-[Evan] Look at this. -[Ashlee] Look at this sitch.
[Megan] Ooh, that's nice.
-[Jeff] Do you like these? -[Megan] I do.
We could pick up a few pieces here, but we can't do a ton.
The hide wallpaper ended up being very expensive.
So I have to find some inexpensive furniture, which is not ideal.
I am Roselyn Sanchez. I'm an actress.
And this is where we do our podcast.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah, we got a lot of work to do in here, huh?
Wallpaper, paint, new doors, new window coverings,
new carpet, furniture, camera, lights.
That's it. How long you think it's gonna take you?
I need you to rapidito.
-When do you leave? -Monday.
And then do we see you again?
The first season, I couldn't come back at all.
And if it doesn't happen, then we'll have to do Zoom, FaceTime.
Totally understand.
Anthony went and looked at the house. He said, "Too much hardscape for me.
I like trees and grass and things to soften the area."
-I heard what you said. -Okay.
It was feeling, like, heavy in the hardscape.
So I don't want 5,000 linear feet of white walls.
Right.
There was a few things I looked at
and kind of went back to the drawing board and tweaked,
which made him happy.
[chuckles]
[Jeff] Look at this, it's gonna be amazing.
Mm-hmm.
I'm super stoked about the outside,
but I would love some of your advice on the inside too.
Sure.
You have the touch and we're just lesbians.
[all laugh]
[theme music plays]
[pop music plays]
-[Shane] Hi. -[Andrew] Hi.
-[Shane] How's it going? -Great.
[Shane] You guys look cute in your glasses.
[Jeff] Heads up. It's gonna be a very busy time this week.
I know.
'Cause we still have Anthony, we have Mira,
we have Ashlee and Evan, and we have Roselyn.
At Anthony's, the steps have been poured.
The water features are formed.
So now we have to choose and install the fountain tile.
Okay, what's going on with Anthony's today?
Frank just got back into town,
so I'm gonna meet him tomorrow morning to go over stuff.
I have two samples to show you.
-Okay. -The ones I think are the best.
Okay. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna send him pictures.
"What do you like? Which way do you wanna go with this?"
So, Andrew, since you're at Anthony's, which is five minutes away,
I want you to supervise the wallpaper install at Ashlee and Evan's.
What? You want me to supervise the wallpaper install?
[gasps] I do declare!
[laughs]
[Tyler] When does the wallpaper come in?
It's, like, way too much.
[Jeff] That was a little much, yeah.
Okay, so go ahead. What day?
Ask Megan. I think it's Tuesday. I think it's Tuesday.
-But Megan is not available. -Yeah.
So we need to find a rug or two, accessories, and art.
And then Tyler will work on Fortune's.
Yes.
[Jeff] I'm now working on the interior of Fortune's house.
I can't leave. I mean, they just keep adding things and adding things.
I'll be a Fortune's the entire season.
Now we're focusing on the interior, little things.
We wanna refinish the floors, we wanna paint the interior,
get real closet doors instead of the drapes,
and get all-new furniture.
Did you hire Razmik yet?
[Shane] No.
-Can you reach out to him right now? -Yeah.
Tell him we have a punch list for him at Roselyn's.
Roselyn and her husband, Eric, have a work-from-home space.
We're doing carpet, new closet doors and paneling,
skim-coat the walls, and then we're gonna add some furniture.
Are they coming into town?
Roselyn could potentially come home within the next four weeks.
But that said, she almost came home this weekend,
so I wanna finish it so it's ready.
I wanna just cross it off the list.
At Mira's, we've been negotiating with Matt on the stairs
'cause we didn't expect the stairs to be part of the budget,
but they're falling apart.
So I got two bids.
And Mira is going to replace the rotted wood
and whatever wood is damaged and then build all the new steps for 9800.
So we went with that.
By the way, I gave her a compliment. She didn't respond.
I was like, "You look great."
'Cause I saw her in Shining Vale.
But I think I said she looked gorgeous or something,
but she didn't get back to me.
Some people don't like to be called attractive.
She's like, "Tell me I'm talented."
-Yeah, that's the thing. -We should.
We should have said, "You're doing a great job."
That's what I'll do on Friday.
The pretty girls wanna be told that they're smart and talented.
-Tell me I'm talented. -I just wanna be told I'm pretty.
Is that what we're gonna start telling you?
-Mm-hmm. -God, you're so good at your job, Shane.
-Thank you. -So talented.
Thank you so much. That means a lot.
People say I'm hot all the time, but no one ever says I'm talented.
-I know. -[laughs]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Are you warm enough, Andrew?
It was cold this morning and it said it was gonna be 61 or something like that.
[Jeff] It's looking good, Frank.
Yeah, I think by the end of next week.
-[Jeff] I love the white wall. -It'll look awesome.
[Andrew] Like, everything's so nice and clean.
At Anthony's, 90% of the walls are built.
The fountains have been constructed.
I love the front yard water feature.
I think it's gonna complete the whole entrance.
It feels a little more modern to me.
Some of the wall caps are going in.
Then they're gonna be stuccoing the walls.
And now we're installing the fountain tile.
I wanted as much progress as possible for him to see.
If we're gonna do the stucco flush with the tile,
the tile needs to be done before we do the stucco.
Like, what's the transition between the tile?
-The transition? -Like, where...
It's just flat.
-[Frank] So then we need... -So you do need the tile first, don't you?
We need the tile before.
I have it right here.
We narrowed it down to those two because they're in stock.
I told her to hold them for us.
That's why I've kept the samples, so nobody can see 'em.
[Jeff] Hey, what's your favorite tile-wise?
[Frank] The dark one.
[Jeff] The one on the right?
Yeah, only because of the fact that we're gonna do white stucco.
And then I think that would look better with the water.
My first reaction is the one on the right, but I do love 'em both.
I think that we have so many white walls
that the darker bottom in this is gonna be nice.
Do you have a first choice?
