-It's a big room. -Yeah
I wish you could do like wood, like something interesting
Oh, that would be pretty.
Jeff has been really open with us, which is really nice.
I am thinking wallpaper. We could custom make the bed.
-Ah, yeah! -Finally, we're gonna have a room.
-Hey, Andrew, how are you? -Good, how are you?
I have way too much on my plate, so I'm bringing in Andrew
as an associate. I'll show you what's happening now.
He can get things done very quickly.
He is the perfect person to take over Anthony's house.
How did you get that?
Shane sent it to me, and I printed it out.
-Why don't you ever do that? -Super timeless.
Ooh, that's pretty.
Totally. You're going to do a home that I'd like to swim at.
I love everything that he has done so far. It does feel more like our home.
I definitely like that it swivels. It's nice.
[Jeff] Yeah, it's pretty chair.
[Shane] Do you want coffee?
[Megan] I'll have a coffee. Almond milk would be great.
So, we'll go down to the office, Megan.
[Megan] That sounds so lovely and profesh.
[Jeff] I have several projects under construction.
So, if I'm not doing check-ins once or twice a week,
Things do slip between the cracks. They just do
Okay.
Okay, so let me tell you what I have.
Thank you.
[Jeff] I need wallpaper for Ashley and Evan.
-[Megan] We have it. -Window coverings for Ashley and Evan.
Don't have it because we need to find out what colors we're going with in there.
-Patterns and dark colors and... -For the curtains. Okay.
-Oh. For the curtains maybe not. -Yeah.
[Jeff] In Evan and Ashley's house, we're doing the primary bedroom.
We're adding beams on the ceiling, which we're going to stain.
I think it's going to look amazing.
For Anthony's water features,
I love the black and white and Moroccan-y kind of tile.
-Okay. -I just thought it'd be really nice
as you walk up to see the little pattern.
We'll probably do black spouts.
We have to order those. I'm looking for more of like a Moroccan-y,
kind of modern-looking Spanish tile like his house.
Because his house is kind of a blend.
Yes, it has a tile roof. I mean otherwise, it feels a little more modern to me.
-Oh, God. -Is that my cat?
Somebody wanted in.
[meowing
What are you doing Carver?
With Wilmer, when do you think those seat cushions, the pillows,
the window coverings be ready, do you think?
We are shopping for a rug. We're getting new dining room chairs and new chandelier.
We're doing window seat cushion pillows and window coverings.
Once all of the furniture is purchased and delivered, it will be pretty much
completed at Wilmer's. Just waiting for the front door to come.
-Alright, so you have your list. -Yes.
[meows]
-Is that the cat again? -Yeah. I like that...
He always goes to the people that are allergic.
How are you Chad? Thanks for coming today.
These were all meant for the dining room, right?
-[Chad] Correct. -Okay.
You can shop with clients all day long, but unless they see it
in their house, sometimes clients are on the fence making the purchase.
So, with people that are more involved like Wilmer, I just fill a moving van
full of furniture that I think works, place in the space.
Let them sit in it, let them see it. That's been very effective.
The wallpaper is beautiful. I haven't seen it.
[Wilmer] It makes a dramatic difference.
Did you try a lighter rug in here?
-How'd it look? -[Tyler] We tried three options.
-How'd it look? -[Tyler] It was kind of dull.
-[Jeff] Oh, I love that one. -That's really--
[Jeff] It really brightened up the room.
[Tyler] Do you prefer this one or the other one?
-[Amanda] I like the other one. -[Tyler] I like the other one too.
[Tyler] Amanda likes this is a little silvery-blue.
-[Wilmer] Wow. -[Megan] That's good.
[Wilmer] Looks almost like leopard print in a weird way, you know?
[Tyler] Yeah, kind of.
-We like this, right? -Yeah. Can we put the table on it?
Yeah, because this this one right here. It's an attraction, right?
You come in, you're like, "Wow, the rug," you know?
[Amanda] Mm-hmm.
-Looks so good. -[Wilmer] It's fun too.
It's like your brain just melts.
You're like, "Oh my God, that's, like, very much us."
[Amanda] Yes, there's a tone in the rug that is on the wallpaper that I love.
-I think that rug was meant to be here. -I think you're right, Amanda.
Oh?
-I think this is the rug. -[Megan] Winner winner.
-[Amanda] For the first time. -That Amanda has expensive taste.
-What's the price? -$10,000.
It is not $10,000. And that's the one I picked?
[Jeff] Yeah.
-[Amanda] That's usually all him. -Not today.
[Amanda] I'm-- I'm the bargain shopper.
-I still don't believe you. -You think we're lying?
-I just got to see for myself, you know? -Trust issues.
-[Wilmer] Thankfully... -[Amanda] Oh, it's 50% off.
[Megan] Or should we get a rug going for that room? Yeah.
[Jeff] I love what we've done over at Wilmer's.
We're making the family home that makes sense for a future married couple
with a 6 month old baby.
[Amanda] Yeah, this one does nothing for me.
-It's boring. -Boring.
[Tyler] What about that other dining room rug?
No, right?
The funny thing is that it just-- it makes too much sense here.
That's, like, almost, like, the problem, right?
[Jeff] It falls flat.
It's what you-- It's what you would expect.
We're going to take what is now just kind of a very large kitchen
and make it more of a kitchen great room where you can have seating.
I have to add four chairs, couple side tables, and a rug.
I need a piece of art for the dining room, but we're almost done.
-[Tyler] I love this rug. -[Amanda] Wow, that's fun.
[Tyler] Mm-hmm.
-[Amanda] Looks good with the couch, too. -[Tyler] Yeah.
