[Harley] Yeah, koi.

[Jon] Yeah, koi.

I kind of feel bad

that they're in this
little tiny pond for now,

but the good thing is,
goldfish only have,

like, an eight-second memory.

So they'll do two laps,

and then they'll forget
everything

and then do two more laps.

So they're fine.

There's nothing like
an old New England farmhouse.

Being on a farm,
it's just a way of life.

These are American treasures.

But old farmhouses
are disappearing

off the landscape so fast.

I'm Jon Knight.

Some people may know me
from this part of my life,

but there's a whole other
side of my life

that people may not know about.

- [woman 1] Are you kidding me?
- [Jon laughing]

[woman 1] Holy!
Look at this.

[Jon] I help clients renovate
old homes in New England.

[Jon] There's a freaking well
in the basement.

Kristina and I
bring out the best

of the old and the new
for all of our clients.

Look at that.

This whole room
wants to be black.

[chuckles]

- What?
- Wow!

- [man 1] Oh, my God.
- [woman 2] Beautiful!

[woman 3] Oh, my God!
It's huge!

I'm so happy.

[all] ...seven, eight, nine!

We have a big show coming up.

It's at Fenway Park in Boston.

So we all flew out here
to LA, to the studio,

so we could create
something a little fresh
for this new show.

[choreographer]
The last free part,

there is a hands in the air,
hands in the air.

Extra credit
if you put your hands up.

I got the best of both worlds.

I mean, we come out here
to LA, rehearse for a week,

do some shows, go on tour
for a couple of months,

and then the rest of the year,
I get to go home

and do my construction stuff.

[choreographer] You guys, go
from the top again.
That was good.

[Jon] Rehearsal week
is really fun.

We've been doing this
off and on for 37 years

and it never gets old.

It's so nice to shake off
the construction dust

and perform
with these guys again.

Today is going to be
a really interesting day.

Not only am I rehearsing
for the show,

but I'm also meeting
my new clients,
Megan and Jeff.

They live in LA
and they just bought
a farmhouse

in New Hampshire.

[choreographer] Three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Behind this door,
we're gonna be rehearsing

and then step out this door
and slip into, you know,

designer, contractor mode.

[Megan] Hi!

- How are you?
- [Megan] How are you?

- [Jon] How you doing?
- [Jeff] Nice to meet you.

- [Jon] I know.
- You've been in our house.

We haven't even been
in our house.

- I... it's so crazy.
- [Jeff] It's crazy.

This is Little Leo.

Megan and I currently live
in Santa Monica, California.

We have this beautiful
new baby, Leo,

that wants to be closer
to grandma and grandpa.

We bought a house sight unseen
without ever walking a foot
inside the front door.

We looked at pictures online,
we did FaceTime,

we did videos,

but we've never actually
stepped foot in our house.

We've felt this overwhelming
feeling of, like,
missing out on things.

All our family's there.

We miss out
on the birthday parties.

We miss out
on all the big celebrations.

And we want to slow down.
We want to have animals.

We don't know
what we're getting
ourselves into.

A 1798 house.

There was 20 other bids

and we couldn't put
any contingencies
on the offer, sight unseen.

It's funny that
I've seen yours house

- before you guys
have seen your house.
- I know. I know.

- Are we crazy?
- Yeah.

- [Jeff] We are crazy.
- That's a little crazy.

[Jeff] I know.
What are we in for?

It's... I love it.

Harley and I had
the opportunity to walk
through the property

before the homeowners
even saw it.

We were blown away.

This place is just magnificent.

[Jon] So what do you think?
Still potential here or...

A lot of potential.

[Jon] This is like
a real bad problem.

Tiny, steep steps.

Treacherous.

[Donnie speaking]

You would do a house for him.

[Donnie speaking]

- All right,
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Bye, guys.

- [Megan] Bye.
- [Donnie] Bye, Leo.

Donnie, I would love to do
a house for you someday.

The only catch is you have
to buy a farmhouse.

We are flying back
to see the house

for the very first time
in two weeks.

Could you come and be with us
when we see it
for the first time?

- Yeah, I would love that.
- [Jeff] Awesome.

- [Jon] Oh, I can't wait
till you see it.
- It's gonna be awesome.

We're walking into this...

with awesome expectations.

- Yes.
- But we're also very nervous.

- [Megan gasps]
- New Hampshire, here we come.

[Jon] I can't wait to get
started on your house.

♪ Watch out, get ready,
here we go now ♪

♪ Watch out, get ready,
here we go now ♪

They're on their way.

- [Megan] It's Jon.
- [Jeff] It's Jon.

