1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:02,767
Every forever home
has its own story.
2
00:00:02,767 --> 00:00:04,100
-[Drew] And we can't
wait to help tell it.
-[laughing]
3
00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:06,367
It's been in our family,
uh, for generations.
4
00:00:06,367 --> 00:00:08,066
-Let me smash, let me smash!
-Yeah.
5
00:00:08,066 --> 00:00:09,266
[man] This is the next step.
6
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:10,600
[woman] The next
chapter in my life.
7
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:12,900
-Hi-yah! Whoo!
-[Drew] Love it!
8
00:00:14,266 --> 00:00:16,266
-[Jonathan] After you.
-Welcome home.
9
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:17,900
-[woman] Oh my goodness!
-[man] Look at this!
10
00:00:17,967 --> 00:00:19,300
-Oh, wow!
-[laughing]
11
00:00:19,367 --> 00:00:20,266
Let's go!
12
00:00:20,266 --> 00:00:21,300
It feels like home.
13
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:23,000
-Whoa.
-[all laughing]
14
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:25,200
[Jonathan] Come on
in for group hug!
15
00:00:25,266 --> 00:00:26,467
[laughter]
16
00:00:26,467 --> 00:00:27,800
[upbeat music playing]
17
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:37,367
We met at a fast food
restaurant
18
00:00:37,367 --> 00:00:39,900
in the UK when we were 17.
19
00:00:39,967 --> 00:00:41,600
It was our first job.
20
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:45,166
We've been married for...
this is a test for me,
21
00:00:45,166 --> 00:00:47,767
-uh... 17 years.
- [chuckles softly]
22
00:00:47,767 --> 00:00:50,300
[Helen] We've been
in the US 12 years.
23
00:00:50,367 --> 00:00:54,567
I just felt like we were just
happier people being out here.
24
00:00:54,567 --> 00:00:59,400
We have two kids,
Elliott who is seven,
and Frankie who is five.
25
00:00:59,467 --> 00:01:00,000
We bought the house
about five years ago.
26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,867
We bought the house
about five years ago.
27
00:01:01,867 --> 00:01:03,333
[Jared] When we viewed
the house, we walked in
28
00:01:03,367 --> 00:01:06,266
and we were like,
this character is
just unbelievable.
29
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:08,266
We were lucky enough
to get enough space
30
00:01:08,266 --> 00:01:10,667
for when our parents
come from England,
31
00:01:10,667 --> 00:01:12,166
so they can have
their own area,
32
00:01:12,166 --> 00:01:14,200
which is very important
if they're here for months.
33
00:01:14,266 --> 00:01:15,667
The neighborhood is fantastic.
34
00:01:15,667 --> 00:01:17,867
It's exactly in the area
where we were looking.
35
00:01:17,867 --> 00:01:19,567
We have parks nearby,
36
00:01:19,567 --> 00:01:22,467
we're near good schools.
It's unbelievable.
37
00:01:22,467 --> 00:01:24,367
Um, our family story...
38
00:01:24,367 --> 00:01:26,066
starts in this house.
39
00:01:26,066 --> 00:01:28,700
I'll never forget the days
when they're so young.
40
00:01:28,767 --> 00:01:30,000
[Helen] I really
remember teaching
Frankie to ride a bike.
41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,300
[Helen] I really
remember teaching
Frankie to ride a bike.
42
00:01:32,367 --> 00:01:36,300
That special that, we now
have our favorite memories.
43
00:01:36,367 --> 00:01:38,000
[Jared] But, the problem is,
this house doesn't
44
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,367
really represent us.
45
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:40,967
We're not really American,
46
00:01:40,967 --> 00:01:43,066
we no longer feel
completely English.
47
00:01:43,066 --> 00:01:44,367
We're this mix.
48
00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:47,567
[Helen] And that's why this
renovation is important to us.
49
00:01:47,567 --> 00:01:50,600
We wanted the house to
feel like it was made for us
50
00:01:50,667 --> 00:01:51,800
and we belong here.
51
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,266
[Jared] It has to have
our hearts and it has
52
00:01:53,266 --> 00:01:55,300
to be the place where
we make our memories.
53
00:01:55,367 --> 00:01:57,000
And we already
have so many here.
54
00:01:57,066 --> 00:01:58,667
[Helen] I just
love this house.
55
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:00,000
I hope we can
stay here forever.
56
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,600
I hope we can
stay here forever.
57
00:02:03,066 --> 00:02:05,266
[Jonathan] Jared
and Helen have a nice home
in a great area.
58
00:02:05,266 --> 00:02:07,400
I love Pasadena,
but I'm feeling like
59
00:02:07,467 --> 00:02:08,767
there's a little work
on the inside.
60
00:02:08,767 --> 00:02:10,567
[Drew] Do me a favor.
Don't do any accents.
61
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,867
-Top of the mornin'.
-Hello. You're welcome.
62
00:02:15,867 --> 00:02:17,767
-[Helen] Come on in.
-[Drew] I told him,
"no accents."
63
00:02:17,767 --> 00:02:19,400
-How are you?
-Good, thank you.
64
00:02:19,467 --> 00:02:21,900
-Oh, my gosh. Thanks
for having us come over.
-Thanks for coming.
65
00:02:21,967 --> 00:02:24,266
This is very different than
probably a lot of the houses
66
00:02:24,266 --> 00:02:25,266
you're used to in England.
67
00:02:25,266 --> 00:02:27,467
Very. It's only got
one story, for one.
68
00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:29,967
Being Scottish and having
lived in Scotland
69
00:02:29,967 --> 00:02:30,000
and also visited
our family a lot,
70
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,400
and also visited
our family a lot,
71
00:02:31,467 --> 00:02:34,500
the houses were all
two story and very...
72
00:02:34,567 --> 00:02:36,867
you come in and it was
a little bit cramped.
73
00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:38,867
-I'm getting those
vibes here because...
-[laughs]
74
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:41,000
...it is very cramped
when you come in
75
00:02:41,066 --> 00:02:43,400
because of this
massive fireplace.
76
00:02:43,467 --> 00:02:45,600
Have you ever contemplated
getting rid of this
77
00:02:45,667 --> 00:02:47,367
so you can actually
see everything?
78
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:49,667
Yeah, we love the style of it.
79
00:02:49,667 --> 00:02:51,600
-The mid-century modern.
-[Drew] Yeah.
80
00:02:51,667 --> 00:02:53,367
[Jonathan] It's good to know
that Helen and Jared like
81
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,867
mid-century modern style.
82
00:02:54,867 --> 00:02:57,400
It's a distinct aesthetic with
sleek and clean lines
83
00:02:57,467 --> 00:03:00,000
that emerged in the mid-50s
and it's still popular today.
84
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,367
that emerged in the mid-50s
and it's still popular today.
85
00:03:00,367 --> 00:03:02,467
I think it's a style that will
work perfectly in here
86
00:03:02,467 --> 00:03:05,367
because this house has
a spacious ranch-style
architecture
87
00:03:05,367 --> 00:03:07,166
that is very '50s as well.
88
00:03:07,166 --> 00:03:10,000
[Jared] If you remove that
fireplace we would be removing
89
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,567
the only character
left in the home.
90
00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:13,900
Do me a favor. Can you just
cover your ears for one sec?
91
00:03:13,967 --> 00:03:15,500
Do you agree with
everything that he said?
92
00:03:15,567 --> 00:03:17,166
Um... [laughing]
93
00:03:17,667 --> 00:03:18,567
Not quite.
94
00:03:18,567 --> 00:03:20,800
I wouldn't mind
it not being there,
95
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,800
but I know that he likes
that kind of style,
96
00:03:23,867 --> 00:03:26,000
so I think it could probably
be freshened up,
97
00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:27,900
so it's a little bit nicer.
98
00:03:27,967 --> 00:03:29,266
I don't love the color.
99
00:03:29,266 --> 00:03:30,000
-We do not like the color.
-Hate the color.
100
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,266
-We do not like the color.
-Hate the color.
101
00:03:31,266 --> 00:03:34,667
[Jared] We like the
brickwork, we're not
attached to the mantle.
102
00:03:34,667 --> 00:03:36,467
If it's functional for
you to have a mantle,
103
00:03:36,467 --> 00:03:39,467
for hanging stockings or
putting decor or pictures.
104
00:03:39,467 --> 00:03:40,767
-Stockings is a good point.
-Yeah.
105
00:03:40,767 --> 00:03:42,400
-You caught me right there.
-[laughs]
106
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,667
-[Jonathan] I mean...
-[Jared] Yes, okay, yeah.
We want a mantle.
107
00:03:44,667 --> 00:03:46,166
[all laughing]
108
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:48,667
[Jonathan] So, how do you use
this big living room space?
109
00:03:48,667 --> 00:03:51,000
[Helen] So, right now,
this is just kind of a
110
00:03:51,066 --> 00:03:52,500
free-for-all junk room.
111
00:03:52,567 --> 00:03:55,166
We don't really have too much
designated use of it,
112
00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:56,667
like, the kids play here,
113
00:03:56,667 --> 00:03:58,266
his work area is over there.
114
00:03:58,266 --> 00:03:59,667
[Jonathan] Wait,
this is your area?
115
00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:00,000
I thought with all the toys,
that was the kids' area.
116
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,500
I thought with all the toys,
that was the kids' area.
117
00:04:01,567 --> 00:04:03,266
[Jared] No, it's not the
kids' area, it's my area.
118
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:05,500
I review toys for a living.
119
00:04:05,567 --> 00:04:08,367
So, I need a lot of workspace
to take photographs.
120
00:04:08,367 --> 00:04:10,166
Oh my God, that sounds
like the biggest cop out,
121
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:12,467
like, "Oh guys,
I review toys."
122
00:04:12,467 --> 00:04:14,200
-You play with toys
for a living.
-[Helen chuckles]
123
00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:16,567
I review toys
in a serious manner.
124
00:04:16,567 --> 00:04:17,767
[all laughing]
125
00:04:17,767 --> 00:04:20,166
Have you guys ever had
an argument where you're like,
126
00:04:20,166 --> 00:04:22,000
-"Honey, wait...
-[Helen chuckling]
127
00:04:22,066 --> 00:04:23,367
...I'm working."
128
00:04:23,367 --> 00:04:26,300
-Many times.
-Yeah, that's amazing.
[laughs]
129
00:04:26,367 --> 00:04:27,800
And what do you
do for a living?
130
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:29,467
I work in corporate tax.
131
00:04:29,467 --> 00:04:30,000
-Okay. Super sexy.
-Oh, my God. Also so fun.
132
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,400
-Okay. Super sexy.
-Oh, my God. Also so fun.
133
00:04:31,467 --> 00:04:33,166
[all laughing]
134
00:04:33,166 --> 00:04:34,500
I mean, that right there...
135
00:04:34,567 --> 00:04:37,166
-Match made in heaven.
[laughing]
-[Jonathan] Exactly. Yeah.
136
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:38,700
Yeah, what would you say
is the biggest difference
137
00:04:38,767 --> 00:04:41,567
between living in the UK
and then living here?
138
00:04:41,567 --> 00:04:43,667
[both] The weather.
[laughing]
139
00:04:43,667 --> 00:04:44,667
[Helen] The weather.
140
00:04:44,667 --> 00:04:45,867
-[both chuckle]
-[Helen] I mean, yeah.
141
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:48,467
Looking in here, you've got
a bit of a clutter problem.
142
00:04:48,467 --> 00:04:50,500
So, I think storage
is obviously key.
143
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:54,166
[Helen] Yeah, I would
love to see like a more
purposeful area for him,
144
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:56,667
because at the moment,
it's just like...
145
00:04:56,667 --> 00:04:59,767
random table,
random cardboard box,
146
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:00,000
random shelves.
147
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,333
random shelves.
148
00:05:01,333 --> 00:05:03,200
[Drew] How many of
these things did you
find in an alley
149
00:05:03,266 --> 00:05:04,567
and you just
dragged over here?
150
00:05:04,567 --> 00:05:05,567
Only one.
151
00:05:05,567 --> 00:05:06,567
[all laughing]
152
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,600
The table?
153
00:05:08,667 --> 00:05:11,100
Anyway, we can definitely
do better than this for you.
154
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,200
Do you want to keep the piano
as part of the design?
155
00:05:13,266 --> 00:05:14,834
Do either of you play?
156
00:05:14,834 --> 00:05:16,266
-[Helen and Jared] No.
- [Jared] It came with
the house.
157
00:05:16,266 --> 00:05:17,367
-[Drew] Okay.
-[Jonathan] Oh, really?
158
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,200
-We can get rid of it.
-[Drew] My buddy, Josh, has
159
00:05:19,266 --> 00:05:21,266
a charity where
they'll take old pianos,
160
00:05:21,266 --> 00:05:23,900
they'll refurbish them, and
put them into public schools
161
00:05:23,967 --> 00:05:25,100
into their music programs.
162
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,200
And, they would
absolutely love that.
163
00:05:27,266 --> 00:05:29,700
-Fantastic. That
sounds like a great idea.
-Awesome.
164
00:05:29,767 --> 00:05:30,000
[Drew] I see you
have a family room
165
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,967
[Drew] I see you
have a family room
166
00:05:30,967 --> 00:05:32,667
at the very back of the house.
