[Drew] From '90s
big screen classic

True Romance

to modern day
thriller Severance,

Academy and Emmy Award winner
Patricia Arquette

has been a force in Hollywood
for over 30 years.

But when
she's not in the spotlight...

-Hello!
-I'm so stoked!

How you doing?

...Patricia loves to shine it
on superstars in her own life.

I love Liz so much.
She's one of the most
incredible people.

[Drew] Liz has not only been
a friend to Patricia

and her family
for almost 30 years,

but after Patricia's mom
passed away,

Liz became
like a mother to her.

She's just a really
incredible woman.

[Drew] Liz has a zest
for life.

And even now in her 80s,

Liz loves her home
and her independence.

[Patricia] She loves plants,
she loves flowers,

and she's an incredible cook.

She wants to do her own thing,
not be a burden on anyone.

[Drew] But her kitchen
and laundry room

aren't set up to give
her that freedom.

Do you think that Liz could
ever get anything out of

-a lot of these cabinets?
-[Patricia] No!

I feel like in our culture
we don't really celebrate
our elders.

We don't make safe spaces
for them.

[yells]

[Drew] So Patricia's
going all in...

[Drew] Nice!

...to create a Liz-inspired...

If we can create something
that gives her
a bit of an homage

to Venezuela
and what she loves...

...age-in-place suite...

The counters are almost
two inches lower to make it
more convenient for her.

...to honor
an amazing woman...

[Patricia] Are you ready?

...and special friend.

[Liz] Oh, my God, Patricia.

[upbeat music playing]

[Drew] Patricia Arquette.

She is definitely an icon.

I love the range
of what she can do.

She can play the darkest
of characters.

Like something really scary.

Like True Romance.

And then she can be this
fun-loving comedic character.

[Drew] She's won 53 awards
and been nominated 78 times.

An Oscar, Emmys,
Golden Globes.

I don't think
she's won a Grammy.

-You know?
-Give her time.

-Give her some time.
-Exactly, what can't she do?

[phone ringing]

That's Patricia calling.

Hello.

[Patricia] Hey,
you guys close?

[Jonathan] Yup.
We'll be there soon.

All right. The door's open.
Come right in.

All right. Bye.

-[Drew] This is
it here, right?
-[Jonathan] Yes.

[Jonathan] She said just come
right in the front.

It's a cool building.

Hello?

-[Patricia] Hey.
-Hey!

-What's happening?
-I'm so stoked!

-How you doing?
-Oh, my God, I'm so thrilled.

-Oh, they're here.
-Hey, wait!
What are you doing?

-You doing the dishes?
-You know what?
I never stop working.

You're probably the busiest
actor in Hollywood.

Nonstop! Go, go, go!

And when you're not working,
you're helping other people
clean their dishes.

But you are helping
so many people,
and I love Liz so much.

I'm so grateful
that you're doing this.

She's one of the most
incredible people.

My mom and Liz
were good friends.

And then when my mom
was passing away from cancer,

I was living at my mom's house
to take care of her.

And Liz would come by
every day and check on me
and check on my mom

and we'd sit
in the garden and talk.

And then,
when my mom passed away,

and I got pregnant
with my daughter,

she really stepped in
and became like

a surrogate grandmother
to my daughter.

And that was so beautiful

because I was really
missing my mom

and missing that

grandparent-type
of wisdom and love
that they give.

My daughter
calls her Abuela Liz.

Liz lived in South America
and she started a school.

And she helped
all these children

and all of these single moms

that she's helped
raise their kids

and helped teach kids
with special needs.

I think there's many,
many, many kids that
call her Abuela Liz.

It's really such a treasure
to have someone in your life

that can share
with you their wisdom

when you're having difficult
moments in your life,

when you're at a crossroads.

She's just a really
incredible woman
and so independent.

She loves to create
beautiful meals
for people around

and deliver them to people
when they're sick.

It's very much a part
of who she is

as a person, as a nurturer.

And it's really
a dream come true

to be able to give back to her

and honor her wishes of how
she wants to live her life.

To make it as easy
and beautiful
for her as possible.

This is such
a beautiful thing.

I can't wait to meet her.

She sounds like
the most amazing person

and she's given everything
to everyone else,

and I feel like she's someone

who would never ask
for any of this for herself.

So for you to come in here
and do this for her
is pretty amazing.

She's just a treasure
of a human being,
and I love her so much.

Liz is fiercely independent.

She wants to do her own thing.

Not be a burden on anyone.

You've got to respect that
to give her this space

and have it much more
accessible for her

so she can be in her own home,
in her own power.

That's such a beautiful thing
to be a part of.

I'm just so grateful you guys
are doing this for her.

-Oh, yes.
-Well, no--

-You're doing it
with us, so, yeah.
-Yeah.

Come on. Give me a hammer.

I feel like you're already
wearing the pants.

-You're ready to get dirty.
-That's right.

I got my boots on.

I'm ready to kick down a wall,
I'll do whatever.

So tell us about Liz
and what you're thinking.

[Patricia] Liz loves to cook,
and she's an incredible cook.

And at the end of this,
we got to come back

and have her cook
an incredible Indian dinner.

