00:00All right, here we go.
00:02I'm so excited for them.
00:04Eric, Tracy, and their two kids need more room to roam.
00:08It's an older house, one bathroom,
00:10so I'm very much ready to expand.
00:13While they all share a love of nature and animals.
00:15What's your favorite animal?
00:16Sea Pads.
00:17They don't share the same style.
00:19I've always loved white farmhouse.
00:22I'm just not a big fan of white.
00:23I don't want to go much lighter than this, though.
00:25I'm leaning more towards, like, a French door style.
00:28French door.
00:29I am up for the challenge.
00:31Find a middle ground and compromise.
00:33Hopefully with some unique inspiration.
00:35We want to get all the details of the skin, the texture.
00:38The whole theme of this room, it's
00:40kind of tied into Gabby's imagination.
00:42We can build them a house that they both find fabulous.
00:45I hope they like these bright colors.
00:47Oh.
00:48Oh, man.
00:50Oh, man, Brian, this is looking good so far.
00:52Yeah!
00:53Mika and I build custom homes on fast timelines.
00:56We don't want to carry two mortgages for too long.
00:59Time is money.
01:00Ha, ha, ha!
01:00We're proof that construction and marriage can mix.
01:04Give me a sweaty hug.
01:05Ugh!
01:05We're still doing new construction.
01:07You ready to break some ground?
01:09But now we're taking bigger risks.
01:11Look at all that black mold behind that wall.
01:13I think we're going to do a shipping container house.
01:16Let's go!
01:17Making bolder decisions.
01:18Put your arm up here.
01:19Right.
01:22We've never put it in any other house.
01:24And always racing the clock.
01:26I can't believe they're going to be living inside of this
01:29in less than 100 days.
01:30This is amazing.
01:32Oh, I can already tell this one's going to be an adventure, Mika.
01:44We are in some nature.
01:46There you guys are.
01:47Welcome to our oasis.
01:49I love it.
01:50We have not done a home in Lithia yet.
01:52Lithia, I feel like, is unchartered territory.
01:55I don't think we took a main road to get here.
01:58And how big is this property?
01:59Five acres.
02:00We had a hard time finding this lot,
02:01so how did you guys find it?
02:03We were living in Ohio.
02:04I was working there at one of the zoos.
02:07I was raised in Florida, and I missed the warmth.
02:10So we started looking online at property
02:13and found this lot.
02:14So you were a zookeeper?
02:15Yeah, I worked as a zookeeper.
02:18And do you work for the zoo here in Tampa?
02:20No, I do not.
02:20I made a transition from the zoo world.
02:23Well, Lithia is full of wildlife,
02:25so you're going to feel right at home.
02:26Absolutely.
02:26And that's a big reason why we love this land and property.
02:30Did you guys meet in Ohio?
02:31No, we met in Tampa.
02:33We were actually lifeguards.
02:34Lifeguards, yeah.
02:35And we were paired up for the Heimlich Maneuver.
02:37And then started dating.
02:39Nature's been a big part of our life.
02:41I even proposed to her at an aquarium
02:44with some penguin friends.
02:45We have a daughter.
02:46Her name is Chloe, and she's six years old.
02:49She loves all things princesses.
02:52And of course, we have our little boy, Giovanni.
02:55He's three years old.
02:56He is very much like me when I was a kid.
02:58Just loves animals.
03:00So he loves dinosaurs, sharks.
03:02I'd love to hear about where you guys are currently living.
03:04What's working?
03:05What's not working there?
03:07Well, it's rent-free.
03:09That's working.
03:11It's actually my grandparent's home.
03:13It was left in our family, built in 1951.
03:16It's a smaller home, one bathroom.
03:18So I'm very much ready to expand.
03:21We've got a big space.
03:23What are some key features that you
03:25have to have in this new home?
03:26A single-story house.
03:28I would say about 2,000 square foot.
03:30Yeah, I think 2,000 square foot, four bedrooms.
03:33I like yoga and meditation.
03:35So definitely finding spots on the property
03:38that there's areas of calm and relaxation.
03:40What kind of style do you envision?
03:43For me, I've always loved farmhouse
03:45with white outdoor paint colors.
03:49Yeah, I don't want that at all.
03:52I'm just not a big fan of white.
03:54I mean, I know we have different tastes and colors.
03:57That's for sure.
03:58I'm not a big fan of browns.
04:01Green.
04:01Green.
04:02I don't know how you like green.
04:04I'd love for our home to kind of pop a little bit.
04:06Love the beach.
04:07I love the ocean.
04:08So I think something like coastal style, some blue.
04:11In most cases, when we're designing homes,
04:14it's going to be a hybrid of maybe more than one style.
04:17We want both of you to love the house.
04:19Yeah.
04:19Yes.
04:20OK.
04:21How much money have you guys saved up
04:23to build your dream home on your dream lot here in Lithia?
04:27500,000, but I probably want to be a little less than that.
04:30Well, we can't wait to get started, you guys.
04:32This is a beautiful property.
04:33So the next step in this process
04:35is we're going to do some inspiration tours
04:37because I need to really figure out what's going on
04:39with this coastal farmhouse.
04:41Maybe it's a hybrid.
04:42This is going to be so exciting.
04:44And maybe we do some yoga in between if we get any stressed out.
04:46Yeah, we're going to need it.
04:53Eric Tracy, y'all gave us a little bit of hints at the lot tour
04:57on what style you like, but you didn't have the same answer.
