Beautiful. 910 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,960 We're over the moon. Yeah, it's amazing. 911 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,760 It's the light, I think, that completely changes this room. 912 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,120 Just got light in here any time of the day. 913 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,080 How is this side working? 914 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,600 Scott and Caroline chose bench seating and a pine wallpaper 915 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,640 for this wall, and the reality is virtually identical. 916 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,320 It felt like it needed a bit of detail and a bit of colour 917 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,080 just to lift the whole room, and I think it does that really well. 918 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,680 And of course, the other thing we had to do was to move this wall. 919 00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:22,160 Yeah, it's made a huge difference. 920 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,560 Without that, it just wouldn't have worked, 921 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,920 so that has just given us so much more space. 922 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,960 I know one of the big things that we spoke about was Christmas 923 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000 and where to put the Christmas tree. 924 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,320 Do we have a spot? 925 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,440 Yes, we do. 926 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,040 Perfect spot for a Christmas tree. 927 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,200 Totally. Yeah? 928 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,160 I can't wait to make it Christmassy in here. 929 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,360 It's just going to be such a lovely room to decorate. 930 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,240 And your windows, they really work there, don't they? They look great. 931 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,560 And I like that you've done the mirror and the plants 932 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,920 that I suggested. Yeah. 933 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,920 Yeah, gives a much nicer view out. Yeah. 934 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,280 Now, I believe these are just Scott's doors, right? 935 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,720 He's the door controller. I'm not allowed to touch them. 936 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:03,880 Ooh, yes! 937 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:09,320 In our virtual scheme, Kunle created a beautiful decked garden area 938 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,920 for outdoor entertaining. 939 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,560 And the reality... 940 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,240 ..is every bit as good. 941 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,600 This is what this whole design is really about. 942 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,200 Creating this big opening and being able to look out 943 00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:28,120 and having this inside outside space. 944 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,400 It looks amazing, and Kunle, your idea of raising up the decking 945 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,720 outside really makes it feel like another room. 946 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,080 It's kind of like the extension you didn't get. 947 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,400 What a lot of people don't think about is the view back in, 948 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,640 which I think is equally just as spectacular, isn't it? 949 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,160 I love it, guys. I kind of want to move in. I love it. 950 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,240 How does the reality compare to the virtual reality? 951 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,360 It was quite surreal, but also, like, extremely useful, 952 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,520 because we had a clear direction as to what we were doing. 953 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,360 We wouldn't have been as brave, would we? No. 954 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,720 Unless we had seen kind of how it all ties together. 955 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,880 And what difference do you think this has made to your life, 956 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,240 and for the kids as well? 957 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,440 Definitely having family together makes such a difference, 958 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,160 the kids being able to actually sit at the bar stools. 959 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,920 Before I was just stuck in that kitchen on my own shouting. 960 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,520 To have everyone all together is just completely different. 961 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,080 I want to ask you about budgets. Mm. Oh, yeah. 962 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,320 Originally, we thought you were going to spend about £70,000, 963 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,800 so where did you get to in the end? 964 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,760 We had to replace the ceiling, because the ceiling came down. 965 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,160 OK. We just saw an open ceiling, and I said "Oh, can we insulate that?" 966 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,360 They said, "We can if you want, but that will be extra." 967 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,960 And I'm like, "Yeah." So, yeah, we did go over by about 5,000. 968 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,480 But that was unexpected costs. It came in about 75, 969 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,480 but, obviously, it's going to help hopefully with the bills and stuff. 970 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,800 Good work, guys. Nailed it. 971 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,920 Caroline and Scott started their project home 972 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,440 with radically different ideas of how it should look, 973 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,840 but what they've ended up with is something they both love. 974 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:12,000 And most importantly, the Christmas tree looks perfect in its new home. 975 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,120 So, that's job done. 976 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,640 We did it, and I think we should do it again, don't you? Let's do it. 977 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,480 Subtitles by Red Bee Media
