Okay. Here we go, Luke. We gonna do the bottom of his mouth.
- Did we do it? - Let me see, Luke.
It's perfect.
Luke,
does this pumpkin make you smile?
Autumn is upon us and this is the mayhem
that goes on when carving pumpkins.
This thing is impossible to draw on,
- especially with a crayon. - Stop complaining.
- Oh, it's getting nasty here. - You broke my spoon.
Oh, my gosh.
- I love it. - 'Cause you're using power tools.
Watch out, it gets kinda crazy.
- Ahh! - Oh, my word, David. You're making a mess,
we gotta clean all this.
This is a disaster.
We made a mess. We have tears, laughter, joy, sorrow
all the elements of a good family night.
- What are you doing? - It's a hat for a different pumpkin.
- Like-- - Put it on your head if it's a hat.
There ya go. It looks good.
Fits amazing.
It's little bit of a drive today.
This is pretty up here.
We're heading to Jeremy and Janine Pryor's house.
They're a really sweet family. They just moved here from Seattle.
- He's working for an electric vehicle company, isn't he? - Yes.
And she's a doctor, she works at the children's hospital.
- This is it right here. - Ooh, it's so pretty.
- Look at this property. - It's beautiful.
Look at this stone, I feel like we're in Europe.
The landscaping's nice, the brick's nice, the stone's nice.
I'm not doing anything to the outside of this house, it's beautiful.
- Hi there. - Are you Janine?
You're in the right spot.
Come on out guys.
- Hi, guys. - How's it going?
- Good to see you. - Good to see you.
You guys are here in Arkansas, welcome.
And you bought a really beautiful home
on a beautiful piece of property.
The curb appeal is definitely why we bought the house.
- Yes. - Okay.
We love the outside,
- we don't need to change anything. - Okay.
Wow, that's amazing. Whoo, we're winning.
All right, so...
what are we doing?
Yeah, we'll step inside and we'll have a look I guess.
- Oh. - Okay.
- I'm Janine. - And I'm Jeremy.
Our son, Finley, he's one years old.
We just moved to Northwest Arkansas from Seattle, Washington.
My job took us here.
We found this house that's been sitting on the market for 100-some odd days,
and then the price dropped, we did a virtual walk-through.
First thing we see is chandeliers everywhere,
intricate decor, almost like it could be a ballroom.
Yeah, Mad Hatter tea party is what comes to mind for me.
The wallpaper, the tile, it's just not our taste.
Yeah, it feels like a stranger's home.
But this house is extremely well-built.
And it has a ton of potential, which is what drew us to it.
We just want the inside to be our own.
We need Dave and Jenny to really run with this.
Yeah, I am happy to hand it over to Dave and Jenny.
Yeah, if you left it up to us, we would never be able to come to a decision.
Yeah, it's much better for our house and for our marriage
to let Dave and Jenny take care of it.
Okay, so we didn't talk about what are you planning to spend on this renovation.
- We have around $200,000 to spend. - Okay.
So should we go check out the inside?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- All right, here is it. - Oh, wow.
Wow, there's a lot of crystals.
A lot of crystals.
- Wow. - Wow.
- Nice high ceilings, that's really lovely. - Yep.
Very ballroom like.
- Yeah, I think we're a little bit more casual. - Yeah.
So this is very different from what I was expecting from the outside.
This house is glam.
And very different than what we're used to.
I mean, it's not the 100 year old house that we normally see,
but even newer homes, like this, come with their own challenges.
Right off the bat, I'm seeing, like, four or five different floors.
- Yeah. - It's a lot going on.
Definitely one floor would be great for us.
- Yeah. - Okay.
But, I mean, besides all the crystal, it's a really cool space.
- Yeah, it has a ton of potential. - Great space.
Ton of potential.
So what would you like done in the living room?
I would love to open it up to the backyard, if possible.
It'd be great to bring the outdoors inside.
So maybe like a French door, or a big slider, or something along this wall?
- Yeah. - Okay.
And then update the fireplace.
- Okay. - Okay, yeah, this fireplace is a little bulky.
There's a lot of intricate details, what would you like to see?
- Doesn't have to be super modern... - Yeah.
...just something updated,
- something a little bit more practical. - Updated. Yeah.
Okay, what about color?
- I mean, obviously, this is dark. - And shiny.
Yeah, I would like a lighter color, just make it feel more open.
And flooring?
- We have a white dog, so. - Okay.
- So lighter flooring. - Sounds great.
And then what about the lighting?
Do you guys wanna change this up?
Yeah.
I would love to have a fan in here.
- Yeah. - Because it's such a high ceiling
- just to kind of move some air around. - Yeah.
Well, those registers up there,
they gotta push air a long ways before you feel it.
- Yeah. - Because it's so high. Yeah, okay.