05:00I certainly have some strong dislikes, so, and some strong likes,
05:04some strong opinions, I guess.
05:06Don't hold back on any opinions today.
05:09I'm going to try to talk less and listen more.
05:11How boring would my job be if I had clients that agreed on everything?
05:16I am up for the challenge.
05:18Find a middle ground and compromise.
05:19And so far, baby, this record is undefeated.
05:22Really, Tracy, what you described was modern farmhouse,
05:25white and black exterior.
05:27This is definitely the epitome of a modern farmhouse.
05:30I'm just, no, I'm just not a fan.
05:33It's just so bright, too much white.
05:36I mean, I feel like I'm just trying to squint at it.
05:38I like aspects of it.
05:40It's very clean and simple, but it might be a little bit too white.
05:43OK, see, that's a surprise statement.
05:46And so when you describe farmhouse, what other elements is this missing
05:49that you were kind of envisioning?
05:51I think, actually, a little bit more pop of color.
05:53OK, thank you.
05:57Ding.
05:58And I do want to show you another exterior.
06:00Maybe it'll be closer to what you envisioned, so follow me.
06:03OK.
06:05So this house, it does have more of a coastal vibe
06:08from the metal roof, the pop of color on the shutters.
06:11I'm definitely a bigger fan of this house
06:13than the farmhouse look.
06:16I'm not a fan of the column trimming.
06:20OK.
06:20Is there any kind of materials that you want to see?
06:22For me, keeping it simple, clean lines.
06:25As long as we have a bit of color involved, I'm OK with that.
06:29I love the ocean, so I am digging that pop of blue with the shutters.
06:33I really am enjoying that.
06:34The real question is, is Tracy liking that pop of color?
06:37Maybe on the front door instead of the shutters?
06:42Got to make it really pop, then.
06:44All right, let's go check out the inside.
06:46OK.
06:47Got to talk a lot about floor plan, layout, and design decisions.
06:51You like how you kind of have a separation here.
06:54You're landing before you get into the house.
06:56This is a little cramped.
06:57Definitely, I think we're thinking, what, more open, right?
07:00I love when you both agree on something.
07:02Let's see how much more you will agree on today.
07:05Yeah, we'll see.
07:06We'll see.
07:07Oh, boy.
07:11All right, you guys.
07:12Right from the get-go, you walk in.
07:14But it's actually one big open space.
07:16So what do you think about this?
07:17I kind of want to be almost more open,
07:19be able to almost have it completely open to the back of the house, perhaps.
07:23Ah, so you almost want to see your backyard
07:25from when you walk in through the front door.
07:27Mm-hmm.
07:27I think we should go check out the main spaces.
07:29That's good.
07:31Tracy, I think you're going to like me for bringing you to this kitchen.
07:34Got the white cabinets, the white countertops, even the light fixtures.
07:40I think it might be a little bit too much white.
07:44I think I might actually like some color.
07:45Yeah, look at that.
07:47I'm, that's awesome.
07:50I can see where different style homes can also be cozy and simple.
07:56And I think I can maybe compromise on transitioning
07:59to maybe a coastal cottage.
08:02That's great.
08:04That makes me happy.
08:05But not a lot of color.
08:06Maybe something a little subtle.
08:08What are your thoughts as far as like this overall layout?
08:11I do like a smaller island.
08:13I do like that there's a table on the other side of the island.
08:16Yes.
08:16The color scheme, maybe not.
08:18But as far as layout, we can kind of mimic this footprint and the flow of the house.
08:22Yeah.
08:22Ready to see some more?
08:23Let's do it.
08:26Okay, so let's talk about what colors you want in the kitchen.
08:28Color doesn't necessarily mean the purples, blues, reds.
08:31It could just be a splash of a wood tone.
08:33It could be using different metal finishes, even light fixtures.
08:37I think I like the wood look, but maybe not so dark.
08:41See, we're getting close then.
08:43Yeah.
08:43We have access to the outdoor lanai from here.
08:46Yeah, the idea of having doors opening to a lanai area, I like that a lot.
08:50I grew up with sliding doors, so I'm leaning more towards like a French door style.
08:56French door?
08:58It's a slider, so easy to open.
09:01Eric, so Tracy, she has compromised a lot today.
09:05So is there any way that you can give Tracy her French doors?
09:08Um, gosh.
09:10We have the pocket sliders so the outdoor lanai, so they can open up the whole wall.
09:17I like that.
09:18I would love French doors.
09:20French door?
09:23Um.
09:23Eric, she has compromised a lot today.
09:26So is there any way that you can give Tracy her French doors?
09:31Gosh.
09:33Well, I mean, French doors, to me, that's a compromise I can make.
09:37Nice.
09:38Are you ready to see some more?
09:39Let's do it.
09:40All right.
09:40Come on.
09:42You know we can't forget about the kids.
09:44I might try to see if they want to pick out their own colors for their bedroom.
09:47My parents never would have let me do that.
09:49I really think that Eric and Tracy are doing a great job giving second thought to
09:53what their family really needs.
09:55Part of your wish list was an activity room for the family.
09:58Half the size of this room.
09:59More for the kids to play in.
10:02Inspiration tours are crucial.
10:04I do want a tub.
10:05Um.
10:06Oh, I like how she just threw that in there, Eric.
10:08Yeah, with the jet, yeah.
10:09Seeing these couples work together and figure out what their dream home is going to look like.
10:13That's a win.
10:14Let's go.
