Every forever home has its own story.
-[Drew] And we can't wait to help tell it. -[laughing]
It's been in our family, uh, for generations.
-Let me smash, let me smash! -Yeah.
[man] This is the next step.
[woman] The next chapter in my life.
-Hi-yah! Whoo! -[Drew] Love it!
-[Jonathan] After you. -Welcome home.
-[woman] Oh my goodness! -[man] Look at this!
-Oh, wow! -[laughing]
Let's go!
It feels like home.
-Whoa. -[all laughing]
[Jonathan] Come on in for group hug!
[laughter]
[upbeat music playing]
[Jonathan] I'm actually pretty excited to meet Bill and Emillie.
They dreamed of having this house still in the city,
but in a more rural area that feels like you're in the country.
It's stunning. I would love that.
You literally feel like you should be wearing a farmer's hat or something.
-Yeah, you can be right in the city. -Piece of straw.
-Oh, yeah. -Chewing on a piece of straw, wearing a farmer's hat.
Maybe that's their new look.
We met about six years ago.
I was working at a veterinary clinic at the time.
I'm a veterinarian myself, and, uh, she brought her cat in.
[Emillie] We have the two cats still,
though they're our love cats
-because they brought Bill and me together. -[chuckles] That's right.
[Emillie] And we got married in 2016
and bought our home here in 2018.
And then we had our son, Benjamin, in 2020.
And then we have another one on the way.
So, our family is growing.
We haven't been here for a... a very long time,
but I have memories around every corner of this house.
[Emillie] Benjamin, he took his first steps in this kitchen.
He learned his passion for cooking in this kitchen.
It's absolutely amazing here, it feels like us,
and I think we're going to just continue to grow into it.
I think Bill and Emillie are going to have to explain a few things here.
Because I like the view, but I'm confused by the house.
That looks like a front door, but I see trees.
[Drew] Yeah, I see through.
[knocks on door]
-[Drew] Hey. -[Emillie] Hi!
-[Jonathan] What is happening here? What... -[laughs]
[Jonathan] Is this your front door?
-[Emillie] Oh, it's going to get even weirder. -[Bill] Come on in.
It's a little bit more open than we like.
This is crazy. When you walk in your front door,
you're kicked into the backyard.
Yeah, and we did...
Okay, we hired somebody
-to do this upper area and all that. -[Drew] Oh.
-[Emillie] So, this is, like, new from when we moved in. -[Drew] You did a great job.
[Jonathan] Oh, so you did this.
-[Emillie] Yeah, this is us. -[Jonathan] Okay, great.
-This was my vision for my child. -[Bill] Yeah.
[Jonathan] Yeah. Well, and... and... and...
your family's growing.
-Yes, we are growing. -Right.
-We have our second baby due in a couple of months. -Yeah. Second baby on the way.
You want to have the place pretty comfy and... and ready to go.
-Exactly. That's the goal. -Yeah. No pressure, you guys,
-but we need this house done before I'm done. -[all laugh]
Mind if we take a peek inside?
-[Emillie] Through that door. -[Drew] So, wait. So, that's your front door?
So, that's our front door. Right.
-Literally as far back on your house as you go. -[Bill and Emillie laugh]
[Jonathan] Whoever built this house wanted to mess with people.
Because whether it's your guests,
whether it's the delivery person,
nobody would be able to figure out where to go on the front door.
[Bill] Welcome.
[Emillie] Well, yeah, exactly. Follow the welcome mats. [chuckles]
All right. This is a big space.
It's actually bigger than I was expecting.
We use this, obviously, as our drop all.
I mean, it's where our stroller goes, it's where everything goes.
But otherwise, it's completely useless.
What is it you would like to see here that's not working for you?
Just something more functional.
Like, where do you put your coat...
-[Bill laughs] -[Emillie] ...where can you, like, sit down?
When you walk in, you want it to be inviting for your guests.
The good thing is, it's a huge area.
-[Emillie] Okay. -[Jonathan] And there's so much potential.
-"Potential." That's the word of our house. -Yeah. [chuckles]
[Emillie] It's almost become like a curse word.
-Like, "there's so much potential!" -[laughs]
We have been ready for a renovation
probably since the first month that we lived here.
But, um, it's just become kind of too big of a project for us.
Out of the range of what we'd be able
-to accomplish by ourselves. -[Emillie] Yeah. Yeah.
I love that you have a whole wall of windows here,
but I can see that's single-pane.
Oh, yeah. In the afternoons, this area right here is particularly sweltering.
The biggest impact here would be changing out the windows.
That will help a lot.
-That sounds great, yes. -That makes a lot of sense.
[Drew] What about your desk, your office?
[Emillie] Yes, we do need a spot for, like, our computer
and, like, a couple of file cabinets of something.
[Drew] Sounds good.
We have our living room over here, slash Ben's playroom.
[Bill] Yeah, and a disguised fireplace.
-[Emillie chuckling] We've never used it. -[Drew] Oh.
Do you want to keep it, or do you--
[Emillie] Yeah, I think it's a really nice feature.
Yeah, we want to keep it. Uh, but we need to...
-we need to do something, uh, with the aesthetics of it. -Yeah.
[Bill] I just... I don't know about the white brick.
[Emillie] And... and that kind of awkward mantel.
But I see what you're saying here. It just feels like you're trying
to fix up something that felt tired.
-[Emillie] Right. -We can do a cleaner finish.
And this massive hearth is eating up a lot of space right now.
So, we can definitely make that smaller.
-Perfect. That sounds good. -It sounds great.
Yeah, just something that says, like,
-"Oh, look at me. I'm here, but I'm just kind of a piece." -Yeah.
What I'm saying is, everything is a multi-functioning space.
-You have a sofa and chair pushed all the way over here. -[Emillie] Hmm.
Another sofa pushed all the way over
-towards the kitchen. -[Emillie] Mmm-hmm.
All the way over there, it looks like a work station but you have a TV,
-so there's no way you can work at that desk. -[Emillie] Right. Right.
We need to separate your areas and give each one purpose.
-Yeah, that sounds amazing. -Yup, yup. Exactly.
-Exactly. -To actually have function in the house...
-Yeah. -I don't know what I would do with that.
But, um, our definite biggest struggle is probably the kitchen.
-[Jonathan] Oh, no. I just see it. -[Drew] Well I kinda see it,
you can tell there are some issues.
I'm seeing this countertop.