I like left.
[Jeff] The one on the left does feel more modern.
But I'll send a picture to Anthony.
We'll let him pick one because we need to order it.
Do you want me pricing both?
[Jeff] Would you, so I can just give him the option?
Let me include him in the selection process.
I'll let him know how much it is.
[Andrew] All right, I'll get you a quote today.
The only negative I have working with Anthony
is he's always, always working.
However, he also wants to be involved in a lot of these decisions,
so I have to get approval.
Can I just fix this for a second?
It's hot.
[Shane] No, I like the off the shold.
[Andrew] Were you staring at my weiner?
No one looked, no one looked.
[Shane] I didn't even notice the shirt.
[Jeff] Did you see that T-shirt? I didn't even notice that.
He totally looked at my T-shirt.
Nothing surprises me with Andrew anymore.
[pop music plays]
[Fortune] Hi.
[Jeff] How are you ladies?
We're so good.
Oh, do you mind if I go in?
[laughs]
[Jeff] Um, look at the appliances. You got it?
Yeah, let me show you. I am so in love with this fridge.
The French doors are way better for this space.
-This is beautiful. -[Fortune] Thank you.
Wow, it's so nice and it fits perfectly.
-Yes. -Like, perfect.
It's, I think, so great. I love it.
It was, like, made for that space. So you've been going through everything.
Yeah, Jax has been working her booty off all day, every day, clearing out things.
[Jeff] You're motivated. You want this place redone.
[Fortune] She does.
[Jeff] Um, maybe we buy, like, two or three slabs.
And then whatever marble we do will probably go here.
Jax, do you want the marble?
Um... I mean, I would definitely want it.
[Fortune] Yeah?
Tyler? Tyler is the boss of us.
[laughs] I think the marble would... It would finish it off.
Okay.
So the 27th for the floor, so we need to be out for, like, a week or something?
[Jeff] Well, then there's painting.
Right.
You could technically move back in. Uh, we could paint the primary.
We could definitely be out for the floors.
[Jeff] You have to be out for the floors
'cause we have to get rid of all the furniture too.
When you're working throughout the entire house simultaneously,
it's good to just leave short-term.
The only time I really require someone to leave
is if we're doing the floors. You have to.
It's not ideal, but they're more open to leaving
'cause they were traveling most of the time.
We'd rather you not be here during the paint
just because you're not gonna wanna be.
But if you have to be, we can figure it out.
What's your schedule this week?
-[Fortune] I have a show Friday night. -[Jeff] Good.
That's gonna help pay for that marble.
-Marble. -[Fortune] Mm-hmm.
And the furniture.
That's the next show.
Okay.
We had, like, five days to completely move out.
I mean, like, not one thing could stay except for a few things in our bedroom.
It's a little nerve-wracking to leave
and put the rest of it in Jeff and Tyler's hands.
We trust Tyler. Jeff, we don't ever know what's happening.
Okay, so you're keeping this right now because you need a place to sit, correct?
[Fortune] Yes, but eventually it will go.
[Jeff] And then we have the bar cart, the table.
What about this? What's in here?
-Mm-mm. -[laughs]
[Fortune] Don't open. Don't open it. Oh, she locked it!
Two rooms are locked.
There's the guest room and then the master.
I don't know if they have jewelry or cash or drugs.
I don't know.
It's where we've been sleeping, so it's just messy. That's it.
She honestly could have left that door unlocked today because...
I think he thinks it's full of stuff. It's honestly not.
Why would you lock it?
Because I know you're gonna go in and it's messy.
I think you have stacked everything in that room.
All of my dirty panties are in there.
Don't go looking at my dirty panties, please.
[all laugh]
How many dirty panties are in there?
-[Fortune] Oh, there's so many. -[laughs]
There's so many. I said, "Lock that door, please."
[all laugh]
[Jeff] Well, you're hiding something in there.
Dirty panties.
[all laugh]
I want everyone to just know that my panties are not dirty.
They've been cleaned, uh,
and hopefully we find the right piece of furniture
that can house them.
Bye.
Bye, you whirling dervish.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] What is Andrew wearing?
[Megan] I don't know. It's not quite a long cardigan.
[Jeff] I swear to God, I think my grandmother had that.
[Megan] It's, like, a mid-length duster.
You don't like my sweater?
Do you wear that around the house?
I usually wear it around the house but with nothing else on except socks,
black knee-high ones.
That's a look.
-That is a look. -It is.
Anthony's tile's in,
so we can call and arrange for it to be picked up.
It was supposed to be delivered today.
I thought we were gonna deliver it today because Robert's installing tomorrow.
No. I didn't set it up for that.
Can you call them and see if we can schedule delivery?
[Andrew] I will. Yeah, I'll call.
-Mission? -Yeah.
-Which one did he choose? -They always have a pick-up.
-[Andrew] The one with more black. -[Megan] Pretty.
It will get there. It will be there by tomorrow for Robert.
He's starting in the morning, Andrew.
Do you think that maybe you could do it?
It will get there.
It will get there, one way or the other.
Is there any way we could get it there today?
Because what I don't want is Robert calling me in the morning
and saying, "Where's the tile?"
It will be there. It will be there for tomorrow morning.
[Jeff] Do you think I should move it to Friday?
Mm-mm.
But we have to get it there today. I don't know who's gonna be able to.
-How long have they had it? -Jeffrey.
I've told you three times, I promise it will get there.
If I had to go and strap it on the girl next door's back,
then I will do it.
I do believe you'll get it handled.
You'll get it handled. I'm not gonna worry about it.
It should be there 'cause I don't wanna have
Robert and his crew there waiting and having no tile.
I'll pick it up. I'll have my girl do it.
-Is it Pasadena or Santa Monica? -No, Deanna.
Honey, can you stop at Mission Tile on the way back
and pick up the tile that's there?
Okay, it's under my name and just have 'em put it in the back of your truck
and then we'll have to deliver it to Anthony's today.
