[Jonathan] She took home
the Oscar for Mighty Aphrodite

and has become
a household name

in Romi and Michele's
High School Reunion.

-[Jonathan and Drew] Hello.
-Hello.

You called for
a renovation service?

-They sent the best.
-[Jonathan chuckles] Yeah.

But Mira Sorvino
is now starring

as a different kind
of leading lady

to surprise one of the most
important people in her life.

[Mira] Astrid has
been very close
to me and my family

for the past 16 years.

How bad are
these plumbing issues?

-[Drew] Yeah.
-Well, you tell me.

I know that there's leaks
under the sink.

[Jonathan] The plumbing is
completely detached.

Astrid has been
the kindest person
you'd ever wanna meet.

-[Drew] She's a beast.
Nice!
-[Mira chuckles]

From a design standpoint,
try and do two-tone.

White. She wants white.

Astrid deserves
something special,

and that looks like it has
you guys' design genius in it,
you know?

Your design genius.

No... [chuckles]

Oh, boy, she's pulling in.
She's pulling in.

-Open your eyes.
-Thank you.

[Astrid] This is so beautiful!

So, you know Mira
and her husband Chris, right?

Yeah. We've known 'em
for quite a while.

We actually randomly met
at a party years ago,

and we hit it off.

You know, just think,
you're hanging out
with somebody,

you don't think
of the fact that,
"Oh, my gosh,

"this is
an Academy Award winner,

"royalty in Hollywood
because her dad,

"Paul Sorvino,
Big Paulie from Goodfellas. "

[Drew] Oh, from Goodfellas.
Yeah!

She's done amazing,
funny comedy.

She's done drama.
So, I wonder if

something like
Romi and Michele
is the go-to for fans.

Is she handy, though,
Can she swing a sledgehammer?

I don't know, actually,
if she is handy.

We'll find out 'cause,
you know, she...

Apparently this place
needs a bunch of work.

Astrid has been a part
of the family for so long,

Mira considers her
like an older sister.

-Yeah.
-And for the kids,

they consider her
in-house Grandma.

I just wanna see this house,
because it sounds like
there's a lot of work

that has to happen,
just to make it safe.

-Yes.
-It's got all
the plumbing issues.

That's the concern I have is

if there has been flooding,

then there can also be rot.
There can be mold.

There can be, you know,
problems that you don't
even know are there,

-until you rip things open
and take a look.
-[Drew] Yeah.

-Is this it, here on the left?
-Yeah.

[Jonathan] Right.

-That's a cute little house.
-[Drew] Yes, yes.

-[Drew] All right.
-You're gonna jump over,
aren't you?

[Drew chuckles] Yeah.

-[Jonathan and Drew] Hello!
-Hello.

You called for
a renovation service?

-[chuckling]
-[Jonathan] How are you?

-They sent the best.
-[Jonathan chuckles] Yeah.

-[Drew] Hello, how are you?
Nice to meet you.
-[Mira] So nice to meet you.

[Jonathan] You know, as we're
driving around here,

you see so many
really cute houses,

and you never know
the story on the inside.

And you were saying,
this house has been,
like, major, major problem.

-It's still empty, I see.
-[Mira] Yes,
but the cool thing

is that Astrid's husband,
a long time ago,
actually built this house.

-[both] Oh, wow.
-So, even though right now
it has its challenges,

it's also, like, something
they really wanna preserve

and have great,
new memories in.

So, I'm just hoping
that you guys can make this

this really special haven
for the two of them,

both tying it
to their past together

and making
a beautiful new beginning.

-How bad are
these plumbing issues?
-Yeah.

[Mira] Well, you tell me.
I'm not the plumber.
[chuckles]

[Jonathan] Whoa!
Are they worse
than the structural issues?

Look at the floor here.

How the floor dips down...
Oh, it does it over here, too.
So, I would say,

number one thing would be,

I would run the same flooring
all the way through.

How long has
Astrid and Alfred lived here?

They've had the home,
for, for decades.

Astrid has been
the kindest person
you'd ever wanna meet.

She is a mother of two,
a brilliant person,

a kind, compassionate friend.

Astrid has been
very close to me and my family
for the past 16 years.

When she would
look after my babies,
Astrid became their aunt,

and to me,
she became an older sister.

She's helped me out through
some really hard times.

You know,
my father died recently,
and she was there for me.

And she's always been
the best advice-giver.

And to me, she is the family
I have in California.

We are there for each other.
She's taught me a lot.

And she herself has
had a very hard life.

She lost her sister, Sandra.
Her Alzheimer's progressed
at an alarming pace.

Astrid's wonderful
husband, Alfred,

who built
part of this property,
he's somewhat disabled,

and so they,
they've gone through a lot.

And it's time
for something good

to happen for Astrid,
you know?

She's always there
for other people.

She's always giving
to other people.

Looking after your family,
looking after her family,

-looking after everybody.
-Yeah.

-[Drew] Yeah.
-[Jonathan] That's why I think
it's so important

to have a space that is done,
and safe, and beautiful,

so that when you come home
or when the kids come home,

everybody feels like they can
recharge their batteries

and really enjoy
their own space.

-[Drew] Yeah.
-Yeah.

[Jonathan] Astrid
and her husband
love this house.

But when the pipes
burst in the kitchen,
it flooded the main floor.

Without the resources,
currently,

to fix the plumbing issue
and the damages,

well, they've been living
with their grown kids.

Mira wants to get them
back in their home ASAP.

All right, let's dive
into this kitchen.

[Mira] The floor has
definitely seen better days.

The pass-through window,
really outdated.

I know that there's
leaks under the sink,

and that's connected
to the plumbing issues
underneath.

