FunTranscript
00:00So we've actually stolen real estate here for a refrigerator.
00:06I just love the way you say frigerator.
00:08Frigerator.
00:09A frigerator.
00:10Listen.
00:11You know, my meemaw called it a toilet.
00:13A toilet.
00:14A banana.
00:15Slept on her pillar.
00:16Mimi says, I'm naked.
00:18And get me a pen or a pen.
00:21Oh, I say them both the same way.
00:22Yeah.
00:23I just say pen.
00:24Who says that?
00:26Yankees.
00:27Woo!
00:28I'm Dre Benko, an interior designer in the low country of South Carolina.
00:33I bring pattern, color, and creativity into my clients' homes.
00:38Alongside my partner, Cryin' Chelsea.
00:40Whoa!
00:41An interior designer extraordinaire who also keeps me in check.
00:44Nope, no.
00:45Let's drag it.
00:46And my general contractor, Grumpy, who can build anything that we dream of.
00:49You don't need me?
00:50I don't need you.
00:51I love that.
00:52And also happens to be my dad.
00:53Oh, my gosh.
00:54This collar everywhere.
00:57Despite my name, my world is a rainbow.
01:00Be careful crossing that road.
01:02I always am.
01:03Hi, Dad.
01:04Morning, sweetie.
01:05How are you?
01:06I'm good.
01:07I've looked the plans over, but what's the family told you about the house?
01:11Oh, my gosh.
01:12So this one is a 1950s duplex.
01:14Yeah.
01:15The entire family's living upstairs, so it's gotten pretty cramped.
01:18And they want to turn it into a single-family home.
01:21The Dabneys have been living in this beautiful 1950s home.
01:25Yes.
01:26They've been confined to the top floor, and they would like to turn it into a single-family
01:30home.
01:31They want to de-dupe it.
01:32They want to de-dupe it.
01:33Yeah.
01:34So to get them started, we're going to just convert the downstairs.
01:39Hello.
01:40Hello.
01:41How are you?
01:42Hi.
01:43How are you?
01:44I'm good.
01:45It's a little tight.
01:46This is a little tight.
01:47Yes.
01:48Yeah.
01:49One of our biggest problems is as soon as you come in, you immediately feel cramped.
01:54We're all living in the upstairs apartment of this duplex.
01:58We have two little boys growing up very rapidly.
02:02We're so on top of each other that our littlest one sleeps downstairs because there's more space
02:07than the best of us sleep upstairs.
02:09And the dream is to make it one big single-family home and have lots of space to spread out and
02:15start feeling like we're actually living in a house instead of an apartment.
02:18Yeah.
02:19Well, I don't know what's behind here.
02:20We're going to find out.
02:21But opening this up, opening that up, it's certainly doable.
02:25That would be great.
02:26That would be amazing.
02:27Can you tell us what's beyond these walls?
02:29Right.
02:30So it's essentially a two-mirror duplex, two bedroom, one bath.
02:34It's got the 50s layout.
02:35The kitchen is in the back, hidden off by itself.
02:37And the two floors are essentially identical to each other.
02:40Right.
02:41Tell me a little bit about how you want to feel when you first walk into your house.
02:44Well, definitely like welcoming.
02:46You know, that sounds pretty cliche, but welcoming and bright.
02:49And right now when you walk in, it looks like a duplex, right?
02:52There's a door in an apartment immediately to your right when you walk in.
02:55I want this to really feel like the stairway of a single-family home.
02:59We just want it to feel bright, cheery, youthful, and timeless, I think is sort of our design aesthetic.
03:05Okay.
03:06I feel like because this is the first space that you see, you really want this to sort of set the tone for the rest of the home.
03:13I feel like this would be a really good space to do wallpaper in.
03:17Are there colors that you love?
03:19I love the combination of green and purple, or I like those kind of contrasting colors, really rich.
03:25What if we started in the hallway looking for a wallpaper that has muted purples, maybe?
03:31Just because you want the timeless feel.
03:33I feel like the softer purple would achieve that better.
03:36Maybe we can bring this color into the rest of the house.
03:39Yeah.
