[Megan] On the ceiling.
[Jeff] I want you to be able to do your front door.
I want you to be able to do all these other things we're talking about.
[whispers] Tell me what you feel.
[Kevin] A lot of damage when they pulled up the tree.
I didn't know about any of this.
I never got a single text alerting me to the break in the line.
What should have happened is if we damage something,
we should have had a call
and then I could've had someone come out and repair it.
We have a new client in the Palisades. Melissa Rivers.
Oh, I love her.
This is the bathroom. I need it to be a real space that works.
Like, a glam room.
-[Melissa] Yes. -[Jeff] But we will spend 100.
We will spend 100 just here.
[theme music plays]
[pop music plays]
Truthfully, I've had about 15 people DM me
and, like, tell me there's one bar I have to go to.
Oh, I think I'm getting the same DMs. What bar is it?
I don't remember. Something real gay-sounding.
-It's not Donkey D's, is it? -No.
-Round Up. -Yep. Round Up.
Everyone says the Round Up.
So Round Up has multiple bars. I'm choosing which bar we'll go to.
-Like, I think it's in one space. -Is there a senior citizen area?
-The 65-and-over bar? -[laughs]
"Tool Shed Bar features two improved bar stations
under a tin roof and plenty of antique hand tools."
What? What?
"Hand tools, branding irons, chaps and tack."
-Okay, I don't think that's the room. -I literally don't know what that means.
I don't think I wanna go to that room.
-Branding irons? -Yes.
What kind of place is this?
"You never know what the bartenders back there
might be hiding up their sleeve."
-[laughs] -We have to do it.
Problem is, with your newfound fame,
it might be difficult for you to get around.
Might cause a scene?
A mob. I mean, you did get recognized yesterday in an elevator.
I did.
So what's happening at Wilmer's?
They're skim coating the walls and installing the wallpaper.
I believe Razmik is done or almost done. We can ask Tyler.
[Jeff] Melissa's, I have to call the Waterworks woman today
to see what kind of discount I can get.
Okay, who's next? For Anthony's, you and me are working on that.
With Anthony's job, in regards to those broken sprinklers,
hopefully people understand if something like that happened again
that they would call us and give us the option to fix it ourselves.
It is like babysitting.
Maybe if we have ten minutes, we can go through the Chick-fil-A drive-through
'cause we're not gonna be home till 2:30 and we're gonna be real hungry
and I have had nothing to eat today.
You will be hangry.
I will be very hangry if we don't eat.
No fries for me today.
Skinny.
I'm just too skinny to have fries.
I probably shouldn't, but they're so...
They're really good.
But don't you not order them because then I'm gonna want one.
They're so good.
[Jeff] No, we can't have it.
[pop music plays]
[Megan] Do you find that these stairs are short?
I just thought it was my foot.
Uh-uh. They're very short. Maybe she has small feet.
[Jeff] Okay, So what I wanna do...
Okay, the hone goes with the polished Calacatta.
Oh, you're gonna build little halfsies, halfsies.
Halfsies. And then the polished goes with the honed.
[Megan] The honed. Did you choose a tub?
[Jeff] Can I see a picture to show Megan?
[Shane] There's this.
[Megan] Oh, you're gonna do this silver.
-[Shane] Pretty girl. -[Megan] Mm-hmm.
It kinda looks like a beer bucket.
That's what I was going for.
Oh, you were? Coronas?
We're going for, like, frat house in here.
[Jeff] We could put a lot of ice in there.
[Shane] Mm-hmm.
-[Jeff] Can we get everything ready? -[Shane] Yeah.
-Okay, great. -It's ready.
Do you have the inspiration picture for the tile?
-Megan's holding it. -It's in my hand.
-Oh, great. Okay. -It's right here.
It's a rectangle with a skinny rectangle inside.
It's very pretty.
-[Melissa] Hi. -[Jeff] Hi, how are you?
-[Melissa] Good. How are you? -[Jeff] Good. Good to see you.
-Mwah. -Come on in.
Hi, hi.
[Jeff] Now, you've seen it since the wall was removed, right?
Yes. Hi.
-Hi. -Hi.
-[Melissa] Nice to see you. -[Megan] Nice to see you too.
[Melissa] It looks so good.
It's huge.
[Melissa] Oops. As I trip and fall. Yeah.
-[Jeff] And open. -Yeah, and this is gonna be great.
Okay, that's the floor.
[Melissa] Right, which I love.
[Jeff] There was some settling and some cracking going along on that floor.
We gotta make sure that that doesn't happen again.
So I think the smaller the pieces, the more movement.
And then also if there is a crack,
it's a lot easier to replace just a small piece of tile.
Which stones do you like? Which colors do you like?
[Melissa] You know, I always go for the whiter.
I tend to like the Statuary in polished.
-[Megan] Mm-hmm. -[Melissa] Yeah.
And I like that Bardiglio in polished, but I do like the Bardiglio in honed.
I hate the Nero with the polish.
-[Megan] No, I don't like that. -I think it looks cheap.
Get it away! Get it away! -Okay.
-[Jeff] Good. Yes, 'cause I hate it. -[Megan] Yeah, I don't like that.
It's horrible. Yes. Bad designer!
I kind of like the polished polish.
-[Megan] Here, I'll take those. -[Jeff] Thank you, Melissa.
I try not to bother you, if you've noticed.
[Melissa] You can bother me anytime.
But I will tell you, you're one of our easiest, nicest clients to deal with.
-Really? -Yeah, you really are.
'Cause I make decisions?
[Jeff] Well, and also I just know to pick the most expensive thing in the store
-and you're good. -[laughs]
[Megan laughs] Which is so much fun.
Yeah, I know how to work with you.
I don't know. I just know what I like.
In addition to the style, I let her choose the actual materials,
the stone, and the type of marble.
It's been kind of customized for her.
I mean, I don't know if she's happy about the money,
but I think she's happy about the design.
What we did at my old house, which I loved,
we had the mirror and then we did a mirrored frame around it.
Did you have that custom made?
[Melissa] Yeah.
-[Jeff] Show her the white tub burst. -[Melissa] Love.
[Jeff] However, I was in the showroom and then I saw this in polished nickel.
[Melissa] It's really beautiful.