10:15Try to make sure y'all are both happy.
10:16You must be Chloe.
10:28I'm Brian.
10:30I'm Mika.
10:32You must be Giovanni.
10:34Nice to meet you, sir.
10:37Hey, Chloe, what are your dog's names?
10:39That's Rolo and that's Eva.
10:42Eva and Rolo.
10:44So this is the house that has been in your family for generations since 1951.
10:48I bet you have some good memories visiting this house.
10:50Yes, lots of memories.
10:51But it's time to start some new memories in your own house.
10:54Yes, it's time to move out.
10:56Okay, yeah, give you guys more than one bathroom, more than one family room area.
11:00All right, kids, we would love to know what you guys want in your dream bedroom.
11:05Chloe, why don't you show us your current room?
11:07Yes.
11:08All right, follow you, follow you.
11:09All right, let's check it out.
11:12Oh, my gosh.
11:14Whoa.
11:15Chloe.
11:16Chloe, the colors in here make me smile.
11:18I'm also seeing a lot of, like, animals.
11:20What's your favorite animal?
11:21Glass.
11:22What about Giovanni's room?
11:23Should we take a little peek?
11:25Oh, my goodness.
11:27I see a lot of dinosaurs.
11:30What's your favorite dinosaur?
11:31Do you love T-Rex?
11:35Are you guys ready to see what we came up with for your house?
11:37Yes.
11:38Yeah, it's a floor plan.
11:39We would love to.
11:40All right.
11:40All right, you guys stay here and play.
11:42Okay, have fun, kiddos.
11:43No, no, no, he's from me.
11:44What's here?
11:45What's going on?
11:46All right, see you later.
11:48I got to say how much I love the artwork by Chloe and Giovanni.
11:52That's so cool.
11:53That's not their artwork.
11:54What?
11:55Yeah.
11:56Working at the zoo, I was able to, you know, get some paintings done.
11:59Hold on, those are paintings of animals?
12:02No, paintings created by the animals.
12:04Oh, the animals were the artists.
12:05Yes.
12:06Okay, wait, hold on a second.
12:07Explain.
12:08This was painted by an elephant.
12:10This is their tail right here.
12:12And I see she used her little trunk print.
12:15We feel pretty good about our artwork as well.
12:17Are you ready to see the blueprints for your dream home?
12:20Yes.
12:20You wanted that farmhouse and you wanted kind of that coastal flair.
12:24I feel like this is the best of both worlds.
12:26It's a very classic look.
12:28We mix it up a little bit with the textures.
12:30So this is all going to be stucco and then lap siding up here on the gable.
12:34You liking what you're seeing so far?
12:35Wow.
12:36I love it.
12:37That's fantastic.
12:38You guys ready to go inside the house?
12:39Yes.
12:41So when you walk in your front door, you're going to be right in the living space.
12:44So you've got your great room, your kitchen, and your dining.
12:47It's all one big space.
12:48That's awesome.
12:49Okay.
12:49Yeah.
12:50The other really important factor was the layout of where the bedrooms are going to be
12:54for Giovanni and Chloe.
12:57So they're going to have their rooms here to the left side of the house.
13:00The activity room, we wanted to give them their separate space,
13:03but open to the great room and the kitchen.
13:06So you guys can kind of keep an eye on them.
13:09Um, yes.
13:10Do we need to have to have it open?
13:12Could we, could we put a wall there?
13:14You want to block the kids out?
13:15I think, I think yes.
13:18We can definitely add a wall here.
13:19Yeah.
13:20The nice thing too is you guys are going to be on the other side of the house.
13:24I think one of the biggest things that was important is having that nice spa-like bathroom.
13:28You've got the dual vanities.
13:29You've got the soaking tub.
13:31A soaking tub?
13:32For real?
13:33Love that idea.
13:34That's awesome.
13:35We know how much you guys love the outdoors.
13:37So we gave you access from the main bedroom and the dining room, French doors, back out to
13:43the lanai where you can look at that beautiful five acres that you guys fell in love with.
13:47This all in all is just a little bit over 1,800 square feet.
13:50Most importantly though.
13:51You guys said you did not want to go over $500,000, so we actually came in under.
13:58$485,000.
13:59That's great.
14:00Yeah.
14:00You guys feel good?
14:01I feel good.
14:02No turning back now.
14:03We just need to figure out which wall is going to be the animal art gallery.
14:07Oh, okay, yeah.
14:16I'll bring it all through.
14:18All this pink stuff, it's all weeds.
14:20It's all vines and weeds.
14:23Keep coming.
14:23Hey.
14:24Hey, there he is.
14:26You look good in pink vines.
14:30Hey, there's the lot.
14:32I knew it was under here somewhere.
14:35Yes.
14:37We're moving along nicely at Eric and Tracy's house.
14:44Slab is poured.
14:45Block is stacked.
14:46And today we are getting out of concrete and moving into lumber,
14:50which is always a good sign.
14:51That means progress is happening.
14:53We're framing all the interior walls where you're really going to see the rooms take shape.
15:03During the inspiration tours, I do think that
15:05we overcame some hurdles as far as color palettes and not just too white and an open concept.
15:11Your kitchen is kind of central focal point for that whole common area.
15:15And this is our forever dream home.
15:17So at least I want it to be quite exciting.
15:19Looking at what I kind of have out here today, what cabinet colors are you kind of gravitating towards?
15:23Oh, I can tell you what I'm definitely not liking.
