I'm Christina.

You may know me
from flipping houses.

This is way worse
than I thought it was.

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?

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

This is very hacienda.

It's a poured cement.

Whoa!

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

Oh...

- Nice.
- This is 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.

♪ This is just the start... ♪

I'm helping people create
beautiful new spaces to spend
time with their families.

Wow.
I can't wait to see my house.

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

I can't believe it.

I never thought I could have
such a beautiful space.

And so far,
I'm loving the ride.

I'm so excited.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you. Ooh!

How fun. This is gorgeous.

Come on in.
I have champagne for you.

- All right.
- I love having a visitor.

Is it just us?

- Yeah.
- All right!

Not a bad day
at the office, right?

Oh!

Cheers.

James, this is my slogan...

"Pink champagne,
can't complain."

Okay.
"Pink champagne..."

You haven't even drank yet.

I didn't.

Believe me I did not
get a head start.

It's too nice of a day
a day to stay inside.

So I thought that James
and I could have our
meeting outside because

I have a potential new client.

That was just so needed.

Just like come out here
and escape, like,
we're just alone

and there's the water
and the kids love it.

You could just lay
right there and read a book.

- Right. Yeah.
- By yourself

I might just
stay here for a few days.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Well, we are busy,
busy, busy, busy, busy.

And we have to work too.

- And we got to work.
- Yeah.

So my labor and
delivery nurse for Hudson.

Her name's Kristin.

When I had Hudson,
she told me,
like, the day after

that she was going
to buy a fixer
and she want me to redo it.

And I was like, "Deal,
you're the best nurse ever."

So she finally found one.

- She did it?
- Yeah.

She bought a fixer
in Huntington Beach.

- Oh, great.
- Yep.

- So she just recently
had her fourth child.
- Okay.

Her husband
is a firefighter and they
are a very tall family.

She's, I believe, 6'2".

Oh, my God!
She's really tall.

Yeah.
And he's at least 6'4". Yes.

Oh, and what room
are we doing?

The kitchen
and the living area.

Okay.

- Probably have to do a kitchen
where we raise the counters.
- Yes.

- Which we have never done.
- Right.

So I'm going to go out
there next week

- and I'll let you know
how it goes.
- Okay, perfect.

But I'm sure
that it's going to be great.

Nice, nice.
Just keep bringing them in.

Right. So, in the meantime,
we just...

I love it.

Come on, Jordyn.

Kris, someone's there.

Yeah.
Go, go, go.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Is there like a party in here?

Yeah.

- Come on in.
- Hi.

Hi.

Good to see you all.

Good to see you!

- Hi.
- Hi. I'm Christina.

I'm Glammy.

Nice to meet you.

I can see it.
I can see the glam.

I like it.

I am going
to take them out
so you can do you work.

That's very nice of you.

Work your magic.

Hi, Christina.
How are you?

Hi. How are you?

- Good to see you.
- Wow.

You guys have
got a full house.

Yeah.

So we have four kids.

Our oldest is Brooklyn
and she's just turned five.

And then our second is Jacob
and he's three-and-a-half.

And then our third
is Jordyn and she is two.

And then our newest is Raelyn,
and she's five weeks old.

Eric is a firefighter,
so he's gone
for a minimum of 24 hours

every time he goes to work.

So I'm here with the madness.

She's the hero for sure.

She's just out.

Yeah, for now.

Good baby?

Yeah.
Overall, overall.

- Come on.
- See you later.

All right, guys.
Have fun.

Bye!

Kids say, "Good luck!"

Love you!

Okay.
He's staying.

Glammy is taking three.

You are a superhuman,
like, wow.

Five weeks old?

Five weeks.

- You look great.
- Thanks.

You're rocking it.

I'm like very impressed.

- Pretending.
- Yeah.

No.
You're doing good.

That's all that matters.

Everyone's tricked.

Oh!

Yeah.
These have got to go.

- We want that out.
- It's got to go.

How did
that even happen?

And I'm not even like
the tall one here.

I know, right?

Okay.
There is a lot of archways.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Are we...
- It's not our vibe.

- Apparently that was
a choice when they built this.
- Oh.

They could either
have squared it or they
could have done arches.

They decided the arches.

Yeah.
Especially for tall people.

This is...

This is a lot.

We want this
opened up a little bit.

Okay, okay.

What are we,
what are we feeling in here?

Take out the built-ins.

Okay. Yes.

We need
to get rid of my mantel.

Because being
in my medical field's eyes,

this looks like a uterus
and ovaries on the side.

I actually totally see it.

And I can't.

Every time I look at it.
I'm like, I can't.

You can't.
You can't unsee it now?

- No.
- Exactly.

Yeah.
That's easy though.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I have some vision and ideas.

- Yes.
- Yes. Okay. Okay.

- So this is a dining room.
- Yes.

And this is a very tiny
kitchen for you guys.

Yes.

Especially,
these walls coming out.

It definitely closes things
in and then
you're real tight in here.

You know, we can
reach across the whole thing.

Yeah, this is not
enough space for all of you.

This window here,
this bay window. I mean...

Yeah, not attractive.

No. It cuts off a lot
of space outside as well.