[Emillie] Don't you love that pink countertop?
-[Drew] It's... It just feels dated. I mean, if... -[Emillie] Yeah.
Sometimes, if you go too bold with a countertop,
-it can go out of style very fast. -[Emillie] Right.
-We have our little dust-collecting, um, cabinets. -[Drew] Yeah.
[Drew] And the cabinets, too,
-you've got doors that are falling off. -[Bill laughs]
-[Drew] What I'm noticing, though, is... -[Emillie] Mmm-hmm.
...you have all of this space here,
yet the kitchen is pretty much tucked
-into that little U. -[Emillie] Right.
[Bill] Our two-year-old son loves to help in the kitchen and cook,
and it's just too much with him and the both of us in this little space.
[Jonathan] I think the... the big thing will be...
-'cause it is, again, a strange layout... -[Emillie] Mmm-hmm.
And also from an aesthetic standpoint,
I'm assuming you're not a big fan of the linoleum.
[Emillie] Oh, please give me a better floor.
I think we actually had this in our house in the early '90s.
[all laugh]
-[Jonathan] There are some bumps... -[Emillie] Yes.
[Jonathan] ...and humps and everything.
We need to make sure that we don't have extreme humps and dips.
-Yeah. -Because then, your hardwood is not going to lay flat.
So, we'll check out, structurally make sure everything's safe here,
but I... I get...
-why the kitchen is probably the biggest headache here. -[Emillie] Yeah.
And it's so separated. So, if I'm in here and our kid is out there,
then I can't see him.
One of the biggest things would be
-if we can pull this wall back a little bit... -[Emillie] Yeah.
[Jonathan] ...and relocate the fridge and cabinets,
it would really open up the space to the living room.
[Emillie] As much as you can.
[Jonathan] Oh, yeah. Well, the... the... the nice thing is,
then, we could get a really big island in here
-which would be great breakfast bar seating. -[Bill] Right.
-[Jonathan] You need an island. -[Emillie] Yes.
-Yes, an island. Now, you're speaking my language. -[chuckles]
Lots of storage, lots of countertop space, open sightlines.
We do want some kind of dining table
'cause I have dreams of family dinners, the four of us.
-But it doesn't need to be its own dining room thing. -[Jonathan] Okay.
Actually, one thing we're not even talking about is,
do we want a real front door?
I would love to have a real front door
and welcome people in to a... to a nice area.
-That is the first impression. -[Emillie] Forget people.
-We could welcome ourselves in straight into the house. -[laughs]
[Jonathan] And the place that makes the most sense
is off the present dining room.
That actually feels like that's where the front door should be.
Then, you can enter directly from the road just outside
right into the main space.
You could have, like, a nice little mudroom here.
Yeah. Car, groceries straight into the house.
That would be incredible. [chuckles]
[Drew] So, we're talking about all the main spaces.
Living room, dining room and kitchen.
I mean, there's a lot to do. A lot of spaces. What's your budget?
Just cover Bill's mouth. Uh, $200,000.
-[Jonathan chuckles] -[Emillie] Right, Bill?
Yeah, that's fine.
Were you pinching him from behind? "Right, honey?"
I'm growing life, so I get to pick the budget. [chuckles]
Good point. That's a very good point.
[Jonathan] That's a substantial budget,
and that'll allow us to tackle so much on your wish list before the baby arrives.
-[Emillie] That sounds fair. -[Bill] Sounds great, yup.
Can you tell me what your style is?
And it's fine if it's different for both of you.
Uh, we definitely like, you know, clean, simple, not ornate.
[Emillie] I like a little bit of farmhouse, a little bit of rustic
but I like the white counters, I like the white,
and then I like to add little pops of color.
Bill says that feels too sterile.
You just feel like you're at work?
[laughs]
I'll show you something that can maybe pull that idea together
-without it being boring. -Right.
I can do up a couple of options,
show you what it would cost to do the different things,
and you can pick the things that make the most sense.
-Thank you. -[Bill and Emillie chuckle]
I'm noticing right now as we're sort of wrapping up our initial conversation,
it feels natural to want to leave this way.
-Obviously, there's no door there. -[all laugh]
-Yeah. Sorry, guys, you have to go back around the house. -Right. Yeah, go back around.
We're definitely nervous that the timing of having this baby
right with the renovation,
but I guess we're... We feel so safe with Jonathan and Drew
that I think it's going to be okay.
Hopefully, we can get this in under the wire.
[upbeat music playing]
[Jonathan] This is it.
-Last chance to say, "Mmm, maybe we'll wait." -[Bill laughs]
[Emillie] No, get me a hammer.
-[Bill] No, for real, like, I like this. -[Jonathan] Yeah.
Instead of pickles and ice cream, your craving is destruction.
It's destruction. Bring me a wall, whatever you've got.
It's actually been a minute since we've done demolition with somebody who's pregnant.
[Jonathan] All right, we got this, guys.
-[Emillie] Let's do it. -We got this.
There's a ton of demolition stuff we can do that's totally safe for her.
We're not going to over-exert. But at the end of the day,
I know she wants to be a part of it.
This is going to be the most transformational part of the demolition
because this kitchen is just not doing it.
No, this is it. We got to get rid of this.
-Well, you-- -The woman knows what she wants.
You know, we were talking about it when we were packing up this house,
and we were talking about our memories here,
-and I think it did bring up quite a bit of sentiment. -Yeah.
I mean, right here is where Ben took his first steps.
What sort of runs through your mind
when you think about the fact that you're about to bring another baby into the fold?
Well, I think that it's going to be amazing
to bring our baby home and start, like, new memories
-from the get-go. -[Bill] That's exactly right.
Well, let's get this out.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Can we have just Bill, like, run through the wall or something?
-You want to do the first hit? -Yeah, sure.
-[Emillie] Yeah, baby. Get it. -[Jonathan] Here.
-[Bill] Go, timber. -Whoo!
[Bill] Whoa.
Really excited, but I'm nervous. We've been working so hard
to get the house all packed up.
My God, you cracked the wall. Yeah, babe. Whoo!
[Bill] Now, we're onto that next phase and, uh...
I mean, once we take down some walls,
there's no turning back. [chuckles]
No. Now, it's full steam ahead.
[exclaims]
[Jonathan] Uh, did you just see the sexy...
-one-armed door rip? -[Emillie] Huzzah!
Whoo, yeah!
[Jonathan] And I... I asked Emillie several times.