Are we gonna do wallpaper or paint?
I love the paneling, like, how it is in this picture.
You never should have shown me this picture.
[Megan] Mm-hmm.
[Melissa] How this is on all.
Oh, God, I was so afraid you were gonna do that.
-[Megan] Uh-oh. -So now you want it on all the walls.
-[Megan] No, here for sure. -No, here.
Here for sure. There for sure.
[Jeff] Okay, so everything but one wall?
-There. -[Jeff] This is gonna be all mirror.
-No, no, no, not all the walls. -No, no, no.
-This one, that one... -And that one.
-[Shane] That one, this one for sure. -That, yeah. Yeah.
Water closet.
Well, no, we don't need it in there.
-Okay. -That would be a bonus.
So paneling everywhere.
If we can.
I don't know. I think we should be open to wallpaper.
[Melissa] I'm open.
I like that idea and I think I pitched it to you at one point,
but now I'm Team Melissa.
I like the paneling. I think it's so rich and so pretty.
It is. It's expensive. That's the problem.
Even if we just do the millwork?
[Megan] Just fake it till you make it?
[Melissa] Yeah, I mean, I don't mind just doing the millwork around it.
I'm sorry I ever showed you that picture.
-[Megan] Yeah. -You know what? Live and learn.
[all laugh]
Hopefully, we're staying within budget. That's obviously the goal.
Jeff's saying that's probably not realistic,
but a girl can dream, right?
Those slabs are gonna be expensive too, so we'll see where we're at.
[Melissa] Don't clutter my brain with such useless information.
I'm gonna be positive that we're gonna be pleasantly surprised.
Okay, so that's what we're doing.
You gave me a $100,000 budget, but we're building a $150,000 bathroom.
[Megan] Gonna be a real beautiful bathroom.
[Melissa] It's gonna be dreamy.
[Megan] Yeah.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] I just wanna go over the front door with you before we order.
I think personally it shouldn't be any taller than 82,
just so we know we can install it.
And then regards to the width,
I know we want glass, but I also want it to look, um, proportionate.
Are you centering it to the circumference of this whole wall?
Are you pushing it all to the left?
[Jeff] Pushing it all to the left.
You're gonna have all of this space from here to here.
So if you stand back and you picture it, you can see how wide the door is.
Those tapes, they represent 32-inch doors, two double, 32, 34 and 36.
[Megan] I like the big one.
Well, this looks... Maybe 34 is the compromise.
I think 34 is nice.
[Wilmer] Okay.
-So you okay with that? -Yeah, that's great.
Okay, so we'll do the two 34-inch doors.
-Okay. -That's gonna look gorgeous.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] No doorbell?
[knocks on door]
-Hello, hello. -Hi. How are you?
-Hi. -Nice to meet you.
-Jeff Lewis. Hi. -Hi. Ashlee.
How are you? Nice to meet you.
I'm Ashlee Simpson-Ross
and I'm a singer and an actor.
I'm Evan Ross and I'm a singer, actor, producer.
Dad. Mom.
How many dogs are there?
-[Evan] One. -[Ashlee] Just one.
And how many kids are there?
-[Ashlee] Three. -[Evan] Three.
-[Megan] Oh, wow. -Yeah. [chuckles]
[Evan] This is the second home we've lived in together.
This is, like, our, like, family home.
Yeah. I think we'll be here for a while.
Now, how long have you been here?
-For a year. -A year.
[Jeff] Oh, so not long at all.
No, we moved in during, like, right in the beginning of quarantine, kind of.
Yeah, I mean, there's sections that are, like, not done at all.
Like our room.
Well, I would love to see the house.
Yeah, let's walk around.
[pop music plays]
[Ashlee] So this is just, like, his art room, music room.
[Evan] Yeah, like, if I'm painting or drawing,
but it's also just a nice room to come in to.
[Jeff] Megan, look at this.
[Evan] I love this thing, by the way.
[Megan] Oh, that's so cute.
[Jeff] So do I.
[Ashlee] Yeah, that was such a good baby thing.
[Jeff] Really pretty.
We both have very unique style. Um...
It's, like, eccentric, a little Aspen, a little...
[Evan] Earth tones.
And also, like, we love lush and cozy.
Just a space that feels like us as much as possible.
[Jeff] So how old are the kids?
So 12, six, and one.
-Wow. -[Jeff] Twelve, six, and one, okay.
Yeah. I wanted a house where, like, all the rooms for the kids were upstairs.
[Megan] Oh, yeah.
[Ashlee] And these rooms are probably all not clean.
-[Evan] Oh, yeah, they're not. -[Ashlee laughs]
[Jeff] But are all... All of our Barbies are naked. I don't know...
Us too 'cause they get in the bath and everything.
-And the pool. -Yeah. [laughs]
And all the boys have dresses and I don't know. Honestly, I don't...
I don't do drag, so I don't know where she's getting that idea.
[all laugh]
I used to take my Barbies and I'd cut their hair off, so you know.
And this is our room and we haven't touched it.
-[Jeff] Okay. -[Ashlee] So this is, like, where...
[Evan] We just have a bed and that was the rocking chair.
[Ashlee] We really wanna, like, get a bed and get a whole new thing.
Okay.
I don't even know what's possible,
but, like, even really cool wallpaper would be amazing.
-[Jeff] Yeah. -[Megan] Mm-hmm.
-[Jeff] It's a big room. -[Megan] Yeah.
[Ashlee] Yeah.
I wish you could do, like, a wood, like, something interesting.
-Oh, that would be pretty. -Yeah.
[Ashlee] Here, I don't know, something.
Yeah, something interesting that feels, like, special.
We we're hanging our TV from these, like, chains
and that did not work. [laughs]
What are you married to in here?
-Not anything. -[Evan] No.
I mean, this is, like, our old furniture.
-[Jeff] So everything. -[Ashlee] Yeah.
[Ashlee] I feel like we had ideas where we were going with it.
We know what we like, but we kind of needed, like,
somebody to step in and help us get this room done.
Help us put it all together, yeah.
It's a special room. It's our bedroom. You know what I mean?
[Ashlee] Your bedroom's, like, your one place that you really, you know,
wanna feel...
She definitely spends more time in the bedroom than I do.
