We're very excited for you to be here.
Yes, we are. Welcome to our house.
We've been following Jeff's career fiercely.
Huge back yard.
So, is this the area you want to focus on?
We actually wanted to show you our balcony.
When I walk in that house, I just gravitate towards that yard.
I don't want to go upstairs off some tiny balcony.
You're almost there. Like, you have...
You're 90% there.
You're 80% there.
You're 75% there.
You've started.
We've started. Yeah.
-And here we're doing faux-lawn. -That's real lawn.
Why are you looking at me like that?
[Jeff] It's way too much hardscape for you.
-[Anthony] I agree. -We came up with a backyard design.
Fire feature, outdoor kitchen,
zero-infinity-edge pool and spa, guest house.
I mean, it's gonna be pretty incredible.
-Hi, Audra. -Hi. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
This was sort of my landing pad after I got divorced.
This is a place for my boy and I.
Could that go outside, potentially, or no?
I don't think I can take it out now.
[Jeff] I'm not gonna force this guy to do something he doesn't want to do.
If he doesn't want to take away his kid's playhouse, fine.
I'll do the primary suite.
That has to go. That looks like shit.
Sorry, Josh.
[pop music plays]
Okay. You gotta try these macaroons.
-Okay. -[Jeff] They're both really good.
This bakery's in Beverly Hills.
They only make these macaroons during the Jewish holidays,
so I have to go there during the Jewish holidays.
It's really delicious.
-[Tyler] Like a pillow. -Mm-hmm.
If you put them in the fridge, they dry out. That's the secret.
Shane, one is for you.
Good. I'll eat it after lunch.
-[Tyler] Hey, love. -[Shane] Hey.
[Jeff] Let's take a look at the design plan.
Do you want to edit Josh's stuff and condense photos?
Correct. But I want to go through them all once
and then I want to go through them again and then choose them. Okay.
We're very busy right now, which is great.
I have several projects going on right now.
I have Gina, Josh, and Anthony.
And then I'm meeting with a new client today.
-Let me show you Josh's. -[Jeff] Okay.
Um, that's pretty. And I love the paneling.
I think they think their house is too light
-and clean. -[Megan] I think so too.
-Yeah. -[Jeff] Josh and his son live there alone.
So it was kind of like a boys club.
Now that Josh is remarried,
I don't think his wife really wants to live that way.
I think she wants kind of more of a couple/family house.
So she's looking for more of, like, a cozy,
warm, layered, natural textures.
And 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.
Send him those inspo photos.
See what he says.
Did you see Megan's inspiration pictures?
Are you being serious?
-No. -[Jeff] You can tell she didn't do them.
-Jeff was really inspired by this. -[Jeff] Why would you send that to me?
-It's Container Store. -[Megan] Giving you options.
[Shane] Let's go to Target, get some poles.
Stick them up.
Last time you yelled at me for buying $6,000 wallpaper.
-I love that. -Look at that there.
[Ashlee] Mm-hmm.
That Hygge wallpaper for one wall is $7,500.
-So great. -[Jeff] And now they love it so much,
it's not like I can change it.
So I'm being budget-conscious. What do you want?
-You're so full of it. -Okay, this is genius.
[Shane] Pretty!
We just started demolition at Gina and Joe's house.
Sounds like they entertain a lot.
They have a lot of family, so we decided to focus on the backyard.
We would just be extending the patio,
building the pergola, adding a fireplace--
-[Tyler] And furnishing -And furnishing.
That could be really nice.
We want to create a space where you want to be, where you want to live,
where you want to entertain and create multiple spaces.
Outdoor living room, outdoor dining room, outdoor kitchen, pergola, fire feature.
Why are your chaise lounges just sitting on a lawn?
You need a deck for that.
A well-designed outdoor space can feel like almost an addition to your home
and make this the backyard of your dreams.
Why don't we send these inspo pictures to Gina?
-She's gonna love it. -We're gonna need lots of potted plants
to block the neighbors so they can make love on their balcony.
-I hate that word. -I hate that word.
-[Jeff] So do I. -I can't stand it.
I hate it. I think she said it too.
[Shane] She did. She wants to make love on the balcony.
To make love. I can't stand it either.
It's like-- it's like the word "panties."
It's just one of those things that just drives me bananas.
[Shane] We need space for them to make love.
-Okay, stop. -[all laugh]
It's not hot.
[pop music plays]
[truck beeping]
Hey, Razmik.
Hi.
So, somebody didn't notice that that was wet concrete?
[Razmik] We're gonna tile over it, so it's okay.
I feel like most projects get delayed, but, Gina's project,
we're seeing a lot of progress very quickly.
I'm surprised, but we're not waiting weeks for materials.
So, we extended the patio.
Which got us a little bit more space.
So, now we can start the trellis over an outdoor dining room.
To the left of that, making an outdoor living area.
It's moving along nicely.
No issues, no hiccups, which is rare.
You're going to start the pergola. And then when do you start the fireplace?
Tomorrow they're going to start on the fireplace.
And then what about the deck? When does that get built?
[Razmik] Same. It'll be at the same time.
-[Jeff] Okay -[Razmik] Quick.
[Jeff] It was a nice pool when we started.
[Razmik laughs]
[Tyler] It's a saltwater pool. That's why it turns like this.
So, she needs to maybe make it chlorinated again and start pouring acid in there.
[laughing]
Shane, why don't you get a workout in.
[Shane] So cute.
[Shane laughing]
Hey.
So good.
Hi. Don't walk on that.
Your husband walked right across it.
-[Joe] No, I did not. -No. [laughs] I was like, "Really?"
[Jeff] How are you?
I'm so good. How are you?