So the plan in the living room is to update the flooring and update the fireplace.
We'll paint. Get you a fan.
And then figure out a way to install either French doors
or slider out into the backyard.
- Sounds great. - What's next?
I have to ask what is happening in here, I have to know.
- This is the best part. - This is our kitchen.
Oh, wow, look at this wallpaper.
- Are those ghouls? What is that? - Ghouls?
Like ghosts, that's what it looks like.
Look. Looks like two eyes and two hands coming to get you.
- Look at the fan! - Oh, there's your fan, you're fine.
Yeah, yeah. If you could just move this to the living room.
This ceiling is really shiny.
Is it tin? Or is that just paint?
- Metallic paint. - That's paint.
Everywhere I turn I'm noticing something new.
Look at the curtains.
That's a leather curtain.
Oh, yeah, feel it.
- It is! It's like alligator skin. - It's leather.
Oh, yeah.
Jenny, I could make a miniskirt for you outta this,
that would be amazing.
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot of unique elements in here
- and it makes this house feel very eccentric. - Yes.
It is a very specific thing that worked for a very specific person.
What would you like this kitchen to be for you and your family?
Well, we'd love to open it up to the living room.
- Remove this wall. - Okay, mmm-hmm.
We'd love a big island.
We can open this up.
- Like, this has a beam in it right here. - Mmm-hmm.
That's a beam supporting the ceiling.
So I can take it and put a bigger beam, and go as far as we wanna go.
But, my question is, if we take this wall out
you, obviously, will then have a big island.
But you're getting rid of all of this, right? Storage and cabinetry.
I mean, you could run your kitchen
- along this whole wall... - Yeah.
...and make it a big, huge kitchen with a giant island.
I like that idea of a big kitchen.
- Yeah. - Mmm-hmm. Yeah, right?
I mean, it's a big space.
And then people coming in and out without this wall,
I think it'd be really, really beautiful.
All right, so the plan for the kitchen is
to remove all the wallpaper, take down this wall.
We'll tie in the wood flooring from the living room.
Updated cabinets with a big island in the center.
Countertops. We'll paint. And get you new lighting and new appliances.
Change it out and make it a little bit more your style.
That'd be wonderful.
All right, what's next?
Main bedroom and bathroom.
- Okay, let's check that out. - Okay.
Oh, wow, this is a really nice room. It's huge.
Yeah, this is really nice.
I love all the light coming in here,
- it's a beautiful room. - Yeah, it's beautiful.
So we don't need a lot here, uh, we would love a lighter paint color.
Change out the ceiling fan,
- something a little more modern. - Okay.
Easy enough, okay.
So we're just painting, refreshing the space.
- We'll get a new fan. - Yeah.
- Yep. - Okay, perfect.
- Is this the bathroom? - Is it.
Good luck with that door.
Oh, it's very...
- Push on the bottom, it's crooked. - Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh. All right.
It's fine. I got it.
If you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night
- you're waking everybody in the house up. - Yeah, I know.
- Oh, my. Look at this. - Wow.
It's like the Queen's court in here.
There's a lot of chandeliers in this house.
- Yeah. - Mmm-hmm.
Not only here, but they went for it with the tile.
I haven't seen crown molding tile in a long time.
Look at the trim work in here.
- The tile work, this is legit. - Yeah.
That took a lot of time.
Just because it took a lot of time does not mean it's good.
You know, it's kind of timestamped to the time period of the early 2000s.
It's just a lot. Like, how would you clean tile like that?
What are your thoughts on this bathroom?
We don't need the purple wallpaper,
we don't need the metallic-y paint on the ceiling.
- Okay. - Another chandelier.
We don't need the chandelier.
So what about tub/shower?
Do you have a preference? You want both?
I would love both.
- Okay. Yep, okay. - Okay.
And then you've got closet, closet.
- More closet. - Lots of walk-in closets.
Now, do you want us to keep this closet here?
Or would you rather it go to the bathroom? Or do you...
- I don't care. - Yeah.
There's so much storage that we don't have...
- That's amazing. - Yeah.
- That never happens. - No one ever says that.
We got really high ceilings,
I mean, this has got to be one of the bigger houses we've done.
And I'm really glad we aren't doing anything to the outside of the house
because everything we have to inside is a lot.
I just think we need to reconfigure everything in here.
You know, new flooring, tub, shower.
And we can get rid of the wallpaper
and do new vanity, new countertops, new lighting,
and configure it in a way that makes more sense.
- Yes. - It'd be amazing.
What else?
- Upstairs is the last room. - Okay.
- This is not your son's bedroom, right? - Nope.
No, that's very well done.
Oh, it's already done, okay.
- Oh, this is amazing. Look at the space. - Wow.
How fun. I love this.
So this is what? Just bonus? Like...
We're thinking playroom in the back,
- and then, like, TV/sitting area up front. - I love it.
