Alright, so we're going to address primary now.
-[Jeff] Is anything worth keeping? -[Megan] No.
[Jeff] Now you're redoing an entire bathroom.
[Megan] Double sinks, double lav.
The scope of work has expanded.
[Jeff] It is ugly and cheap.
[Megan] This is a terrible closet.
And the expense of the project has increased.
-Do you like that tub? -Love.
-Obsessed. -[Megan] Concrete.
[Jeff] We want the tub to kind of be its own thing.
What's the price?
It's seven.
[Jeff] Okay.
-Do you like this? -I do.
It looks good. I think it's an appropriate amount of hardscape.
It's going to have to have an even balance,
you know, hardscape versus landscape.
You know, I want a more natural feel.
I think we're still going to have plenty of room for lawn.
This is a 4,500 square foot house, but it doesn't feel like it.
My bedroom is basically a closet.
Is upstairs the issue, then?
We gotta go upstairs.
[Jeff] Oh my gosh. There's so much stuff.
Sara has to get 80% of her clothes out of the room.
I honestly won't start 'til you clean up.
Sara was aggressively cleaning things out.
Yeah. This feels good. It's a big room.
Yeah, it's a big room.
I'm proud of Sara.
She did the homework, and now we can get started.
[upbeat music playing]
Hey, guys.
Who are you?
You met Jonathan!
-Did I Meet you? -Yeah.
-Yes. -When did I meet you?
At my house.
-Can I say... -This is an assistant. Got it.
So this dog should calm down.
-Hi, c'mere Tobes. -He's calmer now.
Well, he also went to school today, so he's tired.
-Toby. -Hope he smells better than Megan's dogs.
[Megan] Okay, so I've got a lot of stuff.
Can we do Josh's first, since that's fresh in my mind.
-Absolutely. -Since I clearly have no memory.
-I've only met you once, though, right? -Yes.
-Okay. Okay.
There's a number of projects going on, so I'm still working on
Sara Foster's, Anthony Anderson, Josh Duhamel.
Everybody's pretty busy, but we are dividing
the workload amongst all of us so we can take on a few more clients.
I got a very, very expensive bid.
Well, when you say expensive.
-Josh's closet, we are looking at $39,575. -Wow!
-That's not happening. -So, he doesn't want the job.
I think he priced himself out of the job.
He priced himself out of a client.
-So, I hope I hope that worked for him. -Right.
-So let me get a bid from Eric. -Okay.
At Josh's house, we're going to redo the big walk in closet.
We're going to be redoing the bathroom and we're going to be furnishing the bedroom.
We're going to use warmer tones like a very high-end
boutique hotel suite.
It's going to be expensive.
I'm really hoping I can stay within budget.
Okay. This is very important.
The window.
[Jeff] That room is not the brightest.
I think that window is way too traditional.
What if you did big panes
-with just a few dividers? -[Megan] Open.
-Yeah. -[Shane] Yeah.
[Megan] Now, we got to start talking about the wall behind the bed.
[Tyler] Can you do that whole wall so it just looks seamless?
That'd be beautiful.
And we would have to match the doors with the paneling.
Do we have two barndoors now?
We have two barndoors into the closet,
-and there's a barndoor from the bathroom. -Okay.
-Alright, so I think we're clear on Josh. -I think we are.
-Do you want to do Sara next? -Yeah.
Sara cleaned out all of her clothing.
I was very pleased with the results.
So now we're going to start construction.
I'm going to divide the primary suite to a bedroom
and a big walk-in closet slash dressing room.
We're pulling this off the walls in the bedroom.
Now I have to change the wallpaper in the bedroom.
This is my favorite,
and I think it goes really well with the blues.
And I think the room could use a contrast.
So now we've already got one wall paneled in the bedroom.
So you'd be replacing three walls.
There is a little blue, uh, that blue sample...
-[Jeff] Do you like this color? -[Megan] I think it's beautiful.
[Jeff] For their closet?
What's going to happen if she hates the blue?
I think it's very, very unique and fun.
Tyler really wanted to do something
a little bit more bold, and he visualized a Tiffany blue.
Saw how great it would look,
and I think it's going to make it special.
I think it's going to make it custom. And it would be beautiful.
I like it.
What else? We have a new client, Reggie Bush.
Megan, you're going to be taking that one.
Three kids.
They have, like, a giant house.
-You got to redo the whole house, then. -Well, room by room.
It'll be fun, though!
I mean it.
[Jeff] Those new meds you're on are really working.
I'm excited about everything.
♪♪
Just tell me that run down here.
Okay, Reggie Bush.
-Used to play football, right? -Yeah, oh yeah.
He dated Kim Kardashian.
That's how I know him.