Okay.
There's a closet under here.

That's what
we're using as a pantry.

That's our
secret pantry.

Not in the kitchen at all.

- Oh, strange spot.
- Right.

Okay. So you're a firefighter.

Yes.

Every time
I've had a firefighter,

I feel like they always
love to cook.

It's part of the job.

It is? Oh, it is.

Yeah, absolutely.

- What,
you have to cook?
- Yes.

Oh, I didn't...
I wasn't aware.

And you need
to learn quickly
how to cook well

'cause you got to cook
for the rest of the crew.

And if it's not
good, you'll hear about it.

- Oh, yeah.
- I bet.

Like, what do you guys
envision? What do you want?

We want as open as possible.

- Right.
- As open as possible.

I think with us being tall,
the countertops
are a little bit low,

- we'd like to
bring those up.
- Perfect. Easy.

Open this up,
so it flows a little bit more.

To not have
so much wasted space.

As soon as I walk
into a client's house,

the wheels start turning
and I start seeing the layout.

Since they're so tall,
I want to raise the counters

from the typical 36 inches
to around 40 inches.

Then I see making better use
of the wall space by getting
rid of one of the sliders.

They don't need two of them
and this will allow us
to expand the kitchen.

What are your guys' styles?
Because this is going to be
a blank slate.

I know.

And we can
do whatever you want.

I know.
The beauty of it.

Yes.

Mr. Modern over here

Modern.

I'd like to say simple.

I like simple things,
efficient things,

but I also like light
and bright.

- Okay.
- So I like to,
you know, get some color.

Not super outlandish color,
but maybe an accent
here or there,

but also just brightness
in here.

I think I'm more,
like, farmhousey.

Mmm-hmm.

Yours is more
of a rustic style.

I like more texture versus
just like straight lines

and everything
perfect and clean.

We'll have
to find a happy medium.

It's called modern farmhouse.

What are you guys
looking to spend here?

What's your budget?

It's like around 70.

We might have
a little bit extra

if there's something
that pops up, but we'll see.

Okay.

Hopefully,
not too much more.

It's a good number.

So here's what I'm thinking.

We need to open the space up.

Take this wall all
the way back to here.

Take this archway
all the way to here.

Create a nice walk-in
pantry right here.

Very nice.

I like the pantry
under the staircase

and by moving the doorway
into the kitchen,

it'll be much more functional
and much bigger
for their family of six.

In here, take out
these two walls.

Okay?

Because you guys do not
use that area for anything.

It would be nice to switch
the dining room,
put it over there

and make this whole
area kitchen.

Okay.

I like the idea
of the sink here
facing the pool.

Looks really nice.

Just do a new window.

So we'll do
a dishwasher, sink.

Okay.

Lowers.

We'll do an upper right here.

Okay.

Frame it out
with a slide-in range
in a nice hood top.

More lowers, another upper
to frame in the hood.

And then right here
because we don't
need the double slider,

we can do a window,
and then continue
the kitchen all along here,

all lowers, along this area,
uppers and lowers,

and then end with
a nice built-in refrigerator.

- Wow.
- Perfect. Wow.

With the fridge
on the far end
of the kitchen,

it'll create a nice workspace
between the range,
the sink and the fridge.

There is questions
on as far as the walls,

so I'll need to get Mike
out here just to confirm that.

- Okay.
- Sure.

But if you guys
are ready to get started,
he can come out this week.

- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.

- Are you ready?
- We're ready.

Are you sure?

As ready
as we're going to be.

Oh, my gosh.

It's gonna be chaotic,
but we'll figure it out.

Where are you guys
going to put the kitchen,
with the kids and everything?

- Well...
- I think we're going
to go to his parents.

We're gonna stay there.

They've allowed
all of us to come in, so...

Yeah.
It's very nice of them.

- We'll see. Yes.
- Very nice.

Okay.
We have a plan.

- Yes.
- Okay.

- You heard us.
- Where do I start?

You guys are
going to help out?

You're going
to do demo?

- Absolutely.
- Oh, wow.

- Game on.
- All right.

I bet you I could
do it faster. We'll see.

Oh, mmm-hmm?

Wait, is it a competition?

- Always.
- Of course.

- It has to be.
- With everything.

Okay.

- Okay. You ready?
- Okay.

One, two, three.

Go.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh!

What's going on?

We have a competition
going on right here.

Oh.

We got two
very competitive people.

Okay. I was, like,
"What in heck?
Is somebody mad?"

I can't say I'm surprised.

Kristin and Eric both
played professional
volleyball back in the day.

In fact that's how they met.

They're very competitive
with each other on just
about everything.

Who won?

I'm going
to say this side won.

No.

Okay. So I hear
the baby crying.

Okay.

We'll give you
guys a break and then
we can look into the walls.

- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okay, okay.

- Cool. Time out.
- Sounds good.

All right.

Well, really hoping
that this isn't bad.

So the plan
is to take this wall
all the way

back to the stairs.

Right. Yeah.

- To right there. Okay?
- Yep.

And then to take this
wall all the way back
to right here as well.

The only thing we want
here is that entrance
to the walk-in pantry.

Okay.

And these walls.