[Megan laughing]

[Jon] Welcome home.

Oh, my God.

[Jon] I was so nervous
for you guys.

[laughter]

[Jon] Aw.

[Megan] Aw...

[Jon] Ooh, you're gonna get me
crying.

[Jeff whispering] We did it.

We did it.

Watching Jeff tear up
and just embrace his wife

is a moment I am never going
to forget.

I cannot imagine
picking up your life,

moving thousands of miles
away to a house

that they didn't even see
before they bought it.

I love the exterior
of the house.

I don't know how you guys feel.

If there's things
you want to change.

It looks exactly the way
I want it to.

[Jeff] I love the metal roof.

[Jon] This is in such great
shape with that new roof,

the chimney,
all the brand-new windows.

[Jeff] Yeah. Can we go see it?

- [Jon] You guys ready?
- We're ready.

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

Let's do this.

[door creaks]

Gonna need to get that fixed.

[Megan] Whoa! Oh, my gosh.
It's so small.

It feels much smaller.

A little smaller
than the pictures.

Ah!

[laughter]

[Jon] That was the one thing
I was afraid

that when you guys came
into the house,

it's a lot smaller than
you probably thought.

- [Jeff] Yep.
- But I mean, it's something
you can work with.

And old houses,
they have their quirks.

You just make it work.

You just have to start
to walk in your house
like this.

[Jeff] Leo better
not be too tall.

Oh.

Ooh!

Ceilings in old houses
are usually, like, seven feet.

And Jeff, he's really tall
and these ceilings
are really short.

These beams are really nice.

[Jon] It's just so cool.

Like, when I come
into a old house

and you look at a beam like this

and you just see
all the ax marks

that somebody sat there

and just took an ax
and made a round tree

into this square beam.

You notice the floors.

- [Jeff] Well...
- [Megan] I do.

[Jon] You cannot find floors
with this width

and just that age.

I do wish they were less yellow.

[Jon] We can sand this
floor up a little.

Maybe give it a color,
like just a richer stain.

- [Megan] Mmm-hmm.
- [Jon] The fireplace,
definitely original fireplace.

[Jeff] Wow, that looks great.

Just having the chimney
centered in the room,

it kind of gives division
between the room.

So you know, like,
this is one room,
that's another room.

So many people want
open-concept living now.

And if you want that,
go get a new house.

You cannot do that
to a 1790s house.

I mean, that is the charm,
is having
all these small rooms.

[Jon] So now that Leo's here,

I want to show you guys
your kitchen.

[Jeff] Leo, you ready?

I can already see
that Megan and Jeff

are utilizing being close
to the family,

and we got the grandparents

already bringing baby Leo over.

- Ooh...
- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

This is awesome.

This is the headspace.

[Jon] Yeah.

That's the old part.
This obviously
was an addition.

The ceiling height is awesome.

I love how they incorporated
the old beams

into the new structure, though.

[Jeff] Do you think
all these beams are original?

[Jon] I don't know.

I just love
the character of them.

They're so cool.

So what are you guys
thinking for this space?

[Megan] I'd love an island.

I'm not a peninsula fan.

[Jeff] We've got to take out
the chimney.

I thought it just
chops up the space.

It'd be great to have,
like, an open kitchen.

Do you think it's structural?

- [Jon] No, definitely
not structural.
- [Jeff] No, okay.

[Jon] I don't know why
they decided to put it smack

in the middle of this room.

[Jeff] So far you don't seem
scared about the project.

So it's making us feel
more comfortable.

This is like...

[Megan]
So we're not that crazy.

[Jeff] We're not that crazy.
Tell us we're not crazy.

No, you guys are not crazy.

I love this house.
It has so much potential.

And the upstairs,
you're gonna love
just as much.

- [Jeff] Let's go.
- So let's go and take a look.

[Jon]
These are the steepest stairs

I've seen in an old house.

[Jeff] Be very careful.

[Jon] I know.
That's something
we have to address.

[Megan] This feels
like a ladder.

These stairs,
built in the 1790s,

a whole different way
of life back then.

They're not suitable
for today's living.

And, in some instances,
they may not even pass code.

[Jon] So this is
your main bedroom.

[Jeff] Size is good.

[Jon] Solid. Solid.

These beams, though,
they're so awesome.

[Jon] This house is all post
and beam construction.

There's no nails holding
any of these beams together.

They just drill a hole,
they put a peg in it...

- [Jeff] Wow!
- and it just locks it
in place.

[Jeff] It's beautiful.

[Jon] Here is the easy access
to the bathroom,

which is not so easy.