Yeah, and, like, turn the fireplace on, be cozy, watch movies with the kids.
Also have me time, so yeah.
Early bedtimes.
And have less time.
-Yeah. [laughs] -Yeah. [laughs]
And then out here is so nice. We, obviously...
We have never really spent time out here
and it would be nice to make it.
-I even thought plants and everything. -[Megan] Oh, yeah.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah, this could be beautiful.
[Megan] Oh, this could be really done.
And you guys are doing such a great job with these plants out here.
[Ashlee laughs]
[Evan] I don't think I've ever put water here.
[Ashlee] I've never put water.
[Megan] But this is big. This could be really nice.
[Ashlee] Yeah, something.
-[Evan] Couldn't it be, though? -[Megan] Yeah.
It could even be a special little space. We just didn't...
We haven't figured it out.
Ashlee and Evan's house, I really like it.
It's a nice house, a nice neighborhood, and I like their decor.
They take risks. I don't think they're afraid of color.
I don't think they're afraid of pattern, mixing all of those things together.
Actually, I'm feeling a bit inspired.
-[Evan] So excited. -[Megan] Yeah.
Okay, so I'm liking the idea of the ceiling, so I'm wondering...
I am too.
I wonder if we should bring someone in for a bid on that and just see.
-I think it would be amazing. -It would be so moody and cozy and warm.
-[Ashlee] Yeah. -[Evan] It would be incredible.
[Ashlee] I love that.
We could custom-make the bed.
-Is it a king? -[Ashlee] Cal king.
But I think we should do king because we're not very tall.
We want an actual bed that's customized for us.
Like, it's sometimes hard to find a bed that's already there
that is just perfect.
So, you know, Jeff liked that idea as well
about kind of developing, like, creating that bed specifically for us.
Mm-hmm.
Problem is, if that's a California king, the headboard, it can't go too much.
It can't go any further. It's fitting perfectly between those two windows.
No, no, no, no, no, it'll still cover the window.
And also, the window sill is very low.
So if you do bedside tables, they either have to come up
and cover a little bit of the window or they have to stay rolled up.
So there's things like that.
[Jeff] And I am thinking wallpaper, new window coverings.
-[Ashlee] Right. -[Evan] I'm excited.
[Megan] Yeah, it'll be great.
Finally, we're gonna have a room.
[all laugh]
I love it.
I feel like we had all these different ideas,
but he he seemed very...
I feel like he's been very...
Jeff has been really open with us, which has been really nice.
Yeah, you have very good taste. I like what you've done.
Thank you.
-[Megan] Bye, guys. -Bye.
[Jeff] See you later.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] All these people are going to Chick-fil-A.
Every single one.
-We all get lemonades? -Yeah.
Yeah, that's the gay drink.
Okay, so we're all getting gay lemonades and then...
Four gay lemonades, two gay chicken sandwich combos.
[Jeff] How many calories are the fries? Maybe I can do it.
-Fries are 420. -Ooh.
Or you could get a fruit cup, 60.
Side salad has more calories than the fries have, 470.
I'm not doing fries today. I gotta get down to my dating weight.
This is ridiculous.
Chick-fil-A is really convenient. They have a drive-through.
Are we paying with cash or card today?
Um, I'm gonna play with... I guess I'll play with card today.
Okay, I'll go ahead and read this order back.
Did you say pay or play?
Pay. My bad.
Oh, I misunderstood. Okay, bye.
Okay, where are you gonna put all of these drinks?
They're gonna give us a little gay carrier.
Okay, I got room for two right here.
[woman] Here is your beverages.
Thank you.
And we're working on that right now for you.
Okay.
I tend to pick one meal at one restaurant and repeat it every day for weeks, months.
And then one day, I just don't feel like it.
And then I go to another restaurant and then that goes on for weeks, months.
I kind of do that with a lot of things. I do it with clothing.
I do it with, you know, food, drinks, friends, TV shows, people.
I do it with people. I hang...
No, seriously, I wanna, like, hang out with this person all the time
and then one day, I don't feel like hanging out with that person.
I do that. So I kind of do that with a lot of things.
Oh, I'm so glad we ate.
Me too.
I was hangry.
I could see it in your eyes.
[pop music plays]
[Frank] Hey, Jeff, so I just marked these out for him.
Is the water feature gonna be, like, here or are you thinking further up?
-[Jeff] I think further up. -Are you sure?
Yeah.
Like, where? You have these stairs.
Remember, we wanna try to give him a big space here to turn his car around.
We removed trees and roots and stumps
and now we're figuring out the garden walls.
How big are the flower beds gonna be?
How many concrete pads are there gonna be?
What are gonna be the size of the concrete pads?
So it takes time to stake it out and, you know,
a few hundred times to make sure it's perfect.
You also have to consider that we need to make it
from this elevation to there with the foot
and then you need a landing.
I guess what I was visually thinking,
that you have, like, four or five steps.
-Mm-hmm. -Then the water feature.
Yeah, yeah, I see.
[Jeff] When you're doing a large-scale job like this,
you know, you are gonna run into problems.
Megan and Tyler were busy on other projects.
And my concern is if that I'm not... somebody isn't there watching every day,
I would never meet the time frame that I gave Anthony.
I gotta figure that out.
So all of this dirt is gonna go?
All of this, this big chunk.
And then that whole mound of roots is leaving?
[Frank] Yeah, that's what they're working on.
Okay, then you have a truck here tomorrow?
Tomorrow a truck and then he'll come back with another load.
Okay.
[Frank] It's better than just sitting there.
I agree.
How many loads do you think he's gonna have to do?
[Shane laughs]
I think three. Why did you laugh at that?
'Cause he's a pervert.
Oh. [laughs]
That's nasty. He's gonna dump three loads.
[all laugh]
What does he charge per load?
[all laugh]
I'm serious. [laughs]
I'll let you know tomorrow morning.
[Jeff] Okay.
[Frank] All right, thanks, Jeff.
-[Jeff] All right, thanks. -All right.
[laughs]
[pop music plays]
[Shane] Melissa's house.
Wow. Guess what the price is for the Foro toilet paper holder.
I didn't even ask.
Before anything, it's $760.
[gasps] What?
-Oh, shit. -I mean, that's some nice toilet paper.