And these, yeah.
I think those are
going to be fine.

I think it's just going
to be these I'm worried about.

All right.

So this is a structural wall
and that's a structural wall

and that small section
is a structural wall.

So over here, this one,
this one is structural.

What?

Every single wall.
That's four beams.

We have
some bad news.

Basically every
single wall is holding
up your second floor.

In some way, some kind...

...we can take out
that wall and that side

and we're within budget.

And if we want to take
out this wall where

it's two more beams,
three more footings,
going back to the engineer,

I think worst-case
you're going to be
at around $10,000.

- It's a lot of money.
- A lot.

Extra expenses
when you're taking on
a big reno are always hard.

I know it doesn't make
it any easier,
but Kristin and Eric

planned ahead
and they put some money
aside just in case

something came about.

Back to square one.

It's like
one of those things
without doing it,

you're just still going
to have the closed-off feel
with a bigger kitchen.

Right. Yeah.

- Yeah, we'll do it.
- Yes.

All right. Let's hope
nothing else comes up.

I... Hey...

No bad news.

I make no promises,
but I do wish for the best.

- All right.
- All right.

With the demo
complete, Mike was able
to get a better look

inside of the walls
and unfortunately
we found a problem.

We got a little
bit of an issue here.

It looks like it.
It looks like it's wet.

It is.

So remember this was the wall
separating the kitchen area.

Yeah,
there's a pole in the wall.

Yeah.

So this is the sewer
pipe for the upstairs
bathroom over there.

- What?
- And these are
the water lines for it.

We were removing the floor
and we noticed some
moisture in this area.

And you had two small
pinhole leaks in here.

It would be nice to try
to get this overhead
and not in the slab anymore.

- Mmm-hmm.
- As well as move
this into the wall here.

- Okay.
- So, you know...

We can continue
the kitchen.

Yeah.

Yeah, we
definitely cannot leave
that right there.

What are we looking
at cost-wise?

It's not horrible,
but I mean probably
around 600 bucks,

'cause we've already
dug up the concrete
right here.

- Mmm-hmm.
- So we just need to move
the plumbing at this point.

I'm sure you guys
don't want a pipe in
the middle in the kitchen.

- No.
- Okay.

So we'll definitely
move forward with that.

Yeah, that's a "for sure,"
I guess.

- Yeah, okay.
- All right.

Well, next time
we're back here, design day.

- All right.
- Sounds good.

Wait.
Did I go the wrong way?

It's down here.

Yes. I got both.

James and I
are always on the go.

So we tend to do a lot of
"office work" in the car.

Today, I need to hit him up
on a special project that
I've been thinking about.

Actually, I have
another client for you.

Really? Who?

Me.

I just want to, like, redo
some stuff in my house.

So I'd like your help,
if you're up for it.

Okay.
What are you thinking?

So I want to...
The area where
the motorcycle is,

I would like to do
a bar there.

Oh.

There's been
a lot of changes this past
year for me emotionally.

So I want to make some
changes to my house
so it feels more like my own.

Yeah. Do you think Mike
would want to do it?

Of course he would
want to do it.

Are you kidding?
We'll just tell him to do it.

Okay.
I'm going to call him.

Yeah, let's check.

Hey, Christina,
what's going on?

Hey, how are you?

Good, good.

So, I'm in the car with James.

Hi, Mike.

Hey, what's going on?

So I want to redo
some stuff in my house.

Your house is awesome.

What do you need
to be done over there?

Mike!

I need some changes.
I'm going through stuff, Mike.

I need to spruce it up.

Okay. I forgot.

I'm going to call
your wife and tell on you.

Oh, my God.

Just listen.

Okay, okay.

I want to do
a bar area where
the motorcycle is,

a nice built-in.

I'll send you some pictures.

Want to meet
at the house next week?

Yeah. Let's do that.

Okay, cool.

The support beams
are in at Eric and Kristin's,

but they're second-guessing
the layout.

So with Eric
at the fire station,

Mike and I are meeting Kristin
and the kids at the house
to talk it through.

I know we've
initially discussed putting
the fridge over there.

Yeah.

But what are
thoughts about putting
it under the stairs?

Okay.

So it's closer
to the stove.
Not kind of...

So you're thinking about
putting it under here?

Yeah, like right
where you're standing.

Where the pantry is?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I mean,
we can do,
we can just swap

and put the pantry
where the fridge
was going to go, but like...

More like a...

Like a cabinet. Yeah.

Okay.
So we could do
the pantry over here.

It's not going to be
as big as it would
be over there,

but we could do full-length
one, so at least you have
some storage.

Okay.

But let's
talk a little bit about

cons of doing
the refrigerator over here.

I just want you to be
aware that like
when you have your groceries

and you're trying to put stuff
away and you're getting
stuff out,

you're really going to have
to walk all the way
over here because

there's not going to be
anything over here.

Right. No counters.

Right. I thought you should
be aware of that.

Kristin likes the fridge
being as close to the sink
and stove as possible.

So swapping it out
with the pantry will
work great for her.

With this change,
they'll get a smaller pantry,

but it'll still be
totally functional.

What are we looking
at cost-wise?