Down the hall
and around the corner.

Oh, man.

[Megan] It's so small.

[Jon] Old houses,
there probably
was no bathroom

even in this house
when it was built.

[Jeff] This is tiny.

[Megan] We definitely need
more than one sink

and probably more counter space.

[Jeff] Can we get a shower
at least, bare minimum,

that I can wash my hair
without having to duck?

We have about, I don't know,
five inches, six inches.

- [Jon] Anything's possible.
- [Jeff] Yeah.

Well, we have the experts
that can figure it out for us.

- Yes.
- We're looking forward
to reveal day.

[Jeff laughs]

So that was an exciting day.

First time you guys
saw your house.

How are you feeling
after that whole experience?

I feel validated,
my risk-taking abilities.

I'm happy we got this house.

So am I and we're excited
to see how you guys
can fix it all up

and bring it back to life.

[Jon] There is a lot to do.

Outside is in such great shape
and you love the look of it,

so we don't need to do
much out here.

We'll do some light landscaping

to really enhance the exterior.

On the inside, we're gonna
sand and stain
the existing floors

to give them a richer color
while keeping
that historic white pine.

We need to reconfigure
these stairs.

That way, we can also give you
a hallway into the kitchen,

but let's also keep this
original fireplace intact.

Let's remove this brick chimney

that's right in the middle
of the kitchen

and add a large island
in its place.

Since your washer and dryer
are currently in the kitchen,

we need to build
a small pantry room

where we can tuck them away

and this will also provide you
extra storage.

Upstairs, we'll reconfigure
the bathroom.

We can move the door,

which will give you easier
access from your bedroom

and use that extra space
for a shower,

tub and double sinks.

And in the main bedroom,

we'll add a window
to take advantage
of these amazing farm views.

We'll be able to do this
for a budget of 225,000.

[Jeff] I can't wait.
That's going to be awesome.

Let's get started.

[line ringing]

[Jon] How are you guys?
So we're here at the house.

Everything looks good.

And we are ready
to start demo today.

Oh! We're excited.

[Jon] Cool.

Well, I just want to show you
one thing before we start.

I know you guys hate
this staircase,

so I'm gonna let you guys
be a part of this moment.

All right.
Here we go, guys.

One, two, three.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kristina] It's really helpful
to see this framed right now.

The kitchen was in this
little nook, right?

It was kind of down here
and it kind of oozed
this way...

- [Jon] Mmm-hmm.
- [Kristina] ...with that
chimney in the way.

So now this over here
is going to be pantry/laundry.

So I liked that idea of, like,

we're carving this part
making the kitchen happen
from here over.

- And it's that...
- And then this is the fridge.

Is it a mini-fridge
or is it a full-size fridge?

Seriously!

I might be considered
kind of mini, kind of petite,

but it doesn't mean
that my design work
is for small things.

I mean, small is cute,
little mini-fridge,

a little mini-stove,
maybe some little
mini pots and pans.

Giant island will be here.

On this end, we're going
to have a trash pullout,
double barrel,

big sink, dishwasher,

and then cabinet.

So that island
has the ability
to fit all these things

and then a bunch of people
on the other side.

Like, how much space is this
island going to take up?

Ten feet.

[Jon] I mean,
that's a huge island.

Mmm-hmm.

And if there's dining over here,

are we going to be able to fit
a table and chairs

and people can circulate
around the table,

circulate out to the deck?

I think six feet is enough.

I really don't want to cut
into the family dining space.

Point taken, but I think
for the height and the length
of the room,

we can handle a ten-foot island

and it will give them
everything that they need.

Hold on. Scott dear!

Sweetie. Honey.

[Scott] Why is she
calling me, dear?

- [Jon] Oh, boy.
- [Kristina] Darling.

- We're just gonna go
into the kitchen.
- [Scott] All right.

[Kristina]
So we're at an island,
and we have a trash pullout.

- [Scott] All right.
- We have a big sink.

- We have a dishwasher.
- All right.

We have another cabinet,
because over here we...

That sounds like
eight feet, at least.

Maybe nine.

- Ten feet!
- Ten feet?

[Jon] Don't you think
that's way too big?

[Scott] Ten feet here,
that's too big.

No, it's not.

What happens
is if you have a chunky leg

and a chunky leg
and four comfortable stools

and you have an adequate
eight inches between stools,

with ten feet gives you
comfortable seating

for four and then...

- You mean four?
- Wait, hold on.

This space honestly would look
really weird with an island

that only has
three comfortable stools.

I mean, I hear you.

I think she's swaying me.

Ten feet it is.

I feel like I need
the Rocky music to be like...

yeah!

