I'm Christina.

You may know me from flipping houses.

Every time I walk in, I just can't get enough.

It's a sexy house.

That is just plain beautiful.

But there's a lot more sides to me than that.

I'm a mother of two with a new business venture...

We're embarrassed of this area.

Okay. We're gonna change that.

...a new man...

- It's perfect. - Whew.

...and a new point of view.

We need help.

We will make it so you both love it.

I'm helping people create beautiful new spaces

to spend time with their families...

- This is incredible. - It's beautiful.

I love this.

...and branching out into some new spaces of my own.

It's time that we're gonna sell the house.

I can imagine being in the kitchen

and checking out the view.

Very zen.

I know. Hello, Bali.

♪ This is just the start ♪

There's something wonderful

about reinventing someone's world.

- Oh, my god. - Wow.

Christina, I love you. This is amazing.

- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.

♪ We've just begun ♪

And so far, I'm loving the ride.

♪ Hey ♪

♪ Who got the power, we got the power ♪

- Wow. - How are you?

The new store looks so beautiful.

- It's really coming together. - So many new products.

And even more to come out soon.

Jesse and Missy own a flooring company.

I met them about five years ago through flipping houses,

and throughout the years, we've become really good friends.

Missy asked me to come to their store today

to discuss some renovations they're doing on their house.

Downstairs is totally demoed.

You guys are totally in the war zone right now?

We are war zone.

Yeah. There's nothing left.

Like...

No kitchen, no bathroom, nowhere to sit downstairs.

- We're in two bedrooms-- - Mm-hmm.

...about ready to condense into one with our daughter.

It's stressful, especially when kids are involved,

and they feel - out of their sorts. - Absolutely.

And you guys are all over each other,

and you know, I've been there.

So if I can live through it,

then I have more money to spend on the remodel.

You guys are living there - through it. - We are.

Have you picked out a design for the kitchen?

Yeah, we have. It's very modern.

If I let Jesse keep taking the reins,

I feel like my master bedroom and bathroom

is gonna be really modern.

That's, like, my sanctuary.

It's smart to kind of bring somebody else in.

It kind of softens the blow.

What are you looking to spend?

We have $40,000 set aside to spend on the master suite.

I would love if you could come and help us put that together.

- I would love to. - I am so excited.

I just feel, like, this big sense of relief right now.

- It's gonna be fun. - Okay.

All right. Well, now that I'm here,

and there's so many options, want to help me shop for a flip?

- Absolutely. - All right.

What's flip budget?

Basically everything on these walls over here.

- Hey. How you doing? - Hi.

What do you got going today?

Today, I'm driving cars fast.

What kind of car?

It's a little British car called a Ford Capri.

- Capri? - Yeah.

- Never heard of it. - You don't know those, do you?

- No. - Yeah, it's awesome.

Does it have AC? It's hot outside.

No air-conditioning, no power steering, no audio system,

no leather seats. It's rubbish.

What?

No. It's an epic car.

- Awesome. - Yeah. What are you up to?

- You know Jesse and Missy? - Yeah.

They gutted the entire downstairs of their house.

They're about to tackle the master bedroom

and master bathroom project,

so I'm gonna go over there and hopefully work my magic.

It'll be fun.

Well, I'm going to - leave you to it. - Have a good day.

- Love you. - Bye. Love you.

♪ Yeah, get ready to run ♪

- Hi! - Hi!

- What's up? - How are you?

- Hi. Good to see you. - Hi, you, too.

- Wow. - Come in.

"Wow," is right.

- Big-time construction zone. - Yeah.

You guys are living here during this?

We are. It's been rough. I'm not going to lie.

Yes, exactly.

I've seen this before when people take

on a huge renovation, and it's a lot.

I've been there.

If I can come in and take care of the master suite,

it'll let them continue to focus on the downstairs.

So we've been in the house,

working through construction for about three weeks.

We're kind of going with more of my modern thought

process, but, of course,

Missy wants to do more of the rustic stuff,

so it's really, really hard.

We're not arguing, but we are.

That's why we're excited to bring you in to kind of

help us out with the master bedroom and master bath.

I'm excited. You could dress it up

and make that a little more comfy and girly and...

- Comfy and girly? - Yeah.

- Okay. - Yeah, girly.

Just giving you a hard time.

We will make it so you both love it.

So you're redoing the steps?

- Yes. - Everything must go.

- Exactly. - Everything must go.

Okay. Oh! - Was this the kitchen? - This is the kitchen.

Okay.

This is our makeshift kitchen that we cook, clean dishes.

Actually, dishes are being currently done

in the Jack-and-Jill bathroom.

- Nice. - Yep.

So you can see right now, we don't really have a style.