Yes, please.

So the functionality,
maybe this is a little,

you know, high for her.

Having a space
designed for somebody
with mobility issues

or somebody who's getting
a little older in age,

there are very
different solutions.

Think about this.

Do you think that Liz
could ever get anything
out of a lot of

-a lot of these cabinets?
-No!

[Patricia] She's not
the tallest person on earth.

To get into those cabinets
is impossible.

This washer and drier
in this area over here.

To have laundry that's easy
for her to pull out,

to put her hamper up
so she doesn't
have to stoop over.

She likes to do
all these things for herself.

Yikes.

There's a illegal, illegal
electrical work done here.

You can't have
a panel set up like that.

-We want to check
that out, too.
-All right.

Yeah. I mean, obviously,

we want everything
to look nice,

but we want everything
to be safe as well.

Does she not use a dishwasher?

She doesn't have
a dishwasher, yeah.

-I don't know what happened--
-[Drew] Yeah, we can...

I mean, that's the thing.
Whatever she needs
for function, we can add it.

-That's so great.
-[Jonathan] Is this what
you're feeling then?

The main focus for her
would be kitchen,

this eating area and laundry?

[Patricia] That
would be great, yeah.

Like these drawers
are just kind of falling off.

And these things are sagging.

You mentioned
countertop height.

-Yeah--
-We can actually install
the counters lower.

[Patricia] Yeah,
it would be great.

[Jonathan] Everything here
could be redone

so that it works better
for someone

who doesn't quite
have the mobility
they may have had years ago.

We want to give her a kitchen
that actually works for her.

We could even have some
pull down shelves

from the upper shelves
so that she can actually

bring them down
to a height she can reach.

[Patricia sighs]
That'd be incredible.

I think it'll be nice
to give Liz a little bit
of her freedom back.

The house right now
is fighting her.

And it shouldn't.

She wants to be independent.

You know, she's like,

"You know, baby.

"No, no. I don't want
everyone taking care of me."

You know? She's a matriarch.

And even thinking
of our parents too,

I know they like
to be in their space.

[Drew] Well, if you've been
a strong, independent person
your whole life,

nothing is worse
than being told,

no, you now have to
move into a home

or somewhere
where you're taken care of

by somebody else
and not feel independent.

And I feel like
in our culture,

we don't
really celebrate our elders.

We don't make
safe spaces for them.

This is, I think,
just a more beautiful way

to provide her with some ease.

There are a couple
of dead zones over here,

some of it naturally, I think,
could be storage.

-[Patricia] Mm-hmm.
-But she's got a dining table.

Would she need
the eating kitchen,

or what would you say
she would choose?

I think it would be
nice if she could...

She loves plants,

she loves flowers,
she loves growing things.

If there would be
some kind of way
to incorporate that

and also a place where
she could watch the news.

She's very political.

She's very invested
in the world and community
and what's happening.

There's definitely
a way to do that.

[Drew] And I'm sure
you probably know
some of Liz's style.

We want to make sure
it's her style.

Does she like color,
or does she love
certain materials?

[Patricia] She loves her decor
and she's very organized.

And also, she loves art.

You know,
she's an artistic person.

She's chic.

I think if we consider
shelling this,
take it all out,

put in some beautiful stone,

put in brand new appliances,
even though it's small,

we could make this
the chicest kitchen ever.

[Patricia] That'll be great.

[Jonathan] A space that
celebrates Liz's love

of cooking and color
is what we want.

So we'll start down low

with beautiful
honed marble flooring,

elegant to the eye,
but durable.

Then we'll create
age-in-place accessibility
throughout,

starting with reduced-height
cabinets for easier reach,

a counter-mounted pot filler
at the range

and custom
pull-out spice jar racks.

Style will add to function
with sophisticated
quartz countertops

and matching backsplash.

We'll span an entire wall
with custom pantry cabinets
and open shelves

to display collectibles
from Liz's travels,

as well as a mounted TV,

so she can stay
informed and entertained

as she dines at her cozy
new breakfast table

that will feature
a chic indoor garden
for her beloved plants.

Finally, we'll make
the laundry room brighter
with custom cabinets

and the laundry chore easier

with a handy-height
frontload washer and dryer,

and custom pull-outs
for Liz's laundry baskets.

How long do you think Liz
will have to be out of here?

Probably about a month.

-What? How long?
-A month?

Okay, so here's the problem.

She's staying with friends
and family for three weeks.

-Okay.
-Oh, she's out of town?

Yeah, and she doesn't know.

This is, you know, doable.

-Yeah, I think...
It's a small kitchen.
-Three weeks.

We're not really
moving plumbing.

Let's just kick it up a notch.

Unless we come across,
like, crazy structural
or like the electrical,

-there's definitely--
-Ye of little faith. Come on!

-All right.
-Are you strong?

Stronger than a bull.

[laughs]

-Oh, whoa!
-Oh, man!

-She actually beat him there!
-[laughing]

[vocalizes upbeat music]

Let's move all of that
might and strength
into demolishing this kitchen.

-Let's do it.
-So we'll clear everything out

and then we can
come back maybe tomorrow

and start to rip this apart.