All right, thanks.
Should we send him the invoice so he can send it to her?
I have a copy of it. I'll send it to her.
[Jeff] Okay, great.
Are you wearing makeup?
That's what I was wondering. Did you get eyeliner tattooed?
No.
[Megan] Were you wearing it this yesterday?
-Yesterday. -[Megan] Oh.
But no, no eyeliner.
-Mascara? -Mascara.
Okay, 'cause it's...
You've got, like, mascara all underneath your eye.
-[Andrew] I do? -Why were you wearing mascara yesterday?
Because my little one, we were playing.
-Oh. -Oh. Okay, yeah, that happens to me too.
Um, so...
You need to go to the bathroom and clean it up.
Okay, thank you.
But it's not that good of a job. My... You know.
[Shane] Monroe's pretty good. She wanted to make me look like an Oompa Loompa.
-[Megan] Oh. -So that's sweet.
Then I forgot and on my way home, I picked up my dry cleaning.
I wish you would have got to your date. Damn!
-[Megan] Were they looking at you weird? -[Shane] Yeah.
I didn't know why. I was like, "They must recognize me."
[all laugh]
And then you got home and you're like, "Holy shit."
Oh, shit.
-I looked literally insane. -Look at his face.
[Shane] Literally insane.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
[Ashlee] We can go see the room.
[Andrew] Go see it.
[Ashlee] I'm so excited.
It's a big difference from this morning.
Yeah, and I've been in my pajamas all day
'cause you've been hiding me from the room. [laughs]
Get out, get out, get out!
[gasps] Wow. Oh.
Oh, I love!
Oh. Wow.
I'm obsessed with it.
Oh, my God, I had chills. Like, I had chills. It is so good.
That color is incredible. I'm in love with it. Aah! I really am.
When I walked in with Andrew, I was just blown away by the wallpaper.
I didn't know that I would be that excited,
but it just took the room to a different place.
The ceilings were already great,
but the wallpaper just really brought the story of the room
and I could just kind of feel it all coming together.
This is a sexy room.
-It's totally sexy. -I am so excited.
That was definitely the moment for me when I knew where our room was going.
I'm really excited. This is by far the best room in our house.
I love it all. You guys are amazing.
Ah, I'm so excited.
All right, I'll let you, um...
I'm like, "I guess we'll get sleeping bags and hang out in here." [laughs]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] I hope we can walk on the floors.
[Shane] Me too.
Do we not have access?
I don't think so. They're not here and I can smell the floors through the door.
I think they're wet. I can smell the varnish.
It's not varnish, right? Isn't that the first coat of stain?
Maybe. I don't know what it is, but it smells real strong.
Looks a lot better than those orange floors.
[Megan] Mm-hmm.
Can we break in?
Well, that one's been super locked.
[Megan] It's super locked.
I mean, you're not gonna leave town and then leave the doors open.
Who has a key?
[Megan] I mean, you guys really didn't think this through, did you?
[Shane] The floor guys have been here every day.
-[Megan] Well, they're not here today. -[Jeff] Oh, they have a code.
Oh, great, I'll call Jax.
[phone rings]
[Jeff] Does Tyler know the code?
-[Jax] Hello? -[Shane] Hey, Jax.
Um, Jeff and I were stopping by the house.
-[Jax] Uh-huh. -[Shane] Can we get in with a code?
[Jax] Oh, yeah, I'll text it to you.
Okay, thank you.
-[Jax] Okay then, bye. -Bye.
So professional.
Yes, you have a sign on the door that says "Please don't enter until Wednesday."
But it's, like, a suggestion.
It's probably okay, right? Yeah.
[Shane] Well, I mean, it's dry.
Nobody drives the speed limit.
They suggest you drive the speed limit, but nobody does drive the speed limit.
We don't have to wait till tomorrow to walk in
'cause I wanna get Fortune and Jax back in their house as soon as possible.
[Megan] I don't have socks on.
[Jeff] Hold on, I got a towel for you.
[Megan] Thank you. I can just slide around.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah, this looks wet.
[Megan] Yeah, I'm not going over there.
We tested it and it was dry-ish.
No damage happened to the floors.
I did wanna make sure that the floors were exactly what I wanted and they were.
I think it already looks much better.
And now we're just gonna paint the interior.
We're gonna be doing a new countertop on the island
and then I'm going to help them refurnish the living room.
It's gonna be a whole new house.
Where are we gonna do color then? Bedroom?
I know you keep saying color.
[Jeff] Bedroom or you wanna just go all white?
[Megan] If you go all white, it's gonna change so much.
[Jeff] It will. It'll make the house feel bigger.
It really will.
[Jeff] Do you have a particular white you wanna do?
[Megan] Whisper. Swiss Coffee. Pearl Necklace.
Cool December's a nice one too.
I think you do those three: Cool December, Whisper, Swiss Coffee.
-[Jeff] Should we get a couple samples? -[Megan] Yeah.
[Shane] Tyler just said don't walk on the floors.
[Jeff] Will you tell him that we are not going inside?
[Shane] Okay, we won't.
[Jeff laughs] Are you feeling a little high?
I'm real stoned right now.
-From this varnish? I feel like it's... -I don't think it's good for us.
I think it's, like, killing off all my brain cells
and I don't have a lot left.
Stand by the door then.
I went in a little earlier than I should have.
Maybe the fumes can be a little strong, yeah.
Oh, so maybe it is for the fumes.
Maybe it has nothing to do with the floors being dry.
Hmm.
All right, let's get Jax on the phone.
[stammers] Okay, well, you're calling her, so she'll answer your call.
[phone rings]
[Jax] Hello?
-[Shane] Hey. -[Jax] Hey.
Hey, Jax, it's Jeff.
[Jax] Uh-oh. Hi.
It's a bait-and-switch is what it was.
Has anyone sent you a video of the floors?
-I'm about to. -[Jax] No.