[Jon humming Theme From Rocky]

[Kristina laughing]

- [Kristina] Oh.
- [imitating light saber sound]

Oh!

[Kristina laughs]

You just cut my legs off?

And your island.

- [laughter]
- [Kristina] Oh!

♪ He don't see the dark ♪

♪ No, he don't feel the pain ♪

[Kristina] I don't know
what that...

[Megan] Hey!

- [Jon] Hey, you guys.
- [Kristina] Welcome!

So today we're in Rowley,
Mass, at the Grove,

which is a restaurant
at the Briar Barn Inn.

[Kristina] You're probably
like, "Why are we going
to a wedding venue?"

-We're getting married!
Surprise!
-[laughter]

I mean, he's my work
husband anyways.

I really like their style

and I think I know
where they're heading.

So to bring them here
and to see where...

what they like
and what they dislike
is going to be really fun.

- [Jeff] This is beautiful.
- [Kristina] Thank you.

I see some resemblance here.

[Kristina]
So the ceilings here

are natural, like,
they chose to leave it natural

as opposed to painted.

And your kitchen
has that long gable

with all of that
kind of orangey pine.

So I'm really interested
to know, in a setting
like this,

if you like the natural
or if you kind of want
that gone.

Well, it looks really nice here,

but I think I kept envisioning

that it was going to be painted.

- Mmm-hmm.
- I think so.

Were you also envisioning that?

Bring out some more light
into the space.

- [Jon] Mmm-hmm.
- Right.

Is that where your kind
of West Coast mentality

of making it lighter
and brighter

- kind of comes through?
- [Jeff] Yeah.

Yeah, we miss the sun.

We want to, we want
to have as much brightness
as possible.

[Kristina] You know, a lot
of what you said up front

was that you like
kind of whites and neutrals
and whites

and neutrals and natural tones.

So we're here
and it's all very neutral.

Does that feel good?

Do you want to layer
any other colors
into your interior?

Like, generally, how do you feel

about the neutral
on neutral on neutral?

I like it
in terms of adding depth.

Like, if everything
was all white,

it would kind of be boring.

This is very beautiful,

also still just a little boring.

[Megan] I do wish
there was a little bit
more color.

- [Kristina] Mmm-hmm.
- I like it being in the same
color palette,

so like earthy tones,
but not having everything
be different shades of beige.

All right. So contrast, right?

So like, you made
a great point about neutral
on neutral,

everything starts to blend.

So black is a neutral.

I learned something new today.

What did you learn?

That black is a neutral.

But black is a color.

- White's a color.
- Yeah. Technically, yes.

- It's not a color.
- It's not a color.

- It's just neutral.
- [Kristina] Mmm-hmm.

So what's the difference
between a neutral and a color?

'Cause can't some colors...
can't blue be neutral?

No.

For the rest of this meeting,

I'm just going to stay neutral.

[laughter]

Go ahead.

[Kristina] So I see black
in the lights here,

I see black in the barn lights.

Like, there's a bunch
of sconces around here

that I like the contrast
of the black on the neutrals.

And I think it adds something
without adding color.

And it feels appropriate
to your house,

but it could be black
in like hardware,
it could be plumbing.

I mean, it could be trim
or a door or something.

But like, I see it as a neutral,

but it adds
to the neutral palette,

but it can be
kind of contrast-y.

Do you like that
or dislike that?

-Like it.
-Like it.
Two thumbs up.

- Done.
- I like that.

It feels appropriate
to the house,

but it can also feel
kind of modern.

[Kristina] Your kitchen
is going to be

a lot of white and neutrals.

We've got white walls,
white trim,

white countertops,
top cabinetry.

And with all of that, we think
black hardware and lighting

will provide contrast
but still read as a neutral.

We also want to paint
that ceiling white,

but leave the beams
as a reminder

to the age and history
of the house.

[Kristina] Okay.
Neutral on neutral.

So you feel comfortable
with us taking that data
and going?

- Yes.
- We trust you.

Well, I... I trust
your judgment regardless.

I love that, slash,
it makes me nervous.

[laughter]

[Scott] She's good at raking,
although she's spreading it

back out where we took it from.

[Jon] We're trying
to clean up your poop.

So what are you doing?

The poop is just...

Megan mentioned that
they wanted chickens.

[Scott] Oh, they do.

And there's actually a chicken
coop on the property

that probably hasn't been used
in 30 years.

I remember that.

This much chicken poop
in there, it's...

needs a paint job, everything.

So I'm thinking they're coming
from California,

so I want to kind of do
something
a little more modern.

