I'm Christina.

You may know me
from Flipping Houses.

This is way worse
than I thought it was.

Oh, my gosh!
It's like the whole house!

But it turns out,
flipping houses was
just the beginning.

Are you ready
for the fun part?

- Absolutely. Let's do it!
- Yeah!

This is very hacienda.

- It's a poured cement.
- Whoa!

I've got a growing
design business
with an amazing team...

- Whoo!
- Nice!

It's pretty!

I'm obsessed!

- You love it?
- This
looks incredible!

...and three kids
that definitely keep me
on my toes.

Bray-Bray, let's eat
your breakfast without
a pool toy.

I'm helping people create
beautiful new spaces

to spend time
with their families.

Wow! I can't believe
this is my house.

Oh, my God!
Christina, I'm blown away!

I can't believe it!
Never thought I could have
such a beautiful space.

And so far...

I'm loving the ride.

I'm stopping by a contractor
Mike's office today

to check on some plans.

We have about eight projects
going on right now.

We came up
with some 3D.

Basically, it's gonna
show the kitchen,
how it's gonna look.

It looks pretty.

It's a huge island.

- Isn't that big? I think
it's over like ten feet.
- Yeah.

- Ten feet?
- Yeah, I think so.

That's like
the size of mine.

I know-- Actually, no.
I think it's about 13.

- Thirteen?
- Yeah, it's 13 feet.

- It's a big boy.
- I know.

I know we have
a lot going on right now,

but I'm about to hit him
with another.

What's one more?

I got a lead on a new client.

- Okay.
- They're newly married.

Their names are David
and Odett.

Young family.
They have a one-year
old daughter.

They seem super sweet.

And basically,
it's a tiny kitchen

that's kinda like
peeling apart.

Is it old?

So, yeah.
It's dark and dated.

You know, they look like
old cabinets that just like--

You mean like those
old brown ones
they used to put in?

- Yes.
- Yeah, yeah. Okay.

And look at that tiny island?

So they need an area
where they can
sit around, entertain.

This kitchen is just not
doing it for them.

I'll go check it out,
but I just want to
make sure that

- you're cool and we can
take this on.
- I'm in.

- I'm up for it.
- Okay. Cool.

All right! Could be a fun one!

- All right. Awesome.
- See you soon.

- Have a good day. See you.
- Okay, bye.

I'm actually really looking
forward to this project.

David and Odett's house
is near where I grew up

and it's always fun to be back
in this area.

Their house is relatively new,
so I'm curious to see what's
going on inside.

- Hi.
- Hi! Hi.

- Odett. Nice to meet you.
- Hi. Christina.
Nice to meet you.

- Hello. David.
Nice to meet you as well.
- So nice to meet you.

Beautiful home.

Oh, my gosh, guys,
Your house is so clean.

Don't you have
a daughter?

We have
a 15-month-old.

This is like
the cleanest house
I've ever been in.

It's the cleanest,
emptiest house.

- I guess, it's empty.
- Yeah.

So we moved in
about a year ago,

right after our daughter
was born.

Yeah. Lot of our rooms
don't actually have furniture.

We need help.

Once I see the rest
of the house,

then we can start coming up
with some ideas.

Yeah, you're right.
This is meticulously neat.

Need some tips.
Mine doesn't at all
look this clean.

Okay. So, kitchen.

- Right this way.
- I think we should just go
straight to the point.

Okay.

It's really small
and it's really dark.

- Tiniest island ever that--
- Tiniest island.

- It's really weird
to hang around this.
- Yeah, you can't.

We've had days where,
you know, there's six
or seven people

- and we're around this island
and it feels very weird.
- It's awkward.

Like, if you want
to put your cocktails
or even food down,

there's just not enough room.

The pantry
doesn't work for me.

Um, I lack counterspace
when I'm cooking.

So, I have no prep space.

We both like to cook.

But with the counterspace,
it's just not
functional for us.

If my wife's in the kitchen
and I'm not there,
it's functional.

If we're both in the kitchen,
its non-functional.

Our cabinets,
there is some finish that
is peeling in random areas.

It definitely is time
for an update.

Okay. Because the appliances
look really new.

- Were those here? Okay.
- Brand new.

So, assuming
you obviously want to keep
all the appliances.

Yes.

Okay. So I saw like, next
to the stairs is a little
wine fridge

and there's a little
one there.

- Yes.
- Are you
into wine?

So we are a wine family.

My parents have
a little winery.

So we highly,
highly enjoy wine.

Except, we just don't
have any space.

This is full.

The fridge that you saw
in the front was full.

And then, we use
our refrigerator and we add
more wine in there.

Okay. I get it.
We're gonna find
a nice area...

- Oh, that would be great.
- ...for you
to enjoy it together.

You'll have your spot.

- That'll be awesome.
- That'll be phenomenal.

It feels
pretty traditional.
Is that your style?

It's a traditional
house, but I would say
my style is more modern.

I love rustic.
But I like a modern rustic

with, like, newer-looking
countertops.

I would say, I'm more like
a Flintstones, my wife is more
like The Jetsons.

Okay. The Jetsons,
I mean that's like
crazy modern.

It's not that extreme,

but I do like light, bright,
clean finishes.

Okay. So, is there anything
in this house that represents
you guys' style right now?

Is the upstairs remodeled?

It's not bad.

