1
00:00:01,266 --> 00:00:02,867
Every forever home
has its own story
2
00:00:02,867 --> 00:00:04,467
and we can't wait
to help tell it.
3
00:00:04,467 --> 00:00:06,400
It's been in my family,
you know, for generations.
4
00:00:06,467 --> 00:00:07,700
Let me smash.
Let me smash.
5
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:09,300
-[man 1] Yeah.
-[man 2] This is the
next step.
6
00:00:09,367 --> 00:00:11,367
[woman 1]
The next chapter in my life.
7
00:00:11,367 --> 00:00:13,467
-Hyah! Whoo!
-[man 3] Love it.
8
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,300
After you.
Welcome home.
9
00:00:16,367 --> 00:00:17,967
-[woman 2] Oh, my goodness.
-[man 4] Look at this.
10
00:00:17,967 --> 00:00:20,100
-Oh, wow.
-Let's go!
11
00:00:20,166 --> 00:00:21,600
It feels like home.
12
00:00:23,767 --> 00:00:25,467
Come on for a group hug.
13
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:34,367
-[Jonathan] Gorgeous.
-[Drew] Yeah.
14
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:35,567
Beautiful day.
15
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:38,367
Drive out to Chris
and Melody's place in Burbank.
16
00:00:38,367 --> 00:00:41,066
Burbank is, it almost
has that small town charm...
17
00:00:41,066 --> 00:00:42,266
It does.
18
00:00:42,266 --> 00:00:43,667
...even though
it's a pretty massive city.
19
00:00:43,667 --> 00:00:46,066
{\an8}We met in college.
20
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:50,000
We were in Pasadena waiting
to get into a bar,
21
00:00:51,667 --> 00:00:53,767
and we had a mutual friend
who introduced us.
22
00:00:53,767 --> 00:00:54,967
Wait a sec.
23
00:00:54,967 --> 00:00:57,767
They met in line
going into a bar.
24
00:00:57,767 --> 00:00:59,467
I wonder who had more charm.
25
00:00:59,467 --> 00:01:00,000
Was she giving him eyes?
26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Was she giving him eyes?
27
00:01:01,367 --> 00:01:03,967
Was Chris trying
to play it suave?
28
00:01:03,967 --> 00:01:05,500
More suave than
when you first met Linda?
29
00:01:05,567 --> 00:01:06,667
Oh...
30
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:08,166
Your line was,
"Where did you get the water?"
31
00:01:08,166 --> 00:01:10,467
Yeah, but... but it worked.
It worked.
32
00:01:10,467 --> 00:01:11,867
We've been married...
33
00:01:13,767 --> 00:01:15,000
What's it? 2,000...
34
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,500
[laughter]
35
00:01:16,567 --> 00:01:18,000
2008.
36
00:01:18,066 --> 00:01:19,467
-2008.
-So that's 13 years.
37
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:21,300
We have
two beautiful daughters.
38
00:01:21,367 --> 00:01:24,000
Arianna, who is 12 years old.
39
00:01:24,066 --> 00:01:25,800
And Isabella, who's ten.
40
00:01:25,867 --> 00:01:28,567
Our oldest daughter, Arianna,
when she was 17 months,
41
00:01:28,567 --> 00:01:30,000
she was diagnosed
with stage one Hepatoblastoma,
42
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
she was diagnosed
with stage one Hepatoblastoma,
43
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:33,667
which is childhood
liver cancer.
44
00:01:33,667 --> 00:01:35,600
[Melody]
For any parent to hear
45
00:01:35,667 --> 00:01:38,467
that their child has cancer,
it's just something
46
00:01:38,467 --> 00:01:40,600
that no one ever wants
to go through.
47
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:43,567
With Arianna's cancer,
it was just very chaotic.
48
00:01:43,567 --> 00:01:45,800
We were living out
of a hospital pretty much
49
00:01:45,867 --> 00:01:47,367
and just renting after that,
50
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:49,100
just trying
to get our life together.
51
00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:50,533
And...
52
00:01:50,533 --> 00:01:53,367
[Chris] She's now a healthy,
happy 12-year-old little girl.
53
00:01:53,367 --> 00:01:55,667
But the chemo
that she was getting
54
00:01:55,667 --> 00:01:57,867
caused moderate hearing loss.
55
00:01:57,867 --> 00:02:00,000
So what really brought us here
to Burbank
56
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,266
So what really brought us here
to Burbank
57
00:02:00,266 --> 00:02:01,000
was that the school district
here specializes in deaf
58
00:02:03,066 --> 00:02:04,266
and hard of hearing.
59
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:05,700
[Melody]
We just love the community.
60
00:02:05,767 --> 00:02:07,567
Everybody here is like family.
61
00:02:07,567 --> 00:02:09,700
It's just a really good
neighborhood.
62
00:02:09,767 --> 00:02:12,367
When we first saw this house
and we saw a few houses
63
00:02:12,367 --> 00:02:13,767
before we looked at this one,
64
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:16,000
but with this house
we both walked in
65
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:17,500
and we just had that feeling.
66
00:02:17,567 --> 00:02:19,200
We found
our forever community,
67
00:02:19,266 --> 00:02:20,600
our forever neighborhood.
68
00:02:20,667 --> 00:02:21,867
[Melody] You know,
we are just waiting
69
00:02:21,867 --> 00:02:23,266
to kind of get to know
the house,
70
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:24,600
get a good feel of the house,
71
00:02:24,667 --> 00:02:26,367
and we're done feeling.
72
00:02:26,367 --> 00:02:27,867
We needed to get things done.
73
00:02:27,867 --> 00:02:29,367
[laughter]
74
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:35,000
-[Drew] Hey.
-Hello.
75
00:02:35,066 --> 00:02:36,066
[Melody] Hi.
76
00:02:36,066 --> 00:02:37,567
Now, this is like
a little wonderland here.
77
00:02:37,567 --> 00:02:39,100
Like you have
this beautiful garden.
78
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:40,400
Who's got the green thumb?
79
00:02:40,467 --> 00:02:41,867
Wait, let's see those thumbs.
80
00:02:41,867 --> 00:02:43,100
-No, you don't do the garden?
-Not those two.
81
00:02:43,166 --> 00:02:44,600
{\an8}No.
82
00:02:44,667 --> 00:02:45,867
{\an8}[Jonathan] So, Arianna,
I understand,
83
00:02:45,867 --> 00:02:46,967
{\an8}you know sign language.
84
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:49,100
Can you teach him
to say Drew is better looking?
85
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,767
D-R-E-W
86
00:02:56,767 --> 00:03:00,000
is better looking.
87
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,100
is better looking.
88
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:01,000
How do you say, 'no way'?
89
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:04,600
Thank you. Thank you.
90
00:03:04,667 --> 00:03:05,767
I appreciate it.
91
00:03:05,767 --> 00:03:07,300
Why don't we pop inside
and take a peek?
92
00:03:07,367 --> 00:03:08,467
[Melody] Okay.
93
00:03:08,467 --> 00:03:10,400
You guys gonna join
or are you gonna take off?
94
00:03:10,467 --> 00:03:12,266
Umm, take off.
95
00:03:12,266 --> 00:03:13,500
-Okay.
-Don't do the boring stuff.
96
00:03:13,567 --> 00:03:14,767
Not cool enough.
97
00:03:14,767 --> 00:03:16,600
All right. See you.
98
00:03:16,667 --> 00:03:17,867
All right.
99
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:20,367
[Melody]
This is the front room.
100
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:21,533
[Drew] All right.
101
00:03:21,567 --> 00:03:23,667
For how bright it is outside,
all of a sudden,
102
00:03:23,667 --> 00:03:25,166
it feels really dark in here.
103
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:27,266
That solid front door blocks
had a lot of light.
104
00:03:27,266 --> 00:03:29,667
Do you want to keep
the fireplace?
105
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:30,000
-[Melody] Yes.
-[Chris] That was our vision.
106
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
-[Melody] Yes.
-[Chris] That was our vision.
107
00:03:31,367 --> 00:03:33,166
Truth be told,
I did do a little work.
108
00:03:33,166 --> 00:03:35,900
Guys,
I'm all into the DIY stuff.
109
00:03:35,967 --> 00:03:38,367
The mantle, I did this
with my bare hands.
110
00:03:38,367 --> 00:03:40,867
I stained it, but, obviously,
I just didn't know like...
111
00:03:40,867 --> 00:03:42,567
[Drew] Whoa! Hold on.
112
00:03:43,967 --> 00:03:45,967
-Oh, so it's literally
not even...
-Hold on.
113
00:03:45,967 --> 00:03:47,500
[Jonathan] These photos
are weighing it down
114
00:03:47,567 --> 00:03:48,600
so it doesn't move.
115
00:03:48,667 --> 00:03:50,400
We haven't touched
it since it's been installed.
116
00:03:50,467 --> 00:03:52,000
Oh, my God. Okay.
117
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:53,300
-[Jonathan] Wow.
-[Drew] Okay.
118
00:03:53,367 --> 00:03:55,266
Just gonna lay this here.
119
00:03:55,266 --> 00:03:56,467
[Jonathan] Wow.
120
00:03:56,467 --> 00:03:58,967
Talk about
taking on the DIY project.
121
00:03:58,967 --> 00:04:00,000
Good try.
122
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,266
Good try.
123
00:04:00,266 --> 00:04:01,000
I mean, esthetically,
it looked nice
for that mantel,
124
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:04,066
but then it's just falling off
the wall.
125
00:04:04,066 --> 00:04:05,667
It's not the best way.
126
00:04:05,667 --> 00:04:07,700
This seems like
a bit of a forgotten space
over here.
127
00:04:07,767 --> 00:04:08,867
[Chris] It is wasted space.
128
00:04:08,867 --> 00:04:10,200
[Drew] What is it you want
in this space
129
00:04:10,266 --> 00:04:12,066
if it's not gonna be
all the toys and stuff?
130
00:04:12,066 --> 00:04:14,000
You know, it'd be nice
to have a storage area.
131
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,367
Behind you, we store
all of our stuff here.
132
00:04:16,367 --> 00:04:19,166
So this is me starting
the renovation already.
133
00:04:19,166 --> 00:04:20,667
Yes.
134
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:22,367
-[Drew] Is that your bedroom
right there?
-[Chris] That is.
135
00:04:22,367 --> 00:04:24,567
[Jonathan]
It's not ideal that it opens
into the living room?
136
00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:26,300
That's another area
137
00:04:26,367 --> 00:04:27,700
that we would like
to improve on.
138
00:04:27,767 --> 00:04:29,200
[Jonathan] So we come out
of your living room
139
00:04:29,266 --> 00:04:30,000
and into the dining room,
kitchen and bathroom area.
140
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
and into the dining room,
kitchen and bathroom area.
141
00:04:32,767 --> 00:04:35,800
So you're dining,
you're eating,
you're enjoying flush.
142
00:04:35,867 --> 00:04:38,100
-Yes.
-[Jonathan] And that's what
it's all about.
143
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,000
[Drew] This does make it feel
a little awkward,
144
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,300
especially for entertaining.
145
00:04:41,367 --> 00:04:43,266
Let's face it, nobody wants
to be eating
146
00:04:43,266 --> 00:04:44,867
while someone's using
the restroom.
147
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:46,867
This is the place that makes
the most sense
148
00:04:46,867 --> 00:04:48,700
for the bathroom because
it's between the bedrooms.
149
00:04:48,767 --> 00:04:50,567
So this is Isabella
and Arianna's room?
150
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:52,266
[Chris] Yeah.
151
00:04:52,266 --> 00:04:54,100
[Jonathan] You know,
you guys have done pretty well
at making it work,
152
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,200
but I feel like we could find
a better flow.
153
00:04:56,266 --> 00:04:58,567
I mean, this house must have
had an addition at some point.
154
00:04:58,567 --> 00:04:59,700
[Melody] It was.
155
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:00,000
When we moved in, it had
already had the family room.
156
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
When we moved in, it had
already had the family room.
157
00:05:01,867 --> 00:05:03,467
-[Melody] Yeah.
-[Chris]
That part is the addition.
158
00:05:03,467 --> 00:05:05,567
And this... this whole part
is the original house.
159
00:05:05,567 --> 00:05:08,166
[Drew] Okay.
So this originally
was an exterior wall?
160
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:09,867
[Chris] Yeah.
161
00:05:09,867 --> 00:05:11,700
[Drew] Have you thought
of what you would want
for the bedrooms here?
162
00:05:11,767 --> 00:05:14,266
Like, do you want to try
and create a hallway
or something?
163
00:05:14,266 --> 00:05:16,166
We had thought about putting
a hallway in,
164
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:17,400
but we're just not sure
how it...
165
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:20,100
how it would take away
from the area.
166
00:05:20,166 --> 00:05:21,967
You know, we have...
we have this wall here.
167
00:05:21,967 --> 00:05:24,266
We have our... our counter.
168
00:05:24,266 --> 00:05:25,867
It's tricky because,
obviously,
169
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:28,100
if you're carving out
a bunch of space like that,
170
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:29,867
you still need somewhere
for your dining table...
171
00:05:29,867 --> 00:05:30,000
-Yeah.
-...but it pushes it
all toward the kitchen.
172
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
-Yeah.
-...but it pushes it
all toward the kitchen.
173
00:05:31,567 --> 00:05:32,800
-Exactly.
-[Jonathan] And now...
174
00:05:32,867 --> 00:05:34,266
-And then you have this.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
175
00:05:34,266 --> 00:05:35,967
We were thinking maybe
we could knock this out
176
00:05:35,967 --> 00:05:38,066
and I already kind of started.
177
00:05:38,066 --> 00:05:40,600
So, see, we know
what's behind here.
178
00:05:40,667 --> 00:05:42,467
Well, what is in behind here?
Let's see.
179
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:45,667
Oh, oh, it's still
the original lath and plaster,
okay.
180
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:47,467
To give you separation
from the bathroom,
181
00:05:47,467 --> 00:05:49,600
but still keep enough space
for the dining area,
182
00:05:49,667 --> 00:05:51,700
we can build a short wall
over here.