I'm like, "Are you sure? You don't have to do this. This is totally fine."
And she's like, "Get me the hammer.
-I want to break stuff." -[Emillie] Huzzah!
Watch out.
I don't even know why I'm here.
[chuckles] What else do we got?
Okay, ma'am.
-Oh, yeah. There we go. -[Bill] Oh, here we go.
-That's our spot. -There it is, love.
[Emillie] All right, we're prying.
-One, two, three. -[Bill] Three.
-[Emillie] Oh, my God. -[Jonathan] Keep going, keep going.
[Bill] You looked great with that demo hammer.
-You were doing a great job. -Thanks.
-[Jonathan] Boom. -[Emillie exclaims]
-Oh, my God. -Amazing.
I mean, I probably would have taken down our whole house
if you had given me the time.
[both laugh]
[Jonathan] We're continuing to demo Emillie and Bill's main space
right down to the studs to make way for big changes
and breaking up the fireplace hearth in the living room
that was eating up way too much space.
But I'm most excited to turn the old window at the front of the house
into something this house desperately needs.
How many front doors do you have?
Definitely one.
-[Jonathan] Just one? -Just one.
Okay. This one, it's like a mystery. But it's like those '70s game shows.
-"What's behind door number four?" -[chuckles]
-That's right. -"Oh, you're still not in the house."
They already have the header in place, so the structure's there.
No matter which option they choose,
-they're getting a new front door. -Absolutely.
[rock music playing]
[sawing]
[grunts] Whoa.
-[Ryan] Yeah, buddy. -[Jonathan exhales] Oh.
"This is where your package goes.
-Here's the delivery, sir." -[laughs] Yeah.
[rock and roll music playing]
Nothing like the ocean in the morning to inspire you.
-Oh, my God. It's beautiful. -This is gorgeous.
[Drew] Bill and Emillie have a farm home.
They say they like a farm style
but they don't exactly know what that means.
I'm really hoping this restaurant will show them a few things
to pull them outside of too safe a design.
I don't want this to be boring.
-[Emillie] Oh, wow. -[Bill] Wow.
It's a great space.
-Oh, my God. Just so gorgeous. -[Emillie] Oh, this is so cool.
[Drew] And I feel that there's a lot of the vibe that you have here
that actually would work with that California farm vibe that you want in your home.
-Yeah, I like that, actually. -Yeah. Yep.
-[Emillie] That's really nice. -[Bill] The exposed wood.
[Drew] Yeah, all the natural wood tones throughout.
The problem is that I know that I want, like, white and clean,
and Bill feels like that is sterile and boring.
Yeah. I don't want anything too super-sterile.
The patterned tile is beautiful, you know, in, like, a small area.
I want flow of hardwood all the way through. Right, Bill?
-[Bill] Oh, definitely, yeah. I'm just, uh... -Yeah.
A pattern somewhere might be really nice.
-Mmm-hmm. Okay. -Yeah, like, just, say for a pop of excitement.
-Pop of oomph. -A little pop.
You know, a little something-something.
[Drew] We can definitely add areas of texture and interest.
Now, for lighting,
-we don't have this kind of ceiling height. -[Emillie] Right.
[Drew] So, we can figure out something that... that is lower-profile
doesn't feel like it's closing things in.
-That's great. Yeah. -That makes sense.
[Drew] Wood tones, though. You like a lot of wood tones?
[Emillie] I love the wood tones, and I like these lighter wood tones.
This table, you can see there's a lot of variation in the colors.
So, we don't have to have all the wood tones the same.
With the restaurant, I was shocked how many features it had
and how cohesive they all went together.
-The wood, the metals. -[Bill] That exciting tile.
[Emillie] Yeah, they were all different.
But it worked. It had a good feel.
[Drew] So, for your countertops,
you can see this is an off-white.
It definitely has a warm tone underneath.
Is that something you're interested in?
Yeah, I... I might want something a little bit darker than this, but...
Okay, is veining something that makes a countertop, like, more special?
Yeah, instead of just a solid white or... or cream like this,
we could get something that's a manmade product.
That has that veining, it looks like marble, but it's zero-maintenance.
I like that zero-maintenance, please.
-That's the name of our game. -We... We can do that.
[Drew] Do you want white for the cabinets or--
[Emilie] Ugh. See, I would say yes, but Bill wouldn't.
That just feels almost too sterile.
[Drew] So, maybe we can go with shades of grey in the cabinets?
I agree with you. We can't go white all the way across everything,
but something not to, like, close off our space.
We can bring color into the living room
and in the dining area in some accents.
-Accent color. -That sounds... That sounds like us,
kind of like on that border of, like, really simple and modern but cool.
[Drew] As I show Emilie more options,
she's starting to like more of an eclectic feel.
This is good. It means she will not have a boring design.
What do you want for your seating?
Because you're gonna have a great size dining space.
-[Emilie] I like the idea of a bench... -[Bill] Yeah.
[Emilie] ...'cause you can, like, shove a bunch
-of people on it. [chuckles] -[Bill] Oh, yeah.
A bench sounds wonderful, just maybe a little more padded.
-Yeah, we can do something fabric, yeah. -Yeah.
Yeah, that works.
-Come on back here, grab seat. -[Bill] Oh, sure.
[Drew] Slide into the bench here.
I wanna talk to Jonathan about how we can incorporate a bench,
whether we would do something built-in
or whether we would just do something free-standing for your table and bench.
Is there any way, like, with the bench, we could get some storage under it?
We wanna get you as much storage as possible in the house.
[Emilie] Yes, please.
Oh, looking over here at this patterned wood,
um, I do really like this, in terms of having a little bit
of texture on the walls, maybe not the whole house
-but at least in, like, an area. -Yeah. I think
it adds a little bit of interest.
And this is why I'm glad you're here in person to see it
because I feel that you were wanting to go way too safe.
But now seeing it, like, all cohesive,
it really... It looks good.
[Bill] In terms of, uh, how are design styles kind of interact, uh,
I really think we found a compromise.
I think we're on the same page.
-I'm totally inspired. -[Bill] Yeah.
-[Drew] It's so gorgeous out here. -[Bill] Oh, my gosh.
-[Emilie] Well, this is beautiful. -[Bill] Absolutely beautiful.
-[Emilie] Can you get us some waves in our house? -[Bill laughs]
-[Emilie laughs] -[Drew] You already have the mountains.