And that's why we wanted you to be here,

to kind of change up everything.

Okay. Master bathroom?

- Classic '90s look. - Yes.

What do you like? What don't you like?

To me, the vanities seem kind of awkward.

I hate the shower.

It is so small, and we've never even stepped foot

in this bathtub in 4 1/2 years.

The fact that you don't need the tub is actually,

like, a major victory,

and we could do a really nice oversized shower

basically where the tub is, and for the window,

a slider and do a really nice tile work.

From there, do a double vanity right here

and then do, like, a really cool makeup vanity over here,

and I know that you're more rustic,

and you're more modern. - Mm-hmm.

And I think that you could easily combine styles up here.

- Okay. - And then we can go from there.

- Let's do it. - Let's get started.

All right, time to clear out of the bathroom.

Hello?

- Hi. - Hey, Christina.

- Hi! - How are you?

- Looks so good. - I know. We were just saying that.

We haven't really spent that much time in here, so it's huge.

So I brought these flooring options.

I brought this one for the shower pan,

and I think this combination is killer,

but what do you guys think?

I'm totally feeling that gray one.

I love the way it looks together.

The colors match really well. It looks amazing.

But I'm really curious to see what other selections

you brought that may be a little bit more on the rustic side.

Of course.

I'm really curious to see what other selections you brought

that may be a little bit more on the rustic side.

Of course.

I mean, this is-- It looks like concrete.

It's super modern.

I do think, like, these two look really nice together,

and I feel like this look softens it

and because your shower pan is so big,

that could work really nicely together.

Do you like this combination?

I do, and I'm really, really drawn to this.

I just feel like--

Yeah, I do like it, but I like how it kind of brightens

the concrete floors up. - Okay.

So let me show you some options for shower walls.

Missy, I brought this one for you.

I think you're gonna love it.

Let's just look at it really quick.

Now, that is just plain beautiful.

- I absolutely love it. - It's starting to grow on me.

- It's still modern. - Yeah, I know.

It's looking really good on the wall.

So there's the option to carry this tile

all the way around this wall

and the back wall above the vanities

to give it a super modern really unique look.

- I think it's an amazing idea. - I want to do it.

That's doubling the rustic.

- Good decision. - Let's do it.

Okay. Now we can talk about cabinets.

Okay.

Definitely rustic.

I'm just thinking maybe with so much gray,

maybe we do something a little bit lighter.

- I love that. - Now we're talking.

- More modern. - Yes, exactly.

So with that, I brought this countertop,

Calacatta marble, just to top it all off.

I feel like it is the perfect mix of rustic and modern.

- I love that. - It is so pretty.

I think these materials would be a great blend

of Missy's rustic and Jesse's modern styles.

The floor tiles and floating vanities are modern,

and the shower tiles are a little rustic for Missy.

I think they're gonna love it.

Your eye for this is amazing.

Thank you, again. - I am so excited. - Thank you.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Whoa.

Jeez. I need extra padding in these things.

I know. You were fooled, huh?

Here we go. Here we go. Right.

Being in a temporary rental while starting my new business

and keeping the flipping business going

is really starting to stress me out.

I try not to let that show, especially at work, so normally,

I try to go for a run or take it out at the ring in boxing.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

And thankfully, Ant has been super supportive, too.

He really helps me put everything in perspective

and is such a good shoulder to lean on.

- Take care. - See you next time.

- Hey. How you doing? - Hey.

I just took out a little aggression in the ring.

Hey. Why don't we take the pressure off?

Why don't we go for a little trip?

A trip?

I'm thinking I take you to London.

I mean, it sounds amazing,

but there's just so much going on right now.

Don't talk yourself out of it.

You can take a little bit of time off,

and we can just go and travel.

How about we just wait, like, a couple weeks?

And then there will be a break in the project

because that'd be a much better time.

All right, I'll delay it,

but I will go and book something now

before you change your mind.

All right. Sounds wonderful.

- Love you. - Love you.

♪ Da, da, da, da ♪

- It looks amazing. - It really has a lot of character.

- Hey, guys! - Hi, guys.

Oh, my gosh. It is so unbelievably beautiful.

I couldn't have even imagined it looking this good.

And imagine it going all the way up and on that back wall, too.

- It is fabulous. - I love it.

- Love it. - I'm stoked.

What do you think - about the flooring? - Oh, I'm obsessed.

This really looks like real concrete.

It gives it, like, a subtle,

like, really cool modern element but at the same time--

But it's still rustic because it's--...it's still rustic.

- I can't wait. - All right.

Well, speaking of floor, I've brought a flooring sample--All right.

so let's talk - master bedroom floor. - Sweet.

- This is real wood. - Okay.

I think it has a nice balance of different textures and tones.