167
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:35,100
This used to be a porch
and they enclosed it
168
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,100
to make it an interior space.
169
00:05:37,166 --> 00:05:38,600
-Yeah.
-[Drew] The old exterior wall.
170
00:05:38,667 --> 00:05:40,000
-Mind your head.
-[Drew] This is cool.
171
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,567
I like the detailing here.
172
00:05:41,567 --> 00:05:43,667
The space is
pretty substantial.
173
00:05:43,667 --> 00:05:44,900
[Jared] Yeah, this
is our family room.
174
00:05:44,967 --> 00:05:47,967
We watch movies in here,
do puzzles, play games.
175
00:05:47,967 --> 00:05:50,200
This is kind of the heart
for us where we come
176
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:51,900
and spend time with our kids.
177
00:05:51,967 --> 00:05:53,967
Ideally, what would you like
to see the layout look like?
178
00:05:53,967 --> 00:05:56,367
I would really like this
to kind of be closed off
179
00:05:56,367 --> 00:05:58,367
from that area, just because
180
00:05:58,367 --> 00:06:00,000
in the evenings, when
the kids are sleeping,
181
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,467
in the evenings, when
the kids are sleeping,
182
00:06:00,467 --> 00:06:03,266
we want to be able to
have the TV loud.
183
00:06:03,266 --> 00:06:05,000
I can tell this is the
grown-up area,
184
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,066
-because of the sexy
furniture in here.
-[Jared laughing]
185
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:09,500
[Helen] Hey, this came
all the way from the UK.
186
00:06:09,567 --> 00:06:10,467
[mimics roaring sound]
187
00:06:10,467 --> 00:06:11,867
[laughing]
188
00:06:11,867 --> 00:06:14,600
Are you cool finding
new furniture that
189
00:06:14,667 --> 00:06:17,100
actually fits the space, maybe
like a sectional or something?
190
00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:18,567
-Yes please.
-That'll be amazing.
191
00:06:18,567 --> 00:06:20,500
[Drew] Would you want
to see the same flooring
192
00:06:20,567 --> 00:06:21,667
flow throughout everywhere?
193
00:06:21,667 --> 00:06:23,567
Definitely. We're not
a fan of the carpet.
194
00:06:23,567 --> 00:06:25,500
Again, it came with
the house and it's
195
00:06:25,567 --> 00:06:27,266
-old and tatty and dirty.
-[Drew] Yeah.
196
00:06:27,266 --> 00:06:29,867
I have to say that, it's great
that Elliott is giving
197
00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:30,000
the reaction that
you're gonna give
198
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,233
the reaction that
you're gonna give
199
00:06:31,233 --> 00:06:32,867
-once we complete
this renovation.
-[Jared laughing]
200
00:06:32,867 --> 00:06:34,200
[both together] Whoa!
201
00:06:34,266 --> 00:06:37,000
-[both laughing]
-[Jonathan] I love that photo.
202
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,300
So, there's a lot that we can
do in here, but I also noticed
203
00:06:39,367 --> 00:06:41,367
that the kitchen
needs a lot of work.
204
00:06:41,367 --> 00:06:43,467
Actually it feels more like
a hallway than a kitchen.
205
00:06:43,467 --> 00:06:46,300
[Jared] Yeah, and through the
door there is the back door,
206
00:06:46,367 --> 00:06:49,600
so, it very much
is the corridor in and out
of the home.
207
00:06:49,667 --> 00:06:52,467
[Jonathan] I noticed
that the cabinets are
a little off color.
208
00:06:52,467 --> 00:06:54,000
-All yellowy and...
-Oh, it's sticky.
209
00:06:54,066 --> 00:06:55,266
-[Jonathan exclaims]
-[Jared] Yeah,
don't touch things.
210
00:06:55,266 --> 00:06:57,000
[all laugh]
211
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,500
-Hold on a second,
hold on a second.
-[Jared chuckles]
212
00:06:59,567 --> 00:07:00,000
[Jonathan] I'm just
gonna use the glove.
213
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,300
[Jonathan] I'm just
gonna use the glove.
214
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,967
-Shortbread, shortbread!
-Hold on.
215
00:07:03,967 --> 00:07:06,166
-Oh no, don't touch that.
-[exclaims]
216
00:07:06,166 --> 00:07:08,400
-[Helen and Jared laughing]
-Why is it so sticky?
217
00:07:08,467 --> 00:07:09,467
What do you cook in there?
218
00:07:09,467 --> 00:07:11,000
The extractor fan is broken.
219
00:07:11,066 --> 00:07:13,000
[Jonathan] Makes sense, 'cause
if the vent has broken,
220
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:14,667
the grease just accumulates.
221
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:16,600
-And there's not even
any short bread in there.
-Scottish.
222
00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:17,767
I know, it's the good stuff.
223
00:07:17,767 --> 00:07:19,100
We don't touch anything
in that cupboard.
224
00:07:19,166 --> 00:07:21,066
Okay, this is going
back in there.
225
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:23,066
So, the desk is my work area.
226
00:07:23,066 --> 00:07:25,767
I would love that not to be
in my kitchen. [chuckles]
227
00:07:25,767 --> 00:07:27,400
I also do the majority
of the cooking,
228
00:07:27,467 --> 00:07:29,900
so this is kinda my area.
229
00:07:29,967 --> 00:07:30,000
But, in terms of storage
and functionality,
230
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,567
But, in terms of storage
and functionality,
231
00:07:32,567 --> 00:07:34,567
it's not functional.
232
00:07:34,567 --> 00:07:37,967
-Also, you're cramping the
fridge's clearance here.
-[Jared] Yeah.
233
00:07:37,967 --> 00:07:40,667
Would you consider
opening up the wall at all
234
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:42,367
or do you like to
have it this size?
235
00:07:42,367 --> 00:07:44,266
[Jared] We would love
to open this wall up
236
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:47,100
and just have like,
a nice kitchen-dining
space that would be...
237
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,767
-Incredible.
-If this wall was gone
238
00:07:48,767 --> 00:07:51,266
there'd also be the option
to put the kitchen
239
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:52,867
at the front of the house.
240
00:07:52,867 --> 00:07:55,467
[Helen] So, we do use this
dining room, but I guess
241
00:07:55,467 --> 00:07:57,667
it doesn't have to
be here exactly.
242
00:07:57,667 --> 00:07:59,367
[Drew] The window is actually
higher here already,
243
00:07:59,367 --> 00:08:00,000
which is great, 'cause
you could run cabinets
underneath here.
244
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,166
which is great, 'cause
you could run cabinets
underneath here.
245
00:08:02,166 --> 00:08:04,266
This would be a pretty
incredible space.
246
00:08:04,266 --> 00:08:06,400
Imagine the kitchen,
all around the perimeter,
247
00:08:06,467 --> 00:08:08,767
open this up, big island
in the middle,
248
00:08:08,767 --> 00:08:10,400
then you can have your
dining room at the back
249
00:08:10,467 --> 00:08:11,767
where your kitchen is now.
250
00:08:11,767 --> 00:08:12,667
Yeah, that'll be incredible.
251
00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:14,467
I would love an island.
252
00:08:14,467 --> 00:08:16,767
[Drew] Now, we already know
you love mid-century modern,
253
00:08:16,767 --> 00:08:18,166
but how else
would you describe
254
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:20,000
your defined style?
255
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,800
We like things modern, clean.
256
00:08:21,867 --> 00:08:22,667
No clutter.
257
00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:25,266
-Simple.
-Everything tucked away.
258
00:08:25,266 --> 00:08:28,967
Clutter-free, modern,
minimalistic. We can do that.
259
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:30,000
So, what's your budget?
260
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,467
So, what's your budget?
261
00:08:30,467 --> 00:08:32,900
I think we could go on a
maximum budge of $200,000.
262
00:08:32,967 --> 00:08:35,300
I don't think we can push
ourselves above that.
263
00:08:35,367 --> 00:08:36,867
Okay, $200,000.
264
00:08:36,867 --> 00:08:38,800
That should make it
possible for us to tackle
265
00:08:38,867 --> 00:08:40,767
all the priority
spaces for you.
266
00:08:40,767 --> 00:08:42,567
The one concern that I have,
267
00:08:42,567 --> 00:08:43,900
structure concern,
to really add up.
268
00:08:43,967 --> 00:08:46,467
This will be a low-bearing
wall, all the way across.
269
00:08:46,467 --> 00:08:48,266
so there's gonna be some
pretty substantial
270
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:50,767
-engineering work if we
do want to open this up.
-Okay.
271
00:08:50,767 --> 00:08:53,000
Jared and Helen have
never truly felt at home
in this house.
272
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,667
They've always wanted
to make it their own,
273
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:56,500
and finally we can
help them with that.
274
00:08:56,567 --> 00:09:00,000
Well, they've come so far
to create a new life here and,
275
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Well, they've come so far
to create a new life here and,
276
00:09:01,867 --> 00:09:04,066
I love the fact that we can
be a part of that dream.
277
00:09:04,066 --> 00:09:06,567
We'll make sure this home
really reflects who they are
278
00:09:06,567 --> 00:09:09,200
and they are gonna love
this house when it's done.
279
00:09:09,266 --> 00:09:11,100
[lively music playing]
280
00:09:16,767 --> 00:09:18,667
Okay, here we go.
281
00:09:18,667 --> 00:09:20,767
[Jonathan grunts]
Yes, let's just...
282
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,900
[objects clattering]
283
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:30,000
Oh, we were actually
keeping that one.
284
00:09:30,066 --> 00:09:30,900
Oh, shoot.
285
00:09:30,967 --> 00:09:32,767
-[Helen laughs]
-Sorry.
286
00:09:32,767 --> 00:09:34,300
All right. Lots to do.
287
00:09:34,367 --> 00:09:35,867
Glasses, gloves.
288
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,667
Are you afraid
of a little demolition
289
00:09:37,667 --> 00:09:39,700
-or are you excited for it?
-I'm excited.
290
00:09:39,767 --> 00:09:41,400
I'm a little afraid.
291
00:09:41,467 --> 00:09:45,000
-I mean, that demonstration
there was kind of...
-[Jared laughing]
292
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,367
Who wants to start
pulling out a drawer
293
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:47,767
and who wants to
rip down a door?
294
00:09:47,767 --> 00:09:49,066
-Work your way out.
-Door for me.
295
00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:50,867
-I will take the...
-Drawer.
296
00:09:50,867 --> 00:09:51,700
You go.
297
00:09:54,266 --> 00:09:55,166
Yay!
298
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:57,000
[Helen screaming]
299
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,166
[Jonathan] Well done.
300
00:09:58,166 --> 00:10:00,000
-She just ripped
a door off the hinge.
-Yay!
301
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,166
-She just ripped
a door off the hinge.
-Yay!
302
00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:05,266
It just feels like, cathartic
to like finally, do it.
303
00:10:07,767 --> 00:10:08,667
[Jared] That was incredible.
304
00:10:08,667 --> 00:10:09,867
Grabbing the sledgehammer
305
00:10:10,867 --> 00:10:12,000
taking it to that kitchen.
306
00:10:13,166 --> 00:10:14,600
[objects clattering]
307
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:21,200
I'd like to take
a minute to appreciate...
308
00:10:22,567 --> 00:10:24,567
the original wallpaper
in this kitchen.
309
00:10:24,567 --> 00:10:26,367
-[all exclaiming]
-Is that a people?
310
00:10:26,367 --> 00:10:28,100
-Is that a person?
-[Jonathan] There is--
311
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:29,867
I thought you said,
"Is that a peep hole."
312
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:30,000
[Helen laughing]
313
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,300
[Helen laughing]
314
00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:33,567
Where is your mind at, pal?
315
00:10:33,567 --> 00:10:34,900
-Yay!
-Grab that tight.
316
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:36,100
[Drew] All right, guys.
317
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:39,300
At this point I would love
talk a little structure,
318
00:10:39,367 --> 00:10:41,166
so if you guys wanna
grab hammers,
319
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:43,300
strip off the dining room
side of that wall,
320
00:10:43,367 --> 00:10:45,367
I'm gonna clear the
cabinets and then
eventually we'll go through.
321
00:10:50,266 --> 00:10:51,500
[Drew] All right.
322
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:54,200
So, the one thing we're
pointing out right now,
323
00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:56,567
this is definitely
a load-bearing wall.
324
00:10:56,567 --> 00:11:00,000
If we did a steel beam
or an engineered beam,
325
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,266
If we did a steel beam
or an engineered beam,
326
00:11:00,266 --> 00:11:03,367
expanding across to
where we are, we
probably can get enough
327
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,266
-support.
-All right.
328
00:11:05,266 --> 00:11:08,266
Oh, woah, this is actually...
this is totally illegal.
329
00:11:08,266 --> 00:11:10,000
But also, very dangerous.
330
00:11:14,567 --> 00:11:16,000
[Drew] This is
totally illegal.
331
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:18,867
So, this electrical was run
newer than obviously
332
00:11:18,867 --> 00:11:19,867
when the house was built.
333
00:11:19,867 --> 00:11:22,066
At some point they did
some work. Look at that.