-Yeah, I can't wait.
-This is gonna be so good.

-[Jonathan] Exciting.
-Whoo-hoo!

She's gonna love it
and it's gonna feel like her

and she'll be in her space,
and it will change her life.

[upbeat music playing]

[Patricia]
You guys have belts.
I don't have anything.

-You want the belt?
-I do. I mean--

-All right.
-[Patricia] I need my props.

-Yep.
-Okay, here we go.

[Jonathan] Now you look
like a real pro.

It's like on
the very last rung.

I don't know what
that says about me.

I guess I am, like,
100 pounds more than she is.

-Hey, get away!
-Watch your fingers.

-I'm gonna back up.
-Mazel tov!

-[Drew] Oh, wow.
-[Jonathan] One more.

-Amazing.
-Yeah!

-Kick it.
-[Patricia] I love demo.

I have done some demo before.

[Jonathan] Nice!

And I think
it's a really great way
to get out aggression.

Well done. I don't think
we're needed here, Jonathan.

Why don't you boys
go have a iced tea?

I'm gonna hit this thing.

-Oh, my gosh.
-My gosh.

You don't waste any time.

I love transformation.

[laughing]

Taking something apart
that no longer works...

and building something that
will work better in your life

is so powerful.

We're making
quite short work of this.

Oh! The kid's got it.

Why is it literally everything
you're hitting is a one hit?
I don't get it.

I'm a one-hit wonder, baby.
What can I say?

[Drew] I'm pretty sure
you're more than
a one-hit wonder.

-Good job.
-[Drew and Jonathan] Nice.

-[Drew] Go again.
-Nice!

Okay. And then, here we go.

[Patricia] Wow, guys!

[Drew] I love that
Patricia just pulls

whatever inspiration
from whatever characters

and she basically, like,
one-kicks and one-hammers
this kitchen.

It's crumbling under
our death grips.

-What is happening here?
-Sorry.

What did I ever do to you?

-[Jonathan] Hey.
Hey, you guys.
-[Drew] Yo.

We have craziness here.

This was not done
by a professional.

I'm literally
just touching the circuit,

-that's short circuiting.
-That's scary.

In this house, the meter
is up above the panel,

and you can see exposed wires
coming down to the panel.

Totally illegal.

It actually looks like,
I don't know
what's preventing it,

but it looks like
the panel door
could be electrified

-because it's--
-Oh, my God!

The actual wire
has ruptured through.

So if Liz came by here
at some point

and just touched
or even came close to this,

it could zap her.

Oh, my God,
that's really scary.

Uh, aside from the electrical,
another issue,

there are ants all over here,

so there's definitely
an infestation.

I bet you it's inside,
underneath.

Yeah. I bet you they're
living within the cabinet.

[Drew] Yeah. Look at that.

[Patricia] Whoa!
I didn't even know
they could live in the grout.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-What do you do?

If we bring in an exterminator
we can use natural products.

So we're not using chemicals.

I mean, we need to fix this.

That's why sometimes
it's better to just
tear it all out.

[Drew] Yeah,
we'll take care of this.

The electrical system
is dangerous.

The ants, it's not healthy,
it's not safe for her.

So it'll be really
nice for her

to just have this very clean,
beautiful, safe space.

-[Drew] Nice.
-[Patricia] Yeah.

Yeah!

[upbeat music playing]

[Drew] Before we could rip
this place down to the studs,

I called in a few favors

and had exterminators
in and out of here in one day.

So with no more
unwanted guests,

we're picking up the pace
to get this space cleared

and get the schedule
back on track.

[Jonathan] Make no mistake.
This is a small place,

but this is no easy task
to get it done in three weeks,

since there are so many
issues to address.

There's a ton of
lath and plaster
we need to rip out.

The floors need to be leveled.

Basically, we are maximizing
every square foot
of space in here

to make sure it's accessible
for Liz to age in place.

But the electrical panel
is a bit of a problem,

and we need to figure that out

to see if there's a major
issue that could delay us.

So while our electrician
figures out

exactly what we need to do

with the panel
and the wiring...

Okay...

...Patricia and I are
retreating to Liz's garden.

-I feel like we're having
a little picnic back here.
-Whoo-hoo!

Instead of lemonade
and the sandwiches

I brought tile samples,
palettes.

Ooh, yeah.
Let's see what you got.

Even more enjoyable.

[Patricia] Ooh, I like
this palette already.

You have mentioned
several times

how worldly a traveler Liz is,

and that she also is like
a very elegant woman.

I feel like the kitchen
has to represent that.

-I agree.
-Nothing boring,
something with color.

No. She grew up wearing
these beautiful saris
of different colors,

you know, bringing
her culture on her body.

Liz is not
a cookie-cutter person.

She doesn't, like,
fit into that mold.

And she's not swayed by
what's popular right now

or what's trendy or anything.

This kind of palette,
of these kind of warm,
earthy colors,

I think really feels
very Liz to me.

Oh, nice. So you lean
into this a little more

-than, you know, something
that's a bit too bright?
-Yeah.

-Would you want to have
wood tones incorporated--
-Definitely.

Because there's something
very earthy about Liz
and very natural.