[Jeff] I think that's the one.
[Wilmer] So, now the question is those chairs.
[Megan] I know. We'll see what they look like.
-[Megan] There's blue, there's the rust... -Right.
[Amanda] Oh, these ones swivel!
[Tyler] The orange-- yeah, the orange one swivel.
-[Jeff] Those are great -[Megan] I mean, so pretty.
-[Jeff] That's nice. -[Megan] Yeah.
-[Amanda] Li'l peach. -[Megan] They're pretty too.
[Wilmer] The chairs are fantastic.
I prefer that one. I think it's a deeper, darker, richer color.
I think because of the darkness of this area,
this kind of makes it cozy and lights it up a little bit more.
[Amanda] I'm sold on those chairs.
Alright, that's good.
Having that living function in the kitchen--
I mean, game changer.
[Tyler] Do you wanna look at the pillows we got? Would that help you?
It feels good to have the baby have that space.
[Amanda] I can be in the kitchen and actually, like, see her from where I'm at.
To have things that really function like they're supposed to function
and at the same time
have the same level of elegance and uniqueness-- that was important to us.
-[Jeff] What about the art?
-For that room? -[Jeff] Yeah.
[Wilmer] I feel like this is an opportunity to
find something big, but I would love your help in finding it.
Like, what do you lean towards in that room?
I mean, I always like photography, too.
-[Tyler] Yeah, I like-- -Photography too. Yeah yeah yeah.
Okay, great. I love photography.
A G-Modern, something that kind of fits your house.
-[Wilmer] That's nice. -Want us to look?
Yeah, we can both look, you know, and we can send each other pictures.
I can keep my eyes open because pop into places all the time to see art.
Wilmer's aesthetic is not my aesthetic, but I'm understanding it
much more than I thought I would.
And then Chad's gonna look for a sofa back table.
-[Wilmer] Sweet. -Thank you.
Alright, thank you. You like it, babe?
-It's great! -This is crazy.
What time would we arrive in Malibu?
11:03.
-Okay, that's good. -Yeah.
I met Mira Sorvino and her husband
at a... I think it was Thanksgiving or something.
We have a mutual friend
I'm going to be working with Chris and Mira on their backyard.
I know they're in Malibu. I know it's like this beautiful view.
Look how beautiful that beach looks.
There's so many beautiful properties here.
I know, and that guy was handsome, too.
I didn't see that. Which one?
-Oh, that's the building. -[car proximity warning beeps]
Oh sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry.
Well, I'm glad your car was thinking ahead.
Thank God the car stopped itself.
-Are we close? -Yeah. .2 on the right.
[Megan] What's all that?
[Jeff] I don't know.
-Glad I didn't wear my heels. -Be careful with that one, Shane.
It's loose.
[Shane] Oh wow.
[Jeff] Wow, look at these views.
-[Chris] Hello. -[Jeff] How are you?
-[Mira] Hi. -[Chris] Good.
-Good to see you. -Nice to see you.
-Hi, good to see you. -Hi, good to see you.
This is Shane, my assistant, and then my associate, Megan.
-Hi. I'm Megan. Really nice to meet you. -I'm Chris. Nice to meet you, too.
-Hi, how are you? -[Jeff] The view's incredible.
-I'm Mira Sorvino. -And I'm Christopher Backus.
[Mira] We've been married for almost 18 years.
We're both actors.
-We have four children. -And we've lived here for 18 years.
[Jeff] The house is very cute from the front.
Yeah. I just-- I'd rather we just kind of focus on the pool area.
[Jeff] Oh, sure.
Most people will invite me in their house and show me around.
Most people-- like everybody, but not in this particular case.
I don't feel like they're comfortable showing me the house.
I haven't seen the inside of the house, but the outside is cute.
It's like a cute little Malibu beach house.
-It's a huge pool. -Yeah, that's the great thing about it.
There's been a pool here since the 70s, and it hasn't been changed since 1976.
Now, were you thinking of shrinking at all, Mira?
-Making it less deep? Or do you like the-- -Oh, no, we like the depth.
-We love the depth. -Okay.
All our kids are older, and they all really love
-swimming and playing, like, basketball. -[Jeff] Fine.
It could be so beautiful.
Like, right now it's just sort of like an unfinished project.
So, all of this is not landscaped. It's not beautiful.
It's all kind of eyesore-ish right now, but it has, like, incredible potential.
[Jeff] There's so much work that needs to be done, it was overwhelming.
For me, it would be very depressing to see that every single day.
I feel for them. It is a mess. I think they're in over their heads.
So then, this is the area you want to focus on right now.
-[Chris] Yes. -Okay.
So, that's the thing-- we have to maximize it to actually have the value
that it really has the potential.
And we want it to be beautiful and live in it.
[Jeff] And then there's all this stuff out by the front.
There's about 19 garbage bags on the driveway.
There's a lot of stuff, like, everywhere, like, in the driveway.
There is an old car, and then there's, like, trash bags.
Just stuff everywhere. They want to remodel the pool,
but there's a ton of work to be done. So, I don't know what's going on.
So what happened was, during the Woolsey Fire, our house got smoked,
and we had to send all of our belongings away to be de-smoked.
-[Jeff] How close did the fire come? -It came all the way down our hill.
-[Megan] Really? -[Mira] So, towards the hill.
[Jeff] That was all burnt.
-[Mira] Yeah. -[Chris] That was all on fire.
[Megan] Oh my gosh.
So, just-- was everything in your house ruined?