183
00:05:51,767 --> 00:05:53,767
Banquette seating along
the newly-built wall
184
00:05:53,767 --> 00:05:55,467
and a slightly
smaller dining table
185
00:05:55,467 --> 00:05:57,166
will actually give you even
more space
186
00:05:57,166 --> 00:05:59,667
for your dining area,
not to mention privacy.
187
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:00,000
And cooking all those meals
for the people who sit here
188
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And cooking all those meals
for the people who sit here
189
00:06:03,467 --> 00:06:05,000
is all happening back here?
190
00:06:05,066 --> 00:06:07,000
-[Chris]
This is where it all happens.
-Yep! This is it.
191
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,300
Oh, which,
by the way, what is...
192
00:06:08,367 --> 00:06:09,567
what's the deal here
with this?
193
00:06:09,567 --> 00:06:11,066
[Chris] There are,
trophies that are there.
194
00:06:11,066 --> 00:06:12,867
Our vision was to call this
the champ's corner.
195
00:06:12,867 --> 00:06:14,066
[Chris] Champ's corner.
196
00:06:14,066 --> 00:06:15,567
Arianna, she's into softball.
197
00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:17,367
And Isabella,
she loves soccer.
198
00:06:17,367 --> 00:06:18,667
I like it.
199
00:06:18,667 --> 00:06:21,166
I mean, that's celebrating
the kids' successes in sports.
200
00:06:21,166 --> 00:06:24,300
And I mean, we had that, too,
from karate to basketball.
201
00:06:24,367 --> 00:06:25,967
I love showing off
my medals and trophies.
202
00:06:25,967 --> 00:06:27,767
Drew had one of his trophies
made into a necklace
203
00:06:27,767 --> 00:06:29,200
-so he could
just wear it around...
-Yeah.
204
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:30,000
...show it off a little.
205
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,367
...show it off a little.
206
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:31,000
He's jealous
because he didn't have any.
207
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:34,367
I had some.
208
00:06:34,367 --> 00:06:36,700
[Jonathan] Well,
as far as the kitchen goes,
209
00:06:36,767 --> 00:06:38,600
it's not the most functional.
210
00:06:38,667 --> 00:06:40,467
There's not
a lot of prep space.
211
00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:41,800
[Chris]
Not a lot of counter space.
212
00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:43,066
[Melody]
Yeah, it's very cramped.
213
00:06:43,066 --> 00:06:44,300
We're bumping
into each other a lot.
214
00:06:44,367 --> 00:06:47,567
Obviously, you have a big area
that's not utilized great,
215
00:06:47,567 --> 00:06:49,367
because everything's
just sort of thrown in there.
216
00:06:49,367 --> 00:06:52,100
But if you had actual
built-in storage
217
00:06:52,166 --> 00:06:54,200
on either side of that, it
would probably function
better for you.
218
00:06:54,266 --> 00:06:55,867
-[Chris] A lot better.
-[Melody] Oh, yeah,
a lot better.
219
00:06:55,867 --> 00:06:57,266
Another thing,
we want to make sure
220
00:06:57,266 --> 00:06:58,700
that we're there
with the girls.
221
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:00,000
It would be awesome
if we were to be able to be
in the kitchen,
222
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
It would be awesome
if we were to be able to be
in the kitchen,
223
00:07:01,367 --> 00:07:03,100
see into the dining room,
see into the family room.
224
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:04,266
[Melody] Yeah.
225
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,066
And it also helps out with...
with Arianna who depend...
226
00:07:07,066 --> 00:07:08,567
who's dependent
on lip reading.
227
00:07:08,567 --> 00:07:11,066
So for her to be able
to see us talking
228
00:07:11,066 --> 00:07:13,100
-and... and also hear us
is important.
-Yeah.
229
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,700
[Jonathan] So ideally,
you'd like to actually
230
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:16,467
- pull this wall back
if possible.
-[Melody] Yeah.
231
00:07:16,467 --> 00:07:17,767
-[Chris] If possible.
-[Melody] Yeah.
232
00:07:17,767 --> 00:07:19,200
[Jonathan] Okay.
233
00:07:19,266 --> 00:07:20,767
But let me just point out
one thing, though.
234
00:07:20,767 --> 00:07:22,467
On behalf of Arianna,
she's almost a teenager,
235
00:07:22,467 --> 00:07:24,767
she doesn't want you to be
able to see her all the time.
236
00:07:24,767 --> 00:07:26,266
That's exactly
what we needed.
237
00:07:26,266 --> 00:07:27,667
[Drew] Mom and dad
are always watching.
238
00:07:27,667 --> 00:07:28,967
[Chris] This is for us.
239
00:07:28,967 --> 00:07:30,000
[Melody] Yeah, for us,
that's right.
240
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,367
[Melody] Yeah, for us,
that's right.
241
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:31,000
The front living space,
242
00:07:31,767 --> 00:07:33,567
that's more of your casual
hangout place.
243
00:07:33,567 --> 00:07:36,400
I take it the big room
at the back, the family room,
that's for the girls.
244
00:07:36,467 --> 00:07:37,767
-That's where we hang out.
-[Melody] Yep.
245
00:07:37,767 --> 00:07:38,900
-[Drew] Okay.
-[Chris] All right.
246
00:07:38,967 --> 00:07:40,266
[Melody]
This is where we hang out.
247
00:07:40,266 --> 00:07:42,100
So you have a desk.
248
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:44,500
Is that the time-out chair?
249
00:07:44,567 --> 00:07:45,867
Who works where and...
250
00:07:45,867 --> 00:07:47,567
[Melody]
This is Chris's little
desk space.
251
00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:49,367
[Chris] And ideally, I'd like
to get out of that
252
00:07:49,367 --> 00:07:50,867
because the girls are
getting to that age
253
00:07:50,867 --> 00:07:52,900
where they need
their own space.
254
00:07:52,967 --> 00:07:54,867
So are you thinking
you want a flex space
255
00:07:54,867 --> 00:07:56,367
for an office or what...
what's a priority?
256
00:07:56,367 --> 00:07:57,667
Yeah.
257
00:07:57,667 --> 00:07:59,867
Yeah, I would like to get out
of there and just have like,
258
00:07:59,867 --> 00:08:00,000
a nook for myself,
for... just for work,
259
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
a nook for myself,
for... just for work,
260
00:08:02,967 --> 00:08:04,600
-because I do work from home.
-[Jonathan] Okay.
261
00:08:04,667 --> 00:08:06,166
I assume this is
the family cuddle zone.
262
00:08:06,166 --> 00:08:07,367
Yes.
263
00:08:07,367 --> 00:08:09,100
This is where we end up
at the end of the night.
264
00:08:09,166 --> 00:08:11,300
Challenge here is,
it's a bit of a narrow room,
265
00:08:11,367 --> 00:08:13,266
-but it's a very long room.
-[Chris] Yeah.
266
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:14,900
[Jonathan] We don't need
to take down walls
267
00:08:14,967 --> 00:08:16,166
to make this work
better for you.
268
00:08:16,166 --> 00:08:18,300
New wood floors,
a fresh coat of paint,
269
00:08:18,367 --> 00:08:20,000
more modern furniture
and a better layout
270
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,867
would make a world
of difference in here.
271
00:08:21,867 --> 00:08:24,266
Do you want to level out
the floor here,
272
00:08:24,266 --> 00:08:25,433
so it's all one level?
273
00:08:25,433 --> 00:08:27,300
[Chris] The step down doesn't
really bother me.
274
00:08:27,367 --> 00:08:28,967
[Jonathan] Okay.
275
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:30,000
Are you kind
of on the same page with style
276
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,567
Are you kind
of on the same page with style
277
00:08:30,567 --> 00:08:31,000
and design or what...
278
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,266
What would you say
your style is?
279
00:08:33,266 --> 00:08:34,767
-We are. We are.
-[Chris] Yeah. We're, yeah.
280
00:08:34,767 --> 00:08:36,000
We kind of like...
281
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,567
We kind of like, like,
alien, eclectic type.
282
00:08:37,567 --> 00:08:39,166
-Did you say alien?
-[Melody] No, I'm kidding.
283
00:08:39,166 --> 00:08:40,867
-Alien eclectic.
-[Melody] That was supposed
to throw him off.
284
00:08:40,867 --> 00:08:42,166
[Chris] I know,
I was like, "What?"
285
00:08:42,166 --> 00:08:43,667
This is not what we
talked about.
286
00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:46,800
-[Jonathan] That is the first.
-Wait, wait what? No, no.
287
00:08:46,867 --> 00:08:48,467
We kind...
we like, like farmhouse.
288
00:08:48,467 --> 00:08:49,767
[Chris] Farmhouse, modern.
289
00:08:49,767 --> 00:08:52,266
That's nice for families.
Warm and inviting and...
290
00:08:52,266 --> 00:08:53,800
[Melody] Yeah. Yeah.
Exactly warm.
291
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,567
So for budget,
have you discussed that?
292
00:08:56,567 --> 00:08:58,367
Is that something
you agree on as well?
293
00:08:58,367 --> 00:08:59,467
-We have, yeah. Yeah.
-Yes.
294
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:00,000
And we're looking at
190,000 being our... our max.
295
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
And we're looking at
190,000 being our... our max.
296
00:09:02,467 --> 00:09:03,667
[Drew] Okay. Okay.
297
00:09:03,667 --> 00:09:05,300
That's a great budget
for the living room,
298
00:09:05,367 --> 00:09:07,400
dining, kitchen
and this family room.
299
00:09:07,467 --> 00:09:08,667
We'll be able to do
a lot with that.
300
00:09:08,667 --> 00:09:10,400
But keep in mind, if you want
to open everything up,
301
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:11,800
-that can get
really expensive.
-Yeah.
302
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:13,333
-[Melody] Okay. Okay.
-[Chris] Okay.
303
00:09:13,333 --> 00:09:15,567
So keep it under 190,
we'll make sure
that we jump in right away.
304
00:09:15,567 --> 00:09:17,166
If you guys are good
to roll up the sleeves,
305
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:19,000
we'll do some demo
and we'll figure out
306
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,266
-some options and get going.
-I've been ready.
307
00:09:21,266 --> 00:09:22,667
[Drew]
Oh, yeah, I can see it.
308
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:24,667
You were asking us
if we were ready.
309
00:09:24,667 --> 00:09:26,200
-[Melody] Yeah.
-She's been ready for years.
310
00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:27,867
You can tell
by the holes and...
311
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:30,000
I want to get that farmhouse
feel inspiration for you.
312
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,867
I want to get that farmhouse
feel inspiration for you.
313
00:09:30,867 --> 00:09:31,000
I will take you to look
at a place for inspiration.
314
00:09:33,367 --> 00:09:35,200
I think it's really cool
that you're on the same page,
315
00:09:35,266 --> 00:09:36,400
because not
a lot of couples are.
316
00:09:36,467 --> 00:09:37,734
-Yeah.
-[Drew] All right.
317
00:09:37,734 --> 00:09:39,667
Or at least at this point,
you say you're on
the same page.
318
00:09:39,667 --> 00:09:40,900
We'll see.
319
00:09:40,967 --> 00:09:42,100
We're so ready. Yeah.
320
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:43,367
We are so ready
for this renovation.
321
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:44,800
We are so ready. Yeah.
I mean...
322
00:09:44,867 --> 00:09:46,066
It's gonna be life-changing.
323
00:09:46,066 --> 00:09:47,867
But we have so many memories
in this house.
324
00:09:47,867 --> 00:09:49,000
We built so many memories.
325
00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:50,166
We just need to make
326
00:09:50,166 --> 00:09:51,800
the... the house
a little more functional.
327
00:09:51,867 --> 00:09:53,700
We want to feel like
it's our home.
328
00:09:53,767 --> 00:09:55,400
Like, we had some say
329
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:58,000
onto the...
the flow of the home.
330
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,266
Exactly.
331
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:10,000
I'm very excited
for multiple reasons.
332
00:10:10,066 --> 00:10:11,700
One,
to smash out your mantle
333
00:10:11,767 --> 00:10:14,000
that already is about
to fall off the wall.
334
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,867
But also just to show you guys
the potential
335
00:10:15,867 --> 00:10:17,467
that you do have
in this space.
336
00:10:17,467 --> 00:10:18,667
-We can't wait.
-Can't wait.
337
00:10:18,667 --> 00:10:20,900
Can't wait. It's exciting.
338
00:10:20,967 --> 00:10:23,867
Today, though, I want to pull
those kitchen cabinets out.
339
00:10:23,867 --> 00:10:25,900
And if we have time,
I want to punch a hole
340
00:10:25,967 --> 00:10:28,767
from the kitchen through
into that living room area.
341
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:30,000
-Let's do it. Let's do it.
-Do it.
342
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
-Let's do it. Let's do it.
-Do it.
343
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,700
I feel like I could have said
anything right now.
344
00:10:32,767 --> 00:10:34,500
You'd be like, "Yes!
Let's do it."
345
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:36,800
-I'm ready!
-[laughter]
346
00:10:36,867 --> 00:10:38,867
All right. Finger test.
Is this safe?
347
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:40,266
Let's see how safe it was.
348
00:10:40,266 --> 00:10:41,767
-Yeah.
-Oh, my...
349
00:10:43,867 --> 00:10:45,000
Not good.
350
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,767
Sure, there was a few things
I could've maybe
351
00:10:47,767 --> 00:10:49,567
did, like, a bit better,
but...
352
00:10:49,567 --> 00:10:52,166
And we just didn't put
the mantle on there quite,
you know...
353
00:10:52,166 --> 00:10:53,667
But that's
how you don't walk into...
354
00:10:53,667 --> 00:10:55,567
-...flush to the wall.
-...someone's house
and touch things.
355
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:56,867
You're not supposed
to touch things.
356
00:10:56,867 --> 00:10:59,066
Just look. Just look
and appreciate things.
357
00:11:00,266 --> 00:11:01,000
Well, this is...
358
00:11:01,767 --> 00:11:03,467
Oh, my gosh.