He was in a Wendy's commercial in 2022.

[knocking on door]
-Hi. -Jeff!
-How are you? -How are you doing?
-Nice to meet you. -Great to meet you.
I'm Reggie Bush, and I used to play in NFL for 11 years.
New Orleans Saints.
Miami Dolphins.
Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers.
And one year at Buffalo.
I also won one Super Bowl.
An incredible career.
Now I do sports commentating.
I'm Lilit Bush.
My background is a professional ballroom dancer,
but I'm an actress now.
-Come on in. -Welcome!
-Mi casa es su casa. -Okay.
-Thank you. This is beautiful. -Thank you.
It's a big house.
We bought this house two years ago. It was brand new.
We moved from the beach over to the valley
because we were looking for a little more space for our family.
As our family grew, more kids.
We have three kids.
We've been together for, like, 12 years, 13 years now. 13?
-No. -Isn't it 13 years?
-April 2011. -2010...
Or was it 2010?
He probably was, like, thinking about me 2010, you know?
All the furniture in here that you see, I picked it out.
-[laughing] -Okay, okay?
Really, I wanted something that was going to go
with kind of the look and feel of the house.
Everything, I feel like, from an aesthetic standpoint, kind of works together.
[Jeff] Are you okay with that there?
I was leaning more towards a piano right there, with a nice chair,
but I lost the fight to the ping pong table.
[Jeff] Okay.
And how old are your kids?
[Reggie] Nine, seven and five.
We were very nervous when we first went through the furniture décor
because we wanted to stick with neutral colors.
And our kids are rough.
[Jeff] Is it always this clean and organized?
-[laughing] No... -No! No no, no.
-[Jeff] I mean it's... -[Lilit] You shoulda seen it 2 hours ago.
-Okay. -[Reggie] Two hours ago...
But because I mean, even your kitchen is immaculate.
-Yeah, we just cleaned that up. -Yes, we just. We just kind of.
Do you make them clean up after themselves?
We do, yeah.
Mine was taking her plate and handing it to someone.
I'm like, "no, no, no, no. Keep going. Keep walking."
No, you got to go into the kitchen. You got to clean your plate.
It started like that, they would hand me their plate.
But she doesn't clean her dishes, she just puts them at the--
-No, but she's good about placing them. -We're getting there.
My first impression is that Reggie has sophisticated taste.
I think he knows where to shop.
I think it is very well maintained, very clean, very organized.
It's a nice house.
This is a beautiful kitchen.
Is that from a kid?
That's their, uh...
-That's their art décor, [laughing] -Of slime.
But let's walk outside to the to the backyard.
[Jeff] Looks like it'd be a really fun house for kids.
-[Reggie] Yeah. -I mean, you got everything here.
-We plan on staying here a while, -I don't know where else you go.
Yeah, this is where I put the work in right here, Jeff.
You're gonna like this a lot.
[Jeff] I've never seen anything like this.
[Reggie] Golf simulator room.
Golf is something that's become kind of like my passion for life after football.
-So I enjoy it. -Yeah.
I teach my kids how to golf.
So were you happy when he retired or no?
-So happy. -Oh, you were!
So happy because I didn't have to worry so much about his well-being.
I didn't think about that.
It must be really scary very time he played a game that he would get hurt.
I saw all the damage that all of that would do to the body, to the mind.
So, it's a little safer here, the golf simulator.
The house is newer and done.
I think he takes pride in his home,
which I can appreciate that.
And then this is your gym and then you have a theater, too.
[Reggie] We have a theater.
[Jeff] The house is done.
-What do you want to do next? -There's one more room upstairs.
Our kids bedroom.
Really want to put some love in there.
When you say kids, do you have all three kids in the same room?
-Yes. -Yes. They all live.
-They all stay in the same room. -By their choice.
-They don't they don't... -They don't want to separate
[Reggie] Our kids bedroom.
That would be the one area that I would change.
We want to make that room cool and fun and have enough space to live there.
I'm just expecting him to come in with amazing ideas and just be like,
"Oh, yeah, we're going to do this, we're going to this,
we're going to do this, we're going to do that.
They want to stay close to us because the boogeyman, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
-Where where does that go? -That's our room.
-That's our master bedroom. -That's our master bedroom.
[Reggie] This is our kids room.
This is where all three of them sleep. Our daughter, our two boys.
You see, we got two bunk beds on this side.
My daughter sleeps on this side of the bed.
We want to make this...
-Fun, right? -...more kid-- yes.
-Something they wanna hang out in. -Yeah, something more fun.
It's very plain right now. So...
It's tight.
I mean, you have an almost a 9000 square foot house.
-You have a room for everything, -I know, I know.
-But you've got the three kids -And they won't...