[Jeff] Good. What's happening with your pool?
[Tyler] He's really worried about it.
[Jeff] Do you think that the reason the pool's like that,
it's not chlorinated or they're not--
No, it's because we have two ducks... in it, and we're not in it.
Go look at how much... in that pool.
The ducks are back.
This happened last summer.
It's been a serious situation back here, guys.
[Joe] Chlorine can't beat a duck.
[Tyler] There's a duck right there.
[Jeff] Where?
[Joe] There were four ducks here the other day.
Two of them were our ducks that were just following them.
-But two others-- -Now they're having an orgy in our pool?
[Joe] Yeah.
The pool is full of duck... Yes, it is.
Are you feeding them?
-Yes. -You're feeding the ducks?
Joe got duck ramps so that they didn't die in our pool.
But it doesn't help that Joe has been feeding the ducks.
It's good luck if a duck... in your pool.
There you go. See, it is good luck.
[Jeff] There's a lot of good luck in there.
[all laugh]
So, they're gonna start building your fireplace tomorrow.
Two more days for the concrete to cure, and they'll start building your pergola.
They're gonna start doing your deck tomorrow.
It looks really good, though.
Not the pool. [laughs]
I think we're creating several different entertaining spaces
for different uses, so it's going to be a very multipurpose area.
I think they're going to really enjoy the backyard when it's completed.
This child is done for. He hates--
-So is this one. -He hates-- [laughs]
He wants go to Islands.
Yeah, I do, actually.
Burger at Islands?
Do they have duck on the menu at all at Islands?
That sounds good.
[pop music plays]
[knocking on door]
-[Jeff] Hey, how's it going? -[Josh] Hello!
-Good to see you. -[Josh] How you doing, pal?
[Jeff] Is Audra here?
She is in Oakland till tonight, like 8:30.
Shoot. Okay. I wanted to sit with her and go through photos.
-I could go over it with her. -[Jeff] Okay.
Considering the rest of the house has all been done by Josh,
I felt like if we're gonna be doing this primary suite, let's make it for them.
The bedroom-- It's not small, but it's not huge.
And then the bathroom is a very nice bathroom,
but it has kind of reached the end of its life.
Like, it needs to be refreshed.
I just wanna make sure that you properly explain this to Audra.
Okay. Can you show him pictures, Shane?
Yeah. Okay.
Audra wants it to be very warm-modern,
but still kind of clean and more contemporary,
is I think that's kind of what her vibe is.
This is kind of the idea, kind of that thick, marble counter.
-[Josh] Okay. -[Jeff] We want the tub
to kind of be its own thing,
-free-standing. -[Megan] Yeah.
-Those are really pretty. -She would be the one using it.
[Megan] That concrete one would kind of go with this sort of vibe.
[Josh] I like the concrete-wood vibe.
-[Megan] It's cool, right? -[Josh] I love it.
The closet, bedroom, and bathroom will all-- will have all new flooring.
We're painting all three rooms, getting new furniture for the bedroom,
three new closet doors, then we are completely
gutting the bathroom to make the bathroom feel bigger.
We're doing a new vanity, new plumbing fixtures,
new countertops, new bathtub, brand-new shower,
-Did you tell her she's getting a closet? -[Josh] Yes.
-[Jeff] Was she happy? -Very happy.
-[Jeff] Great. -[Megan] Oh, good.
Yes. She wants to leave me for you, in fact.
[Megan] Does that mean you're gonna be single?
[laughs]
[Jeff] Will she be here next week?
She will be here next week.
Does she have any play-dates or anything next week?
She's still on spring break.
You're such a liar.
[all laugh]
It's never gonna get old for me.
-[Megan] It really isn't. -All right. Thanks.
[Jeff] All right. Where are we going? Century City?
Yes. Sara Foster lives in Century City.
-Right by my favorite mall. -Would you hold the wheel, please?
You know she owns that--
-I've seen that-- -Favorite Daughter?
Yeah, her billboard on La Cienega.
-Yeah, it's big. -That clothing brand.
That's with her and her sister.
And do we know what we're looking at today?
-Her primary bedroom. -Hmm.
[Shane] Hmm.
[pop music plays]
[Shane] Can we get you a personalized doormat?
I mean, should celebrities have their names on their doormat?
I'm, like, very excited.
A little starstruck.
Hi. How are you?
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you. Hi, guys.
-[Jeff] This is Shane, Tyler. -How are you? Sara.
-[Jeff] Do we take our shoes off? -[Sara] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you?
[Jeff] Why is there so many?
I mean, I guess you have a lot of choices when you're--
I mean two kids, a nanny, Tommy. I don't know.
Hi, I'm Sara Foster.
I'm the founder of Favorite Daughter, which is a women's lifestyle brand.
I'm a TV producer.
I have a podcast, The world's First Podcast.
Probably, I'm forgetting a few things.
I'm Tommy. I'm a dad.
-I think first and foremost. -Oh, way to make me look like a--
-I just was saying you were... -Obviously, I'm a mom.
...more important about, you know, fashion.
She asked our occupation.
Yeah, but but that's an occupation. That's the most important one.
Okay, I'm a mom.
God. Now I feel I'm a friend. I'm a sister. I'm a daughter.
-I'm just reminding you. -Yeah.
[Tommy] I used to be a tennis professional.
[Sara] Silver medalist at the Olympics.
Tommy and I have been together 16 years.
-Right? -Time flies. Yeah. Here we are.
Here we are.
-Okay. Come in. Come in. -Good.
-This is pretty. -[Sara] Okay. So, you guys,
this was, like, our starter house, right?
We got this house 12 years ago.