[Jonathan] I was wondering
why the tile is so high.

The tile is actually on top
of the original hardwood.

-[Drew] So, you have hardwood,
cement.
-Hardwood. Yep.

They've got plywood
over the hardwood.

The plumbing
is completely detached.

-[Drew] Oh, really?
-[Jonathan] Yeah.

Anything that gets
poured down there

is just pouring
into the crawlspace.

Would she love the idea
of completely
opening this up

and having a big island
or something like that?

Apparently,
according to her daughter,
she's not, like,

super into islands,

but I think she would like

-the open concept idea,
you know.
-Okay.

So, having a way
to kind of feel like...

This is so cut-off feeling.

Like, it parses this
into a smallish space,

as opposed to making it
just feel like a...

You know, one side
to the other side,

with the windows
letting in light everywhere.

Well, we wouldn't
want to have cabinets

all the way around the outside
and nothing here.

So, maybe what we can do is
continue some cabinets along

- and have a peninsula.
-[Mira] Yeah.

I don't know if it's possible.

It would be fantastic
if you could get a little bit
more height in here,

because I think that's
one of the things

that makes this space
feel a little cramped,

- is the ceiling height.
-[Drew] Yeah.

But one of the issues
that they have with this house

is that the laundry
for this house
is not in the house.

It's outside the house.

And, you know, I would love
to be able to for her,

bring it inside,
so she doesn't have to
go outside to do the laundry.

That's kind of miserable,
especially,

you know, recently that
we've had so much rain in LA.

It doesn't matter if you're
in a beautiful climate,

you need laundry
inside your house.
It's just functional.

Luckily, the bedrooms
and bathroom
are in great shape,

so Mira wants us to devote
all of our attention

to the kitchen
and dining areas.

Removing the wall
between the kitchen
and dining room is a must.

And mid-tone engineered
oak hardwood

will anchor both rooms
with a warm,
chic sophistication.

In the kitchen,
we're raising the bar
with two-toned cabinets,

which will achieve
the light, bright vibe,
Mira says Astrid loves.

Panel-ready appliances,
a range hood that boasts
a light Roman clay finish,

and porcelain countertops
will up the sumptuous vibe
of the space.

We'll pop a little color
that won't overwhelm
the light palette

with an attractive
tile backsplash,

and span a large peninsula
to give Astrid a focal feature

that can flex
for additional prep space
or cocktails with guests.

If there's space in the attic,
we'll create a ceiling niche

finished in gorgeous
wire brushed oak planks

to add some luxurious
visual interest.

In the dining area,
we'll add a bump-out to house
a stackable washer dryer

that will be
way more accessible

than the current
patio location.

And finally, we'll tuck
a custom banquette
next to the peninsula.

Save space for the family,

but we'll show off
at dinner parties
with cush fabrics,

and a spectacular
statement light fixture
overhead.

We'll completely
redo the kitchen,

fix the structural,
plumbing issues
and do the dining space.

-This whole area
will be incredible.
-I'm excited.

I do have one request
when we do demolition.

Do you, by chance, have
the Romi and Michele outfits

-so that we could wear that
during demolition?
-[chuckles]

Yeah. I just wanna make sure
that when we do demolition,

we can do a scene where
we kind of start like this.

-Grab a hand, Jonathan.
-Yeah.

-And then, we spin in
and then, we spin out.
-[Mira laughing]

[Drew] And then, you come in
with a sledgehammer

and knock down
the cabinet. Yeah.

-[all laughing]
-[Drew] We can do that.

-I'll do piques
with a sledgehammer--
-Amazing.

...'cause that was my...
My big move

-across the floor
is always--
-Oh, yeah.

You look like a professional.

I think Astrid has
spent her life
giving to other people.

And I think
this is a small opportunity

for me to be able
to give something back to her.

So, with nothing to move out,
I feel like

-we could start
demolition tomorrow.
-Yeah.

The idea that the brothers
are coming in

and taking it all
off of her shoulders!

You know, whisking in
with a magic wand
and fixing everything.

It's amazing.

Tomorrow? Why not today?

-Jam your jets here.
-[Mira chuckles]

Did you bring
your sledgehammers?

-[Jonathan] Yeah.
-[Mira laughing]

[Drew] Have no mercy.

[grunts]

-[Drew] Oh! Look at that.
-[clattering]

She's a beast!

-[Drew grunts]
-[Jonathan chuckles]

-[Mira] Ah!
-Ha!

I found demo to be
very cathartic.

At first, I found it
a little frightening,

like, I was
a little intimidated
by the loud bangs.

There we go!

-[Jonathan] Nice.
-It was really fun
once we got into it.

And I enjoyed doing
our little kung fu kicks
into the cabinets.

Is there a line that
people always say to you

when they see you
on the street?

"I'm the Mary."

-[both] "I'm the Mary?"
-From Romi and Michele.

Yeah. "I'm the Mary.
You're the Rhoda."

I was at the
Louvre Museum in Paris,

and somebody
tapped me on the shoulder,
and she says,

"I'm the Mary."

I was like, "Oh, my gosh,
people are doing lines
from Romi and Michele."

-You, like, choked up?
[gasps] "Thank you."
-[Mira] It was meaningful,

that something you'd done
had entered, like,

this sort of collective,
you know, vocabulary.

[growling like Chewbacca]

-[in normal voice] Yeah.
-[clatters]

You know, this is
like a punching bag,
but, like, on steroids.

This is like getting out
all your aggression,

really breaking things
for good.

Like, destroying them.

Like Thor's hammer.
[chuckling]

Two, three...

-[Drew] Yeah--
-[Jonathan] Whoo!