-in the smallest room in the house. -And they don't want to...
-Sleep separate. -They don't like any of the other rooms.
I understand that.
I understand that maybe they don't want to sleep separately.
But if there was a bigger room that we could design.
I don't know if it would be an easy transition for them.
Because they want to stay close to our bedroom.
Yeah...
I would love to see each of them in their own rooms,
but they love sleeping in the same room.
But again, it's a very generic, tight space,
not a lot of color, not a lot of pattern.
And so until they can get to that next transition
why not make this room the best it can be?
-It's a little plain. It's a little plain. -Yeah, it's very plain.
What are they called, like those youth hostels?
Yeah, it's kind of hostel vibes.
Rent a bed.
[Reggie] I can see where he might look at that and think, that is a hostel.
We didn't want to choose that room because we felt like
it was also small as well.
But you know, when it when it comes to little babies and you got little kids,
they want to be close to Mommy and Daddy.
So that's the room we got to work with right now.
So maybe this becomes really more of just a bedroom,
like a very pretty bedroom.
-Yeah. -Maybe some color,
some wallpaper, art, new beds, new bedding.
[Reggie] Yes, maybe some new bunk beds?
Custom make 'em. Make it beautiful for them.
-So, we'll do the design together. -Okay.
And then we'll have everything lined up
so we get kids back in their room as soon as possible.
Awesome. Let's do it.
Making the room more fun is going to excite them.
-Mm-hmm, right. -You know, our kids are very artistic.
They love to color, they love to draw.
I think it's going to bring it to life.
You guys are a lovely couple, nice to meet you.
Appreciate that man.
-Thank you. -Bye.
[Lilit giggling]
It's a beautiful house.
It is.
It seem-- it's--
It's crazy that they're all in that little room.
Yeah, but it's not the parents choice.
It's the kids' choice.
I get that you're not going to push the kids into doing something.
They don't want to do.
They seem to like that kind of cozy little pod, you know?
-I get it. It's a huge house. -Right.
So, for them, it's cozy and it's warm and--
well, it's not warm, but it's cozy and safe, right?
So we make it warm.
♪♪
Wow, this is nice.
-It's big. -It's big, right?
We love this dressing room.
So this island, you can kind of see where it's taped out.
[Jeff] It's a nice size island.
-It's big. -Four by five.
-You have drawers on both sides, right? -Yes.
We split the room in half.
So now we can create a dressing room with a lot of storage for her.
These are all of our wardrobes, right? These are all of our--
-Full length wardrobe? -Yes.
The house is very tastefully done.
It feels very safe to me.
So Tyler came up with a couple of ideas
to paint the cabinets Tiffany Blue
and then antique gold mirrors and the gold hardware.
It's a little bit more risky and more kind of high design,
so we're going to present them.
Did he insulate?
-I don't know if...no. -After I asked him to?
Can you insulate?
There's no need. But we can, sure.
I don't think he insulated.
He says he did.
I wonder if we could pull off some drywall and see.
Just take that piece off.
Do you want me to do it?
Yeah, to see if there's insulation there.
It's powerful...
That's one...
Steady.
[laughing]
I need goggles.
Goggles?!
That ...-er.
That doesn't seem promising.
I think you should cut and see if you see any in the wall.
How do I cut it. Break a hole.
They can patch it.
-Do you have a hammer? -No, just this.
Who's here? Do they have a hammer?
-Can we look in the garage? -Go ahead.
I'll just look.
-Are you really breaking the wall? -Just a small hole.
Why don't you just use this?
Go ahead.
So you think he just lied?
He's not seeing any insulation.
Are you using a hand weight?
I was thinking about it.
I can feel it.
-You can feel it? -Yeah.
For sure?
-Look. -Okay.
All right.
Well it's nice to know he doesn't lie.
You can see why they're designers
and project managers and not contractors.
Just from a bystander point of view,
it didn't seem to come naturally to them. Yeah.
So we're gonna have to fix all this.
[laughing]
Sorry, Razmik.
[knocking]
-Oh hi! -How are you? Welcome back.
Welcome back to our humble abode.
-Sorry. -Hey Chips!
-Hi puppy. -Hi!
-C'mon in, Meg! -Look at your lovely color!
For Josh's, we demoed the bedroom and bathroom
and we gave them an idea like this is what we're thinking.
You know, I think we're almost there.
Like, we're in the ballpark about everything that Josh and Audra want.
We just have to finalize a few things.
First, let me show you the tile, because I think that is important.
I think it's going to look really, really cool.
-And then with the natural wood vanity... -Mm-hmm..
[Josh] So, this is the floor?
That's the floor, big squares, 24 by 24.
And that's throughout everything.
-The closet, the bathroom, the bedroom. -I love it.