03:40So would you like to show us the rest of the house?
03:42Yeah.
03:43I'll show you.
03:44All right.
03:45This is our current living room.
03:48We love it.
03:49We've got this big, gorgeous bay window.
03:51We love the fireplace.
03:53But really, I think what would be helpful is if it was more open to the foyer and then had some sort of natural flow, like it's meant to be part of a single-family home.
04:04Well, the good news in all of that is those are simple things to make happen.
04:09We take this opening, we make it bigger.
04:12We make this opening bigger.
04:14When you do those things, the house feels bigger.
04:17While it's the same size, the foyer for sure will be three times the size it is now, or it will feel that way.
04:23Oh, great.
04:24I know this is kind of out there, but it would be really cool if we dipped this entire space in this arsenic.
04:34Yes.
04:35Sure.
04:36You know, we don't have low ceilings, but they're definitely not high.
04:41Mm-hmm.
04:42And how, like, you know, darker color, making the room feel smaller, potentially.
04:45You know, actually what I have found is that if you paint the walls in a fun color and then you leave the ceiling white, your eyes go immediately to the ceiling, which make the ceilings feel low.
04:58If you take the color and you do it on the wall and the ceilings, it doesn't jump out at you as soon as you walk into the space.
05:04So I don't think you'll be sorry about that.
05:06Yeah, that sounds great.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Maybe we could just go right next door.
05:09Okay.
05:13So, what are you thinking in here?
05:15Ideally, in my dreams, this would be our kitchen.
05:18We'd really love the big island so that when we're entertaining, someone could perch and sit and I could be, like, cooking and talking or the kids could be eating there and just a really functional space.
05:28I don't know if that's possible.
05:30Magic wand.
05:31Ding!
05:32Yes.
05:33And where will you take the space from to make it bigger?
05:36That-a-way.
05:37Okay.
05:38But you can't have a nice big kitchen if you don't have a pantry to go with it.
05:42And I would guess that its pantry is going to live over this way.
05:45Can we go take a look?
05:47Yes.
05:48See what the options are there?
05:52Oh, wow.
05:53Yeah.
05:54You're right.
05:55This feels like an apartment kitchen, not like a house kitchen.
05:57Yes.
05:58The good news is, is it'll get a little bigger.
06:00Yes.
06:03Well, we might just make that wall go away altogether.
06:05And this door with it.
06:07Cabinetry runs along the entire length of this wall.
06:10And that nice long island from your dreams is right down the middle.
06:14That would be great.
06:15And now that you've got these nice open spaces and you got everybody coming over and you're
06:20having parties left and right, sooner or later someone's going to want to know where the
06:25restroom is.
06:26So you're going to need a powder room for this party house.
06:30That's a good point.
06:31We're going to take this kitchen space and we're going to reconfigure it such that you'll
06:35have a powder room that you can get to from the foyer.
06:38And then a little hallway that'll give you access to a pantry and a laundry room.
06:43Sounds good.
06:44That sounds great.
06:45Okay.
06:46We've got one more space that we need to talk about.
06:48Show us the way.
06:49I'm going to go first.
06:52So you want a dining room?
06:53Yes.
06:54Here it is.
06:55Perfect.
06:56You like that wall?
06:57No attachment to that wall whatsoever.
06:59That's good because it's going away.
07:01Okay.
07:02So will some of this room be kitchen or will this all be dining room?
07:06It'll all be one big room.
07:07But I would love to transition into a different color in this room.
07:10I need a way to do that, please, sir.
07:13Yes, ma'am.
07:15So dining room, how do you want it to feel?
07:18It's elegant enough that it feels like a grown up space, but still be a place where we'll
07:22be able to eat as a family.
07:23So it just has to be super functional for either purpose.
07:27Okay.
07:28So that we actually use it on a daily basis.
07:29Yeah.
07:30You don't want to have a dining room that's just there to have a dining room.
07:33Exactly.
07:34That's a complete waste of space.
07:35Yeah, exactly.
07:36It's a really, really charming house.
07:39I feel like Caroline in particular, I think she's going to be really open to having some fun
07:44in this house.
