[Jenny] We're headed down to meet the Mooney family.
Gabby and her fiance Gray.
We plan to have the wedding right here.
-How pretty would that be if you had a wedding right there? -That's gorgeous.
[Jenny] With that as the background.
Gabby recently had emergency brain surgery
and is back home.
In Arkansas now, has decided to stay here
and make this home again.
[Dave] So, her brother, country music artist, Shay Mooney,
wanted to do something special for Gabby,
and so he's funding the renovation.
Every day that goes by,
I'm a little bit more excited.
[Jenny] And with our help, they just turned an old barn on the property into a home.
This space is where Gabby is going to live
until the wedding, and until the main house is finished.
We have worked on a lot of tight deadlines,
but we have never ever had a wedding as our deadline.
-[man] Do you take Gabriel to be your wedded wife? -[Gray] I do.
[Jenny] So now, this was y'all's grandmother's house, right?
-[Shay and Jenny] Great grandma! -[Gabby] Yes.
-[Dave] Should we go inside? -[Shay] Let's do it.
All right, let's go in then.
-Okay. -Let's do it.
Gabby has decided to move in to her great grandmother's old home.
[Dave] And to be able to renovate their great grandmother's home,
that they have so many memories in,
yeah, we were all about it.
[Jenny] All right. This is the kitchen, huh?
[Dave] The original kitchen.
-Aw, it's cute. -Yeah. And this is the original cabinets,
-the original hardware and everything. So... -[Jenny] It's all original.
Okay, so this is the little kitchen.
But this will be the new front door right here.
-Right. -[Shay] Yes.
[Jenny] So, the kitchen's gone.
[Gabby] This is entry.
[Dave] Doesn't it blow your mind?
-It's been a while. -And your grandmother could probably feed...
-[Gabby] Yeah. -[Dave] ...20 or 30 people from this little tiny kitchen.
-Absolutely. Absolutely. -100 percent. 100 percent.
So, we are moving into my great grandma, Nobles' house.
It was built in 1946.
My mom, she kept this property.
And when I finally did say, "I'm kind of ready to come back,"
she's like, "I have the place for you."
-So... [laughs] -"Clear the house. Everyone get ready for 'em."
-She was ready. -"Here we go."
This house is so great when it comes to location.
And I think the biggest reason we love this space is
it's got this gorgeous pasture in the back.
More than anything, it's just being next to the family.
Yeah, my great grandma's house. I remember growing up here.
I look across the street and I see where we grew up playing basketball,
and being able to do this is really a dream come true,
to do something for our sister Gabby and Graylan.
It's just gonna be a really, really special thing for all of us.
So, this will be the entry.
So, what is over here? What do we got here?
Uh, come on over.
-Okay. -It's a big problem.
-We're already have to find a spot for a kitchen. -Yes.
[Gabby] Yeah, so...
-[Gabby] Okay. -[Shay] So, this was the original dining room.
-[Jenny] Okay. -Formal dining.
Do you need a formal dining room?
We don't need a formal dining room.
[Jenny] If we can open all this up,
-this could become a nice, big entry area. -[Dave] Yeah.
Absolutely. We're so open with what this looks like,
-to be honest. -Right, okay.
[Jenny] Basically, the plan here is to get this wall out of here,
get rid of the old kitchen,
and create an entry space.
Then, we'll add a new front door.
And then, new windows, replace the flooring,
we'll paint, we'll replace the lighting.
Really just reorient the space to make it really functional for you guys.
-[Gray] Okay. -What's this here?
This is a living room.
So, this is a living room. What if--
Oh, wow, this is big.
And you've already done some of my work for me?
-I'm very into darker colors for like, small spaces. -Yeah. Yeah.
-So, lighter everywhere else is the main color. Yep. -[Gabby] Right.
Perfect. Okay. So, this is the current porch,
which is the front door now,
which will not be the front door anymore.
-Yeah. -[Gabby] Right.
[Jenny] But it is nice to have a little porch out here.
This is a big space. Oh, I love those church pews.
-[Shay] That is from... -[Gabby] Yes.
-[Shay] ...where we grew up, going to church. -[Gabby] Yeah.
[Shay] My mom doesn't get rid of much.
[Jenny] And we can use them somewhere. They are very special.
-[Shay] Absolutely. -[Jenny] That's amazing.
I wonder if this becomes y'all's bedroom.
You could have like, your own little porch off your bedroom.
-That would be really nice. -That would be so sick.
[Jenny] We put some French doors, have your own little patio,
-off your bedroom. -[Dave] Yeah.
But if we make this into your main suite,
how would you like it to feel?
-So, I am a bath person. -Okay.
Like, I am huge with baths.
He's obviously not.
-[laughs] 'Cause he's really tall. -He's definitely not.
-I don't fit in baths. -He can't fit in a bath.
He's not a bath person.
I'm a bath person. I'm nice and compact.
-[Jenny laughs] Yeah. -And, so I love my little baths, rub-a-dubbin'.
And... [laughing]
"Rub-a-Dubbin'". [laughing]
[Gabby] Rub-a-dubbin' in the tubbin'.