- What do you guys think? - I think it's beautiful,

and I would love to do a herringbone floor in here.

- Yes. - For sure.

We really want to do a natural oak

in a herringbone pattern in the master bedroom.

Installing a herringbone pattern is more expensive,

but at least since they own a flooring company,

they get the flooring at cost.

- How much extra would it be? - About $2,500.

I think herringbone would look absolutely amazing.

I mean, this is our master bedroom.

This is where all the magic happens.

I love the idea.

Well, this is where the magic happens.

How can you say, "No"?

Let's also talk barn door.

I like the barn door thought, but it's way too rustic.

We've actually fabricated some steel barn doors in the past,

but it'll introduce a little bit of that

industrial look back into it.

- What do you think of that? - I think it sounds super unique.

It sounds expensive, though.

I'll give to you guys at my cost for $1,000.

We might as well go for it.

I know everything is adding up.

I do have one more idea I just want to throw out there.

What if we did a shiplap on the back wall,

kind of give it a more modern flair and run it vertical?

We can use a cost-friendly material.

- We can do it out of MDF. - How much is that?

- What are we talking? - It'd be right at about $1,100.

I think the shiplap is a really good idea.

- I like it a lot. - I do, too.

But it is our master bedroom.

We'll be spending a lot of time here.

- I like your thinking. - I love clients like you guys.

- Perfect. - Dream come true.

The Brave.

This is a nonalcoholic shot. It's a healthy shot.

It's called The Brave.

It has ginger, garlic, oregano, oil, turmeric, and lemon.

We probably need that with all the dust

that we're inhaling right now. - Uh-huh.

- Cheers. - To being brave.

- Whoo. - I liked it.

- That was different. - It's so spicy.

It actually made me sweat.

Are you guys excited to be out of the house?

Very much so.

Well, that's why I wanted to take you guys to breakfast

and just talk about - what's going on. - Yes.

Everyone that walks through our front door is like,

"Well, what are you doing with your huge

20-foot wall that goes upstairs?"Yep.

Well, I wasn't planning on doing anything,

but now that everyone has pointed that out,

I feel like I need to do something on that wall.

Everyone that walks through our front door is like,

"Well, what are you doing with your huge 20-foot wall

that goes upstairs?" - Yep.

Well, I wasn't planning on doing anything,

but now that everyone has pointed that out,

I feel like I need to do something on that wall.

I actually just did a job,

and there's a ton of extra material, but it's brick.

I would give it to you for free.

- Brick? - It's rustic.

Kind of almost feel, like, - lofty, which is modern. - Yep.

Why don't I bring some samples over?

We can put it up on the wall,

see what it looks like - and then go from there. - Cool.

- Okay. - One more thing to check off my list of worries.

Yes. Sorry.

You guys probably haven't eaten, like, all day

because you have no kitchen.

♪ Together, we are strong ♪

Just pack light.

- Light? - You're not taking that.

- Yes, I am. - We're gone for six days.

We're not moving in.

I'm a girl, which means I like to pack a lot of stuff.

Like, I feel like all girls overpack.

What's the temperature gonna be?

Well, it's England, so it's likely to rain.

Plus, I have a little surprise for you

because we're not just going to England.

Where are we going?

I'm not telling you, or else it wouldn't be a surprise.

Okay, but-- okay.

Do I need, like, a nice dress?

Yeah, you'll need a nice dress for the evening.

Okay. So I need a nice dress. I need warm stuff.

I need cold stuff, and you want me to pack light.

You're not honestly taking that whole suitcase.

Oh, my gosh. What?

I could put my bag in your bag five times.

Are you gonna have extra room in your bag?

Yes. In fact, I'm nearly done.

Perfect, because I'm gonna need it.

- I brought the brick. - Awesome.

It's definitely rustic.

Some of it's a little bit broken, jagged.

- It's used. - I love it.

You can have the material. I have it in a warehouse.

It's all yours, yours for free.

- Awesome. - This is a big wall, though.

- What is it, 20-foot ceilings? - Yeah.

For labor and installation,

you're probably looking at about an extra $5,000.

Whoa.

Okay.

When it comes down to it, I want her to be happy.

You want to do it?

- Let's do it. - Okay.

I will have the material brought - over and let Ross know. - Perfect.

I can't wait to see it. Oh.

As a family of three living through a whole house

remodel all crammed into one space,

that's really tough, so it's important that I keep

Jesse and Missy focused and excited

about how amazing their master suite is gonna look.

Doesn't it feel so much bigger in here?

It feels magical, but my favorite part

is definitely carrying the tile all the way through.

It looks amazing, and the floating vanities,

you can tell just how cool they're gonna look.

- Let's talk about the bedroom. - Love, love, love the master.