-Yes. -All the soft-sided things were,
and everything else had to be sent away to be, like, treated
or treated on site, like, with, like-- they had these--
Upholstery, window coverings.
Yeah. We had to throw away all of our mattresses and our sofas.
And yeah, it was-- it was a bummer.
So, it just came literally all the way down to the house.
It came down to the street,
and our neighbor and the fire department put it out.
We had a neighbor down the road who was defending all of our houses.
He stayed. He was-- he had just had a baby,
and he's a local real estate guy, actually pretty well-known.
And... came out with a hose and also a shovel and put out these spot fires.
All of our belongings came back in like 10 million boxes.
And we had two storage containers, and we have the shed.
And I need the mental fortitude to go through stuff
and, like, ruthlessly throw things away.
-[Jeff] Wow. -Yeah.
And you almost have to-- ever list your house,
you have to list it with that real estate agent.
-Otherwise, you just-- -[Megan] That's right. Indebted.
Before the pool got filled with ashes, before the fire, before COVID,
the pool was like the epicenter of our family life.
And the pool got filled with this sort of silty ash, and it wrecked the surface.
The kids really miss it.
We just want to have this really special place for the family to enjoy
-and make memories together. -With the pool fences,
-are the kids old enough now?
-Oh, you can get rid of those. -Yeah, the pool fences are gone.
-They can come down. -Okay.
[Jeff] It's devastating.
I do like that this pool is going to bring them some joy,
you know, and I feel like it's a start to putting the property back together.
Maybe this is going to turn their luck around, right?
We were hoping that, like, this would be here,
um, but make it high enough
so that when you're sitting in it, you can see the ocean.
Because this is so pretty, and why not take advantage of it
when you're just sitting here, lounging
rather than when you're down here and you're like,
"I can't see the horizon at all." It's-- it's a real--
It's a waste, you know? We were just about to redo the pool,
and we have friends who are friends with Jeff and they're like,
"Maybe Jeff would like to get involved with this."
So, we were like, "Well, it might be very interesting to bring in an expert
and really help us turn this around."
-Is it two more feet or...? Seating at the concrete level.
And also make it a little bigger,
'cause think about, like, six 6-footers around here.
It's just a little small now.
[Jeff] It's very important to them that they have a large Jacuzzi, a large spa
so the entire family can soak together.
I don't jacuzzi with my entire family.
Um, they don't-- I don't invite them, but they wouldn't want to either.
We've already bought the pavers.
The pavers are the big 24 by 24 light travertine.
They're in stock. They're at the place, and he's just--
And the tiles are there.
But then just to have, like, the outdoor kitchen type of thing
running along, like, this parallel here.
And you could have maybe a bar at one corner.
We had been hoping to do some sort of fire pit situation.
If we had like a fire pit thing here
and just sit and enjoy a cocktail and look out that way,
it would be amazing because the sunsets here are insane
[Jeff] So, we want a fire pit, we want a outdoor kitchen.
We want a larger spa, we want to raise the spa.
We already have the tile. We need to lay all this tile.
Yeah. There's a whole list of prerequisites.
I also had another idea. It's just nuts and I'll tell you about it.
Be careful.
So, we got married in Capri,
and I had always sort of wanted to have
like a white grotto like they have in Capri.
With like a water slide and underneath like a waterfall and a bench in it,
and you could sit there and just, like, pretend you were on the Amalfi Coast.
It's just like my sentimental thing about like Capri and everything.
That might be just like, something special that you do when you're in Capri.
Maybe.
When you look around, the money is better spent elsewhere than a grotto.
With everything that she wants and our budget,
there's going to have to be some hard decisions,
and she's going to have to eliminate some things on her wish list.
And then we already have a bid for all of this work?
Yes, and he's coming.
We actually already paid him to finish the plastering.
So, you might want to at least use him for that part
'cause it's already been paid for.
-Hi, I'm Jeff. -How are you?
-Hey, nice to meet you. I'm Matt. -Nice to meet you. Hi.
-Nice to meet you. -Good to see you guys.
[Jeff] They were saying that we want to use our guy,
but I've never worked with Matt before so I did look up pictures of his work.
You can do our yardscape. You know to build a deck.
All of that I learned from his pictures.
-How old is this plumbing? -This pool is old.
Do you agree that the whole pool needs to be replumbed
-and we need all new electrical? -I mean if it doesn't have leaks,
-it doesn't need to. -Then I wonder if you should test.
-We could test the pool. -Do you have an auto fill?
We can add. I don't think they have.
What about an over-- like an overflow drain, a surface drain?
I think it's always good to do some surface drains, I think.
We could do that. It's-- it's really an easy thing to do.
Yeah.
[Chris] I think Jeff's aesthetic-- I mean, he's just--
He's clearly got a wonderful eye of what he's looking at and what he sees.
And he has a vision.
And I think everything that we've had so far, he's been super collaborative.
To have someone come in and help build this Oasis that
that fits into where we live and what we want to do, I think is exciting.
He saw the potential for a pretty dramatic turn around, so...
What do you think price range wise? Where are we at?
I don't remember numbers.
I was sitting on it, and I send you guys everything.
Just roughly, like, what is it? Is it another--
Another tough one. Honestly, I just really don't remember.
So, what is your schedule like? Are you working on other projects right now?
-When could you start this one? -We do some other projects,
but we probably need a week or two before we can start.
[Jeff] We just simply cannot wait.
What is the fastest possible remodel you can do?
Um...
I think the faster you can do it, the more likely you're gonna do it.
I wanna say probably around like 8 weeks.
That's eight weeks, like, starting in a in a week?
And then that would be eight weeks?
Probably about.