That part wouldn't
really matter as far
as cost because

we'll just kind of
be swapping.

- Okay.
- So that's fine.

The only thing though,
is I kind of need to know,

'cause we need to run
the water line and we need
to know which location.

- Where to put it?
- Yeah.

But I don't know what...

I don't know which way to go.

If you're hesitant about
doing over there and you think
it might bother you,

then I think the natural
choice is to do it here.

Okay.

If it just
makes more sense
functionality-wise,

then that's what
I would go with.

Okay.

That would make sense.

Where do you think
it should go?

Over there.

- Over there?
- Oh, my goodness!

I think we'll do there.

Perfect.

- All right.
- Sounds good.

Perfect.

And you can have
a mini-fridge over there.

- All right.
- No.

No?

You guys want
to help clean up or...

Yeah.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, come on.
Get your gloves on.

I'm not going to lie,
those puffs are not bad.

- What are they?
- Have you
tried them?

You want to try one.
I'll try one.

Well,
little snack here, guys.

There's like
a hint of air
with a slight flavor.

- Oh!
- Fake out.

Yeah, it's like
strawberry air.

Babies love
strawberry air

Mike and James are over
to talk about doing a new
design for my bar area,

but Hudson's at this age
where he wants my full
attention all the time.

So I'm hoping that snacks
will keep him distracted.

Yummy, yummy.

Fun.

All good?

Look at that smile.

As long as
we got food, we're good?

Okay, I'm going
to talk to the boys, okay?

Oh, no. That was a no.

No?

He knows.

He knows you're going to bail.

Okay.
So we have limited time.

- Okay.
- Right.

I would love to do
like a bar area over here.

- This area over here with
the wine is not refrigerated.
- Right.

So it would be nice to have
like a wine fridge

where I can keep
the white wine and champagne.

Okay.

But then also
Brayden loves a beverage.

So, nice to have like
a beverage center
where I can put like

his pineapple juice
and waters.

And then like this
whole area built-in
with some like really

cute floating shelves
for like that boho style.

Okay.

Okay,
okay, okay, okay.

You okay? I'm right here.

What color cabinets?

I'm thinking
black or white, but what
do you think?

I think
we should do black.

Black.

Because the black island,
the black bar.

But what if we did,
on one side maybe it went up,
like a tower cabinet.

I like that.
I can use the storage.

Use the storage then
we have floating shelves.
Couple lights above.

All right.

We're going
to revamp our house, bud.

- Wow!
- So big in here.

So different.

Feels so much
more open, right?

- Yes.
- Oh, sorry!

It's okay.

Where are we going
with this stuff?

Thank you.

It's a little short table.

It's okay.
It extends.

It's not meant for you guys.

- They extend?
- Yeah.

I'm just
going to stay back.

All right.

Wow, okay,
now we've got the tall table.

- Okay!
- Wow!

- Okay.
- Table's tall.

Perfect.

So we're talking about
your guys' styles
and, Kristin,

- yours was more modern
farmhouse with some textures.
- Mmm-hmm.

And then, Eric,
yours was more, like,
modern with some color.

- Kind of little light
and bright. Yeah.
- Light and bright.

Okay.

So I think white cabinets in
here would look really nice,

really brighten up the space
and never go out of style.

Okay.

For backsplash,
you have a couple of options.

- This one has a little more
of like a rustic element.
- Mmm-hmm.

This one's a little
more modern,
it's a picket style.

No, thanks.

- No?
- No.

Right away,
you know.

- I like the shape,
but I just don't like the...
- Cheesy?

Like, it reminds
me of a bathroom.

Okay. That's easy.

I kind of think they both do.

- Oh, really?
- You don't like this one?

This one reminds you
of bathroom too?

- Yeah.
- Oh, shoot.

And then
here is a flooring.

Very, very durable.

- Okay.
- It's really nice.

The kids can do
anything on it.

It's not going to scratch.

Okay. You like that?

I thought we were going
a little bit lighter.

Oh. Well...

Do you like that?

I thought we were going
a little bit lighter.

Oh. Well...

Although I do like
maybe a gray...

- Cabinet?
- Possibly.

Well, we're just
switching it all up here.

Okay.

Are you thinking like
dark gray or light?

Probably lighter.

- Light?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Here's another option
to add a little bit of color.

I like this,
but do you think

we could do that
maybe just above the range

- and then do something else
for the rest of the kitchen?
- For sure.

- Yeah.
- To kind of bring
out his accent color?

Yes.

Yeah.

So if you did this one,
then I would go

with something, like, really
simple for the other walls.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Like a subway
and then there's different
sizes of subway too.

You can get a smaller one,
you can get one that
has texture

that kind of like
looks a little more
distressed like this.

I think the distressed
might just match better
than the super shiny.

So why don't
I get a couple more
options of subway.

Anything else you want
me to pull, that's like
this, but a little different?

I like the idea of like
a design of some sorts

- behind the range.
- Yeah.

Yeah, maybe bring
another type of design and
then we can kind of compare.

What color do you think?

- It kind of depends.
- Grays or blues?

Yeah, I guess so.

As an RN
and a fireman, I know
that Kris and Eric

are used to making
decisions on the fly.

