie
are finally moving out.
537
00:19:15,166 --> 00:19:18,500
[Gil] I can't believe
we're leaving this wonderland.
538
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:22,767
We are moving
out of our oasis today
539
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:24,467
for a couple of months.
540
00:19:24,467 --> 00:19:25,967
[Gil] She calls it moving.
541
00:19:25,967 --> 00:19:27,867
I call it being kicked out.
542
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:28,767
[laughs]
543
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:30,066
[Katie] Yeah,
we were asked to leave.
544
00:19:30,066 --> 00:19:31,667
-We're not doing this
on our own accord.
-[Gil] No.
545
00:19:31,667 --> 00:19:34,367
It's gonna, you know,
speed up the whole process.
546
00:19:34,367 --> 00:19:38,000
So we need everything boxed up
that we want to store
547
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,200
and we can't get at
until June.
548
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,900
I thought it was
kind of fun camping.
549
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:43,200
I mean, we had a great setup.
550
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,567
We had the hot plate,
we had the toaster oven,
551
00:19:45,567 --> 00:19:47,767
the air fryer
all on top of the tub.
552
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:48,533
We were doing great.
553
00:19:48,533 --> 00:19:50,066
We gave it
the good college try.
554
00:19:50,066 --> 00:19:51,467
It was economical, but
555
00:19:51,467 --> 00:19:53,567
for our sanity
and our relationship...
556
00:19:53,567 --> 00:19:57,066
-[Katie] Our relationship.
-...and get out of Jason,
Dustin and Russ' hair,
557
00:19:57,066 --> 00:19:58,734
-you know,
it's the right move.
-Yeah.
558
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,367
[Gil] We got a great sublease.
559
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:03,800
So we're gonna be closer
to the river kind of
in Streeterville.
560
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,867
And Rupert is happy too.
561
00:20:04,867 --> 00:20:07,400
-He's very excited to...
-But, uh--
562
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,233
...have more space
than just this.
563
00:20:16,367 --> 00:20:18,066
[Alison] Now that
Katie and Gil have moved,
564
00:20:18,066 --> 00:20:20,300
the crew can
finish demo in the back
565
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:22,500
and find out what's going on
in that bathroom
566
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:25,333
so we can
finally lock in the design.
567
00:20:33,967 --> 00:20:36,600
-Hey!
-Hey, Alison.
568
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,100
All right, so I've got
a penthouse apartment
569
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:40,400
here in Chicago.
570
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,300
We don't have a real
front door opportunity
571
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:43,767
because it's a big building.
572
00:20:43,767 --> 00:20:46,700
But I do have an opportunity
to do something really,
573
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:50,500
really badass
for the theater/bar area.
574
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:54,166
-So I'm kind of envisioning
like more French.
-Right.
575
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:58,266
So I would love to see
like what you have arch-wise.
576
00:20:58,266 --> 00:20:59,900
Ooh, what's that one
behind there?
577
00:21:00,367 --> 00:21:03,500
[gasps] I love this.
578
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,100
[Don] This is a single door.
579
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:08,800
It's 54 inches wide
by 108 tall.
580
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,400
In Alexandria Egypt,
581
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,000
this would have been
a door that
582
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,467
was an entryway to a loggia
583
00:21:15,467 --> 00:21:18,266
and to probably
a very large estate--
584
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:21,166
That is unbelievable.
585
00:21:21,166 --> 00:21:24,266
And then you have your
big strap hinges right here.
586
00:21:24,266 --> 00:21:28,467
[Alison] And just the fact
that it's this massive arch
single door,
587
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:29,767
it's so unexpected,
588
00:21:29,767 --> 00:21:32,367
especially in
like a Chicago penthouse.
589
00:21:32,367 --> 00:21:33,600
[Don] It's fairly rare.
590
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,467
Most normal houses,
591
00:21:35,467 --> 00:21:38,400
even during the
French colonization of Egypt,
592
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,967
didn't have doors this big.
So, um...
593
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:42,033
[Alison] That's unreal.
594
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,166
Unreal.
595
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:44,200
How much is that?
596
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,100
$3,200.
597
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,266
[Alison]
First I need to make sure
598
00:21:47,266 --> 00:21:49,100
if I can get this thing
in the elevator.
599
00:21:49,667 --> 00:21:51,800
And I got to show it
to my client.
600
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,500
So I'm hoping to have
an answer for you right away.
601
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:55,467
Yeah, I've got you covered.
602
00:21:55,467 --> 00:21:57,000
No problem.
603
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,166
Over at Chestnut, electricians
are installing ceiling lights
604
00:22:07,166 --> 00:22:09,467
throughout the entire theater.
605
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:11,700
At this point, Katie and Gil
have asked Austin
606
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:13,867
for way more
than 30 cabinet samples,
607
00:22:13,867 --> 00:22:15,900
trying to figure out
what this white oak finish
608
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:17,567
Katie is stuck on.
609
00:22:17,567 --> 00:22:19,567
Okay, Chestnut cabinets.
610
00:22:19,567 --> 00:22:20,734
-Yes.
-Okay.
611
00:22:20,734 --> 00:22:24,367
In his quote, did he revise
this number to be a veneer?
612
00:22:24,367 --> 00:22:25,400
-Yeah.
-Okay.
613
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,100
So now we need to call Austin.
614
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:28,700
-Hello?
-Hello.
615
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:30,867
-Hey.
-We have your samples.
616
00:22:30,867 --> 00:22:32,567
I know you're gonna
get those from Brett.
617
00:22:32,567 --> 00:22:33,767
The guys said
that they're gonna be
618
00:22:33,767 --> 00:22:35,867
ready for cabinets in a month.
619
00:22:35,867 --> 00:22:36,934
That'd be really tough.
620
00:22:36,934 --> 00:22:39,867
More like two months,
you know? One and a half.