07:45Is there a timeframe here?
07:46Is there anything happening that we need to be out of here for?
07:49I'm turning 40 this year, and so I've kind of been thinking that it would be just amazing
07:55to be able to have, yeah, my 40th birthday party at our home when it's all redone and kick
08:01off the very first of a series of parties.
08:03I think that's very fitting for your party house.
08:06Yeah.
08:07So we have five months until Caroline's birthday.
08:09Five months.
08:10We've got to move walls.
08:12We've got to do cabinetry.
08:14We have to create a whole kitchen where there is not a kitchen.
08:17I'll need a key from you.
08:18Do you have a key?
08:19Yeah.
08:20Oh, boy.
08:21You know, once we start, you won't see this again until it's finished.
08:25You understand that, right?
08:26How does that make you feel?
08:28I'm fine with that.
08:29Mr. Control Freak is probably a harder pill to swallow.
08:33Yes.
08:34We've got to do it.
08:35We've been pining over this for two years.
08:36We've just got to jump in the deep end.
08:37There you go.
08:38As long as we don't have any hiccups, we can do it.
08:43You just hiccup while you said hiccup?
08:45All right.
08:46We get packing, you start packing.
08:48Oh, good one, Grandma.
08:49That was a good one.
08:50So, demo's underway, but there's a lot to do.
09:02Dabney's had basically two homes in it all this time.
09:05Two kitchens, you know, two living rooms, two of everything.
09:08Because it's a duplex.
09:10And so to turn it into a single-family home, there's a lot of wall moving that has to occur.
09:15What'd you got there?
09:16Doing well.
09:17Jane Kirsting is one of our contractors on this project.
09:20Well, it is a surprise.
09:22Look at there.
09:23Used to be flat across.
09:24You didn't find a skeleton in there, did you?
09:26No.
09:27No bags of money, no skeleton, so...
09:29Hey, Pat.
09:30For me, it's really fun to come in on these days when the house is being, like, really pulled
09:35apart because I get to see what's behind the walls.
09:39What do you think it was?
09:40Well, we think it was a niche for furniture.
09:43So Hutch seems most likely.
09:45Yeah.
09:46So the next step is to take this wall out.
09:49Are you ready to get your hands dirty?
09:51Me?
09:52This one?
09:56Don't say a word.
09:57Ready for action, I see.
09:58Yep.
09:59All right, take this.
10:00Okay.
10:01In between the slats of wood, and just pull.
10:08Woo!
10:09Do I think that gray is built for manual labor?
10:13Absolutely not.
10:14Show them it up there.
10:16Yes.
10:17Up.
10:18Watch me demo this whole house.
10:20I don't love this.
10:22Okay, I'm done.
10:24Anytime that there's a need for me to do manual labor, I excel.
10:31Is this the original paint color?
10:33Was this wallpapered at one point?
10:34It was.
10:35Wallpapered paint.
10:36That's cool.
10:37Multiple times.
10:38So it looks like first it was green, and then it was pink, and then they wallpapered,
10:43and then they just painted yellow.
10:45We actually found green paint, which we're going to be using in the living room.
10:51We found wallpaper.
10:52It's cool to be able to see like a bit of the history of the house that's hidden behind
10:58the walls.
10:59Over the history of this house, it's seen a lot of color.
11:04And it's about to see a lot more.
11:06Our team's got the demo complete.
11:22The crew have got all the drywall out, and their foyer's been reframed.
11:26And the stairwell, while still in the same place, has been reconfigured, and the foyer
11:31feels much more open now.
11:33So looking forward to seeing the bones of the house and seeing what we've got to do next.
11:38Good morning, Bradley.
11:39Hey, welcome.
11:40It's like you guys have been busy since I have my nose under this tent.
11:43We've got it all opened up, and we're putting it back together.
11:46Yeah, it's looking nice and clean and straight, which is the way I like to see it.
11:50Yeah.
11:51So we've got a nice big open foyer.
11:52It's not going to be quite as open as it feels right now, because we've got a wall that's
11:56going to occur here in a bathroom, right?
11:57Yes, yes.