So this is the inspiration photo for your bedroom that we all loved.
-Oh my God, I love it! -The paneling on the bed wall.
[Audra] It's stunning.
[Megan] We were thinking of a custom, like,
floating bedside table on one side.
-Right? -Right. And you'll get storage there for,
like, lube and, you know, whatever.
-Whatever you mean, like...? -Right, right, right. The handcuffs.
Jeez.
In the bedroom.
We're going to do custom bed, rug, paneling on the bed wall,
new closet doors in the same wood as the paneling.
We obviously lost the fireplace.
We'll do a console underneath the TV and then a desk and a chair.
All in all, I think we're aligned on the aesthetic and the design plan.
But my concern is it's actually very expensive.
Here's your beautiful, beautiful bathtub.
-That is going to be heaven. -Right?
Here's the window
That window is going to brighten it up so much.
-Oh my gosh! -It's going to be so great.
Are we going to put a steam shower?
If we are going to put that in, it's going to increase the budget.
Let's do it.
Order. It
It's funny until you see it all laid in front of you,
you don't really have the image of what it will look like.
I would say I'm most excited about the 24 inch concrete tiles and that window.
I think that window is going to really make that whole bathroom pop.
Let me show you some pictures of slabs.
This would be on your countertops and on your shower.
-These are beautiful, though, too. -Mm-hmm.
[Josh] I like this.
The one that we chose was 1775.
And this one's [whispered] five grand.
I think we should slab shop.
I think that's probably going to be important.
-Yeah. -Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
And then also your bathroom vanity will be very Zen like that.
[Audra] Yeah, I love this.
So you can do it in this laminate veneer,
which is less expensive than doing it with a real wood.
What's the difference?
The real wood is 14 and the fake is 12 five.
-You can go either way. -Mm-hmm.
In all honesty, I feel like, you know, if we're going to do this, just do it right.
-Yeah. -So...
you're talking about a couple thousand dollars more, right?
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Yeah.
But you're going to have a I mean, an incredible bathroom.
It'll be a very nice bathroom when it's done.
Between the big, gorgeous steel window with the concrete tub,
the natural stained wood.
Can you do this inexpensively? The answer is no.
It's no.
You know, most people, if you fall in love,
you'll come up with the money.
You spent some money on that right?
On what?
On that ring.
It's beautiful.
-He did good. -Yeah.
It's why I want to go to the laminate.
-[laughing] -Yeah.
You spend that kind of money, and then you--
Get laminate.
Let's go with the laminate.
[Jeff] Is Zoe working today.
[Tyler] Harder than anyone.
I want to see the pool from upstairs to see if they did the steps right.
It looks nice.
Looks real nice.
I think that pool's too deep for you because you can't swim.
It looks like it's probably six feet deep.
-It's over six feet. I'm not doing it. -I need to get you some floaties, I think.
With the new Hancock Park house,
the previous owners tore out a lot of the original detail.
I want the house to look like it used to it, but we're delayed
because of the HPOZ, the Historical Preservation Society.
They have sent a building inspector to stop construction.
They really want to know everything you're doing,
otherwise they're just going to make your life hell.
Maybe it'd be easier to get HPOZ approval if we limit the amount of windows
that we're going to replace.
-I cannot stand those circle windows. -[Jason] Right.
I think those two for sure get replaced.
We have an HPOZ meeting next week.
Sometimes I come off as harsh
so I don't trust myself in a board meeting.
In any meeting at all. A zoom.
On the telephone.
Text, em-- I don't trust myself, period.
So I hired an HPOZ consultant.
This guy is my representation.
So I can say whatever I want to him and then he can edit.
With the HPOZ, the best option is to give them options
and they can feel more part of the process.
And I guess it has to be choices that if they decide
-we have to go with that choice, right? -Right.
I have to get permission for the new windows and doors, the stucco,
and then I want to rebuild my chimney.
At the meeting, you'll have a live conversation.
I think it'd be a good presence if you showed your face.
Just remember, I was on TV for 11 years as a villain.
-Right. -If they've seen my show,
they're automatically going to hate me.
But they think there might be a house flip.
-So if you explain it's your personal home -Okay.
You're more involved in being dedicated to making sure
it's going to be the best home it can be.
Yeah.
I used to move around a lot before I had Monroe,
so I was used to just kind of living in the flips.
And then I would move when I sold them.
I lived in one home for two weeks once.
But I don't want to just uproot Monroe again.
This is a family house.
The house will be stability for her.
But if I can't create the house I want,
I guess there's a part of me that thinks,
"Do I choose to stay here? Do I sell it?"
It's like the fate of the house.
You had violations. So take it seriously.
All I did was take down some light fixtures and some moldings.