621
00:22:39,867 --> 00:22:41,467
Okay, let me look into
a couple of things
622
00:22:41,467 --> 00:22:42,433
and I'll get back to you.
623
00:22:42,433 --> 00:22:44,900
-Okay.
-Can I see those numbers
for Austin?
624
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,300
I just want to get
pricing to Gil to be like,
625
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:49,166
"Here's how much
your cabinets are.
626
00:22:49,166 --> 00:22:51,467
And here's how much
your flooring is."
627
00:22:51,467 --> 00:22:53,600
[Kristy]
The first round was at 95.
628
00:22:54,467 --> 00:22:55,467
$95,000?
629
00:22:55,467 --> 00:22:57,100
-Yes.
-[exclaims]
630
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:59,166
What the [bleep]
is Austin talking about?
631
00:22:59,166 --> 00:23:01,266
Alison, it's white oak.
632
00:23:01,266 --> 00:23:04,033
Gil's not gonna pay 100 grand
for [bleep] cabinets.
633
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,433
[Kristy]
The first round was at 95.
634
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:12,967
$95,000?
635
00:23:12,967 --> 00:23:15,300
Yes. Alison, it's white oak.
636
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:17,000
That's why
I want to do veneer.
637
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,066
That also includes install.
638
00:23:19,066 --> 00:23:21,567
Gil's not gonna pay 100 grand
for [bleep] cabinets.
639
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:23,767
What does he think
it's gonna cost him, though?
640
00:23:23,767 --> 00:23:25,000
-Oh, God, I don't know.
-Like, it's
a fully-integrated--
641
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,667
My house didn't cost
100 grand.
642
00:23:26,667 --> 00:23:28,567
Gil's never gonna do that.
643
00:23:28,567 --> 00:23:30,367
Christine, can
you deal with Austin?
644
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:31,767
Directly, please?
645
00:23:31,767 --> 00:23:32,967
On timelines?
646
00:23:32,967 --> 00:23:34,367
-Or on the veneers?
-Veneers.
647
00:23:34,367 --> 00:23:35,667
And you have
to remember, like,
648
00:23:35,667 --> 00:23:38,166
he's paneling
this whole thing here.
649
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:39,166
I don't think
that's out of line
650
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:41,000
-for the material
that they picked.
-Really?
651
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,700
White oak is normally high.
652
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,100
We don't know what this is.
653
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:46,100
It's even higher right now.
654
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:48,300
[Alison] I always knew
their $300,000 budget
655
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:50,567
was not going to cover
their expensive tastes.
656
00:23:50,567 --> 00:23:53,400
So, you know, this stuff
just adds up really fast
657
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,166
and they don't want to bend
658
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:55,734
on the high-end
design finishes.
659
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:06,266
We're getting so close
to wrapping up electrical
over at Chestnut.
660
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:09,400
It has been such an extensive
part of this renovation,
661
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,367
but the impact when we're done
is going to be huge.
662
00:24:12,367 --> 00:24:15,200
In the main bath, the marble
flooring is going in.
663
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,467
And I wanna go
check out the progress.
664
00:24:17,467 --> 00:24:19,266
-Wow.
-[laughs] Yeah.
665
00:24:19,266 --> 00:24:20,667
-[laughs]
-It's massive.
666
00:24:20,667 --> 00:24:21,867
[Julius]
This is quite the view.
667
00:24:21,867 --> 00:24:23,700
I mean, it's going to be
a pain in the ass
668
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,667
-getting stuff up.
-Yeah.
669
00:24:25,667 --> 00:24:27,900
[Alison] Designing a high-end
project like this one
670
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:30,700
means I need
the best carpenters out there.
671
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:32,266
That's gonna be Julius
for this one.
672
00:24:32,266 --> 00:24:35,133
He blew me away at
his audition.
673
00:24:35,567 --> 00:24:37,900
Oh, Julius.
674
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,166
You took something old,
675
00:24:40,166 --> 00:24:42,100
turned it into something new,
676
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:44,000
-and then made it
look old again.
-Right.
677
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,066
That's very cool.
678
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:47,467
So meeting Julius,
we're going over the built-in
679
00:24:47,467 --> 00:24:49,000
that is gonna be
in the family room.
680
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,867
-So here is our wall.
-Okay.
681
00:24:50,867 --> 00:24:52,100
That's what this place
is all about,
682
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,200
-is like that
additional molding.
-Is the detail. Mmm-hmm.
683
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,500
And that molding is gonna
give us a very European feel.
684
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:57,767
Do you want
to do anything about
685
00:24:57,767 --> 00:24:59,800
beveling the front edge
of the shelf?
686
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,000
-Yeah.
-Or do I just leave it? Okay.
687
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,567
[Alison] Just do like an ogee
or something, you know?
688
00:25:03,567 --> 00:25:06,600
And then this is going to be
a ceiling detail.
689
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,000
So it adds another layer
of detailing.
690
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,667
There's lights on the shelves
as well. Correct?
691
00:25:10,667 --> 00:25:12,700
-We'll just do strip lighting?
-Yeah.
692
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:14,100
This is just gonna be
a great way
693
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,700
to give them additional
lighting in each cove.
694
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:17,700
And then we have sconces
695
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,033
all the way around
the perimeter of the room.
696
00:25:19,033 --> 00:25:22,800
So it's going to be ample
lighting in a unit like this,
697
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,700
where you can't
do recessed lighting
698
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:26,567
without dropping the ceiling.
699
00:25:26,567 --> 00:25:28,600
And I just think it's going
to be so pretty at night.
700
00:25:39,367 --> 00:25:43,300
The drywall is finally
going up over a chestnut.
701
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:45,667
And it was like pulling teeth,
702
00:25:45,667 --> 00:25:48,100
but we actually
made some design progress.
703
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,000
Forty-two cabinet samples
until a decision was made.
704
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:56,300
Forty-two.