11:58We have a powder bath that's going to go right in here, and it kind of sits up underneath the stairs.
12:02Okay.
12:03So one of the situations we ran into here is we have to remove the center of this wall,
12:10because the entire floor system is sitting on the center wall plus the roof system.
12:16We found that some of the walls that we thought we could just get rid of, the second floor
12:21will go boom.
12:23So you still have to do the whoosh, but we've got to avoid the boom.
12:28So our existing lobe bearing wall that runs down the length of the middle of the house
12:34is going to have to be reconfigured.
12:36The openings aren't going to be where they used to be.
12:38That's correct.
12:39So all the framing we're talking about here today, how far out do you think we are?
12:44A week?
12:45Yeah, probably a week and a half.
12:46We have to put in the new walls here that define the spaces, rebuild everything.
12:51All of this kerfuffle with the framing is going to cost about two weeks of time.
12:57Okay, bud.
12:58Thank you very much.
12:59Thanks for coming by.
13:00See you soon.
13:06So we had a little hiccup with the framing.
13:10Hello.
13:12There were some things buried inside the house from the way it was originally framed
13:17that wasn't apparent until things got opened up.
13:20Well, things have moved a little bit since I was here last.
13:23The framing issues, plus the kerfuffle that we had with the building inspections
13:28that took longer than perhaps they might have, has cost us this time.
13:33And so we're going to see how things are going.
13:36So gas is inspected.
13:37Gas is inspected.
13:39Electrical is ready for inspection?
13:41Ready for inspection, yeah.
13:43Inspections are a necessary evil in construction.
13:46And it's a check to be sure that everything has been accounted for.
13:50Electrical, plumbing, any gas.
13:53And in Charleston, they can't happen all at once.
13:56After framing adjustments and waiting on inspections, this process has taken us two months.
14:02So it sounds like we're probably hanging sheetrock week after next.
14:07That would be the hope.
14:08I think they should be able to insulate next week, and then they should be able to start hanging.
14:12Somebody eventually has to feel the pain of that, and it'll be Gray and Chelsea.
14:18But we're going to make that time up and get out of here on time.
14:21This is going to be a whole different house.
14:35Between the framing, the government, and their permits, we are finally getting into this place.
14:40It's about time.
14:42I'm excited to get in there and see the new footprint of the house, because we'll really be able to get a good idea of what the house is going to feel like spatially.
14:51Yes.
14:52And then see if all these ideas are going to work in reality.
14:55I am stoked.
14:56We'll see how stoked you are when I show you what I have in mind.
15:00It's a beautiful little entry.
15:02It's something that I wish I had at my house, and I don't.
15:04A foyer is just lovely.
15:05Yeah.
15:06The fact that this was, like, able to be opened up is going to give her exactly what she wanted.
15:11The foyer is a lot more functional now.
15:13The first time we walked in here, it was very difficult to even have a few people standing.
15:17Now it's a lot more comfortable to be in here now.
15:19Yeah.
15:20So I brought a few wallpaper samples.
15:23Brought this one, which is sort of, like, pink and purple.
15:26Caroline really loves purple.
15:28It's, like, her favorite color.
15:29And so I felt like purple really should be the first thing that greets her when she walks in the door.
15:35It's a bold decision.
15:36For me, this is the winner.
15:38It feels fun.
15:39It's, like, a great shade of purple.
15:41And it's timeless.
15:42So I want to do a purple trim.
15:44I just have to decide if I want to do the lighter purple or the darker purple.
15:48I want it to feel sophisticated while still being purple, which is, like, it's a hard task.
15:56Purple is the color of royalty, but it's normally done in a castle.
16:01Yeah.
16:02This is too electric.
16:04This is too light.
16:05These don't read sophistication if that's what we're going for.
16:08You know?
16:09You want to see it?
16:10Yeah, you can hold it.
16:12It's a very pretty tone of purple.
16:15Yeah.
16:16So we're going to go with the darker trim.
16:18This wallpaper that feels timeless and elegant.
16:22That feels sophisticated, and it's going to take very simple colors and elevate them the whole way through.