15:30Okay, we can do this backwards, Eric.
15:33That's fine.
15:33Yeah, sorry.
15:34I don't like dark browns like that.
15:36Yeah, I definitely agree.
15:37I don't like this one.
15:39Maybe this one then?
15:40I think that's great.
15:41I think that the wood tone is nice, but still keep it a little bit light.
15:51You're not thinking white cabinets, are you?
15:54Yeah, it'd be nice.
16:02The wood tone is nice, but still keep it a little bit light.
16:06You're not thinking white cabinets, are you?
16:09Yeah, it'd be nice.
16:12Because you know my feelings about white, so I don't want to go much lighter than this,
16:18though.
16:18I mean, this has got nice wood tones.
16:20I like that one.
16:21You like that one?
16:22Yeah.
16:23We agree.
16:23Yeah.
16:24I love it.
16:25Then maybe for the top of the cabinets.
16:28For your countertops.
16:29Yeah, I think.
16:29Bringing in a little bit more design.
16:32Let me see.
16:33This one might be good.
16:34Kind of has a little bit of like a coastal vibe.
16:36It definitely has some detail in it, right?
16:39I love that.
16:40These two look great.
16:41Okay.
16:42I like that.
16:43Yeah.
16:43Nice.
16:44Okay, so we're making progress.
16:45I know we saw a couple houses during the Inspiration Tour where Tracy was convinced
16:49to kind of incorporate some color into the door.
16:52I'm wondering if we can figure that out today.
16:56So let's check out a couple of these samples.
16:58Let me know if anything speaks to you.
17:00I think this one.
17:04I mean, wow.
17:05I'm kind of shocked.
17:09Are we thinking we want to go a little bit more neutral on the main body color?
17:13I think if we're really trying to make this our forever dream home, it needs to reflect both of us.
17:20And I know you don't like white, so.
17:21I like the blue, but I think it's too dark.
17:24That's, I'm, great.
17:29This is amazing.
17:31I can't believe this.
17:32We got to get the right shade.
17:34What about this one is a tad bit lighter or this guy?
17:40Well, and I'm going to leave this one up to you.
17:42Oh, thank you so much.
17:45I think a lighter will be better.
17:46I think that looks fantastic.
17:48And, and I get my blue house.
17:50Yay!
17:51Since we're kind of on the topic of paint colors, do the kids want to do something kind of fun in their room?
17:56Yeah, I actually gave them three options.
17:58Some paint colors for your room to pick out.
18:03Which is your favorite?
18:04So Gio being like his dad, big fan of the blues.
18:08Chloe, she's really into Gabby's dollhouse these days.
18:11Oh my gosh.
18:12So she's loving the pink and the rainbows and anything cats.
18:15Okay, so the timing could not be more perfect.
18:19But I don't know if Chloe knew this, but Dreamworks Animation is about to release
18:23Gabby's dollhouse, the movie on the big screen.
18:26So this is like a perfect opportunity to really incorporate some cat-tastic features in this room
18:34and theme out that space for her.
18:35She's going to love it.
18:36Oh my gosh, yeah.
18:37Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
18:39Can you imagine?
18:40Oh my gosh.
18:41Gabby's dollhouse is all about big adventures, creativity, and just really fun, imaginative
18:47energies.
18:48And that's the feeling that I want Chloe to have when she steps into her room.
18:51I think it's going to look amazing.
18:53Yay.
18:54Yeah.
19:02You're going up.
19:03Today's trust day at Eric and Tracy's.
19:06Whoa.
19:07Hey.
19:07Hey, Walt.
19:09You know Eric used to be a zookeeper, right?
19:12Oh, really?
19:12We got to think of some good zoo jokes for this build.
19:15Hey, do you have any qualifications for it up there?
19:18You bet giraffe I do.
19:20Hey, bring the next one.
19:27All right, Walt, we're looking good up here.
19:28All right, cool.
19:30Back porch looks good.
19:32Hey, what is that?
19:33What?
19:36What do you see?
19:37There's something in the woods.
19:41I can't tell what it is.
19:43What in the world?
19:44You feel like going on a safari?
19:46Yeah, let's go check it out.
19:50Where is it?
19:51Keep going.
19:54How about that?
19:54What in the world?
19:57Did you know this was back here?
19:58No, I didn't.
19:59I'm assuming Eric and Tracy knew.
20:01And it doesn't look too old either.
20:03Somebody put some money into this.
20:04So what are you thinking?
20:05My mind is running wild.
20:07I've got millions of ideas, but you already know I got to run it by the boss first.
20:11Yeah.
20:12Hey, it's a good final.
20:13I know.
20:13This is nice.
20:14Another adventure.
20:20Man, y'all have been putting in some work over here.
20:23Framework looks really nice.
20:25I love this because now you can start feeling the spaces.
20:28I'm going to take a shortcut here.
20:29Okay.
20:29Well, you still can walk through the walls because I know drywall is going to happen pretty soon.
20:34Oh my gosh.
20:34What?
20:35Hey, before they get here, I got to show you something.
20:38Is it a good surprise or a bad surprise?
20:39It's awesome.
20:39Good surprise?
20:40Hurry, hurry, hurry.
20:40Oh boy.
20:41Hey, before they get here.
20:42Where are we going?
20:43A little safari, a little adventure.
20:44Why are you walking so far behind me?
20:45If somebody jumps out of one of these bushes, we're going to have a problem.
20:49What?
20:51What is this?