What about the carpet?
A lighter color would be great.
- You wanna keep carpet though up here? - Yeah.
- That's a good call. - I think that's good for sound.
What about the color?
- It's really dark right now. - Yeah, it is really dark.
- And so a lighter color. - Yeah.
Okay, so Finley, is there anything that he really loves?
Or anything he's really into? Or liked from home?
- Yeah. - Yeah, he loves animals.
- He likes to watch his dad feed the birds, so. - Yeah.
We'll figure something out,
I just want it to be something fun, we love kid spaces.
So up here we're gonna replace the carpet, paint.
Create a little seating area for watching TV and hanging out.
And then a fun playroom for Finley.
- Perfect, love it. - Easy enough. Fun. Okay.
- Is there anything else? - Yeah.
We can check out outside.
- Out back? Sure - Yeah, let's go.
- All right. - Oh, this is so beautiful.
- Yeah. - Wow.
We have this beautiful yard,
but there's just not a lot going on back here.
We'd love, you know, to be able to grill, to be able to eat out here.
- Right. - Like, an outdoor space would be awesome.
This is constantly under the sun throughout the day,
so it heats up and makes it unbearable to really sit out here.
So the plan out here is to put in some more covered space.
We are going to add a little outdoor kitchen.
And make it a space that you guys can use,
like an extension of your home out here.
- Exactly. That'd be amazing. - Yes.
All right, well, got a lot of work to do.
- Got a lot of work to do, we can start right away. - We better get going.
- This one, um, was unexpected. - Mmm-hmm.
This house is clearly a custom home that was built for very specific tastes.
It's crazy, and funky, and eclectic, and weird, and it's big.
You know, this is one of the bigger houses we've remodeled.
We have a lot to do.
We'll see you guys soon.
- See you soon, okay. Bye, bye. - Thank you.
I think when we're done with this one,
the inside is going to be a reflection
of what the outside already is for them and their family, and it's gonna be great.
Jenny Marrs, let's do this.
All right.
Wow, Matt's here before us.
The outside of this house is amazing.
You know that most amazing part is
we're not touching the outside of this house.
Yeah, don't mess anything up, guys.
I'm excited about this one, there's a lot of space to work with.
This is a really big house, so it's gonna be really good.
Where's Tim at?
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, he's taking a break.
- I was thinking. - You were thinking?
If my wife was here, we'd call this the "Boom-boom room."
- Whoa, I didn't need to hear about that. - Whoa.
- Whoa. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
It's a little weird, but so is Tim.
This thing is nice.
Every time Tim calls me this is gonna come up.
Have you guys seen the kitchen yet?
Oh, yeah, wait till you see this.
Here she is.
- Here she is. - Jenny, look at this fan.
- I know. - The chandelier.
It is a train wreck in this kitchen.
I feel like we have to start with this right here.
It's not a train wreck, it's just different. Different isn't bad, Dave.
According to you, it's got ghouls on the wall.
- Do the honors please. - For the Pryor family.
Pryor family, let the...
...demolition begin!
- Whoo! - Let's go.
- We're being gentle. - Good.
We wanna salvage as much as we can because we wanna reuse that stuff.
Yep, yep.
We took it out in one piece.
Let's take the chandeliers down.
There's one. We're going to the next one.
Oh, this one's got a little girth to it.
- They like chandeliers these people. - Whoa.
Dropped a crystal.
Just step back real quick.
- Oh! - Whoa!
The chain broke!
Oh!
- Whoa! - Oh, my gosh!
Whoa!
I had it and then that chain snapped.
I'm glad you guys weren't standing there.
I know when you break a mirror it's seven years bad luck.
I don't know if there's anything with this crystal chandelier,
if there is I'm screwed.
Because there's like 8 million pieces of crystal that just shattered all over the ground.
Maybe it was the house that did it.
It's them ghosts in that wallpaper.
Ever since... Exactly what is was.
We got a little more cleanup in here.
Are we gonna take down this wall today?
- Open up the kitchen? - Yeah, let's start opening up.
You guys wanna work on cabinets there,
- I'll cut a line across here. - Yeah.
Whoo!
My gosh this insulation piled in here.
Whoever built this home did a really, really solid job on it.
I mean, to insulate interior walls, super expensive.
And most people don't do it because you get no gain other than sound.
But they were trying to keep the ghouls outta the rest of the house.
- Yeah. - And so they did their sound proofing.
Mwa-ha-ha! Imagine if you had to hear that all night.
Mwa-ha-ha!
No, look forward.
But now I know it's coming.
- Whoo, yeah! - Oh, my word, what a mess.
But it's gonna be great, look at this!
Open to the living room, it's gonna be amazing.
Let's get this fireplace mantle outta here.
Mwa-ha-ha!