[Jenny laughing]
Okay, so you got your rub-a-dub.
-Rub-a-dub, yeah. -And you want a shower.
-Okay. -And a shower.
I have a lot of clothes,
and hats and boots, and all the things.
Okay, so you need a big closet.
-Yes. -A bath. A shower.
-Yeah. -[Jenny] Yeah.
And the ceiling is eight foot tall ceilings.
-Yes. -So I know, like, on the outside,
this does vault up.
-So, maybe look at that. -[Jenny] I love that.
Now, is this enough space though, to make a whole suite?
There's another bedroom right behind this.
[Jenny] Wow. Oh my gosh, this is a big room.
[Shay] It's bigger than I remember.
This is plenty big,
because you could take this, and then look,
there's this little porch.
That goes all the way back.
So, you could take all of this space,
-put it towards either your bathroom or your closet. -Yeah.
-This is really nice.
And then, this portion of this bedroom will become a new bedroom.
-Right. -But I wonder if we can make it bigger.
And I mean, if we're taking out walls, this wall could come out
and this bedroom could bump up.
It gives you more space.
But you have a little bathroom.
-And then, another bedroom in here. -[Dave] Yeah.
[Jenny] So, that gives you three bedrooms.
-I mean that, definitely... -[Gabby] Yeah.
[Jenny] Now we'll have three bedrooms, two baths.
We're checking stuff off the list.
-We're getting there. -Love it.
[Jenny] Okay so, plan would be, we'd create two bedrooms here
with a bathroom in between.
So, you have a full bath there that's accessible from the rest of the house.
Their old living room will now become the main suite,
so we will create a bedroom,
potentially vaulting the ceilings if we can.
We'll refinish the floor,
get your new lighting, we'll paint,
give you as much space in the bedroom as possible.
All right, so then, for the main suite bathroom,
we will get this wall out of here.
We'll take some space from bedroom and porch behind here
to get you as big of a bathroom and closet.
-[Gabby] Whoo! -[Gray] Sounds good.
Sounds so cool.
The only problem is, we have not checked off the two most important spaces,
which are the kitchen and the living room.
Yes.
Okay, so when we were outside, though, there was the carport,
and it looked like a garage.
-Let's go look at it. Let's go check it out. -[Dave] Let's go there.
-Okay, you don't need this garage? -[Gabby] No.
[Jenny] Is what you're saying.
So, this could be a really nice kitchen.
And if we took, you know, the width of this same room
out onto the carport,
I mean, this would be an amazing living and kitchen,
living room, kitchen...
-[Dave] Yeah. -...dining in the middle.
And what if we put some doors here and put a big back porch here?
Oh, my goodness. This would be gorgeous.
[Jenny] It'd be so nice. Cover this,
and you sit out here with this beautiful view.
This is awesome.
What are you guys hoping to see in your kitchen?
What would you like?
-I would love a lot of light. -Okay.
-Open. Yep. -[Gabby] And so,
-open kitchen and an island sounds fabulous. -[Jenny] Okay, yeah.
-More counter space. -Yes.
[Jenny] So, the plan for the kitchen is to take over the garage.
And we will have hardwood flooring here to match the rest of the house.
Then we'll add as many windows as possible
to capture as much light as possible.
New cabinets, new countertops, new lighting.
You have your island, then a dining table,
and then a living room off of the dining room.
So, it's all one big open space.
And then, we'll have a door here
that will lead out to a little back covered patio
where you can spend time looking at the beautiful pasture.
[Gray] That'd be beautiful.
You guys.
-We actually wrote-- -I can get emotional all day, guys.
We wrote a song about you guys that we'll play later,
-that we haven't started on yet. -[Jenny] Wow.
[all laughing]
I mean, every single wall in this house,
for the most part, is moving, changing.
It is going to be a completely different house.
And they have a wedding coming up in a few months.
-This is very stressful. -[Dave] It's gotta look beautiful.
-It's got to be done. -[Jenny] And it has to be done.
[Dave] Today, we're headed down to start on demolition
of Gabby and Gray's House.
-[Shay] Well, hello. -[Dave] What's up, guys?
-Here we are. -Good to see you.
Well, good to see you, buddy.
-Hi! -How you doing?
-Hi! We're back. -Hey!
-Rick! -Been too long. Good to see you.
I like the Berry Farm hat. Nice.
Hello!
-How are you? -Good to see you guys.
It's great to see you.
Hey, guys. So, this is my brother, Matt.
My other brother, Joe.
-How are you, brother? -Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Joe. How are you?
-[Jenny] This is Gray. -Gray, nice to meet you.
-Joe. Good to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
I mean, I love this family.
We've got Shay. We've got Rick,
-Shay's dad who owns a construction company. -[Jenny] Yeah.
[Dave] We got Cody, who works for Rick's construction company
-and lives right next door. -[Jenny] Yeah.
And we got Call. We got the little man.
-He is... -Cowboy Call.
-Are you helping us today? -Yes, ma'am.
Oh, buddy. I love it. He's so cute!
-So, there's a lot of demo to be done in this house. -Yeah. So I think if we can,
as much of a shell as we can make the inside.