-This was like the perfect thing. -[Jeff] It's really cute.
[Sara] This was great. It was a cute neighborhood.
-It was safe. -[Jeff] The house is already--
It looks pretty done.
We got this house when we were in a very different phase in life.
I was in my late 20s, we had a new baby.
We wanted something, like, cozy, traditional, and this was it.
This is a 4,500-square-foot house, but it doesn't feel like it.
I can't believe it's 4,500 feet.
Well, you'll see when you go upstairs.
Is that where all the square footage is then?
[Sara] The master is, like, a thousand square feet.
My bedroom is, basically, a closet.
-Is the upstairs the issue, then? -We've got to go upstairs.
I'm like an OG Jeff follower.
You know, I watched from the very beginning,
so, I, obviously, want him to like the space.
How embarrassing if he's, like, "You need to move."
Please don't call me a hoarder, okay?
I feel you. I know you're gonna think it, but just don't say it.
-Oh, so you're reading my mind? -Yeah.
I have a lot of clothes.
I've been here for 11 years. You accumulate stuff.
You would think there's, like, four women that live here in this house
with all the clothes that she has accumulated.
[Jeff] Oh, my God, there's so much stuff.
I don't think I've ever seen someone have that many jeans.
[Jeff] I think you have at least a hundred, at least.
[Sara] But in all fairness, I'm not--
This is all Favorite Daughter. Like, these are all my company.
-You know what I mean? -[Tyler] It's for work.
So, why does it need to be here then? Oh, 'cause you're wearing it all. Got it.
Wearing it. Content. Things. You know.
I just think you have to let stuff go...
-[Sara] One hundred percent. -...is the first issue. Yeah.
[Sara] I did just do that a couple months ago.
I've had all the organizers here.
Is this worse or better than you expected?
I wasn't expecting so many clothes.
-[Sara] And then the closets are here. -[Jeff] Oh, so you have two?
Well, I mean, you know, Tommy, which I keep thinking he doesn't need a closet.
It feels like I have more stuff because of how little my closet is.
-[Jeff] This is a big closet, actually. -Wait. It is?
[Jeff] This is stupid how much stuff you have.
I don't see how you could wear all this stuff.
[Sara] Jeff is very offended that I have a lot of clothes,
like, I think it's really upsetting him.
[Shane] Do you have more closets along this wall and are those maxed out?
-What are these? -Oh.
[Tommy] Maxed out.
Oh, God. Jesus.
I don't see how she could ever wear all of that.
I think it's impossible.
These are yours too?
There were a lot of complaints about lack of storage
and, you know, the house is too small,
and the house is not too small and there's no lack of storage.
There is a surplus of Sara's clothes. That's the issue.
You know, this is not a museum.
It's, like, we live here. We have shit here.
I have a small storage unit.
-Oh, God. -Don't tell him that.
Just one or more than one?
[Sara] Well, wait.
'Cause I worked for a hoarder once before.
Wait. Am I really a hoarder?
Yeah. I mean, I don't-- I don't think you need a designer.
I think you need a therapist.
-I have two. A third? -Well, maybe a third one.
[Tommy laughs]
I mean, like, clearly Jeff's never seen the show Hoarders
because that is definitely not what's happening.
I just have a lot of clothes.
I think first and foremost you have a storage problem.
[Tommy] We've looked into doing something here.
The idea was always to sort of, you know, bring a wall over here,
so it's separated, right?
-[Jeff] Well, if you do a dressing room. -Yeah.
-With an island and a chandelier. -Hundred percent. Yeah.
What if the fireplace is in a closet, like, that's kind of chic, no?
It would be nice to see the clothes too.
I mean, if you had fewer of them to be able to display them.
It would be nice.
You redo this and then you redo that
and then you could take advantage of this wall, this wall, that wall.
-Yeah. -[Jeff] You have an organizer
you already work with currently,
but she's probably not aggressive enough with you.
She also maybe hates me. I don't know.
You? No.
[Sara] We got into a fight last time she was here.
What'd you guys fight about? You fight over getting rid of things?
It was just very aggressive about certain things.
I'm, like, "No, I'm not getting rid of that!"
[Jeff] Hmm.
I don't know how many pairs of jeans you need.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I get rid of all the time. I'm not, like, a hoarder.
But which human being needs, like, 60 pairs of jeans?
I mean, you're never gonna wear them.
I honestly won't start to clean up.
I'm just gonna draw a line in the sand.
You've got to get rid of half your stuff,
or I just won't even work with you.
So, give me a call.
Oh, okay.
[Jeff] Sorry.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Did you think that was any harsher than usual?
-[Shane] No. I mean, a little. -All right.
Will you call Sara?
Are you gonna be nice?
Yeah, of course I'm gonna be nice.
[phone line ringing]
-[Sara] Hello? -Hi, it's Jeff.
-[Sara] Hi! -I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh.
[Sara] I mean, it was our first date.
You called me a hoarder 57 times. We can get past that.
[Jeff] So, now, you know what we're gonna do?
We're gonna be solution-oriented is what we're gonna do.
[Sara] Yeah, let's end this while we're on a good note.
[Jeff] I know. We're totally on a good note.
I'm really excited to build the dressing room of your dreams.
[Sara] Good. I cannot wait. I'm counting the minutes.
[Jeff] You sound so sincere when you say that.
You're a good actress.
[Sara] Yeah, well, I'm excited to see you again.
-Bye. -Bye.
[pop music plays]
I have a question for you.
Since your diagnosis,
do you have a certain diet that you have to adhere to?
No. I take my supplements.
Vitamin supplements.
Um, anything that gives me more energy because I'm always tired.