705
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:57,867
So I'm gonna work
with Katie today
706
00:25:57,867 --> 00:26:01,467
choosing slabs to try
to push this project along,
707
00:26:01,467 --> 00:26:03,066
instead of
all the back and forth
708
00:26:03,066 --> 00:26:04,433
that's going on over email.
709
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,166
Let's go stone shopping.
710
00:26:07,166 --> 00:26:09,367
Katie's having a really
hard time making decisions,
711
00:26:09,367 --> 00:26:10,867
and I can't
like force her hand,
712
00:26:10,867 --> 00:26:12,767
but I can hold her hand.
713
00:26:12,767 --> 00:26:14,166
So I think holding her hand
714
00:26:14,166 --> 00:26:15,867
through this
process of countertops
715
00:26:15,867 --> 00:26:17,266
is really important.
716
00:26:17,266 --> 00:26:20,266
-Oh, jeez.
-I'm gonna do something
totally different.
717
00:26:20,266 --> 00:26:22,166
I'm gonna walk with you,
and I just want you to tell me
718
00:26:22,166 --> 00:26:24,100
which one stops you and why.
719
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:26,600
It's speed dating.
720
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,867
Which one
would you go out with?
721
00:26:28,867 --> 00:26:31,266
Like, are you into
the greens and the blues?
722
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:31,934
[Katie] Potentially.
723
00:26:31,934 --> 00:26:33,567
-Isn't that pretty?
-Yeah.
724
00:26:33,567 --> 00:26:35,967
But I like the green.
Like, it's very subtle.
725
00:26:35,967 --> 00:26:37,767
-I like that.
-Okay.
726
00:26:37,767 --> 00:26:40,767
[gasps] Guess whose kitchen
this is in.
727
00:26:40,767 --> 00:26:42,166
This one?
728
00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:44,166
Wow. I love that.
729
00:26:44,166 --> 00:26:46,400
-You do?
-I do. But I don't know.
730
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,000
-Okay. What about powder room?
-Maybe.
731
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,100
Come on down this way.
732
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,200
Yeah, this goes too veiny.
733
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,967
-Isn't that pretty?
-[Katie] It is really pretty.
734
00:26:54,967 --> 00:26:57,367
You will fall in love
with something
735
00:26:57,367 --> 00:26:58,867
and you will know it's right.
736
00:26:58,867 --> 00:27:00,333
-Okay.
-This is not it.
737
00:27:02,967 --> 00:27:04,567
No.
738
00:27:04,567 --> 00:27:07,300
You'll see it. We're going to
come up to it very soon.
739
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:09,266
I'm also trying
to gage your reactions.
740
00:27:09,266 --> 00:27:12,000
Like, if you look at this
and you're like, "Keep going,"
741
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,800
-it's not-- Keep going. Okay.
-Keep going. Here's why.
742
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,700
You've got this
busyness of the city
743
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,500
hugging your apartment.
744
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:19,634
-This is just too busy.
-Okay.
745
00:27:20,266 --> 00:27:21,867
[Katie]
Neutral is my aesthetic.
746
00:27:21,867 --> 00:27:25,700
Everything I wear is like
gray, black, white, beige.
747
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:30,100
So I'm just stepping out
of my comfort zone
a little bit.
748
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,300
-That's gorgeous.
-That's really pretty.
749
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:33,467
It's majestic.
750
00:27:33,467 --> 00:27:34,767
"Majestic"!
751
00:27:34,767 --> 00:27:36,467
-Sexy. Yeah.
-Sexy!
752
00:27:36,467 --> 00:27:38,967
-Mmm. Yeah.
-These are all love words.
753
00:27:38,967 --> 00:27:40,567
I've never done speed dating.
754
00:27:40,567 --> 00:27:43,266
But I definitely knew
when I found the one
755
00:27:43,266 --> 00:27:44,867
for the kitchen.
756
00:27:44,867 --> 00:27:46,200
I hope he likes this,
757
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,033
'cause if he doesn't,
it doesn't really matter.
758
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:50,300
[Alison]
If Gil doesn't like something,
759
00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:53,000
I don't think he's gonna be
much of a fighter.
760
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,567
They really just need
to make a decision
about these finishes.
761
00:27:55,567 --> 00:27:57,667
They don't have time
on their side anymore
762
00:27:57,667 --> 00:27:59,500
if they want to keep
their project on schedule.
763
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:21,800
[Alison]
Now that we've locked in
all the design decisions,
764
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,300
we can finally start
getting the finishes in.
765
00:28:26,467 --> 00:28:29,133
And Julius can install
that beautiful built-in.
766
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:36,867
I am real far
outside the city...
767
00:28:36,867 --> 00:28:37,834
Hi, guys.
768
00:28:37,834 --> 00:28:39,300
-[Russ] Hello. How are you?
-[Jason] Hello.
769
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:41,567
[Alison] ...to retrofit
all these pieces
that I found for Chestnut.
770
00:28:41,567 --> 00:28:43,367
So it's worth making the trip,
771
00:28:43,367 --> 00:28:45,166
especially to go over
all the details.
772
00:28:45,166 --> 00:28:47,367
This is the side
that's gonna go closest to...
773
00:28:47,367 --> 00:28:48,900
-The entrance.
-The entrance.
774
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:49,900
-Correct. Yes.
-This is the window.
775
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:52,166
I think we had 12 total feet.
776
00:28:52,166 --> 00:28:55,667
[Russ]
A typical freight elevator
is 13 to 14 foot high.
777
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:56,967
We have some challenges
with this one
778
00:28:56,967 --> 00:28:59,100
because it's only 9-foot tall.
779
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:01,000
So we're gonna have to
modify some pieces
780
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,200
in order to get it up to
the 57th floor.
781
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,467
Cut it in the middle,
782
00:29:05,467 --> 00:29:07,400
you can still have
the round on both sides.
783
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,066
Yeah, 'cause I still like
the radius on both sides.