334
00:11:22,066 --> 00:11:24,100
They did a tie
inside the wall...
335
00:11:24,567 --> 00:11:25,667
totally illegal.
336
00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:27,367
Have you ever had
any circuits in the kitchen
337
00:11:27,367 --> 00:11:29,667
that didn't work or any lights
that would flicker
338
00:11:29,667 --> 00:11:30,800
-or anything like that?
-Yeah.
339
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,867
-The fuse can
trip quite easily.
-[Drew] Yeah.
340
00:11:32,867 --> 00:11:34,367
So this can cause that.
341
00:11:34,367 --> 00:11:35,734
It's why they don't allow it.
You have to have
342
00:11:35,734 --> 00:11:39,367
a continuous circuit
all the way to a box,
that's accessible.
343
00:11:39,367 --> 00:11:41,367
So, a lot of this
mixing electrical,
344
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:43,214
they do have different
types of electrical and
that's a fire hazard.
345
00:11:43,214 --> 00:11:44,867
they do have different
types of electrical and
that's a fire hazard.
346
00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:48,266
It seems a little overwhelming
the stuff in these walls,
347
00:11:48,266 --> 00:11:49,867
that we had no idea about.
348
00:11:49,867 --> 00:11:52,166
The electrics were
kind of done badly
349
00:11:52,166 --> 00:11:55,200
and that could have caused
something in the house.
350
00:11:55,266 --> 00:11:57,066
And you know,
we have young kids.
351
00:11:57,066 --> 00:11:58,266
We want it to be safe,
you know, so.
352
00:11:58,266 --> 00:11:59,667
Exactly, we want
it to be beautiful,
353
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:01,467
-but it has to be safe.
-Yeah.
354
00:12:01,467 --> 00:12:03,800
The fact that the electrical
is so bad in this wall
355
00:12:03,867 --> 00:12:05,100
between the kitchen
and the dining room
356
00:12:05,166 --> 00:12:06,600
is not a great sign.
357
00:12:06,667 --> 00:12:09,467
Usually that means that
there is bad electrical
in other places too.
358
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:11,900
We want to make sure that this
house is as safe as possible.
359
00:12:11,967 --> 00:12:13,214
But redoing electrical can get
very expensive,
360
00:12:13,214 --> 00:12:14,467
But redoing electrical can get
very expensive,
361
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:16,900
so we'll have to keep that
in mind as we open things up,
362
00:12:16,967 --> 00:12:19,266
and allot some money toward
electrical in the budget.
363
00:12:19,266 --> 00:12:20,800
I feel like, we can still
364
00:12:20,867 --> 00:12:22,667
have a little peak through
the wall if you guys want.
365
00:12:26,266 --> 00:12:27,367
-[all exclaiming]
-[Helen] Yay!
366
00:12:28,567 --> 00:12:29,934
Look at this.
367
00:12:29,967 --> 00:12:32,800
When we knocked through
the dining room wall
into the kitchen,
368
00:12:32,867 --> 00:12:35,567
the immediate
transformation of that space,
369
00:12:35,567 --> 00:12:38,100
like, being able to see
through the light
flooding through.
370
00:12:38,166 --> 00:12:40,100
The sight lines
are just fantastic.
371
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:43,214
-You guys have this angelic
glow around you right now.
-[Jared and Helen laughing]
372
00:12:43,214 --> 00:12:43,266
-You guys have this angelic
glow around you right now.
-[Jared and Helen laughing]
373
00:12:43,266 --> 00:12:44,333
[Jonathan vocalizing
choir music]
374
00:12:44,333 --> 00:12:46,467
-I think both, emotional
and physical.
-Yes.
375
00:12:46,467 --> 00:12:48,900
It's kind of just like
awe-inspiring as well,
376
00:12:48,967 --> 00:12:51,867
'cause you can kind of
imagine what it could be like,
377
00:12:51,867 --> 00:12:53,767
Man, that felt amazing.
378
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:56,000
[Jonathan] While the crew
continues to tear up walls,
379
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:58,300
Drew and I need to call
a friend to help find a home
380
00:12:58,367 --> 00:12:59,867
for Helen and Jared's piano.
381
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:02,967
-Hello.
-Hey guys, how's it goin'?
382
00:13:02,967 --> 00:13:04,567
I can only assume
you're calling me
383
00:13:04,567 --> 00:13:06,467
because of my hammer skills.
384
00:13:06,467 --> 00:13:08,000
[Drew laughs] Yeah,
we need a little help.
385
00:13:08,066 --> 00:13:09,967
We have something beautiful
that we want to show you.
386
00:13:09,967 --> 00:13:12,166
-Look at this beauty.
- [Josh] Ooh.
387
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:13,214
She's pretty.
388
00:13:13,214 --> 00:13:13,367
She's pretty.
389
00:13:13,367 --> 00:13:15,166
It kinda looks like
it has a lot of history.
390
00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:17,200
When our home owners Jared
and Helen bought this house,
391
00:13:17,266 --> 00:13:18,767
it came with the piano.
392
00:13:18,767 --> 00:13:20,667
And they just want to see it
go somewhere
393
00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:22,867
where somebody can get
great use out of it.
394
00:13:22,867 --> 00:13:25,066
Well, um, my foundation,
Find Your Light,
395
00:13:25,066 --> 00:13:28,467
um, would be happy to
find the right home for it.
396
00:13:28,467 --> 00:13:31,166
The place I'm thinking of this
piano is called Sing For Hope.
397
00:13:31,166 --> 00:13:32,800
They're gonna paint it,
refurbish it,
398
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,467
and put it in a place where
a lot of beautiful noise is
gonna be made.
399
00:13:35,467 --> 00:13:37,000
[Drew] Such good news.
400
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,700
This piano wasn't
even being played,
401
00:13:38,767 --> 00:13:40,867
and now, thanks
to Josh's foundation,
402
00:13:40,867 --> 00:13:42,233
it'll go to a school
403
00:13:42,233 --> 00:13:43,214
to enrich the lives
of countless
young music lovers.
404
00:13:43,214 --> 00:13:44,700
to enrich the lives
of countless
young music lovers.
405
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,767
- This is it.
-[Helen] Wow.
406
00:13:51,767 --> 00:13:53,600
I'm super excited
to see inside.
407
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:55,233
-[chuckles]
-Okay, this is good.
408
00:13:55,233 --> 00:13:57,767
[Jared] I already see
the mid-century modern flair
from the curb.
409
00:13:57,767 --> 00:13:59,867
[Drew] Yeah, I mean,
some of the wood tones
and the white,
410
00:13:59,867 --> 00:14:01,200
there are
a lot of things inside
411
00:14:01,266 --> 00:14:02,667
you're gonna like,
just like that.
412
00:14:02,667 --> 00:14:04,967
Today, I'm taking
Helen and Jared
to a mid-century modern home.
413
00:14:04,967 --> 00:14:07,367
I wanna see how mid-century
these two really are.
414
00:14:07,367 --> 00:14:08,800
All right, come on in.
415
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:11,667
-[chuckles]
-[Drew] What do you think?
416
00:14:11,667 --> 00:14:12,967
This is incredible.
417
00:14:12,967 --> 00:14:13,214
[Helen] Wow, I love the space.
So cool.
418
00:14:13,214 --> 00:14:15,867
[Helen] Wow, I love the space.
So cool.
419
00:14:15,867 --> 00:14:17,500
Can we just move in here?
420
00:14:17,567 --> 00:14:18,767
-[Drew] You know,
I'll talk to them.
-[Helen chuckles]
421
00:14:18,767 --> 00:14:20,867
-[all laughing]
-It'll be
a cheaper renovation,
422
00:14:20,867 --> 00:14:22,233
just to have you move in here.
423
00:14:22,233 --> 00:14:23,400
-[Jared] Just so bright,
isn't it?
-[Helen] Yeah.
424
00:14:23,467 --> 00:14:25,567
The light coming through...
425
00:14:25,567 --> 00:14:27,667
-There's so much character.
-Awesome.
426
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:29,567
[Drew] Now, you guys
have that huge fireplace
427
00:14:29,567 --> 00:14:31,066
right near the entrance
of your home.
428
00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:33,967
It's pretty bulky,
but you really
love it, correct?
429
00:14:33,967 --> 00:14:36,567
Personally, I wanna keep it
and spend the money elsewhere.
430
00:14:36,567 --> 00:14:38,900
'Cause one thing
we could consider...
Come on down here.
431
00:14:38,967 --> 00:14:41,367
So, you see how they have
this low profile fireplace
in the wall?
432
00:14:41,367 --> 00:14:43,214
This will be original,
the box here.
It's pretty gorgeous.
433
00:14:43,214 --> 00:14:44,700
This will be original,
the box here.
It's pretty gorgeous.
434
00:14:44,767 --> 00:14:47,100
Does it give you any ideas for
what you can do with yours?
435
00:14:47,166 --> 00:14:49,066
[Helen] I mean, I really
like the brick work,
436
00:14:49,066 --> 00:14:52,100
and I like how, kind of,
clean it looks with the white.
437
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,867
Do you think
painting our fireplace white
438
00:14:53,867 --> 00:14:56,100
would make the entryway
seem a bit bigger?
439
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:59,266
[Drew] Yeah, I mean, we could
freshen things up like this.
It will make it feel lighter.
440
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:00,900
Anyway we can add a feature...
441
00:15:00,967 --> 00:15:02,667
Like, they did this slab here
as a nice feature.
442
00:15:02,667 --> 00:15:03,800
I know that's not your style.
443
00:15:03,867 --> 00:15:05,500
We'll look at something
we can do for your fireplace.
444
00:15:05,567 --> 00:15:08,100
Maybe a nice mantle?
How about for the furniture?
445
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:09,400
[Jared] Oh, this is perfect
for me.
446
00:15:09,467 --> 00:15:10,867
[Helen] Yeah, I mean,
there's a lot of brown
447
00:15:10,867 --> 00:15:13,214
in this room, right?
It's a little bit
too much wood.
448
00:15:13,214 --> 00:15:14,000
in this room, right?
It's a little bit
too much wood.
449
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,100
I think I would like
450
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,300
some sort of color.
I really like
451
00:15:17,367 --> 00:15:19,000
the dark green
on these chairs.
452
00:15:19,066 --> 00:15:21,266
[Drew] Yeah. Yeah, we can find
more ways to bring color.
453
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:23,467
I mean, I could compromise
with some of the wood,
454
00:15:23,467 --> 00:15:25,767
but there was a lot of it.
455
00:15:25,767 --> 00:15:27,867
So, I would want you
to compromise on
456
00:15:27,867 --> 00:15:31,467
-there being not so much wood
and a little bit more color.
-[Jared] Okay.
457
00:15:31,467 --> 00:15:32,700
I can do color.
458
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,166
It would definitely be nice
to have more of this open flow
459
00:15:35,166 --> 00:15:37,467
-from your living spaces
into your kitchen.
-Oh, yeah.
460
00:15:37,467 --> 00:15:39,100
-[Drew] What do
you think of this?
-[Helen gasps]
461
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,967
Wow, I love this island.
462
00:15:41,967 --> 00:15:43,214
-[Drew] Mmm-hmm.
-[Helen] This is so cool.
463
00:15:43,214 --> 00:15:43,266
-[Drew] Mmm-hmm.
-[Helen] This is so cool.
464
00:15:43,266 --> 00:15:46,000
This is absolutely stunning,
this is fantastic.
465
00:15:46,066 --> 00:15:47,166
I love the counters,
466
00:15:47,166 --> 00:15:49,367
I love the wood,
I love the appliances.
467
00:15:49,367 --> 00:15:52,000
The wood is a little bit
too much for me again.
468
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,667
I mean, if you like the idea
of not having
469
00:15:54,667 --> 00:15:58,000
all the same wood tone
throughout, we could
do something like
470
00:15:58,066 --> 00:16:00,700
the lowers and island
a nice color.
471
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:02,867
If you like light
for your countertops,
472
00:16:02,867 --> 00:16:05,300
we'll find
some beautiful tones
that will match what we do.
473
00:16:05,367 --> 00:16:08,100
-Awesome.
-Let's go over
to the family room.
474
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,166
- So...
-[Helen] Wow.
475
00:16:10,166 --> 00:16:11,867
[Drew] You have
that family room
in the back of your house
476
00:16:11,867 --> 00:16:13,214
that could use a little love.
477
00:16:13,214 --> 00:16:13,467
that could use a little love.
478
00:16:13,467 --> 00:16:15,166
Skies the limit
for that family room.
479
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:16,567
We could add
whatever you want.
480
00:16:16,567 --> 00:16:19,000
I really like
these shelves, actually.
481
00:16:19,066 --> 00:16:20,667
-[Jared] Yeah,
they're beautiful.
-[Helen] They look very cool.
482
00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:22,367
[Drew] Maybe we could add
purposeful storage,
483
00:16:22,367 --> 00:16:25,200
or we can just do
a nice display area
for the TV.
484
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:27,767
Yeah, maintaining
some storage,
that would be fantastic.
485
00:16:27,767 --> 00:16:31,400
For that back family room,
the most important thing
is probably comfy furniture.
486
00:16:31,467 --> 00:16:32,567
[Helen] Yeah, this is cool.