Modern chicken coop.

Like California modern,

- like to match the interior
of their house.
- [Scott] Yeah.

[Jon] I've been really thinking

of a black chicken coop.

I think a black chicken coop
will give it that

modern, edgy feel,

and then just do something
creative inside,

a nod to where they came from,

kind of Santa Monica,
some kind
of beachy feel inside.

Do we have to get, like,
little bikinis
for the chickens to wear?

- Chickens in bikinis.
- [laughter]

Sounds like a plan.

[chickens clucking]

[Jon] Oh!

Oh, my goodness.

What are these things?

They're pickle crates.

What makes them
a pickle crate,
I don't know.

I'm actually really excited
about the pickle crates.

So the pickles must have been
in jars and then go in there.

[Kristina] You bring them
to draw them.

I don't know.
So here's what's happening.

They're cool.
That's all I know.

I think you need to go find
some more pickle crates

so I can have pickle crates,

'cause now I'm pickle crate
obsessed.

So I was thinking I wanted
some sort of open bin,

box for the pantry cabinet.

So like, right here,
like below here,

I wanted something
really neat and open

because this is the pantry,

so it's behind a door,

so it could be
a little bit messier-looking.

So we have eight of them,
but that's like my moment
of reclaimed in here.

- I love that.
- [Kristina] You can get behind
that idea?

I can.

[Kristina] Have you ever
figured out when this part
was built?

[Jon] No.

[Kristina] 'Cause I walk
in here and I keep thinking,

like I see like
the newish pine and I'm like,
this is so '70s.

- There was a fire.
- Really?

This caught on fire
a long time ago.

So that's probably
why those beams are replaced.

That's probably
where the main fire was.

[Kristina] Ew! Well,
that made... how have you
not told me this?

- I don't know.
- [laughs]

[Kristina] Once the orange
is gone,

you start to notice the beams.

- What?
- What about
these newer beams?

- What are we going
to do with those?
- [Kristina sighs]

I mean, I could sand them down,

throw some stain on them,

try to match
them to what this is.

There is no money
in the budget right now
to replace these beams.

We have two antique ones,
two brand-new ones.

So we have to find a solution

to make them
all look exactly the same.

So you're gonna figure out
how to stain these

so that they jive with those.

Have a good time!
Have a good time!

That's a lot of work.

These beams,
we have some old beams,
we have some new beams.

I love the old beams,
but they don't match
the new beams.

So it's just a matter
of trying to get
that balance.

I've stained the new beams
to try to match the old beams,

and it's still not working.

So I might have to stay
in the old beams as well.

And I really don't
like messing
with original stuff.

So I want to check in
with Kristina

because I only have one shot
to make this right.

[line ringing]

- [Kristina on phone] Oh, hey!
- [Jon] Hey, hey!

[Kristina] What's going on?

[Jon] Uh, did you get my photos?

[Kristina] Oh, hang on.
Let me take a look.

Uh, you were sending me
beam photos, right?

[Jon] Yeah.

[Kristina] Oh.

Oh...

[Kristina on phone] Oh.

We tried to get it to match,
but it's just not matching.

Something definitely
needs to be done.

I hate to stain the old beams,

but I think that's really
our only solution
to make this look good.

- [Kristina] I agree.
- [Jon] All right.

[Jon] Well, given
the Kubrick's main bath

a little bit of personality
with a patterned floor tile.

The light gray and white
add a subtle warmth
to the otherwise white space.

And the original floors
are getting a good sanding

and a new stain that's going
to lighten up the whole space.

The Kubrick's coop
is full of poop.

So the first step
in this remodel
is to clean it out.

I don't think
it's been touched in years,

so I'm going to give it
a good scrub inside and out.

[Jon] The cabinets
are coming in hot.

The pickle crates add
a vintage flair

and add great storage
to the pantry.

When you go up the stairs,

I just want you to feel
how nice it flows now.

It's not a tripping hazard.

I like how dramatic
you're making this.

[Jon] This makes me so happy.

[Kristina] I have to admit,
even I was tripping up
the stairs

with my tiny little feet.

Wow!

Just adding that one window
in the main bedroom

is such a huge difference.

This is my favorite bedroom.

It's so bright and airy.

These windows, we need
to put some sort of privacy
shade in there.

I love the idea
of a little bit
of small pattern,

but a way of doing it
in an affordable way.

Have you ever done
block printing

with, like, paint
and then putting it
on something?

Maybe in preschool.

So I was thinking
if we bought
the Roman shades

that are basic, that
these are a pretty
standard dimension,

we could spread them out,
we could cut patterns
into potatoes,

and we could dippy, dippy
and then make our own.