- Oh, yeah. - There ya go, there ya go!
Oh, Tim, whoo!
- That is how it's done. - Whoa.
- I'm actually feeling really good about this house. - Mmm-hmm.
- But we haven't run into any major hiccups-- - Don't say that.
Oh, you don't wanna jinx us. We already dropped a crystal chandelier.
Oh, my gosh. You're right.
So I'm feeling really good about this house. Period.
This bathroom, there's a lot going on.
So, basically, everything needs to go.
- 'Kay. - We're just gonna start over.
I would love to save the cabinets,
but I'm not seeing how they're attached.
- Let's just take 'em down. - Okay.
You got it?
There was a lot of tile work done in this bathroom,
it's gonna take a really long time to get it up.
- Keep moving forward, pushing forward. - Yep.
All right, let's get this carpet up.
At the Pryor house, a lot of work has happened.
There has been literally 12,000 pounds of tile removed from this house.
We'll get the beam set in here to get this kitchen open to the living room.
In the bathroom, new electrical and cement board are going on.
We're also widening the entrance into the kitchen from the hallway,
it'll help things flow a bit more for the Pryors
from their dining room and let it lots more light.
Man, that little bit is gonna make a whole bunch of difference.
Hello.
Nice, I think this is good. You have more space to come in.
Love it. The beam looks good.
Really opened it up and makes it nice.
All right, so this is the way this is gonna layout, range.
- 'Kay. - You be the range.
I'll be the fridge. Cabinetry and island.
Tim, you're the island.
Somewhere about here?
- Perfect. I love it. - Oh, yeah, that looks good.
See?
- All right. - It'd be nice.
This kitchen is looking better already, it's open, but...
the wallpaper's still on the wall.
So once the wallpaper comes off it's gonna make me happy.
- Can I ask a question about the ceiling? - Yeah.
Can we just flatten it off and just hide that?
We don't have any other lighting.
Like, we don't have can lights,
can't get any lighting in here.
To do that, we'd have to move all the heating and air ducts.
We gotta get this done, that's really gonna complicate things.
We gotta get this done and I don't...
Like, it's all the framing, all the sheet rock.
We'll have pendants above the island,
but we don't have any other lighting.
Like, we don't have can lights,
can't get any lighting in here.
And we're gonna need a lot more lighting now that this kitchen's opened up.
We can fish lights down
from those, just come down the wall.
So we can get all the cans you want.
- Yeah. - Really? Yeah?
Yep, it's gonna take a little doing,
but it's more practical than dropping the ceiling.
Okay, yeah. Let's do three above the cabinets
and then three right in the middle.
- Okay. - All right. Love it.
I want to create a really modern fireplace front for Janine and Jeremy's house.
Chris! Hello.
Whoo, got some dust in here.
I'm going to meet with Chris who is our cabinet extraordinaire
and he's also our countertop fabricator.
I called you about Jeremy and Janine's fireplace.
I'm thinking, like, a really sleek fireplace surround,
that looks like marble,
but we use, like, a granite or a quartz so that it's more durable.
So it holds up against heat and all the other elements
that are gonna be in their living room.
Okay. Well, you wanna take a look and see what we got?
- Can we pick something out? Yeah, let's do it. - Are you wanting?
Maybe a little less movement than that.
Okay. Um, this here is more of a marble-y look.
No, I think that's too grey. Yeah, little too grey.
- Um, I've got a quartz. - Oh.
Very subtle tones, got a little bit of brown, but greys, whites.
Oh, that's kinda cool.
Just real simple and, like, clean.
Which I want 'cause I want the fireplace to be super clean.
So it would, basically, just kinda wrap the whole box
and then have another edge that's a little bit raised around that.
Just a little bit of dimension.
- Okay, perfect. - We'll get going on it.
- I'll leave you to it. Okay, bye. - Okay, see ya.
Man, that's heavy. Why do I always walk backwards?
Why do you always pick doors that are so heavy?
Tim and I are about to install this giant door.
- You ready? - Yep.
Janine and Jeremy want things to flow a bit more from their living room to the back patio,
so we're replacing a window with a door.
Like a glove.
It's gonna look amazing.
You get this covered porch out here, beautiful door to go out to it.
Oh, it's totally different.
Just added like 300 square feet of usable space to this house.
- Fill the brick in. - It looks sharp, really good.
- Ah, look at this door. - Lookee there.
I love it. Ooh, the sun is shining, it's awesome.
This giant door looks beautiful, we are rolling.
And now, we're gonna start putting on that back porch.
By pouring a huge new patio
that'll give the Pryors a brand-new outdoor dining space.
All of the framing is done inside and drywall is going up.
While both the living room and kitchen walls are being prepped for texture
in order to cover up that spooky wallpaper.
We have a lot of work to do to get all the floors to match,
but when those are finished we'll have a nice uniformed look throughout the house.