-We'll move the ocean to you. -[Bill] Yeah. [laughs]
You probably don't even realize how much this is exactly in line
-with your style. -Yeah.
-That was a huge take home message. -Yeah.
I'm gonna start looking for inspiration everywhere.
You narrowed it down nicely, and I put "not boring" on my list eight times.
-[laughs] -Perfect, then we're good to go.
We're, uh... We're definitely getting a little bit more nervous about this pregnancy
as we're getting closer to the end here
and we're keeping our fingers crossed
baby doesn't do anything silly. [chuckles]
[Drew] Since you were last here, we finished demoing your house.
Get ready for a bit of a shock.
-[Jonathan] Ready? After you. -[Emilie] Oh, my God.
[Bill] Oh, ho!
-Bill, there's a front door. -Incredible. Yeah. [chuckles]
-[Emilie] Oh, my God. [chuckles] -[Drew] After you.
-Oh. -That's our new front door?
[Bill] Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh, look at this. [chuckles]
The new front door was pretty wild, wasn't it?
It was very weird to be led into our home
in a totally different way. [chuckles]
-Oh, my goodness, this is crazy! -[Bill] Oh, my gosh.
[Jonathan] This shows you the bigger footprint
-and what the potential is for this entire space. -Oh, my gosh.
-Wow, this room is actually really big, -Feels huge, doesn't it?
-Well, that's what happens when you take a wall down. -Oh, my gosh.
-Right. [laughs] -[laughs]
And now we have to figure out what we wanna do to rebuild.
-Perfect. Sounds good. -Sounds good. Yeah, let's rebuild.
Okay, option one.
We give you a front door! Front door.
[cheering]
Your postman actually asked us to do that as well.
Let's try to not mention the postman
-right now with the... -[laughs]
[chuckles] Too soon, too soon.
[chuckling] I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Option one, coming in your new front door,
we would redo the whole area here.
Expand your kitchen, give you state-of-the-art appliances,
gorgeous counters, you'd have an island.
-[Emilie] What? -[Jonathan] You'd have extra seating.
You'd get a built-in dedicated desk area,
flooring that continues all the way through.
-[Bill] Ooh. -[Jonathan] In the living room,
you'd get new energy efficient windows all across the back here.
[Emilie] That's amazing.
[Jonathan] And you'd have this beautiful lounging area in here.
-We'd reduce the size of your hearth... -[Emilie] Mmm-hmm.
[Jonathan] ...and finish it, so that you just have this great living area
and a built-in banquette.
-[Bill] Wow. That sounds amazing. -[Emilie] Banquette.
Oh, that sounds so beautiful.
Okay, option one comes in at $192,000,
would take eight weeks to complete.
-Oh, my God. Incredible. -Love it. That... [chuckles.]
-Check, check, check. Okay. -Yeah. [chuckles]
Option two, exact same living room,
TV, fireplace, built-in banquette.
The only difference is instead of expanding
-the kitchen across into the front room... -[Emilie] Mmm-hmm.
[Jonathan] ...we would actually build you a mudroom in that area.
-[Bill] Hmm. -[Emilie] Oh.
-[Jonathan] So, you'd have storage for jackets, shoes... -[Emilie] Unload.
[Jonathan] ...somewhere to sit down, somewhere to unload.
-Ooh, a mudroom. -A mudroom would be really nice.
-A little storage area. -We'd have, like, a spot to dump everything.
Just, you know, welcoming people to the home.
I think it's just gonna be absolutely wonderful.
Option two comes in at $190,000
-and exact same timeline of eight weeks. -[Emilie] Mmm-hmm.
I... I think both sound really great.
-I mean, the mudroom would be really useful. -Right.
Keep your coats and you shoes all by the entrance area.
-That would be really nice. -But no expanded kitchen?
-I mean, we just spend so much time in the kitchen. -Right.
-And it's only gonna get more time, right? -Mmm-hmm.
-Keep in mind, in a rural area like this... -[Emilie] Uh-huh.
...a lot of muddy spots out back
-potentially to traipse into the house... -Mmm-hmm.
-[Jonathan] ...so-- -[Bill and Emilie] Right.
No, I mean, just think about two kids just throwing off clothes and boots
at the entrance and having a nice place to put everything.
I think it'd be really nice from that stand point.
-Bill my big kitchen. [laughs] -Um-- [laughs]
I think... I think a big kitchen
-is, uh... is the main priority. -Oh, you're so right, babe.
-[Drew] Oh, I love it-- -This is your idea.
-I love how you guys worked through, uh, issues. -[Emilie] You tell them.
All right, so we want you to tell us, option one or option two?
Are we... Are we good? I'm good. I know what I want.
Oh, yeah, we're good.
Two squeezes for one. One squeeze for two. Wait. [indistinct]
-We don't need any squeezes. We're good. Option one. -Option one.
-All right. -Okay, great.
-[exclaims] -I cannot wait for you to see this kitchen,
-to see this whole space. -[Bill] Oh, my gosh.
-I'm so excited. -Yeah.
-Mmm-hmm. -This is gonna be the kitchen of our dreams.
-Hmm. It's a good trade. -I can feel it already.
-Oh, yeah. -Well, now that we have this beautiful
new front entry, go ahead and use it.
-And don't come back until we call you... -Yes.
-...when it's all done. -[Emilie] Okay.
-[Jonathan] All right? -Nearly out of time.
[all laugh]
Quick question, how... how many weeks are you at?
31 weeks.
-[Drew] So you have? -Nine weeks to go.
-We have a one-week buffer. -A one-week buffer.
-No pressure. [laughs] -All right.
[Jonathan] We need open things up between the kitchen and living room
and that means we require three massive beams
to support the heavy weight of the roof,
and those beams need to rest on a really solid foundation.
Before my engineer can even provide us with a plan,
he needs to know what kind of a foundation he's dealing with
so we're digging through all the concrete hoping for rebar.
[Drew] Whoo-hoo.
-Yeah? -Any rebar yet?
Well, we'll know in, like, two seconds.
[Drew groans]
-No rebar at all. -[man] Nothing.
[Drew] That's too bad.
[Jonathan] Unfortunately, bare minimum,
we're gonna need to add rebar,
pour concrete footings to beef up the structure.
And there's another issue, there's no movement at all in this slab over here.
It's perfectly level, not even a crack.
Over there, you can see,
-it's a little bit off, so... -[Drew] Yeah, I see it.