359
00:11:03,467 --> 00:11:06,300
I'm gonna... I'm going to use
this now to demo the kitchen.
360
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,867
-How did you do that?
-[Melody] Yes.
361
00:11:11,867 --> 00:11:14,300
-[Chris] Dang.
-I work out.
362
00:11:14,367 --> 00:11:16,300
[Chris]
Tearing down those cabinets,
that was pretty cool.
363
00:11:16,367 --> 00:11:17,467
Yeah. That was awesome.
364
00:11:17,467 --> 00:11:18,867
A little, a little harder
than I thought.
365
00:11:18,867 --> 00:11:21,166
Jonathan just comes
and takes it down with one...
366
00:11:21,166 --> 00:11:23,100
Like nothing.
Like nothing... With a finger.
367
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:24,100
Yeah.
368
00:11:24,166 --> 00:11:25,400
Just like he did
with my mantle.
369
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:27,100
I got it started,
he just finished it up.
370
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:33,000
[Melody] Yeah.
371
00:11:35,667 --> 00:11:38,000
-Did you just give it a...
-[Melody] I did. I did.
372
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,667
-I kicked it.
-It deserved it.
373
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,100
So what was the reason
for this?
374
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:47,700
-Just a burst of like, "Help!"
-[Melody] Yes.
375
00:11:47,767 --> 00:11:49,867
I wanted to see
what was behind the wall.
376
00:11:49,867 --> 00:11:52,300
And then when I saw,
I stopped.
377
00:11:52,367 --> 00:11:54,266
-This does feel awkward.
-[Chris] Yeah.
378
00:11:54,266 --> 00:11:57,100
I'd like to see this
opened up, but I'd...
379
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,700
I'd like to make sure we have
at least one option
380
00:11:59,767 --> 00:12:00,000
where we put enough
of the budget
381
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
where we put enough
of the budget
382
00:12:01,667 --> 00:12:03,467
toward the structural work
needed
383
00:12:03,467 --> 00:12:05,000
-to get
rid of this completely.
-[Melody] Yes.
384
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,467
There's most likely
a load coming across here,
385
00:12:07,467 --> 00:12:10,066
so there's probably
a post right in here.
386
00:12:10,066 --> 00:12:13,367
This also might be
a load bearing wall,
387
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:15,500
so we'll have to check all
that out when we open it up.
388
00:12:15,567 --> 00:12:16,667
[Melody] Okay. Clear?
389
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:18,166
-Yeah. Don't hit...
-All clear?
390
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,767
No, no, no.
This isn't right.
391
00:12:22,767 --> 00:12:24,066
-This is right.
-[Jonathan] Oh, yeah.
392
00:12:24,066 --> 00:12:25,567
It was the hammer
that was the problem.
393
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,200
This is a lot harder.
394
00:12:34,266 --> 00:12:36,800
Yeah.
Give me this hammer.
395
00:12:36,867 --> 00:12:40,700
I think... I think
the overexertion
has gone to your head.
396
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:48,166
My gosh.
397
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:50,467
Talk about overbuilt.
398
00:12:50,467 --> 00:12:51,867
This could be
a bit of an issue.
399
00:12:51,867 --> 00:12:55,367
So you have a cluster
of studs here.
400
00:12:55,367 --> 00:12:56,967
You have a cluster
of studs here.
401
00:12:56,967 --> 00:12:58,800
That means that
this is a load bearing wall
402
00:12:58,867 --> 00:13:00,000
and there's a point load
coming down right here.
403
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
and there's a point load
coming down right here.
404
00:13:01,567 --> 00:13:03,266
Quite a bit of weight here.
405
00:13:03,266 --> 00:13:05,000
So we're dealing
with structure
406
00:13:05,066 --> 00:13:07,367
in two directions.
That can be complicated.
407
00:13:07,367 --> 00:13:09,467
There's going to be
a good chunk of the budget
408
00:13:09,467 --> 00:13:11,266
that has to go
toward structure.
409
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:12,400
Okay.
410
00:13:12,467 --> 00:13:13,867
The more we want to open it,
411
00:13:13,867 --> 00:13:15,367
the more
that's gonna eat that up.
412
00:13:15,367 --> 00:13:17,400
We are gonna strip
all of this back
413
00:13:17,467 --> 00:13:18,967
and then have
the engineer come in
414
00:13:18,967 --> 00:13:21,266
and look at the post,
look at the beams,
415
00:13:21,266 --> 00:13:23,767
look at everything
to see what we can do.
416
00:13:23,767 --> 00:13:28,467
At this point, I'm not 100%
on what our options can be.
417
00:13:28,467 --> 00:13:29,867
I'm still trying
to figure that out.
418
00:13:29,867 --> 00:13:30,000
My engineer has to give me
a lot of information
419
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
My engineer has to give me
a lot of information
420
00:13:32,266 --> 00:13:34,767
about what we can and can't do
and what the cost would be.
421
00:13:34,767 --> 00:13:37,266
But at least I know
a few things
422
00:13:37,266 --> 00:13:39,100
that I can keep pushing ahead,
423
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:41,500
so we can get to the point
where I can get options.
424
00:13:41,567 --> 00:13:45,100
We might have to add
two more walls in this area.
425
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:46,266
What?
426
00:13:46,266 --> 00:13:47,467
What do you mean,
two more walls?
427
00:13:47,467 --> 00:13:48,967
-I'm totally messing with you.
-[laughter]
428
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:51,400
What?
429
00:13:51,467 --> 00:13:52,767
That is not
the vision I thought.
430
00:13:58,266 --> 00:14:00,166
[Jonathan] My crew is at Chris
and Melody's house
431
00:14:00,166 --> 00:14:01,600
tearing back the layers to see
432
00:14:01,667 --> 00:14:03,767
what's load bearing
and what's not.
433
00:14:03,767 --> 00:14:05,600
We're still trying
to figure out our options,
434
00:14:05,667 --> 00:14:07,667
but no matter what we do,
the kitchen,
435
00:14:07,667 --> 00:14:09,900
dining and living room
and family room
436
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:12,367
need to be opened up
as much as possible.
437
00:14:12,367 --> 00:14:14,266
The main bedroom entrance
into the living room
438
00:14:14,266 --> 00:14:16,467
needs to be relocated
to get this house functioning
439
00:14:16,467 --> 00:14:18,367
a lot better for them.
440
00:14:18,367 --> 00:14:19,900
To do it,
we'll have to sacrifice
441
00:14:19,967 --> 00:14:21,567
one of their
two bedroom closets,
442
00:14:21,567 --> 00:14:23,367
but the layout change
will be well worth it.
443
00:14:32,467 --> 00:14:33,867
All right.
You're excited?
444
00:14:33,867 --> 00:14:35,166
-Super excited.
-Really excited.
445
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:36,500
What are you hoping to see?
446
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:38,266
{\an8}[Melody] Let me just tell you,
I'm not afraid of color.
447
00:14:38,266 --> 00:14:41,200
{\an8}She's a little more bold.
I'm... I'm a little more
basic modern.
448
00:14:41,266 --> 00:14:43,700
Melody and Chris described
their style as farmhouse
449
00:14:43,767 --> 00:14:44,967
with a modern twist.
450
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:46,066
Well, I'm not exactly
taking them
451
00:14:46,066 --> 00:14:47,600
to a farmhouse
for inspiration,
452
00:14:47,667 --> 00:14:49,367
but this place does have
a modern touch
453
00:14:49,367 --> 00:14:50,767
and there are
some great rustic elements.
454
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:53,867
Oh, wow. You have to see this.
Look at this.
455
00:14:53,867 --> 00:14:55,166
-[Chris] Wow.
-[Melody] Oh, my gosh.
456
00:14:55,166 --> 00:14:55,835
-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Melody] This is beautiful.
457
00:14:55,835 --> 00:14:56,000
-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Melody] This is beautiful.
458
00:14:56,667 --> 00:14:58,266
-[Drew] What do you think?
-[Chris] Really nice.
459
00:14:58,266 --> 00:14:59,767
And I...
I really like this bench.
460
00:14:59,767 --> 00:15:02,100
{\an8}You know, it has a nice,
rustic farmhouse style.
461
00:15:02,166 --> 00:15:03,400
But the one thing
that I like
462
00:15:03,467 --> 00:15:04,800
is that you have
a lot of options here.
463
00:15:04,867 --> 00:15:06,467
Look at all the different wood
tones throughout.
464
00:15:06,467 --> 00:15:08,667
You have that more
reddish tone in these floors,
465
00:15:08,667 --> 00:15:11,800
this whitewash
on the center table,
a blond over here.
466
00:15:11,867 --> 00:15:13,400
{\an8}That's what I like
for the floors. That color.
467
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:15,100
{\an8}-[Chris]
I agree with that, yeah.
-[Melody] Yeah.
468
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:16,500
[Chris] I like that.
469
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,400
It's, you know,
it's farmhouse modern
with the whitewash.
470
00:15:18,467 --> 00:15:19,967
-Yeah, I like that better.
-[Melody] Yeah.
471
00:15:19,967 --> 00:15:21,100
[Drew] Okay. Good to know.
472
00:15:21,166 --> 00:15:22,767
I mean, what do you think
about the fireplace?
473
00:15:22,767 --> 00:15:25,835
I really like it,
but I feel like it's missing
my mantel on there.
474
00:15:25,835 --> 00:15:26,000
I really like it,
but I feel like it's missing
my mantel on there.
475
00:15:26,166 --> 00:15:27,400
{\an8}[Drew] Right.
476
00:15:27,467 --> 00:15:28,800
{\an8}Well, but that wouldn't be
up here.
477
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:30,467
That would be laying
on the ground, right?
478
00:15:30,467 --> 00:15:32,900
I feel that if we maybe
just clean up what you have
479
00:15:32,967 --> 00:15:35,467
and get a new mantel,
maybe that is a better spend
480
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:36,667
and save
the rest of that money
481
00:15:36,667 --> 00:15:37,767
for other areas
of the design.
482
00:15:37,767 --> 00:15:39,166
-[Chris] I agree. Yeah.
-[Melody] I agree.
483
00:15:39,166 --> 00:15:41,467
[Drew] I want to take you
to the back.
All right.
484
00:15:41,467 --> 00:15:42,967
What do you think
of the dining area?
485
00:15:42,967 --> 00:15:44,667
-[Melody] Ooh, this is nice.
-[Chris] Oh, yeah.
486
00:15:44,667 --> 00:15:47,000
[Drew]
This does have a farmhouse
sort of feel to the table.
487
00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:48,867
-Yeah, I do like this.
-Yeah.
488
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,300
Chairs are very plastic,
contemporary looking.
489
00:15:53,367 --> 00:15:55,200
-They're just not my style.
-[Drew] Yeah.
490
00:15:55,266 --> 00:15:55,835
So natural elements.
No plastic.
491
00:15:55,835 --> 00:15:56,000
So natural elements.
No plastic.
492
00:15:57,367 --> 00:15:58,867
Come on in the kitchen.
493
00:15:58,867 --> 00:16:01,166
So you can see
this is not a massive kitchen,
494
00:16:01,166 --> 00:16:02,567
but it feels big.
495
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:04,300
It feels nice and open
with the way it's laid out.
496
00:16:04,367 --> 00:16:05,500
-[Melody] Yeah.
-[Chris] Yeah.
497
00:16:05,567 --> 00:16:07,767
I really love
the... the openness,
498
00:16:07,767 --> 00:16:10,100
{\an8}having the sight lines
into the family room.
499
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,900
{\an8}Obviously,
that's very important to us.
500
00:16:11,967 --> 00:16:13,367
[Melody] Yeah.
I love all this wood.
501
00:16:13,367 --> 00:16:14,567
Look at the cabinet color too.
502
00:16:14,567 --> 00:16:16,000
{\an8}[Chris]
And the counter space.
503
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,367
{\an8}I mean, they have
counter space to do
a lot of things.
504
00:16:17,367 --> 00:16:18,500
{\an8}[Melody] Yes.
It's so beautiful.
505
00:16:18,567 --> 00:16:20,100
[Chris] It's something
we don't have right now.
506
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:21,700
You're already saying
you love the cabinet color?
507
00:16:21,767 --> 00:16:23,200
{\an8}-[Melody] Yeah.
-[Drew] Do you love the style?
508
00:16:23,266 --> 00:16:25,200
{\an8}[Chris] Shaker style
with the white, I like that.
509
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:25,835
If you're wanting
that lighter tone
510
00:16:25,835 --> 00:16:26,000
If you're wanting
that lighter tone
511
00:16:26,667 --> 00:16:28,367
for the hardwood
to come all the way through,
512
00:16:28,367 --> 00:16:29,767
we want to consider
what we have
513
00:16:29,767 --> 00:16:31,867
for the countertop color
and the backsplash.
514
00:16:31,867 --> 00:16:33,000
Okay.
515
00:16:33,066 --> 00:16:35,266
Um, you know, actually,
going all the way through,
516
00:16:35,266 --> 00:16:38,367
I... ideally, I would love
to have tile
517
00:16:38,367 --> 00:16:41,700
maybe like a checkered tile,
something cool in the kitchen.
518
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:43,300
{\an8}Oh, she is looking
for statements.
519
00:16:43,367 --> 00:16:44,767
-Yeah. She is, yeah. Yeah.
-Yeah. Yeah.
520
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:46,400
Your kitchen is this
little niche off to the side.
521
00:16:46,467 --> 00:16:47,800
{\an8}So it is its own little space.
522
00:16:47,867 --> 00:16:49,467
{\an8}No problem terminating
the hardwood
523
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:50,900
-before we come
into the kitchen.
-Right.
524
00:16:50,967 --> 00:16:52,700
I really like
that checkered pattern style.
525
00:16:52,767 --> 00:16:53,867
-That's cool.
-Yeah.
526
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:55,567
[Drew] And it will look great
with the cabinets.
527
00:16:55,567 --> 00:16:55,835
Countertops, this is quartz.
528
00:16:55,835 --> 00:16:56,000
Countertops, this is quartz.