[laughs]

So we're having like
a, like a playdate, like...
like me back in preschool.

And we're going to,
what is it called, ink dip...

- Block print.
- [Jon] ...or block print?

- Yeah.
- Are we using
a specific potato?

I mean, we have russet,
we got Yukon Gold,

we got Red Bliss,
we got fingerling potatoes,
we got sweet potatoes.

Uh, love sweet potatoes,
but the size
would be all wrong.

- And mushy.
- And mushy.

And there's
those multicolored ones,

you know, the ones
that are a little purple,
white and red,

and those are kind
of the right size
that we could...

No? No.

- I'm ready. Let's go.
- Okay.

I'll grow some potatoes
this week.

- [Kristina] Hey!
- [Jon] Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Some people say potato.

Some people say potahto.

Kristina, she says
window-covering art.

[Jon laughing]

- Smart?
- Does it match?

Smart for you?

- There you go.
- This thing?

Uh-huh. Yep.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Yep.

They are a one size fits all.

They have lovely little ties
on the side
for adjustability...

- Oh, lift that arm.
- Adjustability.

They have pockets in the front,

so you can put tools in them.

They allow you
to create art
across the front.

This happens to be teal,
but it comes in 12 colors.

So you have your heart's
content of options.

So we're gonna take one of these

and we have a carving tool,

and we're gonna carve
literally into it

to create a stamp.

I almost want like
a starburst effect

happening of some sort.

So I literally just want
to carve across it

and then we can practice
and see what sort of shape.

This could turn
into a nightmare.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Like, I think it's better
when it's not all equal.

Do you have Band-Aids?

-[Kristina]
I do have Band-Aids.
-[laughter]

Let's not lop
a fingertip off, okay?

I take back what I said.
This is kind of hard.

Don't know what I'm doing.

We couldn't have just
bought pre-made stamps?

Well, maybe.
Maybe we could have.

But then it wouldn't have
that organic edge that I want.

I want imperfection.

I say we break out some paint.

Okay, let's do this.

Today made me say,
"Why did I come up
with this idea?

Are we going to be able
to execute?"

Made me say the same thing.

"Is it going to look
horrible?"

You might not see
these shades up

because we might not do
the rest of them well.

So, you know, stay tuned.

Okay.
I'm gonna start right here.

I'm gonna center it on the...

- Are we ready?
- Uh-huh.

[Kristina] Ah!

Ah!

- That's cool.
- Okay.

- [Kristina] Feel good?
- I do. I love it.

[Kristina] All right. Okay.

I think that I want
to experiment

next with broccoli
or maybe cauliflower

and just, you know, stick it
in the paint and...

and dab.

[Jon] White quartz countertops
on the white cabinets

are exactly
what the Kubricks wanted.

The clean California vibe
that still fits
a farmhouse kitchen.

Yep, you're good.

[Jon] Upstairs, we chose
a quartz countertop.

It's durable.

It adds a classic touch
to their much larger bathroom.

Oh.

[Kristina] Okay. So we're here
for Megan and Jeff today.

We're not here actually
for real flowers.

So what kind of flowers?

We're here
for dried flowers today.

- Dried flowers?
- [Kristina] Mmm-hmm.

I'm kind of nervous about it.
Okay.

Dried flowers are on trend,

so I'm like, "Okay,"
that got me thinking.

Like, maybe there's a cool way
to do dried flowers,

like, not like '80s potpourri
or like, prom-pressed flowers.

See, I never did that.

I actually didn't have a prom.

- I missed out.
- You didn't go to prom?

I was traveling.

- Oh!
- All around the world.

Mr.
I-Was-An-International-Star,
that sort of thing.

So you've got to miss out
of like pressing flowers,

drying flowers,
all that fun stuff.

But I need to go buy
some flowers now

and try to dry some just
for myself.

So I have this very, like,
retail installation art idea.

And so stick with me.

See how there's like
this install

where it kind of grows up
a wall.

Since Megan really wanted
neutrals all over,

I think we need some color,

but I can't give them
something permanent.

So I'm thinking this idea
of dried flowers

because it's creative,

and then she can change it
over time if she wants.

So a fireplace
in the living room.

You know how it's not working
and it's not going to work
for some time.

So putting flammable
objects next to it's okay.

But like they would start
on the floor with branches
and dried flowers

and kind of come up and come
around above the fireplace.

If it's good,
it's going to be so good.

If it's bad, it's going to be...

- hideous.
- [chuckles]

I mean, yeah, but I've never
arranged flowers on a wall.