[Jonathan] ...we'll have to wait until the engineer gives us his report
just to know what kind of shape we're in.
Well, we definitely have to get rid of the hump. I mean, this is no good.
We wanna make sure that everything is perfectly level.
I hate to do all this work, lay all this new flooring,
and then, in two years, boom, you also can see
-hardwood popping up. -Yeah.
-That's the last thing we want to happen for these guys. -Yeah.
Emilie and Bill are expecting their baby in less than eight weeks.
Foundation problems are the last thing that we need,
they're time-consuming, they're costly, but there's no way around 'em.
I mean, as long as we can get the engineer in here right away,
we should be fine.
I know we only have, like, this one week of wiggle room.
-Right. -This will eat into that.
However, I think we can keep working on everything else at the same time.
You chisel and cut. I'll make a call to the engineer.
-Let's keep things moving. -You know what? I'm already chiseled.
-[laughs] -Do you wanna help?
True. The best way to keep chiseled is to keep chiseling.
-[laughs] All right, let's do it. -[laughs] All right.
But we gotta go quite a bit bigger.
While we wait for the engineer to tell us
how to proceed with the structure and foundation
we can move ahead on the one thing this house needs the most.
A front door.
-Hang out. -I love the fact that we got a header already in place,
that was from the window that was here
and our door is slightly smaller than that.
So we can use the existing structure.
I actually just think it's pretty amazing
that they lived here this long without actually trying to put a door in.
I... I think I would've lasted a month here.
I feel like they're stealing the joy
of the neighborhood kids being able to ding-dong ditch them.
-You can't take that from the kids. -No.
[whirring]
This is the first impression people will have of the new place.
-We want it to be gorgeous. -Gorg.
We heard back from the engineer,
and the structural situation with the beams is so much worse than we thought.
To open things up in here,
not only do we have to install rebar, pour footings,
and put posts in places where the beams are gonna come down,
we also have to dig trenches around the entire perimeter of the house
and reinforce the outside with rebar, too.
We have to make sure this house is structurally sound
and completely safe.
It's gonna cost an extra $10,000.
But worse than that, it's gonna take another eight weeks
while we reapply for permits and get all the additional inspections.
So we will not have this place done before the baby arrives
and this is gonna be pretty stressful for Emilie and Bill.
This is not a phone call that I wanna make.
[phone ringing]
-[Emilie] Hello. -[Jonathan] Hey.
-Hey, what's up? -How you doing?
Can I just say how cute you guys look.
Are you trying to butter us up for something?
I am. 'Cause, unfortunately, I don't have very good new.
-[Emilie] Hello. -Hey.
-Hey, what's up? -How you doing?
Can I just say how cute you guys look.
Are you trying to butter us up for something?
I am. 'Cause, unfortunately, I don't have very good new.
[Emilie] What's going on?
It turns out opening things up between the kitchen and the family room
is a lot more work than we anticipated.
[Emilie and Bill] Oh.
The slab is in really rough shape.
It's not up to code. To bring everything up to code,
I mean, it's gonna be almost $10,000.
-[Emilie] 10 grand? -[Bill] Oh, my God.
That's a good chunk of change.
These are serious problems.
It's actually not even just the money,
it's also gonna take a little more time.
-Hmm. -Oh, no, no,
time is not what we have. [chuckles]
I mean, not only is it, like, kind of a... a money issue,
but it's also a time issue. Like, this baby is coming.
This is not a pressure of wanting to be back in my house.
-This is a pressure of needing to be back in my house. -[chuckles] Yeah.
I just feel so bad, because a new baby means
parents wanna have that comfort and routine of home more than ever
and they wanna save money, not spend it.
We were planning for this renovation to take eight weeks,
and now it is gonna double to four months.
We are not gonna be ready for the baby
and that is gonna be pretty hard news for them to take.
I will save the money wherever I can
and I'll speed up construction in any way that I can,
but we just have to wait on the city for all these approvals
and there's not really anything else we can do.
We wanna keep things moving along for Emilie and Bill's house,
so while we wait on the approvals from the city,
Drew and I are gonna start to focus on the finishes
for this modern farmhouse design.
I figured you'd be impressed with my attention to detail.
You used some AI for this, didn't you?
Yeah, I used me, "Andrew intelligence."
-"Andrew intelligence"? [chuckles] -[Drew] Yeah.
[Jonathan] They don't have a ton of square footage,
but we want something that still feels fresh and inviting.
And knowing that they're in the country,
it has to have a lot of those wood tones and country vibes.
[Drew] Well, I think the bench where we're gonna do
the dining area, that wood tone is gonna be perfect,
it's gonna really be a nice draw for the space.
[Jonathan] Let me pull a wood tone.
[Drew] Something very natural.
[Jonathan] Yeah. [Drew] I mean, I think this is just a beautiful tone.
[Jonathan] They want pops of color the design,
so for our cushion, blues probably?
[Drew] That's kind of nice.
I like the little gold touch in there, too.
-What about this? -[Jonathan] Yeah, exactly.
[Drew] Yeah, I like that.
[Jonathan] So, what about out kitchen?
They just want light and fresh.
They don't need a multi-colored kitchen.
Possibly semi-custom to save on budget.
Creamy white?
[Drew] Actually, we could do tall shaker, too.
You know, something that's a little bit more modern, not to thick.
I would say between these two.
I think this is nice. There's a fresh feel to it.
[Drew] They want light countertops as well?
[Jonathan] Yes, light throughout the entire kitchen.
Something with veining, kind of like that?
[Drew] Well, since there's gonna be a lot of light in there,
maybe it is nice to get a little more veining.
When I took Emilie and Bill to that ocean side restaurant for inspiration,
Bill loved the wall panel detail.
So, what if we go with the textured wallpaper here instead?
In the dining area, it'll sort of add some depth to that side of the house.
Yeah, no, this will be nice.
[Drew] And give them a neutral texture
without the cost of a custom wood treatment.
Okay, flooring.
My recommendation would be a little lighter
-than the other wood work that we're doing. -[Drew] Okay.
[Jonathan] It complements the cabinets, it complements the counters.
[Drew] The bench.
And I think opening things up alone will make their space transform.
-Yeah. -Now, there's gonna have this beautiful view
-and a beautiful home to go with it. -Yeah.
[Jonathan] Waiting is never easy,
but thankfully, we got the permits
for the structural work at Bill and Emilie's,
and we are back at it.