I think also, in a space,

I think you can really bring
out somebody's personality.

Imagine the cabinets
in this burgundy color range,

and then you can see if we--

That's really sexy
and gorgeous.

What would you think
about stone with that?

You know,
usually kitchens from,
like the '20s and the '30s,

they had these ledges
on either side of the range.

You can see, actually, here,
I did kind of a drawing.

-Mm-hmm.
-We could kind of,
like, mimic that.

I like that you're bringing
that historical back in.

There's those
beautiful touches
that people used to take,

and she's like that.

Liz comes
from an era where there was
way more attention to detail,

like handcrafted mill work
and natural stone.

So using these materials
also respects the age
of her 1920s home.

Would you want
to then lighten it up

or keep it
a little bit dark and moody?

There's something nice
about the light stone.

I think I would lean
this way as well

-'cause it isn't a huge space.
-Yeah.

So allowing the light
to bounce around a little
bit more would be good.

You can
start to see our palette
kind of come together here.

[Patricia] This paint
that's very natural,

not super shiny,
not super modern

for someone
who is an original like Liz,

it's much more in keeping.

[Jonathan]
I think we can introduce
some pattern on the floor.

I was thinking of maybe
doing limestone

with a little bit
of a marble detail

and then sort of
alternating it.

So here's my concern
about this.

This feels very hard,
and I'm feeling like

if she loses any of
her balance or anything,

I'm really worried about her
falling and breaking bones

-or hitting her head or...
-Okay.

As we get older,
balance becomes
an issue sometimes.

So let's just kind of
try to problem solve
for things in the future.

And even actually,
if you drop, you know,

a jar or something like that,

-if you drop right onto
solid tile, it will shatter.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Whereas if you drop
onto hardwood

or, like, a luxury vinyl
or something like that,

usually it won't shatter.

We want something
that's durable,

so we're gonna try
and source something

that has the same
beautiful aesthetic,

but something that's
maybe a little softer.

When it comes to some of
our fabrics and stuff, too,

I think once we kind of
pull things together,

we can decide
what direction we want to go.

We could do something
that's just like a really nice
creamy neutral.

[Patricia] It feels
like earth, almost, like,
in earth palettes.

Many of these things,
in the wood.

-Is this too dark?
-No.

But I was really happy
about the kind of texture
that he came to the table with

that I felt like
he really understood
and was honoring Liz.

-I feel like you've really
captured Liz here.
-Amazing.

[upbeat music playing]

[Drew] Time is tight,

so our team isn't wasting
a single second.

Plumbing lines are being
updated for the new sink
and laundry room,

while the framers have
sealed off all the points
of entry for pests.

But more importantly,
our electrician said
he has great news.

We can relocate
and upgrade the panel

and pass inspection
within our extremely tight
three-week schedule.

So with the new panel
in place,

the electricians
are busy outside

relocating the service
from the city to the house.

Back inside, the insulation
and drywall can get started.

And since we
have to maximize efficiency
with our tight timeline...

Okay, that should be good.

-Have you ever
done routering before?
-No, I never have.

...Patricia and I are doing
a little mill work out back

to add a little bit of chic
character to the space.

Go forward, yeah.

We have this beautiful
cladding detail.

It's custom that
we're doing up on the wall,

and Patricia is full hands-on
getting this done.

The magic.

You got it.

[Patricia] I love
to make things myself.

I love the history
of craftsmanship,

and that adds some
of the old-school quality

where, obviously, it's easier

to just go and buy
stuff off the shelf.

But those little touches,
I think,

make things
so much more personal.

Perfect.

When Liz is in that kitchen,

she'll feel those
personal little touches.

[blows air]

Any sort of wood cladding,

something low profile
like this,

it's just adding
a little bit more depth
to the wall.

We'll also paint this out
to match the cabinets

with that bold burgundy
that you said she would love.

And by the way,
over behind the range,

we're gonna have
a slab backsplash
with a little detail,

and then we'll have this
up above that, too.

So will it be treated
with something

so that if spaghetti sauce
or oil splatters...

Absolutely.
We'll have a sealant on it.

So any kind of splatter,
you can wipe it off.

And that's also why we have
the stone that comes up

the majority
of the way behind.

Okay, great.

[Patricia] And I'm so grateful
to be able to be a part

of making this happen for her.

This beautiful surprise.

When I go in there
and we have tea,

I'll be able to look at that
and say,

"Ooh, I was able
to help with that."

-There we go.
-Look at this.

-This is amazing.
-In a matter of no time,

this kitchen is gonna have
so much style.

Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

[Drew] It's the beginning
of week two already,

and with no room to slow down,

the flooring team was in
at the crack of dawn

to get the hardwood installed

before the rest
of the build team arrives.

Patricia made a great point

that tile would likely
be too hard for Liz,

especially if she ever
lost her balance.

So we chose a flooring
with a little bit of give.

Engineered hardwood.
It's the perfect solution.

Not only is it durable,

but it adds more
of that earthy tone warmth

that Patricia says
Liz will love.

And with the floors down,

you and I are tagging in
to install some of our
custom cabinets.

Ready for another cabinet?