It's amazing. They're beautiful.
Megan, can you please respond on the floors?
They are so gorgeous and warm and homey and yummy.
[Fortune] Yummy.
[laughs]
[Jax] When are they gonna be done?
[Jeff] Well, he was saying Tuesday.
[Fortune] All right.
And then we're gonna cover the floors and then we gotta bring the painters in.
Now it looks like they ran out of, I guess, towels.
And they're using some of your dirty panties.
[laughs]
[Fortune] Oh, come on. God.
[Jax] Just so you know, I'm changing that door lock code as soon as we get back.
[all laugh]
-[Megan] A little lightheaded. -[Jeff] Yeah, I'm feeling sick.
[pop music plays]
-[Andrew] How are you? -[Megan] It smells so good in here.
[Jeff] It does smell good.
Put your back into it, Shane.
[Jeff] Okay, I just don't want you to hit the walls,
so is that something you and Andrew can do together?
Well, two people would only make it more complicated.
Okay.
[Megan] I'm not lifting, I got psoriasis.
-[Andrew] Uh-huh. -[Megan] I can't lift.
-You can't do anything. -[Megan] Uh-uh. Shane, I got your back.
-[Shane] Okay. -[Megan] If you start to slip backwards.
-[Shane] Then what's gonna happen? -[Megan] I've been doing Pilates.
[Andrew] Do not be falling back on me. I'll get squished.
-[Andrew] Look at that big old booty. -[Megan] Who you talking about?
[Andrew] Both.
[Megan] Are we all gonna fit in here?
[Jeff] Need to go in sideways.
[Megan] Oh, so cute.
She wants, like, bold colors and bold patterns.
What if you just have, like, a nice, long coffee table?
I don't think you're gonna have room over here.
Should we do a tree?
So far, everything is moving quickly.
We have the paneling, wallpaper,
carpet, paint, furniture, new closet doors.
We're just waiting for a few more furniture pieces and the new drapes.
Yeah, I kind of like it a little bit in the corner.
So sofa, small, like, compact coffee table.
-Yeah. -[Jeff] A little side table here.
We need some art.
Do you have a canvas and some paint?
I did one for Valentine's.
[Megan] Oh, God.
I painted my body and laid on it.
Oh, for the love of God.
-[Shane] Creating it? -[Andrew] Uh-uh.
[Jeff] Roselyn's been out of town. She hasn't seen anything.
I think that I gathered enough information from her before she left.
You know, she gave me a list.
"We wanna be able to use this as a guest room.
We wanna be able to have a pullout sofa."
It's an office, a podcast studio, a guest room.
So I think we're accomplishing that.
I think you just need something pretty small.
So I could do anything from 36 to 48.
-[Megan] Okay. -But 42 is ideal.
[Megan] But I think is the sweet spot.
-[Jeff] Yeah. -Mm-hmm.
We gotta get the sofa up here.
Then we'll have the coffee table. We'll have the floor lamp.
We'll have the side table, couple little accessories.
This is going in today.
-Art. -We do the art.
-We need the flush poles. -Yeah.
-[Jeff] And is that it? -Yeah.
[Jeff] Great. That's it.
[pop music plays]
[Mira] I'm so in love with the travertine! I'm so happy with it.
[Jeff] I like it a lot.
-It's really cool, isn't it? -[Jeff] Mm-hmm.
I can't wait till there's water in the pool.
Just... I know you introduced Matt to me and I'm grateful.
And just so you know, he has been helping you all along the way.
You know, it was on a limited budget, so that was a win.
That's a big win.
Like, you need to work with that guy forever.
No, I love him. I love him.
That's why I'm like, "Let's have him do the upstairs' terraces next."
You know, we've gotta fix up the things that did not weather well
in the Malibu sun, sea air.
And that literally was what I wanted to do with this property
from the moment that I bought it.
I didn't have kids then. I wasn't married then.
I just had this idea of this, like, place where we can have parties there.
I really want it to be this hub where everybody feels like,
"Ah, let's go to the Backus' house for Sunday dinner.
Let's all hang out," you know.
Now, what about furniture out there? Have you thought about that at all?
We had to throw away most of our furniture because of all that smoke.
What visually do you see complementing it?
Well, I liked spacing it out in a way
where you have all these different, little areas, right?
So you've got the chaise lounges and you have the side table
and then you have seating around the fire pit
and then you have, like, a kind of a loungy sofa.
If it was my house, I'd probably spend another 50,000 bucks on furniture
and potted plants and landscape around the pool.
But the house is really adorable from the front.
You just gotta clean out all of that stuff, Mira.
I know, I know.
I think with everything that happened to them with the Malibu Woolsey Fire
and the smoke damage, I think it's a bit overwhelming for them.
And I think a lot of people just don't know where to begin.
And it's a good-looking house. It's a nice house.
I want them to enjoy it, appreciate it when it's finished.
[Mira] That's my problem is that I'm very nostalgic for the past.
Yeah.
And it's probably because my parents got divorced while I was out of town.
They got separated Christmas night
and then they finalized the divorce while I was living in China
and sold the house that we grew up in
and boxed up all my stuff and I didn't see a lot of it ever again,
so I have this thing about this emotion of, like,
the good times with the babies when they were little.
Like... Like, I wanna make a quilt with their favorite baby clothes.
And, like, you know, I'm very emotionally attached to, like, talismans to the past.
And it's just, like, sometimes I don't have the the courage
to face, like, the sadness of time passing
and certain people being dead.
And, you know, like, it just... It's...
-Yeah. -It's a weakness of mine.
So I know it's not entirely rational, you know.
I understand and I'm sorry that...
I mean, I would imagine when you come home and all of your things are gone,
-it's like all your memories are gone. -Mm-hmm.
You were just stripped of it.
If you start off with everything to the right of the storage container,
all of that, that alone is gonna make a big difference.
I promise by the time we reset, all the stuff in the front will be gone.