There is a time crunch. We gotta get this thing done, so we got all hands on deck.
There's nothing worse than redoing work that has already been done.
What happened?
- We had a bunch of wind last night, so. - Ooh, man.
I just... It's gonna be a wet mess
- if we don't restack it all. - Ugh!
I was gonna see if we could talk about the playroom for the Pryors.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- So-- - That's way more fun than this, let's do that.
So the Pryors have a really cool bonus room above the garage.
And we are going to create a space
where they can hangout as a family, watch movies, relax.
The back half of the room is gonna be a really fun play space for their son.
- Okay, he likes animals. - Yep.
- He came from a seaside town. - Okay.
And then I thought we could have a big boat
that he can climb in, they said he loves to climb.
We can have rope that he can climb up to get in the boat.
I mean, it's been done before.
- Yeah. - With more rudimentary tools.
- That's true. - So I think I can figure it out.
It's got to look like a boat, but it needs to function like a play space.
What if we do it like a pirate ship?
If you have a tall back that bends around like that, right?
'Kay.
And it kinda goes and it tapers down.
- I could maybe do, like, a seat in the back. - Mmm-hmm, yeah.
And then I could take 1/4 inch plywood
- and bend it. - Oh, yeah, there ya go. Just like that.
Bend it up to there.
You know, the round captains wheel.
- Nice ladder coming up. - Yeah.
The mast with the sail on, the rope ladder that can be thrown over the side.
If you mess it up I'll make you walk to plank.
I couldn't do my accent.
Walk the plank, Matey.
No?
I'll leave you to it.
What if you go grab the kids and stack the rest of the wood while I'm building this?
Do it right the first time you never have to do it again.
Oh, I'm sorry, Dad.
Wait, you are a dad.
Love you. All right.
I'm going to get the frame, the base, all of that done.
This will essentially be the side of my boat, and then it'll bend
to a point right at the front edge of the bow.
Whatever I do to one I've got to match and do to the other,
so I'll nail these together and cut it one time, so both sides perfectly match.
So I think we go out two feet.
That's my ship.
All right, grab a jigsaw then we've got the two sides of the boat done.
These two will clamp together, we will bow out from the center,
like that, and I'll build the seats up above,
put the sail in the middle.
It's gonna be awesome.
All right, I'm gonna go get some plywood and we'll start the base.
At the Pryors we're getting to work updating the existing fireplace
with a new facade and sleek modern trim.
And we're adding clean lines to the bathroom with new vanities
and tile flooring that better aligns with the Pryor's modern style.
And the covered porch is coming along nicely.
It's gonna be a huge improvement
that'll give Janine, Jeremy, and Finley a beautiful outdoor living area.
It's going good.
Ready?
- Here we go. - Ahh!
Fall is in the air,
and it's the perfect day for Luke and I to put in some swing time.
Ahh!
Jenny is always saying, "Be careful. Don't push Luke too high in the swing."
I am careful, but here's the problem,
Luke always wants to go higher.
You're going too high.
I think I've gotten you as high as you'll go.
Don't push that shoe off.
I knew you were gonna do that.
Good catch. Give me five!
Yeah.
Let's not tell you mom that you just fell off, okay?
There's been a lot of progress here at Janine and Jeremy's house,
but there's still a lot to do for this big renovation.
Inside, our custom hood and kitchen cabinetry
have been built and are being installed.
The roof on the giant covered patio is nearly finished.
And we're doing brick work around the newly installed double patio doors.
We've got Tim, Matt, and I working on
getting the rest of the beautiful white oak flooring in.
And we should have that finally finished up by the end of the day.
Look at that.
Isn't it amazing having one consistent floor
- just in this space makes it look so much bigger. - Yeah.
And being light.
- Yeah. - It's not dark anymore.
- You want a full piece there, Tim? - Yeah.
Throw that one in.
- Hey, babe. - Hey.
Hi. It looks good.
Pretty. Nice and light.
I was gonna see if you guys wanted to talk about this outdoor patio.
Can I steal you for a minute?
Can I steal you for a minute to bring you lunch outside?
Hey, Tim, we gotta go talk about this outdoor patio.
Imagine that, when the works involved y'all leave.
- Look at this. - Look at this.
I know, it looks so good.
This back porch, it is framed out,
the roof is on, it looks amazing.
So I was talking to Janine
she would love to do something special for Jeremy, which I love.
He and their son feed the birds and it's, like, that's their thing together.
So I was thinking, what if we do some sort of bird feeder out here?
I like that.
What if we do, like, a longer, wider bird feeder?
You could do a little bath in the center,
you can do the buffet on each side,
we can center it right on the door, so then they can see it.
We need to make this birdhouse match the existing house
which is really pretty and really cool.
Which has now become the bird feeder/ bird bath/birdhouse.