784
00:29:10,066 --> 00:29:11,767
Behind you would be
the window.
785
00:29:11,767 --> 00:29:13,000
[Alison] Let's go over this.
786
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,767
Once you guys get this
to the site,
787
00:29:14,767 --> 00:29:16,800
it's just going to get painted
the same as the wall color.
788
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,500
It's literally going
to blend into the wall.
789
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:19,767
Yeah. And then this is,
790
00:29:19,767 --> 00:29:21,667
of course, this is
the powder room door.
791
00:29:21,667 --> 00:29:22,867
I have had this door
792
00:29:22,867 --> 00:29:25,066
for probably like three
or four years.
793
00:29:25,066 --> 00:29:26,367
It's from Paris.
794
00:29:26,367 --> 00:29:29,200
So this is my engagement gift
795
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,767
to Gil and Katie.
796
00:29:30,767 --> 00:29:33,066
That's a pretty damn good
engagement gift.
797
00:29:33,066 --> 00:29:34,066
[Russ] Oh, I love it.
798
00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:35,900
[upbeat music playing]
799
00:29:39,767 --> 00:29:41,867
[Alison] Jason's guys are
gonna retrofit the bar
800
00:29:41,867 --> 00:29:42,800
in the shop
801
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,867
so they can squeeze it
into the elevator
802
00:29:44,867 --> 00:29:46,567
when they get to Chestnut.
803
00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:49,433
Issues that Julius is
currently dealing with.
804
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,367
[machine whirring]
805
00:29:52,367 --> 00:29:54,367
[Julius] A little tricky
getting inside the building
806
00:29:54,367 --> 00:29:57,667
because when you're dealing
with a high-rise downtown,
807
00:29:57,667 --> 00:29:59,300
logistically, you gotta deal
with the tenants
808
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:00,166
that are in the building
809
00:30:00,166 --> 00:30:02,500
and fitting everything
on the elevator
810
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,500
and like, going through
the security checkpoints.
811
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,133
So far, so good.
812
00:30:07,767 --> 00:30:10,567
Oh, yes.
813
00:30:10,567 --> 00:30:12,433
I mean, it's like arch heaven.
814
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,500
Walking into Chestnut is
815
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:17,767
like my Parisian dream.
816
00:30:17,767 --> 00:30:20,266
But like you have
all this stuff to look at
817
00:30:20,266 --> 00:30:22,000
that you almost forget
about the view.
818
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,667
You forget
you're in the penthouse.
819
00:30:23,667 --> 00:30:25,000
That's good design.
820
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,100
This is going
to look ridiculous.
821
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:28,567
What color are you thinking
the pier mirror?
822
00:30:28,567 --> 00:30:30,667
-White. Same
as the wall color.
-[Kristy] White.
823
00:30:30,667 --> 00:30:32,700
It's overdone, but it's
understated with paint.
824
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:34,533
-Yeah.
-[upbeat music playing]
825
00:30:35,266 --> 00:30:37,767
The floor is stunning.
826
00:30:37,767 --> 00:30:39,433
God, this is dreamy.
827
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:42,367
Behind the scenes on this one
828
00:30:42,367 --> 00:30:44,166
has been more emails
829
00:30:44,166 --> 00:30:45,500
than I've ever seen
in my life.
830
00:30:46,166 --> 00:30:47,467
And I get it, right?
831
00:30:47,467 --> 00:30:49,000
It's a lot of money
for Gil and Katie,
832
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,367
but like, trust us.
833
00:30:51,367 --> 00:30:53,000
That's why you hired me.
834
00:30:53,567 --> 00:30:56,000
-[gasps] Hi, Julius.
-Hey, Alison.
835
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,100
We have some decorative pieces
for you.
836
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:00,800
-I can put it on
with a pin now.
-[gasps]
837
00:31:01,767 --> 00:31:04,100
The way this is going
to look with this.
838
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:06,166
Get some cool brass stuff.
839
00:31:06,166 --> 00:31:08,000
I don't care if Katie says no.
840
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:08,967
We're getting the brass ones.
841
00:31:08,967 --> 00:31:10,533
Well, most of it will be
covered by her stuff.
842
00:31:13,467 --> 00:31:15,166
God, this is beautiful.
843
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:17,767
I mean, this door, this bar,
844
00:31:17,767 --> 00:31:19,767
this is out-of-control great.
845
00:31:19,767 --> 00:31:21,867
[Kristy] And I was worried
about this in the plan.
846
00:31:21,867 --> 00:31:23,066
Like, it fit,
but I didn't know
847
00:31:23,066 --> 00:31:23,967
how tight this would feel.
848
00:31:23,967 --> 00:31:25,200
It feels amazing.
849
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,000
Wow.
850
00:31:28,467 --> 00:31:29,967
Wow, wow.
851
00:31:29,967 --> 00:31:32,000
They have
a huge bedroom still.
852
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,400
Like the floor plan
that you redid is
853
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,166
ridiculously good.
854
00:31:36,166 --> 00:31:38,367
Finally, maybe Katie's
gonna be happy.
855
00:31:38,367 --> 00:31:40,900
The main suite is
behind schedule.
856
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,600
Duh, go figure.
857
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,000
I told them to move out,
here we are.
858
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,066
And we're what, a month away?
859
00:31:47,066 --> 00:31:48,667
It's gonna be jaw-dropping.
860
00:31:48,667 --> 00:31:49,900
I'm excited.
861
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:52,300
And then for us as designers,
like come on, this is a dream.
862
00:31:56,166 --> 00:31:58,533
[instrumental music playing]
863
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,800
Oh, wow.
864
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,367
Oh, my God,
this looks so good.
865
00:32:05,367 --> 00:32:07,300
-Just wait till lighting
and wine.
-I know.
866
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:08,400
[Alison] I'm out of town,
867
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,900
and there's so many details
that come in at the end.