[Mira] The pass-through window

feels very familiar,
but really outdated.

[Jonathan] Now you
pull further over.

-[Mira laughing]
-Nice!

[Mira] You could
definitely see

the space opening up,
and this feeling
of volume and light

coming into the room.

[Drew] Nice.

The whole
open concept lifestyle

is so much more
warm and inviting,
and social and celebratory.

I know Astrid, like,
throws these parties
with her friends,

and I hope that,
after all these losses,

she can kind of
come back to life
a little bit,

with some celebration.

[vocalizes triumphantly]

[Jonathan] Oh,
how good it feels

-to have that light.
-[Drew] Night and day, hey?

-How does it feel?
-[Mira] Cool.

♪♪ Five, four, three, two

[Jonathan] Given the size
of the space

and the fact that
we don't have to order

any big-ticket custom items
like windows and doors,

we're aiming to finish
this job in four weeks.

At the top of
our punch list today,

that plumbing issue
that Mira called us about
in the first place.

Good news or bad news?

Unfortunately, it's bad news.

We have, um, some old pipes
and we have some new pipes.

But unfortunately,
whoever remodeled
or repaired it,

didn't use the right adhesive.
And we have a lot
of leaks, unfortunately.

So, we're gonna have to
replace all the drains
and some of the water lines.

How do you
not even get the right glue
when you pick up the pipe?

Oh, I agree.
It makes no sense.

[Jonathan] What does
make sense is replacing

all the old plumbing
with new pipes and fixtures

that are built to last.

And while that happens below,

up top,
we're finishing the framing.

We came across an opportunity
in the kitchen

to get a little extra height.

We had all that room
up in the attic.

We bumped it up
about 12 inches
and created this little niche.

This is what you would see
as a feature in a custom home.

Even though,
this is not a custom home,

it's gonna have
that custom feel.

Astrid is a very
elegant person.

I want her to be
so proud of this kitchen,

with all it has to offer
the beauty, the function,

that when her friends
come over,

she kind of wants to brag
about it a little bit.

We've also started
framing the bump-out

for the new laundry closet.

And while they work inside...

Isn't this exciting?

...Mira and I
are in the backyard,
nailing down the design.

-It's very exciting.
-[Jonathan] Look at
these finishes.

I know. I love...
That was like,

my favorite thing
was picking stones
and countertops,

when I was doing my kitchen.

The stressful part is when
you're doing it
for somebody else.

You just don't wanna screw up.

So, where would
you like to start?
You wanna...

-Actually, why don't we
look at the plans first?
-Okay.

'Cause this is, sort of,
the most important part of it.

Here's what we've kind of
drawn up, initially,

and we can kind of
massage this as we go.

The question I have for you.

This dining area
does sort of crowd
the living space a little bit.

Do we wanna do
a built-in banquette here?

Do we wanna tuck it away?

So, here's the thing.
At my house, I have

a dining bench,
like, an upholstered,
soft dining bench

that I've seen
Astrid enjoy sitting on.

The only thing about it
being built-in?
It can never be moved.

And I wonder if you could just
make it a finished piece
with a back,

so that
if she were entertaining,

in one of those parties
that she has
from time to time,

then people could
access this bar area,
from either side of it.

Whereas, if you have it
built-in all the way up to it,

-you'd have to reach over--
-[Jonathan] Right.

...the banquette to get to it,
and therefore,

it becomes, sort of,
a non-functioning area.

But we don't...
We don't even have to have...

Like, if if that is something
that she would use a lot...

Like, would she rather
have stools across here?

No, I think... I still
really think she would
like the banquette,

like couch-y kind of thing.

Just as long as
she could move it
at some point, if she wanted.

-Okay. Okay.
-So that, this was finished
and this was finished.

You know,
that both sides of it
were finished.

[Jonathan] So...

Let me play around with that
a little bit then,

because in reality,
I had it in my mind

-that we would do a banquette
that's on two sides.
-[Mira] Yeah.

As a hostess,
it's a little easier

if there's
more move-ability there.

-[Jonathan] Let's talk
about cabinets.
-[Mira] Okay.

You made a comment
when we first toured through

about how she loves things
to be bright.

-And light, yeah.
-And keep it light.

I don't necessarily like to do
all-white kitchens anymore.

However, I think just doing
a nice sand color
for all our lower cabinets,

-and maybe, you know,
some of the pantries.
-[Mira] I don't know.

Her daughter said
that she would like it
all-white.

She doesn't like
a lot of color in the design,

because she adds color
through, like,

curtains, or pottery,

or cushions,
or throw blankets,

and then she changes it up.

This is where
I put my foot down,

and say,
from a design standpoint,

we're already seeing
all-white kitchens
are on the way out.

-Mmm-hmm.
-And we want something
that's gonna have

some legs moving forward.

-White. She wants white. So...
-[Jonathan] White and white.

-Yeah.
-[Jonathan] Interesting.

But, um,
from a design standpoint,

I would push back
a little on that
and try and do two-tone.

At the end of the day,
if she wants to go all-white,
no problem.

If you like a white kitchen,
you like a white kitchen.

So, I don't...
I don't know if he's
gonna win that one.

[Jonathan] I definitely
wouldn't go white-white
with the countertops, then.

Because what were you thinking
as far as countertops,
if this is gonna be all light?

Would you wanna introduce
a little bit of color?

Would you wanna go darker?

[Mira] I mean, that veining
might be a little too dark.

If there was one
that was a little gold-er,

you know, like,
a little bit more faint.

What I like is...

'Cause you can get, like,
white countertops as well.

But, then again, especially
with white cabinets,
that's way too much white.

Yeah, I think a little bit
of texture in the,

-in the design is nice.
-Yeah.