Is that like a speeding ticket? Like they got one, like, whatever?
-Or is like...? -It's not a misdemeanor, it's a felony.
It could be a criminal thing if you don't fix it.
Do I need to hire an attorney?
-No, no. We have-- -I'll do it!
I object!
It looks so much better now.

[Jeff] Okay what's on the list? Electrical?
Faucets?
You're going to handle the electrician? Who have you called?
-An electrician is coming on Saturday. -Good job.
The house is going to get power washed on Saturday.
By who?
-By by...? -By Jesús.
Is it "by who" or "by whom"?
"House by whom."
No, that's the subject.

After Andrew finished his treatments,
it was very obvious it changed his perspective.
I think he is more positive.
He seems to have more energy and he seems to be happier.

It only took six weeks to get it approved. We need this tile stuff done.
Yes, we're going to need like 2500 square feet.

-How are you? -Hi, how are you?
-Hey, girl. -Hey, girl.
Look at you with your tape measure on your pocket.
All right, we've got a whole plan for you to go over.
I see Sara as well-traveled, sophisticated.
I'm sure she's seen a lot of beautifully designed homes.
I feel that she'll appreciate
the kind of design story that we're trying to tell.
-This is so exciting. -This is the fun stuff.
Ooh. Oh, God!
Not many people would take the risk, but we feel like you're a risk taker
and I think you are a little bit more receptive to high design.
Kind of wish I was that person, but I was a little surprised.
I was thinking a creamy buttercream walls,
gold hardware
very like muted but also
fresh, bright, clean.
I thought you would like it.
That's a true Tiffany Blue.
[Sara] It's a lot of blue.
Okay, let's say I'm like, okay, the blue is giving me a headache.
I can't do it. What are we doing? Just cream?
Or does that just blow up everything?
We don't have to make a decision
-on color right now. -[Tyler] No.
Is this marble?
Just hear me out.
Is there anything with less black in it?
Like, it just feels a little bit like a men's bathroom?
I think she just wants us to create her kitchen upstairs.
-Right? -No, not that.
-Do you like the antiqued? -No, I do.
But you can't really see yourself when it's just dirty,
when it's this "antique."
Maybe a little less antique.
-Okay. -Gotta see myself, gotta see the clothes.
-Right? -[Jeff] You have to do regular mirror.
That's what I'm wondering.
Personally, I like Sara.
She's funny and quick,
but I feel like she's more of a classic, traditional kind of person.
So I realized that the design probably, ultimately wouldn't be right for Sara.
I think you just go with regular mirrors. By the way, it'll be cheaper.
-Really? -You could put money towards wallpaper.
-Yeah, I think. Let's go regular. -Fine.
Great.
-And then wallpapers. Oh, wow.
I think this is going to be one of these situations where you trust us
and you might just have to kind of close your eyes and jump.
-Oh, God. -Yeah.
-What? -Yeah.
Don't be afraid.
I think Jeff thinks I'm boring.
Basic.
But I am basic. I'm not like a big risk taker.
This is like what I like.
I mean, I don't love that piece, but the colors
Okay, I like this, does it come in any other, like, color ways.
-Probably. -[Jeff] Get some more wallpaper samples.
You should show her other options.
Is this a democracy? I'll just go with you.
That might be easier, right?
I don't hate this, though, you guys.
Tyler and I were a bit more kind of high design,
but I understand because not everyone is like that.
I think it is a bit too risky for her.
-This could have been a Jeff Lewis closet. -[Sara] Right, right.
-But it's actually a Sara Foster closet. -If you want this closet call Jeff Lewis!

What we're thinking is that Shane can take Raffi up to the kids room,
if you don't mind,
so he can take pictures and some measurements.
We can sit down with you guys and kind of show it what we have in mind.
He's my contractor, so he will be building, like, the structure.
-Awesome. -We're going to show you, so.
At Reggie's house, there's nothing but space except for the kids' room.
The room is so small.
There's only so many different ways you can configure it.
Usually most people, they're not going to spend that kind of money
hiring me to do their kids' room.
So my goal is to make it more functional, more usable,
kind of enriches their lives, right?
I kind of want to go with something very clean.
So what we're talking about is custom beds.
So we would actually build the beds. These are the bunk beds here.
You're going to have a standard sized twin bed.
[Reggie] Okay.
[Jeff] And then we're thinking full bed for your daughter.
-But that'll be nice. -That's a nice size.
'Cause right now you have a twin bed just against that wall,
and it kind of feels like it's an island floating there.
I thought let's tuck it in there.
That means you get more space at the end of the bed.
[Reggie] Yeah. Okay, perfect.
-[Jeff] They'll have more storage now. -I like it.