529
00:16:57,467 --> 00:16:59,400
But what do you...
what do you think color wise?
530
00:16:59,467 --> 00:17:02,100
{\an8}[Chris] I like the... the gray
or a lighter shade of gray.
531
00:17:02,166 --> 00:17:04,967
{\an8}[Melody] Yeah, like
a warmer shade...
shade of gray.
532
00:17:04,967 --> 00:17:06,133
{\an8}[Chris] Yeah. Okay.
533
00:17:06,166 --> 00:17:07,900
And we can have
a farmhouse sink
if you like, too.
534
00:17:07,967 --> 00:17:09,100
-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Melody] Oh, yes.
535
00:17:09,166 --> 00:17:10,300
{\an8}-The white...
-I would love that.
536
00:17:10,367 --> 00:17:11,967
...with the farmhouse sink,
yeah, that's what we love.
537
00:17:11,967 --> 00:17:13,567
What do you think
for the backsplash pattern?
538
00:17:13,567 --> 00:17:15,100
-See, I like the backsplash.
-[Melody] Yeah.
539
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:16,600
{\an8}[Chris] You know,
it's kind of like the...
540
00:17:16,667 --> 00:17:18,100
{\an8}the white with the little...
541
00:17:18,166 --> 00:17:19,400
I don't know
what that's called.
542
00:17:19,467 --> 00:17:20,767
Yeah, looks like a bunch
of little fish
543
00:17:20,767 --> 00:17:22,266
going to party or something.
544
00:17:22,266 --> 00:17:24,066
This is gonna be
a pretty styling house.
545
00:17:24,066 --> 00:17:25,835
-He's feeling it.
I love it. I love it.
-I love it.
546
00:17:25,835 --> 00:17:26,000
-He's feeling it.
I love it. I love it.
-I love it.
547
00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:28,200
Ah, now I know
what modern farmhouse
548
00:17:28,266 --> 00:17:29,467
means to Melody and Chris.
549
00:17:29,467 --> 00:17:30,967
And I also know
that Jonathan and I
550
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:33,100
can put together
some great design ideas
551
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,467
and layout options
to make their
house look awesome.
552
00:17:35,467 --> 00:17:37,567
Also make it functional
and better for their family.
553
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,367
This to me is the backdrop
for a modern farmhouse.
554
00:17:46,367 --> 00:17:47,867
[Drew] Yeah.
555
00:17:47,867 --> 00:17:49,967
I want to talk about
a couple of things
that I thought would be cool.
556
00:17:49,967 --> 00:17:52,266
{\an8}In that front entry coming in,
cleaning it up,
557
00:17:52,266 --> 00:17:54,800
{\an8}getting rid
of the bedroom door
that's facing that front room,
558
00:17:54,867 --> 00:17:55,835
{\an8}shifting it around the corner
559
00:17:55,835 --> 00:17:56,000
{\an8}shifting it around the corner
560
00:17:56,066 --> 00:17:57,367
so that it opens
into the hallway.
561
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:58,867
I still want somewhere
that's functional
562
00:17:58,867 --> 00:18:01,166
for hanging jackets and bags
and things like that.
563
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:02,300
Yeah.
564
00:18:02,367 --> 00:18:03,667
Remember the game
where you had to put
565
00:18:03,667 --> 00:18:08,066
the little round peg
in the little round hole
566
00:18:08,066 --> 00:18:09,500
and you couldn't seem
to figure out
567
00:18:09,567 --> 00:18:12,200
why the little square peg
wouldn't go in the round hole.
568
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:13,867
What if we do some kind of
569
00:18:13,867 --> 00:18:15,500
almost like
a peg board feature,
570
00:18:15,567 --> 00:18:17,100
so that it's interesting,
it's cool,
571
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:18,500
it blends in, but...
I don't know.
572
00:18:18,567 --> 00:18:20,166
[Drew] So you mean,
for, like, the front... coats,
573
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,967
-like, hanging all the coats?
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
574
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:23,867
It doesn't have
to look exactly like that,
but I think...
575
00:18:23,867 --> 00:18:25,200
Jeez.
576
00:18:25,266 --> 00:18:25,835
-Well, so much for that peg.
-[Drew] Yeah.
577
00:18:25,835 --> 00:18:26,000
-Well, so much for that peg.
-[Drew] Yeah.
578
00:18:26,667 --> 00:18:28,500
[Jonathan] We'll get that one
from the pool later.
579
00:18:28,567 --> 00:18:29,867
So Melody had mentioned,
580
00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:31,867
they do not want hardwood
in the kitchen,
they want tile.
581
00:18:31,867 --> 00:18:33,166
[Drew] Yes.
582
00:18:33,166 --> 00:18:35,100
[Jonathan]
Are they wanting to go
a little bit more rustic?
583
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:37,500
[Drew] Melody was clear
that she wants checkered
kitchen floor tiles.
584
00:18:37,567 --> 00:18:39,867
So I'm thinking we do them
in gray and white
585
00:18:39,867 --> 00:18:41,166
and I prefer the squares.
586
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,433
[Jonathan]
For the cabinet color?
587
00:18:42,433 --> 00:18:45,000
The main thing
for them is they don't...
they like light,
588
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,867
because their kitchen
has been so tiny,
589
00:18:46,867 --> 00:18:49,166
unfunctional and dark
for so long.
590
00:18:49,166 --> 00:18:50,767
So if we wanted to do,
591
00:18:50,767 --> 00:18:52,567
you know, a two-tone
with the uppers and lowers,
592
00:18:52,567 --> 00:18:53,800
or we can just go white
593
00:18:53,867 --> 00:18:55,835
and then find other ways
to pop up some interest.
594
00:18:55,835 --> 00:18:55,967
and then find other ways
to pop up some interest.
595
00:18:55,967 --> 00:18:56,000
[Jonathan] I would go white.
596
00:18:57,266 --> 00:18:59,867
White will help keep
the light bouncing around.
597
00:18:59,867 --> 00:19:01,867
If they do want a little bit
of that rustic farmhouse,
598
00:19:01,867 --> 00:19:03,767
I think it does look nicer
to go black,
599
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:05,567
so you can do black knobs
and pulls
600
00:19:05,567 --> 00:19:07,667
that'll look nice
on the cabinets.
601
00:19:07,667 --> 00:19:08,900
[Drew] For the backsplash,
602
00:19:08,967 --> 00:19:11,400
let's do a tile
that can match
603
00:19:11,467 --> 00:19:12,900
the color tones,
but it's just different.
604
00:19:12,967 --> 00:19:14,166
[Jonathan] Yeah.
This would be nice.
605
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:16,967
I vote that I'll wrap this up
and you can try and fish
606
00:19:16,967 --> 00:19:18,467
that peg out of the pool.
607
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,467
[Jonathan] Here.
608
00:19:24,367 --> 00:19:25,835
[Drew] Oh, perfect.
609
00:19:25,835 --> 00:19:26,000
[Drew] Oh, perfect.
610
00:19:26,066 --> 00:19:27,667
Oh, my gosh.
My... my good catching.
611
00:19:33,567 --> 00:19:36,467
[Jonathan]
You're gonna start to see
that there's no going back.
612
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:39,400
Oh, my gosh.
613
00:19:39,467 --> 00:19:40,634
[Jonathan]
And this is nothing.
614
00:19:40,634 --> 00:19:42,400
I want you to take a peek
at what's around this corner.
615
00:19:42,467 --> 00:19:43,867
-Okay?
-[Chris] Let's do this.
616
00:19:43,867 --> 00:19:45,867
-Oh, my God.
-[Chris] Oh, wow.
617
00:19:45,867 --> 00:19:47,433
[Melody] Oh, my goodness.
618
00:19:47,433 --> 00:19:49,266
[Jonathan] This is what
the inside of your house
looks like.
619
00:19:49,266 --> 00:19:52,000
-Actually, it looks better.
-Yeah. Okay.
620
00:19:52,066 --> 00:19:53,867
So do you want to know
the good news
621
00:19:53,867 --> 00:19:55,000
or the bad news right now?
622
00:19:55,066 --> 00:19:55,835
-[Melody] Oh!
-Give us the bad news first.
623
00:19:55,835 --> 00:19:56,000
-[Melody] Oh!
-Give us the bad news first.
624
00:19:57,166 --> 00:19:58,600
What a pessimist.
625
00:19:58,667 --> 00:19:59,967
Yeah, yeah.
Give us the bad news first.
626
00:19:59,967 --> 00:20:01,066
[Jonathan] Okay.
627
00:20:01,066 --> 00:20:02,967
Bad news is, as you know,
628
00:20:02,967 --> 00:20:04,900
this originally
was an exterior wall,
629
00:20:04,967 --> 00:20:07,000
so there was probably a slider
or something right here.
630
00:20:07,066 --> 00:20:09,667
This is the header over top
of the slider.
631
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:12,066
And so
someone wanted more space.
632
00:20:12,066 --> 00:20:13,166
They wanted more light.
633
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:15,000
You can see that
it's sagging a little bit.
634
00:20:15,066 --> 00:20:17,767
All of this roof structure,
all of these ceiling joists,
635
00:20:17,767 --> 00:20:19,567
all rest on that right there.
636
00:20:19,567 --> 00:20:21,000
-Oh, my gosh.
-[Chris] Wow.
637
00:20:21,066 --> 00:20:22,867
So that is not how you do it.
638
00:20:22,867 --> 00:20:25,835
One really big earthquake
and you can see some
639
00:20:25,835 --> 00:20:26,000
One really big earthquake
and you can see some
640
00:20:26,166 --> 00:20:27,467
-real problems happen.
-Oh, my goodness.
641
00:20:30,367 --> 00:20:31,800
[Jonathan]
All of this roof structure,
642
00:20:31,867 --> 00:20:34,000
all of these ceiling joists,
all rest on that right there.
643
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:35,233
-Oh, my gosh.
-[Chris] Wow.
644
00:20:35,266 --> 00:20:37,467
[Jonathan] So it's still safe
for us to be in the house,
645
00:20:37,467 --> 00:20:39,300
but that is not how you do it.
646
00:20:39,367 --> 00:20:41,100
-The good news is...
-Yes.
647
00:20:41,166 --> 00:20:43,266
-Bring it on. Bring it on.
Good news.
-Yes.
648
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:45,600
We can do whatever we want.
649
00:20:45,667 --> 00:20:47,100
If we want
to open it up completely,
650
00:20:47,166 --> 00:20:48,867
if we want to open it up
partway,
651
00:20:48,867 --> 00:20:50,266
obviously, the beam work,
652
00:20:50,266 --> 00:20:51,400
the more we do
costs more money.
653
00:20:51,467 --> 00:20:52,567
[Chris] Right.
654
00:20:52,567 --> 00:20:55,467
So we should probably
jump into the options.
655
00:20:55,467 --> 00:20:56,567
-Yeah. Okay.
-Okay.
656
00:20:56,567 --> 00:20:57,700
[Jonathan] Option one
657
00:20:57,767 --> 00:20:59,019
would completely open
all of this up.
658
00:20:59,019 --> 00:20:59,567
would completely open
all of this up.
659
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:00,000
You wouldn't have
any posts, any walls.
660
00:21:01,967 --> 00:21:03,667
You'd have
a flush straight ceiling,
661
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:04,967
and you'd be able to see clear
662
00:21:04,967 --> 00:21:06,700
from your kitchen
into the family room.
663
00:21:06,767 --> 00:21:08,066
[Melody] Oh, that is awesome.
664
00:21:08,066 --> 00:21:09,767
[Jonathan] You'll get
your checkerboard tiles,
665
00:21:09,767 --> 00:21:11,266
beautiful light gray counters.
666
00:21:11,266 --> 00:21:13,567
And with the walls gone,
you'll have room for an island
667
00:21:13,567 --> 00:21:16,166
with breakfast bar seating
so the whole family can enjoy
668
00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:18,266
the kitchen together
without feeling crowded.
669
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:19,667
-[Melody] Wow.
-[Chris] Wow.
670
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:21,600
[Jonathan] The family room is
where you spend the most time.
671
00:21:21,667 --> 00:21:23,066
I'll add hardwood floors,
672
00:21:23,066 --> 00:21:25,767
a comfy sofa
and a big coffee table.
673
00:21:25,767 --> 00:21:27,467
I'll mount the TV up
on the wall
674
00:21:27,467 --> 00:21:28,900
above a beautiful
media cabinet
675
00:21:28,967 --> 00:21:29,019
that you can use for storage.
676
00:21:29,019 --> 00:21:30,000
that you can use for storage.
677
00:21:30,367 --> 00:21:32,100
I'll do a soft white
color palette
678
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,700
with pops of color
to really up
679
00:21:33,767 --> 00:21:35,367
your family room experience.
680
00:21:35,367 --> 00:21:37,667
For the living room,
I'll relocate
the bedroom door,
681
00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:39,600
shifting it into the hallway
around the corner,
682
00:21:39,667 --> 00:21:42,500
so you can utilize
the entire wall for storage.
683
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:44,467
I'll replace
the dated laminate floors
684
00:21:44,467 --> 00:21:47,066
with mid tone hardwood
and give you a new front door
685
00:21:47,066 --> 00:21:49,000
with windows
for added natural light.
686
00:21:49,066 --> 00:21:50,800
The fireplace gets
a coat of paint
687
00:21:50,867 --> 00:21:53,266
and a new mantel
that stays on the wall.
688
00:21:53,266 --> 00:21:54,900
And Chris,
I'll move your home office
689
00:21:54,967 --> 00:21:56,200
out of the family room
690
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,967
and make you
a nice office space
in the living room.
691
00:21:57,967 --> 00:21:59,019
Sounds exciting. Yeah.
692
00:21:59,019 --> 00:21:59,367
Sounds exciting. Yeah.
693
00:21:59,367 --> 00:22:00,000
It would honestly be a dream.
694
00:22:01,567 --> 00:22:02,767
It sounds beautiful.
695
00:22:02,767 --> 00:22:04,100
I mean, it gives us
all the options
696
00:22:04,166 --> 00:22:06,100
-that we want and gives us
the sightlines...