- Could we see it?
- It's traditional,
so not my style.

Okay. I'm sure it's clean.
So, you guys aren't
gonna be embarrassed.

I'm not trying to put them
on the spot, but asking to see
the rest of the house,

I can just tell that
the downstairs
is not their style.

Sometimes, getting a tour
of the entire house can be
really helpful for me

to see what a client
really likes and doesn't like.

Pretty view.

Okay. So tell me about
the style in here.

Like, the wood look
and the rustic finish
is just not my style.

It is my style.

But I would've like to go
with something
a little bit darker.

We couldn't agree on
the furniture, the dressers
in here.

You notice a trend, right?

I love this bathroom.

It's nice and dark.
It's got lots of contrast.

- I mean, this looks fantastic.
- Yeah, its soothing.
I love the bathtub.

That's probably
the one thing in this bathroom
that I love

'cause it's more modern look.

It's very hard for me
to understand why she
doesn't like the rustic style.

Because rustic is old
and it never gets old. Why?

Because... it's old.

- So it never
goes out of style.
- Never goes out of style.

- Rustic never goes
out of style.
- Oh, boy.

That's actually
the first time
I've ever heard that.

What's your occupation?

I am in IT.

Yes, so yes. My mom is in IT.

So I understand. It's logical,
so it makes sense.

Nothing old
can ever go out of style.

Is there anything
that's modern
that you want to show me?

Yes! There is
one thing in this house
that I got my way on.

Oh, yes!

This table.
This is modern.

- Mmm-hm.
- Clean, bright, modern.

You're like making a face.
Like, this is too much
to handle.

Earlier we talked about
The Jetsons, right?

It's The Jetsons. Look at it.
It's just too modern.

It's just our style
is not the same.

- Okay. Okay. I got it.
Let's go back.
- All right.

Okay.

I think rustic
to him means
using darker colors

and natural elements
like wood and stone,

which is pretty far from
her light colors
and metal finishes.

What are you guys
looking to spend here?

-$80,000.
- Perfect.

Okay. That's a really
good budget to work with.

Okay. Here's what
I'm thinking.

What I suggest is
that we bring

this whole wall out and extend
the kitchen to this wall.

I would suggest moving
your double-oven

from over there to over here,

and we make this like
an appliance/pantry wall.

Your refrigerator,
double-oven
and then a nice large pantry.

- The tiny island will be gone.
- Okay.

Then over here,
since the double-ovens
will be switched,

this will all be prep space.

You'll still have
your stove here,

and sink, and dishwasher
there as well.

But on this wall,
we would extend the lowers

all the way to where
the window is.

Which is going to give you
about six feet more
of kitchen space,

- which is huge.
- Oh, wow.

And then we bring out
a nice, large peninsula.

You guys can hang out
around it.

We'll do an overhang,
so you guys can
sit here as well.

And that'll make the kitchen
feel literally, twice as big.

That sounds amazing.

Yeah, sounds good.

So, if you're good
with everything,

I can have my contractor,
Mike, come out,

we can get everything demoed
and get going.

- We're ready. Let's do it!
- Let's do it.

- How's it going?
- Good.

Question. Are they keeping
this fridge?

They were planning on
keeping everything, yeah.

- Right?
- Yes.

Why?
Did it break? What happened?

No, no. Nothing broke. But...

The thing is it's not
counter depth, so...

out to here, it's almost
35 inches.

Where does the counter end?

In comparison, how many inches
is that?

Over eight and a half inches.

Wow! Then it would
just stick out like this?

Or we bring everything
out to this depth.

But then, I feel like
the peninsula's here,

I feel like it could
get tight.

Demoing the space
really revealed
how big the fridge is.

And if we build the kitchen
around this space,

I don't think it's gonna have
that custom look
that they want.

It's either like,
we do a smaller peninsula

and then we have this
bigger area over here,

or...

we get a new fridge
and we have a big peninsula
and more room to walk.

'Cause eight inches,
that's a lot.

I gotta tell you, there's
nothing in this kitchen
that I picked out,

except for that right there.

- Oh, no.
- So getting rid of it is...
I don't know.

I mean,
I hate having anyone
spend extra money,

especially we're at
the beginning of the project.

But ultimately,
in this kitchen, we wanted
to create more space.

So by gaining that extra foot,
I think you'll be happy.

You can definitely sell this
and recoup, like,
minimum half

- of what you paid.
- That's true.

If we have to do it, then...

let's just do it.

- Okay.
- All right!

- Here we go.
One small change order.
- All right.

Maybe.

I hate spending money
on a new fridge,

but I also know
it doesn't make sense to have
a cramped kitchen

because I'm attached
to an appliance.

And listen,
if I get a new fridge,

maybe I can get one
with a smart screen.

On top of David
and Odett's renovation,

I'm also working on a project
in La Jolla,

which is about an hour south
of Newport.

Hey, Christina!

Hey, Brian. How are you?

I'm doing great.
How about you?

Good! I was actually wanting
to take James down to
La Jolla

and show him the project.

That way he can start
helping me with it.

Yeah, sure.
No problem.

I met with
the owner Brian
and his daughter, Alana,

last week to walk the space.

The entire project is design.
There is no renovation.

And he has about $50,000
to spend on furnishing it.

I came in to look
at this place,

and I walked up
into this room,
I looked straight up there

and I said to myself,
I'm doing everything in
my power to get this place.