I get how a decision like
this is different for them.

This is their dream home
and they want to make sure
they get things right.

Hi. How's it going?

Good.
How is it going with you?

Okay.

So Kristin and Eric,
they want some more options.

Just extra backsplash
or countertop or everything?

So basically everything.

They want another
cement tile,
but with some gray in it,

an option of a grey cabinet,
a little bit lighter
of a floor

and a distressed,
like, subway tile.

Okay, good.
I'll get it all together and
I'll meet you at your house.

Awesome.
Thank you so much.

Sometimes designing
a space can be a moving target

and picking materials
can't all be done in one day.

So today is round two.

I have some gray
cabinets for Eric

and some blue-ish
gray accent tiles
for above the stove.

I really hope they connect
with these new options

because I definitely want
to get this right for them.

These more distressed
subways, which we could lay
in different patterns again.

- Okay.
- Brick or chevron.

- We also have...
- Jeez!

You did bring a lot
of stuff this time.

I know. I came prepared.

Oh, I like that one.

Wow.

So James went and grabbed
all this stuff for me.

So it's very nice.

Choices.

Black one...
Yeah, lots of choices.

Okay.

Anything jumping out at you?

Okay. I think the floor
is this for sure.

Yeah, definitely.

The lighter floor?
Okay.

Absolutely.

Okay, yes.

This for sure.

- I like this a lot.
- Yeah.

I think definitely like
the more of a chevron
or a...

- Herringbone?
- Herringbone
or whatever that is. Yeah.

Love that.

I think the lighter cabinets.
I like the gray.

Yeah. It's pretty.

- You like the gray? Okay.
- Yeah.

I think I like
the darker cabinets.

The darker ones?

Yeah.

With the black.

I like black.

Would darker
go with this?

'Cause I kind of like
this backsplash.

Would darker work with that?

Yeah, that can work too.

Make sure this...

Why don't you hold it up
over there and let's just
kind of see, envision.

So this
would be like here.

Okay.

Oh, wait.
Should we try that one?

- Christina?
- Kind of like this one.

What about this one?

Oh, the one from yesterday?

The one from yesterday
could be really good I think.

You want
to compare them?

Let's compare.

Well, I like
how the distressed
kind of matches.

Right, and I love
like how the black hardware...

- Yeah.
- Yes.

I think
I love this one.

- Yeah. Agreed.
- This one's way better.

Okay, so cabinets, countertops,
floors, backsplash.

- Perfect.
- Okay.

Yay!

- Exciting.
- We got it.

- All right.
- I see big smiles.

- So we're okay?
- Oh, yeah, this is great.

This is good.

Yesterday
I know they felt defeated

and like we were never
going to find something
that they liked.

But today things just fell
into place and I'm so excited

to give them the kitchen that
they've always dreamed of.

Mike and his crew
are moving so fast
on my new bar area.

The cabinets are going
in today, followed by
the new countertops.

It's always exciting
to freshen up
my clients' spaces,

but it's also nice to give
my own house a boost too.

It feels like a fresh start.

Love the thick edge.

I know,
it matched the kitchen.

Oh, pretty.

These are your handles.

Check that out.

- It's nice.
- Oh, my gosh.
I love it.

The floating shelves.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, speaking of these,
I ended up cutting in for some
under-cabinet lighting.

Okay. I saw the wires.

Yeah, yeah.

That's really beautiful.

So you can kind of see...

So this is...

Pretty.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.
I'm so excited.

Brayden, like, cannot
wait for his beverage center
for his pineapple juice.

He had his eye on this.

Oh, nice.

So I think we have
just a few more days.

- Thank you. I love it.
- Yeah.

Okay. All right.
I'll see you later.

Back at Kristin
and Eric's house,

the kitchen cabinets
are going in, but I don't
want the space to get

too far along before
we figure out what

we're doing
in the living room.

All right.

I don't know what we want
to do with this fireplace
yet, but the one thing

we could do for sure is take
the uterus down.

Yes!

Do you want
to do the honors
or you want me to do it?

I'll do it.

I think you're probably
gonna be able to do it,
but I won't be able to.

Bye-bye, uterus.

Oh!

I mean, do you
want to...

That was easier
than I thought.

Do you want to keep it
and frame it or...

Oh, my God. Trash.

Trash, please!

- Okay. We have a couple
of options here.
- Okay.

So obviously
it's not really matching
what else we have going on.

It looks like a bit
of an eyesore

and it is the first thing
you see when you walk in.

Mmm-hmm.

So we have two options.

- I'll give you
the cheaper one first.
- Okay.

So one thing we could do
is just paint over this tile.

- We can paint it a gray
color to match the cabinets.
- Okay.

We can paint it white and then
we could just do a wood
mantel, a chunky mantel.

So get rid of this altogether,
just paint this tile
and be done with it.

But the arch would stay?

The arch would stay.
- With that. Okay.

And that would
be maybe $300.

Okay.

Or we square this off.

Actually, the firebox
is square inside.

So it would just be
squaring this part off
doing all-new tile,

which I can bring you
samples of, or we could do
the same tile

that's above the stove,
the black and white,
doing a chunky mantel.