- Bird mansion, if you will. - a bird mansion now.
Okay. And then let's talk about this patio.
So are we gonna have any sort of place for the grill?
We have gas there, so we could run gas out.
- Never have to fill the tank again, I love that. - That's nice. Okay.
Could we just do brick so it matches the house?
Yeah, I think that would look good.
So just, like, a brick faced, but soapstone or some kind of hard surface on the top,
and set the grill into it? Really, truly built-in.
- Yeah, perfect. Okay. - That's all you need.
So outdoor kitchen, bird feeder?
Outdoor kitchen, bird feeder.
- All right, we gotta get back to work. - Okay.
- All right. - So you really didn't bring lunch?
No.
At Janine and Jeremy's everything is really coming together,
but the Pryors wanna move in soon and there's still a lot to do.
We're brightening up the upstairs kids playroom with a fresh coat of paint.
While downstairs we're making this kitchen both modern and homey
by painting the island and cabinets a nice deep shade of teal.
In the bathroom beautiful green tile is being installed
that will make the shower much more serene.
And the newly installed fireplace surround, that I had Chris make,
gives the living room a more streamlined feel.
In the backyard final touches are being put on the new outdoor kitchen.
And the patio roof is finally complete.
This'll give the Pryors an outdoor living area with lots of shade
where they can cook, hangout, and feed the birds with their son Finley.
- So who wants to be on my team? - Get your game face on.
After a long day of work, sometimes you just don't feel like cooking.
So we're at a local restaurant hanging out with the kids
and letting them run around and play.
Can't get me.
- Wow. - He just sunk it.
Just got back from a cross-country meet.
The boys worked their butts off.
- They did, they worked really hard. - So let's celebrate.
All right, little help.
Sit down, please.
Every year it just seems like it's going faster and faster, the kids are so busy.
And so just to stop for a little while
sit down together, have a fun night out.
- Um, it's just... It was good. Good night. - Yep, really good.
Sylvie and I have round two. Who wants to challenge us?
- Me and Mommy. - You ready for round two?
At Janine and Jeremy's, we're so close on this one.
We special ordered a luxurious, handmade,
stone bathtub for Janine to soak in and it's finally here.
We're going with quartz countertops
because they look sleek and they're low-maintenance.
And we're adding finishing touches, like new LED can lighting
and new brass plumbing fixtures.
It looks so good. So modern, and clean, and updated.
I mean, it feels more like Janine and Jeremy.
- Wow. - Are you kidding me.
- Oh, my gosh. - No way.
It's beautiful.
I love it.
So Jenny had the great idea to make some birdhouses for Jeremy and his son.
Something they love to do every morning, they go out, they feed the birds.
And they are from Seattle, so we're gonna make a birdhouse,
but we've taken it to the next level.
I'm gonna make the Space Needle into a bird feeder,
and we're gonna make a bird city.
So the Space Needle kinda...
goes like an arc, like a bow would do.
Yeah.
I wanna use this old barn wood because it'll last them a long time.
So that will be leg number one.
I'm gonna mark my other three,
and then I'll put these together in a square,
and then just start building it from there.
- Dave Marrs. - Oh, hey.
So let me show you the Space Needle.
Yay! Okay.
- So I'm thinking this piece right here... - Uh-huh.
we'll put a round, like the circles of the Space Needle,
- that'll be the bird feeder. - Oh, cute.
And then I'll make little birdhouse skyscrapers right next to it.
I also need you to do the Fish Market in Seattle.
Like a little building like this with, like, the billboard kinda sign,
and I'll get letters and put Fish Market.
- And the clock. - I like it.
There might even be birds that fly south for the winter
from Seattle just to come live here.
Have you been to the Fish Market?
When you order a fish they throw it to you, it's just fun.
- Can I get a salmon? - Oh, coming your way! See ya.
Just a few doors.
This kitchen looks amazing.
Hi. Looks good.
I love, I love. Okay.
- We're ready. We are ready. - Looks good.
This kitchen is done.
The way that we were able to open it up to the living room...
- Mmm-hmm. - ...with the cabinets, with the island,
it just flows really well right now.
I know the Pryors are gonna love it.
How do you wanna place it in here?
Well, let's just get it over there.
Ooh, ooh, slipping. It's slipping.
The ship is so cute, their son is gonna love it.
- Give it a test fit. - All right.
- I love it. - Permission to come aboard.
Permission granted.
We've gotta put the sail on it, I'm gonna make a little rope ladder
that flips out to the side,
- but other than that, it looks really good. - Yeah.
You got the bird seed?
- I got it, babe. - Okay.
I'll spread her around and we're ready.
- Ready, ready. - Love it. Oh, my gosh, it's so cute!
Jeremy and Janine, I know they're excited to get back here
because they literally just moved here from Seattle,
haven't gotten to live in their house.