It'd be nice to, you know, to drive up and then just see the house.
But, okay, you'll get there.
Yeah.
You know.
I do.
But I finally feel like I have the energy that I can tackle it.
[pop music plays]
Exciting! Hi. How are you?
Hi. Good. It's all happening right now.
[Jeff] I was surprised that we bought as many pieces as we did from Church.
It's worked out great.
And I'm also glad that we did custom-make the bed.
Oh, my God! The bed!
It's a little more elevated, but it still feels like the rest of the house.
Yeah. Oh, my God, that is so pretty.
-Look at that texture. -Wow.
Guys, I'm obsessed with this room.
It's so cool!
[Megan] You get to sleep in here tonight. Yeah, yeah.
I'm so excited.
Maybe only spent a thousand or two more to make a custom bed
versus a nice bed I would have purchased.
It fit.
[all cheer]
-Oh, you did it, Megan! -Thank God!
And they did get exactly what they wanted.
[Evan] Oh, this is exciting.
[Megan gasps] Those are perfect.
[Evan] Perfect height.
[Megan] It was a really good find.
We were lucky we found the night stand, coffee table,
the two kind of casual chairs.
So we need to place it in the space to see how they look.
[Andrew] What if we did chair, chair and this over here?
Like, just angle it a little bit, like, right here.
I love it at an angle. I do.
-I like this angle. -[Evan] I do too.
Yeah.
[Andrew] I think we need to get the table so we can see the scale.
Did you try it with the chair there and then we can do an ottoman there?
That way it kind of opens the space up.
[Evan] That's great.
That feels more open to me.
And then maybe that ottoman, you know, lives here.
An ottoman would be nice too 'cause when you walk in the room,
you don't feel like you're getting stopped.
-Right. -Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty.
[Evan] I mean, I'm obsessed with these pieces.
I love that on an angle.
-I love it too. I love this whole thing. -Yeah, I do too.
-[Megan] This is so cozy. -[Jeff] It's looking good.
[Evan] I just wonder if that's the color.
[Megan] Falling flat.
With the curtain and the bed, right?
[Andrew] With these drapes and all, it just goes blah.
I actually really like them together,
but it just needs to come alive with the rug.
[Andrew] That's what we need is, like, that rusty.
[Megan] Yeah, it's gonna be pretty.
It's so perfect. Yay.
All right, so now we'll start with one big rug.
[Megan] Yeah.
And then an ottoman, a couple accessories.
But I do need you to do the art.
Mm-hmm, done deal. We'll figure it out.
Okay. All right, guys. We'll see you guys later. Thank you.
-[Megan] Bye, guys. -Keep you posted on what's next.
[pop music plays]
[Shane] I just need, like, two bites.
[Jeff] Okay.
[Shane] Just, like, two bites.
[Fortune] Hello. Oh, were we supposed to knock?
No, come on in.
-[Fortune] Hi. -[Jax] Hi.
[Jeff] Fortune and Jax, I wanted them to come by the house
to figure out their furniture plans for their living room.
You're drinking two green juices?
-Yeah. -[Fortune] How healthy of you.
Not every day.
There were two chairs and a sofa
that Jax and Fortune wanted to purchase,
but they wanted to see them in person and sit in them.
This is, like, immaculate.
'Cause he doesn't cook on it.
Oh, really? It's just...
-It's for show. -For show.
[Jeff] I do that a lot.
I use my house as, like, a showroom
where I go through and be like, "I like this hardware for your house,"
or "I like these countertops," or "I like this shower fixture."
I like a big island like this.
So I wanted to show her some of the things in my house
to see if they wanted to purchase them.
Because when they can see it and they can touch it,
it helps to sell it and have them make a decision.
That's the sofa. You wanna show Jax?
-[Fortune] Oh. -[Jeff] It's humongous.
[Fortune] It is long. It looks awesome.
This is, like, the exact kind of sofa I love.
-And the color, I think, is good. -The color's really good.
-[Tyler] It's very comfortable. -[Fortune] Yeah.
[Tyler] But I think it's... I'm worried it's a little long.
Hmm. And we did them...
Oh, that is comfortable. I like this.
I mean, we want it, but do we need to knock down a wall?
[all laugh]
Like, how do you not get this couch?
The only thing I've cared about is comfort.
As you can see, I'm a casual gal.
Biggie's a big dog, so he has to have a lot of space as well.
He sprawls out.
The thing that we had before ended, like, here or something?
[Tyler] Yeah.
[Fortune] I think we can make it work.
We'll bring it. If it fits, great.
What do you think of those chairs?
-[Tyler] I think she likes the chairs. -Yeah.
[Jeff] Watch what happens when you get up.
When I get up, it rocks forward.
[Jax] Oh.
I don't know. I don't hate 'em. Can we just take yours?
-[Jax] Yeah. -[laughs]
So do we wanna sit here then and go over everything?
[Fortune] You were right, Jeff.
[Jeff] Oh, thank you so much.
You and Tyler were right about doing the floors.
The floors look awesome in our house.
-[Jeff] You love 'em? -[Fortune] I love 'em.
[Jax] Yeah.
[Shane] This is the chair, the Blaine.
[Fortune] Oh, I do like a swivel.
Fun. You wanna try it?
[Jax] You sit in chairs more than I do, so...
[Jeff] That swivel is probably a bit more compact,
but it is nice to have a swivel.
-[Fortune] Yeah, so works for me. -[Shane] Great.
-[Jeff] Do you like those, Tyler? -[Tyler] I love them.
[Jeff] I like it too.
I love whole dining room set-up. I love.
And I like how the chairs match the table.
[Jeff] I like that a lot.
-[Fortune] Wait, that's the smaller one? -[Shane] That's the smaller one.
[Jax] Yeah, we know what you're leaning towards.
I just wanna make sure it's comfortable.
I have to do... I have to do the fat-girl-jump-on-the-couch test.