[Jeff] Melissa Rivers, I mean, look, her last house
was published in Architectural Digest.
Most of my clients are spoiled and they're used to the best.
Melissa has very good taste and most of the time
good taste comes with very big price tags.
Oh, my God.
You need a project where we're not gonna go massively overbudget.
-I don't have any of those. -Look, I'm just asking for one.
[Jeff laughs]
[pop music plays]
Do you wanna go over some preliminary shit?
[Jeff] Yeah.
Okay, so for...
Is that how you're gonna present it to Melissa?
-Melissa. -[laughs]
So for the, uh, Roman shades...
So she did a little diagram of how they'll lift.
They don't have to be up that high. They can come down a little bit more.
But that's how it'll look. Yes? Good?
Yeah, very professional drawing. Yes.
[Megan] I thought so.
Okay, so originally we had talked about 30.
And you have to make sure that it's the same as the two other mirrors,
which I think... [laughs] Why are you laughing?
'Cause that's... I mean, it just seems, like, obvious to me, but okay.
[Megan] Maybe she wants a bigger makeup mirror than the other two mirrors.
Three different sizes. [laughs]
[laughs]
All of you. Done. Over it.
[Shane] Small, medium, and large.
-Okay, keep going. -[laughs]
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Goldilocks.
[all laugh]
Stupid, Megan. Like, of course we want 'em all the same size.
Are you gonna inset it into the paneling?
[Jeff] Yes. [laughs] Yes, we are.
[Megan] Okay.
You might hang it on the paneling with a frame. I don't know.
On a robe hook.
[all laugh]
By the way, did you look at the prices of those things?
I was gonna tell you. What, like, $700 for a toilet...
When were you gonna tell me?
-Because we started looking in the car. -Well, I was hoping to get the discount.
It was $700 for the toilet paper holder.
Place isn't cheap.
[Shane] It's a nice toilet paper holder.
-I'm gonna get fired, dude. -[Shane] Yeah.
You're the one who wanted to go to Waterworks for the hardware.
[Melissa] Hello.
Hi. We were just talking about you. How's it going?
[Melissa] Good.
[Jeff] So we do need...
-Hi. -Hi.
[Jeff] We do need your expertise.
Okay, that's scary.
This is where your countertop is, right?
-[Melissa] Okay. -[Jeff] Your mirror will start here.
Correct.
Okay. This is 42 inches. This is 48 inches.
I feel like 48's a little bit tall, but you tell me.
[Melissa] Huh. Is there any way we can go a little wider?
I'd like to go as wide as we can.
I just think we're getting... we're getting...
We're there, right?
Okay, again, you're you and I'm me,
which is meaning I defer to you on these things.
Okay, while he's taping, what are we looking at?
-[Jeff] Windows. Coverings. -[Megan] Window coverings.
-[Jeff] So we're doing Roman shades. -[Megan] Roman shades.
[Megan] Yeah, what screams "Melissa" to you out of all of those?
[Jeff] Those aren't bad.
-[Melissa] That's pretty. -[Jeff] Yeah.
You're kind of narrowing it to these two.
I've rarely met a stripe I didn't like.
I do like this. It's light.
-I like that. -That's pretty. That's my favorite.
All right, let's look at the hardware.
Okay, so eight Arrow knobs.
[Jeff] Yes, and I like those. I think those are pretty.
[Melissa] I think they're pretty.
-[Shane] And then this. -[Melissa] Perfect.
Okay, great. So the next thing are the doors.
-I'm not into this. -[Melissa] No.
[Jeff] This is out, for sure. We're not into this one.
That's goodbye. I'm tempted to go here.
-[Jeff] Mm-hmm. -And let the hardware be so pretty.
[Jeff] Yes.
[Melissa] I like this.
All right, so we're going with that one.
[Megan] Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
[Jeff] You ordered the cabinet.
Yeah.
You added the electrical. You're ordering the mirror. You're gonna order the shade.
Mm-hmm.
So where are we gonna cut costs with this one?
[laughs] That's what I keep thinking. I'm like, "Oh..."
Don't talk to me. That's not my business.
I didn't disregard the budget, but when you approve something...
When you approve $20,000 in plumbing fixtures or $26,000 in slabs,
like, you have to know that you're gonna have to pony up more money.
-[Megan] All right, cool, cool. -[Melissa] Thank you.
[Jeff] All right. All right, great meeting.
-[Megan] Bye, Melissa. -[Melissa] Bye.
[Shane] Bye.
[pop music plays]
-[Jeff] Hi. -[Evan] Hey.
-[Jeff] Morning. -[Evan] Good to see you.
-[Jeff] How's it going? -[Evan] So good.
-This is Evan. -Nice to meet you.
Evan. Juan.
Uh, we're gonna measure the master bedroom today.
[Evan] Perfect!
Ashlee and Evan's house, they want to add some more custom details.
So, Juan, specifically, like, we need heights for the windows
because we're gonna have to bring in night stands
and these windows are kind of low.
Yeah.
And then this width is pretty important too between the windows.
Okay.
[Jeff] So whatever you need, we can help you.
-All right. Okay. -[Jeff] Okay, cool.
Have you thought about these things yet?
[Jeff] You know, Megan agrees with me. We think they're a little heavy.
Is there somewhere else in the house we could potentially use them
or even give one to a friend?
-Yeah. -[Jeff] Because these are nice fixtures.
[Evan] Yeah, I mean, my mom loves them, I can give them to her.
[Jeff] Do you have the pictures for Evan?
-Couple of ideas. -That's incredible.
-I just want you to take a look at these. -Oh, my God, I love it.
And see if there's something that you...
And by the way, you could do a combination of.
So it's like, "I like that color, I like this,
but I don't like," you know, whatever.
It's amazing. I love that.
[Jeff] I think that's beautiful.
We love the bedrooms in, like, certain places with wood ceilings.
It's very, like, chalet and we actually didn't think
it was, like, an actual possibility to do the wood roof.
It was more like, "Wouldn't it be crazy if we could do a wood roof?"
And when we brought it up, he's like, "Oh, well, maybe we could do that."
It also reminds me of Aspen. But I love both of these.
[Jeff] I like their idea of paneling the ceiling.
The goal was to warm up the space 'cause it's just kind of a big, white box.