- Last few plants, babe. - 'Kay, perfect.
We are finishing up the last few things.
We're ready to bring them back home.
- Fireplace looks good, doesn't it? - Doesn't it looks so good.
- So clean, modern. - Yep. I love it.
The inside of the house just did not reflect Jeremy and Janine
or what the outside of this house looks like.
It was very different than what we normally see
and it had a lot of challenges.
This bedroom is amazing.
So cozy, right?
The inside before was, it was really loud, there was a lot going on.
There were a lot of bright colors, and patterns,
and now the house has just this calming feeling to it.
- All right, babe, just right here in the corner? - Yeah.
Lean the little guy driving.
So cute!
- Everything's ready now. - Yeah.
It looks so good.
And they are going to love it, I just know they are.
- You excited? - I'm so excited.
It's, like, right around this corner.
And you're driving really slow.
Taking my time. I'm sucking it all in.
Oh, I see Jenny and Dave.
So exciting. Let's go.
- How's it going? - Hi!
Wow, this is a very long walkway.
Welcome back home!
- Yes, thank you. - We're so excited.
- Good to see ya. - You too.
All right, well, let's go see your house.
We didn't do much on the outside because it looks perfect as is.
But we did a few things on the inside though.
- Okay? - Can't wait. This is it.
All right.
- Oh, my gosh. - No way.
- Wow. - Are you kidding me.
Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my gosh. - No way.
- Wow. - Are you kidding me.
Oh, my gosh.
- This is completely... - Oh, it's so much brighter.
Oh, I love it.
Oh, my gosh!
The fan?
Yeah, I love the fan!
And the floors are perfect.
So the flooring is durable, for dogs and kids,
and it's light and just feels a lot more modern.
And of course, the fireplace!
We took off the giant mantle and hearth
and just kept this super clean and modern.
We had this piece fabricated, and so it just really feels
like this elegant living room that is so warm and cozy as well.
Oh, I love it. It's so clean looking.
This is so much more than I expected!
It's like something out of a magazine.
- You know? It's beautiful. - Yes.
And the other thing we did out here was open up the wall
going into the kitchen.
And now these two spaces just flow so nicely.
Completely blown away.
I'm surprised you were able to remove that much wall.
- Yes! - Doesn't it look good?
Yeah, it looks so good!
It's so open!
This will be an easier space for you guys to live in!
- And they can be out here playing... - Yes.
...and you can be in the kitchen,
and you'll be able to really all still be together.
This is amazing. Thank you.
You wanna go check out the kitchen?
- Yeah! - Yeah.
All right, after you guys!
Oh, my gosh.
So you guys have a nice big island now,
- new countertops... - It's gorgeous.
...that are quartz so it's indestructible,
- which is always important. - Nice.
Big sink.
- Yes! Yeah. - Yup.
There's tons of storage.
You know, with your island, you've got all the storage behind,
- so you have storage all underneath. - Both sides, yup.
Um, on both sides.
We opened this up as well,
which opens it up to the dining room,
lets a little bit more light in.
I love it. And the light!
They're beautiful!
So much better than red.
- Yes, yes! - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- And the red ceiling fan? - Yeah.
Yup.
- I mean, we could only go up from where we started with it. - Yeah.
This is great. I love it.
- We have more spaces. - What do you think? We have more.
What do you guys want to do?
- You wanna go see your room and bathroom? - Yeah?
Your bedroom we just did a refresh.
- Ooh, paints... - Wow!
Wow!
This is a refresh!
It's beautiful!
But the paint makes a huge difference.
Yeah. We had the... several colors
- of paint! - Yes!
- Right? - Yes!
And this is a huge room.
We have an entire sofa in here.
I mean, this space to me is really cozy.
You've got the light coming in.
I feel like that's a perfect little spot in the morning to sit
and read or have Finley come in and snuggle
- and read a book at night, you know? - Yeah.
It is a really sized room,
and you just needed a little touch up.
- Yeah, a little love. A little love! - It's great, I love it!
Okay, so you guys want to go check out your new bathroom?
- Yeah! - Okay.
You go first this time.
Oh, boy.
Does the door work a little better?
- Door works a little better. - All right, go for it.
- Whoa! - Wow!
Oh, my gosh!
You still have tons of space,
you have tons of countertop space,
tons of storage, new sinks, new lighting.
You got your walk-in shower.
Wow!
Two showerheads!
Oh, that's so nice.
A little cubby.
This is beautiful. I love the color.
Oh, good. I'm glad.
I love it too. It's one of my favorites.
- A green-ish, blue-ish... - Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, it's really cool.
- Look at the bathtub! - Oh, I love it!
This is actually a handmade tub.
- Oh, no way! - Oh, really?
Yes, it's amazing.
I just feel like it has that modern touch
in what can be kind of a traditional bathroom.