-All right. Let's go to work. -All right. Let's get to work.
-Let's do it. -Let's get it.
Grab some saws.
[Jenny] It's not that big of a house,
but we're literally changing...
-[Dave] Gutting it? -[Jenny] ...everything about it.
Yes. So our focus today is getting the house cleared out,
getting all the cabinetry, getting all the walls,
opening it up, so we can really visualize what's gonna happen in the house.
Might as well go into these walls that are hollow
and figure out what's in them.
Hey Larry, let's look in there and see what we got.
[Jenny] It's hollow.
-Nothing. 16 inches of space. -Wow.
All right, let's keep going.
Once we've opened up all these walls,
it'll be this amazing entryway.
Oh, look at this, you guys.
-[Jenny] What? -[Dave] Come, look at this.
-It's like an old shelf in there. -[Jenny] Oh, yeah.
So, I mean, you know, this house, it's been added to and built upon over decades,
and I feel like we've just opened a time capsule.
-That's in high demand. -Look at that.
-Look at the carpeting. -Oh, my God.
Dude, I remember this.
It might be coming back into style.
-We can only hope and pray that that does not come back. -[both chuckling]
This drywall's so brittle.
Great news! We got another cavity that is free space
that is not a giant brick structural wall
that is gonna cost us a lot of money.
And I'll tell you something, we're getting somewhere now.
We're getting there.
We do have to make a hole in between
-the main suite... -That would be very satisfying to do.
And this one too, just so we can kind of see what the space is...
-Yep. -...that we've got.
The wall separating the two bedrooms,
that will become the whole main suite.
Look at that.
Ready?
-[exclaims] Oh! -Okay!
-Look! Look how open it is. -Oh, wow.
Gray, hey, just think about this.
You're gonna have at least a two by two closet right here.
-Perfect. -[all laughing]
That's all I need.
Like batting 1000 right now.
I feel like the ceiling in that main bedroom is our last real big hurdle.
-Yeah. -We really want to vault this ceiling.
I'm hoping that this is just a true original gable.
-We can open it up and then, vault it. -Yep.
That's what Gabby wants, and Jenny.
-But it feels like something stronger. -[laughing]
Insulation up there.
-Bingo. -[Jenny] Let me see?
Jenny, I think you're gonna love this.
-[Jenny] Let me see? -Jenny, I think you're gonna love this.
You've got one by eight pine we can expose like a wood roof.
[Jenny] Oh, it's so pretty. I love it.
Love it!
We need to just leave that exposed.
That's so much character there.
I didn't know was gonna be there at all.
-So we're going? -Yes.
Everything's going great inside the house.
I'm so excited.
-[Dave] We have opened up all these walls. -[Jenny] The walls, yeah.
[Dave] We got a lot done.
[Jenny] Demo is done inside the house.
Now, Rick and his crew have started framing.
The main bedroom, the main bathroom,
the new main closet, starting to really come together.
In the entryway,
we've decided on some arched openings.
We're gonna create some built-in for these arched openings.
Shay told me his grandparents have an old walnut tree on their property.
-Ooh. -I know. That we can use to make into something.
So, I was thinking here we'll have a walnut top for the lowers,
and then the shelves are made out of that same walnut...
-[Dave] Oh, I love that. -[Jenny] ...from the parents' property.
[Dave] Rick, you in here?
-Look at the ceiling. Oh, my gosh! Hi! -[Rick] How's it going?
-Good to see you guys. -[Jenny] You too.
-Hey, Dave. -Did you have dinner on this floor last night?
-Yeah, it's clean. -It's so clean.
This house is far from our home,
so we're driving a lot further than normal,
from Bentonville to Natural Dam, Arkansas.
[Dave] It's about an hour and a half.
So, we can't be here every day.
So, we need someone on the ground, working.
And who better than Gabby's, the homeowners', dad?
-And now, it's time to make some decisions really quickly. -Yeah. Really quickly.
But it's also just a chance to walk through with Rick.
So hopefully,
things can just keep moving, even when we're back in Bentonville.
So, the original plan,
we're going to be doing a gable to match this other gable over here.
-Yep. -And the plan was from here to that back wall,
-that's the full area right there. -Right. Exactly.
What I think would be good
is slide this whole thing this direction.
-Ooh! I love that. -And line it up with the front over here.
-Okay? -See, I mean, it's like you take the things in my brain
-and you just say them. -Yeah?
And you make them happen. I love this.
-These two... -These two--
-I think we're gonna have to start doing this now. -Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[all laughing]
[Jenny] Okay, guys. So, the plan outside,
first of all, we're gonna move the entrance from the current front of the house,
to the side of the house.
And so, we're gonna have two bump outs.
We're gonna have a front porch.
We'll have matching windows and there'll be symmetry.
And we're gonna get a new roof, new siding,
obviously update landscaping, new lighting.
This is gonna be a big project.
-I love it. This is so good. -All right. Good deal.
[Jenny] Gabby's currently living in the in-law suite.
We're cruising along.
-She's not going to have to stay there very long. -No, she's not.