We have a lot of ground to cover
to get this house structurally sound
and completely up to code.
First, we have to install rebar,
not only in the places where the footings will be poured
to hold up our three huge beams,
but also along the outside wall
where support was really lacking.
Then we can pour the huge amounts of concrete
required to hold everything in place
and make the footings for our beams rock solid.
The massive structural overhaul of Bill and Emilie's house
has put us way behind schedule,
but it was necessary to make the house safe.
But in the meantime, we're crossing our fingers for an inspection next week.
And we actually did today get the best news ever.
Beautiful baby Sophie has arrived.
[Drew] We're happy to hear that Emilie and Sophie are doing well.
I remember when Parker as born,
I can't imagine Linda not being able to recover at home.
So every day, week, month of delays that we have,
it's stressing us out. We just wanna get this family back in their home.
[Drew] With the inspection complete,
we can finally put in the beams
that will make it possible to open everything up.
These guys wanted great flow
between their kitchen, living and dining room.
And now we can give it to them.
Emillie's dream was to have
a true chef's kitchen in the front of the house
with a huge stunning island,
lots of storage and ample room to cook and entertain.
But in order to give her that,
we had to reframe the entire main living area.
Today, we're opening up the side walls
so we can frame up a new window
that'll give them the view from the kitchen sink
all the way to their backyard farm.
[Jonathan] Doesn't wanna go?
-[man] No. -[Jonathan] It's... There's always one.
Oh my gosh, I feel like everything in this house
is a pain in the butt.
You know, some houses, you start demoing,
oh, things are where they're supposed to be,
you can re-use as much.
Very little here can be re-used.
That's so true.
I keep saying to myself,
it'll be worth the window.
-It'll be worth the window. -[chuckles]
[Jonathan] We're never gonna completely make up
for the eight weeks we lost
due to all the unforeseen structural issue.
But we can pick up the pace.
Once the new kitchen windows are in,
our trades will be pulling long shifts
getting all the rest of the plumbing and electrical installed.
[Jonathan] We have only four weeks left
so we're pulling in
every favor we can
to get this job done.
We're putting in a new sliding door
where their old entry used to be.
It'll give this family
a better and more convenient access
to their gorgeous backyard farm
and let in a lot more light.
That looks way better. Look at that.
Five foot, quarter inch.
-Perfect for our five foot slider. -Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Sometimes it's nice to have...
a door you can slide open.
You don't have to worry about the wind grabbing it,
crashing it close, or anything like that.
Give you the flow that you need and, you know,
play time in the backyard,
birthday parties, you name it.
Run inside to grab something from the kitchen,
living room, all of a sudden.
This is just gonna improve everything.
-They're truly gonna love this place. -Yeah.
I'm not getting emotional. I'm just...
-I have some saw dust in my eyes. -Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Trust me, it is actually just saw dust. -[imitating crying]
I know, I saw.
[both laughing]
[Jonathan] Bill and Emillie had really old single pane windows
that made this house unbearably hot in the summer heat.
So we're replacing them with all new energy efficient windows
that will keep the house at the perfect temperature
and reduce their energy costs.
And it's finally time to give these guys what they've been missing.
We're installing a gorgeous glass front door
that will not only look great
but will let in an incredible amount of light.
And with everything opened up
and all surfaces structurally sound
we're putting up drywall.
It's already making this space feel so much more defined.
Finally we're pouring concrete over the bumps in the kitchen
to make everything perfectly level.
This is gonna be so good.
You know that feeling you get when the big boss shows up
to find that why your job is behind schedule?
Well, that's what I feel like right now with baby Sophie
because baby Sophie's arrived
and is not able to come home.
Yeah, but don't be fooled by that cute little baby face
because I am still afraid of disappointing her.
[Jonathan] Now that the walls are closed up
we can start to work on the finishes
which will be nice.
But I wanna make sure that this house
is not just functioning better for this expanded family,
it's also stylish.
I can't wait to see the grill back in, the logs,
and have it actually look like a feature
that you wanna huddle around.
Well, that stucco finish looks so much cleaner
than the brick and it feels less intrusive
into the space. I love it.
[Jonathan] It needed a little bit of a... a trim.
-[Drew] Yeah. -Little fireplace haircut.
This is the right size. You can tell that it fits the space perfectly.
[Drew grunts] Got so much junk in here.
A lot of junk in this trunk.
[Ryan laughs]
But this is sort of like that little trick.
If you have that beautiful fireplace feature like this,
but you leave the box looking old, and dated, and rough.
If you have a new facade, just painted out, like makes it look like it's brand new.
Makes a huge difference.
[Drew] This feels more low profile than it did before
and I think it's helping reflect the light
-and make it feel bigger in here. -For sure.
[Jonathan] All of our slab issues,
foundation problems, have been fixed
and our flooring is beautiful and level. Looks great.
A whole lotta [whistles] coming into this house.
[Drew] Now that the floors are perfectly level,
we can put in their cabinets in that huge beautiful island.
These guys said they want a luxury kitchen
and we took that to heart.
And now we're gonna put in that gorgeous farmhouse sink.
-I think that's enough. Yeah? -Yeah.
Actually let's just dry fit it.
-Give you a hand. -I mean, it's pretty heavy.
But I work out. watch your hand.
-[Ryan chuckles] -[Drew] Hold up. Yeah.
[Ryan] Oh, yeah.
Measure the front.
-Check the size. -Should do it.
This is gorgeous. I can picture her here looking out the window
at a beautiful view of kids, chickens, maybe even horses.
Bill skipping through the yard.
-[chuckles] -I mean,
that's where your front door should be, not at the back to the house.
[Ryan] For sure.
[Drew] At the Malibu restaurant
where I took Emillie and Bill for inspiration,
they realized that they really liked the idea
of having a stylish banquette with storage in their space
instead of a regular old dining table.
And we thought the perfect place for one
is close to the fireplace in the living room.
Doesn't the millwork around the banquette look beautiful?
I think it was a really cost effective way
to add so much more function into this space.
-How you doing? -Good.
Here we have a statement fixture
we're putting in the dining room.
[Jonathan] 'Cause you have that beautiful grasscloth
the nice, warm tone of the wood,
the round table.
Having a statement fixture centered over that table
will make everything feel purposeful.
It's just gonna feel serene.
Bill and Emillie needs serene, especially with a new baby.
Actually, you... you probably have some advice for them.