- That is beautiful.
- Oh, my gosh!

Just got better!

This is peace
and tranquility.

But...

it really doesn't feel like
our own place until
you work some magic on it.

Well,
what's your style?

Uh...
you have full authority to do
whatever you want

- with this place.
- Oh, yeah?
Whatever I want?

You just gave me
the best project ever.

I'm gonna be,
off and on, out of town.

I got a lot of business stuff
coming up.

So, feel free, you and James,
to have at it.

Okay, I know that
you've worked super,
super hard for this place

and it's just like
your ultimate dream,

so I'm so happy to be able to

help you dial it
and make it the perfect place
for you to go.

Please work some magic
and we know you'll kill it.

- Take care.
- Safe travels.

- Okay. Bye-bye.
- Bye.

Before I can take
James down to La Jolla,

there is an issue that
popped up at David and Odett's
that cannot be ignored.

How is she liking
the construction zone?

Where's the kitchen?

Who knows, huh?
It's gone?

Is it in there?

We have a child with us,
so no bad news allowed.

- No bad news?
- Yes!

- See?
- Wow, okay.

All right, so...

Now, now.

I knew when we got
into the closet,

we're gonna have
the AC ducting

- and the vacuum.
- Yeah?

But, do you guys see this
right here?

It says gas,
in big letters.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

This is the main
for the house.

- For
the whole house?
- It comes through here.

- What a... weird spot.
- Yeah.

We, first of all, got rid
of the refrigerator

so we don't have to design
around it.

And now, we have this
random gas pipe

that we're gonna have to
design around.

- I know.
- So what do we have
to do with this?

Are we supposed
to move it? Or...

We can move it...

but you'll have to redo
the whole line underneath
the ground.

I mean, we can spend like
$3,000 just moving
the gas line.

- Mmm-hm
- Oh, wow.

This is the main
for the house.

We can move it, but...

I mean, we can spend like
$3,000 just moving
the gas line.

- Mmm-hm.
- Oh, wow.

So right here was gonna be
the refrigerator.

- And then the oven?
- And then the oven.

So it'll just be a small
little cabinet, and then
the oven.

And then the rest of it
would be the pantry.

- Got it.
- For $3,000,

I say, we just leave it there.

And we can just create a small
cabinet right here,

and no one will ever know
it's there besides you guys.

So it looks like it's part
of the cabinet,

but when you open it,
it's just shallow.

- Let's just go with that.
- Yeah.

I agree.

- Hundred percent.
It's a lot to spend.
- Yeah.

- All right.
- All right, Avery. Let's get
out of this construction zone.

It's coming out
of your college fund.

Oh, that's brutal!

I'm bringing James
down to La Jolla today.

He hasn't seen the space yet

and I can't wait to show him
everything I'm thinking.

This is the first project
where he and I have had
the owner's full permission

to do pretty much
whatever we want.

I can't wait.

Can we go in the water first?

- We can go in the water
when we're done.
- Okay.

First work, then play. Okay.

So, scrap all the furniture.
It's all too modern.

What size couch do you think
we can get in here?

I don't like the look
of the double couch
that he has going.

We can probably
go 90 inches.

- Okay, so a nice sofa
right here.
- Yeah.

So I was thinking
like a beachy-vibe,
little bit of boho.

Yeah.

My thing to him
was, I just said like, we need
to soften it up a little bit.

What if we kinda,

balance the grey
with the lighter
earth tones in this?

I like that.

And the kitchen is
crazy modern!

And then we have
this harsh counter so...

- Lots of accessories. Tons.
- Accessories, accessories, accessories.

Now, let's go look
at the bedroom.

Wow!

Can you imagine.
This is your view when
you wake up in the morning?

Yes, I can.

And I will.

What's kinda
weird about here,
and I need you help.

Whoever designed this,
did it sort of awkward

because when you open the door

you can't have
patio furniture.

You can't at all.

Of course, you're gonna
wanna sit out here.

But what do you do?
There's no room.

So, it's almost like
we need to find a place
to store it somewhere inside.

That way you can have some...

- cute chairs.
- Yeah, we'll figure that out.

- Is that kinda weird?
- Well, couple of chairs...

That can go out there.

- Okay.
- Outdoor fabric.

- Perfect. All right.
- Yeah.

Not much in here,
but it just feels
a little sterile.

- A little cold.
- It does.

- We can
work on that.
- Again, the view.

- Okay! All right.
- Oh, my gosh!
Right? Whoo!

Okay, this is what
we have to concentrate on.

- Seriously! I'm not
even kidding!
- I know.

So pretty, right?

This area, he was
really excited about.

So he wants this to be a total
entertaining area.

- Yeah.
- Lots
of seating, so.

I think this can be awesome.

- I'm down.
- I know. Dream come true.

Now that
we've walked the space,

we'll start pulling options
for furniture and fabrics.

What I love about this project

is it shows you don't always
have to gut a space
to transform it.

This is
my favorite day.

- All right!
- Design day.

We did have one question

- we wanted to ask.
- Mmm-hm?

The oven that we had
over there on the wall,

we were thinking about
just getting the oven
under our stove,

- so we can gain
more cabinet space.
- Okay.

This is actually
a great change.

By losing those wall ovens,

we could scoot the fridge down
and build a bigger bank
of cabinets around it,

while still hiding
the gas line.