Then, I'll explore
that a little bit.

I think the floors are gonna
be a huge thing as well.

So, you can see I have

-hundreds of colors
and different samples.
-Uh-huh.

I would probably
lean towards something

in a nice medium tone
for the floors.

Give it the warmth,
but it... Not too dark.

-This would be too dark.
-Yeah, that's too dark
and too green.

I... I love this one.

-Yeah?
-[Mira] It's kind of
more my taste.

Um, I don't know
whether she minds
one way or the other.

-[Jonathan] I can even
find something--
-[Mira] Sort of in between?

-[Jonathan] ...kind of
between the two.
-[Mira] Yeah.

-Would she--
-'Cause this will get

-dirtier-looking than this.
-Yeah.

Something I was
thinking about, which...

You had asked to get
a little bit more height
in the kitchen.

-Mmm-hmm.
-[Jonathan] Um, we looked up
in the attic,

and there is space.

So, we could do an in-set.

-Like a coffered ceiling?
-Yeah. Like a coffered detail.

And we could

take the same wood tone
that we choose,

and do, like,
a herringbone detail in that.

That would be like...
That would, all of a sudden,

-make it feel--
-As long as that we're light.

Like, I think for that,
then you'd need, like,
one as light as this.

If you're doing a combination
on the floor of these tones,

I would go with that
for the ceiling area.

-Okay.
-So, it feels, you know,
still light.

I'm gonna give you homework.

I want you to take
these cabinets to Adeline

and see if you can
sell her on two-tone.

And if you can't, we will do
a white-on-white kitchen.

Your homework? Go show those.

If she says, "Absolutely not,"
then we'll go white-on-white.

-It's fine.
-[Mira] Okay. But--

My homework's a lot easier
than your homework. Ha!

It's the start of week two,

and with brand-new plumbing,
electrical and insulation,

inspectors have given us
the thumbs up to move on.

Our drywall team was here,
bright and early,

to finish up the install
so we could tag out
for the flooring team.

Mira asked for a light,
bright kitchen,

and we landed on
these mid-tone planks.

They're light enough
to give Astrid
the aesthetic she loves,

but will work well
with the darker,
sand-colored lower cabinets

Mira and Astrid's daughter,
Evelyn, selected.

I love the fact

that Mira was able
to check in with Evelyn,

make sure that
we could get something
that Astrid's gonna like.

-[Mira] Okay.
-You're looking pro
with the plaid.

-[Mira chuckles]
-I like the plaid.
See, Jonathan,

this is how
you make plaid look good.

I know. I'm still
working on it. [grunts]

[Drew] So, what do you think
of the color?

I think it's nice.
It's very peaceful.

I think there's
a subtlety to this color.
It's still impressive.

It's beautiful.

And when
we have the countertop
and the backsplash

and the wood cladding
on the ceiling,

along with these wood floors,
which are stunning.

You can see
a little bit of it here.

-[Mira gasps]
-[Drew] Look at that.

-Isn't that nice?
-[Mira] Oh, it's so pretty.

Oh, I love the wide planks.
It just feels so luxurious.

I was the skeptic.

I think Astrid's daughter
was initially a little bit
of a skeptic, too.

You know, so, I was
very nervous about, like,

us imposing a non,
all-white aesthetic
on the kitchen.

I love it.

But I feel like
there is something

very harmonious
about it right now.

So, do you wanna
help me lift that plywood

-on top of here?
-[Mira] Ooh, okay.

[Drew] It's actually
not very heavy.

You good? Watch your back.

-Okay, now...
-[Jonathan] All right.

-Just--
-[Drew] Watch the wall there.

Yeah.

There we go.
And then, I'll slide it over.

Yeah, so they're
coming tonight
to template for the stone.

So, we wanna get
our plywood perfect.

That actually
lines up beautifully.

Do you wanna try cutting it?

[Mira] Uh, if you guys
trust me to cut it.

I don't wanna screw it up.

I've done a little bit
of home remodeling myself.

It is super daunting to do it
and manage it yourself.

Wanna give it a shot?

-Okay.
-So--

-[laughing nervously,
exclaims]
-[Drew] You can just reach.

-Pull the trigger. Yeah.
-[whirring]

[Drew] Plunge. And then push.

Nice.

[Mira] I mean, it's crazy.
Like, I'm not a handy gal,
you know?

You know, I don't have
a tool belt at home.

-Perfect. Right there.
-[powers down]

-Well done.
-[Mira exclaims]

[Drew] You actually made that
look super, super easy.

[Mira] Before, you know,

the kitchen was not
a space you wanted to be in.

And now, it feels like
one beautiful space

where every
visual line of sight

is beautiful, and calm,
and lovely.

I like how the bump-out...
This kind of still separates

the living room space
from the eating,

-entertaining space--
-It does.

...without blocking
the flow of openness.

-The wall--
-You look like you're about
to do a dance move

-right there.
-All right.

[Mira] Astrid is very elegant.

I think she probably
thought of the kitchen as,
like, a throwaway area before.

And now, I think
she's gonna feel like,

"Oh, wow. I've got, like,
a kitchen from a magazine."

Okay, let's finish anchoring
all these together,

secure this down,
and we'll just keep
working our way around.

[claps] Yes.

[Jonathan] From the start,
Mira has been very clear.

She wanted to spoil Astrid
with elegant custom finishes,

to show her
how much she cares.

And this kitchen
ceiling feature
is an extra touch of elegance,

that will make Astrid feel
especially fancy in her space.

This is our
Sistine Chapel effect.

I love the fact that,
you know, you've got...

It feels like
way more height in here,

so it makes it feel
more luxurious.