Well, are you lying on this thing and, like, sleeping and all of that?
-Yes, I... -Oh, shit.
Like, when I come off the road, I'm like...
You can't just go to bed? Like...
No. I watch TV in the den.
Okay, I see what you mean.
I think let's bring them both so she can sit on it at least.
[Jeff] We'll bring them both.
I just don't wanna be in a situation where you feel like, "Oh."
[Jax] "Oh, it can't even fit us."
-"This room is so small." -[Fortune] Right.
Remember, we're already dealing with a small house here, right,
so we want the rooms to feel big and open.
She wants a big, comfortable sectional,
but I think the smaller version could look better.
I mean, I guess we'll just see it, these two in person, right?
[Jeff] Yeah. I mean, you've seen it. It's big.
I mean, I love it, though.
I know. It's great, it's just...
[Jax] Buy a bigger house.
It doesn't fit.
Well, we'll see.
-Okay. -Let's not give up, guys.
[pop music plays]
Hey. We have enough hardscape, enough concrete for you?
Asshole.
[all laugh]
[Andrew] What now?
Andrew's dressed kind of normal today.
Except you see my underwear, they're not normal.
[laughs]
-How you doing? -How you doing, baby?
-How are you? Good to see you. -What's going on? Good to see you, man.
-How are you, baby? -Great.
First, even though it's a lot of concrete,
there's a lot of progress here.
-Yeah. -[Jeff] Okay, good.
You want a pat on the back?
No.
-[Shane] Andrew does. -I do.
Thank you.
And then if... Okay, so let me ask you this.
Originally, the tile was gonna stop here, right?
[Anthony] Mm-hmm.
[Jeff] We were gonna have a smooth-coat stucco back.
The problem is you can't really see the tile unless you're walking up these steps.
I think it's such a nice tile and I think to have a bigger impact,
I think we need to do that whole back wall.
Another 80 square feet of tile.
[Anthony] I had to leave town to make some money to pay Jeff
and I am happy with the progress.
The thing with Jeff is every time he comes to visit,
it ends up costing me another five figures.
So I'm gonna just cut down his visits 'cause, uh, I'm running out of money.
I just think it's gonna be a much bigger impact when you drive up
to be able to see the tile on the backsplash of both fountains.
What would that be, Andrew, price-wise?
About 700.
I think we all voted. It was, like, four...
It'd be four to one.
My vote is the only one that really matters.
Okay, stand back. Will you put up...
That's a lot.
Andrew. Andrew, can you put some of those tiles up so he can picture it?
-[Andrew] This is the wrong tile. -[Frank] It's the wrong tile?
[Andrew] It's supposed to be the dark background.
That's what I thought.
Shit.
I think it's gonna help soften.
Why is this just now coming to you about the tile on the backsplash?
[Jeff] Literally, they just put it in yesterday and I just saw it.
I feel like because the stucco is going to be white,
you're gonna see stains, water stains, constantly.
That may bother you. It'd bother me.
I do think we need to keep going up with the tile.
Oh, so we're just gonna have water stains on the tile?
It won't. It won't stain.
No, this is pool tile. Won't stain.
If you hate it, we'll take it off. How about that?
I mean, what's the worst? You lose 700 bucks.
But I think you're gonna love it.
Why don't you wanna admit that we're right?
Because then I'd be admitting that you're right.
[laughs]
[Anthony] Let's go with the tile.
[Jeff] Okay, he said yes.
And if I don't like it...
Thank you. He loved the presentation.
We'll destroy it if it doesn't look right once it's up there.
He kept looking at that fountain and it was, like, crickets.
And he just wouldn't say anything. I knew something was wrong.
Do you have questions for me? 'Cause you're very quiet right now.
No, I'm... I'm... I'm envisioning the tile on the back.
[Jeff] What are your concerns?
I don't have any.
-[Jeff] Okay, good. -Yeah.
So you trust that we're doing...
We're doing the right thing?
-Yeah. -Great. Okay, I'll see you later.
-All right, guys. Thank you. -[all] Bye.
So real fast, come here.
You gotta tell me 'cause we're running late.
That tile, it's the light one, Jeff.
-It's the wrong one? -He wanted the dark background one.
We got the wrong one?
I double-checked and we were ordering the darker one.
They sent the wrong one.
Maybe that's why he was, like, staring at it, like...
-Well, it's in. -It's in.
Well, who accepted delivery?
-Your assistant? -Yeah.
I would just keep it quiet.
-It looks good. -It looks good.
He likes it. We narrowed it down to the two that we liked.
-Yeah. -I guess he didn't notice.
[Andrew] All right.
[pop music plays]
[Tyler] These two chairs are just gonna go in this room.
[man] Okay.
Uh, one will go right kind of where I'm standing
and then one will go over here.
These chairs are beautiful.
[Jax] Oh, yeah.
[Fortune] And we're looking at our new furniture,
seeing what fits in the space and what looks good.
We're gonna be normal people soon. [laughs]
It's definitely a different vibe.
[Tyler] Okay, yeah, I think you're right.
I think you're getting your big couch.
[Fortune] Yeah. This couch is just a lot stiffer.
We're all about comfort in this family.
Oh, this is the big one.
Wow, that's like a day bed.
[Jax] Comfort was more important than having, like,
the couch that looked the best in that space.
Like, as long as this one fit, I knew we were going to go with it.
Oh, this is so much better than the other couch.
I don't know what he's gonna say, but it's way more comfortable.
[all laugh]
[Fortune] I like a day bed.
-Hi. Is that the sofa? -[Fortune] Hi.
[Fortune] Yes, it's the big one.
-It fit. -[Fortune] Yeah.
Wow, I'm shocked.
And it's so comfortable.
Yeah. Do you love it? You tried it?
Oh, my God, I'm obsessed with it.
I know it's big, but I love it.
It looks great. I actually like the fabric a lot. This looks great too.
I think it's beautiful.