That would definitely
flow a lot better

with the fridge being
more centered.

- You guys want to do that?
- For sure!

Okay! That's great news.
I'll let Mike know about that.

And now, we can get
to the fun stuff...

- Yes!
- Design.

- David, do you mind moving
that table to the middle?
- Absolutely.

Since they're
struggling to blend
their styles,

I bought a few more options
than I normally would,

to make sure that we get
everyone on the same page.

So we'll start with like,
the most like, basic one,

white shaker.

Then we have...

a light grey.

- Okay?
- Okay.

We could go... blue.

And then we have...

the whitewashed oak.

Showing materials
to homeowners

can go one of two ways.

Either they're super excited
or they get really quiet.

When this happens,
I just keep explaining
what I'm thinking.

That way, they have time
to process everything.

With all these, we can
play around with them.

You could do,
like, white uppers

and grey lowers.

You could do white uppers,
wood lowers.

What are you guys thinking?

I don't like this.

I like that one.

If you blend them together,
the modern-rustic, I think
it looks really, really good.

- Look how good that looks.
- Mm-mm.

You don't like that?

- No.
- Okay.

Let's play around with
backsplash and counters.

Okay.

This is a quartz marble
with a nice veining.

- Love that!
- Yeah,
looks really good.

- We have pull handles.
Brushed brass.
- Okay.

- I think I really like
the brushed brass.
- I like it.

And then, we have
a backsplash.

Ooh!

The backsplash has
a modern geometric pattern

that she will like.

But it's in a natural
marble texture that
he will love.

The countertop is
clean-modern for her,

but still has stone
veining for him.

I mean, I actually
like the backsplash on there.

I like it too.

I mean,
it's definitely modern,

but it has a rustic
kinda design.

I really like
the countertops.

I like the backsplash.

I like the two-tone.

I can go with white uppers
and the blue,

or white with the grey.

What do you think, honey?

- I mean,
if we did like this--
- No.

- This? No?
- No!

- Yes. Maybe?
- No.

- Just the blue? Okay.
- Just-- No.

This...

looks good on both.

I mean, I'll be honest.

I like the blue a little
bit better than this grey.

I just think that it
brings some contrast.

I love the blue.

I think the blue
cabinets and that backsplash

will really compliment
each other.

Even though what they decided
leans more towards
her modern look,

I have an idea that will
bring in more of his style.

I want to make sure
they're both happy.

I love it!

Oh, my gosh!
We're making progress.

- Yes! Thank you.
- All right.

I know we're talking about
this room and how
there's this dead space

- and obviously,
there's no furniture in here.
- Yup.

So what I was thinking is,
I know you guys
are big wine lovers,

your parents own a winery,

what if we create
like a cool wine room?

- I think that's a great idea.
- That'll be great.

I notice you have
like a wine cooler

under the stairs right here.

- Yes, we do
have that there.
- Okay.

To create
this bar area,

we can move the wine fridge
they already have,

but I think we're gonna
need a second one.

And then, we can create
some shelving around it.

So, some lowers.

And then we can do
some nice floating shelves
above it.

Yeah. I think
it would look great.

I like
the floating shelf idea.

Put some wine
on display, some cups,
make it real cute.

- I like it.
- Okay.

So, we could go
with white lowers,

or we can bring back
the rustic vibe

- that David loves and we can
go with the whitewash.
- I like it.

It's a centerpiece and I think

you know, with the wine,
we kinda talked about
how timeless it is...

Well...

I know your face is like,
not you again!

But the reason why I brought
it back is because

wine has that
kind of rustic vibe.

It's pretty subtle and I think
the floating shelves
would look really nice.

- Yeah.
- I mean, it's gonna look
really good in this area.

- You want all of it
with the... rustic?
- I mean, we can--

I think we can put
a rustic feel to it,

because its wine,
its timeless.

We could go with
white lowers

- or we could go with
the whitewash.
- I like it.

It's a centerpiece and I think
you know, with the wine,

we kinda talked about
how timeless it is.

- You want all of it
with the... rustic?
- I mean, we can--

I think we can put
a rustic feel to it,

because it's wine,
its timeless.

I mean, think about it.

The kitchen's really
modern, right?

So, I think if we can go
a little bit more rustic
on the wine part?

Please, please!

I mean, I know
he really loves that.

Um...

I can compromise.

Thanks, babe.

You're the best.

Let's do it.

This wine bar is going
to look amazing.

You'll see.

And then you'll want
more rustic throughout
the entire house.

Unlikely.

- Hi. I have smoothies.
- Hi!

They ran out of large cups.

So who gets
the large?

- You. Because
I'm a team player.
- So kind of you.

Okay. So...

Mmm-hm.

La Jolla.

So what I'm thinking is...

'Cause the house is so modern
and sterile,

I want to soften it a lot.

I would love to do
like a light, white sofa.

- Oh, that
would be fun.
- Right?

But then, add pops of color
with our normal,

like the rugs and the plants
and the crystals
and everything.

Agreed.

People are gonna be coming in
with the sand and the ocean

and so like, the materials
need to be ocean-proof.

- So these are all
indoor-outdoor fabrics.
- Sure.

The main floor bedroom,
something different
for that room,

like, more masculine.

- How about
swivel chairs?
- Ooh!