Which is gonna be nice.

It's white oak.
It's my favorite. So...

And this has a really nice,
kind of lighter,

mid-tone finish to it.

Um, and it's been
wire brushed as well.

So, that really
pulls out the grain

so it's not too smooth.

I find, sometimes,
if it's too smooth
and too glossy,

it looks a little dated.

But if it's got
that organic texture to it,

it'll stay looking nicer
for a long time.

It's very calm.
Like, I think it's beautiful.

-[pops]
-Boom. All right.

Let's measure that next one.

I really like it,
and I'm so happy
it's not dark.

[straining] Almost
like we planned it.

It's the beginning
of week three,

and these beautiful
porcelain countertops

Like Mira,
I spoke to Astrid's daughter,

and we agreed
that she would prefer

texture and a lighter tone
over pattern and dark veining.

This porcelain material
is the perfect product
for Astrid.

It looks beautiful.

All of this is adding
that extra little touch
of elegance,

which I know
is gonna speak to her.

We're installing
the same porcelain

12 inches up the back wall
as a backsplash

where it'll meet a mosaic tile
inspired by Astrid's
Spanish heritage.

And we're hoping
to top that backsplash

with a porcelain shelf
that screams custom.

The one warning
I will give you

with how long and narrow
this piece of stone is,

this is the piece of stone
that will crack.

We have to be very gentle
as we kinda put it in.

Okay.

So, just putting it out there,
we actually did a project--

I mean, I trust you
not to crack it.

-I don't trust me
not to crack it.
-I'm not gonna crack it.

Yeah. See? I'm gonna crack it.

-Why don't you
do the caulking...
-[Mira] Okay.

I do like the shelf.
I think the shelf
is very cool.

[Jonathan] It's like
craft time with Mira.

[Mira] Me, I'd probably
load it up with plants.

You could put basil
or cilantro or, you know...

-[handsaw buzzes]
-[Mira exclaims]

Like, right underneath
the kitchen window.

And then if you're cooking,
you just break off
a little sprig of them.

[Jonathan] Yep, perfect.

You can basically see
the pencil mark disappearing

when the pencil mark's
all gone, you're done.

All right.

[both mock exclaim]

I know it feels weird,
like, "Do we really need
to do that little, tiny bit?"

But we do
because if you think about it,

every 16 inches,
we have a stud in the wall
and we're pushing right to it

and those studs
are not all perfectly level.

That tiny little bit
that eighth of an inch
that you just took off

will prevent this from rocking
in the wrong position.

-Nice.
-All right and here we go.

Oh, my gosh!

Totally messing with you.

[Mira] So what exactly
is this material?

This is porcelain,
it's basically, like,
heated and compressed.

With the way they color it,
it looks like natural stone.

We're gonna put
your end in first

and then I've cut
a little channel here
to try and slide my hand in

but it's very tight.

-Okay?
-Okay.

-[Jonathan] You
ready for this?
-[Mira] I'll try. Yeah.

All right, you go in first
with your end.

[Mira] So I'm
gonna put my hand
over it

until I get
towards the corner.

[Jonathan] Okay, perfect.

[Mira] And I'm gonna risk it.

-[Jonathan] All right.
-[Mira] Okay, so...

[Jonathan] Right in,
as deep as it will go.

There we go [chuckles].

Yeah. Nice. That feels good.

I feel like you're gonna have
some good parties
in this kitchen work area.

I'll come and cook for her.
I'll come and cook Italian
for her.

Gosh, we give her
a kitchen and a chef.
I love it.

While Mira and I
finish up the porcelain,

Drew and Eva
from our design team

are looking
for the perfect tile

to install above
the backsplash feature.

I kind of feel
that this backsplash

is gonna be what adds
the most visual interest

-the moment
you come into the space.
-[Eva] Yeah.

But we don't want it
to be in-your-face,
bold colors.

I think there's a way
we can use the shape
of the tile, the pattern

and we can still have
some tones that are
a little darker.

I just think we need
to be more neutral

with how we play with it.

Yeah, 'cause we're working
with a lot of neutrals.

So I feel like
if we can find something

that, like, pulls
all of our neutrals together

would be kind of like
a fun thing

or something that complements
all of our neutrals.

I definitely wanna go
for a little pizazz
because Astrid needs it.

-She deserves it.
-Can you spoil someone
with tile?

-I think so.
-[Eva] Yeah.

-Hey! How's it going?
-Hey, Drew. How you doing?

-[Drew] Good. Good to see you.
-Good to see you too.

-[Drew] You know Eva.
-Hey, Eva. How's it going?

-Good to see you.
-Good to see you too.

-[Drew] These are gorgeous,
by the way.
-[Jim and Eva] Yeah.

Our focus is backsplash.

-But the one big thing,
if you got my note...
-Yes.

[Drew] The character
without color is what
we're looking for.

Yep, I mean, we can do
a couple of different things,
and this is one of them.

Since you said
they're gorgeous.

This is zellige from Morocco,

a handcrafted tile.

We can do a tone-on-tone
on this.

There are some tiles
in the back of some
luxurious marble.

I think something that has
a bit of that old world charm.

Something handmade.

[Drew] Yeah, like anything
artisanal is is amazing,
but just not a ton of color.

So why don't we do this?
Why don't you and I
divide and conquer?

-Find some options.
-Okay. You pick two,
I pick two.

And then we meet at the back?

-Yes.
-All right.

Mira was clear.

Astrid does not like
contrasting colors
or bold patterns.

So our challenge?

Find something
that will attract the eye

without throwing off
the elegant, calm esthetic
of the design.

-Okay, I'll need to explain
my samples.
-Okay, 'cause I see color.