Yeah, well, they have advice for me
because they have an older kid,
and then they've probably forgot everything
so now I can give them advice.
-Yeah, so it's fresh in your mind right now. -Yeah.
-All right, let's get this up. -Resume.
Just the second one.
-Up again. -There you go.
You good?
-[Jonathan] Ho, ho, ho! Look at that. -[Drew] Ooh!
[Drew] This kitchen is the first thing you see
when you walk in Emillie and Bill's brand new front door.
So it had to be a complete knockout.
Gorgeous stone counters, huge beautiful island,
and tons of room and storage.
Their old kitchen was a disaster,
but this one, a complete show stopper.
It's getting so close,
we brought in so many reinforcements
to get everything done right down to the dressing.
We did double the timeline on this project.
But, we have the satisfaction of knowing
that this house is now safe
for this beautiful, young, family.
Bill and Emillie can finally love their new home,
their amazing country in the city life
and their new baby.
[Jonathan] So many chairs.
Isn't it so much better?
Hold on. Why does your fruit
look so much nicer than my fruit?
I'm just oranges. And you're bringing in the exotics.
[Katelyn] I just got lucky.
-Oh my gosh, talk about a world of difference. -Really?
I think they're gonna be shocked
walking into a kitchen
with an island that is as long as this one.
It's just gonna be amazing.
This is really gonna be the family hub.
Walking in the front door
will be an enjoyable experience now
-because before, it was walking into a wall. -[Drew] Yeah. [laughs]
So this is gonna blow their minds.
[Jonathan] The fireplace...
-looks phenomenal. -[Drew] It's gorgeous.
[Jonathan] It anchors everything.
It actually makes this now feel like a more intimate space.
I just want to sit here and stare at this fireplace
because it was such a beast before,
it was a monstrosity.
It was like you in the morning.
-Hard to look at. -[Drew laughs]
-Still is. -I think we're good.
I say we get Emillie and Bill, let's see what they think.
All right.
-[Emillie] Oh. -[Drew] Hmm?
-[Emillie] I see a door. -[Bill] Oh, there you go.
-[Emillie] Oh my God, there's a door. -[Bill laughs]
[Jonathan] Now you don't need your old backyard door
to get into the house.
-[Bill] Oh my goodness. Wow. -[Emillie] Oh my gosh. Here we go.
[Bill] Oh my gosh.
[gasps]
[Emillie] It's happening, Bill, it's happening.
-[Bill] Oh my goodness. -[Emillie] Oh my gosh.
-[Bill] Wow. -[Emillie] Here we go.
[Bill] Oh my gosh.
[both] Wow!
Oh my God, it's so beautiful.
[Bill] Oh my gosh, incredible.
-[Emillie] This is amazing. -[Bill] Can you believe it?
[Emillie] It's huge.
Did you guys add square footage?
We did not.
Uh, you would think... I mean it does feel...
-It feels taller, it feels wider. -[Bill] Yeah.
It feels so huge.
-Look at how big this island is. -[Bill] I don't know how they
got this island in here.
[Jonathan] Ben has tons of room to cook.
You can even take the kids into
-a fashion runway show along here. -Yeah, I think.
[Bill] It's totally transformed by the addition of this massive island.
[Emillie] It's huge.
I thought you guys are gonna give us, like, a little two foot island.
-This is huge. -[Bill laughs] Yeah.
Do I look like a two foot island kind of guy?
[Jonathan] I mean, come on, I'm insulted.
Then the passive color.
-These look so cute. -[Bill] Yeah.
-Oh my God. And there's storage everywhere. -[Bill chuckles] Yeah.
[Jonathan] You have pantry storage.
[Emillie] Oh, yeah, the storage. Excuse me.
[Bill laughs]
-No problem. -[Emillie] Oh my God, that...
This is absolutely staying.
I can't believe how deep they are.
-We've never had storage like this. -[Bill] Oh my gosh, no.
-It's perfect. Oh my God. -Bill, look at the sink.
-[Bill] Perfect. -[Emillie] Oh my gosh,
-this is just gorgeous. -[Bill] Oh my gosh.
[Emillie] Look at these windows.
This is, like, amazing.
I had high and high hopes for this,
definitely exceeded it. That's for sure.
This was such a useless space before over here.
-[Emillie] It was. Was this... -This is the dining room area. [Bill] Yeah.
[Jonathan] This feels like the floor plan
that you guys really needed.
Great open flow and clearly defined spaces.
It's all... It's all cohesive. It's all together.
-We can walk around freely. -Oh, yeah.
-The mailman is gonna love you -[Emillie laughs]
-'cause he has a door to come to. -[Jonathan] Oh this is where
-we put the packages. -[Drew] Yeah.
Thanks guys. [laughs]
[Jonathan] What'd you think of the appliances?
They are top of the line.
[Emillie] This is so fancy.
-We never would have... -Yeah. Exactly.
-known what to pick and what to get. -[Drew] Yeah.
-[Emillie] Look at this stove top. -[Bill] Yeah, oh my gosh.
-The pot filling I love. -[Emillie gasps] I...
That's how you know you've made it in life,
when you have a pot filler.
[all laughing]
-So Bill, we made it in life. [laughs] -Yeah. [laughs]
[Emillie] Oh my gosh, look at... I mean, this is all just so beautiful.
Oh, I love that the buttons are on top.
-'Cause I really... -Dishwasher in here.
-No way, really? -Oh wow.
-[Emillie gasps] That is so me. -[Bill] Oh my gosh.
And look, the fridge.
-This is so gorgeous. -Absolutely.
Oh my God. Absolutely perfect.
And you came up with, like, the perfect combination of counter top.
-Mmm-hmm. -I know we were, like,
-you know, plain, vein, vein, plain. -[Drew] Okay.
Let's all be honest...
It took you a while to figure out how to communicate
-what you were looking for. -[laughs]
But you really wanted to have a modern farmhouse vibe
and I feel you've got that.
[Emillie] You did it. You nailed it.
It doesn't feel too farmhouse, it doesn't feel too modern.
-It feels somewhere right down the middle. -[Bill] Yup, exactly. Yeah.
-[Emillie] Oh my God, and-- -[Jonathan] I can already picture the kids,
when they're getting older,
-they're sitting at the breakfast bar here. -Yes.
-Bill we're gonna line up the little kids there. -Yeah.
Oh, we need to have more kids. There's more seats.
[laughs] Yeah.