-He say he likes it. -He says he likes it a lot.
Look, your sofa, is it a little bigger than what I would buy? Yeah.
Right.
But I get it. Like, you wanna relax, watch TV.
Yeah.
[Jeff] It's their money. They can spend it the way they want.
I respect that, but I think it would've looked better with the other sofa.
I think you should sit in this chair.
-They're really nice. -Sit in it.
-Oh, wow. -[Jeff] Right?
[Shane] Oh, wow.
-Okay, you're being sarcastic. -[Jax] No, no, no.
It's way better than what we had.
I mean, a similar shape to the other chairs.
-The other ones were metal. -But, like, padding.
It's great.
I helped them with finishing the floors and painting, some furniture.
I was gently guiding.
I think the house, the interior, looks far better now
than it did when I got there.
Through this whole process, I think they got what they wanted.
Good job, Tyler. Thank you.
Nice job, Tyler.
[pop music plays]
I definitely like the interior now a lot better.
-[Jax] Closet doors. -[Fortune] Those look great.
[Jax] Having the round table versus the long rectangular table
made it feel bigger.
[Fortune] We've actually been sitting at the dining room table a lot more.
The floors are gorgeous.
[Jax] Yeah, I think the floors are my favorite part, for sure.
[Fortune] Mm-hmm, the floors are awesome.
We've got marble in the kitchen. It just makes it look more high-end.
So, yeah, I don't have my Southern touches on the house.
Jeff stripped me of all of that.
[laughs]
I do miss my "live, laugh, love" sign, y'all.
That was the one thing that we put on the curb that no one picked up.
Everything else went.
But eventually it found a home.
There's someone in this neighborhood who saw that "live, love, laugh" sign
and thought, "Finally."
Did you just use my credit card? Or y'all need my credit card?
No, I used mine.
[Fortune] So I just need to pay you back.
Yeah, eventually.
Jeff, you know, we give him a hard time and he gives us a hard time,
but he's great.
[Jeff] There's a service charge for every purchase we make on my card.
And then we have, uh, interest.
[Fortune] Oh, my God.
[both laugh]
No, we're 100% happy with it and it was worth it, right?
It was.
But I'm gonna start locking all the gates now,
just in case Jeff just decides to pop in.
Can I get a running total where I'm at?
I don't wanna give you that number.
[laughs]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] How are you?
[Anthony] My apologies for being late.
What do you think about this? Looking good, right?
[Anthony] Oh, yeah. Yeah, that tile's much better than that other one.
The last time I was here, Jeff was showing me the tiles
on our water feature in the front yard.
Something just didn't seem right.
And then when I left my property and went back home, it hit me.
They installed the wrong tile.
They took the other tile back for free. It was their mistake.
Uh-huh.
We had to buy additional tile, so they exchanged it for free.
Oh, okay.
[Jeff] I've experienced mad Anthony.
When he's angry, he is very quiet.
Do you have questions for me? 'Cause you're very quiet right now.
After the meeting, he called me.
He's like, "That's not the mother... tile."
And I'm like, "Oh, shit."
I know and I know this looks bad and I kept saying,
"Okay, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to tear it out?
Do you want me to take it out?"
And he wouldn't talk. "I'm just gonna take it out."
So I had to rip it out and I have to replace it with the right tile,
but it looks like we tried to get away with it
because we did try to get away with it.
We did try to get away with it.
We bought additional tile, which you paid for.
We already went over that. It's like it never happened.
[Anthony] Do I think they tried to pull a fast one on me?
Nah, I'm not gonna say that, but they knew it was the wrong tile
and they were just gonna wait for me to say, "I love it, let's go with it."
And they were like, "Whoo, averted that one!"
No, you didn't, mother... I caught it.
I caught it, okay?
[Jeff] Okay, so what we wanna do next is build this wall.
I'd probably bring it in a little bit more and then it'll die at this fence.
-Okay. -[Frank] The landscape and the grass.
[Jeff] Yeah, and then we're done.
There'll be plantings, trees, lighting.
Do you like what's happening here?
-I do. -[Jeff] Okay, good.
So we just wanna continue it.
-[Anthony] Yeah, we're gonna continue. -And make it consistent.
There have been setbacks, but it's gonna be fine in the end.
I do believe he trusts me.
I do think he knows that I have his back
and I do think he knows that I'm gonna honor my commitments.
Hold on. No, no, no, no, no. You had something.
A bunch of shit on your, uh, velvet. What is that, velvet?
Yeah, that looked good. Ooh!
[pop music plays]
I mean, it would be nice if you had two separate seating areas,
plus pots and a little water feature.
I mean, it could be really nice.
Where can we get this stuff?
[Jeff] It'll be 30 grand. It'll be more than that.
We could reuse these too, but it would be nice to add some.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I wonder if we could just borrow some of that furniture up here.
And we could, I guess, some cool...
-[Jeff] Pillows. -Pillows.
I think maybe one of those chaises and tables should come up here.
And then put... You know what I mean? 'Cause it's blocking the whole flow.
Maybe we just borrow some of this furniture,
just stage it and then get new landscaping,
get some pillows, get a couple pots with color.
[Andrew] I love that.
[pop music plays]
[Ashlee] Oh, it's so good.
[Evan] Look at this place. I'm like, "It's amazing."
[Ashlee] So good.
We're so excited. We love our room.
[Evan] Our chalet bedroom.
[Ashlee] For us, it was a really cool process.
I feel like we are able to really have our room feel like us.
I feel like it's got an eccentric feel, a romantic feel, lots of texture.
I feel like Evan and I have, like, a distinctive style,
so it was nice for them to, like, sit down and let us, like,
just pick out things that we liked and then to see
just the things that we liked all come together.
It's my favorite wallpaper.
-[Jeff] Really? -[Ashlee] Yeah.
And what's funny is I know the concern was, like, it was gonna feel dark.
-It does not feel dark in here at all. -[Shane] Mm-mm.