20:52I don't know what it was used for, but I have some ideas of what we can use it for.
20:57Do you remember what Tracy told us she likes to do?
21:00Oh, yes.
21:02She loves yoga.
21:03Tree pose.
21:06Please don't fall.
21:07Okay.
21:08Do you know what I love most about it?
21:09It's already done.
21:10It's already done.
21:11I like the idea of kind of spreading the special projects across a couple different spaces.
21:17Did you say projects plural?
21:20I think so because we have the activity room and then we want to make both the kids' rooms very
21:24personal and themed out too.
21:26Are they here?
21:26I think that was our car door.
21:28Oh, let's go check.
21:30Oh, yeah.
21:31Hello there.
21:32Oh, I like that.
21:34I went through the same way.
21:35What do you think?
21:37Oh, it's fantastic.
21:38It's looking amazing.
21:39All right, Eric and Tracy.
21:42Meek and I are a little upset at both of you.
21:47You guys want to tell us anything?
21:52Eric and Tracy, you guys want to tell us anything?
21:56The elephant in the woods.
22:00The big massive pavilion you never told us about?
22:02Oh, yeah, that's right.
22:05It was there when we purchased the property.
22:07The previous owner had built that, but really it's been kind of on the back burner.
22:11It's in great shape.
22:12Yeah.
22:13Do you have any ideas what you guys want to do with it?
22:15I would love to make it like a yoga space one day.
22:17We know it's there, but the main focus has been on the house.
22:21All right, we'll let you slide.
22:22I mean, you're right.
22:23That is the second dwelling.
22:24This is the most important one.
22:26We really need to figure out what you want to do in that activity space.
22:30I love how it's like right in between both of their bedrooms.
22:32So that makes so much sense.
22:33Our daughter really loves swinging.
22:35Okay.
22:36So that'd be great to bring in the indoors.
22:38And then our son loves climbing.
22:40So we're thinking like a little climbing wall of some sort.
22:43Almost like an indoor playground kind of deal.
22:46Maybe a little fun animal themes here and there too.
22:50Okay.
22:50All right.
22:51All right.
22:51I think we're on the same wavelength.
22:52I've said too much.
22:52Yeah.
22:53Are you guys excited?
22:54We're halfway there.
22:55Yes.
22:55Right.
22:56He got giddy.
22:57You?
22:57Sorry.
22:58Eric got giddy.
22:59It's going to be before you know it.
23:00After talking to Eric and Tracy today, you know what this calls for?
23:03One of my favorite days in school was when we went on a field trip.
23:07I was thinking the same thing.
23:08And I feel like a field trip to the zoo would educate us, inspire us, and give us a better
23:13idea of how we really want to theme out this space.
23:16This activity space is going to be fun.
23:17It really is.
23:18I think the kids are going to love it.
23:19Kids, what about me?
23:20Oh boy.
23:21Watch this dismount.
23:22Oh!
23:23All right.
23:23So seeing something like that, hanging out.
23:30Jay, keep your eye on a swivel.
23:31And we need the best photographs that you can take of every animal.
23:36We're actually finding inspiration at the zoo for our special project mural in the activity room.
23:42Mother Nature has been one of the best designers since the beginning of time.
23:45Rhino Reserve.
23:46Oh my God.
23:46I see him right there.
23:47I do.
23:48Okay.
23:48I've never seen one this close.
23:50They are massive.
23:51They are.
23:52Recently, I started getting into photography a little bit.
23:55I'm not saying I'm great at it, but I do like taking photos.
23:58I think it's cool.
23:59So Jade, my only advice for you today is stay focused.
24:03Oh, okay.
24:05We want to get all the details of the skin, the texture.
24:08Hey, look how long the eyelashes are.
24:09Oh my gosh.
24:11Details are going to be important because we are working with a homeowner
24:14that was a professional zookeeper, so he's going to know.
24:17Nice.
24:18All right.
24:18You ready to see some more?
24:19Yeah.
24:20Photo Safari continues this way.
24:23Oh my God.
24:24Jade, look.
24:24The elephants.
24:25Oh, wow.
24:26Aren't they really peaceful animals?
24:27Gentle giants.
24:29I love it.
24:30Oh my gosh, look.
24:31Oh my gosh.
24:31These are the pygmy hippos.
24:32Oh my gosh, they're so cute.
24:34Mother and daughter, mother and daughter.
24:36How'd it turn out?
24:37Not bad.
24:38Oh man, it's so cute.
24:40That is the hair color I've been trying to achieve for the last couple years too.
24:44Jade, he's posing for you.
24:47Oh, look at him swinging.
24:48He's showing off.
24:49This could be inspiration for the climbing wall we're going to do for the kids.
24:54Good thinking, Brian.
24:54Good thinking.
24:55Oh, is that your girlfriend?
24:58Oh my gosh.
24:59That's actually so cute.
25:00I think the orangutans are my favorite.
25:02Oh, they're cuddling.
25:04Jade, did you get some good photos?
25:05Yeah, I did.
25:06I feel like we need to give them some privacy.
25:08Yeah, I think so too.
25:09I think it's Mika.
25:24Oh gosh.
25:41Hello?
25:42Hey, where are you?
25:43I saw you pull up.
25:44Hey, where are you?
25:45I saw you pull up.
25:46Well, I was trying to get into my zen mode.
25:52I'll be in in a couple minutes.
25:53I have a feeling I know where you are.
25:55Oh boy, well, take your time signing me.
25:57Am I getting warmer?