Yeah, right. Let me
just get this door on.

[Jonathan] As you get older,

your needs
in a kitchen change.

-Is this in the middle?
-Yeah.

And I think her needs
are accessibility.

So we're gonna install
a pot pillar right
next to the range.

Definitely for somebody
who's aging in place,
we want to make sure that

they don't have to
carry a heavy pot over
to fill it up.

The accessibility for Liz
in this kitchen
is so much better.

Let's slide this in
and see if it works
with that guy.

Should we get
all the way over here,

and then this is the one
that do you line
whole thing with.

[Drew exclaims]

Put a little filler between
each cabinet.

It's so tricky,
like, trying to get

as much storage as possible.

But I didn't want to have
a real leg banger over here.

I think that's nice, though,
because you still get...

Yeah, 33 inches of clearance.

-Yeah, it's good.
-I think that's fine.

[groans] Okay,
some drawers here.

-This will be the right one.
-All right.

-See if we can slide it in.
-So...

This is the...

[exclaims softly]

Oh, my gosh, I love that.

That's great.

I like that on the front,
it's gonna look
like multiple drawers,

like everything else,
but it operates as one.

This is so much
more functional.

This is what we have
in our kitchen, too,

for spices
or even for utensils.

And we won't paint that.
We'll keep that
the natural wood.

-And then we'll paint
everything else.
-Yeah.

You have more surprises.

Another one. This is for
all the kitchen tools.

-We're cramming a lot
into a small kitchen.
-Yeah.

This is gonna have
the right amount of storage.
It's just her.

She wants it
to be comfortable.

She wants to make life easy.

I like that this is
as custom as it gets.

[grunts]

Everything was able to be
just a little bit lower

more comfortable,
which makes sense.

We've dropped the height
of the counters down

so it's easier for Liz
to access everything.

Normally, tall guys

wouldn't want to have

low counters like this.

-No.
-But just that

couple of inch difference
is gonna make life easier.

We're not lowering
the cabinets to something

-that's unfunctional
for anyone else.
-Yeah, just that much.

There's a range
where you can have
your countertops.

We're just bringing
it down two inches.

But I love the cutting board.

You pull here,
you tuck it away.

Use the drawer. Oh, no,
you need to cut something?

Let's get
the cutting board out.

It's gonna blow Liz's mind.

And also, I know that Liz
doesn't want to have
a modern design.

She likes something
that feels a little bit...

you know, there's a little bit
of an old world to it.

There's something
that has a little bit
of an eclectic feel.

The color of the cabinets
is key to achieving

that eclectic old world feel
that we're after.

[Drew] Now, Patricia
loved the idea of painting
the cabinets burgundy,

but how dark we go
with that burgundy
is the real question mark.

-[Patricia] Hello!
-Hey.

So I need her to sign off
on what she thinks
Liz will love best.

How are you? Wow,
look at the vibrant color,
and I love the shirt.

That's right.

This reminds me
of where she loves textiles,
her bright colors.

I love it. Well,
we can get right into it.

So the big thing is the color
for these cabinets.

We have three options
in that burgundy feel.

A darker option, a mid tone,

and then here
we have something
a little bit lighter.

I like this mid tone, I think.

-I feel like the darker one
would be too dark.
-That?

I was feeling the same way.

I think that mid tone
is really nice,

and it still brings out
vibrance and fun that
we know Liz would love.

I've seen a lot of pieces
that she's collected.

You know, she lived
in Venezuela and India
and all over,

like some of the old rugs
that she has

has that kind of tone in it,

of that mid range
and I really like that.

Okay. This is a pretty
bold color in the kitchen,

but the countertops,
it'll actually tone it
down a little bit

and just make it feel custom
to her and beautiful.

And then we can find...
we have floating shelves

that are
wood floating shelves.

We can find a few other pieces
to pop on the shelves.

Oh, that'd be great.
I love floating shelves

and, you know, she loves
pottery and she loves,

you know, different kinds
of artisan things.

Okay, here's a question,
since she doesn't travel
as much anymore,

where would you say
is one of her

absolute favorite places
she's ever been?

Well, she talks a lot
about her time in Venezuela

as a very happy time.

Maybe I can find someone
who does pottery

and I can find some pieces

that feel like they're
authentic to Venezuela.

Oh, that would be so great.

She would love that.

Like, supporting local artists

and their expression
of life and love,

I think feels so much
like Liz to me.

So yeah. What would you
like for the pottery?

Any kind of a look?

You know she really
loves her garden

and she loves gardening
and flowers

and things like that,

so that could be
really beautiful, I think.

Sure, yeah. We'll find a way
to incorporate that.

If we can make these pieces
look completely artisanal

and something
that really speaks
to her love of Venezuela,

I think she would love it.

I'm so, so, so excited.
I want to see it!

All right,
I'll talk to you soon. Bye.

[upbeat music playing]

[Jonathan] We're at the end
of the second week

and thankfully,
everything is right on track.

There were a few bumps
along the way,
like the electrical,

even the extermination,
and that could have
delayed us,

but we were able to
sort those out quickly

and stay on schedule.

[Drew] The kitchen cabinets
are installed.