[playing harmonica]
-This is crazy. -I'm just speechless. Yeah.
[Gabby] I can't believe this is our life right now.
But I can't wait to marry you.
And I can't wait to get into our new house.
But, oh, my gosh, like,
-I'm still overwhelmed right now. -[Gray] Yeah.
[Dave] At the Mooney house,
we are demoing the entire garage.
We are reframing the room where the kitchen and living space will be,
to better achieve what Gabby and Gray want
in their new kitchen and living area.
In the original plan,
on the other side of the property,
we were going to keep a part of the porch.
But as we got into framing, we realized that we should just take the whole porch
and add it to the square footage
because it will make this interior room so much bigger.
So, we called Gabby and Gray and they were on board with the idea.
The great thing about a covered porch is,
a covered porch is pretty much done when you put the siding on.
[Jenny] Yeah.
Closing in this porch added so much square footage.
This is amazing.
I know they liked the porch, but this is
going to be the best little sitting room.
This is currently a window, but could we make this a door
and then, put like, a little porch out here for them?
-I think she would like that probably. -[Jenny] Yeah.
-So, a little closet for Gray. -That's not a little closet.
That's bigger than my closet.
Wait until you see Gabby's closet and you'll know why I said "little".
A gigantic bathroom now.
-They have tub. -[Rick] Yeah.
-Shower, which is a huge shower. -[Rick] Right.
I mean, this is phenomenal.
Shower, water closet.
-And then, right here will be the big vanity, right? Yeah. -[Rick] Yep.
-Okay. And then, are you kidding me? -This is ridiculous.
-It is. -It's ridiculous.
[Jenny] Are you kidding me?
-[chuckles] Yeah. -[Jenny] I wanna move into Gabby's closet.
-[Rick] Yeah. -[Dave] It's like a hall.
-I mean, it's a meeting place. -[sighs]
-It is. -It's a Community Center.
This is very exciting. [exclaims softly] Ah!
-Okay. -This opened up so nice.
-Look at this! -Yeah.
I'm so happy we removed the garage and vaulted the ceiling 16 feet.
It was the right choice.
What an incredible space for the kitchen and living area.
-It's amazing! -[chuckles]
I know we had some questions about the ceiling.
So, we need to make it feel like it has some character.
Like, natural old beams would be amazing
-and it would make it feel a little more cozy. -[Rick] Yeah.
-I'll take that on, yeah. -Wouldn't that be cool though like, old timbers in here?
With a stone fireplace set between two windows. That looks amazing.
But you mentioned that Gabby really wants a place
-for the wood stove. Okay. -A wood stove that they can cook on.
[Jenny and Rick] Yeah.
And if we're doing a wood stove though, where does it go?
I know. All right, so let's just think on that.
-Okay, so this is gonna be the moment right here. -[Rick] Yeah.
[Jenny] Because that's the view.
So, I really feel like this is all just giant window
and we arch it so that just kind of give it an extra little cool factor.
-Yeah. -And it ties in with the arched bookshelves up front.
I just don't know that we get it done in time for the wedding.
I mean, getting standard windows is hard enough right now.
But a giant round, eight foot window?
Hey, Jenny, we can make it happen.
[both laughing]
[Dave] We only have seven weeks until the wedding,
and a window like this could take at least 12 weeks.
So, we're just gonna try to get a rush on this thing.
-This guy. "No, no, no." -[Rick chuckles]
-Debbie Downer. -I'm just living in reality.
-I'm sorry. His baby girl is getting married... -[laughing]
-...and he's gonna finish this house... -There you go.
...and it's gonna be amazing.
-[Rick chuckling] -Right, Rick? I love it.
We're at the Mooney house today.
We got stuff going on. Electricians are here,
plumbers are here. It's just moving along.
The windows aren't here yet, but we got the doors.
We're actually replacing where that one window was in the main bedroom,
to, basically, a triple door.
It's got a slider on each side. It's gonna be really cool.
In order to do that, though, we've got to actually cut out where the old window was.
Pure horsepower, ripping these things out of there.
-Should we go get the door? -Let's go get the door.
[Dave grunting]
There we go.
Man, it looks really good from in here.
-It's beautiful. It's gonna be such a nice little room. -See if they cut for that.
[Dave] We have a ton of things going on at the house,
but I want to make a top secret project for Gabby's wedding.
[Jenny] I love it.
Oh, it's so pretty.
Yeah, just got a few more boards.
Elevate it eight foot out of the ground.
Yeah and then they'll stand underneath. I think it's gonna be nice.
-Yeah, I love it. Is it walnut too? -[Dave] It is.
And you know how Rick does stuff, I've gotta step up my game
so we can finish by the wedding,
-which is in nine weeks. -Love it. Cool.
Okay, so you have your lowers,
-you have a cabinet that goes down to the countertop. -Mm-hm, yeah.
[man] Hey, how's it going?
-Long drive here. -It's the man of the hour.
-Hi, Chris. -Hey, Chris.
-So nice to meet you. -Great to meet you.
Chris is here today. We're gonna talk through the cabinetry layout,
and I'm hoping we can figure out a plan for the stove.