The floors have become my absolute favorite thing

in the house. - It's so pretty.

How do you feel about floating nightstands

that tie in with the floating vanities?

I think I could dig that.

I think that would look really cool.

There's just something that's really bugging me.

- It's this wall. - Don't like it?

I mean, the shiplap, it looks cool,

but it's looking very farmhousey.

I think there's definitely something that we can do it

to carry it to a little more - of a modern rustic element. - Yeah.

And I think it could be as simple as painting it.

It'll definitely feel a lot more modern with a dark wall,

and then with the floating nightstands,

that'll tie in a modern element, and then don't forget,

we have that really cool metal barn door,

which will also incorporate a much more modern element.

Now you're talking to me. That would be perfect.

All right. Rustic-modern. We're back.

- How are you? - Good. You?

I'm good. When are the floors going in?

They're starting today.

They'll be going in this weekend.

Oh, nice. Well, that's a huge step.

The goal is move back in the next couple of weeks.

- Yeah, couple weeks? - Yeah.

You're so close.

The goal is to move back in the next couple of weeks.

Cabinets look great, and the counters

look absolutely beautiful.

I like how this is kind of, like, teak and natural,

and then the marble countertops are timeless,

and then this is just so super modern and cool.

It really is rustic-modern.

I absolutely love it. I mean, it's at the finish line.

It's just crazy push to get everything done.

- Two weeks? - That's the goal.

It's going to happen.

♪ Let's go ♪

Jesse and Missy have been

totally involved with the transformation,

but I'm keeping them away right now

because I want to surprise them with decor

that's totally going to fit with this rustic-modern style.

Look what I got.

Ooh. So cute.

And then you like to tuck them in or leave it hang?

No, let's tuck it.

- More pop of color in here-- - Yeah.

I think they're gonna love it.

- What's up? - It looks so good.

- How are you? - Oh, my gosh.

I'm, oh, amazing.

After living in one bedroom for months, today is the big day.

I can't wait for them to see the master suite

I designed, but first, I have to give Jesse and Missy

props for the design they did on the ground floor.

They did a beautiful job.

- I seriously-- - Oh.

...every time I walk in, I just can't get enough.

When you walk in here, it looks like a New York loft.

- It's a sexy house. - Thank you.

I like the fact that you guys did the waterfall countertop

with the black cabinets.

The bricks look amazing.

It all carries together so nicely.

- It has so much character to it. - It really looks awesome.

The attention to detail

that you guys did is beyond amazing.

I mean, I can stare at this all day.

But are you guys ready to go upstairs?

- Yes. - Let's do it.

Okay.

- Oh, my god. - Wow.

This is unbelievable.

I'm so glad you guys went with herringbone.

- It looks perfect. - Yep.

So just like downstairs,

there's so many different elements in here,

but it's just the way that everything ties together.

It's that whole industrial modern, rustic-chic look.

- It's so beautiful. - I love everything.

The black just looks, like, super cool and modern.

- So much to take in right now. - I know.

I still can't even believe this is

where I get to sleep every single night.

Oh, what about this?

I've never seen anything like it.

Ross knocked it out of the park on that one.

It's such a different element.

- I'm stoked. - I am so stoked.

I could've never put this together like this, ever.

You killed it.

The decor really blended in with that space

to make it look way beyond what we were expecting.

I love this door.

- My god. - Wow.

This is insane, Christina.

It feels like a spa.

It just all ties together so nicely.

It's so unique. It's just beautiful.

And I swear our bathroom feels twice as big as it did before.

Literally, I've never in my life had a spot

where I can actually sit down and get ready.

You have your space there, or you have the double sink.

You have tons of countertop. You have a huge shower.

Like, there's just a ton of space.

- Look at how big this thing is. - I know.

It's crazy.

So I know we were really trying to achieve

the rustic-modern style, and I think we definitely did.

Everything came together so well.

I don't even know what to say.

I think it was worth every single penny.

The overall outcome was amazing.

This is something we're going to love for years to come.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Christina.

- I really, really appreciate it. - Thank you.

Being able to help my friends with a home remodel

has been an amazing experience.

I know they'll love their new master suite,

and it's really brought us closer together.

♪ All the world is my stage ♪

How heavy is your bag?

- Heavy. - Oh, my god.

This me and Ant's first big trip together.

I'm just thinking that we're going to London,

but then he surprises me and tells me

we are headed to Ireland to a castle.

We did all this random stuff like horseback riding

and high tea, bow-and-arrow shooting.

If you hit the yellow, I'll do a dare.

In the lake? No pressure.

- Good? - Right.

- Oh, yeah! - You did it.

Whoo!

Oh, yeah. Whoo!

I knew I was gonna hit that target, aimed it and bull's-eye.