868
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:12,867
There's also been
so many emails
869
00:32:12,867 --> 00:32:15,100
with Katie questioning
everything.
870
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,200
[Katie] I didn't realize
871
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,667
that it was going to be
like its own little nook.
872
00:32:17,667 --> 00:32:19,667
I think that's why
I couldn't visualize it.
873
00:32:19,667 --> 00:32:21,467
But yes, that makes sense now.
874
00:32:21,467 --> 00:32:23,367
[Alison] This has been
a really heavy lift
875
00:32:23,367 --> 00:32:24,266
on our end,
876
00:32:24,266 --> 00:32:26,266
so I'm gonna have
Kristy walk through
877
00:32:26,266 --> 00:32:28,166
and get these decisions
locked up
878
00:32:28,166 --> 00:32:29,600
so we can wrap up
this project.
879
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,900
[Kristy] Now that we've got
all this in, like,
880
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,667
-I feel like you can
really kind of feel...
-Yeah.
881
00:32:33,667 --> 00:32:34,867
-...how we changed it.
-Oh, my...
882
00:32:34,867 --> 00:32:36,567
It's a beautiful contrast
883
00:32:36,567 --> 00:32:38,000
with how sleek this is
884
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,200
to the ornate white.
885
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,567
[Katie] Oh, my gosh.
886
00:32:41,567 --> 00:32:43,567
It's like a whole new place
in two weeks.
887
00:32:43,567 --> 00:32:44,800
[upbeat music playing]
888
00:32:45,567 --> 00:32:46,567
[Katie] Wow.
889
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:47,834
[gasps]
890
00:32:49,166 --> 00:32:51,100
It's beautiful. [chuckles]
891
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:52,900
This pulls in perfectly
892
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:54,667
with like the floor,
the cabinets.
893
00:32:54,667 --> 00:32:56,767
So the cabinets
nearly killed me.
894
00:32:56,767 --> 00:32:59,200
I never thought
that I could overanalyze.
895
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,266
White oak, colors, wood,
so much of my life.
896
00:33:02,266 --> 00:33:03,900
And they look
extremely high end.
897
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:05,000
I'm glad that
898
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,367
that we did
those custom cabinets
throughout.
899
00:33:07,367 --> 00:33:08,166
'Cause they look awesome.
900
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:10,767
So these panels get
antique mirror
901
00:33:10,767 --> 00:33:12,567
-with the sconce going
on top of it.
-Okay.
902
00:33:12,567 --> 00:33:14,667
[Katie] This looks so good.
903
00:33:14,667 --> 00:33:15,533
[Kristy] It doesn't
come out too far,
904
00:33:15,533 --> 00:33:17,500
so it's not eating up
too much space.
905
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:19,166
[Katie] Oh,
I didn't even notice that.
906
00:33:19,166 --> 00:33:21,800
Like, you guys know
what you're doing
or something.
907
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,166
[Kristy chuckles] We try.
908
00:33:23,166 --> 00:33:24,900
-This is what happens when
I don't come up every day...
-[chuckles]
909
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:27,166
...and micromanage.
Things get [chuckling] done.
910
00:33:27,166 --> 00:33:30,166
Sometimes I have
analysis paralysis
911
00:33:30,166 --> 00:33:32,200
and I overthink
a lot of things.
912
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,266
So I think I just need
to step [chuckling] away,
913
00:33:34,266 --> 00:33:36,000
trust that Alison's team knows
what they're doing,
914
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,800
which they've done
a phenomenal job.
915
00:33:41,166 --> 00:33:42,600
Let's go explore.
916
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,300
You are going to die.
917
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:45,533
-Okay.
-Open up.
918
00:33:46,467 --> 00:33:47,734
-Holy [bleep].
-[Gil] Oh.
919
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,133
[upbeat music playing]
920
00:33:58,767 --> 00:34:00,300
[Alison] So finishing touches,
921
00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:03,700
like I want this to be
a transformation.
922
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:07,767
So let's do maybe one plant
in each corner,
923
00:34:07,767 --> 00:34:09,400
you know, so it matches.
924
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,367
Candles lit,
like the experience.
925
00:34:12,367 --> 00:34:14,667
Super light, like we don't
want to overcrowd it
926
00:34:14,667 --> 00:34:16,567
because we're
in the penthouse.
927
00:34:16,567 --> 00:34:17,467
It's got to be perfect.
928
00:34:17,467 --> 00:34:19,467
It's got to be just right.
929
00:34:19,467 --> 00:34:21,500
I think we need
to move everything back.
930
00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:23,400
Open the room up
a little more.
931
00:34:24,567 --> 00:34:25,700
Let's get rid
of the cutting board,
932
00:34:25,700 --> 00:34:27,100
'cause I don't like
the finish.
933
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:28,767
We could lose the utensils.
934
00:34:28,767 --> 00:34:31,000
-Get rid of that little
baby plant. Yep.
-This one?
935
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,867
You know, it's contemporary,
so I think less is more.
936
00:34:33,867 --> 00:34:36,467
Oh, we could do another piece
of mine in here.
937
00:34:36,467 --> 00:34:38,100
Those are going
to be for the bar.
938
00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:40,166
Yeah. Let's see.
939
00:34:40,166 --> 00:34:41,166
No, it looks cheap.
940
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:42,800
It's cheap-looking, for sure.
941
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,800
Well, this is for,
you know, as you get older.
942
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,767
-Okay, well, you're the one...
-Like, you know, up close.
943
00:34:47,767 --> 00:34:49,500
...that keeps talking
about being old.
944
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:51,266
I look younger than you,
actually.
945
00:34:51,266 --> 00:34:52,667
I don't think so.
946
00:34:52,667 --> 00:34:54,166
-A little bit.
-I don't think so.
947
00:34:54,166 --> 00:34:55,367
You want to go
to a bar right now?
948
00:34:55,367 --> 00:34:57,000
I have a fresh face.