-Uh, well, looking at this kitchen, I'm saying. -Look at... look at the desk.
-[Drew] Mmm-hmm. -[Emillie] Ah, gorgeous.
[Bill] And this is a perfect spot for it. We can...
-[Emillie] Oh, Bill, look at our photo! -[Bill] Oh my gosh.
That is baby Ben.
-It's baby Ben. -He was only five days old
when we took this.
That's a tribute to Sophie
because we didn't have a five day old picture of her.
They look identical, so this could be either one.
[laughs] To be honest.
This floor is gorgeous.
[Jonathan] Oh yeah, this floors... And you know what,
they're meant to take a bit of a beating.
-Okay. -I mean, the kids can come running through here.
-I just love that it's light. -[Bill] Mmm-hmm.
-[Jonathan] So it's not gonna show all the dirt either. -Yeah.
When you're standing here,
-look at your view, look at the living room. -[Bill] Oh.
-[Jonathan] Doesn't it feel like a whole different house? -[Bill] Absolutely.
-[Emillie] It is a whole different house. -[Bill] It's crazy, I mean,
I'm just saying, I knew it was gonna be a big transformation.
But I really cannot believe it.
Keep in mind, we didn't actually raise the ceiling.
-But by cleaning it up, -[Bill] Mmm-hmm.
-it looks a heck of a lot better. -It feels taller.
-[Drew] Why don't we get into your living space? -[Bill] Oh, sure.
[Emillie] This is a huge couch.
What is this like, a 16 person sofa?
Yep, minimum.
[Jonathan] Suited for how
-you're gonna grow in this house. -[Emillie] Yeah.
[Jonathan] The kids need space. They're gonna have friends over.
[Emillie] Yeah, I feel like Bill and I
were thinking of, like,
right now what we wanted
and you guys were thinking, like,
ten years down the road what do we need.
So I appreciate that forethought
'cause now we don't have to have it.
Oh my gosh, look at the extra seating
and the storage over here.
-[Emillie] Oh, that is so cute. -[Bill] Oh my gosh,
it's gorgeous.
-[Jonathan] Very functional for kids. -[Bill] Yeah.
-You know you wanna. Do it. -Can you sit down? Please sit down.
[Drew] It just got even cuter.
-[Jonathan] Come on. Get in there. -Aww, Bill.
Come here.
-Oh, and there's a slider. -Ah, there is...
This is how you lock it.
That locks it.
-And then when you pull it out here, then you can open. -[Bill] Oh, very good.
-Oh my God, this is so, like, useful. -[Bill] Wow.
[Jonathan] And all the new windows,
will make this room really energy efficient.
Why don't we pop in to your dining and fireplace area?
-[Emillie] Oh my gosh. -What do you think?
-[Bill] Gosh, -[Emillie] Look at that fireplace.
Oh my God.
Oh my gosh, the fireplace looks beautiful, doesn't it?
-[Emillie] Fireplace is gorgeous. -[Bill] Oh my gosh.
[Emillie] Absolutely gorgeous.
[Jonathan] You think this is better than the brick that was here before?
[Emillie] Yeah, a little bit.
[Bill] They turned it a little bit,
but it still feels so compact, doesn't it?
-But it's like, a statement piece. -Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
Oh my gosh, this is so gorgeous.
[Jonathan] And you guys didn't want a formal dining room,
you asked for a great banquette.
Did you anticipate this much entertaining space?
-Dining space? -[Emillie] No. Look, we all fit.
-I mean, more than us. -[Bill laughs] Yeah.
-[Jonathan] You can get more friends over here. -[Bill laughs] Yeah.
-[Emillie] And this is so fancy. -[Bill] Yeah, the wall color
has a little texture.
[Jonathan] Grasscloth.
[Emillie and Bill] Wow.
[Emillie] There's something about a round tables.
-Isn't there? -[Drew] It's sexy.
-[Emillie] Yeah. -They're great for game nights.
Oh my God. Game nights and anything else.
And again, tons of storage.
-You're sitting on top of the counter storage. -Actually, yeah,
-if you stand up for one sec. -[Emillie] No way.
-[Bill] Oh my gosh. -[Emillie] Storage is my love language.
-And this is... this is happening. -[all laugh]
This is so crazy.
Now, this footprint feels right.
Before you had so many zones that were under-utilized,
and they kind of felt like an afterthought.
I can picture you using every square inch now.
[Emillie] At the same time even, right?
Like, I'm over here, the kids are over there,
it's no big deal. Bill's in the kitchen,
-like, we're all together. -Yeah.
How is Sophie doing?
-Sophie's amazing. -Yes, she's doing absolutely great.
We don't even remember a time before her now.
-[laughs] -Can we meet her.
-I would love for you guys to meet her. -[Drew] And Ben.
-And Ben, yeah. -[Drew] Bring the family over,
let's have some fun.
[Emillie] Let's do it. [chuckles]
To be in that space
compared to the... the way the house was before,
it's just, I mean, It's hard to describe the...
the transformation.
It's amazing what they were able to accomplish
while keeping, like, the same...
Well, it's not a layout. 'Cause they changed the layout.
But I mean, like, yep, the same walls,
but it looks different. Well, except the walls that they got rid of.
Okay, never mind it's totally different
-and it's amazing. -Yeah.
[woman] Could you imagine a front door?
[Jonathan and Drew] Welcome home, everybody.
-Oh wow. -Oh my goodness.
-Oh, this is so different. -Oh, nice.
[Jonathan] Sophie, are you smiling or frowning?
[Bill laughs]
-This is incredible. -I know.
[Drew] Thank you. Thank you.
[Emillie] It was probably harder for Bill,
me being pregnant during this process,
because we had no control, we had no anything.
And instead, I just, like,
Bill, what are we doing? Why isn't it done?
-When are we gonna get inside? -[Bill laughs]
-But now, It's all been worth it, I guess. -Yeah, absolutely.
And it's been amazing to have Jonathan and Drew do it
because I was able to focus on our pregnancy
and our birth and having the baby.
This is a little something for you guys
-from us as well. -[woman] Oh!
-Oh my God. -So these are a...
a whole bunch of the educational baby toys
-that Linda and I had for Parker. -[Emillie] Oh!
-Oh my goodness. -Oh look at how cute
the little stacking cups.
[Jonathan] I just wanna say you guys were an absolute joy
-to work with. -[Bill] Oh my gosh.
That from the second we met you,