-Yeah.
697
00:22:06,166 --> 00:22:07,867
...you know, to be able
to interact with family.
698
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,000
[Melody] Yeah.
699
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,467
Option one
comes in at $190,000,
700
00:22:12,467 --> 00:22:14,266
{\an8}and it would take ten weeks
to complete.
701
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:15,667
{\an8}-Okay.
-Okay.
702
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:17,767
{\an8}[Melody]
So what is option two?
703
00:22:17,767 --> 00:22:19,000
Shut up, Jonathan.
704
00:22:19,066 --> 00:22:21,166
Just get to the good stuff.
705
00:22:21,166 --> 00:22:24,166
Option two, everything
would be exactly the same,
706
00:22:24,166 --> 00:22:25,667
except for the kitchen,
707
00:22:25,667 --> 00:22:27,266
where we would save you
a little bit of money
708
00:22:27,266 --> 00:22:29,000
by not opening
it up completely.
709
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,019
We would leave
a post to support the load.
710
00:22:29,019 --> 00:22:30,000
We would leave
a post to support the load.
711
00:22:30,967 --> 00:22:34,000
And since the sightline
won't be as open
or unobstructed,
712
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,567
I'll add an interior window
713
00:22:35,567 --> 00:22:37,166
so you still get
the benefit of seeing
714
00:22:37,166 --> 00:22:38,867
into the dining room
and the family room.
715
00:22:38,867 --> 00:22:40,300
But the big advantage is,
716
00:22:40,367 --> 00:22:41,867
we can extend
the amount of counter space
717
00:22:41,867 --> 00:22:44,667
and kitchen storage by having
a wraparound peninsula.
718
00:22:44,667 --> 00:22:46,467
You'll still get
the checkered floor tiles,
719
00:22:46,467 --> 00:22:48,867
gorgeous counters
and new appliances.
720
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:50,667
-I love it. I love it.
-Yeah.
721
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:54,000
So option two comes in well
below your max budget,
722
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,567
{\an8}$175,000 and I can get it done
in eight weeks.
723
00:22:57,567 --> 00:22:59,019
{\an8}So you'd be back in here
and it would be beautiful
724
00:22:59,019 --> 00:23:00,000
{\an8}So you'd be back in here
and it would be beautiful
725
00:23:00,066 --> 00:23:01,300
in a very short period
of time.
726
00:23:01,367 --> 00:23:02,867
The main difference
is we would not
727
00:23:02,867 --> 00:23:04,266
remove this post,
728
00:23:04,266 --> 00:23:06,800
so you'd have a little bit
of structure here,
729
00:23:06,867 --> 00:23:10,400
which saves us
essentially $15,000.
730
00:23:10,467 --> 00:23:11,867
Okay.
731
00:23:11,867 --> 00:23:13,266
God,
well, it sounds so good.
732
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:14,700
This is...
Yeah, this is tough.
733
00:23:14,767 --> 00:23:17,467
There's no wrong choice,
because you guys can choose.
734
00:23:17,467 --> 00:23:19,800
It's essentially
what's more important to you
735
00:23:19,867 --> 00:23:24,800
having more counter space
or having more sightline?
736
00:23:24,867 --> 00:23:27,700
More counter space
is actually really good.
737
00:23:27,767 --> 00:23:28,900
I think it is. Yeah.
738
00:23:28,967 --> 00:23:29,019
We're bumping into each other
a lot in that kitchen.
739
00:23:29,019 --> 00:23:30,000
We're bumping into each other
a lot in that kitchen.
740
00:23:31,066 --> 00:23:32,166
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
741
00:23:32,166 --> 00:23:33,800
[Chris] Plus option
two gives us an extra,
742
00:23:33,867 --> 00:23:36,400
you know,
$15,000 in our pocket
743
00:23:36,467 --> 00:23:37,667
-and, you know, some...
-Yeah.
744
00:23:37,667 --> 00:23:39,367
...that's definitely
a good savings
that we could use.
745
00:23:39,367 --> 00:23:40,767
Yeah, we are already
pretty stretched.
746
00:23:40,767 --> 00:23:42,066
Right. Right.
747
00:23:42,066 --> 00:23:44,166
What do you think?
Option one or option two?
748
00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:45,667
[Chris]
So what are you thinking?
749
00:23:47,367 --> 00:23:49,166
-I'm thinking option two.
-Option two.
750
00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:50,367
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
751
00:23:50,367 --> 00:23:51,467
[Jonathan] Okay. All right.
752
00:23:51,467 --> 00:23:53,767
I think this is gonna be
transformative.
753
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:55,867
-It's gonna be incredible.
-I... I agree. Yeah.
754
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:58,100
But for now, take a break.
755
00:23:58,166 --> 00:23:59,019
Kick back, put your feet up,
756
00:23:59,019 --> 00:23:59,867
Kick back, put your feet up,
757
00:23:59,867 --> 00:24:00,000
and when you come back,
it's gonna be done.
758
00:24:01,367 --> 00:24:02,767
-Oh, thank you.
-Thank you.
759
00:24:02,767 --> 00:24:04,300
Oh, my God.
760
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:10,800
{\an8}[Jonathan] Melody and Chris
chose option two,
761
00:24:10,867 --> 00:24:11,900
{\an8}which means we'll be keeping
762
00:24:11,967 --> 00:24:13,100
the post in the kitchen
to avoid
763
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:15,300
some very expensive beam work.
764
00:24:15,367 --> 00:24:17,000
Instead, we can focus
our reno budget
765
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,567
on shoring up the structure,
766
00:24:18,567 --> 00:24:20,367
upgrading the electrical
and plumbing
767
00:24:20,367 --> 00:24:21,867
to today's code requirements,
768
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:25,867
{\an8}and giving them
an interior window
for better sightlines
769
00:24:25,867 --> 00:24:27,700
{\an8}from the kitchen
to the family room.
770
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:29,019
{\an8}The bathroom door opens
straight into the dining area,
771
00:24:29,019 --> 00:24:30,000
{\an8}The bathroom door opens
straight into the dining area,
772
00:24:30,367 --> 00:24:32,367
so Adam and I are gonna add
a new hallway
773
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:33,767
just outside the bathroom.
774
00:24:33,767 --> 00:24:35,867
It makes sense
to have separation
775
00:24:35,867 --> 00:24:38,000
also for the privacy
of the bedrooms, too.
776
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,266
[Adam] Yeah.
777
00:24:39,266 --> 00:24:41,467
This is a better location
for the door to this bedroom
778
00:24:41,467 --> 00:24:42,667
{\an8}instead of the front
779
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:44,400
{\an8}and having a built
in banquette here,
780
00:24:44,467 --> 00:24:45,600
much better use of the space.
781
00:24:45,667 --> 00:24:47,367
So this... this will make
782
00:24:47,367 --> 00:24:48,867
everything balanced
in the universe,
783
00:24:48,867 --> 00:24:50,800
giving them a separation.
784
00:24:50,867 --> 00:24:52,066
And they said
they wanted this.
785
00:24:52,066 --> 00:24:53,166
This is important for them.
786
00:24:53,166 --> 00:24:55,467
So, wanna throw
a top light up?
787
00:24:55,467 --> 00:24:56,567
[Adam] Sure.
788
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:04,467
Boom!
We have some privacy.
789
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,300
Who knew that
a five foot wall span
790
00:25:08,367 --> 00:25:09,667
could make such a difference?
791
00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:12,266
I'm always the guy
who's tearing down walls.
792
00:25:12,266 --> 00:25:13,433
Fortunately, I remember
how to build them back, too.
793
00:25:19,166 --> 00:25:20,700
{\an8}[Jonathan] With the electrical
now completed
794
00:25:20,767 --> 00:25:22,266
{\an8}and all inspections passed,
795
00:25:22,266 --> 00:25:23,934
{\an8}we're patching up the drywall
796
00:25:23,934 --> 00:25:25,867
and closing the entrance
to the main bedroom
from the living room.
797
00:25:25,867 --> 00:25:28,066
Relocating this door
will completely change
798
00:25:28,066 --> 00:25:29,800
the functionality
of their front room.
799
00:25:29,867 --> 00:25:32,467
Melody and Chris
will have privacy
and peace of mind
800
00:25:32,467 --> 00:25:34,667
when they have guests over.
801
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:36,767
{\an8}Plus, we'll be able
to add Pegboard storage,
802
00:25:36,767 --> 00:25:38,266
{\an8}which will be
a big improvement
803
00:25:38,266 --> 00:25:40,000
{\an8}over the single coat tree
they had before.
804
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:43,000
Their new kitchen
with expanded storage
805
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,600
and prep space
is coming together,
806
00:25:44,667 --> 00:25:44,888
while Adam
and I do some heavy lifting
807
00:25:44,888 --> 00:25:45,000
while Adam
and I do some heavy lifting
808
00:25:46,567 --> 00:25:48,600
to allow more light
into the front entry
809
00:25:48,667 --> 00:25:50,000
in the living room.
810
00:25:50,066 --> 00:25:51,567
Oh, gosh.
811
00:25:51,567 --> 00:25:53,767
So this door is solid.
812
00:25:53,767 --> 00:25:54,967
It's a beast.
813
00:25:54,967 --> 00:25:57,000
{\an8}Really, it just needs to be
sanded down, painted out.
814
00:25:57,066 --> 00:25:59,166
{\an8}You could even add
a detail to it, it'd be nice.
815
00:25:59,166 --> 00:26:00,867
Problem is, no matter
what you do to this door,
816
00:26:00,867 --> 00:26:02,367
it will never
let the light in.
817
00:26:02,367 --> 00:26:03,867
The new door is beautiful,
818
00:26:03,867 --> 00:26:05,200
'cause it's got
all the glass.
819
00:26:05,266 --> 00:26:08,066
It's still got
the energy efficiency
and the security.
820
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:10,266
So you want
your first impression
to look good.
821
00:26:10,266 --> 00:26:11,467
And also,
don't you want to see
822
00:26:11,467 --> 00:26:12,667
who's ringing your doorbell?
823
00:26:12,667 --> 00:26:14,066
-I... I think I do.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
824
00:26:14,066 --> 00:26:14,888
The peephole is one thing,
but, you know,
825
00:26:14,888 --> 00:26:15,000
The peephole is one thing,
but, you know,
826
00:26:16,166 --> 00:26:18,000
this is like a lounging area,
sitting area.
827
00:26:18,066 --> 00:26:19,467
It should have lots of lights.
828
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:20,533
-[Adam] Yeah.
-[Jonathan] So...
829
00:26:20,567 --> 00:26:22,266
The lights are everything
for this room especially.
830
00:26:22,266 --> 00:26:23,367
Exactly.
831
00:26:23,367 --> 00:26:25,567
But, maybe
there's something else
832
00:26:25,567 --> 00:26:26,934
we could do with it.
833
00:26:26,934 --> 00:26:29,667
Even though this front door
visually isn't very appealing,
834
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:31,266
I feel like we can rework it
835
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,100
{\an8}into some shelves
for Champs Corner.
836
00:26:33,166 --> 00:26:34,867
{\an8}That way they have
a little bit of the old house
837
00:26:34,867 --> 00:26:36,367
{\an8}mixed in with the new.
838
00:26:36,367 --> 00:26:37,800
{\an8}The new door looks amazing
839
00:26:37,867 --> 00:26:39,700
{\an8}and definitely lets
in a lot more natural light.
840
00:26:39,767 --> 00:26:41,000
This is gonna be
something that
841
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,667
really improves
their living room.
842
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:44,700
That is a much prettier door.
843
00:26:51,967 --> 00:26:53,867
{\an8}Melody and Chris
chose option two,
844
00:26:53,867 --> 00:26:55,567
{\an8}which saves them 15 grand
845
00:26:55,567 --> 00:26:57,500
{\an8}by not doing
any expensive beam work.
846
00:26:57,567 --> 00:27:00,567
Since their family
relies on lip reading
to help Arianna,
847
00:27:00,567 --> 00:27:02,567
I still plan to give them
sightlines from the kitchen
848
00:27:02,567 --> 00:27:03,767
into the family room.
849
00:27:03,767 --> 00:27:05,300
And we're doing that
with an interior window.
850
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:11,066
-Oh, hey. What's up?
-What's up, man?
851
00:27:11,066 --> 00:27:13,000
This is gonna be
a cool feature for them,
852
00:27:13,066 --> 00:27:14,567
because they did not have
to spend
853
00:27:14,567 --> 00:27:14,888
all that extra money
on the structure
854
00:27:14,888 --> 00:27:15,000
all that extra money
on the structure
855
00:27:16,667 --> 00:27:18,100
that it would take
to open this up
856
00:27:18,166 --> 00:27:19,667
so they can spend
on other things.
857
00:27:19,667 --> 00:27:21,867
But I do want
to make this feel special.
858
00:27:21,867 --> 00:27:23,900
Give it like a New York loft
kind of feel...
859
00:27:23,967 --> 00:27:25,567
-[Adam] Right.
-...and put a window in.
860
00:27:25,567 --> 00:27:27,500
So if we can do something cool
with the grid...
861
00:27:27,567 --> 00:27:28,700
Okay.
862
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:33,066
...making it like a cool,
basically like four panels.
863
00:27:33,066 --> 00:27:34,467
[Adam] We have what?
864
00:27:35,967 --> 00:27:40,100
We have 36,
so we'll be 17 on each side.
865
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:41,767
Or...
866
00:27:41,767 --> 00:27:43,600
[Adam] I love that.
I like that better.
867
00:27:43,667 --> 00:27:44,888
[Jonathan] So you know
what that means.
868
00:27:44,888 --> 00:27:45,000
[Jonathan] So you know
what that means.
869
00:27:45,066 --> 00:27:47,367
-If we did this and this...
-Tic tac toe.
870
00:27:47,367 --> 00:27:48,967
Tic tac toe championship.
871
00:27:50,367 --> 00:27:51,400
-[Adam] Let's do it.
-Yeah.