-This wall, this is where we're gonna have the range. -Okay.
-Right? -And also-- Yes.
And then, now on the either side of the range,
-I think we do the pull out for utensils and spices. -Okay.
And range, hood.
And then right around here, we'll have-- They really want a wood burning stove.
So, how do we build this in so it looks like it's not just a wood burning stove
that we stuck over here, and it feels like part of the kitchen?
We gotta think on that. Just as long as it looks built in.
I'm just afraid you might be running out of room.
-We don't know yet. -By the time you take four feet out of this,
try to put cabinets on each side and then try to put this unit
far enough away, doing the arch around and all that,
are we gonna have enough room?
Well, here's the deal. Now that I'm standing right here,
-okay look, over here, this is the dining room. -Yeah.
-So, it's just a stove. -[Rick] That's what I think.
Yeah.
I really wanted the stove integrated into the cabinetry somehow
so that it didn't feel random,
until I was standing there and I realized,
"Okay, well, actually, we should make the kitchen line up with the end
on the other side so it's all symmetrical."
And then, we can just place the stove over here and it'll be part of the dining room.
So I had that idea, and it was a really good one.
Sometimes you just have to be quiet
-and let Jenny get there on her own. -[Jenny] I did say--
Something that you've known the whole time.
I just had to get there.
-I had to talk myself into it. -Exactly. 100 percent.
No other like, big to-dos or surprises?
-This is the biggest one. -A whole room of cabinets somewhere.
-Well... In the closet. -[laughs]
-But we'll talk about that later. Okay, thanks, Chris. -Okay. [chuckles]
-Thanks. -Appreciate you, man.
At Gabby and Gray's house, there is so much going on.
The windows and doors are in,
and we have that custom arched window.
We put in a rush order and Rick's guy came through for us.
That's the focal point for the kitchen.
It looks amazing.
[Dave] All the drywall is up in all the reconfigured spaces.
[Jenny] While a light colored stone is being used to brighten up the fireplace
and for the backsplash in the kitchen.
[Dave] We've got brand new flooring going in throughout the house.
[Jenny] Side porch is going up.
The roof looks amazing. It looks just so good.
And now, it's time to keep moving forward on this house.
We've got a lot to do and make some more progress there.
[Dave] All right, Luke, let's open it up.
All right. We got a lot of stuff to carry in here.
-[Chris] Wait for it. -Look at that. Plantators get taters.
[both men laugh]
Will you carry that? [chuckles] Thanks. Thanks.
Good job, Luke.
Go.
[Jenny] So, we're at Gabby and Gray's house.
The kitchen cabinets are being delivered.
It's going to be beautiful having this wood
against the stone. Oh, my gosh.
this kitchen is gonna be incredible, with the big window.
Luke's here helping today.
Our babysitter isn't feeling well
and he loves coming to the job site and helping out.
[Dave chuckles] Good job, Luke.
Good job.
Holy moly. That's a lot of cabinets.
Should we start it here?
Literally, all hands on deck
trying to get this house done before the wedding.
You know, we got all these cabinets to install.
Man, it's a lot of cabinets.
I mean, we're filling out a kitchen.
So, we can get this thing templated and move on.
[Jenny] They're getting married here.
-This is very stressful. -[Dave] It's gonna look beautiful.
-It's gotta be done. -[Jenny] And it has to be done.
All right, let's keep going.
[Jenny] We only have five weeks left.
[Dave] So, I've got wood from the Mooney place.
This is some of the walnut
from Cindy's parents.
They just had on their property.
Right in the entryway of Gabby and Gray's house,
there's two round nooks, that Jenny wants to do
a walnut cabinet base with floating walnut shelves.
I'll square off the edges,
run some steel dowels into the wall.
Cut these to length.
We're gonna get them all mounted and set in place
And it's gonna be really cool.
I mean, this walnut, it doesn't need anything else.
It's got enough character on its own.
Their family has been here for several generations.
This was their grandparents' house.
Tons of history.
So, any way we can infuse that back in the house,
we're all about it.
It's cool to use different materials.
Walnut is such a rich and pretty color.
Once I find where the studs are,
we'll drill in the brackets and get these things installed.
We're at Gray and Gabby's house today,
and this house, holy cow,
-from where we started... -Yeah, it's amazing.
[Dave] ...to where we have come, it's so cool.
But we have a lot to do today.
[Jenny] But we don't have a lot of time to do it.
We now have stone all over the front of the house.
[Dave] And the tile is going up in the main bathroom.
I'm feeling really good about where we're at.
Everyone is working their butt off to get this thing done.
I'm working in the front entryway
with the walnut off of their grandparents' farm
that we have repurposed and we've made some floating shelves
and some walnut bases to really fill out the alcove.
Okay, this, the main bedroom. Remember, we found this wood.
-Man, having this wood is just... -[Jenny] I know.
What a cool story.
So, Shay's here.
He has been out of town for a bit.
So, I'm taking him around, showing him everything.
-Showing him where his money's been spent. -[Jenny chuckles] Yeah!
That turned out so cool.