949
00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:59,767
Versus what I have?
950
00:34:59,767 --> 00:35:01,667
It looks fresher.
You have more makeup on.
951
00:35:01,667 --> 00:35:03,266
I don't have any makeup on!
952
00:35:03,266 --> 00:35:04,700
I literally have
fake eyelashes
953
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:07,100
and under-eye concealer.
954
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:08,667
-Whatever.
-[both chuckle]
955
00:35:08,667 --> 00:35:09,900
[upbeat music playing]
956
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:16,467
[Gil] Today is the big day,
957
00:35:16,467 --> 00:35:19,000
so we can finally
move back home.
958
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,200
Uh, and this is the last time
959
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,867
that you will see
all these boxes.
960
00:35:23,867 --> 00:35:25,266
Oops, I mean it,
961
00:35:25,266 --> 00:35:27,467
because we're never renovating
or moving ever again.
962
00:35:27,467 --> 00:35:28,700
Thank you, bye.
963
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:34,500
[Alison] We are up in the sky,
964
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:38,367
and it is the quintessential
965
00:35:38,367 --> 00:35:40,500
Alison Victoria design.
966
00:35:42,367 --> 00:35:45,767
Welcome to your new
Parisian-Chicago flat.
967
00:35:45,767 --> 00:35:46,800
Open up.
968
00:35:47,467 --> 00:35:48,500
Oh, my God.
969
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:51,166
Holy [bleep].
970
00:35:51,166 --> 00:35:52,600
[exhilarating
instrumental music playing]
971
00:35:58,767 --> 00:36:00,166
[Gil] Whoa.
972
00:36:00,567 --> 00:36:03,166
-Holy [bleep].
-[Gil] Oh.
973
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:04,667
-[Katie] Oh--
-That's the door you gave us
974
00:36:04,667 --> 00:36:06,600
-for our engagement.
-[Alison] Yes!
975
00:36:07,567 --> 00:36:09,367
There's no powder room
like this.
976
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:10,634
[Gil] Oh, wow.
977
00:36:11,767 --> 00:36:13,367
-[Katie] Wow.
-[Gil chuckling]
978
00:36:13,367 --> 00:36:14,567
[Katie] This is insane.
979
00:36:14,567 --> 00:36:15,567
[Gil] I mean, this is awesome.
980
00:36:15,567 --> 00:36:17,000
I'm going to...
981
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,166
control my language,
but it's moody AF.
982
00:36:20,166 --> 00:36:21,900
[Alison] We'll bleep you a lot
983
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:23,266
-because I think
it's going to be great.
-[Gil laughing]
984
00:36:23,266 --> 00:36:24,266
[Katie] I am obsessed.
985
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,533
It looks [bleep] phenomenal.
986
00:36:28,367 --> 00:36:30,400
I don't think
we could have anticipated
987
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,734
anything like this, so.
988
00:36:31,734 --> 00:36:33,367
-I mean, then there's
so many creative aspects...
-[Katie] Yeah.
989
00:36:33,367 --> 00:36:35,767
-[Gil] ...to everything and--
-It looks so clean,
990
00:36:35,767 --> 00:36:36,800
so modern.
991
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,133
It's perfect.
992
00:36:42,767 --> 00:36:44,066
But look at this now.
993
00:36:44,066 --> 00:36:45,867
-I know that the pier mirror
was a surprise to you...
-Oh. Wow.
994
00:36:45,867 --> 00:36:47,266
...but come and look at this.
995
00:36:47,266 --> 00:36:48,233
[Katie] This looks
really good.
996
00:36:48,233 --> 00:36:50,500
I thought that it was gonna
stick out a lot,
997
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:53,166
and honestly,
it looks so good.
998
00:36:53,166 --> 00:36:55,100
This tile, which I know
you were like--
999
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:56,967
-No, it's incredible.
-[Alison] You were
really like,
1000
00:36:56,967 --> 00:36:59,400
"No, I don't think so."
I'm like, we wanted
something different
1001
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,967
-because we knew
we were gonna do...
-[Gil] Yeah.
1002
00:37:00,967 --> 00:37:02,800
[Alison]
...herringbone everywhere.
1003
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,367
I think it was, like,
a moment too, of letting go,
1004
00:37:05,367 --> 00:37:07,100
-'cause, like,
I'm a control freak--
-Yeah.
1005
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:10,166
-I know who you are.
-...every aspect of my life.
1006
00:37:10,166 --> 00:37:11,266
-[Gil laughing]
-This was hard for you.
1007
00:37:11,266 --> 00:37:13,266
So let's go explore.
1008
00:37:13,266 --> 00:37:14,400
-[Katie] White oak.
-[Alison] Look at this.
1009
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,166
-See? Who knew
that I could overthink...
-Oh, my God.
1010
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:18,233
-[Alison] Uh-huh.
-...a wood color?
1011
00:37:18,233 --> 00:37:19,834
-[Gil chuckling] Yeah.
-[Alison] It looks amazing.
1012
00:37:21,166 --> 00:37:23,400
-You are going to die.
-Okay.
1013
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,433
Open up.
1014
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,500
-Holy [bleep].
-[Gil] Oh.
1015
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:27,800
[upbeat music playing]
1016
00:37:36,867 --> 00:37:39,700
The future of kitchens is
in your penthouse.
1017
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:41,066
-[Katie] Yeah.
-[Alison] Where it looks like
1018
00:37:41,066 --> 00:37:43,100
it's part of the family room.
1019
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:45,000
Everything is hidden,
1020
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,467
still, like,
sexy and European,
1021
00:37:47,467 --> 00:37:50,667
timeless, classy,
slab everywhere,
1022
00:37:50,667 --> 00:37:51,834
reeded,
1023
00:37:52,166 --> 00:37:54,166
the herringbone.
1024
00:37:54,166 --> 00:37:56,934
-And look,
that entire wall is pantry.