Well, let's go see
what they have

'cause the upstairs is just
filled with dried flowers.

[Jon] This barn is amazing!

[Kristina] I know, like, just
the impact of walking up here,

like, the first time
I walked up here,

it almost changed
my mind about dried flowers,

because it's just so beautiful.

We are looking for things
in the rusty orange category,

the flax kind of category.

We do not want purples.

What color is flax?
What...

So just like a neutral.

So like, see
the beachy grass things?

- [Jon] Uh-huh.
- Here, you can be my knight
in shining farmer

and get that for me.

[laughs]

- Knight in shining farmer.
- I couldn't help it.

Like, so they're hung by,
like, a little
paperclip system,

so you almost just
have to grab it and lift up.

Grassy things could be good.

[Jon] It's stuck.

[Kristina] Oh!
Good save.

This is a challenge.

Oh, that's pretty.

And look at that.

I'm learning.

I'm learning to appreciate
the dryness of the flowers.

[laughter]

[Kristina] I think we're good.

Do you wanna go buy
some baked goods now?

Cookies?

[Jon] The beams have all been
stained so they match,

and that orange pint ceiling
has been painted

with a fresh coat
of white paint.

It really brightens
the space up.

Wave goodbye
to that dilapidated
chicken coop.

Whoa!

I'm getting seasick.

[Jon] We're adding
ocean-themed perches

and giving the place a nice,
fresh coat of color.

Or is it a lack of color?

It's black, which I just
learned is a neutral.

In the bedroom and bathroom,
contrasting hardware
and lights add depth,

and the huge dried
floral arrangement
is blooming.

[Kristina] Oh, are you staring
at the beams?

- Yeah, I am.
- [Kristina] They look good.

[Jon] Yeah, I think it was
a good choice to stain them

and the white ceiling and that
kind of brings it down

and kind of anchors it.

Yeah, and it gives it
that farmhouse warmth
that they want.

No, I feel, I feel 100% good
about our decision now.

[Jon] Jeff and Megan took
a huge risk buying this house.

And the moment I met them,
I knew they would never
regret it.

All this old farmhouse
needed was a family

who wanted to take a chance.

And now, that leap
of faith is paying off.

[Megan] Okay.

- Here we go.
- Here we go.

[Megan] Do you think
everyone's gonna be
excited with...

that we're the new kids
on the block?

I think so.
They better watch out.

- It looks...
- [Megan] Oh, my gosh.

Incredible.

Oh, we're back!

[Megan] Whoa!

Look at that.

[Jeff] This is amazing.

- What happened here?
- [laughs]

[Jon] You guys have this
classic wraparound porch,

which is super cool
and gave you some new lights.

I mean, I loved it even
before we did everything.

And it... it's hard for me
to believe,

- but I love it even more.
- Even more.

- Yeah.
- I already know
you guys did a great job.

- [laughter]
- Can we go inside?

- Okay, let's go.
- Okay. Go.

Okay. Here we go!

[Kristina] I want
to see a sprint.

[laughter]

- [Jeff] Whoa!
- Um...

[Megan gasps]

[Megan] Okay.

-This looks so good.
-This is perfect.
This is perfect.

- This is incredible.
- I'm like hyperventilating.

It is so much brighter.

[Jeff] Yeah.

- This is beautiful.
- Look at the fireplace.

I'm really enjoying
this whole foliage thing
going on.

- [Jeff] And it's beautiful.
- [Megan] It's really nice.

- I feel like we're looking
at somebody else's house.
- Yeah.

Like, I can't believe
that we get to live here.

It's so incredible.

You guys nailed it.

The biggest difference in here
was just adding the windows
and letting a lot of light in.

[Jeff] Before,
it was really dark
and kind of felt like old.

It doesn't feel like
grandma's farmhouse.

It feels like, you know,
a young couple's farmhouse.

You just brought
this place back to life.

This is our house.

- Yeah.
- This is it.

We live here.

- And it's cool.
- [laughter]

Do you think we can let them
see the next space yet?

I think we should.

[laughing]

[Megan] Oh, my God.

This is our house!

[Jeff] it's incredible.

It looks incredible.

[Megan] Looks so good.

So this space was chopped up
with the chimney.

You guys had the natural pine
that was just very orangey.

We painted out
the whole ceiling.

[Jeff] I love that
you kept the beams.

It ties into the rich history
of the home and the character.

It just feels like
you know us somehow,

and it's all in this space.

It feels so awesome.

Thank you.
This is incredible.

Unreal.

We still haven't gone
through that antique door.

- [Megan] Oh!
- [Jeff] Oh.