I know, I know.
We said no color.

[Eva] I mean,
that's not blue, but...

So I picked this
because the artisanal
look of this tile

is exactly what I think
would be awesome
in the kitchen

if we could get a lighter
tile than this green.

-Yeah.
-I love this color.
I like the variation.

Oh, so you like what I pulled?

-[Drew] I do like
what you pulled. Well done.
-[Eva] Okay, good.

I like the shapes of this one.

Like, I like
that there's a little bit
of contemporariness to this.

The only thing is that
I think that this is
a bit more commonplace,

it's not as artisanal.

-Sure.
-So I was thinking
this might be too safe.

I pulled this one
a little bit randomly.

-Yeah.
-This one.

[Eva] How do you feel
about... [chuckles].

[Drew] This is a bit...
Excuse me. Too much of a wash.

[Eva] Yeah. Okay.

-I really like this.
-Yes.

I like that we have
the darker tones
and the lighter tones.

I love the pattern.

I would actually say
I like this more than this.

-[Eva] Do you?
-[Drew] Yeah.

-Let's move these to the side.
-So those are no's?

-No.
-Okay, let's start here.

What would you say...

Not the color of the green
because Mira did say
we don't want any bold colors.

-But what's your gut?
-My gut is this one.

I love how you can see
every tone.

[Drew] And you know what
I like as well?

It's not gonna compete
with the herringbone pattern
on the ceiling.

It's not gonna compete
with anything else
in the room.

-It just complements it.
-[Eva] Yeah.

So I say we go with this.

Did I pick the winner?

-You picked
the winning backsplash.
-Yes!

Well done!

[Mira gasps] Is that her?
Oh, boy, she's pulling in.

-Hi!
-Hi!

Why are so many cameras here?

Are you filming something?

[Mira] You know how I said
that we were gonna fix
some plumbing issues for you?

-Open your eyes.
-Yes, thank you.

[Astrid] Oh, my goodness.
This is so beautiful!

So, first off,

tell me what you think.

It's really beautiful.

It's very subtle,
but it's interesting.

And one of the places
that Astrid came with me
to help me was Spain.

And Astrid is part Spanish
and so this might remind her
of that beautiful memory.

Yeah, and it also has
that variation of color,
which is nice.

We need a bit of depth
in the design.

So do you want
to do the honors?
Have you ever cut before?

I have not.

[Drew] All right,
all you need to do...

I'll line the first one up
for you.

I am the person
who chopped off the tip
of her own finger

with a paper cutter.

-You did?
-Yeah.

Wait, show me your fingers.

[Mira] See how this one
is a little weird-looking?

See how that's, like,
rounded and a little longer?

When I was a model
for a very brief time
in the '90s,

I was working
on the pictures for my book.
I'd done a test shoot.

So I took the picture,
I had one of those
old-fashioned paper cutters,

I lined it up, and whack!
I chopped...

Oh, my God,
that gives me shivers.

So this is the kind of thing
that I feel, like,
I am so klutzy.

I could actually just...
[mimics getting hurt]

You know, we will not
cut off any fingers today.

So you can hold here,
don't put your fingers
over near the blade.

And you've already
lined that up nicely,
so you hold this.

-I'll turn it on. You ready?
-Okay.

Slow and steady.

This is mosaic tile.
This isn't printed
Moroccan-looking tile.

It's actually hand crafted
with the pieces,

which makes it very special,
I think.

All right, look at you.
Professional work.

You did pretty great work,
if I don't say so myself.

With the Moroccan tile,

you know,
hints of her ancestry,
it's very beautiful.

-Do you wanna stick that side?
I'll stick this side.
-[Mira] Okay.

It's simple but not basic.

The glaze is very luminous.
It's so pretty.

[Drew] Yeah, but we didn't
want it too shiny.

I think it's nice,
it's sort of that mid-tone.

[Mira] Yeah,
it has some texture.

Astrid deserves
something special

and it looks like
it has you guys' design genius
in it.

-Your design genius.
-No, you picked it.

There's this beautiful,
sort of peaceful,
zen, calm feeling

to the whole
visual symmetry of it,
like, color wise.

So hopefully she will
feel that, too,

because I feel like
she needs a calm,
beautiful place to exist in.

I think this looks amazing.
To have this...

It's created a frame
around the window beautifully

and now we're
just gonna wrap it
with this beautiful tile.

-Yeah.
-Do you want me
to finish the top here?

-If you want to do
the next couple...
-Okay.

[Jonathan] It's
just three days

before Astrid walks
into her new kitchen
and dining room,

so we're motoring through
our punch list.

The Roman clay finish
is going on the range hood,

and we decided
to apply the same finish

to the bump
out in the dining room

just to help tie
both spaces together.

Astrid is
a very elegant person.

All right, go for it.

She's very refined
in her taste,

so we want something
that's gonna represent that.

-Perfect.
-Okay.

-Do you still have your thumb?
-[Jonathan] I have a thumb.

All right. Boom.

So, the idea is
when you're done
and you don't wanna use it...

Perfect, clean,
minimizes the effect, so...

And how do you...

-[Mira gasps]
-[Jonathan] Just like that.

-Wow.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.

It's the magic secret.

[Jonathan] We also want
to give the new appliances
a touch of custom

with a panel-ready fridge
and dishwasher

that blends seamlessly
with the kitchen's
neutral palette.

This is such a cool light.

And finally, we're adding
the crowning glory
to the custom ceiling niche.

-It's so cool.
-Yeah.

Like, I didn't
even understand,
and I was like...

These petals, like, light up.

And the whole thing
is very feminine
and yet modern.

It's so cool.

This is
a one-of-a-kind fixture.