[Jenny] The fact that Shay really wants to renovate
their great grandmother's home for his sister, Gabby,
and her fiance, soon to be husband.
[kisses] Beautiful. I just love it.
[laughing] Oh, my Lord.
This is one of the best closets I've ever seen.
-I know. -I feel like, for the size of the house...
-[Jenny] Incredible. -...it's unbelievable.
It's just so beautiful.
-[Shay] This little entryway is gonna be so magical. -[Jenny] Amazing.
-I know. -But I can just see it right now,
-of just being able to place family photos right here. -Yes.
-Exactly. -I mean, it literally is, you're walking into history.
That's what makes this whole project just awesome.
-All right. -I mean, this is...
-This is so cool. -I need him. He needs to help.
-Okay. -All right, get to work.
-I'm gonna check on Luke. -All right.
-Take care, Jenny. -He's out, playing in the dirt.
[Dave] This is walnut from family farm, man.
-Your family farm. -[Shay] That is so cool.
-So, I don't like these burned edges. Got it like that. -Yeah. That's nice.
-[Dave] That look good? -[Shay] I like that.
And we've gotta go down about...
...well, about six or seven inches. Eight inches.
-Look at you. Look at you! -I mean, look at that.
-All right, you can just hang that. -[Shay] Whoo!
[Dave] I'm gonna get some pocket screws to put in the side.
We are setting Gabby and Gray up for a wonderful marriage
and a ton of success in this home.
[Jenny] We now have stone all over the front of the house
and we need a siding color.
This one's nice. It's a really pretty...
-I think that looks expensive. -[Jenny] All the siding,
trim, soffit, fascia, in this granite-graphite color.
-That was easy. That's awesome. -I love that.
[Dave sighs] Gosh, the exterior, everything is turning out so beautifully.
[Jenny] We definitely wanna make sure we have some nice landscaping
where people are gonna be walking and you're gonna have a wedding.
In the kitchen, a white quartz countertop is going in
and it's gonna look great on that new island.
The guys are working on a custom built-in cabinetry
for Gabby 's closet.
And we're installing some inviting new lighting.
You know what? This house, it's gonna be beautiful.
And we have got a top secret project for Gabby's wedding.
We're at Rick Mooney's house putting the finishing touches on the chapel.
Luckily, Rick has a shop and is willing to let us stash it here
until we're ready for the nuptials.
Oh, yeah. This is gonna be great.
[Jenny] The wedding is only a month away,
and there's a lot to do.
[thudding]
[Jenny] We're here at Gabby and Gray's house.
We had gone back and forth on the living room
and kitchen ceiling.
Really long, big beams are hard to find.
They're expensive.
And most of the time, they're not the look Jenny wants.
But Rick, he solved it for us.
How do you get that hand hewn look?
See, I probably would have just grabbed that saw there,
but yours looks a lot better.
-Saws are for people that don't know how to use axes. -[laughing]
[laughs]
[Dave] All right, we ready?
I got this half.
[grunts]
[grunting] Well, mine's not going around it.
Yeah. It's not going around.
Mine's not fitting around it. [grunts]
Got a problem here.
Whoa.
[Jenny chuckling]
Stop it right now. [laughs, gasps]
Yeah. It's not going around.
No, we need to take some more off the block.
Let me just back this out. Yeah, if we take quarter inch off the block.
All right, that ought to do it.
It's good?
I'm glad we didn't make those any bigger.
That was heavy.
All right, guys, I love it.
[Dave] Not only do we wanna finish the house by the wedding.
[Jenny] Now we are adding in a couple of special touches
to the wedding ceremony.
Last few feet here.
-That's good. That's far enough. -That's good?
-That's heavy. -Yeah.
All right, so these are the pews from your old church?
-Yep. -Amazing.
When we first walked through the house with Gabby and Gray,
they had church pews on the porch.
So, these church pews are old.
They are very important to their family.
They have so much history. Her grandma sat on these pews.
And we definitely wanted to keep them.
But we need to sand them down. We need to give them a little love.
-Take a seat and see how it feels. -Yeah.
-Nice, huh? -So, you ready for this?
Not the sanding, the wedding.
-[Jenny] It's your baby girl. -It's my baby.
-[Jenny] Oh... -Yeah.
Waited 34 years for this.
Aw! Makes me teary.
Should we start?
All right, let's try some water.
-Whoo! -[Rick] I know, yeah.
[Dave] You're gonna go back to about the same if you seal it.
[Jenny] Oh, yeah. No.
I think the natural is pretty,
-because otherwise, you get that orange color. -I agree.
-Orangish-red. Yeah. -I agree.
-I like it. -Yeah.
Bring it back, Dave. Bring it back.
I got marching orders.
[Jenny] At Gabby and Gray's house, we have a finished painting the siding
this darker charcoal.
We are finishing up all the last minute details.
It's almost time for Gabby and Gray to come home.
For the little sitting room,
found this amazing wallpaper.
Soon as I saw that wallpaper, I knew it was for Gabby.
I knew it'd be perfect. Absolutely perfect.
And it is.
All the appliances are panel ready,
so they have cabinet fronts,
so you don't see any appliances, except for the range.