487
00:16:32,567 --> 00:16:33,900
-[Drew] Yeah.
-Yeah, this is... Ooh.
488
00:16:33,967 --> 00:16:35,300
-Yeah, nice.
This is comfortable.
-[Helen chuckles]
489
00:16:35,367 --> 00:16:36,867
-Yeah. Nice.
-[Drew] Yeah, I mean,
do you guys,
490
00:16:36,867 --> 00:16:39,667
like, uh, every couple,
like sit on opposite ends
of the sofa,
491
00:16:39,667 --> 00:16:41,500
or do you actually
cuddle up on the sofa?
492
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:43,214
[Helen] Jared's not too keen
on the hugs.
493
00:16:43,214 --> 00:16:43,266
[Helen] Jared's not too keen
on the hugs.
494
00:16:43,266 --> 00:16:44,700
It's not that
I don't like hugs.
495
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:47,100
-But she's a fidgeter, so...
-[Helen laughs]
496
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,567
Makes hugs uncomfortable.
497
00:16:48,567 --> 00:16:52,000
But just to really
make Jared feel
extra special...
498
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Just get nice and cozy.
And we can fidget a lot, too.
499
00:16:55,667 --> 00:16:57,700
-Oh, yeah.
-Definitely need
a bigger sofa than this.
500
00:16:57,767 --> 00:16:59,367
-[all chuckle]
-Yeah.
501
00:16:59,367 --> 00:17:01,367
[Helen] The one thing
I don't like about this sofa
is the color.
502
00:17:01,367 --> 00:17:02,867
-[Drew] Yeah.
-[Helen] And this
is similar to
503
00:17:02,867 --> 00:17:04,800
the sofa
that we have currently.
504
00:17:04,867 --> 00:17:07,767
-Oh, no. This color's
much nicer than yours.
-[Helen laughs]
505
00:17:07,767 --> 00:17:09,467
-Yeah.
-But I think I'm done
with the red.
506
00:17:09,467 --> 00:17:10,467
-Okay, good.
-I'm good.
507
00:17:10,467 --> 00:17:12,100
Let's get rid of it.
Let's start fresh.
508
00:17:12,166 --> 00:17:13,214
Honestly, your house
is the perfect footprint
to make this a dream.
509
00:17:13,214 --> 00:17:15,767
Honestly, your house
is the perfect footprint
to make this a dream.
510
00:17:15,767 --> 00:17:17,367
-You're gonna love it.
-So excited.
511
00:17:17,367 --> 00:17:19,800
-[laughs] Yeah.
-[Jared] The brothers
clearly understand
512
00:17:19,867 --> 00:17:21,467
what we like,
even if we don't,
513
00:17:21,467 --> 00:17:24,300
because they managed to find
a great inspiration home
514
00:17:24,367 --> 00:17:26,000
that has all the things
that we love.
515
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,767
I think that we gave Drew
516
00:17:27,767 --> 00:17:30,767
a lot of good information
to come up with something
517
00:17:30,767 --> 00:17:32,767
that will work for us both.
518
00:17:32,767 --> 00:17:34,400
[Jared] I'm so excited
519
00:17:34,467 --> 00:17:35,266
to see what they come up with.
520
00:17:41,667 --> 00:17:42,567
[Drew] All right.
521
00:17:42,567 --> 00:17:43,214
Don't pass out on us.
522
00:17:43,214 --> 00:17:44,567
Don't pass out on us.
523
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,166
[chuckles] Oh, my goodness.
524
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,567
[chuckles] Oh, my goodness.
525
00:17:53,567 --> 00:17:55,700
-[Jonathan] What do you think?
-[Jared laughs] Um...
526
00:17:55,767 --> 00:17:58,000
- Where's the wall gone?
-[Helen] Oh, my goodness.
527
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,767
[Jonathan] It was, like,
when you have
a sweater, right?
528
00:17:59,767 --> 00:18:01,967
And you start pulling a thread
on the sweater
and then it just goes...
529
00:18:01,967 --> 00:18:03,233
[mimics sound
of thread unraveling]
530
00:18:03,233 --> 00:18:05,200
- Before we knew it,
it's all gone.
-[Helen laughs]
531
00:18:05,266 --> 00:18:06,567
This is crazy.
532
00:18:06,567 --> 00:18:08,600
Come through your French doors
533
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:10,367
into your old
dining room space.
534
00:18:10,367 --> 00:18:12,600
[Helen] I can't believe
535
00:18:12,667 --> 00:18:15,600
how big this feels,
like, without a wall.
This is insane.
536
00:18:15,667 --> 00:18:17,100
Once we opened this wall
537
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:18,525
that separated
your dining room
and kitchen,
538
00:18:18,525 --> 00:18:19,100
that separated
your dining room
and kitchen,
539
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:20,734
it was like...
540
00:18:20,734 --> 00:18:23,266
I want you to see
what it could look like
with this completely gone.
541
00:18:23,266 --> 00:18:26,767
[Jared] The space is...
The sight lines,
it's so much brighter.
542
00:18:26,767 --> 00:18:28,800
Well, it would
have been incredible
543
00:18:28,867 --> 00:18:31,767
if you were able to see it
with that chimney gone.
544
00:18:31,767 --> 00:18:34,000
-Imagine how open
it would have been.
-[Jared] Yeah.
545
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,400
That could still be
the third option we give you
is to remove that chimney.
546
00:18:37,467 --> 00:18:39,000
He was throwing daggers.
547
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,600
-[both laughing]
-[Jonathan] Actually, I think,
we were on the same page.
548
00:18:40,667 --> 00:18:43,567
We were like, "It could go.
We could relocate it."
549
00:18:43,567 --> 00:18:44,467
But he was, like,
550
00:18:44,467 --> 00:18:45,600
-"No."
-[Jared chuckles]
551
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:47,100
So, option one,
552
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,525
we would take your dining room
and your kitchen,
553
00:18:48,525 --> 00:18:50,066
we would take your dining room
and your kitchen,
554
00:18:50,066 --> 00:18:53,467
flip the entire floor plan
and put it on the other side
of the fireplace
555
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:55,767
where your old work area
and kids' play space were.
556
00:18:57,166 --> 00:18:59,867
So now, you would have
a beautiful chef's kitchen
in the back
557
00:18:59,867 --> 00:19:03,700
with tons of storage,
great appliances
and a nice, big island.
558
00:19:05,266 --> 00:19:07,800
Your much loved fireplace
would get a facelift,
559
00:19:07,867 --> 00:19:10,066
and beside it, you'd have
an elegant dining area
560
00:19:10,066 --> 00:19:12,166
with sightlines
to the whole space.
561
00:19:12,166 --> 00:19:15,800
You'd have beautiful
hardwood floors
and statement light fixtures.
562
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:18,525
We'd update your family room
with modern finishes,
a great sectional,
563
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:19,467
We'd update your family room
with modern finishes,
a great sectional,
564
00:19:19,467 --> 00:19:22,667
and custom soundproof
French doors for privacy.
565
00:19:22,667 --> 00:19:24,867
On this side,
where your old dining room
and kitchen were,
566
00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:26,200
you'd have two sections.
567
00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:28,300
In the front, we'd give you
a great office, Jared,
568
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:31,700
with a desk, work station,
and lots of built-in storage.
569
00:19:31,767 --> 00:19:34,600
And in the back,
a great playroom for the kids.
570
00:19:34,667 --> 00:19:37,467
In between the two,
we build back
part of this wall,
571
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:40,667
but it would have glass panels
to let the light flow through.
572
00:19:40,667 --> 00:19:42,166
The two spaces
would be connected
573
00:19:42,166 --> 00:19:44,600
but you'd have the privacy
when you need it.
574
00:19:44,667 --> 00:19:46,467
Everything in here would feel,
575
00:19:46,467 --> 00:19:48,525
like, "This is the way
it was always supposed to be."
576
00:19:48,525 --> 00:19:49,367
like, "This is the way
it was always supposed to be."
577
00:19:49,367 --> 00:19:50,867
And you get
to keep your fireplace.
578
00:19:50,867 --> 00:19:52,300
-[laughs]
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
579
00:19:52,367 --> 00:19:55,000
It would take
eight weeks to complete,
580
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,166
coming in at your max budget
581
00:19:56,166 --> 00:19:57,467
of $200,000.
582
00:19:57,467 --> 00:19:58,867
That sounds really cool,
583
00:19:58,867 --> 00:20:01,567
just like, right now,
we don't spend much time
in the kitchen,
584
00:20:01,567 --> 00:20:04,166
because it was small
and kind of dark.
585
00:20:04,166 --> 00:20:06,667
Whereas if we have
a big open space,
586
00:20:06,667 --> 00:20:08,500
we'd probably spend
a lot of our time there.
587
00:20:08,567 --> 00:20:12,367
Having the, the family area,
kitchen, dining,
588
00:20:12,367 --> 00:20:14,767
and living area
kind of together...
589
00:20:14,767 --> 00:20:16,600
-Yeah.
-[Helen] ...makes sense.
And then,
590
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:18,525
having a separate playroom,
office space,
591
00:20:18,525 --> 00:20:19,200
having a separate playroom,
office space,
592
00:20:19,266 --> 00:20:20,567
-I think that would be--
-Yeah that does sound great.
593
00:20:20,567 --> 00:20:21,667
...a huge benefit.
594
00:20:21,667 --> 00:20:23,500
[Jonathan] Really,
when you came in before,
595
00:20:23,567 --> 00:20:27,667
it was a mess of toys
and for the first time,
it was from a grownup.
596
00:20:27,667 --> 00:20:29,166
-[both laugh]
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
597
00:20:29,166 --> 00:20:31,467
So, that's why I think
598
00:20:31,467 --> 00:20:33,667
this gives you
those two spaces.
599
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:35,700
-One for the kids,
one for you--
-Right.
600
00:20:35,767 --> 00:20:37,200
...where you can actually
keep things tucked away,
601
00:20:37,266 --> 00:20:39,467
and then keep
your entertaining areas
602
00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:41,467
-nice and clean, all the time.
-Right.
603
00:20:41,467 --> 00:20:44,300
So, option one would be
absolutely incredible.
604
00:20:44,367 --> 00:20:46,166
Option two, however,
605
00:20:46,166 --> 00:20:48,525
gives you something that
I know you would flip over.
606
00:20:48,525 --> 00:20:48,767
gives you something that
I know you would flip over.
607
00:20:48,767 --> 00:20:50,700
You don't get a separate
playroom and office,
608
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:52,500
because we'd leave them
where they originally were
609
00:20:52,567 --> 00:20:54,166
on the other side
of the house.
610
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:56,066
We keep the large area open,
611
00:20:56,066 --> 00:20:58,900
but all of the finishes would
be completely transformed,
612
00:20:58,967 --> 00:21:01,400
and you'd get
the same, great family room.
613
00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:03,767
But we'd put
your dining room and kitchen
on this side,
614
00:21:03,767 --> 00:21:05,467
where they originally were.
615
00:21:05,467 --> 00:21:06,700
We get rid of that wall
616
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:09,066
in the middle of the space,
with some structural work,
617
00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:11,967
and relocate the kitchen
to the front of the house.
618
00:21:11,967 --> 00:21:13,567
Same great finishes,
619
00:21:13,567 --> 00:21:16,100
but we'd have room to give you
an even bigger island,
620
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,525
and we've put in the same
beautiful dining room
at the back of the space.
621
00:21:18,525 --> 00:21:20,266
and we've put in the same
beautiful dining room
at the back of the space.
622
00:21:20,266 --> 00:21:21,967
And then you'd have
this beautiful aesthetic
623
00:21:21,967 --> 00:21:25,100
with light
flowing through here
and no obstructions at all.
624
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,467
Option two, same price point,
$200,000,
625
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:30,066
because there's more
structural work needed
626
00:21:30,066 --> 00:21:32,000
to open up this side
permanently.
627
00:21:32,066 --> 00:21:34,567
But we can finish
a little bit quicker,
628
00:21:34,567 --> 00:21:37,166
because we would not
have to rebuild this wall
629
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:41,266
to make two separate spaces,
one for the kids
and one for you, Jared.
630
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:42,867
So, it would take six weeks.
631
00:21:42,867 --> 00:21:46,166
I know you said how much
you'd love the idea
of this being completely open.
632
00:21:46,166 --> 00:21:47,867
I like the sound of that.
633
00:21:47,867 --> 00:21:48,525
I think it's better
to have the kitchen
on the current side.
634
00:21:48,525 --> 00:21:50,500
I think it's better
to have the kitchen
on the current side.
635
00:21:50,567 --> 00:21:52,767
I like the idea of moving it
to the front of the house,
636
00:21:52,767 --> 00:21:55,100
and that big enough to see,
the light flooding through.
637
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,166
But, I mean, that sounds good.
638
00:21:57,166 --> 00:21:59,667
-You sound less convinced.
-[Helen] I...
639
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:01,800
I mean,
after that first option,
640
00:22:01,867 --> 00:22:05,967
like, I'm picturing
the big area over there, so...
641
00:22:05,967 --> 00:22:10,100
Will this look as open
as having the kitchen,
dining on that side?
642
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,300
Oh, it's gonna be sunny.