Yeah, I'll go over everything, and I will send you everything.
Uh, when do you think you could have that item-- that itemized bid?
A day or two.
Okay, because if we are going with you, I want to commit to you
-so you can put us on the schedule. -No problem.
And then what do you need? Like a $25 deposit?
$10.
Okay, all right, sounds good.
All right, thank you very much for your time.
I really appreciate it. Nice to meet you guys.
You talk too much.
After meeting Matt, I do like him.
I do like him. I do have a good feeling about him.
He seems like a pretty on-top-of-it, smart guy,
but I know it's going to be expensive.
So, I think what we need to do is we need to have Juan out here
to measure and start putting together a plan.
-[Shane] A plan. -[Megan] Yeah.
[phone ringing]
-Hello. -Hey, it's Jeff. Good morning.
Good morning. Is Frank on his way?
Yeah. What's going on with the excavation and dirt removal?
I was having the guys try to finish compacting it all today.
Is Frank on his way here?
He'll be there at 10. We will not be there.
Oh. All right.
-All right, bye. -Bye.
Can you put a steak down there and a steak here?
-No. You're just eyeing it. -Okay.
That's horrible. Is that hard?
Is it? If it's not hard, I wanna try it. What do I have to do?
Okay. Strong.
-Do I push down? -Yeah, [indistinct]
Okay. How the fuck do you keep this straight?
Well, straight as a gay guy can go.
Okay, that's not fun.
What about that thing? Is that more fun?
What does this thing do? Does it vibrate?
That's a lot more powerful than my dildo.
Why am I doing all this work? I just wanted to try the machine.
-I'm impressed with the progress. -Moving very fast.
And I actually love sleeping in our guest room.
-I'm going to miss being in my guest room. -I'm ready to be in our room.
[Jeff] ...a minute away. We can walk it.
-[indistinct] -[Shane] Yeah.
-[Jeff] Hi. -Hi!
-How's it going? -[Tyler] Good. How are you guys?
We are good.
-Hi. Hi! -Hi. Good to see you.
[Jeff] Today we have to choose the fabrics for the primary bedroom.
And I like the house. I like the way they're doing it.
It feels kind of fun and youthful. And since I'm on a quest
to be-- you know, to be younger,
I'm enjoying working with Evan and Ashley.
My mom was obsessed with this.
-This wallpaper. -This one?
She's obsessed. They're all jealous. It's good.
You know, I was, like, questioning that for so long,
but now I'm on board with it.
-This one? -Yeah.
I think that because that room gets so much light...
-Yeah. -...you can get away with it.
-Yeah. -It's very special.
Okay. For bed, we're doing this shape, right?
-[Jeff] That is the bed. -[Ashlee] Yeah.
-We're going to custom make it. -Okay. That's so pretty. I love it.
It's the furniture gonna be probably the thing that takes the longest, right?
Well, we can probably get that bed-- what is it, five or six weeks?
Oh, I think less than that.
[Jeff] We can move them back in their room soon or no?
I-- I wouldn't get rid of your bed.
No. We moved it to the guest room.
Well, I guess if we're gonna wallpaper and window coverings, all of that.
-This such a pain in the ass for you guys. -[Ashlee] Oh, we're fine. [chuckles]
Okay, that's great.
I cannot wait to have this bed and have our room.
I do know that these things take time, but...
-I'm excited to walk in there now. -...in progress will be exciting.
It's already on his way, so I'm excited.
[Megan] Those are bed fabric.
-Normally, we would tailor it down. -[Ashlee] Right.
But we're just going to give you a lot of choices,
because I'm not sure what you guys will be drawn to.
[Ashlee] Okay.
[Evan] The darker might be best, huh?
You went to the exact fabric I did. However, these two--
They're saying it might look a little too dark in some light,
so maybe you take it upstairs and you kind of look at where the light is hitting.
But that was the very first fabric I went to.
[Ashlee] And then if we went lighter...
-[Megan] The whole bed... -This thing?
Yeah, I thought so too. I liked that.
-What are you feeling? -I like the way it fits with this color.
In here, I see how that works.
-[Jeff] I like them both. I like them... -I think it's pretty. I like them, too.
[Megan] I really like the five shades of green.
Is this the winner then? This is the bed? I really do like that too.
I think-- I think this will be it if we're gonna go light.
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah, I think it works too.
So, we're on the same page with the board, then, right?
-I think it really works really well. -They're positive, they're happy,
they're appreciative, and they've been out of their primary bedroom for six weeks.
-All right, we're off. We'll see you guys. -Okay, thanks guys!
-[Evan] I'm so excited. -[Ashlee] So excited, great choices.
It's not like they're sleeping in the living room, right?
They've got like 7 bedrooms in that house, so let's not feel sorry for them.
I think they're fine.
Do you ever think, like, when you do all this,
-you kind of want to then redo your house? -All the time.
-I know. It's addictive. -All the time.
-Did you see that picture of you aged? -I haven't looked at it yet.
It's the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
-Look at this picture of Shane. -[Shane] That's the scariest photo.
[Tyler] That is Shane.
-It's cute. -This is-- this is Shane, right?
-Wow! -Isn't that great?
Wait, I wanna see it again now that I know what you look like when you're young.
-[Shane] We have to get him a facelift. -[Katie] Cute.
[Megan] You should come with me.
-All right. -Yeah.
-Welcome, Katie. -Thank you.
How long you been here?
-Um, with Megan? Or at the house? -Megan.
Um, just about a week, I'd say.
-Yeah, she's doing great. -Very new.
[Jeff] For Wilmer's, you have to figure out--
I don't know if he would let us take art from other structures.