[Mira] It's amazing.

Didn't somebody say that this
might be like a lotus flower?

And then that reminds me
of the time that we spent
together in Thailand.

The idea that this fixture
actually has a reference
to your history together,

whether intentional
or unintentional...

The idea was to do
something unique.

-[Jonathan] And... [exclaims]
-Let there be light.

-Wow, it's so pretty.
-Love it.

Love making a statement,
and it's one more thing
off our to-complete list.

Good luck.
[whispers] Don't screw up.

[line ringing]

She's not answering.

-Hi, Astrid.
-[Astrid] Hello.

Listen, we've resolved
the plumbing issues
that we were working on

and I just had
a few questions for you.

So if you could come over
and, you know, to...

"Come over here,
let's talk ideas."

Yeah, like, come over here
and we'll just talk ideas
for your kitchen, okay?

Okay, sure. I'll see you then.

-Okay, see you. Bye.
-[Astrid] Bye.

-That was terrible.
-You did it!

-No, what are you
talking about?
-[Mira] It was terrible.

-It was awful.
-[Drew] No, you're good.

[Drew and Jonathan] You
sold it.

I was like a deer
in headlights.

I'm amazed that I have a job
in the entertainment industry
based on that.

I thought you did great.
I thought you sold it.

-You could tell she bought it.
-She totally bought it.

So now all we have to do
is we'll do one last
quick zhuzh,

we'll make sure
everything's perfect.

And then what should we do
when she comes?

Why don't do this?
Why don't we
come outside as well?

Let's hide outside
'cause you can
meet her out front

and then before
you bring her in,

be like, "I did a little more
than I told you,
and I had some help."

And then we'll join you.

-Okay.
-Do we do that?

-[Jonathan] You look
so nervous.
-[Drew] Breathe. Deep breaths.

From day one,
Mira stressed the importance
of creating a space

that's easy for Astrid
to entertain it.

-Oh, it's looking good.
-[Mira] Yeah.

Quick draw
with the salt and pepper.

Yeah, Astrid loves
throwing parties,

she loves hosting family
and friends.

Pillow fight.

[grunts in effort]

Yeah, just
throw them down here.
Thank you.

And we've thought
through all the details
with her guests in mind.

-Jon, tell us
if we're centered nicely.
-[Jonathan] Great.

Yeah, this is sort of
like an all hands on deck
to get this done.

Okay, what I love
about these things
is that they swivel.

-That is crazy.
-I know.

So they could face
the room or the counter
and it's very cool.

Like, to have
that giant peninsula
is gonna be so great

for any sort of
either food preparation
or party service.

You know, just to put
out chafing dishes
or whatever big bowls.

This is stunning
and functional
and, like, really special.

Oh boy, she's pulling in.

All right,
last minute zhuzh. Okay.

Okay. [exclaims nervously]
Wish me luck. Oh. Okay.

-[Mira] Hi!
-Hi!

-How you doing?
-Come on over.

-Why are so many cameras here?
-[Mira laughs]

Are you filming something?
What's going on?

Come on. Come on over here.

-Hi, you look beautiful.
-[Astrid] Oh, thanks,
you do too.

-[Mira] Love you.
-Love you too.

[Mira] Okay, come here.
Let's get out of the sun.

So you know how I said
that we were gonna fix
some plumbing issues for you

'cause I know you
haven't been able to get
into the house for a while.

We did a little bit more
than plumbing,

[chuckles] and when I say
a little bit more,
I mean a lot more.

And I didn't do it alone,
I had some major-league help.
So, uh...

-Oh, hi!
-[Mira] Oh, boy.

-How you doing?
-What's happening?

Oh, my gosh! Are you really...

-How are you...
-[Astrid] Are you...

Oh, my goodness!

-I used to see
your show in Canada.
-Oh, really?

Every time I was
with you, filming,

I will watch them
all the time.

-I will never believe
it was you. Oh, my...
-I know, can you believe it?

Astrid is my big sister,
my California family,

and she's been a major part
of our family for years

-and my kids
consider her like an aunt.
-Yes.

And she just...

My nephews and, yeah,
like my sister, too.

I mean, you're my sister.
Not like my sister.

[Drew] We see you
like family, and the stories
that we've heard,

I mean, you sound like
you've just been an amazing
part of the family

-[Astrid] Thank you.
-and I think we should
just take you inside

because it's
a little different
than it was before.

[Jonathan] Why don't you
close your eyes?

Okay, here, we're gonna
close your eyes.

We're gonna lead you
in through the door.

Don't open
your eyes, all right?

I'll make sure you don't
bump into the wall.

-This is all for you, Astrid.
-[Astrid] Thank you.

-[Drew] Here we go.
-[Jonathan] Go ahead.

Okay, so I'm opening the door,
keep your eyes closed.

Okay, now we're just
gonna walk forward.

-All right, so,
open your eyes.
-Yes, thank you.

Oh, my...

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.
This is so beautiful!

-So, open your eyes.
-Thank you.

Oh, my...
Oh, my goodness,
this is so beautiful!

This is like another place
in another house, and...

Wow. It's beautiful.

The colors,
everything is so perfect.

It's beautiful. Beautiful.

Thank you so much.

-I love you.
-[both sniffling]

[Astrid] Oh, wow...

It's just like another...
Like a brand new house.

[Mira] It's elegant like you.

You know how you used
to love to throw parties?

I hope you can
throw parties again now.

-Yes.
-This is the perfect place.

You have your friends over,
you put plates here,
everybody hangs out here.

You know, we've both suffered
kind of heavy hits
in the past few years.

-You know?
-[Astrid] Yes, Mira.

Part of life is picking up
and moving forward, you know?