I mean, if you think
of the footprint
643
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:13,467
that we have here
to work with,
644
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:14,800
it's gonna feel
so much bigger,
645
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,500
because this wall is gone.
646
00:22:16,567 --> 00:22:18,525
And we're not gonna have
this little French door
separation right here,
647
00:22:18,525 --> 00:22:19,300
And we're not gonna have
this little French door
separation right here,
648
00:22:19,367 --> 00:22:20,467
-like this.
-[both] Okay.
649
00:22:20,467 --> 00:22:23,467
-[Helen] What do you think?
-I'm favoring two,
650
00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:25,467
but you seem
to be keen on the one,
651
00:22:25,467 --> 00:22:26,667
-with the kitchen over there.
-I... I mean,
652
00:22:26,667 --> 00:22:30,300
I had never thought about that
as being a possibility.
653
00:22:30,367 --> 00:22:32,266
So, I think I'm kind of
654
00:22:32,266 --> 00:22:34,667
like, just thinking
about new options.
655
00:22:34,667 --> 00:22:36,266
So, what's it gonna be?
656
00:22:36,266 --> 00:22:38,667
You guys go with your gut.
I'm gonna start you off,
and then at the same time
657
00:22:38,667 --> 00:22:40,800
say, "Option one"
or "Option two" all right?
658
00:22:40,867 --> 00:22:43,967
-[both] Okay.
-[Drew] The option
you're gonna go with is...
659
00:22:43,967 --> 00:22:44,967
[both] Two.
660
00:22:44,967 --> 00:22:45,867
-Oh, wow.
-[exclaims]
661
00:22:45,867 --> 00:22:47,800
-Okay. You came around.
-[both laughing]
662
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:48,525
-[Jonathan] All right.
-[Helen] Jared's
a stay-at-home dad, right?
663
00:22:48,525 --> 00:22:49,867
-[Jonathan] All right.
-[Helen] Jared's
a stay-at-home dad, right?
664
00:22:49,867 --> 00:22:52,367
He obviously does his work
from home.
665
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:54,467
He watches the kids, he cooks,
666
00:22:54,467 --> 00:22:57,200
-so, you're the one
that's gonna use--
-Get my way.
667
00:22:57,266 --> 00:22:59,200
-...use the house the most.
-[laughs]
668
00:22:59,266 --> 00:23:01,300
We will now
take all the work from here.
669
00:23:01,367 --> 00:23:03,100
We'll make it incredible,
and trust me,
670
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:05,000
once you see your new kitchen,
671
00:23:05,066 --> 00:23:07,100
and how beautifully
everything flows,
672
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:08,266
you're gonna be glad
you picked it.
673
00:23:08,266 --> 00:23:09,867
[Drew] It's great that
Helen and Jared decided
674
00:23:09,867 --> 00:23:12,567
to open up the space
between the kitchen
and dining room.
675
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:15,500
Creating that open flow
will not only improve
the functionality of the space
676
00:23:15,567 --> 00:23:17,667
but it will fill every room
with light.
677
00:23:17,667 --> 00:23:18,525
Yeah, and in order to do that,
we have to put up
a massive beam
678
00:23:18,525 --> 00:23:20,900
Yeah, and in order to do that,
we have to put up
a massive beam
679
00:23:20,967 --> 00:23:23,800
where that wall was,
to support the entire weight
of the roof.
680
00:23:23,867 --> 00:23:26,166
And we'll also
have to pour footing
to support that beam.
681
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:31,400
-[chuckles] Still?
-[Drew] A little wider than
this hole that you have.
682
00:23:31,467 --> 00:23:34,300
Why would you not cut the hole
to get down to the rebar
683
00:23:34,367 --> 00:23:35,800
right above
the hole for the rebar?
684
00:23:35,867 --> 00:23:38,700
Well, there's still a load
on this wall here,
supporting the roof,
685
00:23:38,767 --> 00:23:41,066
so we couldn't
cut open right above it,
686
00:23:41,066 --> 00:23:43,367
but once we get our rebar set,
pour the concrete,
687
00:23:43,367 --> 00:23:46,500
that'll support our post
for the new beam
we're putting in,
688
00:23:46,567 --> 00:23:47,767
and then everything
will be rock solid.
689
00:23:47,767 --> 00:23:48,525
Listen. Why are...
690
00:23:48,525 --> 00:23:49,066
Listen. Why are...
691
00:23:49,066 --> 00:23:51,400
Why am I in the hole,
with my fancy sweater?
692
00:23:51,467 --> 00:23:53,100
[Jonathan] Why do you
wear fancy sweaters
693
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:54,967
-to do construction?
-[Drew] 'Cause I wanna
look good for you.
694
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:58,000
You're the only person
who has a series
of construction cashmere.
695
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,400
-I... [laughs]
-[Jonathan
speaks indistinctly]
696
00:24:00,467 --> 00:24:03,967
All you have to do
is put the rebar down,
tie it in.
697
00:24:03,967 --> 00:24:06,266
[Drew] I have to
crawl underneath,
698
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:10,066
and like, ninja my way over.
I'm like an acrobat
to get over
699
00:24:10,066 --> 00:24:12,400
to where I have to
tie the rebar into place.
700
00:24:12,467 --> 00:24:14,200
Oh, my God.
701
00:24:14,266 --> 00:24:15,700
Do you see what
you just dumped on me?
702
00:24:15,767 --> 00:24:17,266
[Jonathan] What? Oh, shoot.
703
00:24:17,266 --> 00:24:18,367
I didn't even notice that.
704
00:24:20,567 --> 00:24:21,567
[grunts]
705
00:24:21,567 --> 00:24:24,400
[Drew] All right.
I finished all the rebar.
706
00:24:24,467 --> 00:24:25,467
I wanna make sure we always
707
00:24:25,467 --> 00:24:27,800
keep a nice, clean
construction site as well.
708
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:30,467
-[Drew laughs] Come on.
-[Jonathan chuckles]
709
00:24:31,867 --> 00:24:34,100
-[Drew] Here you go.
-[laughing] Oh,
get out of here.
710
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:35,967
All right. Fine,
you can have it.
711
00:24:35,967 --> 00:24:37,500
Keeping your broom.
712
00:24:44,867 --> 00:24:46,166
[Jonathan] We're opening
all the walls
713
00:24:46,166 --> 00:24:47,967
and ceilings
just to get a closer look
714
00:24:47,967 --> 00:24:48,525
at some of
that problematic electrical,
715
00:24:48,525 --> 00:24:49,800
at some of
that problematic electrical,
716
00:24:49,867 --> 00:24:52,300
and I really don't like
what we're finding.
717
00:24:52,367 --> 00:24:53,867
It's far worse
than we expected.
718
00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:57,166
There's just so much
going on up here,
719
00:24:57,166 --> 00:25:00,600
and I think, over the years,
they've just kept
tying things together
720
00:25:00,667 --> 00:25:02,166
and tying things together.
721
00:25:02,166 --> 00:25:05,266
Junction boxes
that we found in the wall,
junction boxes in the attic.
722
00:25:05,266 --> 00:25:08,367
Oh, that's not even attached.
You can just slide that
out of the way.
723
00:25:08,367 --> 00:25:09,667
Okay, that's not
to code, either.
724
00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:11,800
This is the problem
when you have
a house that's older,
725
00:25:11,867 --> 00:25:15,166
years after years that go by,
of people doing add-ons
and little fixes
726
00:25:15,166 --> 00:25:17,567
and hack jobs,
then all of a sudden,
when you open things up,
727
00:25:17,567 --> 00:25:18,525
it is like Frankenstein
inside the walls.
728
00:25:18,525 --> 00:25:19,667
it is like Frankenstein
inside the walls.
729
00:25:19,667 --> 00:25:23,200
'Cause they've got
a lot of LED lights
that are tied into junctions
730
00:25:23,266 --> 00:25:25,000
of the old
original electrical.
731
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,667
They have, like, flickering...
732
00:25:26,667 --> 00:25:29,166
I'm amazed that somebody
didn't get electrocuted.
733
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:30,500
There's so much stuff
going up here
734
00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:31,467
that just looks sketch.
735
00:25:31,467 --> 00:25:33,266
All right, so,
everything has to go.
736
00:25:33,266 --> 00:25:35,767
I, I think that
let's just put in all new.
737
00:25:35,767 --> 00:25:37,667
We already have to run,
by code today,
738
00:25:37,667 --> 00:25:39,667
new circuits
for every single appliance.
739
00:25:39,667 --> 00:25:42,266
But I think this is so bad,
that we have to
740
00:25:42,266 --> 00:25:44,867
pull new lines
right back to the panel
741
00:25:44,867 --> 00:25:47,200
and then
they'll never have an issue
with electrical again.
742
00:25:47,266 --> 00:25:48,525
This house has some of
743
00:25:48,525 --> 00:25:48,600
This house has some of
744
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,967
the shoddiest
electrical work
I have ever seen.
745
00:25:50,967 --> 00:25:53,600
And we always set money aside
in the budget for electrical,
746
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:55,367
but in this case, not enough.
747
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:57,400
Replacing the lines
in the front of the house
748
00:25:57,467 --> 00:25:59,467
will put us about $9,000
749
00:25:59,467 --> 00:26:02,767
over Helen and Jared's
max $200,000 budget.
750
00:26:02,767 --> 00:26:05,600
They were pretty clear
that they have
no more money to spend,
751
00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:07,600
so now it falls on us
to figure out
752
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:09,266
how we can stay
within their budget.
753
00:26:13,667 --> 00:26:15,467
The electrical
in Helen and Jared's home
754
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:17,667
is getting
a complete overhaul.
755
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:19,200
We're getting rid
of all the old circuits,
756
00:26:19,266 --> 00:26:21,000
replacing them
with brand new ones,
757
00:26:21,066 --> 00:26:24,000
and running everything
into an organized panel.
758
00:26:24,066 --> 00:26:26,500
But in doing so,
we went 9k over
759
00:26:26,567 --> 00:26:30,166
the amount
allotted for electrical
in their $200,000 budget.
760
00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:34,567
So, we'll try
and stretch the remaining
$191,000 as much as possible,
761
00:26:34,567 --> 00:26:37,000
by saving money
anywhere that we can.
762
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:40,667
Adding this door
to the family room
is important for them,
763
00:26:40,667 --> 00:26:41,194
'cause they want the ability
to separate that space,
close it off for noise.
764
00:26:41,194 --> 00:26:44,000
'cause they want the ability
to separate that space,
close it off for noise.
765
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,066
I say we bring it
all the way over to this side,
and start here.
766
00:26:47,066 --> 00:26:49,700
-Because that's pretty well
lined up with this opening.
-So...
767
00:26:49,767 --> 00:26:52,767
Instead of
framing back each side,
we'll frame this side over
768
00:26:52,767 --> 00:26:54,500
-as far as we can.
-Yeah, exactly.
769
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:58,467
Initially, we were thinking of
giving Helen and Jared
custom made soundproof doors,
770
00:26:58,467 --> 00:26:59,967
but those are quite expensive.
771
00:26:59,967 --> 00:27:01,767
And so, we're trying
to cut costs
wherever we can.
772
00:27:01,767 --> 00:27:03,867
Yeah, so we're doing something
a little unconventional,
773
00:27:03,867 --> 00:27:07,166
and we're using exterior doors
that are inherently
more insulated.
774
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:09,367
They might not be
the perfect
soundproof solution,
775
00:27:09,367 --> 00:27:10,433
but they're a lot cheaper,
776
00:27:10,433 --> 00:27:11,194
and they're absolutely
gonna make it quieter.
777
00:27:11,194 --> 00:27:12,066
and they're absolutely
gonna make it quieter.
778
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:15,667
Bam.
779
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,266
We're putting up
the massive beam
780
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:25,600
to fully open up the space
for Helen and Jared's
781
00:27:25,667 --> 00:27:27,266
new kitchen
and dining room.
782
00:27:27,266 --> 00:27:29,100
It's a big chunk
of the budget
783
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:31,500
but it's worth it to give
these guys a dream kitchen
784
00:27:31,567 --> 00:27:34,266
that flows directly into
their formal dining room.
785
00:27:34,266 --> 00:27:38,567
That kind of connectivity
will be a massive improvement
over what they have.
786
00:27:38,567 --> 00:27:40,367
It took seeing
a finished space
787
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:41,194
to get a clear understanding
of the clean mid-century
modern design
788
00:27:41,194 --> 00:27:43,266
to get a clear understanding
of the clean mid-century
modern design
789
00:27:43,266 --> 00:27:44,500
Helen and Jared want.
790
00:27:44,567 --> 00:27:46,100
Now it's time
to fine-tune the finishes.
791
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:47,667
Okay. Jared and Helen.
792
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:50,467
-I want this
to be spectacular.
-Yeah.
793
00:27:50,467 --> 00:27:51,900
[Jonathan]
And at the same time
794
00:27:51,967 --> 00:27:53,867
we need to do all we can
to save them a bit of money.
795
00:27:53,867 --> 00:27:55,100
On the
aesthetic side of things
796
00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:56,667
they want a
mid-century modern feel.
797
00:27:56,667 --> 00:27:57,667
They like color.