So we're gonna beef up the beams
and then the idea is we're gonna distress them a bit.
I have a contractor giving me a bid, so we could do this look
and then you and I can figure out the stains later.
-Absolutely. -Okay.
I think it'll be amazing.
So are you working on any projects right now?
Yeah, I'm developing two projects.
I just produced a film in London called The Loneliest Boy.
If you wanna do a sequel to The Loneliest Boy
called The Loneliest Man...
-Yeah? -I can help you with that.
-I love that. -Yeah.
-[Jeff] There they are. -Hey.
[Jeff] This is Tyler. -Hi.
-[Jeff] Razmik, this is Evan. -[Evan] Gentlemen.
-Evan. Nice to meet you. Pleasure. -Hi. Razmik. Nice to meet you.
-Tyler. -Nice to meet you.
Can you show him the inspiration pictures?
Ceiling.
[Razmik] Yeah.
[Jeff] So you panel that, add the four beams.
-You could do one and one, right? -[Razmik] Right.
And then continue it here and then have the cross.
Okay, and then obviously all stain-grade material
because we like the warmth of the stain.
[Razmik] Okay.
-[Jeff] So, Tyler... -[Tyler] Mm-hmm.
[Jeff] If you wanna come here, you can look at Evan's inspiration pictures.
Evan's like Wilmer, he's very involved.
Wilmer who?
Valderrama. Do you know him?
That's my brother, yeah.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Yeah, we're working with him. -I love him.
-Totally hands-on. -I can see that.
And he actually has really good taste.
-I can see that. -Have you seen his house?
[Evan] Yeah, are you gonna do the whole house or just...
We're doing, um, the great room, the kitchen/great room.
Mm-hmm.
His dining room, we opened up a wall, we're wallpapering.
[Evan] Amazing.
We're doing window coverings, window cushion.
Amazing.
We're getting a new front door for him 'cause that house is dark.
It's not like this house at all.
-No, it's very dark, but it's beautiful. -Yeah, but...
It's a great land.
But you run into, like, furniture and walls, it's so dark.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Um, okay, can you give me a bid on this?
Yeah, sure.
'Cause we would probably start on this pretty quickly.
[Razmik] Probably in two weeks. Is that okay?
[Jeff] You start in two weeks?
Uh, do you wanna be in season two or season one?
[laughs] Both seasons.
[all laugh]
-Well, let's get the price done today. -Oh, yeah.
And then we'll order the material.
Hey, Ismael.
Hi, Ismael. So we want to wallpaper in here.
So we need a primer here, right in here.
Just this room. Just the walls.
-That's it. -Mm-hmm.
[Evan] Hey, babe.
So if you wanna give us an estimate and then let us know when you could start.
[Evan] Did you see the picture?
[Ashlee] I love it. Oh, my gosh, that's so good.
Okay, good.
[Ashlee] It's gives, like, the Aspen-y feel that we like as well.
-[Evan] There we go. -That's what you said.
"Aspen-y"? It's funny because I've never heard it really described like that.
I just felt like, "Okay, you want color, you want pattern,
you want warmth, you want wood."
I've never been to Aspen, but I got it.
-[Ashlee] I love you. -Bye.
-[Ashlee] Yay! Okay, bye. -[chuckles] All right.
Can you, uh, move out of this room for a couple weeks?
Yeah.
He'll be under construction for I'm guessing two weeks.
If we get it to look like that, it would be amazing.
[pop music plays]
Melissa does tend to be more traditional, doesn't she?
Yeah. We pulled glammy. We pulled safe.
We pulled, you know, just a whole bunch.
But sometimes she surprises me.
[Megan] Are you doing the paneling all the way around the bathroom?
Yeah, but I have to talk to her about the money.
Oh, shit.
But she always, like...
Have you noticed that she's always just like,
"Oh, that doesn't cost that much, that's not..."?
-I'm like, "Well, no, it actually does." -It does.
Wood is wood. Finish carpenter is a finish carpenter.
Right, but she does brush it off like that.
-Mm-hmm. -"Figure out a way."
-Like, you'll figure it out. -Yeah, like it's my problem.
Melissa is like, "You know, figure it out, do your tricks, whatever."
What tricks?
Like, have sex for money to turn tricks? You want me to turn...
I don't know what she means by that.
These are all Waterworks?
-Let me see. -That's pretty.
-Yeah. -No.
She'd probably like this.
[Megan] Mm, that's pretty.
-Pretty. -Ooh.
-Look at it in brass. -Oh.
Erna is really pretty. Sorry.
[Katie] Yeah, really pretty.
[Jeff] She's pretty.
Can you just send that to me? And I'll just text her right now.
I'm like, "I love these sconces, can I get them?"
-[Megan] Mm-hmm. -I mean, let's see how easy she is.
If she is that easy, I feel like she'd be like, "Yeah, love 'em, buy 'em."
And then just order 'em.
"Figure it out how to pay for it. Love it."
"Oh, it's expensive? You'll figure it out."
That's the only one I'm afraid to ask for money.
I have no problem asking anyone else for money.
[Megan] Right.
I think you just tell Melissa, "If you wanna do this, you gotta...
It's gonna cost extra." I don't know.
She's gonna have to cough up some money.
-Melissa. -[Megan] Yeah.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Will you be getting the same thing you always get today?
Yeah, are you?
I just get the same thing because you don't have time to, like,
look at the menu and the pictures.
Well, what if we look at it right now? 'Cause I got seven minutes.
I'm telling you, those chicken nuggets are pretty good.
Ooh, or strips.
Is that healthier?
I mean, it's less breading.
You can do five, eight, 12, or 30.
-Yeah, get 30. -[laughs]
There's certain days where I get a little obsessive
about weight, calories, whatever,
but I don't know how much guilt and shame there is.
It's not like I get seven sandwiches.
I have one sandwich and I have a fry
and then whatever that Arnold Palmer drink they have.
I really wanna do 12, but I probably should be doing eight.
All right, how many calories are the eight nuggets?
Eight is 250 calories.
Okay.
-That actually seems great. -340 calories.
Still wish I could do those fries.
What if I eat half the fries?
[Shane] That sounds nice.
Oh, it's the same guy from yesterday.
-We're such losers. -[Shane] Oh, my God.