We really want everyone's eye to be drawn to the window above the sink.
That's the stunner.
[beeping]
Gabby's had a rough year, to say the least.
-She has. -She had a really terrifying health crisis,
and she had brain surgery.
But now they're in this season of celebration.
They've got a wedding. A lot of great things are happening
for Gabby and Gray.
[Jenny] Don't you love this entryway, babe?
-It's amazing. -[Dave] Incredible.
[Jenny] So pretty. I love it.
My favorite light.
It's pretty exciting that we got to be a small part of this.
-Right here, babe? -Yes.
[Dave] To top it all off, this renovation, it's a gift.
The Mooney family coming together
to give this gift to Gabby and Gray.
[Jenny] Does feel very different from when they turned over a house,
to now it feels like a home.
-Look how pretty it is. -[Dave] The view.
I love this kitchen so much.
-All right, we gotta go, babe. -Yeah, meet you out front.
-Their wedding is just... -Two days away.
What, two days away now?
So, we are literally wrapping this up in the nick of time.
[Jenny] All right, it's time.
Gabby is staying next door.
Gray has come over from the farmhouse,
so Jenny and I are gonna get them with umbrellas.
-Hello! -Hi, guys!
-[Dave] Are you ready? -[Gray laughing]
[Gabby] I am so ready.
-[Jenny] Ready to see your house? -[Gray] Sure am.
Even though Gabby has been living next door,
she has been really good about not looking at the house.
-[Dave] We know you've been driving by the outside some. -Yes!
-But what do you think? Tell me. -Oh, my goodness. It's insane.
-It's insane. This is crazy. -Holy cow.
Just the front of the house. I love it how everything's...
[Gabby] The landscaping.
Oh, my gosh.
[Jenny] Do you like the stone?
I am obsessed with the stone, guys.
[Jenny] First, our plan was just to have little touches of stone
[Gabby] Right.
[Jenny] So, we actually wrapped the whole front of the house in stone
so it feels like this gorgeous cottage.
Take it in, it's so beautiful.
I mean, it's so much to take in, it's unbelievable.
[Jenny] We changed the entrance over to this sideof the house,
which feels better.
And then, all the black windows.
You have the siding on the side.
We decided to go dark
to help make it feel modern.
I feel like it's super timeless too.
-[Gabby] Yes! It's stunning. -[Jenny] This house is gonna last.
[Jenny] Yeah.
-[Dave] All right, let's go check it out. -[Gabby] Oh, my God. Yes!
Oh my gosh, I'm freaking out right now.
I'm gonna cry.
-[Gray] Ready? -[Gabby] Yes, I'm ready, baby.
[gasps excitedly] Oh, my God!
-[Gray] Whoa. -[Gabby] Oh, my gosh!
-[Gray] You ready? -[Gray] Oh, my gosh! I'm freaking out right now.
I'm gonna cry.
-[Gray] Ready? -[Gabby] Yes, I'm ready, baby.
-[Gray] Three, two, one. -[gasps, sighs]
[exclaiming softly] Oh, my gosh!
[Gray] Wow.
[gasping] I am so overwhelmed.
It's gorgeous!
This isn't the same house!
-[Jenny] This is where used to be the kitchen. -[Gray] Yeah.
[Jenny] I love that it's the entryway because this is where,
-in your grandma's house... -Yes!
...where you had all the memories.
-Where the heart of the home was, right? -[Gabby] Yes.
So, this is still where you're gonna be welcoming people,
even though it's totally different,
-it still has that same heart behind it. -[Gray laughs]
The light, babe, the light!
That's what I've been looking at.
[Jenny laughs]
The arch! Like, are you kidding me?
These are actually really special.
[Dave] We got an old walnut tree from your grandparents.
-Grandma and Grandpa Reed? -[Jenny] Yes.
Made shelves and cabinets,
just to bring some of your family's history into the house.
-Oh, that's so special. -Waterworks have started.
My family's very special to me.
-[all laughing] -Go for it. You're good.
Ah!
So, let's go to the next door.
[gasps loudly] Oh, my gosh.
[Gray] Whoa!
[Gabby] Oh, my gosh, this is stunning.
These ceilings are incredible. Whoa!
[Jenny] It's original. We found this and restored it.
[Gabby] Oh, gosh. This is unbelievable!
-This used to be the living room. -[Jenny and Dave] Yes.
[Gabby] Stop it right now.
[gasping loudly]
-The wallpaper? Are you kidding? -[Gray] Whoa!
[Gabby gasping]
-Guys! -[Gray] Look at these little nooks.
-Is this amazing or what? -Oh, I could get used to this.
-It's nice. -[laughs]
-This was your covered porch. -[Jenny] Yes.
-Stop! -[Jenny] Yes!
And now we have a regular porch?
-[Dave] You have your little private deck, yeah. -[Jenny] Yes!
-[Gabby] This is nothing like it was. -[Jenny] I know!
Okay, you wanna go see your bathroom?
Ooh! Gosh, so excited.
-[gasping] Oh my... Oh, my God! -[Gray] Oh, God.
The bathroom, babe!