798
00:27:57,667 --> 00:27:59,467
As far as cabinetry,
799
00:27:59,467 --> 00:28:01,000
why don't we
800
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,867
go with something two-tone?
801
00:28:02,867 --> 00:28:05,266
We can do, like,
wood tones and... and color.
802
00:28:05,266 --> 00:28:06,600
[Drew] When we
toured the mid-century home
803
00:28:06,667 --> 00:28:08,667
Helen mentioned
liking green or blue.
804
00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:09,800
Well, that's nice.
805
00:28:09,867 --> 00:28:11,000
Yeah, I would like that.
806
00:28:11,066 --> 00:28:11,194
Um, right,
and for the wood cabinets
807
00:28:11,194 --> 00:28:13,467
Um, right,
and for the wood cabinets
808
00:28:13,467 --> 00:28:15,266
you have something
809
00:28:15,266 --> 00:28:18,000
almost like a walnut,
that would be...
810
00:28:18,066 --> 00:28:19,567
nice. Okay,
this would be good.
811
00:28:19,567 --> 00:28:21,967
And it's a
little less expensive
than the one you picked.
812
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:23,500
That's nice!
I think what's exciting is
813
00:28:23,567 --> 00:28:25,100
every room
will have its own feel.
814
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:26,800
I love the color
for the kitchen,
815
00:28:26,867 --> 00:28:28,767
the family room
will have its own feel.
816
00:28:28,767 --> 00:28:30,000
For the family room pillows,
817
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,266
let's bring in some style.
818
00:28:32,266 --> 00:28:33,367
He likes green.
819
00:28:33,367 --> 00:28:34,767
I think this will look great.
820
00:28:34,767 --> 00:28:36,767
And it's an inexpensive way
to introduce color.
821
00:28:36,767 --> 00:28:38,467
Yeah, I love that.
Something that's
nice and clean.
822
00:28:38,467 --> 00:28:39,900
Something to do
with earth tones, too.
823
00:28:39,967 --> 00:28:41,166
You can bring in some weave.
824
00:28:41,166 --> 00:28:41,194
And again, mid-century modern
is their style.
825
00:28:41,194 --> 00:28:43,300
And again, mid-century modern
is their style.
826
00:28:43,367 --> 00:28:45,467
Yeah. I mean, they are
definitely leaning into
827
00:28:45,467 --> 00:28:47,567
the California feel.
828
00:28:47,567 --> 00:28:49,100
It'll look gorgeous.
829
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:51,367
We just have to figure out
how to cut costs.
830
00:28:51,367 --> 00:28:52,634
One step at a time.
831
00:28:58,367 --> 00:29:00,867
I was trying to think of ways
to save Helen and Jared money
832
00:29:00,867 --> 00:29:02,567
with this renovation,
833
00:29:02,567 --> 00:29:05,100
and I think I came up
with a really good one
in this family room.
834
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:06,800
They wanted something
more functional
835
00:29:06,867 --> 00:29:08,800
than what they have
with the books behind the TV.
836
00:29:08,867 --> 00:29:11,194
-Something that looks
aesthetically pleasing.
-Okay.
837
00:29:11,194 --> 00:29:11,567
-Something that looks
aesthetically pleasing.
-Okay.
838
00:29:11,567 --> 00:29:13,100
When the custom framing
came back
839
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:14,800
to do a
whole media build in here
840
00:29:14,867 --> 00:29:16,867
-it was, like, $5,000.
-[John] Wow.
841
00:29:16,867 --> 00:29:18,667
-Like, we don't have $5,000.
-Yeah.
842
00:29:18,667 --> 00:29:20,367
-Then last night...
-[John] Mmm-hmm.
843
00:29:20,367 --> 00:29:22,300
...I was walking
into my workshop,
844
00:29:22,367 --> 00:29:23,667
and I saw
845
00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:25,467
-one of our old pieces...
-[John mimics angelic choir]
846
00:29:25,467 --> 00:29:27,166
...sitting up on the shelf.
847
00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:29,200
It's just been sitting there
for, like, a year and a half.
848
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:31,700
Speaks perfectly
to their aesthetic.
849
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,900
We could
850
00:29:33,967 --> 00:29:37,066
put this in and
make it look built-in.
851
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:39,367
Furring our drywall
on both sides,
852
00:29:39,367 --> 00:29:41,194
slide in this furniture piece
nice and tight,
853
00:29:41,194 --> 00:29:42,166
slide in this furniture piece
nice and tight,
854
00:29:42,166 --> 00:29:44,300
then put a toe kick
across the bottom...
855
00:29:44,367 --> 00:29:45,867
Boom! All of a sudden
it looks built-in.
856
00:29:45,867 --> 00:29:47,800
Yeah. Doesn't do any good
staying in the warehouse.
857
00:29:47,867 --> 00:29:49,667
No. Exactly.
They can have this for free...
858
00:29:49,667 --> 00:29:51,467
-[John] Mmm-hmm.
-...it'll look beautiful
in here,
859
00:29:51,467 --> 00:29:53,700
-save them five grand.
-They'd be happy about that.
860
00:29:53,767 --> 00:29:55,066
Everybody loves saving money.
861
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,367
[Jonathan] Jared will not part
862
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:03,867
with the huge fireplace
in the middle
of this home's entrance
863
00:30:03,867 --> 00:30:05,867
so we'll just try
and update its look.
864
00:30:05,867 --> 00:30:07,567
Instead of this plain mantle
865
00:30:07,567 --> 00:30:10,767
I wanna give this fireplace
a really beautiful,
sleek wooden one
866
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:11,194
that will really blend in
with the new design.
867
00:30:11,194 --> 00:30:12,700
that will really blend in
with the new design.
868
00:30:13,667 --> 00:30:14,900
If we could make this, like,
869
00:30:15,367 --> 00:30:16,767
even just an inch
870
00:30:16,767 --> 00:30:18,400
-narrower on either side...
-All right.
871
00:30:18,467 --> 00:30:20,166
-...I think it would be
a better fit.
-Mmm-hmm.
872
00:30:20,166 --> 00:30:22,266
[Jonathan] Well, let's see
how much damage they did
873
00:30:22,266 --> 00:30:23,667
when they put this in.
874
00:30:23,667 --> 00:30:24,867
Changing out this mantle
875
00:30:24,867 --> 00:30:27,166
is such an easy
and affordable way
876
00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:30,200
to update it and just breathe
new life into the fireplace.
877
00:30:30,266 --> 00:30:31,200
It's gonna look amazing.
878
00:30:31,266 --> 00:30:32,367
Two, three.
879
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,567
Look at that.
880
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:38,166
Almost perfectly clean.
Little bit of patch
881
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:40,667
-repair here, but...
-[John] Mmm-hmm.
882
00:30:40,667 --> 00:30:41,194
-...I feel like
we'll be good...
-[John] True that.
883
00:30:41,194 --> 00:30:42,567
-...I feel like
we'll be good...
-[John] True that.
884
00:30:42,567 --> 00:30:46,266
...if you put
the brand-new mantle
885
00:30:46,266 --> 00:30:47,900
-just a little bit lower...
-[John] Okay.
886
00:30:47,967 --> 00:30:49,300
...I think it'll feel better.
887
00:30:49,367 --> 00:30:50,867
Nice. Okay.
888
00:30:50,867 --> 00:30:52,734
I like it.
889
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,400
[Drew] We're giving everything
in Helen and Jared's space
a nice coat of white paint
890
00:31:04,467 --> 00:31:08,367
including Jared's
beloved fireplace.
891
00:31:08,367 --> 00:31:12,000
And in the kitchen our team
is starting the install
of the gorgeous new cabinets
892
00:31:12,066 --> 00:31:16,200
which will make
this spacious kitchen
so much more functional.
893
00:31:16,266 --> 00:31:19,500
This kitchen's gorgeous
and it's so much bigger
than what they had before.
894
00:31:19,567 --> 00:31:22,200
It's a better use of space.
895
00:31:22,266 --> 00:31:25,066
[Jonathan] The issue is that
doing the electrical
costs more than expected
896
00:31:25,066 --> 00:31:25,395
and Jared and Helen
can't go over $200,000.
897
00:31:25,395 --> 00:31:28,367
and Jared and Helen
can't go over $200,000.
898
00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:30,066
So, we have to get creative
899
00:31:30,066 --> 00:31:32,567
and find ways
to save here and there.
900
00:31:32,567 --> 00:31:34,667
I think the whole thing here
is we need to find ways
901
00:31:34,667 --> 00:31:36,166
so we can have
that high-end look
902
00:31:36,166 --> 00:31:37,567
with a low-end cost.
903
00:31:37,567 --> 00:31:40,066
-We're trying.
-We spend so much
on electrical, too.
904
00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:42,400
That's the hard thing.
There is a lot of work
to redo.
905
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:44,600
That's why
not doing some slab
906
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:47,266
just doing a nice tile, like,
this is a ceramic...
907
00:31:47,266 --> 00:31:48,567
I think
this will look gorgeous.
908
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:51,100
I like that. This tile
will look really nice.
909
00:31:51,166 --> 00:31:54,066
[Drew] And we'll definitely
save them money
compared to putting up slab.
910
00:31:54,066 --> 00:31:55,395
I love that. Let's do that
all the way around.
911
00:31:55,395 --> 00:31:56,066
I love that. Let's do that
all the way around.
912
00:31:56,066 --> 00:31:58,967
Do we eliminate
the cabinet above the bar
913
00:31:58,967 --> 00:32:01,100
and just do, like,
a couple floating shelves
or something?
914
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:03,800
Yeah, they... they like
to tuck some things away.
915
00:32:03,867 --> 00:32:05,467
-So... yeah.
-[Jonathan] I'll take that
as a no.
916
00:32:05,467 --> 00:32:07,066
I don't know about that.
We're kind of in a spot
917
00:32:07,066 --> 00:32:09,100
where there's
nowhere else we can...
918
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:12,100
save. We've already paid
for our flooring,
919
00:32:12,166 --> 00:32:13,567
we've already
got our cabinets.
920
00:32:13,567 --> 00:32:15,166
Any money in the drawers?
921
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:17,066
-If we could find a couple
of bucks in the drawers...
-[Jonathan chuckles] No.
922
00:32:17,066 --> 00:32:19,200
[Drew] We've done everything
we could in the kitchen,
923
00:32:19,266 --> 00:32:22,066
we'll have to
find ways to save
in other parts of the house.
924
00:32:22,066 --> 00:32:24,166
I'm gonna continue
just measuring for the tile
925
00:32:24,166 --> 00:32:25,395
and if you wanna,
take care of the vent hood.
926
00:32:25,395 --> 00:32:25,900
and if you wanna,
take care of the vent hood.
927
00:32:25,967 --> 00:32:26,867
Okay.
928
00:32:28,667 --> 00:32:31,000
[power saw whirring]
929
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,867
[Jonathan] The gorgeous
hardwood floors are going down
throughout the house
930
00:32:33,867 --> 00:32:36,667
which will give
the main spaces
a great unified look.
931
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,400
And the beautiful
light stone counters
932
00:32:39,467 --> 00:32:41,367
will work perfectly
with the rich color
933
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:43,667
Helen and Jared
picked for the cabinets.
934
00:32:43,667 --> 00:32:45,367
Okay. You got it? You got it?
935
00:32:45,367 --> 00:32:47,166
-Are you doing anything?
-Got it? No, I'm literally...
936
00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:49,300
-I'm literally
not even touching it.
-[John chuckles] Got it.
937
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:51,166
[Jonathan] We've been
racking our brains
938
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:53,800
trying to think of ways
we can save money
for these guys in this reno.
939
00:32:53,867 --> 00:32:55,395
I think we came up
with a perfect solution
in Jared's workspace.
940
00:32:55,395 --> 00:32:56,667
I think we came up
with a perfect solution
in Jared's workspace.
941
00:32:56,667 --> 00:32:58,567
This actually turned out
to be a great compromise
942
00:32:58,567 --> 00:32:59,867
'cause originally
943
00:32:59,867 --> 00:33:02,800
I had grand plans
of wraparound built-ins
944
00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:04,667
with an
incorporated desk and...
945
00:33:04,667 --> 00:33:07,300
Now, by having
a free floating desk
946
00:33:07,367 --> 00:33:09,600
and then
just doing one straight shot
947
00:33:09,667 --> 00:33:10,667
with the storage,
948
00:33:10,667 --> 00:33:12,667
it's gonna save them
a ton of money.
949
00:33:12,667 --> 00:33:14,867
If we wanted
to do full built-ins
950
00:33:14,867 --> 00:33:16,367
this would be
three times the price.
951
00:33:16,367 --> 00:33:18,667
This will be so much better
952
00:33:18,667 --> 00:33:22,266
than the chaotic mess
of what was out here before.
953
00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:25,000
No more mess.
I'm doing this for Helen.
No more mess.
954
00:33:25,066 --> 00:33:25,395
This is great. He's gonna love
the amount of storage
that he has here.
955
00:33:25,395 --> 00:33:27,266
This is great. He's gonna love
the amount of storage
that he has here.
956
00:33:27,266 --> 00:33:29,867
Should we
recess the tracks in?