-Oh, did you see what they want to do? -[Tyler] Yeah.
-All the pregnancy photos? -What? In the dining room?
Right, so they want to do these--
They're beautiful. They're gorgeous photos.
Did you tell him no?
I put it very delicately. I wasn't going to be like, "That's a terrible idea."
I mean, he's in love with these pictures.
I just said they seemed very personal for the dining room.
And then he's like, "Should we print them in black and white or color?"
-I mean, he wasn't-- he wasn't listening. -I think it should go in their bedroom.
Okay, well, they wanna put-- they wanna make them really big,
and they wanna put them-- two of them-- in the dining room.
-Actors, man. -[Shane] They're so drama.
-Ohh, Jesus. -She's really cute.
-[Tyler] So cute. -I bet they're great.
They're really cool but not for the dining room.
-It's just a different experience. -It is.
I don't think it's a good idea of putting pregnancy photos of yourself
in a formal dining room or any form of space for that matter.
If I was sitting next to someone in a dining room having dinner,
I-- I do-- I would find myself kind of averting my eyes,
because they seem like they should be private photos.
They're private photos. Private They should be in his office,
in the primary bedroom, whatever.
I just don't think it's appropriate.
-You see what... -What, is there something in my hair?
Wait. Lower teeth. Lower.
You have this big piece of--
Well, you know, the nice thing to do would be to--
instead of just laughing and then, like, having a little private conference
about what's in my teeth-- would be for you to be like, "Megan.
There' something in your..." Not to just sit there and laugh.
Your entire tooth look blacked out.
[Shane] I knew that's why you were laughing.
-[Jeff] Do you have that bid with you? -[Shane] Yeah.
I feel like Mira and Chris are more comfortable working with Matt.
-I think Matt can get the job done fast. -Right.
And I think Matt is willing to negotiate and work within our budget.
And his bid is profesh.
I like his font. I like his heading.
-[Jeff] Hey, how are you? Good. -[Chris] How are you?
Based on the budget, we're going to have to make some decisions.
-And I mean it's going to be like a menu. -Okay.
So, she's not-- she's not going to be able to get everything she wants.
-Yeah. -I'll deliver the news.
-Yep. -And then we'll just do
like a good guy, bad guy.
I'm-- because I like you,
I'm willing to be bad guy today, and then you can kind of talk to her.
-Yeah, that's fine. -Does she have a temper, your wife?
-No. -Okay.
-No. [laughs] -Okay.
-[Chris] Hey, honey. -Hi!
-Hi. Good morning. How are you? -[Mira] How are you?
-Good. Hey, Matt. -How are you?
Good. Alright, so I received the complete estimate from Matt with your wish list.
It came out to be 150 grand.
So, we obviously have to now back some things out.
-Okay. -So, we'll have to kind of go over
what is important to you.
I want you to be happy as you can be, but you're not going to get
every single thing that you want.
-Okay. -So, um, basically,
we've got a $90,000 budget.
Yeah.
He came back to me with everything he can do for 90,000.
So, you can demo the entire deck.
-Yeah. -You will install new coping.
-Mm-hmm. -You're going to plaster the pool,
and then you're saying it is the fire pit or the kitchen, it's not both.
Yeah.
Well, I think we've got to do the-- I think we gotta do the outdoor kitchen,
I think, to make this the outdoor gathering place.
The fire pit we can always add in later.
And there's no spa modification whatsoever in the price.
No.
-So, no raising, no enlarging... -Really?
[Jeff] Really.
There's no raising, there's no enlarging.
I know that's really important to you.
It's another $20,000 to enlarge and raise the spa.
What I can do, just to kind of help out, I can do it for 16.
You know, just to try to help out. I'll throw in three grand out of my profit
to work with you guys on this one if it works for you.
-That's very nice. Thank you. - I would drop it down to 16.
Okay, great.
To me, it's a priority because we were just in a spa together as a family,
and my sons' sizes now-- like, we were all on top of each other.
And it was this size. -[Jeff] We're still 13,000 over budget.
Trying to do my best.
What are the chances the entire family would be in the spot at the same time?
Lots.
Can't we put three in the pool, and you guys just rotate?
No, because you end up hanging out here.
This is like where you hang out when you're done swimming.
[Jeff] She gave me her wish list, but guess what.
We live on planet Earth. Can't possibly do all of these things
that you want for the budget that we have.
[Jeff] Look.
I think it'd be really nice to have a bigger spot, raised, infinity.
I think it would change the whole look of the pool. I think it would be gorgeous.
I think Matt just has to agree to do all of it for 90 grand.
[sighs] 90, 95...
Let's cut it to a half.
-What does that mean? -So, it's 13. Let's cut it to a half.
-Six and a half? -That's going to be less than--
Might not cover my cost, even. I would just do it, yeah.
-$96,500, is that what you're saying? -Yeah.
So, I mean...
Look, I don't think the price is going to get any better.
He's doing almost everything we want to do.
How much for the fire pit if we want to add the fire pit?
-I'll do it for two grand. -So, we're at 98.5 right now.
That's-- to me, that's worth it. You'll be super happy.
Like, I think it's a win.
And I think that to leave it at the end when we're so close
and Matt's willing to do it for two grand, let's just do it.
Like, let's do it all now, and then we're done.
Because I want you to have this.
-That's the most important thing. -Yeah, I mean, that's fine.
-That's fine. Yeah. -So, let's agree to that.
-[Matt] Okay? -Are you okay with that?
Yeah. Yeah.
I think our ambitions, perhaps, were-- were greater than our budget.