26:00Am I getting warmer?
26:01Unfortunately.
26:04Hi, Brian.
26:05I'm definitely getting wetter.
26:06Shh.
26:07When you enter this area, this is all about peace, serenity, and most importantly,
26:16silence.
26:16The opposite of the construction site.
26:19I know.
26:20I am far from a yoga expert.
26:21I mean, I've taken a couple of classes.
26:23I do feel like it helps you like just slow down a minute and breathe.
26:27Where's your ladder?
26:28I don't know.
26:29So you haven't done anything out here yet.
26:31So we really want to put some finesse and relaxation and some nice design details on this pavilion.
26:37Did I go get this ladder for nothing?
26:39Actually, no, I think I'm going to need it because here's my thought.
26:42Yeah, what do you think?
26:43So we've got eight of these.
26:44We're going to do two in each corner, right?
26:46You think you can do it without the ladder?
26:47Yeah.
26:47Can you see above that?
26:48Yeah, you want to kind of go over the top like this?
26:50Make sure that it's not.
26:51You're not going to see it on the other side, right?
26:52You better move your finger.
26:53Okay, yep.
26:54You're good.
26:58Hang on.
26:58Do you have staples in here?
26:59Oh, I don't know.
27:01I really do feel like sometimes with a small budget, you can make a big impact.
27:05We didn't spend a ton of money on the fabric, but I think it's going to make a huge difference.
27:10Oh yeah, this is going to look great.
27:12So if we can get this done, I can get back to my zen because you did kind of interrupt my session, so.
27:17You interrupted my cabinet session.
27:19You know what?
27:19I'm going to close the curtain.
27:20I'm going to close the curtain, but we're going to finish these.
27:22See you later.
27:32Let's get out of the rain.
27:33Oh man.
27:33Yes.
27:34Glad we got a roof.
27:35The accent wall looks awesome.
27:37They're going to love it.
27:38Whoa!
27:39What's going on?
27:41What's up, Carlton?
27:41How y'all doing?
27:42How y'all doing?
27:43It's coming to life.
27:44What do you think?
27:45This is so much fun and so unique.
27:47I've never seen a mural done like this before.
27:50You know what I think I'm most excited about is to see Jade's photography come to life.
27:55She did such a great job.
27:56It almost feels like the animals are coming out of the wall.
27:58Oh my God.
27:59Is that Eric?
28:00Yes it is.
28:01Look at him.
28:01The kids are going to love that.
28:03Am I allowed to touch it?
28:04You can dig your nails right into it.
28:05It's not wet.
28:06Perfectly dry.
28:07So we utilize the UV ink.
28:09And if you look right here at this print that we have going on, you see that blue light?
28:12Yeah.
28:13That's the lamp that's curing it at this printing.
28:14That stops it from running.
28:15That's how we can get such fine detail.
28:17I mean, this is so cool.
28:18We've done almost everything you could think of to cover a wall except this.
28:24I love innovative new ways to add personality into the spaces.
28:29With this new technology, I mean, you can pretty much take your favorite photo,
28:33your favorite artwork, put it on the wall, but also get those fine details.
28:38What's going on this wall right here?
28:40Oh, look.
28:41I see a giraffe butt.
28:43So on here we have giraffe, pygmy hippo, lion.
28:46Oh my.
28:47Some monkeys.
28:49Oh my, right?
28:50What does it take like to finish a whole wall?
28:53This took two hours.
28:54It's not bad.
28:55This one will take two hours, five minutes.
28:57If we tried to paint this, it'd be more like two weeks.
28:59With this detail?
29:00Yeah.
29:01The mural is kind of like our base layer.
29:03And then we're going to start building on that and climbing on that.
29:07I love the climbing wall.
29:08We're going to put the tree.
29:09It's going to be a really cool interactive space for Gio and Chloe.
29:12Thank you so much for lending your creativity.
29:26We are climbing to the peak of the mountain.
29:29We have countertops going in.
29:30The plumbers are here.
29:31I can hear the tile guys cutting.
29:33We're, of course, working on the climbing wall, but still a long way to go.
29:37Five-year-old Brian is very jealous of this.
29:40Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to do this, because let's see.
29:44Okay, so if I'm here, dang, one reach, I'm already at the top.
29:51Well, here's the problem.
29:52I'm six foot four, and I have to figure out how a little kid is going to get from
29:57the bottom of this climbing wall all the way to the top.
30:00Hey, Brian.
30:02I know I look like I'm lying down on the job, but I'm working.
30:04You're almost to the top.
30:05I know I brought a little helper.
30:09What you got?
30:10We need all the help we can get, my friend.
30:12Oh, I brought a little helper.
30:18What you got?
30:19We need all the help we can get, my friend.
30:21Oh, yes, a climbing helper.
30:26All right, Lydia.
30:27We're trying to figure out the proper steps to go up this rock climbing wall.
30:32Do you know how to climb?
30:34All right, so I've got the first step here.
30:37Get your left foot up there.
30:38And then, hey, we actually have to climb the wall.
30:40I need to figure out where the right foot would go.
30:42There you go.
30:44You're already doing a better job than me.
30:46Okay, so where do you think you're, like, naturally, where would your right foot go?
30:50Ooh, here, Brian.
30:51Like there?
30:52Here.
30:52Okay.
30:54Okay, you're probably ready for right hand.
30:57Okay.
30:58Is that good there?
31:00What feels more natural, left arm or left foot going up?