It looks really good.
I think the majority of the room, the dominant color should be white.
-Makes it feel bigger. -Yeah.
But we'll mess around with the bedding and the rug and all of that.
And that's where I think we'll get color and pattern.
-It's just clean, it's fresh. -Yeah.
-The room is going to feel much bigger. -Yeah.
In a room this size, there's no way we would ever find
furniture that we all like and agree on.
In the right size and scale, you have to custom make it.
We're very thoughtful in how we're putting this together.
We're figuring out little areas where we can get storage.
So for example, underneath the beds, we're building drawers.
Across from the bunk beds we're going to be doing a bookshelf
that will be built to our specifications,
so it's not too big, it doesn't swallow the room.
It's on the forefront of our mind not to shrink this room.
I love these details.
Like little lights in there.
Yeah, I love that, 'cause they like to read.
-They'll sit in their beds and read. -[Megan] I love the lights inside.
-And so I like that, that'll be good. -So cute.
-I think a chair would be nice in there. -[Lilit] I agree.
-You kind of soften it. -I think to give a little space to...
-Living space in there is nice. -Yeah.
I'll be sitting right there and yelling at them, "Go to bed."
That'll be my spot.
I love the vision.
It's nice to create something new.
Yeah, they're going to be so excited when they see this.
I really like how they kind of fit my daughter's bed into that little corner.
It's gonna give more space to the room.
[Lilit] Yeah, they're actually going to have space where they can hang out.
It flows really nice with the little tiny room.
It was like magical how they were able to do that.
[Reggie] And that's all you can ask for.
And we trust them and we're excited, it's going to turn out amazing.
I like it. It looks really good.
I wish all my home improvements worked as fast.
Jeff, go ahead and hop on the 405 and we'll go up to Sherman Way West.
Where is the light? Like, can you not go?
Yeah, this is wild. This is a really intense intersection.
-Where do I go? Like, I can't... -Okay, you'll uh...
Okay, I see it. It's right there.
-I'm really sorry, Sara. -It's okay.
I'm actually, I have over 30 years driving experience, so don't worry.
I'm a really, really good driver.
Okay, so, 405, you're getting on the 101.
Except I got on the wrong freeway.
You just got on the 101...!
This is the wrong way!
[laughing]
Is Tyler meeting us there?
-Yeah, he's there. -Yeah.
He's our, you know what, he's there hiding
all the wallpapers he doesn't like.
Oh my God. That's why he got there first.
We're trying to come up with options for wallpaper that she likes,
so it's probably better to take her to the store
and let her guide us what she's looking for.
[clerk] Hi, guys, welcome to Astek.
And we just want to look at some books, some, like, grass class.
Perfect.
[Sara] Look, here's the thing.
I just want it to be clean,
elevated, bright,
chic,
feminine.
Not like, too girly, though, because it's Tommy's too.
-He has to look at it every day. -[Shane] Right.
The winner is in one of these books.
She was saying she wants light, light, light, light, right?
I feel like that's a lot of glittery which we don't want.
Oh, yeah, no.
Are you open to any sort of botanicals in the...?
-No. -Okay.
-That's kind of pretty. -Yeah.
No.
I would feel like it would give me, like, a headache.
-Okay. -Okay. That's not dramatic at all.
That Pattern? Are you kidding me?
It looks like an acid trip. It's like, woah!
My God, how do people like... This is so overwhelming.
Sometimes clients, they don't know what they need
and they think they need one thing when they actually don't need it.
[sighing]
You don't want to overwhelm someone initially.
You know what? Here's, here's the thing.
I go in to a restaurant, there's only 12 things. Really easy.
I'll have this, I'll have this, I'll have this.
Then I go to the Cheesecake Factory.
There's that book.
I can't decide because there's 500 choices.
That's, that's kind of what it is with, really, with design.
Guys, you're going to miss me when this project is over.
I feel. I feel like you will.
It becomes so overwhelming that people can't make the decision.
They become scared, paralyzed.
So is the blue up for discussion or...?
Well, first of all, the rest of the house is pretty,
you know, neutral.
So it is going to stand out. Right?
I just feel like it's very high design now.
And with white cabinets, it's just not...
it just looks like another...
-white closet. -I mean, I agree with you.
But then we leave her with those blue cabinets
that she's probably not going to like in the end, like a year from now.
Maybe you don't go with...
[Jeff] I don't think she feels comfortable with it.
...Tiffany Blue. Maybe you do like a deep olive green.
Tyler is still very invested in painting those cabinets,
and this is where it becomes a little bit about ego.
I thought the inspiration pictures for the Tiffany Blue cabinets
were beautiful, but I realized
it just didn't feel like her.
Tyler is really upset by this cabinetry.