[Ashlee] It's so pretty. It's so cozy.
It's warm and also I don't think I've ever seen a room like this.
This is our dream bedroom. It's amazing. I'm, like, obsessed.
You know, you never know, especially with, like, wallpaper and changing things
that the room might end up being really dark,
which she was concerned about.
I was, like, always nervous in the beginning.
I'm like, "Are we choosing too many prints?"
And I really feel like everything that we chose really just worked.
I mean, I feel like it's, like, a work of art. I'm obsessed.
[Ashlee] The bed, the bed is so beautiful. I love it.
[Evan] Yeah, that was all custom-made.
Yeah. Is the bed comfortable?
-[Evan] So comfortable. -Yes.
-And obviously these lights at night... -[Ashlee] And at night, the light.
You have to come over at night.
We need to, like, have a glass of wine in the room. [laughs]
Especially with the doors open.
And I will say this adds a lot.
Out here? Yeah.
This is, like, this really cool, romantic...
It's a whole new space that was not even there.
Well, we never used to open these doors, really.
Now we keep the doors open all day.
[Ashlee] Oh, I love it out here.
[Jeff] Did you see the new succulents I brought?
[Ashlee] Yay, it's so good.
I love the balcony.
[Evan] It's so peaceful. It's gorgeous.
I love it. The green pots are so beautiful.
I love the balcony.
I feel like, for me, it's a place for everyone to just kind of hang out,
listen to music, the sun's going down.
Yeah.
And then once they're done, I can go sit up there. [laughs]
[Evan] I thought I saw something coming out of there.
Yeah, there's smoke coming out of there.
What are you talking about? It says it's smoke-free.
[Shane] Oh, yeah. Thermacell.
It uses heat to create a mosquito-free zone.
-[Ashlee] All right. -[Shane] Heater activates repellent.
So when you're sitting here and enjoying your glass of wine...
I'm like, "We'll try anything." [laughs] "Get rid of the mosquitoes."
[Shane] I know.
[Jeff] Make sure to charge it.
When you water your plants, plug it in.
Yeah. Please don't kill our plants, Ashlee.
[Ashlee] I won't. I'm gonna take care of them.
[Jeff] Okay. So you spend a lot of time up here now?
-Yeah. -Did you spend no time up here before?
No.
[Evan] Never. Never did she hang up here.
Now I'm, like, looking up, her and her friends are just...
[Jeff] It's nice.
-Sitting in this little area. -[Ashlee] Uh-huh.
[Evan] With the fire on.
But now I have my own place to be, so I'm happy about it.
That little seating area, I love. I love the two chairs.
[Evan] They're all unique pieces.
They're all, like, pieces of art, really. That's why we love 'em so much.
It's special and I think it really makes the room ours, you know,
in that sense where it's, like, it's not something that is just...
-Go to the store. -Yeah, and get.
-Yeah. -Or pick out of a picture.
I can't really see the difference between what it looked like before and now,
seeing how...
[Jeff] I forgot what it looked like. It's been so long.
[Ashlee] It was, like, a big, empty room.
-[Shane] It was just white, yeah. -[Ashlee] Yeah.
I remember it was just, like, two pieces of furniture
and, like, white walls and a white ceiling.
Yeah, I mean, when I was pregnant
'cause there was nothing here but all this space,
so I would do, like, my workout right here.
-[Jeff] Mm-hmm. -[laughs]
To be honest, I don't...
I think this is very consistent
with what you have going on in the rest of the house.
Yeah.
[Jeff] I don't think this is some huge departure.
-I think it's... -[Evan] No.
This is you guys.
-[Evan] Yeah, absolutely. -[Ashlee] Right.
It is you guys. I mean, it's like...
It takes your other rooms to kind of the next level,
but it's still, like, you know,
I don't feel like when I'm walking in here,
-I'm in a different house. -[Evan] No, no.
It's our room.
This was a great process for us. We really loved everyone:
Jeff and Andrew and Megan and Shane.
They were just all... Tyler.
Everyone was so great and really brought something different
to the project and to the room.
And I think for everyone to, like, step outside of their box,
I think that that was really nice for everyone to meet us where we were at.
I don't feel like we made any sort of sacrifices, compromises.
[Evan] I don't at all.
-[Jeff] But everything else... -Yeah, you guys went all-out.
[Ashlee] Yeah, I mean, everything is incredible.
They have very sophisticated taste and they're very, very specific,
but we have consistently come up with things that they love.
So Ashley and Evan are really happy.
Well, I'm glad you guys are happy.
-We are so happy. -[Evan] I'm obsessed.
You've been really fun to work with.
Yeah, we love you guys. You guys are never leaving us.
I don't think we had any problems.
We had so much fun with you guys, though.
It's gonna be weird now not having you guys pop by.
[Ashlee laughs]
[Jeff] They're creative people.
And I did like some of the things Evan was putting together.
But then, ultimately, Ashley put together some nice things as well.
I don't always deal with that, so it's kind of fun.
You can't not like them. I would work with them again, for sure.
-Thank you so much. -All right, you're welcome.
-Thank you so much for everything. -Bye. You're welcome.
Hi.
Sorry you couldn't be here to see it in person.
Sorry, guys.
We wanna show you.
I can't wait.
It's gorgeous.
This, to me, reminded me of dog vomit.
Oh, great, you hate it as much as I do.
-Okay. -Okay, good.
-[Jeff] The granite, it look dated to me. -[Mira] Right.
I mean, this stuff, we...
The first thing we do is tear them out of houses.
[Mira] If there is a place that I can go look.
I'll get you the address.
But can you take photos?
-[Mira] Yes. -And then we can discuss it.
-[Mira] Of course. -Okay.
We don't wanna do anything that you're not happy with.
Wait, why are you moving into a bigger house?
I always wanted to have more than one kid.
I'm almost 52. If I'm gonna do this, I need to kind of do it soon.