[Greg] How are you doing, sir? -Hey, how's it going? Good to see you.
[Greg] Good to see you too. Yeah, I took your order yesterday, right?
-Yeah. Yeah, you did. -Yeah.
-Can you pull up there? -Sure.
-That's embarrassing. -I know.
[Greg] Can I get a name, man?
I think that when the person
who is working the drive-through at Chick-fil-A recognizes you,
it's a bit of a wake-up call that I could have a problem.
I could have a problem. Yes, it is. It is.
I like Greg. He's nice.
We'll see him again tomorrow.
[pop music plays]
-[Jeff] Hey, Andrew, how are you good? -[Andrew] Good. How are you?
Good. Come on, I'll show you what's happening.
Andrew Coleman is someone that I used to work with.
He was my assistant for a while and then he went on his own.
So I'm bringing in Andrew to take over Anthony's house.
So I'll show you what's happening now.
They were gonna build the housing, like, for the water features,
but they didn't have all of the plumbing, the filter.
So the only thing that's excluded is...
-Grass. -We would have to buy...
Well, yeah, the landscaping. How did you get that?
Shane sent it to me and I printed it out.
[Shane] So profesh.
Why don't you ever do that?
I don't...
You went to, like, Kinko's or something?
-Yeah. -[Shane] It's called FedEx now, but yeah.
[Andrew] Or FedEx.
-FedEx bought Kinko's? -Like, 15 years ago.
Oh, shit. I didn't know that.
[all laugh]
[Jeff] There's a lot of work that needs to be done there.
We're doing dirt removal and then water features,
landscaping, irrigation, and exterior lighting.
-Okay, so I have a question. -Yeah.
What's our goal of getting this done, time frame?
Um, I just... I don't know how long it's gonna take.
I just know he was gonna start Monday.
But I think if we get it done and show that we move forward...
[Shane] Right.
Yeah, then I think he'd let us continue.
...fast and in good work, then we can continue.
Andrew is extremely resourceful. He just gets it done.
He already knows what I need.
-[Jeff] Thanks, Andrew. Good luck. -All right. Bye, guys.
[pop music plays]
This is a cute little place.
Yeah.
All right, can I have the budget?
Let me look at it right now so I can prepare myself.
So I need to do all the woodwork, plus the painting, plus the shower glass.
So we are going to be 25,000 overbudget, probably.
-She's gonna love that. -It's gonna put her in a great mood.
Many times during projects, you have to kind of reassess the budget.
It's never an easy conversation. Never.
-How are you? -Hi.
Inevitably, they get upset and say, "Why are we 50,000 overbudget?
The budget was 100."
And I say, "No, remember the conversation
where I said we were gonna land between 100 and 150?"
"No, I don't remember that." Like, it's just...
This is where the amnesia sets in.
And that happens a lot.
The shower looks amazing.
[Jeff] I'm glad. The slabs are absolutely stunning.
They're beautiful. They're beautiful.
And the way that they bookmatch them. Yes, a beautiful bathroom.
Yes.
It has been very expensive.
Yeah.
[Jeff] So I do kind of wanna go over all of these numbers with you.
Um, it was almost $17,000 for the plumbing fixtures.
The bathroom vanity is $7700.
The towel bars, robe hooks, cabinet hardware was almost $5,000.
So I just want you to know where the money's going.
Oh, I know where it's going.
We did do actually really great with the lighting.
We got the two sconces and the chandelier for $1300.
That's really good.
But where we are right now is 137.
-So if you remember... -Where do we start to cut?
We can't cut anything. This has all been paid for.
-So we're at 137. -Okay.
So I think it's gonna be about 150,000 to do everything we want.
Well, I mean, then we need to find ways to cut.
You know, everybody always thinks there's so much more than there is
and already done my annuals
to two of my two major charities.
Can I tell you what a genius you are?
You can't argue with, "I've just made huge donations to these charities."
"Sorry, I'm not gonna buy your paneling. I just saved teen lives."
I would be a dick if I was like, "Please, can you put stop-payment on the check?"
[all laugh]
It was a genius but bullshit excuse.
She gets an A for effort 'cause it really was
one of the most creative excuses that I've heard.
And I've heard them all. I've heard every one of them.
But never that one.
And I've been in this business a long time.
I don't even know what to say to get my money.
I don't know what to say to get $25,000 more.
No one's ever said that to me.
-[Shane] Yeah. -No one's ever said that to me.
There's a... I don't even know what to say. I have no...
[Shane] She's too charitable.
And by the way, I also believe as my mother said,
"Just like you take care of yourself, you have to take care of your house."
You update clothes you wear, get new lamp shades.
You know, it doesn't have to be a lot of money.
It sounds like her home was very important to her, as is yours.
[Melissa] Very. Very.
When you come home, it's your haven.
But I guess with this bathroom, I feel like it is more elegant.
If I was in that bathroom every day, I would feel like I'm successful.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Like, this is a...
It's a very well-done, expensive bathroom.
Bathroom. And by the way, and I need to feel successful
because we all are so filled, especially me.
I'm so riddled with self-doubt.
She was clearly, like, deflecting, projecting.
I mean, it was... and it was like a smokescreen.
She changed the subject, like, four or five times.
Like, I don't even know. What are we talking about now?
So it was like, "Look over here, look over there, let's talk about this."
I mean, I need more money.
I don't have to panel. I can paint.
-Mm-hmm. -Um...
I mean, obviously, I would love to panel
'cause I think it will be really beautiful.
I don't have numbers yet for the paneling or the painting.
-I have everything else accounted for. -Right.
I mean, let's see.
Obviously, it's not what I had budgeted for.
I just need to think about it.
[Jeff] This is where Melissa is reasonable.
You know, maybe in her head she's trying to be practical,
but ultimately it is what she wants, is a whole new suite.
I don't think she's gonna deny herself that.
I think she's gonna do everything we discussed.
This new house is very desirable.
Especially with my pretty, new Jeff Lewis bathroom
that he's gonna make happen for less money.
-Mm-hmm. -As a gift to me for being a good person.
-[laughs] -We're gonna have to call those charities
and tell 'em we just can't make those pledges.
You know what? If I didn't have short arms, I would reach across and smack you.