I have a question. Have you guys ever done the kind of pool system that's like...
oxygenated rather than sea salt or chlorine?
I'm not familiar with that one, so...
-Okay, I'll-- I'll find you the info. -Send it to me. I will look it up.
I haven't done that.
I'm gonna just look it up for you and send it to you
and see what you know about it,
just because it seemed like the healthiest and the cleanest.
Are you trying to add that now?
Because we just-- we just put a deal together
No, no. I'm just saying because you're replacing the system.
So, I'm just saying which system are we replacing it with?
Stop there. You got everything you wanted.
-Okay. All right. -You got your kitchen,
you've got your spa, you got your fire pit
but we do have to-- I mean, not to be Debbie Downer here,
but we do have to remind you that if he goes through
and he finds plumbing repairs, it's not included.
It's another seven to ten grand depending on copper versus...
Okay, so then we'll reassess everything in the budget
and all the different options and-- yes.
-[Jeff] Right. -And then we will start Monday.
-[Jeff] Alright, sounds good, guys. -[Mira] Alright, thank you.
-Are we good? -[Jeff] Thank you.
Mira, you're in a good mood now. I love it. I love that you're happy.
[Shane] Andrew got a new wallpaper. You're going to love it.
So, his bed wall-- he installed it. Just wait.
-[Shane] Do you have the picture? -Let me see right now.
Just you need to look at every little scenario that's happening.
-This is on your bedroom wall? -[Jeff] And he has got a kid.
You've got to be kidding me.
-[Andrew] What? It's natural. -Oh, God.
Where do you buy this?
-You love it. -[Tyler] What?
You gotta manifest what you want?
-Okay. -What happened with Wilmer's art?
She said she found it. She's just looking for a place to blow it up.
It's those pregnancy photos.
-That's terrible. -She just wants to get them blown up,
-and then they're done. -They're gonna put two in there?
[Tyler] One on each side.
No, no. One on each side?
You won't be able to avoid it, no matter where you look.
We've been kind of looking for art for the dining room,
but they want to use the pregnancy photos.
That sounds terrible to me. It will ____ up the design.
Ask to see it.
Have you been able to choose any art for the dining room?
Question mark. I heard something
about Amanda's pregnancy photos, which I think is a bad idea
for a formal dining room. Let me know. Thanks.
-[Tyler] Don't think you should say that. -[Megan] No.
-All right, how am I-- -It's coming in a little hot.
-[Megan] Yeah. -[Tyler] Just take out the last part.
I think you leave it in. Be honest right up front. It's horrible.
I think so too.
-[Tyler] They're beautiful pictures... -It's not-- it's not--
-It's too intimate. -[Shane] It's not-- it's not appropriate.
Look at your _____ wallpaper.
-Talkin' about "intimate." -I wish I could have gotten
some of myself to put up there.
Do I say "inappropriate"?
-No. -No. "Seems like the wrong choice.
-for a dining room. -[Tyler] "Wrong location", maybe.
-[Megan] Yeah, that's perfect. -Sent.
Okay.
-Wilmer. -[Megan gasps]
-[Megan] Okay wait, listen. -"Hola, the photographs are stunning
"and not what you're probably picturing.
"Surprised you haven't seen them. Some in your team has.
-I'll have them send you the selects." -[Tyler] Yeah, there you go.
-[Shane] He's moving forward. -Now he's doing it.
That's a no. That was a no. That was a pushback.
-[Megan] Forget it. -Don't care.
-Fine. I tried. -[Megan] You did.
-You gave it a college try. [Jeff] Maybe one more time and say--
-No. -[Tyler] I-- I think he wants them up.
-Yeah. -Has anyone seen them? Who has seen them?
-[Tyler] I saw one picture. -[Megan] I saw a lot of them.
-[Andrew] Is she new to...? -No. No.
[Jeff] "Megan and Tyler..." I'm gonna throw you both under the bus.
-No. Don't throw us under the bus. -"have seen them..."
-[Megan] And say they're beautiful. -Yeah. They both said they're beautiful.
"and loved them.
Maybe the bedroom would be a better location."
Yeah, I'm fine with that.
Yeah, sure, I want to see the photos,
but I don't want to put them in the dining room.
I can tell you that right now.
[text notification]
-Did you send it? -[Jeff] Yeah.
[Tyler] They have public family photos throughout their whole house, though.
-Some people do that. -Yeah.
I just don't want to see naked pictures of anybody when I'm eating.
-[Megan] She's not naked. -[Shane] What's she wearing underwater?
-What's she wearing? -She's wearing a beautiful night gown.
-[Tyler] Yeah, white, and it's like flowy, -Oh, I thought she was naked.
[Megan and Tyler] No!
[Jeff] I don't like a bunch of family photos anyway.
Well, you're not living in that house, so that's good.
-Do you have pictures of Monroe anywhere? -I think I only have two.
[Shane] Two, like, yeah...
Framed photos in my room. Sometimes I like to forget I have kids.
And also maybe if I had someone over, I don't want them to know.
They won't tell by the Barbie Dream House?
-Wow, look at the new statue. -Oh, I love that.
We should get you one of those.
-[Jeff] Oh, hey. -Dude, I'm so incredibly sorry.
Hey, I can't believe how busy you are.
I was-- I knew this had something-- I knew you were involved in this,
and we just looked. We've been Googling you.
And then I've been watching Encanto all weekend.
-Oh, yeah? Did you love it? -I had no idea it was you.
-Yeah. -And so we just Googled you.
I got a Google you more often and keep up with you.
Yeah, dude, that's the biggest point of my career.
That's a-- that's, like, a big deal.