We're just adding
some final mill work details,

including this beadboard
Patricia and I made by hand.

To be totally honest,
Patricia pretty much
did the whole thing.

I didn't really do much of it.

Are you even needed
here anymore?

That's the thing.
I don't know if I am.

[Jonathan] All right.

All right. A little
to the right here.

[Jonathan] This will be
the perfect nook for her TV

as well as a ton of storage.

And I think
it's these little details

that are making the most
out of Liz's tight space.

[Drew] And while our team
is busy prepping
the cabinets for paint,

we've got to finish up
some work in that
dark laundry room.

[Jonathan] Yeah.

What a difference
not having all that
safety hazard right here.

Almost half
of the circuits in here
were not wired properly.

This will all be gone.
It's temporary.

Our new panel's right here.

Changing out
the electrical panel,

getting rid
of all of those issues,

this is going to be
a house that's safe,

and she's not going to have
all those flickering
circuits anymore.

Knowing that Liz
has cataracts,

you want as much
light as possible,

so having all the natural
light pouring in here,

it'll make it easier
for her to function.

Oh, did I tell you
that we've got the shelves
for the upper cabinets?

They come all the way down.

Yes. Perfect.
I know you were
talking about that.

We also raised
the washer-dryer up.

So they're gonna be
right at her height.

Easy. She doesn't have to
bend over at all.

So everything in here

is going to be
clean and bright and easy.

Over the years,
we've had to adapt
our parents' home

just to make it safer
and more functional for them.

-[Drew grunting]
-Are you gonna fit?

So it was very important
for us to make Liz's home
not only beautiful,

but practical
and extremely accessible.

[Drew] This is
a tight squeeze.

[Jonathan] And these solutions
will work for anybody

with mobility issues,
young or old.

Or anyone who just
wants to make

a small space like this
work more efficiently.

This is called cabineting
yourself into a corner.

All right, so Liz
can't bend all the way down
for a washer-dryer.

So this gives her nice height.

So this...
This is my favorite part.

Just a drawer that comes out.

It's just a surface
to put her basket on.

[Drew] I absolutely love this.

How cool is that?

From that platform surface
to where the door swings out

is just enough room
for a hamper.

-Okay. Perfect.
-So that makes
everything so easy.

Two drawers,
twice the storage,
two shelves.

This is a small spot.

So we wanna make sure
it stays nice and light.

-Just white cabinets here
are gonna be great.
-Yeah.

[Drew] Painting these cabinets
in place is gonna give them
a seamless finish,

making them feel
more like furniture

and really enhance
the old world charm.

[Jonathan] In order
to get the color
Patricia chose perfect,

it's gonna take
a coat of primer

and at least
two coats of paint.

[Drew] And while
we give that paint
some time to dry,

I'm gonna go on a little
field trip to find those
artistic additions

that we know
will make this space
even more special for Liz.

Liz is this amazing,
worldly traveler,

and she's always
supported local artists
no matter where she is.

And Patricia and I agree
that some artwork for Liz

will personalize
this space even more.

So I contacted
a local artist here in LA.

-Hey.
-Hey, you made it.

[Drew] How's it going?

Elizabeth is incredibly
skilled with clay,

so I'd love her
to craft something

that celebrates Liz
and her new kitchen.

Patricia says that Liz
absolutely loves Venezuela.

She lived there for 11 years,

and if we can create something

that gives her a bit of
an homage to Venezuela
and what she loves...

-[Elizabeth] Beautiful.
-Yeah.

I did a little research

and discovered
that Venezuela's
national flower

is actually an orchid.

-Mm-hmm.
-So we can figure out a way

of kind of intertwining
these orchids into the plates.

Patricia literally
just told me that
Liz loves orchids,

so having some sort of floral
as a part of the design
would be really nice.

Originally, I was thinking
maybe we could do like

eight plates
or something like that.

So she has a bunch.

I don't know if she actually
needs eight plates

because it is a small kitchen.

Why don't we do four plates

and we can do
teacups and saucers.

And that would be really great
for Liz in the morning.

Oh, my gosh, yeah,
that would be great.

[Elizabeth] Grab
that pansy one.

-[Drew] This one?
-[Elizabeth] Exactly.

[Drew] Oh, that's adorable.

And they'll all kind of, like,
line and stack together.

[Drew] Yeah.

And then this way she'll have,

whatever we decide,
she'll have a full set,

a dinner plate, a saucer,
and a cup.

At the end of the day,
I want these to be functional
plates that she can use.

And I actually really
like the idea of creating
a couple of tea sets.

-Can we do...
I really like this.
-Okay.

I think that there's
a nice finish to this
that she would love,

sort of the muted color tones.

But there's something,
I don't know.

It just speaks
to her heritage.

-I think she would love that.
-I think so, too.

But can we do it in this size?

-Yeah, I'm gonna do
a full dinner plate.
-So let's do that.

We don't have a lot of time.

But Elizabeth has agreed

to create these
plates and cups for us
in only a few days

so that we'll have
this displayed proudly
in the new kitchen

when Liz walks in the door.

Four dinner plates
with this look.

Yeah, so it has the orchids.