Maybe we can register the company as a 501c3 so you can write it off.
-There you go. -[Jeff] Mm.
I'm a depressed teen. I think this is really helping me.
[pop music plays]
[knocking on door]
-[Evan] Hello. -[Megan] Hello.
-Hey, how's it going? -Hi.
-Hi. Good to see you. -How are you?
Should we go in the space, do you think?
-[Evan] Yes, let's go upstairs. -Okay.
Should we just not throw this shit on your bed?
Yeah, you're fine. Yeah, no, we don't care.
-[Jeff] Do you mind? Okay. -No, not at all.
Do you mind if we do a footboard?
Oh, that'd be pretty.
It'd be really cool.
And then Megan did come up with, um, which I thought was a good idea,
to do, like, suede wallpaper on the bed wall.
I love that.
And then maybe do a different pattern,
like, a coordinating pattern on the other walls.
So if you did a suede wall, you're saying you can do a lower headboard, right?
-Yeah. -Yes.
This is so cool. So is that.
[Jeff] We have a lot of choices.
-I'd like you guys to just go through. -[Ashlee] Go through it? Okay.
Feel, like, what speaks to you.
Okay.
[Jeff] Ashlee and Evan keep saying, like, "Aspen-y."
So, you know, some of these higher-end mountain vacation homes
is kind of what I think their vision is, so I'm just trying to...
provide that for them.
-[Evan] Look at that too. -[Ashlee] Mm-hmm. I love that.
-[Evan] Wow. -[Ashlee] That is really cool.
[Evan] I'm obsessed with these. These are wild. Look at that.
Do you have a color of what the wood will be?
Yes. You see, there's a little bit of a variation here.
Okay.
I mean, we were considering kind of going with the same tones of the floor.
[Ashlee] Mm-hmm.
[Jeff] But then definitely going darker on the beams.
Oh, I'm so excited.
It's solid, stain-grade wood.
Okay, good. Oh, my God. That'll be so cozy and beautiful.
I love this. This is my fave.
[Jeff] And it does pick up the tones in the doors.
[Ashlee] I'm into it.
And then what color are we doing the drapes?
-We'll bring you different options. -Okay.
-[Jeff] So we'll bring you everything. -Okay, great.
[Jeff] We won't make any decisions without you.
You have all of these samples and then sometimes the client
might put two or three together that I didn't see,
or I wouldn't choose myself, and then I happen to like it.
I think that Ashlee and Evan,
they're creative people and they're artists,
and I think they're very visual.
And I don't always deal with that, so it's kind of fun
when you kind of collectively can come up with something together.
-[Ashlee] Thank you. Bye. -[Evan] I'm so, so excited.
[Jeff] All right, see you guys later. Thank you. We'll see you next week.
-[Ashlee] Bye. -[Evan] See you, guys.
[pop music plays]
[Melissa] Hello.
Are you sleeping here? Living here?
-Oh, God, no. I can't. -No, not yet?
[Shane] There's no bathroom.
Oh, you need a bathroom?
But don't you have, like, six other bathrooms?
Yes, but unfortunately because of supply chain,
the furniture that I was supposed to be sleeping on is delayed.
So are you sleeping on a mattress or in your old bed?
I right now am in my rental until they physically remove me.
And then I'll come over.
Okay, so the painter absolutely confirmed for Monday.
Okay, and how long is that gonna take?
He's pretty quick and he has a big crew. Let's say a week.
[Melissa] Okay.
We were able to allocate more money to the budget,
which allowed us to do the paneling and painting.
I'm glad we did.
You know, it really kind of completed the bathroom.
This, we need to find, like, a nice, soft grey with a light taupe.
And then I think this should be white.
What do you think? 'Cause you're quiet.
I don't know about the two-tone. I think it's classier when it's all...
But I wanna be able to see...
Like, when you look at these pictures, the fact you can see these...
-[Megan] It accentuates it. -[Melissa] Yes.
So the other option, Melissa, is if this becomes a beautiful grey,
this is white, white, the baseboards and the crown are white.
That works for me too.
-Okay. -[Megan] I think that's prettier.
I think it's a little more drama.
I absolutely agree with you. There should be two colors.
Yeah. It's: what are the colors?
And then how dark do we go on that?
-[Melissa] That's really pretty. -[Jeff] It is pretty.
[Megan] This is Farrow & Ball, just so you know.
Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?
Why'd you have to show her that?
I mean, if you spend $155,000 on this bathroom...
Yeah.
I would expect you to paint it all Farrow & Ball.
The problem with Farrow & Ball is the price.
[Jeff] I mean, how many gallons are we gonna need?
Two gallons, 150 bucks.
Yeah, it's not that big of a deal.
[Jeff] Right?
I mean, unless their prices went up.
[Jeff] We're gonna, what, save 80 bucks? Okay, we'll buy that one.
We wonder why we're overbudget.
-[Megan] Right. -[Jeff laughs]
I'm just saying.
Last time I was with Jeff, we talked about the paneling
and it's something that we really wanted.
I'm glad it's something that we were able to work out.
It makes it so incredibly special and makes it feel very glam.
I'm so excited to get it painted.
Have you spent $155,000 in a bathroom?
Never in my life and never will I.
But this is gorgeous.
All I'm gonna say is thank God you didn't work with my mother because...
We would have spent millions.
-[Melissa] Yeah. -Millions.
[Megan] You would've had a good time.
[Melissa] You guys would have had fun.
[pop music plays]
This looks great. When are they coming to get this?
Uh, Monday morning. First thing Monday morning.
So... sorry to interrupt, I have to leave in 14 minutes.
Okay, well, let's go. Guys, I'll be back. Let me go honeymoon with Jeff.
Where are we going, Jeff?
All right, I just... I think it'll be easier if we look at it from down here.
So the water feature is gonna be here, right?
Uh-huh.
The problem is I didn't want you to stare at a big, white stuccoed wall.
Right.
So what we decided to do is a lower-tiered flower bed in front of it.
So that way I can get some low landscaping
so you're not staring at a wall.
-So here are the two water features. -Mm-hmm.
So now what's gonna happen is you're gonna have three different tiers.
-[Anthony] Right. -[Jeff] Right.
So there's a lower tier, then a little bit of a higher tier.