872
00:27:51,467 --> 00:27:52,567
-Oh, okay.
-[Jonathan] All right.
873
00:27:52,567 --> 00:27:54,166
Okay.
874
00:27:54,166 --> 00:27:56,467
Stand by.
875
00:27:56,467 --> 00:27:58,300
All right.
876
00:27:58,367 --> 00:27:59,967
You want to go first?
877
00:27:59,967 --> 00:28:01,266
All right.
Are you X's or O's?
878
00:28:01,266 --> 00:28:03,000
-I'm Xs.
-[Jonathan] Okay.
879
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,700
I'm gonna go... Yeah.
880
00:28:06,567 --> 00:28:07,900
Okay.
881
00:28:07,967 --> 00:28:09,367
Oh, I see what you're up to.
882
00:28:09,367 --> 00:28:10,567
So there is actually a trick
883
00:28:10,567 --> 00:28:12,266
where you can guarantee
your odds
884
00:28:12,266 --> 00:28:14,867
way better than somebody
that does not know the trick.
885
00:28:14,867 --> 00:28:14,888
The problem is, I've read
the trick a million times,
886
00:28:14,888 --> 00:28:15,000
The problem is, I've read
the trick a million times,
887
00:28:17,066 --> 00:28:18,800
and I keep forgetting
what it is.
888
00:28:18,867 --> 00:28:20,100
[Adam] That's a tie, dude.
889
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:21,300
[Jonathan]
That is disappointing.
890
00:28:25,166 --> 00:28:26,567
The last five years
in this home
891
00:28:26,567 --> 00:28:28,667
have been a whirlwind
for Chris and Melody.
892
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:30,100
With moving out to Burbank
893
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:31,567
and getting
Arianna and Isabella
894
00:28:31,567 --> 00:28:33,166
settled into their
new community,
895
00:28:33,166 --> 00:28:35,367
{\an8}it's finally time
to make this house their own.
896
00:28:35,367 --> 00:28:37,266
{\an8}And we're taking
every opportunity
897
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:39,166
to personalize it for them.
898
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:41,467
Melody is getting
her checkered floor tiles,
899
00:28:41,467 --> 00:28:43,100
and for something
a little different,
900
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:44,800
we're setting them
in a diamond pattern.
901
00:28:44,867 --> 00:28:44,888
{\an8}It means more cuts,
it means more material,
902
00:28:44,888 --> 00:28:45,000
{\an8}It means more cuts,
it means more material,
903
00:28:47,367 --> 00:28:49,166
{\an8}but it just looks
a lot classier
904
00:28:49,166 --> 00:28:51,066
when it's on
a 45 degree angle.
905
00:28:51,066 --> 00:28:52,266
In the family room,
906
00:28:52,266 --> 00:28:54,266
{\an8}they're getting new white
oak hardwood throughout.
907
00:28:54,266 --> 00:28:55,800
{\an8}It'll still cozy things up
in here
908
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:57,166
for family movie nights.
909
00:28:57,166 --> 00:28:58,266
{\an8}In the living room,
910
00:28:58,266 --> 00:29:00,900
{\an8}Melody gave her best shot
with a DIY mantle,
911
00:29:00,967 --> 00:29:03,166
but this time, Drew
and I are doing it right.
912
00:29:03,166 --> 00:29:04,266
-[Jonathan] Okay.
-[Drew] Okay.
913
00:29:04,266 --> 00:29:07,367
Looking at this, I'm thinking
so much better
914
00:29:07,367 --> 00:29:08,667
than what was there before.
915
00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:11,066
{\an8}[Drew] It's way better.
This is such a chunky mantle.
916
00:29:11,066 --> 00:29:13,300
{\an8}This is so perfect for what...
what we need here.
917
00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:14,888
And we have to make sure
that this mantle
918
00:29:14,888 --> 00:29:14,900
And we have to make sure
that this mantle
919
00:29:14,967 --> 00:29:15,000
doesn't fall off
like the old one.
920
00:29:16,367 --> 00:29:18,200
-This would hurt.
-Well, look at the bracket
on here.
921
00:29:18,266 --> 00:29:20,166
This thing
is never going anywhere.
922
00:29:20,166 --> 00:29:21,867
We even extra drilled
on the side here
923
00:29:21,867 --> 00:29:23,667
so we can anchor
into every single stud.
924
00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:25,166
Now, my question, though, is,
925
00:29:25,166 --> 00:29:27,000
we're gonna have the clean cut
on both sides.
926
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,667
And this is a very rugged,
very rough.
927
00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:30,166
[Jonathan] Yeah.
928
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,867
[Drew] Do you want
to clean it up a little bit
or what are you thinking?
929
00:29:31,867 --> 00:29:33,767
Yeah, I was gonna sandblasted
or even just take,
930
00:29:33,767 --> 00:29:35,066
like, a wire brush to it.
931
00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:36,700
This has nice color
on the side.
932
00:29:36,767 --> 00:29:38,400
I'm still gonna sand this down
933
00:29:38,467 --> 00:29:41,100
and then distress it up
a little bit,
but it'll look nice.
934
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,567
-Oh, we can make a mantle.
-I know we can.
935
00:29:43,567 --> 00:29:44,867
I'm not throwing shade
at Melody,
936
00:29:44,867 --> 00:29:44,888
but we're like
professional DIYers.
937
00:29:44,888 --> 00:29:45,000
but we're like
professional DIYers.
938
00:29:47,367 --> 00:29:49,166
[Jonathan] It's what we do day
in and day out.
939
00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:50,700
I know we can do this.
940
00:29:52,567 --> 00:29:53,667
[Drew]
Oh, that's not helping.
941
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:56,066
-Hold on.
-Oh, my hand.
942
00:29:57,767 --> 00:29:59,867
But, you know,
sometimes mantels can be
943
00:29:59,867 --> 00:30:01,500
-a little bit finicky.
-Yeah.
944
00:30:01,567 --> 00:30:03,066
I mean, sometimes
they need a little coaxing
945
00:30:03,066 --> 00:30:04,867
or a little gentle persuading.
946
00:30:04,867 --> 00:30:06,166
I'm gonna need
a sledgehammer.
947
00:30:06,166 --> 00:30:08,500
If we don't get
this thing up here,
948
00:30:08,567 --> 00:30:10,266
-I mean, we're out of luck.
-We should just retire.
949
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:13,166
Okay. You know what?
950
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:14,667
Honestly,
I think we need to open
951
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:14,888
these hole up
a little bit more.
952
00:30:14,888 --> 00:30:15,000
these hole up
a little bit more.
953
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,200
-You think so?
-[Drew] Yeah.
954
00:30:17,266 --> 00:30:19,266
We're so close.
955
00:30:19,266 --> 00:30:21,100
Melody cannot find out
about this.
956
00:30:21,100 --> 00:30:22,200
Shh!
We keep this to ourselves.
957
00:30:27,266 --> 00:30:28,767
[Jonathan] We're priming
in the living room
958
00:30:28,767 --> 00:30:30,900
where we'll be relocating
Chris's home office.
959
00:30:30,967 --> 00:30:33,767
That way the girls have
the family room to themselves.
960
00:30:33,767 --> 00:30:35,867
We'll be painting the walls
a soft white
961
00:30:35,867 --> 00:30:38,100
to up the brightness factor.
962
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:40,667
{\an8}One of the reasons Melody
and Chris chose option two is,
963
00:30:40,667 --> 00:30:43,367
{\an8}it provided them
with more kitchen storage
and prep space.
964
00:30:43,367 --> 00:30:46,700
I think they're gonna
love this new functionality.
965
00:30:46,767 --> 00:30:49,500
{\an8}We had to move Champs Corner
to make way for all of this,
966
00:30:49,567 --> 00:30:51,867
but I think our idea
for Champs Corner 2.0
967
00:30:51,867 --> 00:30:53,066
is gonna be way better.
968
00:30:53,066 --> 00:30:53,822
I'm so glad we're not wasting
this door
969
00:30:53,822 --> 00:30:54,000
I'm so glad we're not wasting
this door
970
00:30:55,166 --> 00:30:56,867
because it is still
a nice solid door.
971
00:30:56,867 --> 00:30:58,800
Yeah.
I like that it is so solid.
972
00:30:58,867 --> 00:31:00,166
It's been providing security.
973
00:31:00,166 --> 00:31:01,400
It's been providing them,
you know,
974
00:31:01,467 --> 00:31:03,066
that efficiency of having
a solid front door,
975
00:31:03,066 --> 00:31:04,266
but it has not been
providing them
976
00:31:04,266 --> 00:31:05,400
with the light
that they needed.
977
00:31:05,467 --> 00:31:07,500
-[Drew] Yeah.
-So no need to toss it out.
978
00:31:07,567 --> 00:31:09,867
We want to have somewhere
for Champs Corner.
979
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:11,667
Why not make shelves out
of this
980
00:31:11,667 --> 00:31:13,467
so that Champs Corner
can live on?
981
00:31:13,467 --> 00:31:15,500
One, it's gonna save us
some cost.
982
00:31:15,567 --> 00:31:17,567
And two, it's still gonna
look awesome and it's solid.
983
00:31:17,567 --> 00:31:18,667
-I mean...
-Yeah.
984
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:19,867
...these are gonna be
great shelves.
985
00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:21,400
-All right, let's do it.
-You want to run a...
986
00:31:21,467 --> 00:31:23,300
if you center eight inches
right there.
987
00:31:23,367 --> 00:31:23,822
-So if you want to...
-[Drew] All right.
988
00:31:23,822 --> 00:31:24,000
-So if you want to...
-[Drew] All right.
989
00:31:24,767 --> 00:31:26,667
-[Jonathan] That looks good.
-[Drew] You want to mark it?
990
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:28,567
[Jonathan] What happened
to our awards, by the way,
991
00:31:28,567 --> 00:31:30,467
-for karate and everything?
-I have them all.
992
00:31:30,467 --> 00:31:32,700
How do you have them all?
Half the awards were mine.
993
00:31:32,767 --> 00:31:34,467
If I display all of them,
people think
994
00:31:34,467 --> 00:31:36,667
that I was more the karate
pro than you were.
995
00:31:36,667 --> 00:31:38,300
-Did you just call it karati?
-Karati.
996
00:31:38,367 --> 00:31:40,667
If you can't pronounce it,
you can't claim it.
997
00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:43,100
You already claimed
our coin collection
and that...
998
00:31:43,166 --> 00:31:44,300
What the heck is that?
999
00:31:44,367 --> 00:31:45,467
That's why I'm the champion.
1000
00:31:45,467 --> 00:31:46,767
You weren't fast enough
to respond.
1001
00:31:46,767 --> 00:31:48,567
Because my ninja skills
1002
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:50,667
told me that's clearly
not a threat.
1003
00:31:51,967 --> 00:31:53,333
-All right.
-All right, let's cut.
1004
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,567
[Jonathan]
Looks so much better than
just tossing this door out.
1005
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:03,266
-That... that is a
solid shelf.
-[Drew] That looks great.
1006
00:32:03,266 --> 00:32:04,767
I mean, we can bond
the end here,
1007
00:32:04,767 --> 00:32:06,266
-fill that look
and then paint it.
-Oh, yeah.
1008
00:32:06,266 --> 00:32:07,900
That'll... we'll have
a clean up real nice.
1009
00:32:07,967 --> 00:32:10,800
-I like it.
-Bam!
1010
00:32:10,867 --> 00:32:13,266
[Jonathan]
The challenge in this reno
was to work with the structure
1011
00:32:13,266 --> 00:32:15,367
{\an8}we had to improve
the amount of flow
1012
00:32:15,367 --> 00:32:16,567
{\an8}and kitchen prep space.
1013
00:32:16,567 --> 00:32:18,767
{\an8}They're getting light gray
marble looking counters.
1014
00:32:18,767 --> 00:32:20,567
{\an8}It's a beautiful,
natural esthetic
1015
00:32:20,567 --> 00:32:22,400
that will work well
with their farmhouse sink.
1016
00:32:22,467 --> 00:32:23,822
I think we got the ratio
of farmhouse to modern
1017
00:32:23,822 --> 00:32:24,000
I think we got the ratio
of farmhouse to modern
1018
00:32:24,767 --> 00:32:26,166
just right for them.
1019
00:32:26,166 --> 00:32:28,767
We're on the home stretch,
adding the finishing touches.
1020
00:32:28,767 --> 00:32:31,767
It was a challenging floorplan
with an unusual layout,
1021
00:32:31,767 --> 00:32:33,767
but we were able
to open things up a lot
1022
00:32:33,767 --> 00:32:35,667
to create a much more
functional space.
1023
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,300
{\an8}Chris and Melody moved
their young family to Burbank
1024
00:32:43,367 --> 00:32:45,867
to provide their daughters,
Arianna and Isabella,
1025
00:32:45,867 --> 00:32:49,367
the best community
and the best school district
for their needs.
1026
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:51,166
Fancy ideas
of home renovations
1027
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:52,367
went onto the back burner
1028
00:32:52,367 --> 00:32:53,822
while they settled
into their new community.
1029
00:32:53,822 --> 00:32:54,000
while they settled
into their new community.
1030
00:32:54,166 --> 00:32:56,767
Our goal was to transform
this home into a place
1031
00:32:56,767 --> 00:32:58,867
that feels like
a warm family hug
1032
00:32:58,867 --> 00:32:59,967
and a place that works
1033
00:32:59,967 --> 00:33:02,000
much better
for everyone forever.
1034
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,300
[Drew] Okay.
1035
00:33:03,367 --> 00:33:04,567
Can't even get it on my head?
1036
00:33:04,567 --> 00:33:05,667
Your head's too big.
1037
00:33:05,667 --> 00:33:07,000
This is such a better use
of the space.
1038
00:33:07,066 --> 00:33:08,367
They needed to have storage.
1039
00:33:08,367 --> 00:33:10,467
They needed to have
a wall like this
1040
00:33:10,467 --> 00:33:12,166
where they can just hang
a whole bunch of coats.
1041
00:33:12,166 --> 00:33:14,300
-Somewhere to put the boots.