I mean, when you sit in it,
it's like you're in
a race car.

- Yeah.
- Okay?

- Roof.
- Lounge chairs.

We need to get
rid of this spa.

Okay, perfect. He actually
doesn't even want that anyway.

But, I feel like it's a waste
to totally get rid of it.

I think we should move it
to the grass area.

We'll have
to get a crane.

Yeah.
That way Alana can use that
with some friends.

If I were a teenager,
this is where
I would want to be.

There and the beach.

Of course you would.

- Sneaking boys
into the backdoor?
- Exactly.

And she'll have a spa,
she'll have some chairs,

we'll do some rugs,
we'll do some poufs.

- Let's get it done.
- And he said we can stay there
while we were doing it, so.

- Okay! Even more fun.
- I know. Even better.

We have free reign.
So order away.

- I will.
- Thanks for the juice too.

Thank you. I'll drink my small
little juice over here.

Down in La Jolla,
we've hired a crew
to move the hot tub

from the rooftop deck
down to the backyard space

that we're designing
for Alana.

Between that
and my other reno projects,

things are crazy.

But making time to hang out
with my best friend, Cassie,
is always a must.

That looks tasty.

It's so good.
The sweet pepper relish...

Everyone loves it.
We love making it.

- You want to try a little bit?
On a little cucumber?
- Yeah. Of course.

It's so good.

I put it on all
our charcuterie boards.

- Mmm...
- Isn't it so good?

- It's like a gift.
- You know, it's not so bad.

What's going on?
How are you?

Um... I'm good.

Just got a lot
of projects going.

I have that project
in La Jolla.

I was about to ask you.
How's that going?

Um... really good.
It's right on the water.

We need to do
a girls' weekend there.

I am ready. Sign me up.

- I can use a little,
nice little few day away.
- Yes!

- Actually, James is shopping
for it right now.
- He is?

- Do you want to say
hi to him?
- Yeah!

I haven't seen
James so long.

- Oh, my!
- Hi!

Hi, James. How are you?

- I'm good! How are you?
- I'm good!

Oh, my gosh!
You look very busy.

I have been busy.
How's your James?

My James is good.

He's gonna need
a nickname.

- I know. I know.
- Chef James.

Chef James.

I can't wait
to meet him.
I have not met him yet.

- You haven't met him?
- We need to change that
as soon as possible.

Yes, I'm at the house.
It's a little chaotic, so...

when are you coming?

I'll be there soon.

I have a bunch of stuff
I need to bring down

- but like--
- What's in
the background?

Oh, my Lord! James!

It's getting worse
before it's getting better.

Oh, man. You guys
have some work left to do.

Okay,
we're gonna go upstairs.

- Oh, my gosh.
- So jealous right now.

Oh, that's not so bad
for a day in the office.

- Yeah!
- I was literally just sitting
here telling Cassie

that you're running around
shopping for this project,

but you're just like chilling
on the water.

I mean, life's rough.
Right, James?

Most of the
furniture's here and
are stuffed on back orders.

There's so much more to do.

Well, I can't wait to have
a cocktail on that balcony
with you.

I can't either!

- All right, I'll see you soon.
Have fun.
- Bye, James.

Oh, my gosh.

You know, I have
a beautiful view...

- with the freeway.
- Exactly.

One day it will be the ocean.

- Just put it out there.
That's right.
- Heck, yeah. Mm-hm.

Wow!

- These look beautiful!
- Yeah! Thank you.

Yeah, no, I'm loving it!

Look at
that peninsula too.
It's huge!

I just feel like
there's some things that...

that we can change

- to make it a little bit--
- Change! What?

- Well--
- His idea, keep in mind.

We're not exactly on
the same page on it.

- Oh... Yeah, what are
we talking about?
- How big of a change?

I just feel like
there's some things that...

that we can change

- to make it a little bit--
- Change! What?

We're not exactly on
the same page on it.

- Oh... Yeah, what are
we talking about?
- How big of a change?

Originally, we were gonna buy
the new fridge.

Right? And the fridge was
gonna have the smart screen?

But I think what we can do is
instead of putting it
on the refrigerator,

we can buy a different
refrigerator and put
the screen here.

Wait. Wait. I'm so confused.

So the hood is a TV?

It's almost
like a huge tablet.

You can get notifications
from the laundry,

- from the dishwasher,
has a camera on it.
- This is my tech husband.

He finds... I mean, I don't--

- This is what I live with.
- You get it?

No, but I kinda
like it though.
I'm not gonna lie.

Explain how it looks.
I'm so confused.

So... so basically,

it's a screen that goes up.

We will have to build
some sort of cabinet,

and then, it'll mount
on the inside of the cabinet.

So it does change the layout
quite a bit,

- because--
- So here's the problem
with this.

The idea was to take
the backsplash through
the chimney hood.

So now with this
new idea of his,

it's gonna take away
from the backsplash.

So, what would we
have to change?
What's the cost?

It sounds like we're gonna
have to do a whole
another cabinet above it.

'Cause I have
to hide the duct in.
That's the only thing.

- Right.
- But, at the same time,

we were gonna do tile
all the way up.

So it could end up being
a wash, honestly.

We've never done it.
Now everyone's gonna want it.

- Oh!
- So, we good to go?

Are you in on it?

All right. I'm in.

I'm not gonna lie.
I'm kinda excited.
I wanna see it.