Ready.

Hello.

- [Megan] It's beautiful.
- [Jeff] It's beautiful.

- This is so...
- [Megan] Perfect?

- [Jeff] Perfect.
- Yes.

This is huge. We have tons
of space to put stuff here.

This is great. This pantry
is now multipurpose for you.

We've moved the washer
and dryer out of the kitchen,

so it's still accessible.

Plenty of storage in here.

[Kristina] These guys,
they're old pickle crates.

[Jeff] You thought
of all the details.

[Jon] Not only do we have
some more space upstairs,

but you guys finally
get to walk up
these brand-new stairs

- and tell us how you like 'em.
- [Jeff] Yes!

[Megan] Okay.

Let's go.

Imagine not tripping up
your staircase.

[Jeff] Oh, wow.

[Megan] My whole foot
fits on this tread.

I mean, who knew
that would be the bar

that we're working with, right?

But in this house...

[Jon] They were so treacherous.

And I don't know if,
in colonial days,

people had little feet
or I don't know

-why they did that.
-[Kristina]
Not a lot of space.

[Megan] Wow!

Wow, wow, wow.

[Jeff] I have room, like...

[Megan] This is significantly
bigger than I even imagined
that it would be.

- [Jeff] Yeah.
- This is a big change.

[Megan] This is a huge change.

[Jeff] I love the tile.
This is awesome.

Do you remember this space,

you guys had
the clawfoot tub there?

[Megan] Before, it was tiny.

[Jon] It was pretty tight.

[Megan] All right, Jeff.

I need to see if you fit
underneath that showerhead.

I hope I fit.
Let's check it out.

- [Kristina] I feel like
this is the dramatic moment.
- This is the moment of truth.

[Megan and Kristina] Oh!

[cheering]

No problem.
Plenty of height.

- [Megan] Oh, my gosh.
- This is perfect.

[Jeff] Take me to the bedroom.

[Kristina]
All right, let's do it.

Oh, wow.

This is so cool.

- [Megan] This is beautiful.
- [Jeff] This is really
beautiful.

Look at all the natural light
now that we have
two windows in here.

It, like, fits it perfectly.

What do you think
of these shades?

[Jon] "Mmm-hmm." She's like,
"Mmm-hmm, what do you think?"

They kind of remind me of,
like, little sand dollars.

Any potato ring a bell or...

Is it potatoes that you stamped?

[Kristina laughing]

[Jeff] Did you guys
hand-make our curtains?

- [Jon] We did.
- I think it looks good.

I think it looks great.

We're keeping it.

[all laughing]

And the post and beam,
you really feel like

you're in a farmhouse
when you're in this room now.

- [Megan] Mmm-hmm.
- You guys have three acres.

It's a farmhouse.

I wanted to do something
for you guys to get you
on your farming journey.

I have something in the backyard

that I want to show you.

- [Megan] Oh, my goodness.
- [Jeff] Oh, what is this?

[Megan] What is happening
over here?

[Megan and Jeff laughing]

So you guys made the move
all the way from Santa Monica,
California,

to Pelham, New Hampshire.

And I wanted to recreate
some beachy, like a...

a chicken shack.

Jeff's Chicken Shack.

- [laughter]
- [Jeff] Oh, that's incredible.

[Megan] This is so funny.

[Jon] So we were so fortunate
that this was already here.

We gave it
a fresh coat of paint,

- gave you a nice little beach,
small little boardwalk.
- [Jeff] Wow!

This is incredible.
Thank you.

I hope that your farming
endeavors begin here.

[Jeff] It's about
to begin right now.

[Jon] Check out the inside.
Welcome to your chicken shack.

[Jeff] It's open for business.

Oh, my God.

[chickens clucking]

[Megan] Oh, they have
little waves in here.

They're surfing the waves.

[Jon] That's for the chickens
at nighttime,

they'll jump up there
and they'll roost.

- That's awesome.
- [Jon] Yeah.

- Let's try out your perch.
- [Megan] Oh.

They're like riding the waves.

Bye, guys.

We can't thank you enough
for all the work and hard work

that you put into this
and all the heart
that you put into it.

When you guys walked
into that house today

and I just felt your joy,

and that brings me so much joy.

Life changes are so hard
to make.

And I just think making this
choice, moving to land and...

here we go.

-Oh, my God.
-[Kristina] Let it out, Jon.
Let it out!

Give me one second.

Keep it together.
Keep it together.

[Megan] Leo is going
to grow up in this house.

He's going to remember
certain corners of the house

and you guys made that happen.

So you're a part
of our lives forever now.

So you're stuck with us.