The floral has those
pops of colors.

-And then four
complementing tea cups.
-Cup and saucer.

I think that'll be great.

I actually think that
that's such a great idea.

I didn't even
think about tea time.

[Elizabeth] Yeah,
she'll love it.

[Drew] Everyone
loves tea time.

I know she's antsy
to get back home,

so I'm excited to get
her back in there.

[Jonathan] Patricia went bold,

and I think it's gonna
pay off here.

[Patricia] Hey, Liz.
Are you ready?

I am-- [gasps]

Oh, my God, Patricia.

[upbeat music playing]

[Drew] We have
three days left,

which means there is
absolutely no downtime

if we're gonna get this
renovation completed

before Liz returns home.

Nothing is more challenging

than having a room
full of crew

and then trying to squeeze
in a countertop install.

But that's what we have to do

just to get these
gorgeous slabs in place.

[Jonathan] Liz
is an incredible cook.

Her Indian meals
are legendary,

so she needs a countertop
that will work as hard
as she does.

[Drew] This space has to
function for Liz,

but we're also leaning
into the home's history

with a nod
to the golden age of Hollywood

by adding details like this
gorgeous backsplash

that curves elegantly
toward the vent hood.

And while the kitchen
is bursting at the seams,

we have one final
feature to paint.

This is beautiful.

-It's stunning.
-Yeah, gorgeous.

A house like this.
It's an older home.

You wanna make sure
that it's got a classic feel

that's paying an homage
to the era of the home.

This color is going
to make it feel like
that old Hollywood glam.

This is going to be
a bold kitchen.

And I think with some of those
elegant old-school features

like the hardware,
the light fixtures,

that's gonna really
make this look amazing.

[Patricia] Here,
let me give this to you.

And these beautiful... Look.

Hey, didn't it turn out great?

They're incredible.

We have the cups,
we have the tea saucers

and we have the full plates.

She's gonna love these colors
and these flowers.

[Drew] Yeah,
remind her of Venezuela.

[Patricia] It's all custom,
and I think that's how Liz is.

This nod to Venezuela
and orchids,

which again, are another thing
that that Liz loves so much.

-[Drew] It's a cool spot.
I mean, she has her TV.
-And this is a TV.

-This is so great.
-Isn't that cool?

She's gonna love it.

Honestly, the space
just blew my mind.

To do this over three weeks,
it's kind of mind boggling.

Herbs, she's gonna love it.
She can cook with them.

For all of us who are really
fiercely independent people,

it means a lot to us
to be able to stay at home
for as long as we can.

These changes
will really help Liz

stay home for as long
as she wants to stay home.

The counters are almost
two inches lower

to make it
more convenient for her.

If you end up in a wheelchair
at a certain point,

then you can roll in.

-Yeah.
-You know, you can
reach things better.

It's so exciting
'cause, you know,
I owe so much to Liz.

She was there
when my mom died.

And now to give her this,
to have this accessibility.

It's sort of like this is also
a gift for my mom.

My mom didn't get to be
Liz's age, you know,

and if she had,

I would want her life
to be as easy as it could be.

How does it feel
to have been so involved

in something that you
had never done before?

Like this is...
you were very hands on.

Thank you. [chuckles]

-It's true! From breaking--
-I know, look. Look at this.

-This is cool. Yeah.
-Look at this.

These grooves.
The grooviest of grooves.

You have put
all of these little touches
in there for her

because you love her

-and she's done
so much for you.
-Yeah.

And you also deserve
some credit as well.

We wouldn't be here.

None of this
would be happening
if it wasn't for you.

To honor this woman who's done
so much for so many people

is very meaningful to me.

I don't think she ever thought

somebody would do something
like this for her.

So listen, I think tomorrow
I'll meet her outside.

Maybe we shouldn't have
all the cameras because--

-She might notice them?
-Exactly.

I know she's antsy
to get back home,

so I'm excited
to get her back in there.

She's gonna be blown away.
Completely.

Sort of like Christmas morning

when you know
you've got someone
a really great present,

that kind of an excitement,

where you just want to
watch them open it.

So first thing tomorrow,
I feel like this is it.

We're done.
We're gonna surprise her.

-That's right.
What a beautiful surprise!
-[Jonathan] Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

[Jonathan] Patricia went bold,

and I think
it's gonna pay off here.

[Patricia] Hey, Liz,
are you ready?

I am-- [gasps]

Oh, my God, Patricia.

Hey, Liz, your kitchen
might be a little different.

Are you ready?

I am-- [gasps]

[enchanting music playing]

Oh, my God, Patricia.

[Patricia laughing]
Isn't it beautiful?

[Liz] Amazing.

You deserve it.

-[Liz] It's gorgeous.
-[Patricia] Do you love it?

[Liz] I love the colors

and I love
everything about it.

-Okay, wait here.
-Everything?

-[Patricia] Hello!
-Hi. How are you?

-These are the
Property Brothers.
-Hi, we're the muscle

that she brought in
to help do this.

-These are the geniuses.
-How are you?

-She's a genius.
-Aw.

-Well, she knew
to bring us in, so yes.
-[Patricia] That's right.

Look at this.