957
00:33:29,867 --> 00:33:31,200
-Or am I just...
-Can you stop
958
00:33:31,266 --> 00:33:32,166
-adding?
-...I'm just...
959
00:33:32,166 --> 00:33:33,667
From a design perspective.
960
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,066
-I'm trying to think
of things that would work.
-Can I have this a sec?
961
00:33:35,066 --> 00:33:36,800
-Yeah.
-[John] Hit him with it.
Yeah, there you go.
962
00:33:38,667 --> 00:33:41,500
[Jonathan] The stunning
cabinets in the kitchen are
a perfect combination
963
00:33:41,567 --> 00:33:43,367
of the dark blue
that Helen loves
964
00:33:43,367 --> 00:33:45,767
and the dark wood tones
that Jared's drawn to.
965
00:33:45,767 --> 00:33:47,867
I love the bold choices
these guys made
966
00:33:47,867 --> 00:33:49,967
because it'll really make
this kitchen pop.
967
00:33:49,967 --> 00:33:51,667
[Drew straining] Good God.
968
00:33:51,667 --> 00:33:53,700
[Jonathan] I'm warning now
this is gonna be tight.
969
00:33:53,767 --> 00:33:55,395
Helen and Jared
needed a place to put the TV
in the family room
970
00:33:55,395 --> 00:33:56,567
Helen and Jared
needed a place to put the TV
in the family room
971
00:33:56,567 --> 00:33:59,100
and rather than
putting in costly built-ins,
972
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:00,567
we're bringing in
a great piece of furniture
973
00:34:00,567 --> 00:34:02,500
that was just gathering dust
in our warehouse.
974
00:34:02,567 --> 00:34:04,667
Yeah, our crew has
built out the walls a bit
around the nook
975
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:05,900
where this piece is gonna go.
976
00:34:05,967 --> 00:34:07,367
So it's gonna fit like a glove
977
00:34:07,367 --> 00:34:09,367
and it will look like
it was a custom-made piece
for the space.
978
00:34:09,367 --> 00:34:10,467
[Drew] One, two, three.
979
00:34:11,567 --> 00:34:13,166
-[Jonathan] Oh, my gosh.
-[Drew] I cannot believe
980
00:34:13,166 --> 00:34:14,567
-how a perfect fit that is.
-[Jonathan chuckles]
981
00:34:14,567 --> 00:34:16,166
This goes to show
982
00:34:16,166 --> 00:34:18,100
you can always find
a new home for something.
983
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:20,266
Jonathan and I actually
do keep a lot of pieces
984
00:34:20,266 --> 00:34:21,767
from past projects
985
00:34:21,767 --> 00:34:24,767
because we know
there will always be somewhere
that we can use that.
986
00:34:24,767 --> 00:34:25,395
If we had to anything custom,
all of a sudden,
987
00:34:25,395 --> 00:34:27,367
If we had to anything custom,
all of a sudden,
988
00:34:27,367 --> 00:34:29,367
-they're using up money
they don't have.
-Yeah.
989
00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:31,667
[Jonathan] It feels great to
give Helen and Jared's kitchen
990
00:34:31,667 --> 00:34:34,166
the updates that'll really
bring it to the next level.
991
00:34:34,166 --> 00:34:36,166
A great sink, gorgeous range,
992
00:34:36,166 --> 00:34:37,967
and tons of storage.
993
00:34:37,967 --> 00:34:40,567
The original kitchen
was pretty dysfunctional.
994
00:34:40,567 --> 00:34:42,400
This one is out of the park.
995
00:34:42,467 --> 00:34:44,166
We had to direct
a lot more of the budget
996
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:46,400
toward the electrical than
we'd expected with this reno,
997
00:34:46,467 --> 00:34:48,467
so we really tried to save
where we could.
998
00:34:48,467 --> 00:34:50,667
And a little bit
of ingenuity from me
999
00:34:50,667 --> 00:34:53,467
and a little bit of luck,
we managed to get this budget
back in line.
1000
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:02,467
[Drew] Helen and Jared
permanently left England
1001
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:04,367
because they fell in love
with the setting
1002
00:35:04,367 --> 00:35:06,467
and the weather
in gorgeous Pasadena.
1003
00:35:06,467 --> 00:35:08,000
[Jonathan] They found
the ideal neighborhood
1004
00:35:08,066 --> 00:35:09,667
and now they have
their perfect home.
1005
00:35:09,667 --> 00:35:11,600
It's light, open,
1006
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:13,500
and full of the mid-century
modern touches that they love.
1007
00:35:13,567 --> 00:35:15,000
It is their forever-home.
1008
00:35:15,967 --> 00:35:17,100
[Drew] Okay.
1009
00:35:17,667 --> 00:35:19,567
-[vocalizing]
-Yo.
1010
00:35:19,567 --> 00:35:21,000
-How you feeling?
-[Drew] I'm feeling good.
1011
00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:22,900
I feel like this is going to
1012
00:35:22,967 --> 00:35:25,266
-absolutely blow
their minds...
-[Drew] Yeah.
1013
00:35:25,266 --> 00:35:25,395
...Came together so nicely.
1014
00:35:25,395 --> 00:35:26,500
...Came together so nicely.
1015
00:35:26,567 --> 00:35:28,500
'Cause this kitchen
is a beautiful place
1016
00:35:28,567 --> 00:35:30,000
that is going to inspire.
1017
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,600
Are you trying to
pat yourself in the back?
1018
00:35:31,667 --> 00:35:32,834
-Yes. Could you--
-[Drew] I can help you.
1019
00:35:32,834 --> 00:35:34,367
-Could you get that for me?
-Yeah, one over there too.
1020
00:35:34,367 --> 00:35:35,767
Should we grab
Helen and Jared?
1021
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:37,667
-Yes, let's do it.
-All right.
1022
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:39,100
-[Drew] Mmm. Now we're good.
-[Jonathan] Now we're good.
1023
00:35:39,166 --> 00:35:40,166
[Jonathan scoffs]
1024
00:35:42,867 --> 00:35:44,300
[Drew] How do you feel?
1025
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:46,300
-[Jared] I'm getting more
nervous by the second.
-[Drew] Yeah?
1026
00:35:46,367 --> 00:35:48,100
I mean, this is so strange.
1027
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:49,300
I mean, this has
never happened before,
1028
00:35:49,367 --> 00:35:50,867
-obviously.
-No, no, no, no.
Your house was strange,
1029
00:35:50,867 --> 00:35:52,266
-but now
it's beautiful inside.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
1030
00:35:52,266 --> 00:35:53,800
-I hope so.
-Are you saying you've never
had a group of strangers
1031
00:35:53,867 --> 00:35:55,395
come and kick you
out of your house and fix it?
1032
00:35:55,395 --> 00:35:55,500
come and kick you
out of your house and fix it?
1033
00:35:55,567 --> 00:35:56,567
-Weird.
-[Helen chuckles] Nope.
1034
00:35:56,567 --> 00:35:57,667
[all chuckling]
1035
00:35:57,667 --> 00:35:58,567
[doorknob clicks open]
1036
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:01,567
Oh...
1037
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,367
My goodness!
1038
00:36:10,667 --> 00:36:11,800
Oh...
1039
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,567
My goodness!
1040
00:36:15,367 --> 00:36:17,367
This... [exclaims]
1041
00:36:17,367 --> 00:36:19,266
[yells excitedly]
1042
00:36:20,367 --> 00:36:21,367
[Jared] Oh, my.
1043
00:36:24,066 --> 00:36:26,367
-It looks amazing.
-[Jared] This is unreal.
1044
00:36:26,367 --> 00:36:27,667
[in awe] This is our kitchen?
1045
00:36:27,667 --> 00:36:29,300
[Helen] This is our house!
Oh, my...
1046
00:36:29,367 --> 00:36:31,400
Oh, my! [exclaims]
1047
00:36:31,467 --> 00:36:34,000
You don't hide
your emotions at all.
1048
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,066
[mimics Helen]
1049
00:36:36,266 --> 00:36:36,956
It's so funny to think of
1050
00:36:36,956 --> 00:36:38,166
It's so funny to think of
1051
00:36:38,166 --> 00:36:39,767
what was here before.
1052
00:36:39,767 --> 00:36:41,767
-[indistinct]
-[Jonathan] Your kitchen was
like this
1053
00:36:41,767 --> 00:36:44,567
shameful secret tucked
into the back of the house.
1054
00:36:44,567 --> 00:36:46,467
-How does it feel?
-[Jared] Oh, my. I just...
1055
00:36:46,467 --> 00:36:49,100
I can't believe... I...
I'm totally lost for words.
1056
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:50,800
This is so much better.
1057
00:36:50,867 --> 00:36:52,567
Like, you see,
it's so spacious.
1058
00:36:52,567 --> 00:36:54,867
The colors are beautiful.
Exactly what I want.
1059
00:36:54,867 --> 00:36:57,066
-I love the wood.
I love the darker blue...
-[Helen] Oh, yeah.
1060
00:36:57,066 --> 00:36:58,367
-...and the
white countertops, right?
- [Helen] Yeah.
1061
00:36:58,367 --> 00:36:59,867
This is so nice.
1062
00:36:59,867 --> 00:37:01,400
I love this.
1063
00:37:01,467 --> 00:37:03,467
I don't know how you fit
something this big in here
1064
00:37:03,467 --> 00:37:06,166
but, like,
this is exactly what I wanted.
1065
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:06,956
What's this gonna change?
How do you see
yourself using it?
1066
00:37:06,956 --> 00:37:09,000
What's this gonna change?
How do you see
yourself using it?
1067
00:37:09,066 --> 00:37:12,000
Well, I can now cook
and interact with the kids.
1068
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,567
-We can... we can... we can--
-[Helen] We can stand around
and talk...
1069
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,200
-[Jared] We can be a family in
our home, you know.
-...and, like, yes...
1070
00:37:15,266 --> 00:37:16,467
...see people.
1071
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:18,200
-[Jared] This is incredible.
-And it's super functional.
1072
00:37:18,266 --> 00:37:19,667
You have so much storage
1073
00:37:19,667 --> 00:37:21,333
compared to what you
had before.
1074
00:37:21,333 --> 00:37:23,300
-You have so much storage
along here and here...
- [Helen chuckles]
1075
00:37:23,367 --> 00:37:26,166
...All along the back.
You have all the bells and
whistles of what you need.
1076
00:37:26,166 --> 00:37:27,166
This is your microwave.
1077
00:37:27,166 --> 00:37:28,467
So you just push here
1078
00:37:28,467 --> 00:37:30,667
and there's
a little button here.
All the controls on top.
1079
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:32,367
-It's nice and easy
to top load.
-[Helen] That's amazing.
1080
00:37:32,367 --> 00:37:33,700
[Drew] You have
your oven over here.
1081
00:37:33,767 --> 00:37:34,867
Check that out.
1082
00:37:34,867 --> 00:37:36,567
-[Helen] Ooh!
-[Jared] Oh, that's big.
1083
00:37:36,567 --> 00:37:36,956
Enough space for a turkey.
1084
00:37:36,956 --> 00:37:38,567
Enough space for a turkey.
1085
00:37:38,567 --> 00:37:40,567
[Drew] You have
a gigantic fridge
with multiple drawers.
1086
00:37:40,567 --> 00:37:42,667
-[Helen] Oh, my goodness.
-[Jared] Wow.
1087
00:37:42,667 --> 00:37:44,367
And there's... ice machine?
1088
00:37:44,367 --> 00:37:45,967
-[Helen] Yeah.
-That's huge.
1089
00:37:45,967 --> 00:37:47,567
-[Helen chuckles]
-[Jared] Awesome.
1090
00:37:47,567 --> 00:37:49,467
It's like a
completely different house.
1091
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:50,867
It's, like,
I feel like a grown-up.
1092
00:37:50,867 --> 00:37:52,567
Oh, my goodness,
like, this is like
1093
00:37:52,567 --> 00:37:53,967
where adults live.
1094
00:37:53,967 --> 00:37:56,000
-[Jared laughs]
-[Helen chuckling]
Right? Like...
1095
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,767
I hate to tell you this
1096
00:37:57,767 --> 00:38:00,166
you're grown up.
1097
00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:03,066
What does it mean, though,
to know that this is gonna be
where your kids grow up?
1098
00:38:03,066 --> 00:38:04,100
[exhales]
1099
00:38:04,166 --> 00:38:05,467
She's trying to make us cry.
1100
00:38:05,467 --> 00:38:06,956
-[Helen laughs]
-[Jared exclaims]
1101
00:38:06,956 --> 00:38:08,066
-[Helen laughs]
-[Jared exclaims]
1102
00:38:08,066 --> 00:38:10,200
I feel like since we moved to
1103
00:38:10,266 --> 00:38:12,367
America, it's been hard.
1104
00:38:12,367 --> 00:38:14,700
[Jared] Well,
you never really feel like
you're at home, right?
1105
00:38:14,767 --> 00:38:16,767
Like, we're
outsiders to America.
1106
00:38:16,767 --> 00:38:18,166
And, even when
we go back to England,
1107
00:38:18,166 --> 00:38:19,700
now we've been here so long,
1108
00:38:19,767 --> 00:38:21,800
we kind of feel
like outsiders in England.