-[Katie] Yeah.
1025
00:37:58,667 --> 00:37:59,667
[Katie gasps]
1026
00:37:59,667 --> 00:38:02,467
-[Gil] Oh, my God, yeah.
-That-- oh! [chuckles]
1027
00:38:02,467 --> 00:38:03,667
[chuckling] Disregard
all the moaning,
1028
00:38:03,667 --> 00:38:05,867
-but that is it.
-[Gil laughing]
1029
00:38:05,867 --> 00:38:07,467
-It's sexy.
- [Alison] Yeah.
1030
00:38:07,467 --> 00:38:09,066
-[Gil] Yeah.
-[Katie] That is beautiful.
1031
00:38:09,066 --> 00:38:10,800
You know why? Because
it's like architectural,
1032
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,967
-but it still looks
like bubbles.
-[Katie] Yeah.
1033
00:38:12,967 --> 00:38:14,967
-[Alison] It just kind of
floats in the sky.
-[Katie] Yeah.
1034
00:38:14,967 --> 00:38:17,367
The trim looks like
it's been here forever,
1035
00:38:17,367 --> 00:38:19,100
-but we painted over it.
-[Gil] Oh, my God.
1036
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:21,066
[Alison] Julius
and the built-in--
1037
00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:23,166
-[Katie] Oh, wait, yeah.
Can I see the...
-Yes.
1038
00:38:23,166 --> 00:38:24,367
[Katie] ...look at this space.
1039
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,800
[Katie] Oh, my God!
This looks so good.
1040
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,500
-[Gil] Oh, the mantel.
-[Alison] Look at this.
1041
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:31,967
[Katie] It's perfect.
1042
00:38:31,967 --> 00:38:34,734
-[Gil] He did an amazing job.
- [Katie] And
those sconces, wow.
1043
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,867
But like, the reflection
of the antique glass.
1044
00:38:38,867 --> 00:38:39,967
-[Gil] Mm-hmm.
-[Katie] Yeah.
1045
00:38:39,967 --> 00:38:41,600
-[Alison] So you get
the view...
-[Katie] Yes.
1046
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,166
[Alison] ...which is
what it's all about.
1047
00:38:43,166 --> 00:38:44,567
-Well, I guess it's not
about the view anymore, is it?
-[Gil] It's amazing.
1048
00:38:44,567 --> 00:38:46,100
-The view is right here.
-[Gil] Yeah.
1049
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:47,467
- Yeah.
-[Katie] Wow.
1050
00:38:47,467 --> 00:38:48,767
[Alison] It now looks like
1051
00:38:48,767 --> 00:38:50,800
it's quadrupled the space.
1052
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,667
The mantel is
1053
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:57,166
-the dreamiest thing.
-[Katie] Yeah.
1054
00:38:57,166 --> 00:38:58,767
Oh, my God. This is what
I've been waiting for.
1055
00:38:58,767 --> 00:39:00,800
[Alison] I love
seeing Katie like this.
1056
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:01,767
-I'm crazy.
-This is awesome.
1057
00:39:01,767 --> 00:39:04,000
-But I'm like--
-Well, all the good ones are.
1058
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,900
I knew it was just going
to take some time
1059
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:07,900
for you to just warm up,
let go.
1060
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:08,834
And you did.
1061
00:39:08,834 --> 00:39:10,834
And look at what happened
because of that.
1062
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,533
[Katie] It's perfect.
1063
00:39:14,867 --> 00:39:16,800
-Do you want
the next surprise?
-[Katie and Gil] Yes.
1064
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,700
[upbeat music playing]
1065
00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:24,100
[whoops]
1066
00:39:26,266 --> 00:39:29,600
[Alison] This is
a massive transformation.
1067
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,367
-Look at the bar.
-[Gil] Wow.
1068
00:39:32,367 --> 00:39:33,800
[Katie] This is insane.
1069
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,166
[Alison] Just clean, sexy,
1070
00:39:37,166 --> 00:39:39,367
-and it works
with the beautiful stone.
-[Gil] Mmm.
1071
00:39:39,367 --> 00:39:40,400
-[Katie] It's beautiful.
-[Gil] Yeah.
1072
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,867
[Alison] You have
tons of storage under here.
1073
00:39:42,867 --> 00:39:45,000
-And then putting
the antique mirror again...
-[Gil] Yeah.
1074
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
[Alison] ...it bounces
and opens it up
1075
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,300
-even more.
- [Katie] Yeah.
1076
00:39:50,166 --> 00:39:51,567
[Gil] You looked
at that gigantic bar,
1077
00:39:51,567 --> 00:39:52,233
and I was like, "I love it".
1078
00:39:52,233 --> 00:39:53,567
-But like, remember?
-Yeah.
1079
00:39:53,567 --> 00:39:55,200
-Well, see,
this is what happened.
-[Katie] I was pissed.
1080
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,600
-It was a long ride home
to Michigan. [chuckles]
-Yeah. I'm a lot to handle.
1081
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,667
-I know you are
a lot to handle.
-Oh, no, I was like,
1082
00:39:59,667 --> 00:40:00,767
"What the hell is that?"
1083
00:40:00,767 --> 00:40:01,734
'Cause it didn't fit in
1084
00:40:01,734 --> 00:40:03,367
with the whole,
like, contemporary thing.
1085
00:40:03,367 --> 00:40:04,767
And I was worried that it was
going to be, like, quirky.
1086
00:40:04,767 --> 00:40:06,367
But in retrospect, right,
1087
00:40:06,367 --> 00:40:08,166
-when you say you're difficult
which you are,...
-Yeah. Yeah.
1088
00:40:08,166 --> 00:40:09,333
...I know what I want.
1089
00:40:09,333 --> 00:40:12,567
Yeah. Obviously, you know
what you're [chuckles] doing.