That because
of the labor and the tile,

that option we're
probably looking at $3,000.

Okay.

So obviously
it's a big price difference.

Yeah.

What do you think
Eric would want to do?

So get rid of this altogether,
just paint this tile

and that would be maybe $300.

Or squaring this part off,
doing all-new tile,
doing a chunky mantel.

That option, we're probably
looking at $3,000.

Okay.

So obviously
it's a big price difference.

But we can't leave it.

I mean, it's like you
do the whole house
and then you leave...

Yeah.

So I want to give you
the options because, obviously,

$3,000 is a lot,
but which do I recommend?

I would recommend doing
all the tile because
no matter what,

- even painting it,
it's still gonna look dated.
- Right.

Yeah. I think we do it.

What do you
think Eric would want to do?

He's at work.

- Yeah.
- It's my choice.

I think he would
want to do it too.

Yeah, I agree.

- I totally agree.
- Right.

Yeah, it's something
that we talked about.

So, yeah, let's do it.

I have
something else to talk
to you about, too.

Okay.

This one's fun
and it's not expensive.

Okay, so this is going
to be the dining area.

Dining, okay.

- Yeah. I love a photo wall.
- Yeah.

I think it's so cute.

And I think this would be
a really nice spot to do
a bunch of family photos.

So do you happen to have
any recent photos with
you guys and the baby?

Yeah, we took some
after she was born.

Okay, perfect.

So if you could send
those to James and I
then we'll work

on doing a nice collage
and some really nice frames
for this back wall.

So I think that would look
really super cute.

- Yeah, that sounds great.
- Yeah.

How many days
is Eric at work for right now?

He just
left for three days.

So he'll be home in 96 hours.

Oh, but who's counting?

- Who's counting?
- I'm not sure.

- Hi, girls.
- Hi.

Hi.
These are nice and tall.

Yes. I was going to say.

These are a lot taller
than normal.

My hipbone's like
underneath it.

What's the normal height,
like, right here?

Yeah, yeah.
Right about that.

So I'm at the sink
and I'm like washing my hands.

I think they're perfect.

It's perfect
for you guys for sure.

I mean, if you have
a custom kitchen,
you might as well

get the height of counters
that you want.

- Right.
- Yeah.

That's the first time we've
ever done this tall, right?

Yeah. This is yeah.

We're probably
your tallest couple, too.

- It's true.
- You are.

I like it.

I brought you pull handles.

- So we can take
a look at these.
- Oh, yeah.

Nice black.

And then
do you have the faucet?

- Yeah, it came in.
- Looks good.

I think Eric will really
like the black touch too.

And we're doing
all this way, right?

Yeah.

I like that.

Yeah.

Perfect.

- Yeah.
It looks great.
- Do you like it?

- Yeah, I do.
- Okay.

So what's next? Backsplash?

Backsplash, paint, appliances
and then start cleaning up.

All right,
we're moving right along.

Yay! I'm excited.

With the downstairs
coming along so well,

we're making a few changes
to the entryway,
extending the new flooring

up the stairs and painting
the new banister white.

This is something that
Eric and Kirstin had
already budgeted for.

So it won't cost
them any extra.

But will make a huge impact
when you walk into the house.

Yeah, perfect, so pretty.

With Eric back
from the firehouse,
today I'm stopping by

with options
for the fireplace design.

Here's hoping it goes a little
smoother than choosing
materials for the kitchen.

I brought a bunch
of materials.

We have a few colors
of this one.

Right.
Want me to hold them up?

This is for the bottom
or both?

- These are all options
for the back.
- For the back.

This would
be for the hearth.

Here's another option.

So these, you said,
are they going to remain
this large

- or obviously this...
- Yeah.

Yeah, they are large.

- Okay.
- Okay.

We'll probably do
like a thick wood mantel.

Okay.

Which will be a pretty
similar color to the floor.

Which one do you like?

You want to stand
over here and look like
comparing to the kitchen?

So kind of just take
the whole space in.

- Right.
- Hold that one up.

There's that one.

Okay.

I like them. Okay.

And then
the medium-colored one.

Here's the medium.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know why I'm
having such a hard time.

There's that one.

Okay.

Okay, and then
the medium-colored one.

Here's the medium.

When Eric and Kristin
get quiet,
it's not a good sign

and I know they're under a lot
of stress right now

living in someone else's home
and I know they're tired of
making decisions,

but this reno
has to keep moving.

It's my job to guide them
and push them
in the right direction.

Another point about this
one, which could look
really nice is that

it, actually, because
you're going to build a seat.

This one on the stove
from there.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, I think
I like that one.

That's pretty.

Okay.

I just kind of
like pick up those colors.

Okay. So we're going with
this one for this back wall.

Perfect.

We're going for this
with the hearth.

It's a nice contrast with
the flooring and then
I think it'll pick up that

backsplash really nicely
and then we'll have that
chunky wood mantel

and I'll make sure that this
gets all squared up.

So it's not that arch.

- Excellent.
- Okay. Cool?

- Perfect.
- It sounds good.

All right.

Hi.

Go away!

Not yet.

The bar area at my house
is finally finished.