- See!
- See! It is cool!

- Thank you.
- All right! Well!

- Starting a new trend.
- I'm excited to see this.

I want to create
a seating area
next to the bar,

so I'm taking them
to a home store in
Newport Beach that I love.

I have a few pieces in mind
to show them,

including a few from
my own furniture line.

So what I envision
is four comfy chairs
facing each other,

nice coffee table
in the middle,

kind of a conversation area

where you guys can be having
some wine or relaxing.

I like that.

These are like a little more
traditional vibe.

These I'm sure
are really comfortable.

- Swivel chairs.
- Oh, look at that.

Oh, yeah.
What about these, honey?

- Little Sherpa.
It's a little hard.
- Poor sheep.

Poodles. Poodles.

Yeah, I really doubt
these are your style.

Okay, so, I want you
to try these.

These are really,
really nice.

I see stuff here
that, David, you might
really like.

Yeah, I did have
my eye on something.

Look at this.

Take a look at this!

It's definitely
a conversation piece.

That is not mine.

Let me just see how it feels.
Oh, this is not bad.

You gotta sit in this.

There is no way you're gonna
tell me that is more
comfortable than this.

When you see the way
this hand

grips you butt...

It's just... this is nice.

Just sit in it.
Take a look at it.

That's fascinating.

- Oh, ow!
- You like it?

You don't like this?

Honey, that's so hard!

- Listen, the world is
in your hands.
- Come and check these out.

- Yeah, I like this.
- Oh, these are comfortable.

- They match the cabinets.
- Yeah. They're rustic.

And I like
that they're big,
because it is a big space.

So four of them
will fill that space
really nicely.

I want to
order them now.

- Now! Let's do it.
- Right now.

- You want the hand too?
- I would like the hand, too.

It's only $1,000.

If we get
a five-finger discount,
I'll take it.

Hey, guys!

That's like a computer.

It is a computer.

So me being the guy
that I am, of course,

I pre-programmed it.

If you want to take
a recording of the food
that you're cooking,

you can actually
change the camera
and it will show you

the food that you're cooking
at the time.

- You can take
a picture of that.
- Cool.

You can upload it to
your favorite social media.

I'll call Christina while
I'm cooking a new recipe

and say,
"Let's check this out."

Okay, so,
if you want to
check something out...

- It's pretty cool if you want
to teach me about it.
- Just check this out.

There we go.

So now you can see
all the cameras that
we have in the house.

You can see the kids room.
You can see the front door.

We can turn the lights
on and off...

- Oh, okay. That's--
- Straight from here.

That's cool. Why do I have to
come here to turn off
the lights?

- I could just turn off
the lights...
- It's just one of many.

They're laughing now,
but I'm just a trendsetter.

I'm telling you,

soon enough,
everyone will have one.

Mmm-hm.

Well, we're almost done,
believe it or not.

If you guys don't mind,

I'm gonna ask that you guys
stay out of this side
of the house.

James and I are gonna work on
all the finishing touches,

and I want it to be
a surprise, next time
you see it.

We will stay out.

- Deal?
- Deal.

Okay.

With so much to do,

James and I are playing
divide and conquer.

He's down in La Jolla
working on Brian's house,

and I'm putting
the final touches on David
and Odette's kitchen.

You guys have been living
in the bonus room,

and cooking up there
and not been able to enjoy
any of your downstairs.

Huge transformation.

- How are you guys feeling?
- We are very, very excited.

- Let's do it.
- All right. Won't make you
wait any longer.

- Wow!
- Oh, my gosh!

Wow!

All right. Won't make you
wait any longer.

Here you go.

Wow!

- Oh, my gosh!
- Whoo!

Wow!

Shut the front door!

This looks amazing.

- Oh, my goodness!
- Look at the bar!

Remember before,
this was just dead space?

There was nothing here
and there was no purpose.

I'm so glad we're able
to create this rustic zone
over here.

It looks amazing.

- This looks just...
- It doesn't look
the same.

I can't believe that
this is even our house
right now.

It's such a cute
adult space too.

Oh, and it's so comfortable,
these chairs.

- No, I love it.
- They look great
in this room.

And they actually
go with the cabinetry,

like almost perfectly.

Your guests come over
and now the first thing
they see

is gonna be your wine area,
not just a blank wall.

I know it has more
of the rustic vibe
that David likes,

but, Odett, now
that it's all together,

what do you think?

It looks much better
when it's all come together.

It's not as rustic as I...
you know, was scared of.

- So I think it came together.
- Modern-rustic.

- That's what this is.
- Yeah, and all the touches
are really nice.

And... it came together
very well.

'Cause before,
you had that little
wine station

- under the stairs...
- Yes.

...and now you have
a whole zone.

We have so much space.

- We need to get
more wine. Yeah.
- Yeah.

I love the wine bar.

I'm excited to be able
to use it.

I really feel like
now we're gonna be
able to hang out

and enjoy with our family
and friends.

The whole thing just came out
really great.

I am obsessed
with your kitchen.

- Wow! Look at this!
- This kitchen!

The backsplash. Wow.

- So pretty.
- Yeah, it's very--

And the blue just
brings out all the colors.

And I love that we did
the backsplash around
the windows,

it draws your eye up...