-Do you take naps? -[Andrew] Like yesterday,
just to meet with Anthony today,
like, I almost laid in bed...
most of the day, to be honest,
-which is horrible. -Really?
Andrew's been sick, he's been tired, and he's been undergoing cancer treatments.
And so we're doing a check-in.
"Are you okay? Is the workload too much for you?
Are you too stressed? Are you not stressed?
How-- How are you doing?"
[Shane] So, how do you feel? Just you're tired?
[Andrew sighs]
It took a while to get to where...
the fatigue would just, you know, kick in.
-[Jeff] Yeah. -It's rough.
And you just-- I think the roughest part is just-- [groans]
You hear it and just-- -[Jeff] The fear, probably.
Yeah.
-How many treatments did you go through? -Thirty.
Were they-- How often were they?
-Every day. -[Jeff] Wow.
[Andrew] There was a lot of cancer cells going on in there,
and a high risk of them spreading,
like, fairly fast for my age, so the stress part is hard.
-It's hard. -[Jeff] Is the tumor--
-But it's reduced now. -It's gone.
-Right now, there's no show of it. -It's gone!
-There's no-- There's nothing. -Gone. It's gone.
-Great. -It's good now. Right now.
I go in every three months.
-[Jeff] Does he keep checking it? -Every three months.
Not this way.
I'm going to say I did a prostate exam recently
when I had my UTI
and that doctor was very rough with me.
There was a lot of cleanup after just because there was so much lube.
But he was very aggressive.
They just bend over and just lube it and go.
Yeah, it's really hard for you, Jeff. I'm sorry you went through that.
[Andrew laughs]
[Jeff] I always want to be positive in front of him,
and I don't want him to, like, smell fear or worry on me.
But, yes, I am worried about him.
I'm worried. I'm very much worried about him.
-Did you get rid of your UTI? -Yeah, everything's good.
Thank you for asking.
[laughs]
You know, Shane and I, we're on every project,
but I think we keep you on Anthony's project.
You have a good rapport with him, and then we'll help you with them as well.
Look, we're here for you.
If you're having a bad day and you don't think you can make it,
like, one of us will fill in for you.
-Yeah. -[Jeff] My mom passed away from cancer
very young, 39 years old.
So, I witnessed all of that
and I witnessed her going into remission and then it coming back.
And then, you know, so, I don't know.
I kind of wanna be his cheerleader, you know?
He is fortunate enough to be getting the best treatment.
And then we hope for the best.
I know this is bringing it back to me, but I really just want to tell you something.
So, I-- After when I had the UTI
and I did the four, um, I did the four different rounds of antibiotics--
Did they know what start-- What gave it to you?
Or who gave it to me?
[all laugh]
It could be a lot of people. I don't know.
-I mean, it's a long list. -Yeah, I've lost count.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
-Hey. -Oh, hi.
I didn't know you were gonna be here.
Of course. I wouldn't miss this.
Well, shit. I came here because I thought you were gone.
She's here, though.
-I knew I'd see you. -See, I told you I was married.
[Jeff] Hi.
It's really exciting to see it kind of destroyed, like, it started.
I think I'm ready to see, you know, what they've all put together in design.
For the primary suite,
I think it will be a space where we'll want to spend time in.
[Jeff] Have you seen inspiration pictures at all?
Yes. I love what I saw.
Do you like--
Maybe you don't want to go with this vibe, but do you like that tub?
-Love. Obsessed. Obsessed. -[Megan] Concrete.
-[Jeff] Okay, you do like that tub. -Like, earthy.
[Jeff] Okay, good. But here's the problem.
-Did you check the price? -Yes.
[Jeff] What's the price?
It's seven.
-Okay. -I mean--
[Josh laughs]
Well, she tends to show clients things without checking the prices.
-[Josh] Ah! -Okay, but we want that. We want that.
I know.
I'm glad Audra's back because I can't make any decisions without her.
So, now we can start looking at things
and really getting some definitive answers from her.
We could go up six inches, down a foot.
And that could be a really nice, big window.
-[Audra] It'd be gorgeous. -[Jeff] It needs it.
And it might be nice with the floating tub in front of it.
[Audra] It'd be so beautiful.
[Jeff] I mean, the whole room looks big and bright.
-[Audra] It does. -[Jeff] This feels like a glass house now.
-I love it. -[Audra] Yup. I love it.
-[Jeff] Those big, heavy drapes. Terrible. -[Audra] Yeah, no, it's...
[Josh] I needed something to block the sun in the morning.
Or you have something to hide.
Something, maybe, you're embarrassed about.
[Audra laughs]
[Jeff] Spatially, there were issues before.
It was a little cramped.
Clearing the room, it brought a lot of natural light in.
The room to me looks twice as big and bright.
The room is small, and now it feels so much bigger.
Yeah, it really does.
[Jeff] Granted, it will shrink a little bit when we bring in furniture,
so I have to be mindful of the scale of everything.
We are gonna custom-make the bed and custom-make the nightstand.
So, it should fit really nicely in that space.
It'll help the room from shrinking.
We're gonna figure out how much long-hanging,
short-hanging, shoe shelves, her shelves, whatever.
We're gonna customize this for you.
Actually, her school uniforms could go in.
-[both laugh] -[Megan] Oh, my God.
Could put the coloring books back in the top corner.
Puzzles can go over here.
I do love puzzles.
-[Josh] Don't feed him. -[Audra laughs]
I can't wait to see the finished product.
I think to have a bigger closet
with my things in it and a better bathroom,
it'll just-- it'll be more of a place to, you know, get away.
So, I'm super-thrilled about that.