So I invited Cassie over
for the grand opening.

And James is so sweet.
He's staging it for me.

So I get my very
own reveal moment.

Gosh.

Not looking.
Not looking.

Mmm-hmm.

- Hi.
- Hi!

- Hi, Cash.
- How's it going?

Good.

So we can't go
in there yet because
James is, you know,

getting all dialed, like,
he likes to do.

So we have to wait.

Okay. I'm waiting.

Ladies!

Hi, James.
How are you?

- Hi, sweetie.
- How are you?

Good to see you.

- All right.
- Are you ready?

Can't wait
to see what you've done.

- Come on.
- I love...

I get to have a James
reveal right now.

- You do.
- That's exciting.

Everyone gets one.
You need one too.

Oh, my gosh!

- There it is
- Oh, I love it!

What do you think?

Oh, it's beautiful.

- It's nice, isn't it?
- There's snacks...

Every little detail.
And look Mike's guys

did such a good job
with under-cabinet lighting.

I love the lighting.

- You know what I love.
- Right?

That's Brayden's
beverage center.

Oh, that's perfect.

Yeah. It's full
of waters and juices.

Oh, I love it.

- You got the wine.
- This is for mom.

I think I still
have some room in my house
if we want to recreate this.

- Right.
- Why not?

This is beautiful.

I mean this was just
such an empty space
and you really tran--

It's like it's been
here the whole time.

Having a bar
area where I'm literally
going to constantly

use everything
is a game-changer.

Thank you.

I appreciate you so much.

You're welcome.

This bar area
is so much more than just
a place to grab a drink.

It's about moving on and
letting go and doing it
with the very best of friends.

Okay. Just a little
something for you.

Oh, just something
you whipped up?

- Oh!
- I totally whipped it up.

Oh, okay, James.

You trying to take my job?

I'm trying.

It's beautiful.

You're like
the Queen and King
of charcuterie.

Queen and King.

I approve of
this and our favorite.

Which I love.

You know that
Cassie and I have been
drinking this champagne

since we were, what, 22?

Yeah.

Since we could
afford one bottle of it.

Before we used to drink
$2-a-bottle champagne.

Look at us now.

I don't wanna
replace anything--

Wow!

Here,
don't waste it all.

Get in there.

There are some nice glasses.

These are beautiful.

I'm going to register
for these ones.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Oh, speaking
of registering.

I know.
You heard the news.

We have so much to
do for the wedding.

I heard the news
and I could not be happier.

But I need to meet
your Chef James.

- Oh, my God.
- James Number Two.

James Number Two.

Chef James is always working.

I have so much stuff
to go over with you already.

Okay.
Have you found your dress?

Oh, no.

We need to do that soon.

Yes.
So let's have lunch next week.

Perfect.

Bring everything
you have because
I want to see all of it.

- Okay.
- And when you start
dialing things in.

I want it to be magical.

Perfect. Cheers
to new beginnings.

- Yes.
- Absolutely.

New bars. New men.
New friends.

Amen.

Exactly. Cheers.

Eric and Kristin
decided to do their
downstairs powder room

on their own to save
money, but apparently
they've run into some issues.

So she asked me and Mike
to stop by today
to check it out.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- How's it going?
- Good.
How are you?

- Thanks for coming.
- Good.

We have a little
bit of a problem.

So come with me.

Normally,
that's my line.

Yeah, that's Mike's line.

We have
a little bit of a problem.

So, come with me.

Normally,
that's my line.

Yeah, that's Mike's line.

So, we decided
because we were going
to do the flooring like

we talked about, Mike,
here in the bathroom.

We decided
to kind of take this on
a little bit on our own.

We kind of got ahead
of ourselves I think.

What's happened in here?

We got a vanity here
and then we decided to get

a new door because
the door was just so old.

And you picked plywood?

Of course.

It's rustic
It's rustic.

So we ordered this.

We got a door.
We just tried to put it in.
It doesn't fit.

So now we had to close
it up with plywood,
for the meantime,

because we have
no door to our home.

So we're at a standstill.

Like where how do we get
a door that would fit here.

You got this.

You want to measure
that thing?

Yeah, let me see here.
All right.

What's the standard size?

30 and, yes, it's too small.

So you're going
to need a 28.

So you need a door two inches
smaller, so it'd be custom.

Oh.

How much is a custom
door like that?

Probably around 500 bucks.

Okay.

Well...

Something you
got to do at this point.

- Yeah.
- We can't live
with plywood.

Okay. While we're talking
about doors, actually
something I was thinking

is doing a nice barn door here
that we have some separation
to this room.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

How much
are we looking at for that?

Hmm. Maybe 500 bucks
with the hardware.

Okay.

Yeah?

Yeah, that would
look really good.

Okay. Cool.

- Perfect.
- Easy.

Sounds good.
Thanks, guys.

All right.

It's been
four long months,

but Eric and Kristin's
house is finally ready.

James and I are staging
the house and I can't
wait to see the reaction.

So what's
going on with you?

I'm actually headed
to the mountains.

When?

Today.

Oh, how fun.

And I'm actually
taking Tarek's mom.

- And...
- Oh, really?