It's not the same closet designed in white as it is in a color.
Think of this: everything's light now. The cabinets are light, the stone's light,
The bed itself is white, the whole wall is white
-and you're going to do light cabinets? -The people that live there are white,
It's a lot of white.
You just you're going to want some kind of contrast somewhere.
It's going to end up looking flat, which is what we're trying to change.
No, I think it's a fine line line. Is blue, not more of a statement.
Of course it's more of a statement.
What if you go more into like the mossy greens
with like the gold hardware and the mirrors?
That's like minty.
That's pretty.
[Shane] With that marble, that's actually really pretty.
So why don't we put up a mint.
That could be pretty with the gold and...
-[Sara] Right? I like that. -It's pretty.
-I do like that.
-Can we do that? -Yeah. Okay.
What about the wallpaper? What do you want to do?
I was thinking like a little bit of this color, maybe.
Like a teal or something.
These are some nice options. Do you like this?
-That's pretty. I like that. -Yeah.
Gravel paper is our favorite.
That's beautiful.
-Jeff found our wallpaper, potentially -It was an accident.
It was an accident.
Jeff doesn't even know what we're doing here, and he just.
He's literally like, "What are we doing here?"
Like, I need to be at my next appointment.
-I mean, there's a decision in this. -Yeah, 100%.
-Okay. -We'll do it.
It was never my way or the highway.
I mean, if you trust me, I have an obligation to you
to do right by you and right by the house.
Oh my God, did we make a decision?
[Jeff] Are you going to let go of the blue cabinets, now?
I'm not over if yet.
♪♪
[Jeff] Do you have Tums?
[Tyler] Yeah.
[Jeff] This HPOZ meeting. We have a lot riding on this.
I like Nick. He's very professional, the whole thing.
-Yeah. -But I'm angry today.
I have no patience, no tolerance for anything or anyone.
I have an appointment with the HPOZ.
Nick basically feels I need to display a bit of humility
until I get my formal approvals on everything.
If you need to speak, the one idea I think you could put forward,
is, like, I've been a house flipper.
However, that's not what this house is for.
Making a beautiful home for my daughter.
You're right.
This meeting determines the future of a plan for the house.
And what I want the house to look like In the end,
You know, you're spending all this time and money.
You want it to look the way you want it to look.
And if you have people
that are now dictating what I can do and what I can't do, it's upsetting.
I'm very worried that I won't get the approvals I need to continue.
I'm on the watch list. I'm literally sweating.
Are you bringing your backpack with you?
-I feel like I don't need it. -What if I need another Tums?
Okay, I will bring my bag this time.
-Nick's already drinking. -Oh Nick.
It's not a good thing when you're already drinking.
-Uh, What are you? Martini? -Martini.
Can I get a vodka martini? Gray goose is fine. Up dirty with olives.
And can I get a side of dirty also?
-What's a side of dirty? -Side of olive juice.
-Oh wow. You like it really dirty. -Is that all?
Yeah, Thanks.
Okay, so how do you think it went?
I think it went as good as it could have.
You said a couple of things that put your foot in your mouth,
but to have your presence there was really good
to show you're serious about the home.
Were you annoyed when he just completely took over at the beginning?
-Are you trying to cause trouble? -I feel like-- I feel like if I were me,
-I'd be a little, like-- -I had my whole outline prepared.
You kind of did interrupt me a lot, but it was good points you brought up.
[Jeff] We had a meeting with the HPOZ,
and I was originally told to stay quiet,
but I realized that
I needed to win them over.
And I did.
I got scared because I thought,
"Holy shit, this house cost me
this much a month to hold, I can't have any delays.
We have to get these things approved."
It was like it was literally like fight or flight.
Most of them didn't know who you were, which is a good thing.
-It's okay. -I mean, I wonder why they didn't know.
[laughing]
No, it was a good thing. It was a good thing.
No, I think that first meeting was really important.
I'm glad I was there and I'm glad that I spoke.
We got approved for windows and doors
and the rebuild the chimney, get new gutters.
So we have a common goal, which is to restore the home
as best as I can to what it originally looked like.
So that's what we're working on.
I couldn't have done this without you guys, but I---
I could have put something together.
Yeah, Shane probably could've done some of this.
Why are you laughing?
Cheers, guys.
Seriously, Jeff, thank you.
-Congratulations. -Cheers.
Good job, team!

-Feels huge, right? -[Jeff] It's really beautiful.
[Tyler] I mean, it's a lot of storage.
-Yeah, those are pretty. -Pretty.
-When do the mirrors come in? -Thursday or Friday.
-They're here. -He's just waiting to install them.
And then what about the countertops?
Today at 3:00.