1090
00:40:12,567 --> 00:40:14,900
-And that is
the sickest door...
-[Katie] Yeah.
1091
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:16,900
-[Alison] ...of all doors.
-[Katie] No words.
1092
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:19,200
[Alison] The backside, to me,
looked like a vault.
1093
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,000
The front side looked like
you were in Versailles.
1094
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,367
It's such a good mix
of masculine, feminine,
1095
00:40:24,367 --> 00:40:27,166
-sexy, and timeless.
-[Katie] I love it.
1096
00:40:27,166 --> 00:40:29,567
[Alison] French, but Chicago.
1097
00:40:29,567 --> 00:40:32,000
-[Gil] Everything here has
a story. It's unreal.
- [Alison] Yeah.
1098
00:40:34,066 --> 00:40:35,367
-You want to see your bedroom?
-Yes.
1099
00:40:35,367 --> 00:40:37,333
The one you guys refused
to move out of?
1100
00:40:38,667 --> 00:40:39,767
[Katie] Wow.
1101
00:40:39,767 --> 00:40:42,100
So you stayed in here
1102
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,467
long enough to make breakfast
in your bathroom
1103
00:40:44,467 --> 00:40:46,800
-every morning.
-Like a freaking animal.
1104
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,467
But you know what?
You guys are both animals,
1105
00:40:48,467 --> 00:40:50,367
-because you both stayed here.
-[Gil laughing]
1106
00:40:50,367 --> 00:40:52,000
And you should
have gotten out,
1107
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,100
because I could have done
my work way faster.
1108
00:40:55,266 --> 00:40:56,800
[Gil] This is such
a better use of space
1109
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,300
-than we had before.
-[Alison] You remember?
1110
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:00,166
-You had way more room.
- [Gil] We had like,
a 25-foot-long bedroom.
1111
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:02,200
[Alison] But it wasn't
used right.
1112
00:41:03,667 --> 00:41:04,967
-[Katie] Yeah.
-[Alison] It should be soft,
1113
00:41:04,967 --> 00:41:07,166
-it should be quiet,
and it should be calm.
-[Katie] Yeah.
1114
00:41:07,166 --> 00:41:08,834
- [Katie] Yeah.
I really like this.
- [Gil] Yeah.
1115
00:41:11,767 --> 00:41:12,800
Okay, come see your bathroom.
1116
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,066
[Katie] Well, this is
what we saw in France.
1117
00:41:17,066 --> 00:41:18,400
We saw the trough sink
1118
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,100
and we were like,
"Oh, my God, yes."
1119
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,100
-The marble is so soft.
-[Alison] Yeah.
1120
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:23,767
-[Gil] Yeah.
-[Katie] The drama.
1121
00:41:23,767 --> 00:41:24,734
'Cause it is drama.
1122
00:41:24,734 --> 00:41:26,500
It's something
that you have to appreciate
1123
00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:28,000
-in the natural stone.
-[Gil] Yeah.
1124
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,066
-Because if you didn't...
-[Katie] Yeah.
1125
00:41:29,066 --> 00:41:31,500
...we wouldn't have done
that art wall right there...
1126
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:33,600
-[Gil] Look at that.
- [Alison] ...which is crazy.
1127
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:34,967
[Katie] Unbelievable.
1128
00:41:34,967 --> 00:41:36,100
[Alison] You get to like
sit on a bench
1129
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:37,467
and a waterfall falls on you.
1130
00:41:37,467 --> 00:41:39,634
-[Gil] Does it get
too hot? [chuckles]
- [Alison] Yeah.
1131
00:41:40,066 --> 00:41:41,033
I can't imagine
1132
00:41:41,033 --> 00:41:42,767
that there's a better unit
in this building.
1133
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:43,900
We had a great coach.
1134
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:45,100
What do you expect?
1135
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:47,000
You let me design.
1136
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,367
You made it difficult,
1137
00:41:48,367 --> 00:41:50,100
-but you let me design.
-[both chuckle]
1138
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:51,767
-Yeah.
-And when you let me design,
1139
00:41:51,767 --> 00:41:53,734
I can really do great things.
1140
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:57,800
If this is the last thing
I do in Chicago,
1141
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,233
it's the best thing
I've ever done in Chicago.
1142
00:42:01,166 --> 00:42:02,367
It's perfection.
1143
00:42:02,367 --> 00:42:04,233
[Gil] You guys did
such a great job.
1144
00:42:05,867 --> 00:42:08,567
To say I didn't lowball
the budget would be a lie.
1145
00:42:08,567 --> 00:42:09,734
[chuckles]
1146
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:17,567
After all the plumbing
and all the stuff,
1147
00:42:17,567 --> 00:42:19,867
I think we came
at around $550,000.
1148
00:42:19,867 --> 00:42:21,667
With all Alison
and her team's help,
1149
00:42:21,667 --> 00:42:24,266
we probably created $300,000
or $400,000 in equity.
1150
00:42:24,266 --> 00:42:26,000
This is so out of the realm
1151
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,800
of anything
I would ever come up with.
1152
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,867
I can't wait to just bring
our friends up here
1153
00:42:29,867 --> 00:42:32,033
and just blow their minds.
1154
00:42:32,467 --> 00:42:33,834
We're the hot [bleep].
1155
00:42:33,834 --> 00:42:36,266
-Like, the apartment
and the condo, that's us.
-[Gil laughing]
1156
00:42:36,266 --> 00:42:37,900
-[Katie] Honestly--
-[Gil] It is majestic.
1157
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:39,400
[Katie] It is majestic.
1158
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,333
All of it, yes.
1159
00:42:42,266 --> 00:42:43,900
[Alison] This is beyond
1160
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:47,066
what Gil and Katie could
have ever imagined.
1161
00:42:47,066 --> 00:42:48,667
It's like a masterpiece.
1162
00:42:48,667 --> 00:42:51,667
This is a massive,
massive show off spot.