-We should get her a puzzle. That's nice. -[Audra laughs]
[pop music plays]
How are you? Good to see you. Do you like this?
-[Anthony] I do. -[Jeff] It looks good.
I think it's an appropriate amount of hardscape.
And I think we're still gonna have plenty of room for lawn.
[Anthony] What was I gonna ask you? Oh! The title thing!
There's nothing on that step right there. Right? The step in front of us.
That's just concrete.
I was just curious as to why we wouldn't tile the steps.
Well, I just want to be consistent because all of our steps are concrete.
-Okay. -So, we would just--
We would just tile this patio, that patio, and then under here.
[Anthony] Okay. I'm with that.
-Um... -Are you looking at his shirt?
-[Anthony] I've seen it all morning. -[Jeff] Okay.
-Honestly, did you-- -[Andrew] He walked out this morning...
-Did you get that at Zara? -...in sweatpants.
And was-- Yes-- And was standing up there.
Nothing on underneath.
-And you know he had nothing on. -[Anthony laughs]
I didn't even know you guys were here. I'm out here looking at the workers.
Oh, sure.
Yeah. Just so happened to be like this out here looking over his yard.
This guy.
[pop music plays]
[Sara] Jeez, that's an aggressive knock.
-[Jeff] Hi. -[Sara] How's your mood today?
-Are we feeling good? -No, my mood is good.
Last time Jeff was here, he didn't shame me.
Well, he did. He shamed me.
-Hi, I'm Monika. Hi. -Hi. Sara.
Whatever Jeff told you about me, don't believe it.
-Not yet. Nothing yet. -Hi. Hi.
The last time I saw Sara, I told her
that I can't work with her unless she cleans out
and organizes all of her clothes.
Okay, so, Monika doesn't even know what we're doing.
He speaks very highly of you.
So, I have a good friend of mine, Monika, who happens to be a great organizer.
She's very patient. I'm not so-- I'm not as patient.
Come on in, Monika.
Stop! So much.
-[Jeff] Yeah. -[Monika] Okay.
So that's all Favorite Daughter.
That side's all Favorite Daughter. That side's personal.
Wait, so, this is only yours, and then in there is hubby's?
[Jeff] There's two walk-in closets right here.
Let me see real quick. Let me see what the situation is.
-So, this is me. -[Monika] Okay.
Okay.
When I first moved into this house 11 years ago,
I was so grateful for this and then--
And then you buy really nice things and it's hard to let go of nice things.
[Sara] I, literally, just had an organizer come over.
Like, there's not gonna be that much that I'm going to be able to get rid of.
-I think there's a lot of editing to do. -[Sara] Yeah, yeah.
-There's a lot of editing. -[Monika] Okay, cool.
I mean, not like a ton.
Maybe there will be, like, a few things that we will be able to get rid of.
Maybe we don't need, like, a hundred white T-shirts.
I's, like, different shades of white, though.
Right. Maybe we need just, like, ten.
I mean, look, I'm not a doctor. I have seen different levels of hoarding.
And Sara, to me, looks like a stage-one hoarder.
-These are a lot of flannels. -I love a flannel.
-I love a flannel, but, like... -I love a flannel.
...maybe we pick a couple we don't love anymore.
I mean, I love them all.
[Monika] Okay, if we could get rid of, like, 30%.
-Justify. Justify excuses. -[Shane] Mm-hmm.
That's typical hoarding behavior.
Sara has to get...
I'm gonna say 80% of her clothes out of the room.
I'm hoping that I will be pleasantly surprised.
Definitely not betting on it.
Definitely not holding my breath.
-Just wake me up when they're done. -[Shane laughs]
[pop music plays]
Your haircut looks nice, Tyler.
-Thank you, honey. -[Jeff] Yeah, it does look good.
[Tyler] So, these are slat options, and then these are paint colors.
-Jeff! -[Tyler] Hi.
-[Gina] Hey, hey! -Hi.
-How are you? -So good.
It looks so good, right?
[Jeff] It's looking great. I'm looking at these colors.
The one on the left feels a little harsh.
I tend to like the one on the right. Which one do you like, Tyler?
[Tyler] I agree.
[Gina] Yeah, because it feels like it'll pop a little bit more.
Jeff, we got the playground.
I sent you a picture of it because you said you wanted to place it.
Okay.
I think that kid is only, like, four or five months.
I don't remember getting a swing set or a play set for Monroe
until she was, maybe, two and a half.
It seems-- it seems a little early.
Is it just covering this?
[Gina] Well, we wanted it to do the monkey bars
underneath the grapevine to the play set.
I mean, that thing is gonna be full of termites
by the time he's old enough to climb on that thing.
It's just gonna be the termites holding it together.
How many trees are you thinking? One, two, three?
Oh, we'll get rid of that one.
[Gina gasps] Joe will die.
[Tyler] Really?
His dad gave it to him when he won his last Muay Thai fight.
Cool. We'll give it back to his dad.
[Tyler] Or can we pot it?
No. We can transplant it.
I promise you, Joe will just be devastated.
We're not killing it. We're just moving it.
I-- It's-- He'll lay on there when you guys try to move it.
-He'll chain himself to the-- -He'll chain himself to the tree.
I'm serious.
There was a fig tree that his dad bought him as a gift.
And that is a very important tree to him.
[Tyler] Oh, here he is, here he is.
[Gina] Joe.
I mean, I'd be bummed if my dad bought me a tree for my birthday.
A nice bottle of wine. I don't need a fig tree.
Joe, what do you think about transplanting the fig tree to another location?
[Gina] Oh, my God. See? I told you. He's gonna cry.
Yeah, I think that can move back here, behind the fence.
[all laugh]
-[Jeff] How about the front yard? -Where?