Tyler was reluctant to give up the Tiffany Blue cabinets, but Sara compromised.
She went with a very muted, subtle green.
I mean, I guess it's kind of mint.
[Shane] Are we doing something above the fireplace?
I was going to ask you that.
What do you think it would be like if you did do a mirror in that moulding?
Could be beautiful.
-[Jeff] Look at you. -I think it could be nice, reflective.
Okay. I'm actually very open to that
because then we don't have to find art for that.
And then do we want to look into runners now?
-Yeah. -All right, let's go.
-Let's go to Melrose. -We'll have to go to Melrose Carpet.
It's pretty. You did a nice job.

Okay, where do we go to?

[Megan] Think they forgot where Josh lives, maybe.
You always park so far away.
You know why? Because I don't get a cell phone signal up here.
-But I got one down there. -Well now I--
I don't know if I would buy a house with no cell phones.
I can't do it.
At Josh's house,
we've had a couple estimates for the closets and the bathroom,
and the pricing was much higher than we had originally anticipated.
So we are going to have to have a budget conversation.
Oh, hi.
-Hi. How are you? -Hi, guys.
Please enter.
I know what I can do to bring that number down and he won't like it.
So I hope that Josh approves the bigger budget.
We got to talk about budget. We can cut back.
Now's the time to do it.
So we have $30,000 in plumbing fixtures.
The work itself is 28,000 and our windows are 13,000.
Our cabinetry is almost $30,000.
They wanted the steam shower,
and the fancy toilet, and all the high-end fixtures.
It's...
I mean, it's all adding up.
We're already at 152, and that does not include the slabs, the rug...
-Closet, hardware. -Bedding, whatever that's going to be.
Where do you think we're going to end up here?
-One seventy-five? 170? -Well I think for...
Yeah, with slabs.
Depending on how many slabs we need and which they choose.
I was going to say, for three...
-twelve to $15,000. -For sure.
I mean, it's expensive.
We're looking at this as a $200,000 remodel.
I think it's worth it.
I mean, you guys are... We're doing it right.
You know, what I didn't want to do is just come in to do a cheap job
and then have to redo again later.
-[Megan] Right. -[Jeff] Yeah.
So might as well just do it right, right now, you know.
Yeah. That's gonna be pretty.
See, that's why you want to work with people with money.
Because then that's when you can really create.
It's more fun doing what I do when you have a bigger, bigger budget.
Can't take it with you, you know what I mean?

I have no words.
I genuinely am just obsessed with it.
The hardware is so stunning.
And by the way, when you first showed me, I was like,

It's so crazy walking in here now,
thinking about what it was, how I lived for so long.

-Oh, wow. -Look at that.
-Did Monica do that? -Yeah.
So organized. Wow.
Look at that one. So pretty with the shoes.
Are you jealous of this?
It is a lot of work to keep up a closet dressing room.
When I opened the doors, everything was, like,
perfectly spaced and organized on beautiful hangers.
The question is, will it spill out of the cabinets?
Will there be clothes lying on the island?
Will there be stacks of jeans and sweaters and joggers and all of that?
She seems very happy.
And, you know, I hope she enjoys it.
And I hope she I hope she's able to maintain it.
Do you think it's going to stay like that?
No, because it's too pretty.
Like I think I'm going to have to put like,
you know, I'm going to have a crowd it out a little bit.
I give it, like, three months, where it's a mess again.
I also have a confession, like, I really wanted a white closet.
But you know what? The color is a game changer.
What I like, it's not it isn't that bold.
-[Sara] No. -For you.
It's tranquil. Perfect.
Honestly, I could not have imagined it being more perfect.
There's a reason why designers are designers
and why normal people are normal people.
They were so right.
I can't even imagine if this was all white.
I think I would just be, like, dizzy.
This is the most tranquil, calming,
elevated, sophisticated color.
Like it-- it's incredible with the hardware.
I mean, it's amazing.
By the way, this was a nice added addition, the mirror.
I didn't know you're going to do that. I love it.
That was a Tyler suggestion, a very last minute one.
Wait, what was going to go there originally?
-Just wall? -Art.
Art. He's always telling me, put art up.
I'm like, I don't have art.
He's always like, oh no, art can go in that wall.
Like, what art? I have to go buy art.
The house is not a designer's personality, right?
It's Sara's personality.
A lot of times, you know, designers will go in
and they'll take over and they will choose what they want
and not necessarily what the client wants.
But I think Tyler did a good job of listening to Sara,
incorporating what her needs and desires were and her taste.
I'm very proud of Tyler. I think he's thriving.
-I loved working with you guys. -It was so fun.
-It was. -It was just lovely working with you.
I am very grateful I wouldn't have this if I wasn't for you guys.