You're gonna fit in the shower.
[Gray] Oh, I didn't even see this.
This is huge. Wow.
I've never found a shower that I can actually stand.
-[Gabby] This is insane. -[Dave laughing]
So, you guys, I know, only wanted one sink.
We have this giant vanity.
-[Gabby] Oh, I love it. -[Jenny] You have so much counter space now.
-Oh, my gosh. Unreal. -So much storage.
[Gabby] I have a tub, guys!
That's your bath, babe.
[Gabby] This is my dream bathroom.
-[Jenny] Yay! -[Dave] Oh, that's awesome.
So then, we have another little closet for you.
[Jenny laughing]
Stop it right now!
-[laughs in disbelief] -[Gray] Oh, wow.
This is my freaking dream!
-Oh, my gosh! -[Jenny and Dave laughing]
So, we took an old bedroom
-and a bunch of the covered porch... -[Jenny] Yes, that's right.
-[Dave] ...and created all of this. -[Jenny] This was the porch.
So much storage, for hats and for your shoes.
-[Gray] Your vanity. -[Gabby] My vanity!
The mirror. Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
-[Gray] That's really cool. -[Gabby] No way.
I might have to get dressed in here. Sorry, babe.
-No. -[all laugh]
-Now if you think this is good, you still have more. -Yeah.
Oh, my gosh, babe.
[exhaling] Is this ours?
-Look at this wood stove! -The stove!
-[Gray] See these beams? -[Gabby] Oh, wow.
Oh, my gosh. Are you serious right now?
The countertop!
-[all chuckling] -[softly] Like, is that a refrigerator?
[laughing] Yes!
Yes, it's a refrigerator.
[Gabby] Oh my gosh, babe.
-Huge! -[Gabby] Huge fridge.
[Jenny] And let's talk about this window.
I can't get over this.
[Jenny] It looks out onto this beautiful pasture,
and this is gorgeous.
-[Gabby] Oh, my gosh. -[Gray] I've never been so excited to do dishes.
-With a view like this... -I know.
I will let you do them so easily.
[Gabby and Jenny laughing]
We went white oak because everything in this house
tried to keep very natural.
-We have the stone, and then the black windows. -Yep.
[Jenny] And the nice veining in the countertops,
everything really clean and simple and timeless.
-Oh, my gosh. This is... -But this is probably one of my favorite kitchens ever.
[Gabby] This is stunning.
So, you have a screened in porch.
-Both of these doors. Accordion open. -Oh, my gosh!
-[Gray] God, just doesn't stop. -[Gabby] Oh, my gosh.
It has a fan out here!
Ah! This is crazy!
I know entertaining and family is so important,
-so, kitchen, dining. -[Gabby] Oh!
[Jenny] Really just tried to break up these spaces
so they have their own individual spaces.
[Dave] Look at your living room.
-Look at the couch! -Oh, my gosh. This is so gorgeous.
It is stunning.
[Jenny] I felt like this stone fireplace had to happen
in order to have symmetry with your kitchen.
Now you have a focal point in your living room,
you have a focal point in your dining,
and then, of course, the kitchen.
This is unbelievable, you guys!
[Dave] Can you believe that this was a garage?
-Carport and garage. -[Gabby] This is insane!
You guys crushed it.
I'm so thankful for every single thing.
So much love.
It just feels like it's covered in love.
So, I know the wedding is coming up very fast.
-A couple days away. -Yes.
Worked on a few surprises for you guys
-that you'll see at the wedding. -Oh, my gosh.
But your family, the way that they are gathering around you guys,
and starting you off in this journey is amazing.
-Yes. Congratulations. -Oh, guys...
I'm rooting for you.
What a year.
[Dave] She's gone through a really rough season.
And she's super grateful for what
-Shay, his wife, Hannah, Rick... -[Jenny] Erica Gabby's sister.
...and what the entire family has given her.
-[screams] Ah! -[laughing]
How are you?
[overlapping chatter]
Oh, my God. This is crazy.
Love that fireplace.
-[Gabby] Absolutely stunning! -[Shay] Unbelievable.
Gabby, I hope that you are okay with hosting Christmas for the next 25 years.
I am ready. As long as mom cooks.
[mom laughs]
I can't thank you guys enough.
And you guys just brought this dream to life.
And this is very exciting. An absolute dream.
-Yeah! -But I think what I'm most excited about is,
I don't know, the biggest day of your entire life coming up for you guys.
Most important thing to all of us is family.
And we are truly completing our family with you, Gray.
Getting all this has just made me feel so blessed.
And I have just the best family in the world.
-And I love you guys. -We love you guys.
It feels like everything is just coming to fruition
in such a big way, with us getting married.
And our lives are gonna drastically change after this.
-Big time. I mean, it's just a place to start our family. -Yeah.
It is a dream.
Oh, that's perfect. Yes, that's the vibe.
-What do y'all think? -[woman] Oh yeah, love it.
Why are there three cakes?
Because, there's the bride cake,
there's the groom's cake,
and then, there's a sheet cake.
-Oh, my gosh. Do you love it? -[Gabby] Yes.