We'll figure out just a great place where the sun traverses.
The day we dig it up, we'll just-- Yeah.
[Gina] The day you dig it up is when you're going to figure it out.
Yeah.
[Gina] Tyler's gonna pick it up with his hands.
-You saw that? -[Joe] Yep.
This is really building my confidence.
[Jeff] No, no, we're gonna do great.
Don't worry. It's gonna be fine.
[pop music plays]
They're not here, right? We can just go in?
Hi. How are you?
[Courtney] Oh, hi. Good.
I don't think we've met, have we?
-I don't think so. -I'm Jeff.
-Nice to meet you. -[Jeff] What's your name?
-Courtney. -[Jeff] Hi, Courtney.
Nice to meet you. Sorry to bother you.
-I'm Megan. How are you? -Hi.
This is Matt. We're going to just check out the-- Oh, it's this way.
-The bedroom. -Check out the bedroom.
I walk in Josh's, the closet's demoed, the fireplace is gone,
the bathroom is demoed, and we started the rough plumbing.
You know, you have to do all of this preparation
for everything that we're building.
-[Megan] We need to frame the shower. -We're gonna be hooking up--
It's a rain shower head, a wall shower head,
the valve, the finish, the drain, the freestanding tub, the tub filler,
the two sinks, the two faucets.
I think that the existing bathroom was a bit plain, clean, antiseptic.
Like, they're ready for a big change.
We had to get rid of that built-in Jacuzzi tub that was taking up
probably 20% of the bathroom.
We're gonna do a larger window and a freestanding concrete tub.
Visually, it'll feel bigger and it'll obviously have more light.
It's going to be that kind of that showstopping moment when you walk in.
What's that?
[Megan] That's a wine safe.
We're just gonna put tile around it.
-He wanted to keep it. -He wants to keep it?
[Megan] Mm-hmm.
[Jeff] I'm sorry. I've never seen anything like this.
[Megan] I haven't either.
So he wants to save this for what?
[Megan] I don't know. I would have gotten rid of it.
Six bottles of wine?
-[Megan] I don't know. -This is stupid.
I've never seen anything so dumb in my entire life.
[Megan] Have you eaten today?
-[Jeff] That's why I'm cranky. -[Megan] You're real cranky.
[Jeff] I know.
I want my wine a little more accessible, right?
I know that people steal jewelry
and sometimes, like, televisions and things like that.
I don't think you have to go to great lengths to hide your wine.
Would you text Josh from my phone?
"Can I take out the secret wine storage?
It's in my way.
And it's stupid."
Okay, but for the first sentence-- What was the first sentence?
-"Hay." -Not "Hay." Do, "Hey."
"Hey, can I take out the secret wine storage?
It's in my way, and it's stupid."
Do you want to not stay "stupid"?
It's fine. He needs to know how I feel.
I do get angry a lot. A lot.
"Hey, can I take out the secret wine storage?
It's in my way, and it's stupid."
"Love you." Kissy face.
No, send it. Let's go! Move on.
I'm hungry all the time.
I'm always hungry.
Should we see if they have any snacks?
I'm hungry.
[Shane] Yeah.
[Megan] Maybe you need some crackers.
[Jeff] I mean, I would if Courtney wasn't here, but--
You want... [laughs]
You want some snacks?
[Jeff] I mean, I don't think he would mind.
Oh, they've got Ritz.
I love Ritz.
They do have Goldfish.
I got some Thin Mints in here.
Those are my favorite. Those are really good.
I do have certain things in my house
that I probably would be upset if people ate.
I mean, I don't think he would mind. I'm gonna do this.
Like Girl Scout cookies. Yeah, but...
-Thanks, Courtney. -[Megan] Thanks, Courtney.
[laughs]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Let's call Monika.
[phone line ringing]
-[Monika] Jeff. -How are you?
[Monika] I'm currently in Sara Foster's bathroom.
You're still working with Sara?
[Monika] She really is, like, a crazy hoarder.
It's insanity.
I had everything perfect.
And then she gets home and just starts hoarding and putting things
-all in the cabinets that I did for her. -No.
[Monika] She's on a call right now and I'm gonna tell her,
"If you don't let me donate, like, all of this,
then I'm gonna leave
because I don't want to take your money to just sit here and have you hoard more."
-Oh, my God. -[Monika] Yeah.
[Jeff] Sara had told me that she's worked with other...
you know, organizational professionals.
I just think someone like Sara, probably,
you have to do constant check-ins and follow-ups.
I mean, God bless Monika.
I hope she gets paid a lot.
All right, well, you guys have to go figure it out, but I'll talk to you later.
-[Monika] Yeah, I'm going to. -Bye.
[both laugh]
[pop music plays]
-I brought the plan. -Ooh!
-So did we. -[Shane] So did I.
-Oh. -[Jeff] Did you bring a measuring tape?
-[Gina] Yes. Yes. -Wh-Where's yours?
[Tyler] I didn't bring one.
We have several outdoor pieces of furniture we need to purchase.
So, I'm taking Joe and Gina to a big warehouse
so I can just watch them walk through
and I can see what they're drawn to and what they like.
Have a seat. See what you think.
It's great for me because I'm short.
Are you comfortable here?
I actually really am.
-[Gina] You like it? -[Jeff] I mean, I can't get back up.
[Shane] You seem to like it. You're not getting up.
Why don't you sit down, please?
[Gina] Because he can't.
[all laugh]
We need everything, right? We need everything for the backyard.
We need sofas by the fireplace and lounge chairs
and dining room table and dining chairs.
We need it all.
-Not as comfortable. -Not at all.
But very, like, erect.