I want this to be
a new phase of your life

where things pick up
and you feel happy and social,

and I'll come and cook
for you here, I'll make you
some Italian food.

Yes, you're welcome.

You can tell that Mira
knows design

because some of the ideas
that she brought in,

bumping up the ceiling
in your kitchen to create
a statement in here.

-The wood cladding is amazing.
-It's beautiful.

-[Mira] You see that
beautiful chandelier there?
-[Astrid] Yes.

It's supposed to be,
like, a lotus leaf.

And then also the tiles.

[Astrid] Oh, yeah,
they're beautiful.

[Mira] They remind me
of Spain, you know?

And our trip
to Spain and just...
Your Spanish roots.

[Astrid] Yes. It's beautiful.

I don't even want
to touch anything
so I won't make it dirty.

[Jonathan] Well, and you also
have so much storage now.

You have
breakfast bar seating.

This is a really cool thing,
these actually swivel.

Grab a seat.

So if you want
to face the kitchen,

you wanna face your guests,
whichever way you want to be.

-And it's healthy
'cause there's a back.
-Yes.

You know, this is
very nicely upholstered.

Probably I'll never
leave this chair
over here, from here.

[Mira] You know how I have
the dining bench in my house?

-[Astrid] Yes.
-I really wanted you
to have something like that.

Then you can just be
sort of relaxed at the table

and you can use the table
as a workspace,

as a desk,
as an eating place, whatever.

But we also know that you like
to move stuff around.

If you wanted to play with
the layout of the furniture,

nothing was like installed
into the wall or set in stone.

You can move
everything around if you want.

But the way it is...

-[Mira] I know, the way it is
is quite perfect.
-It's perfect.

I wouldn't move it.

I like it the way it is

because we can have
family and friends,

and then at the same time,
somebody can be in the kitchen
while you're cooking.

So we can all be together
talking and having fun
and cooking.

Come this way,
we have another
little surprise for you.

Now, just push
on this little door there
and open it up.

[gasping] Wow.

[Mira] That was one thing
we really wanted to do.

I don't want you
to have to go outside
to do their laundry.

And these are full size,
they're really big.

But then it's just
hidden away here

and it's right
near the bedroom,

so you could take
the clothes in and out.

And it's like you cannot
even tell that it's part
of the kitchen.

I figured this is the perfect
folding surface as well

if you have towels
and things like that.

Whatever you need,
it's convenient.

Way more convenient
than the back yard.

-Oh, yes.
-Yeah.

And it's gonna be so easier
and better for us
as we getting older.

So we can be washing
inside our house.

Look at the cabinets
and feel how they feel good
to open

'cause they've got, like,
a sort of back,
so they're not too hard.

We sort of inquired about
kitchen cabinet preferences.

I think we can both agree
that it looks amazing,
the way that it came out.

-[Astrid] Yeah.
-[Mira] I mean, I worried
about that for a few weeks.

I mean, never thought
in my mind

to see something
in a different color
than white.

Now, I don't want
white anymore.

I like it
the way it is right now.
It's beautiful.

[Jonathan] You have
a beautiful range,

a beautiful
cooktop pot filler.

You don't to carry
heavy pots of water over.

Fill it right on here.

Your microwave
is also an air fryer
and a convection oven.

So you technically have
two ovens.

And you have
a fridge over here,
tucked away.

Yeah, this is your fridge.
I didn't even look at this.

I didn't even...
I thought this was a cabinet.

-I literally thought
this is a cabinet.
-[Astrid] Oh, wow.

-[Mira] Look at that,
it's beautiful.
-[Astrid] Beautiful.

And the freezers there.

And then you have
cabinets on top.

And you have all of that
pantry over there.

[Astrid] A dishwasher.
[chuckles softly]

So we don't have
to be washing dishes anymore.

It's like magic.
That's the way
I can describe it.

And it's gonna be good
for me and my husband.
He's gonna love it.

He's gonna be
more calm there, too.

I'm very grateful
and I'm speechless.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Thirty-five years
that I've been married,
we came into this house,

so my husband said,
"I wanna remodel,"
because his grandma died here.

We did what we could,
but I will never thought
of doing something like this.

She is family to me.

She's my found
and created family.

She's one of the kindest
people I've ever met.

One of the most generous,
sweet, supportive,

just selfless people
that I've ever known.

Hopefully, this will give you
a soft landing

to start moving
towards that half
of your future again.

The only thing
that is left to do
is we need to party.

We need to celebrate.

I think we need
a few more people
to celebrate.

All right.

-Yes.
-Making new memories, yes.

Starting from today.

A few more people
for the party.

-Woo-hoo!
-Wow!

-Wow.
-Wow, it is beautiful.

We should have brought them in
to help with demo too.

Look at all the muscle
we have down in here.

-What's up, brother?
-How are you? Good to see you.

I actually haven't
met the kids before.

Hey, what's happening, guys?
Good to meet you guys.
How you doing?

-It's amazing, isn't it?
Are you happy?
-Yes, it is!

Oh, yeah, I'm real happy.
Thank you.

-You deserve it, Astrid.
-Thank you so much.

My Holdy.

She's promised she's gonna
throw some amazing parties.

-I assume you're welcome.
-We're excited.

Cooking potato tacos.

-Tacos? Yeah.
-Will you make
the salsa again?

Yes, I will.

Sorry, I have
the words in Spanish,
and then it comes in English.

And then I have it in Spanish,
and then just...

What is it
about the potato tacos
that's so good?

-[Holden] They're just like...
-It's something simple.

Yeah, it's just a simple thing
that she always made.

Mira...

Te quiero mucho, Mira.

I love you so much too.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