31:02Arm.
31:03Arm.
31:04Just do that.
31:04Hurry up.
31:06Hurry up.
31:07Hey, put your arm up here.
31:08Or how about over here?
31:09No.
31:10No, over here.
31:11Yeah.
31:12Yeah, mark that one.
31:14Okay.
31:14You think of one here?
31:15Uh, you think, think, right here?
31:20Right there?
31:20Okay, got it.
31:23That's the one there.
31:24Okay, one here.
31:26And then touch all the time.
31:28All right, so we got those marked.
31:29You want to slide down?
31:32All right, Lydia, you ready?
31:42Mm-hmm.
31:42The true test.
31:43Come on.
31:44We believe in you.
31:46Come on, Lydia.
31:47Push up on this one.
31:48And get your foot up here.
31:49Put your left one over there.
31:49There you go.
31:49There you go.
31:50There you go.
31:51I got you, okay?
31:52Good job.
31:53Look at you.
31:54Go, girl, go.
31:56Yes, you got it.
31:57You got it.
31:57You got it.
31:57Okay, now, can you touch the ceiling?
32:00Touch the ceiling.
32:00Touch the top.
32:01Touch the top.
32:01Yes!
32:02Yes!
32:03Hey, when you're up there, can you fix that little piece of drywall?
32:05What?
32:06I'm kidding.
32:07Come on down.
32:07You did awesome.
32:09Thank you so much for your help.
32:10Okay, so one of the end tables there.
32:17How about we not have one in that corner too, so let's see.
32:21We have come a long way since day one meeting Eric and Tracy at their property.
32:25All right, last bar stool, ladies.
32:27Whoo!
32:28Getting there.
32:30We're getting there.
32:31We landed on a very nice and bright coastal vibe, so I feel like the inside of this is
32:36comfortable, it's cozy, but it definitely says Florida.
32:40So these were painted by animal artists.
32:44Same height, or?
32:45Staggered.
32:46You want to stagger it?
32:47Yeah.
32:47So these two here.
32:48Yeah, is this one upside down?
32:51Because now it looks like a bird.
32:53All right.
32:54Jade, you are a great assistant.
33:00Oh, man.
33:01Welcome to the jungle, Mika.
33:03We got it.
33:04Oh, look at this.
33:05We've got a whole outdoor pavilion.
33:07All right, what are you thinking?
33:08I feel like we should just...
33:09Pass me one?
33:10Yeah, kind of surrounding.
33:11I feel like, let me see, we got two that look like this.
33:13I think I'm even more excited for Chloe and Gio to see that activity room.
33:19Oh, this is going to be so good.
33:27What is going on?
33:28I have no idea.
33:29I'm scared to check.
33:30Look, on a rainy day, they won't even miss being outdoors because we brought the outdoors indoors.
33:34We did a tremendous job on this room.
33:38Do you see Eric in this space at all?
33:39Is he looking at me right now?
33:42Like, okay.
33:44We've got two themed rooms.
33:45Chloe's room.
33:46It's bright colors.
33:47It's rainbows.
33:48Okay, think back to when you were six years old.
33:50I know that was 10 years ago, which is making me very sad right now.
33:54Even though I'm 16, I'm definitely jealous of her room a little bit,
33:57because when I was six, I think my room was like neon green.
34:01Oh, the cat ears, Jade. Remember our cat ear days?
34:05So that is Gabby, and they're actually coming out with a Gabby's Dollhouse movie,
34:09so I feel like this is perfect timing to have this whole room checked out.
34:12Okay, yeah, where do you think I should put her?
34:14I think she might want to go on the show, see if she hangs out.
34:16Okay.
34:17The whole theme of this room, it's kind of tied into Gabby's imagination.
34:21Yeah.
34:22It's kind of like, you know, going on your own adventure.
34:24She's going to feel like she is a character in the movie when she walks in this room,
34:29and that was the goal.
34:30Jade, it feels like just yesterday we were decorating your bedroom as a six-year-old,
34:35and now I'm reminiscing back.
34:37If Chloe likes it as much as Jade does, I think we knock this one out of the park.
34:42For sure.
34:42Jade, so let me know the center of the window and then as far as height.
34:45That's a good height.
34:46Right there?
34:47Perfect, yeah.
34:48What did you just say, Jade?
34:50Perfect.
34:52Oh, my bad.
34:54All right, let's finish it up.
35:04Ooh.
35:04Today's the big day.
35:07Brian, please do not eat the fruit.
35:10I've counted.
35:11I'll know.
35:12Why does it feel like I'm setting up for like feeding time at the zoo?
35:15I feel like this house has come a long way as far as their style.
35:18There's some pops of color in here, which I think is going to make Eric really happy.
35:22All right, here we go.
35:24I'm excited, but also a little nervous.
35:27I'm hoping that it all kind of comes together and we're going to be able to pull in and be like,
35:31this is Eric and Tracy's ranch house.
35:34I'm thinking Eric and Tracy's retreat.
35:36Retreat.
35:36I like that.
35:37Oh, Gio's going to love this room.
35:39I feel like we nailed it.
35:41This space is going to make her light up.
35:44These might be two of the best kids rooms we have ever done.
35:47Oh, yeah.
35:48All right, it's almost time to open up the zoo for business.
35:50I know.
35:51I'm so excited.
35:52I think I'm a little nervous to see the blue shade that we picked out.
35:56I hope it wasn't like too bright.
35:58I think I'm the one that kind of pushed on with all the different colors.