[Jeff] Let's keep looking.
Oh!
-It's hard. -Wow.
[all laugh]
This is forever far back for me.
Here.
Let's just-- I'm gonna show you.
[all laugh]
We have to make sure these are very, very durable.
They have-- They still have a lot of sex.
That's okay. That's good.
So we wanna make sure that these are gonna hold up.
Teak Warehouse has a lifetime warranty on the furniture, so there you go.
A lot of times in my business, my job is to really just kind of
talk people off the ledge and guide them.
How do we take this yard to the next level?
-I would hang out on these. -[Gina] Yeah, this is chill.
And this is easy to, I think, get in and out of.
-The depth is good, right? -[Joe] Mm-hmm.
[Gina] It's comfortable. It's not so short.
-I like this. -[Jeff] Yeah.
I think we have to get two of these for sure.
[Jeff] I ask a lot of questions. I listen.
And then I think to myself, "You actually don't want this.
What you don't know what you want, and what you need is this."
I don't think they'll even use the balcony when the backyard is done.
So that kind of happens a lot.
[Chris] That's the relaxing chair.
[Joe] Hyah!
-[Gina] Very comfortable. -This is really nice.
[Chris] These are some of our best tables right here.
-[Gina] Yeah? -[Shane] That's 102.
-Is that too big? -There's 108 in the plan.
I'm just trying to get as much... as many people on a table as I can.
Go ahead and sit and see what you think.
[Gina] Where'd my husband go? Joe?
[all laugh]
He loves that chair. He loves that chair so much.
[Gina] He likes a nice chair.
Simple man.
Simple. Simple as that.
If I can find a chair that I can sit in, I'll sit.
And he did for a while.
-Mm-hmm. -He sat in that chair for a while.
It's a great chair.
You can fit 16 people from fireplace to table,
-three on each sofa, two chairs... -Right. Right.
-Perfect. -...and then eight here.
[Joe] Before, we didn't have a table out there.
We didn't have a table out there. So, no, no accommodations.
Yeah, people were either coming inside
-or sitting on the grass. -On the lawn, yeah.
So, now we're at ten seats.
-Four, eight-- -This is awesome.
That table is gonna bring a lot of joy. I just know it.
Our family gets together and it's gonna be really cool.
-All right. I feel good about this. -And my legs are not hitting the--
-Yeah, comfortably. -I'm comf.
I'm straddling something.
I always am.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
So, do you want to seriously do El Pollo Loco real quick?
-Yep. -Because I think I'm gonna be
really cranky if I go to Sara's without eating.
And you can't be angry at her again.
No, I can't be angry again.
-No. -So, I think you need to--
I need to be calm.
I need to be fed.
"Hey, guys! I'm here to help."
And I need a big, caffeinated drink.
-Yeah, -With a lot of sugar.
Yep, yep, yep.
[Shane] Hi.
-Hi. -[Sara] Hi.
Wow, you look so good today. Where did you go?
I got my hair highlighted.
[Jeff] I like it.
Monika kept me very updated.
She sent me pictures.
Um, I knew that Sara was aggressively cleaning things out.
I think she let go of, like, a good one-fifth of her wardrobe.
So, look, she did the homework.
I need to go through with you because I need to find out
What you want because even though I asked you two weeks ago, you haven't done it.
[Sara] I think the key is more hanging than folding.
I care more about functionality than beauty.
-Okay. -[Sara] I think a lot of women want,
like, to walk into a closet and it's, like, looks like a store.
Like, I don't care about that.
I don't care about it looking like a store.
How many people am I gonna have come in my closet?
I just want it to be functional, obviously beautiful, obviously pretty.
But I don't need, like, things displayed.
It's crazy how deep this is getting those cabinets out.
I mean, it's like we can really, like, shove a lot of clothes in here.
[Jeff] I hate that word choice, but I-- yeah, display some clothing.
[Shane] You can shove a lot of shit in some cabinets over there.
[Jeff] Yeah, this feels good in here. It's a big room.
[Sara] Yeah, it's a big room.
We're gonna split the room.
We're gonna be building a wall to separate the new dressing room from the bedroom.
We're keeping the existing closet the same.
We're building a nice-sized doorway.
We're gonna be building out all-new custom cabinetry,
including an island, and then also doing a new fireplace mantle and hearth,
new cabinet hardware, a new chandelier, and then we're going to re-wallpaper.
I think a woman would walk in there and fall in love with that dressing room.
She's sleeping here, so it would be nice
if we could get these things out of her way.
Well, I mean, realistically, how long would it be like this?
Months.
-Months? -Yeah. No, no. Make your bed. Get--
This is gonna be months?
Months?
Is it really gonna be months?
-Multiple months? -What did you think it was gonna be, days?
What is this, like, Extreme Home Makeover?
-[Sara] Like, a couple of weeks. -[Shane] Move that bust.
Months? [laughs]
Did you think we'd be done by Saturday?
I'll move some things out in the garage.
It took a minute for us to get to the place we're in,
but we're all on the same page, which that's the best feeling.
It's going to be beautiful. Jeff, he's such a pro and I like him.
At the end of the day, he knew exactly what I needed.
Which is what I need.
All right, let's leave them alone so they can work.
[Sara] Okay.
[Razmik] Let's check.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] The magnolias are nice.
[Tyler] And then the jasmine is really, really nice.
In my opinion, the details are what takes the renovation to the next level.
It looks really good, Tyler.
It's not just a pergola and a fireplace and tile on a patio.
I think what completes the backyard is the accessories,
the potted plants, the umbrellas, and these are details
that a lot of people don't see but appreciate it when it's done.
No ducks.