- So it's really beautiful. - Yeah!
- It's big enough where your knees don't get cold. - Yeah.
You know, right?
You ever like, "I'm gonna take a nice bath,"
- and your knees are just cold the whole time? - Yeah!
You're like, "Oh!"
So true.
Okay, so in here really, the biggest thing
was we got rid of all of that tile.
I mean, it was just a lot.
There was a lot going on in here.
So now it feels a lot calmer and it feels more cohesive,
and much more modern.
- Yeah. - It's amazing.
- Perfect. - We have a place for the whole family to hang out.
- Upstairs. - Yes. After you!
- Let's go. - After you guys.
- You go first this time. - Okay, can't wait.
Go on upstairs!
Oh, my gosh!
Wow!
- It looks like a totally different space! - This is amazing.
- This is all done! - Wow!
It used to be so dark before, and it was literally like a tunnel.
It's so much brighter!
I just feel like this is gonna be a spot
where you guys can do family movie nights
and just like hang out and really just relax.
Absolutely, and I see this play area.
Can we go over there?
- Yes, go! - Yeah!
Oh, my gosh, I love this!
Are these stenciled?
- Decals. - Oh, they're beautiful.
Finley's gonna ring this bell. Can I ring the bell?
- Yes, of course! - Please do.
You have to ring the bell!
So we thought, you know, this'll be a fun little space for Finley.
He can do, you know, color...
- He can just have his little... - Yes!
- It's perfect. - ...creative moment here.
And so we know you guys came from the Pacific Northwest,
where you were always near the ocean
- and there were whales and all the things. - Yes.
And so you also had told us
- that Finley loves animals. - Yes.
So we thought, you know, this'll be a fun little space for him
as kind of a nod to where you came from
but it's also just fun.
- So Dave built this little boat. - He... Are you serious?
- Yeah! - Oh, my gosh! Oh...
Thank you.
- We built that for Finley, so we thought... - Thank you.
Our three year old Luke tested out the boat.
- He loved it. - Oh, my God.
- Perfect. - It's a hit!
- So... - This is amazing!
- We cannot wait to see his face. - I know!
- Okay. - Okay, we have one more spot to show you guys, actually.
Downstairs, follow us.
Go check out your back patio.
All right.
- There's like-- - No way!
Oh, my God!
You guys are amazing!
You have a roof!
Yeah!
So much more space!
I love it!
I'm in shock.
Yeah, it's amazing.
The pergola was here before, which was really pretty,
but this I feel like is gonna be so much better used.
- Oh, yeah. - Give you protection from all the weather.
And I just think this is gonna be a space that you guys are gonna use a ton.
You have all this space, and you have a new, you know,
kitchen out here so you can grill.
We were able to tie in all the brick,
you have your French doors out.
I think this is an amazing space.
Oh, it looks awesome.
And the Space Needle!
- Oh, you noticed it! - No way!
We heard that you and Finley love to feed the birds
- together in the morning. - We do!
- So Dave built you a Seattle skyline! - No way!
- Thank you! - Oh, my gosh!
Epic bird city!
This is awesome!
Look at that!
What does it say?
- Oh, it says... - "Public Mar..." oh, no way!
- I love it! - You guys are awesome, thank you!
- This is beautiful. - This is so cool!
Again, and we know you guys just moved here as a family,
- and we wanted to kind of honor where you came from. - Thank you.
- And I know it's a big move. - Yes.
- This is a huge move to come. - Big deal.
- Yeah. - Big difference.
So we just thought the tradition that the two of you share
which is so sweet, and be reminded of your hometown.
- Thank you. Yeah. - This is so cool!
This is a back patio fitting of this lot.
- Yeah. - I agree.
Thank you so much. This is amazing.
Yeah, we're gonna be out here a lot.
- Well, we will let you guys bring Finley home... - Yeah, go get Finley.
...and show him around.
Thank you so much!
- Take care guys. - Thank you!
I think when they bought this house,
it was just a little bit disjointed,
and it didn't feel at all like them.
- All right, bye guys! Enjoy! - Bye! Thank you!
And now you can see that it feels like them.
- Look at your new house! - Come on in.
What do you think?
And now they have this beautiful home to build a life here,
which is awesome.
Go on honey!
We just want someplace that we can relax and unwind
and you know, be our family.
And it's perfect for that.
Ring the bell!
It's an entirely new house.
It's unbelievable.
Everything's so thoughtful, you know, which we appreciate.
We got a bird city for you!
Did you see what Dave made?
I don't know if it feels like my home yet,
I think I might need a few weeks of living there,
- 'cause it just seems too good, but it's wonderful. - Yeah.
We got a lot of work to do with feeding these birds now.
Yeah, you got a lot of seeds to put in that little hole.
We've got to fill these houses!