[Jonathan] She thought,
what are all the things

that would make life
a little bit easier in here?

You can scrape your
chopped vegetables
right out of there.

[Liz] This is the best.

Do you know that I cook a lot?

-Oh, she told us.
-[Patricia] Yes, and look.

It's the first time I could
wipe the peel

of the things
into the garbage.

That's excellent.

I want to show you something.
You're going to love this.

Okay, this is a great height.

And if you push this,
then you press open.

-Look.
-[Jonathan] Microwave,
air fryer, convection oven.

It literally does it all.

[Liz] That is so amazing.

[Patricia chuckles]

[Patricia] And then
look over here.

Check it out.

Oh, this is amazing.

The spices
I could never reach.

And look, you can fill
your pots of water here.

I can't believe that.

[Patricia] You don't have
to schlep back and forth.

[Liz] That is wonderful.

[Drew] Make yourself at home.
This is your dishwasher.

It's a drawer style,

so you can just have it opened
and you can load
everything in here.

You have the two levels.

That is wonderful.

[Drew] Your fridge.

-[Patricia] That's right.
-This is the thing
that I can't believe.

Patricia, did you
choose this color?

-I did. Yes, it was--
-Do you like it?

I love it.

[Patricia] It was
one of the beautiful
things that we thought,

looking at all your art
and all the textiles.

I love my cabinets.

I think
it's a incredible color.

You're coming straight
to the laundry.

[Patricia] That's right.

[Drew] We tried to add
a lot of function in your
laundry space here.

So for your washer dryer,
you actually have this shelf,

so if you have
a laundry basket,

you can bring it over
and you can
just place it here,

unload all your washer-dryer
contents and move it over.

[Liz] Oh, that's wonderful.

You can also look up here
to the upper cabinets.

And you just pull here
and this comes down
to your height.

To have something
so functional like this,

you get to live
the quality of life
you want to live.

It's going to help me
a great deal.

[Patricia] You can have
your laundry soap

or whatever you might
need up there.

[Patricia] Somebody invented
these incredible things,

and now to implement them
is so great.

It's unbelievable.

Finally, tall cabinets
are not just for tall guys.

[Patricia] That's right.
I love this thing.

Did you notice that your light
would flicker all the time?

I did.

-Yeah.
-I noticed.

We fixed the flicker.

-You did?
-Yeah.

So we fixed all of it
to make sure
that it's totally safe.

Thank you so much.

[Jonathan] You're welcome.
You're welcome.

So all your lights work.

We wanted to make sure
you didn't have anything else
that would stress you out.

That is the best thing
you could have done for me.

[Patricia] Look how
gorgeous the sink is.

-[Liz] This is beautiful.
-[Patricia] And this brass.

I love the quartzite
and the wood.

The way
that it curves like that

has that 1920s flair
that's really beautiful.

[Drew] Patricia said,
it would be great for you
to have a space

where you can
work on your plants,

you can do whatever
activities you like.

This is your zone.

I like my plants.

She knows that.

I like it very, very,
very, very much.

Smell this.
You're going to love it.

That's mint.

Yes, and you can
make fresh tea.

[Liz] I have fresh basil
and fresh oregano

and that's very important
to me.

-And look.
-And one thing that you might
not have even noticed.

It looks like there's some
beautiful art on the wall,

but that's actually a TV,
so you can watch
whatever you want.

-I love it.
-This.

I can watch my football games.

-[laughing]
-Kansas City.

And look up here,
see this beautiful plates?

I think that is the most
beautiful thing.

[Jonathan] Custom made
just for you.

And Patricia, she had
so many incredible ideas

for not only the colors
that you would love

and the finishes
you would love,

but also what would
make life easier.

So there are no trip hazards.

The counters are at a height
that's convenient.

The storage is where
you need it.

How does that feel to know
that you have somebody

who's watching
over you like that?

I can't. I mean...

I can't tell you.

Really, I can't.

I can do a great deal more
with this kitchen

than I could have
done otherwise.

We wanted to honor you,

and we wanted you to have
a beautiful time in your home.

I love you, Liz.

[Drew] And I hope you
love your home, Liz.

I do. I do.

Go get cooking. We're hungry.

[laughter]

Get to work, you little mouse.

I want to say,
other than thank you,

that somebody was really
paying attention,

and it happened
to be Patricia.

One thing I remember
Patricia was telling us about

were your tea-time chats,
tea talks.

-Is that what it was?
Afternoon--
-Yeah. Great tea talks.

Maybe we should
make a little tea.
A pot of tea?

I'll grab the kettle.

I hope you love your kitchen.

-I love it.
-And make many
a beautiful meal there

and have a lot
of beautiful memories.

I love you, Patricia.

-[Jonathan] Okay.
-Here we go.

I think this kitchen
is so beautiful
and elegant like you are.

And I'm so glad that you get
to have this beautiful space.

I'm really grateful.

This couldn't be
for a more deserving person

than somebody who really
brings joy to everybody.

I think I would
love to cheers to that.

-Tea cheers.
-Cheers.

This is tea talk like I like.

[Drew] Yes,
we're officially in tea talk.

[all laughing]