Do we want to put on the fireplace right now?
[Shane] Yeah.
[Tyler] Turn it on.
Oh, our dog is out here. Hi, bubba.
-Hi, Marty. -[Tyler] Hi.
[Shane] Hey!
[Gina] This is gorgeous, you guys.
[pop music plays]
[Gina] This is really, really stunning. Oh, look at Jeff sweeping.
[Joe] Oh, wow!
You really put the finishing touches, don't you?
It's really, really magical.
They just transformed it to an extent that it just was, like, beyond my imagination.
[pop music plays]
It's giving us exactly what we're looking for.
More nature, more trees.
Now we have a whole section by the fireplace.
We have areas for kids and we have areas for adults and that's really nice.
Having the table to host is incredible,
and, also, just as I look out the back window,
the amount of plants that now exist all the way out,
the jasmine and the trees.
[Jeff] I think the potted plants changed everything.
-[Joe] Yeah. -[Jeff] Olive trees look great.
[Tyler] Beautiful.
-[Gina] This is really nice. -[Shane] I mean, it is nice.
[Tyler] It does feel very nice out here.
[Joe] This moment was impossible in this backyard before.
This is really nice.
When I walked in that backyard, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
You know what? You see kids' birthday parties out there and holidays
and everyone is going to use that space.
It is warm sitting here.
[Gina] It's warm, yeah.
-Next to this. -[Gina] It's beautiful.
Not only are they going to love it and use it,
I think at the end of the day,
they will-- they will realize, "Wow, this is really what we should have done."
If anyone gets cold, it's gonna work great.
Remember when we first sat in these chairs?
[Tyler] And look how far we've come.
[Gina] Look at how we've come.
-[Shane] I could stay here for hours. -[Gina] For hours. This is beautiful.
When they were making the fireplace, I was like,
this is a massive fireplace, but it is so sexy.
I love it. I had no doubt, though,
that we were gonna love whatever Jeff came up with.
But I didn't think I was going to be this just madly in love with the space.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] I think this turned out great. This became kind of a destination now.
[Gina] Yeah. Look at how sexy that is.
[Joe] The deck is stunning.
[Gina] The deck is beautiful.
[Jeff] This now makes sense. It's connected.
[Gina] It's beautiful.
And then when you get out, you're not, like, immediately in the grass.
-It's functional. -You, like, kind of dry off.
Yeah, and it's chic.
The rocks, I'm telling you, they changed everything.
I love it. This is beautiful.
-Is it comfy, Shane? -So comf.
[Tyler] Wow, this is very comfortable.
[Shane] What is that?
[Gina] It's an alligator head.
[Shane] For what?
[Jeff] It scares the ducks.
[Gina] Yeah, it scares the ducks, and it works.
It's cute.
Jeff got rid of the ducks in a loving way.
So, good-bye, ducks.
-Good-bye, ducks. -I know.
Can we talk about how much better this pergola is?
It's really nice.
[Gina] You got rid of my swings and guess what?
I'm not gonna put the swings in when you leave.
[Jeff] I was worried about that.
-But you like the barstools now versus-- -[Gina] It's sexy.
[Jeff] It just also feels a little more functional.
Not everybody wants to sit in a swing.
[Gina] This is great, you guys. It's really beautiful.
-[Jeff] The dog loves it. -[all laugh]
I always felt like the money was better spent here.
[Gina] Oh, you did. It is.
-You're so right. -You're so right. You're so right.
This is such an upgrade.
We're never gonna host a dinner party on our balcony,
through our bedroom.
-[Gina] Look upstairs. -[Shane] The plants are gone.
[Gina] Do you see that they're-- they're gone?
[Jeff] Yes.
The whole backyard feels--
-Cohesive. -Yes.
[pop music plays]
Jeff is fantastic.
He's actually just a big old teddy bear, and he, like, hides behind the jokes.
But he is just a sweetheart.
-Tyler-- -The whole team has been a joy.
Yeah. Tyler is just so on point and he was so communicative.
And working with them was so easy.
Thanks. Thanks for everything.
It was actually really great working with you guys.
-Yeah, same. -Oh, it's been a pleasure.
[Jeff] I hope I never see you both again.
Oh, wonderful. Thank you.
They're very happy. They're very in love. They're very grateful.
Sometimes, you know, you get a paycheck, but zero reinforcement.
I really like working with them.
This was a collaborative process,
and that's nice because it doesn't always happen.
-Bye, guys. -Bye.
-It's so beautiful. -It really is.
[pop music plays]
-Come on in. -[woman] Welcome.
Hey, mi casa es su casa.
I'm Reggie Bush. I used to play in the NFL for 11 years.
-[Jeff] This is beautiful. -[Reggie] Thank you.
[Jeff] It's a big house.
[Reggie] There's one room upstairs, our kids' bedroom.
I really want to put some love in there.
When you say kids, do you have all three kids in the same room?
-Yes. -Yes.
[Reggie] This is where all three of them sleep.
Our daughter, two boys.
The three kids in the smallest room in the house.
[Tyler] That's kind of pretty.
[Jeff] Yeah.
No.
That pattern? Are you kidding? It looks like an acid trip.
That's like, "Whoa!"
[Jeff] That's not dramatic at all.
Guys, you're going to miss me. When this project is over, I feel--
I feel like you will.
[Jeff] With the new Hancock Park House, we're delayed because of the HPOZ.
I hired HPOZ consultants.
[man] The neighbors are very upset with you.
[Jeff] All I did was take down some trees and some light fixtures.
[man] You had four different violations.
It could be a criminal thing if you don't fix it.
It's not a misdemeanor, it's a felony.
[pop music plays]