Yeah. So...

That's pretty amazing.

Yeah, she's fun.

I like that.

I had to ask
Tarek if I could borrow
her and he said yes.

Are you happy
with your bar?

- Yes.
- It turned out nice, huh?

Oh, my gosh, I love it.

I had Shannon over
the other night
and I was pouring cocktails

and it's so cute
and so much more functional.

It's so you, too.

Yes.

That's what
that room needed.

I feel like
I like changed
the whole house.

And Brayden
has his own refrigerator.

Oh, yeah.

If I put sparkling water
in there, he moves
it into the wine fridge.

Put this one up top.

These are so great.

Right?

This is like one
of my favorite things
I have in my house.

I feel like it
just personalizes
the space so much.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Come on.

Now it's not...

You're a mess.

You guys have
been living at your
parents' house

for a couple of months
and I'm sure everyone's
ready for you guys

to move back home.

- So excited.
- Yes.

- You ready?
- Yes.

Okay.

Welcome home.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Wow!

Jeez! This is nice.

Oh, my gosh.

Doesn't look like
the same house, does it?

- No.
- No. Not at all.

Look at the fireplace.

Gosh, Christina!

Right?

Wow.
Good, good decision on that.

Awesome.

I'm so glad
that you guys decided
to spend the extra money

and do the fireplace because
I feel like if you wouldn't
have done it,

it would have been
one of those things that
you look back on

and you were like
"I really wish we did that."

- Yes, I agree.
- Yes.

And this room
itself, which is such a big
transformation because

again we got rid of that
big archway and I feel
like it felt so enclosed.

And now it's just wide open.

We had the built-ins.

- So we took those out.
- Oh, yeah.

- Yes.
- I forgot
about those.

And that
opens that out too.

Yeah, this tile
looks beautiful
and I love the way

that ties
into the backsplash.

I mean look at that kitchen.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Jeez.

This is unreal.

Oh, wow.

Do you remember
what it was before?

How tiny it was?

Barely.

- Not really.
- This was actually--

This was a room.

The dining room.

Yeah, it was,
and there was a door.

This was all blocked off.

Oh, my gosh.

- Yeah.
- Two walls there.

Layout's amazing.

Being able to see from
the slider all the way
to the TV, you know,

with that wall out,
I did not realize it would be
that much difference.

It's as good
as it could get.

Not only
is it beautiful, but
it's so much bigger.

It's like triple the size.

It's way bigger.

Triple and functional.

- Right?
- Yes.

Efficient, you can get
from the stove,
the dishwasher,

the refrigerator
and everything.

And look how
tall our counters are.

Custom kitchen.

I know.

So much better.

They are even
tall enough for you
or maybe too tall.

Perfect height for you guys.

It's the first time we've
never done it this tall,
but it looks great.

Yes.

And this was
your guys' idea to put
the refrigerator right here

and I think that
was such a great decision.

That was his idea.

I do like that
idea actually, yeah,
we initially thought

over there, but I thought
that would be just this
separates a little bit more.

It's closer to the stove
in here, so.

So I'm glad
we had the pantry space

and we're able to incorporate
that and, actually,

Mike added a little door
around the corner for you.

So you still have
some storage.

- Perfect.
- Oh, nice.

So what I love about
this kitchen is I feel like

it really definitely reflects
both your guys' styles.

Yes.

A modern
farmhouse with the modern
elements and the color scheme

and everything.

I agree.

I like the kind
of squared-off handles,
the darker cabinets.

My farmhouse
sink over there.

Yeah,
your farmhouse sink,
even the back with the rustic,

kind of, tile,
I think, fits in.

And the cabinet color.

I know you guys didn't want to
go with just basic white.

I'm glad we...

It really
turned out really well.

Plus, like
the fact that we went
with the lighter flooring

that has more
of the farmhouse element.

I think plays
so nicely off the gray.

It was the old hardwood.

This is like a dream.

We carry
the farmhouse vibe through
the entire space

by adding the rustic barn
door to the entrance
of the powder bathroom.

And I'm so happy we
could help them finish
up their DIY bathroom.

It looks great.

And then just directly
open to this dining
room, which I love.

Wow.

And your photo wall.

And what's behind?

Oh, my gosh.

Jeez.

Oh, how sweet.

All the little babies.

Right,
just taking a blank
wall, that could just

be random photos and
your beautiful family photos.

- So cute too.
It's making me cry.
- Oh!

That's really sweet.

Those are very nice.

I love that they're
in the dining room too.

So when you guys
are having like just awesome
family dinners,

you look back
and all the memories.

- That's great.
- Awesome.

You are going to cry.

I was really,
I was crying.

I'm not making it up.

You guys are unbelievable.

Thank you.

This was a very
good experience.

It was a pleasure.

Well, enjoy it.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- Oh, my gosh.

Hope the kids
love it and they run around
and just have so much fun.

- Yes.
- Really good.

Very nice.

Kristin was
very helpful during
my delivery of Hudson.

So I was so happy
to return the favor.

Peek-a-boo!

And the fact
that we were able to help
them make it their own

is the whole reason
why I do what I do.

Cookies!

Cookies.

You want this one?