-Great.
1042
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,000
I mean, in this whole area,
1043
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,467
just the flow feels
so much better now.
1044
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:20,300
I can't wait to see
their faces
when they come in here
1045
00:33:20,367 --> 00:33:21,800
and then I can't wait
to see their faces
1046
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:23,300
-when they see the rest.
-[Drew] Um-hmm.
1047
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,300
I feel
this is a very moving design.
1048
00:33:33,367 --> 00:33:34,567
[Jonathan] I get it. I get it.
1049
00:33:34,567 --> 00:33:37,200
This feels
so much more spacious.
1050
00:33:37,266 --> 00:33:38,967
Ripping out the old closet
that was here,
1051
00:33:38,967 --> 00:33:41,767
expanding the kitchen,
wrapping it around
1052
00:33:41,767 --> 00:33:43,900
and losing this wall
that was closing it off.
1053
00:33:43,967 --> 00:33:45,066
[Drew] I think this is better.
1054
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:46,567
And so weird layout
for a kitchen,
1055
00:33:46,567 --> 00:33:48,100
but we have actually
made it look amazing
1056
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:49,767
and we've maximized
every square inch.
1057
00:33:49,767 --> 00:33:52,567
It was a weird layout
for kitchen.
1058
00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:53,822
Now it all makes sense.
1059
00:33:53,822 --> 00:33:54,000
Now it all makes sense.
1060
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:56,100
We just need to put
a couple of homeowners in it.
1061
00:33:56,166 --> 00:33:57,467
Let's get them.
1062
00:34:01,266 --> 00:34:03,000
[Chris] We are so ready
to be back in the house.
1063
00:34:03,066 --> 00:34:04,266
[Drew] Yeah.
1064
00:34:04,266 --> 00:34:06,166
[Jonathan] Well, we can wait
a little longer if you want.
1065
00:34:06,166 --> 00:34:07,500
[Chris] No.
Please, no. Please, no.
1066
00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:08,967
[Melody] No.
We need to get back in.
1067
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:10,266
I'm... I'm done.
1068
00:34:10,266 --> 00:34:12,867
Last night,
I was so anxious coming in.
1069
00:34:12,867 --> 00:34:14,567
I just kept like having
this dream that, like,
1070
00:34:14,567 --> 00:34:15,867
I was gonna walk in
1071
00:34:15,867 --> 00:34:18,500
and not much
was gonna be changed.
1072
00:34:18,567 --> 00:34:20,400
Can't wait to be
in the house already.
1073
00:34:20,467 --> 00:34:21,900
It looks gorgeous.
1074
00:34:21,967 --> 00:34:23,400
You and the girls
are gonna love it.
1075
00:34:23,467 --> 00:34:23,822
Oh, my gosh. Look.
The front door.
1076
00:34:23,822 --> 00:34:24,000
Oh, my gosh. Look.
The front door.
1077
00:34:25,567 --> 00:34:26,867
[Chris] Wow. That's awesome.
1078
00:34:26,867 --> 00:34:28,200
{\an8}[Drew]
Just a little different.
1079
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:30,066
{\an8}[Melody] Oh, my God.
That is beautiful.
1080
00:34:30,066 --> 00:34:31,767
It beats the kitchen door
that we had there before.
1081
00:34:31,767 --> 00:34:33,100
[Jonathan]
Yeah, that's right.
1082
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,900
[Melody] Oh, my gosh, Chris.
1083
00:34:37,967 --> 00:34:39,600
Wow.
1084
00:34:39,667 --> 00:34:42,100
-It looks so good.
-Wow.
1085
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:42,600
- Awesome.
-[Melody] Oh, my God.
1086
00:34:47,767 --> 00:34:49,967
Oh, my gosh, Chris.
1087
00:34:49,967 --> 00:34:51,767
Wow.
1088
00:34:51,767 --> 00:34:54,166
-It looks so good.
-Wow.
1089
00:34:54,166 --> 00:34:55,467
This is beautiful.
1090
00:34:56,567 --> 00:34:57,667
-Awesome.
-Oh, my God.
1091
00:34:57,667 --> 00:34:58,767
[Chris] This is so cool.
1092
00:34:58,767 --> 00:35:00,367
[Melody]
This is not the same house.
1093
00:35:00,367 --> 00:35:02,000
-[Chris] No.
-[Melody] What the heck?
1094
00:35:02,066 --> 00:35:03,767
-Wow.
-[Chris] Yeah.
1095
00:35:03,767 --> 00:35:05,967
{\an8}[Melody] That door
is completely gone.
1096
00:35:05,967 --> 00:35:07,467
I mean, the wall is beautiful.
1097
00:35:07,467 --> 00:35:08,767
-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Melody] I love it.
1098
00:35:08,767 --> 00:35:10,567
No bedroom door
in your front entry?
1099
00:35:11,867 --> 00:35:13,100
This is very inviting.
1100
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:15,100
You have a beautiful mantel
and cleaning up the fireplace.
1101
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:15,166
{\an8}-[Melody] I love that.
-[Chris] I love it.
1102
00:35:15,166 --> 00:35:16,000
{\an8}-[Melody] I love that.
-[Chris] I love it.
1103
00:35:16,567 --> 00:35:18,166
{\an8}[Melody] It looks so clean.
I love the mantel.
1104
00:35:18,166 --> 00:35:20,100
- I love it.
-[Chris] Yeah.
The mantel, that's awesome.
1105
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:21,600
Hold on.
Let me make sure...
1106
00:35:22,967 --> 00:35:24,200
Oh, it's secure.
1107
00:35:26,066 --> 00:35:28,667
This just blows my mind.
I just... Wow.
1108
00:35:28,667 --> 00:35:30,967
You also have an office.
How is that?
1109
00:35:30,967 --> 00:35:32,200
-[Chris] Yes.
-[Melody] Wow!
1110
00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:33,867
-[Chris] This is perfect.
-[Melody] Oh, my God.
1111
00:35:33,867 --> 00:35:35,100
[Chris]
I'm gonna enjoy working.
1112
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:36,800
[Melody] If this doesn't
motivate you to work...
1113
00:35:36,867 --> 00:35:38,100
-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Drew] Yeah, exactly.
1114
00:35:38,166 --> 00:35:39,467
-[Chris] Yeah.
-...then you're a bum.
1115
00:35:40,967 --> 00:35:42,266
[Melody]
It's such an inviting space,
1116
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:43,467
not like before.
1117
00:35:43,467 --> 00:35:45,166
{\an8}Before you just bypassed
really quickly
1118
00:35:45,166 --> 00:35:45,266
{\an8}Before you just bypassed
really quickly
1119
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:46,000
'cause there wasn't anything
to see, feel or touch.
1120
00:35:48,066 --> 00:35:50,266
[Jonathan]
This is all bonus all day,
1121
00:35:50,266 --> 00:35:52,266
because you guys
didn't even really use
this space before.
1122
00:35:52,266 --> 00:35:53,600
-[Chris] No.
-[Melody] No.
1123
00:35:53,667 --> 00:35:55,266
[Jonathan]
Now it looks inviting.
1124
00:35:55,266 --> 00:35:56,667
You've got
the mudroom set up.
1125
00:35:56,667 --> 00:35:58,467
We decided to put the pegs
all the way across
1126
00:35:58,467 --> 00:36:00,100
'cause who knows
how many friends
1127
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:01,767
- the kids are gonna have.
-[Melody] That's true.
1128
00:36:01,767 --> 00:36:03,266
[Drew] This is what
it's all about, right?
1129
00:36:03,266 --> 00:36:04,767
That's what it's all about.
That's...
1130
00:36:04,767 --> 00:36:06,100
[Jonathan]
So that's why we did this.
1131
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:07,400
That's Arianna
after cancer treatment.
1132
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:08,667
-Oh!
-It was our first outing.
1133
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:09,800
We went to the LA Zoo.
1134
00:36:09,867 --> 00:36:12,300
Since, I mean,
getting married,
1135
00:36:12,367 --> 00:36:15,166
having Arianna,
being pregnant
with Isabella...
1136
00:36:15,166 --> 00:36:15,266
having Arianna,
being pregnant
with Isabella...
1137
00:36:15,266 --> 00:36:16,000
Yeah.
1138
00:36:16,467 --> 00:36:18,166
...and then Arianna's
cancer journey,
1139
00:36:18,166 --> 00:36:21,000
which was the hardest time
of our lives, obviously.
1140
00:36:21,066 --> 00:36:23,767
But we've just been trying
to catch up on everything
1141
00:36:23,767 --> 00:36:27,000
and trying to get Arianna
and Izzy up to speed.
1142
00:36:27,066 --> 00:36:29,367
The house
just wasn't a priority.
1143
00:36:29,367 --> 00:36:31,400
Now, having our...
our forever home
1144
00:36:31,467 --> 00:36:33,000
and making it a place
1145
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,800
that they could truly grow up
and it's awesome.
1146
00:36:35,867 --> 00:36:39,567
[Melody] And this just means
so much to have it
all put together.
1147
00:36:39,567 --> 00:36:41,200
We could finally rest.
Yeah.
1148
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:43,767
-Rest and enjoy our family.
-Let's do it together, ready?
1149
00:36:43,767 --> 00:36:45,166
[inhale and exhale]
1150
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:46,000
[inhale and exhale]
1151
00:36:46,767 --> 00:36:48,900
[Jonathan] This is just
the tip of the iceberg.
1152
00:36:48,967 --> 00:36:50,500
Wait till you see
your beautiful dining room.
1153
00:36:51,567 --> 00:36:53,266
[Chris] Let's check it out.
1154
00:36:53,266 --> 00:36:54,800
-Oh, look at, Chris.
-Wow.
1155
00:36:54,867 --> 00:36:55,900
-Chris, look.
-Look at this.
1156
00:36:55,967 --> 00:36:57,133
Look, look, look.
Oh, my God.
1157
00:36:57,133 --> 00:36:58,767
-[Chris] Look at this.
-[Melody] Look, look.
1158
00:36:58,767 --> 00:37:00,900
[Jonathan]
We've got a wall here
separating the bathroom.
1159
00:37:00,967 --> 00:37:02,367
-[Drew] We have a hallway.
-Separation.
1160
00:37:02,367 --> 00:37:03,867
The bathroom
is so far now.
1161
00:37:03,867 --> 00:37:05,367
[Chris] Yes.
1162
00:37:05,367 --> 00:37:06,700
{\an8}No more...
1163
00:37:06,767 --> 00:37:07,834
{\an8}Yeah, I know.
1164
00:37:07,867 --> 00:37:09,567
{\an8}We were worried by putting
the wall in that
1165
00:37:09,567 --> 00:37:10,800
there wouldn't be
enough space,
1166
00:37:10,867 --> 00:37:12,567
but, I mean,
there's plenty of space here.
1167
00:37:12,567 --> 00:37:14,667
I mean,
I could perfect pathway
into the family room.
1168
00:37:14,667 --> 00:37:15,166
[Melody] I'm sorry.
I'm still in shock here.
1169
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:16,000
[Melody] I'm sorry.
I'm still in shock here.
1170
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:18,667
I just didn't know
how all this was possible.
1171
00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:19,800
{\an8}[Chris] Yeah.
1172
00:37:19,867 --> 00:37:21,266
{\an8}[Melody] Everything
is so much better than
1173
00:37:21,266 --> 00:37:23,500
what we had before.
It's beautiful.
1174
00:37:23,567 --> 00:37:25,700
I could definitely see us
sitting all here,
1175
00:37:25,767 --> 00:37:27,266
breakfast, lunch, dinner.
1176
00:37:27,266 --> 00:37:29,100
-[Chris] Yeah.
-This is great. Look at this.
1177
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:31,200
[Chris] I mean, this is...
this is awesome.
1178
00:37:31,266 --> 00:37:34,000
[Jonathan] Sitting there,
this chair also comes
with massage.
1179
00:37:34,066 --> 00:37:35,767
-Take your time.
-You have to pick up after me.
1180
00:37:35,767 --> 00:37:37,300
-Take your time.
-[Chris] I'll take on, yeah.
1181
00:37:38,467 --> 00:37:40,100
Did you see that?
Did you see how he did that?
1182
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:41,567
[Chris] I was taking notes.
I got it.
1183
00:37:41,567 --> 00:37:42,767
[Melody]
Look at the pictures.
1184
00:37:42,767 --> 00:37:44,066
This picture up here
on the corner,
1185
00:37:44,066 --> 00:37:45,166
that's when we had first moved
into the house.
1186
00:37:45,166 --> 00:37:45,767
that's when we had first moved
into the house.
1187
00:37:45,767 --> 00:37:46,000
This is what's so important,
right?
1188
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:48,867
All those family moments
and to be able to have
1189
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:50,300
that as a part of the design,
1190
00:37:50,367 --> 00:37:51,700
makes it feel more personal.
1191
00:37:51,767 --> 00:37:53,133
-[Chris] It does. For sure.
-Yeah.
1192
00:37:53,166 --> 00:37:56,100
It's wild
because this feels like
a much better use of space.
1193
00:37:56,166 --> 00:37:57,433
Yeah.
1194
00:37:57,433 --> 00:37:59,600
Hallway here,
privacy to the bathroom,
to the bedrooms.
1195
00:37:59,667 --> 00:38:01,200
[Chris] Yeah.
1196
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,800
[Jonathan]
Instead of having the bedroom
at your front door,
1197
00:38:02,867 --> 00:38:04,467
-you've now got it
in the hallway.
-Right.
1198
00:38:04,467 --> 00:38:05,567
[Jonathan]
It makes more sense.
1199
00:38:05,567 --> 00:38:06,667
-Yes.
-Yeah.
1200
00:38:06,667 --> 00:38:08,200
But here, we have such
a great use of space...
1201
00:38:08,266 --> 00:38:09,400
-Wow!
-...for your kitchen.
1202
00:38:09,467 --> 00:38:11,066
-[Melody] Oh!
-[Chris] Whoa!
1203
00:38:11,066 --> 00:38:12,667
- Look at this. Wow.