1109
00:38:21,867 --> 00:38:24,266
Um, so it's incredible
to think that there's
1110
00:38:24,266 --> 00:38:26,567
-like, a place for us,
you know.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
1111
00:38:26,567 --> 00:38:29,600
[Helen] This, just like,
is the icing on the cake
of, like...
1112
00:38:29,667 --> 00:38:32,600
This is where we could
live forever, you know.
1113
00:38:32,667 --> 00:38:34,800
It's unreal. I just can't...
1114
00:38:34,867 --> 00:38:36,600
-[Helen exclaims]
-[Jonathan chuckles]
1115
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:36,956
[Helen] I'm so excited.
1116
00:38:36,956 --> 00:38:38,000
[Helen] I'm so excited.
1117
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,300
[Jonathan] Come over here
to your beautiful
1118
00:38:40,367 --> 00:38:41,867
live edge dining table.
1119
00:38:41,867 --> 00:38:42,934
[Helen] Wow.
1120
00:38:42,967 --> 00:38:45,367
I never thought we could own
something like this.
1121
00:38:45,367 --> 00:38:47,467
-Oh, these chairs
are splendid.
-Looks amazing.
1122
00:38:47,467 --> 00:38:50,367
[Jonathan] This is
a way better spot
for your dining table
1123
00:38:50,367 --> 00:38:51,600
-than it was for your kitchen.
-[Jared] Yeah.
1124
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,800
I mean,
that was a wall there.
This area's
1125
00:38:53,867 --> 00:38:55,266
so much lighter
and brighter, like,
1126
00:38:55,266 --> 00:38:58,000
when this was a kitchen
this was such a dark space.
1127
00:38:58,066 --> 00:38:59,166
It's just transformed it.
1128
00:38:59,166 --> 00:39:00,634
It seems the natural placement
1129
00:39:00,634 --> 00:39:01,867
-of the kitchen
and the dining room.
-[Helen] Yeah, it seems like
1130
00:39:01,867 --> 00:39:03,066
it should be like this, right?
1131
00:39:03,066 --> 00:39:05,100
It's just open, right?
And clean, now.
1132
00:39:05,166 --> 00:39:06,667
Floor is unbelievable.
1133
00:39:06,667 --> 00:39:06,956
[Jared] Such a perfect color.
1134
00:39:06,956 --> 00:39:08,667
[Jared] Such a perfect color.
1135
00:39:08,667 --> 00:39:11,266
I'm so happy that
you're loving the dining room
1136
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:12,467
and the kitchen but,
1137
00:39:12,467 --> 00:39:14,667
there is a space for
the whole family to lounge.
1138
00:39:14,667 --> 00:39:15,967
It was important to you.
1139
00:39:15,967 --> 00:39:17,500
Come on into your family room.
1140
00:39:17,567 --> 00:39:19,467
-[Jared] Look at these doors.
-[Helen gasps]
1141
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:22,800
Oh, my goodness.
1142
00:39:22,867 --> 00:39:24,166
[Jonathan] What a difference.
1143
00:39:24,166 --> 00:39:25,567
[Helen giggles]
1144
00:39:26,166 --> 00:39:27,500
Look at these pictures.
1145
00:39:27,567 --> 00:39:28,500
[Jared exclaims]
1146
00:39:28,567 --> 00:39:30,200
And that's him
when we moved in.
1147
00:39:30,266 --> 00:39:31,367
[Helen exclaims]
1148
00:39:31,367 --> 00:39:32,300
[Jared] Incredible.
1149
00:39:32,367 --> 00:39:34,200
Before, the way
you had the TV set up
1150
00:39:34,266 --> 00:39:35,467
it just felt tired.
1151
00:39:35,467 --> 00:39:36,956
You mentioned that you loved
that mid-century modern vibe
1152
00:39:36,956 --> 00:39:38,100
You mentioned that you loved
that mid-century modern vibe
1153
00:39:38,166 --> 00:39:39,567
and so we wanted to make sure
we introduced that
1154
00:39:39,567 --> 00:39:41,367
with some of the
furniture pieces in here.
1155
00:39:41,367 --> 00:39:43,266
Like the cabinet under the TV,
1156
00:39:43,266 --> 00:39:45,166
the coffee table here
and even the sofa.
1157
00:39:45,166 --> 00:39:46,600
[Jonathan]
The cool thing, too,
1158
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,200
when you want
a little peace and quiet
in the rest of the house...
1159
00:39:49,266 --> 00:39:50,600
-fully sealed doors.
-[Jared] Yeah.
1160
00:39:50,667 --> 00:39:51,967
-Oh, yeah.
-[Jonathan] So,
1161
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,967
-it's gonna give you
some nice quiet time...
-[Helen] Wow.
1162
00:39:53,967 --> 00:39:56,200
...when the kids are yelling
and screaming in here
watching movies.
1163
00:39:56,266 --> 00:39:58,667
-Oh, I love it.
-I can have the TV nice
and loud now.
1164
00:39:58,667 --> 00:40:00,000
[Jonathan] Oh,
it's for you? Oh!
1165
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,166
All this time I thought
it was for the kids.
1166
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:04,767
[Helen] This sofa is so cool.
1167
00:40:04,767 --> 00:40:06,956
-[Jonathan] Get a seat.
-We had a red sofa for, like,
1168
00:40:06,956 --> 00:40:07,200
-[Jonathan] Get a seat.
-We had a red sofa for, like,
1169
00:40:07,266 --> 00:40:08,967
-what, how many years?
-[Jared] Twenty.
1170
00:40:08,967 --> 00:40:10,266
[Jonathan] That was
a bold choice.
1171
00:40:10,266 --> 00:40:12,266
-[Helen laughing]
-[Jonathan] What the heck?
1172
00:40:12,266 --> 00:40:15,800
Well, we tried to donate it
but, uh, they said,
"No, thank you."
1173
00:40:15,867 --> 00:40:18,500
[Jonathan] Uh, anyway,
well, this feels very
1174
00:40:18,567 --> 00:40:20,000
in keeping with the tone
1175
00:40:20,066 --> 00:40:22,200
-and aesthetic
of the home now.
-[Jared] Yeah, it's beautiful.
1176
00:40:22,266 --> 00:40:23,500
[Jonathan] Something else
that I think
1177
00:40:23,567 --> 00:40:25,667
the house really needed was
1178
00:40:25,667 --> 00:40:27,967
organization in the main area
1179
00:40:27,967 --> 00:40:30,166
where you had
all of your work stuff.
1180
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:32,667
Well, check out your new space
because this is amazing.
1181
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:34,200
-[Jonathan exhales]
-[Helen gasps]
1182
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,200
[Jared exclaims]
1183
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:36,956
Look at my workspace.
1184
00:40:36,956 --> 00:40:38,567
Look at my workspace.
1185
00:40:38,567 --> 00:40:39,900
Lots of storage.
1186
00:40:39,967 --> 00:40:41,700
[Helen] That's amazing.
1187
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:46,700
[Jared] This table, like,
standing height is
1188
00:40:46,767 --> 00:40:48,867
absolutely perfect, 'cause,
like, I take a lot of photos.
1189
00:40:48,867 --> 00:40:50,467
-I'm always kind of moving.
-[Jonathan] Right.
1190
00:40:50,467 --> 00:40:52,100
These are
all fully adjustable.
1191
00:40:52,166 --> 00:40:53,266
So, if you do have
1192
00:40:53,266 --> 00:40:55,467
larger projects
that you wanna showcase
1193
00:40:55,467 --> 00:40:57,000
every shelf
you can move them up,
1194
00:40:57,066 --> 00:40:58,467
you can move them down,
whatever you need.
1195
00:40:58,467 --> 00:41:01,500
You've got closed cabinetry
all across the bottom here.
1196
00:41:01,567 --> 00:41:03,266
The shelves to showcase.
1197
00:41:03,266 --> 00:41:05,367
Yeah, this is
such a perfect space for me.
1198
00:41:05,367 --> 00:41:06,956
Like, there's storage space
for my bits and pieces.
1199
00:41:06,956 --> 00:41:08,200
Like, there's storage space
for my bits and pieces.
1200
00:41:08,266 --> 00:41:09,600
And then
there's space on here
1201
00:41:09,667 --> 00:41:12,066
for me when I'm doing my work.
It's just perfect.
1202
00:41:12,066 --> 00:41:13,567
You have your creative outlets
1203
00:41:13,567 --> 00:41:16,400
and now we have
a little outlet for the kids
over here, too.
1204
00:41:16,467 --> 00:41:18,700
-[Helen] Aw, this is so cute.
-[Jared] Oh, beautiful,
isn't it?
1205
00:41:18,767 --> 00:41:20,100
Fireplace...
1206
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:21,467
-[gasps]
-...absolutely stunning.
1207
00:41:21,467 --> 00:41:22,867
[Helen] Yeah, wow.
1208
00:41:22,867 --> 00:41:25,867
Yeah, this is really nice.
Like, having this big mantle.
1209
00:41:25,867 --> 00:41:28,100
And I've got a spot
for my stockings to hang.
1210
00:41:28,166 --> 00:41:29,767
This is unbelievable.
1211
00:41:29,767 --> 00:41:32,200
[Jonathan] You already
have this incredible
architectural feature
1212
00:41:32,266 --> 00:41:33,767
with that mid-century brick.
1213
00:41:33,767 --> 00:41:35,066
We cleaned it up.
We painted it.
1214
00:41:35,066 --> 00:41:36,956
It's now a bright focal point.
1215
00:41:36,956 --> 00:41:37,500
It's now a bright focal point.
1216
00:41:37,567 --> 00:41:40,166
It provides a perfect amount
of separation and
1217
00:41:40,166 --> 00:41:41,400
it's still functional.
1218
00:41:41,467 --> 00:41:43,367
I know, Helen, you were okay
to get rid of this fireplace
1219
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:45,300
but Jared really
wanted to keep the character.
1220
00:41:45,367 --> 00:41:47,000
It's in an awkward position.
1221
00:41:47,066 --> 00:41:49,166
However, now, it works.
1222
00:41:49,166 --> 00:41:51,667
-Yeah, looks--
-[Drew] So, there's just
another thing for us to say.
1223
00:41:51,667 --> 00:41:53,700
[both] Jared, you're right.
1224
00:41:57,166 --> 00:41:58,867
Oh, something
I forgot to mention.
1225
00:41:58,867 --> 00:41:59,900
Your piano...
1226
00:41:59,967 --> 00:42:01,867
-[Helen] Oh, yeah.
-...was completely redone...
1227
00:42:01,867 --> 00:42:05,266
-Awesome.
-...and the artist who did
the work on it
1228
00:42:05,266 --> 00:42:06,667
did just an incredible job.
1229
00:42:06,667 --> 00:42:06,956
-[Helen] Oh, my, that's--
Yeah.
-[Jared] That's so cool.
1230
00:42:06,956 --> 00:42:08,767
-[Helen] Oh, my, that's--
Yeah.
-[Jared] That's so cool.
1231
00:42:08,767 --> 00:42:10,000
-[Drew] Isn't it amazing?
-[Helen] That's amazing.
1232
00:42:10,066 --> 00:42:12,767
And so it was donated
to Savannah High School.
1233
00:42:12,767 --> 00:42:15,100
So, the kids are loving it.
1234
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:16,467
And it gives you
more room now.
1235
00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:18,166
-Right? Yeah.
-Gives us actual space.
1236
00:42:18,166 --> 00:42:20,100
We have such a beautiful home
here for you guys,
1237
00:42:20,166 --> 00:42:21,567
we need to celebrate.
Shall we?
1238
00:42:21,567 --> 00:42:23,000
-[Jared] Definitely.
-[Jonathan] Let's do it.
1239
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,266
Wow.
1240
00:42:24,266 --> 00:42:26,100
I am blown away.
1241
00:42:26,166 --> 00:42:28,000
It's like a different world.
1242
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,900
Seeing your space, your home
being transformed into
the place that works for you
1243
00:42:31,967 --> 00:42:33,500
it's this feeling,
you can't explain it.
1244
00:42:33,567 --> 00:42:34,934
It's incredible.
1245
00:42:34,967 --> 00:42:36,956
Cheers to you guys and
your new adventures
in your new home.
1246
00:42:36,956 --> 00:42:37,400
Cheers to you guys and
your new adventures
in your new home.
1247
00:42:37,467 --> 00:42:38,867
-[Helen] Thank you.
-What do you think the kids
are gonna say
1248
00:42:38,867 --> 00:42:40,133
when they come in?
1249
00:42:40,133 --> 00:42:42,467
They're just gonna be
absolutely flabbergasted,
I think.
1250
00:42:42,467 --> 00:42:44,767
I'm pretty sure I know exactly
how the kids are gonna react.
1251
00:42:44,767 --> 00:42:47,266
[Jonathan and Drew clamoring]
1252
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,367
[Jared] Welcome home.
1253
00:42:50,367 --> 00:42:52,000
I like this.
1254
00:42:52,567 --> 00:42:54,300
Everything is new.
1255
00:42:54,367 --> 00:42:55,800
Wow!
1256
00:42:55,867 --> 00:42:57,767
[vocalizing]