The contrast,
it just looks great,

like, the small...
like, details, like,

the gold trimming
on the backsplash,

- just give it such
a different look and feel.
- Yes!

This is amazing.

I'm so glad we
went with the brass hardware.

I feel like that
really adds pop too.

Not having the island
in the middle,
it looks ten times bigger.

Look at all
this space that we have.

Just bringing it
out that much
with the peninsula

makes it feel
like it's twice as big.

The kitchen that
we had before had this small
island in the middle,

so you had a really
small island inside
of a small kitchen.

And now I feel like,
this is how the kitchen should
have originally been designed.

It's really fantastic.

It definitely feels modern.

Yes.

- I love
the waterfall edge.
- Yes.

And,
you have your TV!

I just think it would
look better with my--

I'm definitely
gonna use it for recipes,

it's there now
and it does look good.

And then before,
you had the pantry

and there was
a gas line over here

but we hid it perfectly

by just enclosing it
and honestly, you'd
never know it was there.

Never know.

And you had to get
a new refrigerator,

but look at this sleek,
modern fridge.

- Yes!
- Yes.

It was 100%
the best call
to get rid of our old fridge

and get a new fridge
that was counter-depth.

Definitely, 'cause our new
kitchen now looks seamless.

- These rooms just felt
super separated...
- Yes.

...and now it feels just
like one, big
entertaining area.

And I love how
we have barstools here,

this is something
we did not have before.

- Totally,
it has the best flow now.
- Fantastic.

Are you guys
excited to have
your house back?

That is-- Yeah.
- Yes!

- That's an understatement.
- This is
my dream kitchen.

I'm so glad
you guys are happy
and love it,

and it was so much
fun working, you guys.

We could have not done
any of this without you.

Worth the wait.
Thank you so much.

I'm so glad you love it.

I think overall,
our styles came together.

And I can't wait
to start cooking.

I'm excited about
just having, you know, friends
and family over again.

- Christina... Christina
hit it out the park.
- Yeah. I agree.

You can play right
there in the kitchen.

Since we have so
much room now.

With David and Odett settling
back into their house,

I'm headed down
to La Jolla to help James
finish up with that project.

Hey!

- Hi!
- I'll be right down.

So excited!

Just never,
ever gonna get
sick of that view.

- Or used to it.
- I know.

- Let's go look at it.
- Okay, okay,
all right.

- Easy to get distracted but
we got a lot of work to do.
- Here, gimme that.

The house is gonna be
completely dialed.

Like, he just shows up
and he can make a sandwich.

Hey,
just like we promised.

Can you imagine just
sitting here and cooking
and hearing the waves crash?

Like, I feel like I would
actually become a really
good cook, you know.

Well, let's get
this done and then we don't
have to imagine it.

I love this, like, bar area
that used to just be cabinets.

Look how cute it is.

I love this table.
I like that the chairs
are durable.

You can spill stuff on them,
don't have to worry about it.

This house literally looks
totally different

and we spent
no money on construction.

I know.
Who needs contractors.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay.

I like the fact that
we're doing a ton of seating,

but it doesn't look like
a ton of seating.

No, it's so open.

Can you imagine,
like, if this was your life

and every morning
you woke up to this?

- Yeah!
- Like,
is this real life?

- Makes you wanna
make your bed, huh?
- It really does.

I feel like I just
wouldn't get outta bed.

I'd just become this,
like... sloth.

- Just--
- Well, look where you are.

- Who wouldn't want
to just lounge.
- Oh, my gosh.

What is a bedroom
without a crystal.

- Got some good vibes going.
- You have to be
protected on both sides.

- Yup.
- You know, I'm really liking
these white ones.

I don't know why,
but they speak to me.

- White crystals speak to me.
- Oh, that's
love and light.

- Really?
- Yes.

- I guess I'm bringing
love and light.
- Yes, you are.

So I feel
like this room,

was actually, probably
the most complicated room,

because, it's just--
everything's grey.

And it feels sorta
like a hospital.

- Oh, this is perfect.
- Yeah, it's really nice.

- It totally breaks
it up 'cause it's got pattern.
- Yeah.

- Softens it,
adds a nice vibe.
- Yeah, I love it.

Me too.

Like, the vibe totally shifted
from sterile to relaxing.

And that view,
even from here...

Incredible.

Whoo!

It's gonna be
a lot of exercise!

Now that the spa's gone
and we have the room,

we can flip the table,
this way.

Got it?

It's gonna drop.

Ahh!

I told you it's gonna drop.

James and I try to
think of every detail.

From the coffee cups
to the toilet paper, even
the lounge chair settings.

- This is just wonderful.
- Okay.

- Why don't you be in charge
of the cocktails?
- All right.

The house is coming together
and Brian will be here
to see it tomorrow.

But now it's time to celebrate
with my specialty...

Ah! Strong.

Dirty Martinis.

- Cheers. I love you.
- Cheers. I love you, too.

- Thank you so much
for all your help.
- Oh, team effort.

It...
it came out perfectly.

- Oh, it's a damn good olive.
- Mmm.

- I know what I'm doin'--
I know!
- Wow!

- That's like one of
the best I've had.
- I know, I told you.

Like, you cannot buy
the store-bought kind.

You have to, like,
get your own blue cheese
and stuff 'em in olives.

It's crucial.

Couple more of these,
I'm gonna get you out there
in the water.

Couple more of these
and I might do it.