I've been wanting to play Zorro since seven years old,
walking around the back... you know?
What I'm hearing is bigger budget. That's what I'm hearing.
In regards to the art, where are you with that? Have you had it printed?
We kind of put a pin on it because there was such a strong opinion
among our-- our design family here.
-[Tyler] Yeah. -You know? So we started really thinking.
-Sorry I was blunt and I was... yeah. -No, but it is what it is.
It's like you're creating a space.
You know, we thought this space has a more of a personal space
because it is the house, you know? But at the same time--
Let me just throw something out real quick. Excuse me.
What about blowing them up more and making them more abstract?
I hear what you're saying.
That, like, doesn't make sense in a dining room, you know?
So I just felt like maybe we come full circle to this conversation.
We go acquire some piece of art that really complements and elevates the room,
based on the texture and the lion's heads and all those things.
Wilmer, I think, either thought about what I said
or he asked other people and got other opinions.
But, I mean, I'm relieved.
[Jeff] Think about what we can do.
Well, unless you have something with less clothes.
But, look, if I was as hot as you two, I'd probably want photos of myself
all over the house. I totally get it.
[Shane] Right.
Oh yeah, I want one for my house. I just don't know about your house.
But if you're handing them out, I'll take one.
Okay, well, we-- we-- I mean, I'm open to reinterpret that.
-Hi. How are you? -How are you?
Um, alright, so we have your window fabrics.
-What's going on with the cone? -Uh, he's done something to his eye.
-[Megan] My goodness, so pretty. -[Ashlee] Yeah.
[Evan] It looks so nice at night with the windows open, you know?
It's kind of interesting when you're doing something very drastic to your room,
because we changed the ceiling to a wood ceiling.
It's feeling really good already.
There's, like-- it's darker, but our room has a lot of light.
So, it can really take it, and I'm really excited.
I actually think it kind of makes the room ten times better.
You can see the actual shape of the room.
Once we start getting, like, the drapes and everything,
it's really gonna pull it all together. But right now I'm super excited
-with where we're at. -[Evan] It's really cool.
-[Megan] Wow! -When this is open
-to, like, the doors... -With the trees and the wood and the...
[Megan] Yeah.
It's great.
[Jeff] The wood ceiling is so beautiful.
The ceiling becomes, really, the focal point.
I think it's a design element that we collectively thought really would
transform the space, and it did.
Okay. The next thing is the bed.
So, we already picked the fabric. We already have the style.
He now has the drawing, and then how tall does he have the headboard again?
-[Tyler] Headboard five and a half. -[Megan] It's all the same material.
Okay, so you're here.
I think that's nice, unless you want to go lower so you get more wallpaper.
-[Ashlee] Okay. -Yeah, you don't wanna go lower.
-You lose drama when you could do the... -And then the bed's not as cool.
Okay.
[Jeff] And then we'll send it to them for approval.
-Okay. -This was delayed, right?
-The wallpaper was delayed. -[Evan] Okay.
[Megan] Things are getting delayed.
It's kind of the story of, like, the world right now.
[Jeff] It just would be nice.
It would be nice to be able to do this reveal in season one, not season three.
-[Megan] I agree. -I don't know.
It's just become part of our everyday life, you know?
Now, with the delays and the lead times.
So, what am I going to do?
Keep complaining about it? Even if it's in stock,
it's still four weeks, which by the way, in my mind, is not in stock.
[Jeff] The bed won't be here till when?
[Megan] I think he's probably at least four weeks.
No, but I think maybe we should put off the furniture shopping.
We're like...
The only thing about prematurely
shopping for furniture is that I can't hold it for three weeks.
Like, I need to have it delivered and put into space.
-Right. -Which I don't want to do right now.
So, I think we hold off on the shopping.
I think we hold off before we buy the furniture.
Are you being serious?
I don't wanna bring furniture in the space
-and the wallpapers in... -[Megan] Yeah. It gets dirty.
and this stuff is done and this is brought--
-You know what I mean? -[Evan] Yeah, so you know what it is.
Because we'd be doing rugs at the same time, too.
[Megan] Yeah.
I do know that these things take time, so...
For now my stuff is just all over the house.
-Got a toothbrush in every kid's bathroom. -I can literally live in a tent outside.
-It's all good. -Exactly.
Because we got, like-- the room's gonna be great.
-Well, I apologize again. -[Evan] That's fine.
[Jeff] Okay. Alright, we'll figure it out.
-Thanks guys. -[Evan] Thank you, thank you.
-Hi, Amanda. -Hi, how are you?
[Jeff] Good.
-[Wilmer] It's beautiful. -[Jeff] You're happy?
Oh, so happy.
It's beautiful. It's still elegant, but it's fun and spacious.
And it's like-- almost like you're in the lobby of a cool little hotel.
-[Jeff] Looks amazing. -[Amanda] It is!
-[Wilmer] Yeah. -It's actually helping her walk.
She's, like, going from each little--
-[Wilmer] And, Jeff, you know what? -Really?
Yeah, for sure. She loves that little area, too.
-Like, I know. -Mm-hmm.
She's starting to go from-- from chair to chair,
so it's definitely surfacing the way it was supposed to.
Yeah.
[Jeff] They live in that room.
I knew they were going to end up using that. I knew it.
But it makes sense. It's right off the kitchen.
You know, it reinforces to me that I made the right decision.
This is-- this is exactly what we needed to happen.
So you like it, you're comfortable, you're using it...
And it does create a different flow in there.
Like, family will walk in, immediately they go to sit down in there.