[Andrew] The water feature drops down to this landing.
-Oh, is he? Okay. -[Jeff] Yeah.
[Anthony] I love what he did with the crayons.
-[Andrew] Did you like that? -I do.
[Andrew] I just wanted you to see more green.
-[Anthony] Oh, okay. -[laughs]
[Jeff] I know that we're gonna extend this just a little bit.
[Anthony] Mm-hmm.
[Jeff] Initially stopped here.
I still think it's best that we give you a little bit more room
-so you can turn the car around. -Okay.
But you're gonna have a lot of lawn here.
Okay.
And we did... Look at all this. So this...
I just wanted soft and, I mean, it just seems like... Yeah.
[Jeff] I know what you're saying. That's why we got the green crayons out.
[chuckles]
When are we gonna start the pour?
Well, we're gonna form on Monday.
We're gonna start forming on Monday. Okay.
-And then he's gonna want approval. -Okay.
And then once we get approval from you, we'll pour.
[Jeff] I brought in Andrew because it's better that we have someone there.
My feeling is I do this front yard for him
and then we'll see if you're happy with me.
I did everything I said I was gonna do.
I did it in the time frame we agreed to.
So we'll do the front yard and then we'll go from there.
-[Anthony] All right. -All right, I'll see you later.
-[Anthony] All right. -[Andrew] Have a good one.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Oh, is that Greg?
[horn honks]
What's up, Greg.
[Greg] What's up, Jeff.
Sorry, that was Greg at Chick-fil-A.
You know what? Maybe Greg should come work for us.
[Shane] I think that's a really good idea.
[pop music plays]
[Melissa] Hi.
[Jeff] You look cute. you should go somewhere after this.
-Should I let you lead the way? -No, you, it's your house.
Oh, my God!
[pop music plays]
I am so excited and so happy!
-[Jeff] Really? -Oh, my God, it's amazing!
First of all, the shower, I love it.
[Megan] Gorgeous.
-I love that fixture in there. -[Melissa] I do too.
[Jeff] I think it's so beautiful, that back plate.
[Melissa] Yes.
[Jeff] I'm obsessed with the slabs.
Well, yes, but the darker square, I've never seen that before. I love it.
Obsessed with that.
That reminds me of a hotel. It's like art.
Well, talk about art, the pulls on everything.
Yeah.
[Melissa] Just amazing.
[Jeff] And look, I think the cabinetry was fine.
I just think this is next level.
[Melissa] Oh, did so much better.
[Megan] Oh, my. It's ridiculous.
[Melissa] I think with the cabinetry, if we had left the old,
it would stand out.
It wasn't just a coat of paint kind of fix.
The mirror came out perfectly.
[Jeff] That mirror makes this bathroom look twice as big.
[Melissa] Oh, and I also think that's part of what makes it look glamorous.
[Jeff] It visually expanded the bathroom.
The whole vanity area, remember, it was really skinny.
-[Jeff] And it dipped down. Okay. -[Melissa] And it dipped down.
-[Jeff] I'm glad we custom-made it. -[Melissa] Yeah, 'cause of the size.
But what I also love is you definitely gave it that little bit of glam.
It just elevates it another level.
I've always needed a bathroom that's more functional.
So that was the biggest challenge,
was taking this space that's fine and making it work for me.
So it really is such a useful space for me.
[Megan] The crown molding's so pretty.
[Melissa] Oh, yeah.
I think the shades came out great.
[Megan] They're pretty.
I do like the window coverings.
They're amazing. Great, great print.
And the color is perfect on the walls. I love that grey.
Oh, yeah.
I got the pretty paneling.
It makes me happy because it feels like I didn't have to give something up.
I love looking at it. It's just... It's so pretty.
That tub is ridiculously beautiful.
It feels very glamorous in here to me.
Very, very high-end boutique hotel feeling.
-Yeah. -[Melissa] Yes.
I feel... I feel special in here.
It's a very happy, good-feeling house.
I agree. But you know, like, when you move into a new house
and you have to get used to all the new creaks?
That's the tile cracking, probably, is what you're hearing.
-[Melissa] Perfect. -[Jeff] Yeah, it's moving.
Don't even. Don't even make that joke.
-Okay, I'm sorry. -[Melissa] Thank you.
No, we did an incredible amount of work
to make sure that the tile does not crack.
-[Melissa] And remember, it wasn't level. -[Jeff] Right.
And you like it. So you like the marble, you like the pattern.
There is... There is nothing I don't love.
[Jeff] Good.
If I were to do this in my house, I wouldn't change a single thing.
I would try to spend more money, actually, if that was even possible.
And you would figure out a way to.
[all laugh]
We definitely ended up going overbudget.
But I can honestly say it was worth it.
And you can see where the money went and enjoy it,
and enjoy it every day and enjoy it for however many years I'm in this house.
And at least the first thing I do every morning
when I get up to brush my teeth, I can step in there and go,
"Wow, I have a really pretty bathroom."
[Jeff] This is an expensive bathroom.
Your mom had great taste. Would she approve of this bathroom?
[Melissa] One hundred percent.
Okay, good. Good, I'm glad. I love it. It's beautiful.
I love it. It's so pretty.
I am extremely, extremely impressed.
Well, thank you for being so patient. I know that we had a few hiccups.
Oh, I'm so happy. Thank you.
Where are you going tonight? Where are you off to? You look so cute.
I'm not going anywhere.
[Shane] Sounds fun.
[Melissa] Not very different than most Friday nights.
[Jeff] Oh, my God.
-[Jeff] How are you? -[Christopher] Good.
-Good to see you. -Good to see you.
-I'm Mira Sorvino. -And I'm Christopher Backus.
[Mira] The pool was, like, the epicenter of our family life
and the kids really miss it.
I had always sort of wanted to have, like, a white grotto like they have in Capri.
A water slide and underneath, like, a waterfall and a bench in it.
This was delayed, right?
[Megan] I think he's probably at least four weeks.
We're like...
I don't wanna bring furniture in the space
until the wallpaper is in and this stuff is done.
[Megan] It gets dirty. I agree.
[Jeff] What about the art?
[Wilmer] I feel like, um, this is an opportunity to find something.
Like, what do you lean towards in that room?
[Jeff] I mean, I always like photography too.