- Hi! How are you?
- Christina! How are you?

- It's so good to see you.
- How's it going?

- Good. How are you?
- Good seeing you.

- It's been a while.
- Big day.

- Are you excited?
- Oh. Yeah.

I had trouble
sleeping last night.

- Really?
- Really lookin' forward
to this, yeah.

- You haven't peeked?
- Just got here.

- You haven't drove by
and snuck in?
- That--

I have not been to this place
since we first met you.

- Okay.
- So I can't wait.

- Okay, here we go.
- Welcome to your beach house.

Oh, my gosh!

Look at this.

- Am I in
the same place?
- Right?

This looks
totally different.

I mean this...
actually looks like
a beach home now.

- Oh, good.
- This is epic.

We really
focused on making the space
more inviting

with natural textures
and warm tones.

In the kitchen, we played up
the natural colors

in the cabinets
and countertops for
a boho, beachy vibe.

- Like, you've stuff.
- Oh, my gosh!

Just so you know,
I had nothing when
I bought this place.

I know you didn't.

- Nothing. Look at this.
- Now you literally have
everything that you need.

Oh, my gosh. I mean,
I don't think I've ever
owned one of these.

- You've never owned
a knife set?
- I have not, I'm a guy!

- I'm a single guy. Come on.
- How do you cut?

- This is like...
- You don't...
you don't, like, cut?

I'm gonna
be cutting now.

I'll be doing more cutting now
that we've got this.

- Okay, now, walk down here.
There's so much more to see.
- Oh, geez.

Okay, wow.

We tried to
create a ton of seating

that's movable,
so all these chairs,

everything's indoor-outdoor
fabric, so it's super durable.

And they're lightweight
so you can pick them up,

turn them around,
look at the ocean.

These poufs, you can sit on.

So you can pick
a chair up and...

- Enjoy the view.
- There you go. Sit in a chair.

I'm beyond the moon.

It's incredible.
And even what
you're sitting on.

- What're these called?
- Yeah, it's a pouf.

- Pouf, right?
- Yeah.

- You can put the pouf
right out here and...
- Yeah.

- ...watch the sunset, right?
- Exactly.

Yeah.

All right, this is actually,

probably my favorite room in
the house you're about to see.

Welcome to your room.

- This was the grayest room
of them all.
- Okay.

So we really
tried to soften it up,

with a masculine touch too,
so it doesn't
feel too feminine.

Love the carpets, by the way.

- Good .
- These are, like, beautiful.

This is literally
the best bedroom I've ever
seen in my entire life.

Oh, my God.
The-- oh, sheets.

I feel like I'm in a castle,
like a castle with a beach.

- Can I sit on it or...
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's yours.

- What do you mean,
can you-- this is your place.
- Ah! Ah.

- I'm kinda getting used to the
fact that it's now my place.
- Yeah, it's your house.

I moved out here
with $50 in my pocket

from Western Pennsylvania.

And it's just-- it's a lot
for me to take in that
now this is my place.

Like, I'm so not used to
having something like this.

- But I have to tell you...
- Sweet.

I mean, you have literally...

helped us with
a dream come true.

- Here we just
added a few accessories...
- Beautiful.

This is like...
the little tray is...

perfect, you can even put
a candle on there I think.

I mean,
I really appreciate that.

- Well you've worked
extremely hard for this house.
- It's helping me feel-- Yeah.

And we want it
to feel like

a perfect sanctuary
for you to come relax.

- So I'm glad that,
that's what it's feeling like.
- Yeah.

You deserve it.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Right?

- Right...
- So we wanted this to have,
like, the indoor-outdoor vibe.

Right? So you still feel
like you're inside,

relaxing, having
dinner, entertaining.

This is incredible.

It's gonna create
lifelong memories

for you and your family.

- There's one more thing.
- Oh, no.

It's kind of
a surprise for Alana.

- Let's go check it out.
- Okay.

Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?

- This is--
- This is the spa
that was on the roof?

- Yeah!
Isn't it cute?
- Okay, well--

Picture Alana
hanging out here
with girlfriends--

- Her? What about me?
- Oh, you like this area?

- I wanna be
hanging out-- I mean...
- Oh!

I have thoroughly enjoyed
doin' this for you,

and I hope you create
amazing memories here
and slow down

and relax and enjoy the view.

You're a magician.
You have

done such an epic job
of bringing this joy
into our world.

You are welcome
to come here
any time you want.

- I would love to. This is my
favorite house. Ever.
- You got it. Deal?

- Deal? All right.
- Yup. Yup.

- So happy you love it
- Thank you so much.

And I hope Alana
loves it as well.

Yeah, she's gonna be thrilled.
For sure.

- This is the--
look at the kitchen area.
- Wow!

It looks so good.

Look at... look at what
Christina did here.

I'm so thrilled
that Brian loves

everything that we did
for his beach house.

He's so excited to show Alana
and I hope that she likes it
just as much as he does.

- Open up.
- Oh, my gosh!

It's so nice!

Wow. This looks,
like, relaxing. I like this.

It's just like, honestly,
a dream come true

that she actually
did it for us.

- I'm really, like, glad
she's able to do this.
- Awesome.

These last few weeks
have been beyond busy,

but I love helping couples
and clients find their styles.

Seeing them happy
in their new spaces,

makes all
the hard work worth it.