36:02So I think I'm nervous hoping that you'll really like all the color choices that we decided to move
36:08forward with hoping for the best.
36:11Oh, I think I hear them.
36:12Is it them?
36:12Yes.
36:13All right.
36:15Oh, man.
36:20All right, here we go.
36:21I hope they like these bright colors.
36:22Yes.
36:23Oh.
36:24Oh, my goodness.
36:26It's beautiful.
36:28Look at the door.
36:29Wow.
36:30I love the color.
36:32Oh, yeah.
36:33Hi.
36:34This is amazing.
36:35It's great to see you again.
36:36Welcome home.
36:37Welcome.
36:38I'm loving the bright colors you have on, Tracy.
36:40I feel like this whole process has transformed you into liking brighter colors.
36:46What do you think about seeing the paint colors for the first time?
36:49It looks beautiful.
36:50It pops.
36:51It looks great.
36:52Are you ready to see your new habitat?
36:55I'm ready.
36:56All right.
36:57After you.
37:03Oh, my God.
37:05I hear giggling.
37:06This is amazing.
37:07Look at the barn door.
37:09Wow.
37:10I love it.
37:11I love it.
37:12Oh, my God.
37:14Look at the kitchen.
37:15What do you think?
37:17Yeah, I'm loving the wood tones.
37:19That was like a great choice.
37:20It looks great.
37:21You guys did a wonderful job incorporating color, and so that gives it some kind of character.
37:26It is gorgeous.
37:27Before, you know, it was just only one way in and out of the kitchen.
37:30I can literally run around this kitchen, you know?
37:33This is awesome.
37:34It's just a huge space.
37:36Is that a happy dance right there?
37:37Yeah.
37:39This is really nice.
37:40Plus, you have access to the outdoor lanai from here, so you guys can dine inside or alfresco.
37:44That's something I'm really excited about.
37:47All right.
37:48Check out your room.
37:49Wow.
37:50Wow.
37:51Oh, our picture.
37:51Oh, awesome.
37:53Oh, my God.
37:54And our secret escape.
37:56Yeah.
37:56And then we've got our closets and bathroom back there.
37:59Look at this.
38:01The tub is fantastic.
38:03I can't wait to take my first bath in there.
38:05My cheekbones are hurting and smiling so much.
38:08Let's take the adventure outside.
38:09All right.
38:10All right.
38:11Let's practice sneaking out, guys.
38:13Yeah.
38:14How great is this right off your main suite?
38:17Yeah.
38:17Yes.
38:18I'm loving this.
38:19We haven't seen the kids' rooms, but I would really love for Gio and Chloe to be here for
38:24the first time.
38:24We still have a couple more surprises to see, though, don't we?
38:28Mm-hmm.
38:29Ooh.
38:29So, uh, you want to follow us?
38:31Yes.
38:32Into the wilderness?
38:33Yes.
38:34Come on.
38:34Come on.
38:36Ooh.
38:36Wow.
38:37I love them.
38:38It's really cool.
38:39Look at this.
38:40That's the way I sounded when I first discovered this place.
38:42Oh, my goodness.
38:45Awesome.
38:46I will be out here if you can't find me in the house.
38:49Yeah.
38:50I love it.
38:51This is the perfect place to do yoga and meditation.
38:55I love it.
38:56I can't wait to invite some friends over.
38:58Manmika, you can come, too.
38:59Yes.
39:00Just tell me, uh, beginner class only, though, for me.
39:02Come on.
39:03Beginner class.
39:03All right.
39:03All right.
39:04And, uh, I know the kids should be getting out of school soon, so.
39:07Oh, yeah, they're almost out of school?
39:08I really want to show them their rooms.
39:09Yeah.
39:10We'll go pick them up.
39:10All right.
39:11You guys go get them.
39:12Let's see you soon.
39:12And break.
39:14Oh, my gosh.

41:13I love the rainbows on the wall.
41:14And your bed looks cat-tastic.
41:17I hope you'll join me on September 26th to come and see my biggest adventure yet,

41:27I love the Gabby's, and that's my favorite.
41:30I love it.
41:32Thank you very much.

41:35Let's enjoy our room.
41:37Yeah.
41:38That was really cool that she got a personalized message from Gabby.
41:44Oh, my goodness.
41:45I mean, this has been quite the adventure.
41:46You guys, I'm so excited for you to get your own space.
41:50And these rooms, I'm glad they love it,
41:52because I feel like they're going to remember this forever.
41:54Yeah.
41:54On this beautiful five-acre property,
41:56we were able to give them the three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms
42:00that they really wanted.
42:01Right about 1,800 square feet and exactly at $485,000.
42:06This has been, like, just an incredible adventure from,
42:09you know, just kind of getting to this point.
42:12Mm-hmm.
42:13I'm getting a little choked up.
42:14Sorry.
42:14Aw.
42:15We're just so happy to see them having so much fun and be in this beautiful house.
42:20So thank you so much.
42:22It's perfect.
42:23It's perfect.
42:23This is a very emotional journey that we've really been on and, you know,
42:28knowing that we're starting this kind of new chapter in our lives.
42:31Chloe, look.
42:33Look, Daddy used to work with Okapis and elephants.

42:41Yeah.
42:41Ready?
42:42To do up.
42:43Yeah, I would have to say that.
42:44I think that's our favorite part of the house.
42:46Yeah.
42:47Go.
42:47Look at you, Chloe.