It's been great how the kitchen now feels and functions,
and all of that has created, you know, a very unique
new habitat for us as a family. And I think it's really cool to see that
that's kind of how we are evolving to be and commute with the space.
The flow that was created, you know, just feels right.
And the dining room is just--
-I mean, it's so beautiful. -[Wilmer] Amazing.
-It's amazing. -[Jeff] It's elevated,
but it's still very consistent with what you've done here.
Like, it's not a clear departure for what you've done.
Yeah, I don't know if I consciously pat myself on the back.
and be like, "That was a great idea," but I am pleased
with my ideas. I like the way it turned out.
-I'm really happy with it. -[Amanda] This is my favorite.
This open wall, like, not having that here anymore is game changer.
I love what they did.
I think that they created a whole new flow and openness
and, like, elevated those rooms.
It was so fun to see them taking down that wall, and then just, like, be able
to have that transformation was, like, the most exciting part for me.
-[Jeff] This is a beautiful room. -[Megan] It really is.
I love what you guys did with the drapes and, like, even the cushion.
Like, honestly all these little details makes a huge difference.
-[Megan] Doesn't it? -[Amanda] Yeah.
[Wilmer] The mirror is gorgeous in that room
[Jeff] And because it really shows off the wallpaper too.
Yeah. That aggressive wallpaper just makes it just, you know...
-[Megan] Aggressive. -[Wilmer] So aggressive.
I just love what that two-tone experience has done to the--
I don't even flinch anymore when you say that.
For us, I think it's important that who we are
kind of reflects in our home. I associate a lot of these strong dark colors
with the level of elegance and sophistication that comes with design.
Um, which defines a lot of who we are as individuals.
[Jeff] I really like this piece in here For the dining room,
I just ended up putting up this piece of art from my house.
I just gave it to them. I think it works.
-And this is like a whole different-- -Oh, it's amazing.
It's almost like the next chapter of the rest of the house.
-[Jeff] Agreed. -[Amanda] I'm super excited for this space
especially now that this is all open.
[Jeff] It looks amazing.
-I love the door so much. -I think taking out the-the door
and opening it out and adding that much glass to the entryway--
I think it's awesome.
Feels right.
Now, people are gonna start using this front door,
but have them come in and go to the right.
And then they can see this and they can see what's happening in here.
I think that Jeff walks into a space and he's really quick to
just express how he feels about certain things.
And that could feel a little invasive, because you're like "This is my home.
Like, you're coming in here telling me what you don't like."
But I think that a lot of the opinions that he had
were able to kind of also let us see things a little bit differently.
Like a different perspective for both of us.
I love the process with you and the team and everyone.
It's just so-- and I think it's creatively seeing more fun to bounce ideas.
And I hope that it's been stimulating for you, I guess, for--
to do something a little different. You know, that's been really fun.
This was very different for me, but I kind of loved it.
I feel like it was such a fun partnership because we could both dream it out loud.
You can pull me in a direction where I need to go
and you can still consider the aggressiveness of some of the ideas.
And you've definitely expanded my horizons
and you took me to a place that I'm not normally comfortable with,
but I actually am very happy with the result.
Well, I'm happy to hear that.
-[Jeff] [indistinct] don't you think? -Sounds like you're, like, the Bachelor.
You've taken me to a place I never thought I could get,
and you've opened up my mind.
I mean, really, it sounded like a line out of the Bachelor.
Okay, alright. Now that I'm embarrassed...
I think that if Jeff and I were in the Bachelor, I for sure would get his rose.
Would I get the final rose? I don't know.
You know, he's also remodeling other homes, so I can't take it personal.
He's gonna go on all the other dates, and this rose
definitely commemorates that we have a connection.
My heart is incredibly open to whatever new frontier we could go to.
Um, we are...
I don't know if-if you're gonna kill me for saying this,
but we are already thinking about...
[Megan] Uh-oh.
-Another baby? -I mean, I'll let her say it
if she wants to say it out loud.
Yeah, we are thinking about having another baby.
So, with that being said, we definitely need another room.
[Wilmer] For sure.
So, we got to figure out how we're going to go about that.
We'd be happy to continue on and working with him.
[Megan] Absolutely. Yeah, for sure.
We're really fulfilled by the experience, and I think it's a new beginning.
And I think the relationship between Jeff and the Valderrama family--
I think it's-- is one that is just beginning.
All right. Shane?
Say goodbye to your friends. We're leaving.
I don't wanna leave. I love it here.
I like working with him a lot, because he was open-minded, right?
So, it really did feel like a collaboration,
and I think that's what made it fun.
And I also felt respected and I felt a sense of appreciation.
Which is nice. You don't always get that.
I can't say that about everybody, but I would work with them again for sure.
-Thanks, man. See you later. -Hey, thank you.
-[indistinct] Thank you, Jeff.
-[Megan] Bye, guys. -[Wilmer] Yeah, yeah, for sure.
[Jeff] Yeah, I wanna go through all of this with you.
We're putting in walls there?
Yeah, short. Short like flower bed walls.
You look like you're a little freaked out.
I'm just going to ask you why.
Really nice. My husband, when I met him he had
a town home and we use one of the bedrooms as a podcast room.
So, we're gonna fix that room.
[Jeff] Oh yeah. We got a lot of work to do in here.
-[Roselyn] A lot of work. -[Evan] Hey.
-[Megan] Hi. Come on in. -[Jeff] Oh, hey.
Let me just see if they can do it with our own fabric.
Yeah.
So, they're going to make the drapes out of the fabric?
-How much more is that gonna cost? -[Tyler] I don't know.
They want what they want, and I just need to-- I need to figure it out.