-[Melody] Chris, look.
1204
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:14,066
My checkered floor.
My checkered floor.
1205
00:38:14,066 --> 00:38:15,166
-That was what she wanted.
-That's exactly what I wanted.
1206
00:38:15,166 --> 00:38:16,000
-That was what she wanted.
-That's exactly what I wanted.
1207
00:38:16,367 --> 00:38:17,467
I liked it.
1208
00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:19,367
As soon as you like something,
your first thing is,
1209
00:38:19,367 --> 00:38:21,567
"Oh, Chris. Chris."
1210
00:38:21,567 --> 00:38:22,900
-[Drew] Yes.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
1211
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:25,200
-I know we're doing
all right here.
-Yeah.
1212
00:38:25,266 --> 00:38:26,767
[Jonathan] I mean,
these floors turned out...
1213
00:38:26,767 --> 00:38:28,166
-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Jonathan] ... beautifully...
1214
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:29,667
[Melody] They're awesome.
1215
00:38:29,667 --> 00:38:31,266
...because sometimes
you would just do it
in a straight lay.
1216
00:38:31,266 --> 00:38:32,800
We decided to swap it
to a diamond pattern,
1217
00:38:32,867 --> 00:38:36,200
because I think it makes it
a little more elegant
as it flows through.
1218
00:38:36,266 --> 00:38:38,467
But letting
the black and white contrast
1219
00:38:38,467 --> 00:38:40,000
happen with the door,
the window,
1220
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,166
the light fixtures
and doing the gray
and white on the floor,
1221
00:38:43,166 --> 00:38:45,166
just really
makes it feel elevated.
1222
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:45,567
just really
makes it feel elevated.
1223
00:38:45,567 --> 00:38:46,000
[Melody] Yes.
1224
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:48,200
{\an8}[Jonathan]
Reimagining this kitchen,
1225
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,066
{\an8}opening it up in here,
not making it feel
so closed off,
1226
00:38:51,066 --> 00:38:54,367
{\an8}getting rid of the closet
so we could build in storage.
1227
00:38:54,367 --> 00:38:56,000
[Chris] Look at this.
1228
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,300
And even with the additional
counter space,
1229
00:38:58,367 --> 00:39:00,266
I mean, it's still
extremely roomy in here.
1230
00:39:00,266 --> 00:39:01,600
It's so spacious.
1231
00:39:01,667 --> 00:39:03,300
{\an8}[Jonathan] The way things
have been reconfigured,
1232
00:39:03,367 --> 00:39:05,100
{\an8}just work so much better
for the flow of this house.
1233
00:39:05,166 --> 00:39:06,734
[Chris] Yeah.
1234
00:39:06,734 --> 00:39:08,600
[Jonathan] This odd shape
for the kitchen now
feels purposeful.
1235
00:39:08,667 --> 00:39:10,200
-[Chris] Yeah.
-And we're able
to see through.
1236
00:39:10,266 --> 00:39:12,166
-We have those sightlines,
-[Chris] Sightlines, exactly.
1237
00:39:12,166 --> 00:39:13,567
- We wanted.
-[Melody] that we wanted, yes.
1238
00:39:13,567 --> 00:39:14,767
And this will help.
1239
00:39:14,767 --> 00:39:15,166
This will make it
so much more functional
1240
00:39:15,166 --> 00:39:16,000
This will make it
so much more functional
1241
00:39:16,367 --> 00:39:19,200
for our family
with Arianna and Isabella.
1242
00:39:19,266 --> 00:39:20,467
You know, Arianna does
1243
00:39:20,467 --> 00:39:24,066
a really depend on lip reading
from far distances.
1244
00:39:24,066 --> 00:39:25,467
So this is great.
1245
00:39:25,467 --> 00:39:27,266
And when she orders
a snack up...
1246
00:39:27,266 --> 00:39:28,600
uh, boom!
1247
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,367
-You can throw it
straight out there.
-You know her so well.
1248
00:39:30,367 --> 00:39:31,867
She's always ordering
those snacks.
1249
00:39:31,867 --> 00:39:34,266
I love this back here, too.
It's so fun.
1250
00:39:34,266 --> 00:39:35,967
[Chris] This is awesome.
I love this sink.
1251
00:39:35,967 --> 00:39:37,767
[Melody] Oh, my gosh.
Look at this. It's so big.
1252
00:39:37,767 --> 00:39:39,767
-[Chris] Yeah.
-You can take a bath in here.
1253
00:39:39,767 --> 00:39:41,500
[Jonathan] All right.
Let's try it out.
1254
00:39:45,166 --> 00:39:46,000
[Jonathan] I also love
the color of the countertop.
1255
00:39:47,166 --> 00:39:48,166
It's very unique.
1256
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:49,266
-[Melody] Yeah.
-[Chris] Yep.
1257
00:39:49,266 --> 00:39:50,867
[Jonathan] You have a state
of the art kitchen.
1258
00:39:50,867 --> 00:39:52,667
-You have a stylish kitchen...
-[Chris] Yeah.
1259
00:39:52,667 --> 00:39:55,200
[Jonathan]
...but most importantly,
you have a family kitchen.
1260
00:39:55,266 --> 00:39:57,100
I can see a lot of time
being spent in here together.
1261
00:39:57,166 --> 00:39:58,200
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
1262
00:39:58,266 --> 00:40:00,100
But to tie it all up
in a pretty bow...
1263
00:40:00,166 --> 00:40:01,233
[Chris] Yeah.
1264
00:40:01,266 --> 00:40:03,166
...I want you to see
your beautiful living room.
1265
00:40:03,166 --> 00:40:04,667
Your new living room.
1266
00:40:04,667 --> 00:40:06,867
-Oh, wow.
-Oh, my Goodness.
1267
00:40:06,867 --> 00:40:08,066
-Yes.
-[Chris] Wow.
1268
00:40:08,066 --> 00:40:10,000
[Melody] This is beautiful.
1269
00:40:10,066 --> 00:40:11,967
- Wow.
-[Chris] This is amazing.
1270
00:40:11,967 --> 00:40:13,200
[Melody] Oh, my gosh.
Look, Chris.
1271
00:40:13,266 --> 00:40:15,166
Look how they put
all the little pictures
in there.
1272
00:40:15,166 --> 00:40:15,300
Look how they put
all the little pictures
in there.
1273
00:40:15,367 --> 00:40:16,000
Mind is blown.
1274
00:40:16,667 --> 00:40:18,367
[Drew] This is really set up
for entertaining.
1275
00:40:18,367 --> 00:40:19,867
[Chris] It's all connected.
1276
00:40:19,867 --> 00:40:22,500
{\an8}The family room,
the dining room, the kitchen.
1277
00:40:22,567 --> 00:40:23,967
[Melody] And the kids
are now at the age
1278
00:40:23,967 --> 00:40:25,767
where they want to have
all their friends come over.
1279
00:40:25,767 --> 00:40:28,300
-Yeah.
-And so this is...
this is great.
1280
00:40:28,367 --> 00:40:29,600
-Yeah.
-[Drew] From the kitchen
1281
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,867
put out food, people
can access it from this side.
1282
00:40:31,867 --> 00:40:33,600
[Melody]
The surveillance area,
I'll just be there.
1283
00:40:33,667 --> 00:40:34,867
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
-Monitoring.
1284
00:40:34,867 --> 00:40:36,100
They're not
getting away with nothing.
1285
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:37,800
[Melody] That's right.
That's right.
1286
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,867
-[Chris] Oh, this is...
-[Melody] Oh, look at this.
It look so cushy.
1287
00:40:39,867 --> 00:40:41,967
-Oh, it's so good.
-Oh, this is so comfortable.
1288
00:40:41,967 --> 00:40:43,400
[Drew] You guys
deserve cushy.
1289
00:40:43,467 --> 00:40:44,867
-[Melody] Yes, we do.
-I'm not gonna lie,
1290
00:40:44,867 --> 00:40:45,166
you guys are so amazing.
1291
00:40:45,166 --> 00:40:46,000
you guys are so amazing.
1292
00:40:46,767 --> 00:40:48,700
The energy that you have,
1293
00:40:48,767 --> 00:40:51,467
the beautiful family
that you've raised,
1294
00:40:51,467 --> 00:40:54,100
you deserve
a finished space like this
1295
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:55,967
where the house
is giving you a big bear hug.
1296
00:40:55,967 --> 00:40:58,100
-Yeah.
-Thank you so much.
1297
00:40:58,166 --> 00:40:59,900
-Wow.
-Look...
1298
00:40:59,967 --> 00:41:01,400
-Champ's corner.
-Champ's corner.
1299
00:41:01,467 --> 00:41:02,867
[Jonathan] Champ's corner
has a new spot.
1300
00:41:02,867 --> 00:41:04,767
[Melody] That is awesome.
1301
00:41:04,767 --> 00:41:06,600
[Jonathan] You probably have
to upgrade Champs Corner
1302
00:41:06,667 --> 00:41:08,066
year after year.
1303
00:41:08,066 --> 00:41:09,767
We actually took the wood
from the old front door
1304
00:41:09,767 --> 00:41:10,867
and used it for those shelves.
1305
00:41:10,867 --> 00:41:12,100
-Did you really?
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
1306
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:13,367
-That's your old front door.
-Really?
1307
00:41:13,367 --> 00:41:14,767
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
-Is it really? Wow.
1308
00:41:14,767 --> 00:41:15,166
Kind of a nice nod instead
of it all going to a landfill.
1309
00:41:15,166 --> 00:41:16,000
Kind of a nice nod instead
of it all going to a landfill.
1310
00:41:17,667 --> 00:41:19,667
So you have a lounging area
for a little reading.
1311
00:41:19,667 --> 00:41:21,100
-[Melody] Yeah.
-[Chris] I love that.
1312
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:22,767
[Melody] That has
my name all over it.
1313
00:41:22,767 --> 00:41:25,500
I have to fight the kids.
I already know it.
1314
00:41:25,567 --> 00:41:27,767
I love seeing you guys
so happy in this space.
1315
00:41:27,767 --> 00:41:29,667
I mean, you know, we're always
nervous doing a design
1316
00:41:29,667 --> 00:41:30,767
to make sure did
we get it right?
1317
00:41:30,767 --> 00:41:31,967
{\an8}-[Melody] Oh, you really did.
-[Chris] For sure.
1318
00:41:31,967 --> 00:41:33,100
[Melody] This feels like home.
1319
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:34,200
This is home.
1320
00:41:34,266 --> 00:41:35,567
[Drew] Being here
to be a part of this process
1321
00:41:35,567 --> 00:41:37,000
almost makes us
feel like family and...
1322
00:41:37,066 --> 00:41:38,567
-You guys are family.
-[Drew] Oh, thank you.
1323
00:41:38,567 --> 00:41:39,700
Yeah.
1324
00:41:39,767 --> 00:41:41,467
It's been a joy to be
a part of this with you guys.
1325
00:41:41,467 --> 00:41:43,867
[Chris] It's been a pleasure.
Thank you so much
for everything.
1326
00:41:43,867 --> 00:41:45,166
-You've been sprinting
for however many years.
-[Melody] Yes.
1327
00:41:45,166 --> 00:41:45,900
-You've been sprinting
for however many years.
-[Melody] Yes.
1328
00:41:45,967 --> 00:41:46,000
-Now you have that house
that can let you stop.
-[Chris] Yeah.
1329
00:41:48,166 --> 00:41:49,266
Have your little cool down
1330
00:41:49,266 --> 00:41:50,867
and then start the next
chapter in your lives.
1331
00:41:50,867 --> 00:41:52,100
-Yes. Thank you. Yes.
-Definitely.
1332
00:41:52,166 --> 00:41:53,867
-That's the idea for sure.
-[Melody] That's exactly.
1333
00:41:53,867 --> 00:41:57,600
But it doesn't feel
totally complete.
1334
00:41:57,667 --> 00:41:58,767
We need to get the girls.
1335
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,467
-Let's get the girls.
-[Chris] Let's go get them.
1336
00:42:00,467 --> 00:42:02,100
[Drew] Bring them in
and and see what they...
1337
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:03,600
[Chris] I can't wait
to see their reaction.
1338
00:42:03,667 --> 00:42:04,767
[Melody] They'll be
so excited.
1339
00:42:04,767 --> 00:42:09,400
We cannot wait to just...
just use up this home
1340
00:42:09,467 --> 00:42:11,467
in every way possible.
1341
00:42:11,467 --> 00:42:13,367
[both] Oh, hello.
1342
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:15,166
-[Melody] What do you think?
-[Drew] How are you?
1343
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:16,000
-[Melody] What do you think?
-[Drew] How are you?
1344
00:42:16,767 --> 00:42:18,500
[Arianna] It looks
so different.
1345
00:42:18,567 --> 00:42:19,967
I think it's very important
for the girls
1346
00:42:19,967 --> 00:42:21,967
to see everything
we put into this home
1347
00:42:21,967 --> 00:42:25,266
because we want them
to know that we just
love them so much.
1348
00:42:25,266 --> 00:42:27,166
We love the life
that we've created,
1349
00:42:27,166 --> 00:42:32,367
and this home is for them to
enjoy throughout the future.
1350
00:42:34,266 --> 00:42:39,100
I just feel like we've been
waiting a very long time...
1351
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:42,000
-Yeah.
-...to get to this point
1352
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,100
to be able to share
this beautiful space
together as a family.
1353
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:45,166
{\an8}This is such a happy home
1354
00:42:45,166 --> 00:42:46,000
{\an8}This is such a happy home
1355
00:42:47,066 --> 00:42:49,667
{\an8}and you guys have
such a bright energy
as well as a family.
1356
00:42:49,667 --> 00:42:52,500
{\an8}So I'm excited that the home
now matches the family
1357
00:42:52,567 --> 00:42:53,567
{\an8}that lives in it.
1358
00:42:53,567 --> 00:42:55,100
{\an8}So we will get out
of your hair,
1359
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:57,767
{\an8}show your home,
and we'll be here
for the first house party.