16:29It's so beautiful.
16:30Let's talk about the powder room before we go into the living room.
16:34When we talked about the powder room, they wanted something that was functional but also really fun and funky.
16:39Yeah.
16:40So it feels like the perfect opportunity to, like, really lean farther into that purple for her here.
16:46We have not just leaned in.
16:48We have fallen to the floor.
16:49I do have a little thing that I saw.
16:52It's a wall-mounted concrete sink that's dyed lavender.
16:55This is, like, probably literally the same.
16:58Hold on.
16:59This looks like the same exact color as the trim.
17:01Look at that.
17:02Look at that.
17:03Oh, my gosh.
17:04I do think this paint color is going to be too dark.
17:07So if we can just get them to lighten the same color.
17:11Yeah.
17:12We can really lean in to the purple.
17:14And I love a concrete sink.
17:16A sconce could be really good, too.
17:18This is going to be really good.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Let's go look at the living room.
17:21Okay.
17:22I'm very, very excited about how this room is going to complement that but also transition to the kitchen.
17:29The purple in the foyer and the green in the living room, which I think it's really nice that she chose that color.
17:36And we get to sort of pay homage to what the home was when it was first built.
17:41Yeah.
17:42I love that idea.
17:44This says arsenic and I know what the color that is.
17:48You're insane.
17:50Because she wants to really have this room feel, like, bright and colorful and cheerful, there's only one green that's in my brain.
17:59That's insane.
18:03Gray!
18:04We always take things into another level, but this is, oh my gosh.
18:10Let her dry.
18:12Gray, we've only used this color on floors before.
18:15Give her a minute to prove herself.
18:17I, this, I don't know if this is a reasonable color.
18:20Don't get me wrong.
18:21Okay.
18:22Hear me out.
18:23I love arsenic.
18:24Hold on.
18:25I'm going to show you.
18:26Sometimes your choices are quite bold and they scare the dar out of me.
18:31Boring.
18:32I don't love those.
18:33Spoo's fest.
18:34Wow.
18:35Show it's golfer.
18:36It makes my belt feel extra tight today.
18:37I go through phases.
18:38It's like excitement, terror.
18:39Happiness and joy.
18:40Trying to find someone that agrees with me and then making it work.
18:57And then it's beautiful at the end.
18:59Yeah.
19:00It's always, always annoyingly beautiful at the end.
19:04Oh, thanks.
19:05When they're separated by trim, it might actually help to make it feel a little bit better.
19:10It's contrasting.
19:12These colors are light and bright and then it's got the dark in between.
19:17Technically, I don't really think there's a really good reason why this works together.
19:22There's no science behind it.
19:24You have to use your heart and it, it looks good.
19:27I like it.
19:28You like it.
19:29It looks really pretty.
19:30And I don't know why I like it.
19:31I don't either.
19:32I really, really do.
19:33I know it's going to be good.
19:36I just don't know how yet.
19:38Another thing that happened when we were in the walkthrough is that I told the dad that
19:42I wanted to do a full dip in this room so that the ceiling would sort of just go away
19:47and it would make the room feel bigger.
19:49However, now that I'm in the space and I see the beams, I feel like it's something that
19:53I want to highlight instead of hide.
19:56So we'll lean into the arsenic green for the walls.
19:59But on the trim and the ceiling, I want to do a nice cream color that shows off the beams.
20:05We'll do a neutral rug and then pull in a purple sofa that ties in the color from the foyer.
20:11And then use wood tones for the other furniture and then colorful art that ties into the kitchen.
20:16That's going to be really nice.
20:18Let's figure out how we transition it.
20:20Let's do the kitchen.
20:21Kitchen.
20:22All right.
20:23So kitchen, dining room.
20:26Let's focus in on the kitchen.
20:28When we first walked into this house, Caroline and David had the tiniest little kitchen tucked
20:34away in this little corner that you have to find.
20:37But now it's going to be like a main focal point of the house.
20:41We've talked about a yellow.
20:43So this is a bit of a bolder option.
20:48And I like to pair it with an ivory on the walls.
20:51I need another paintbrush.
20:52Oh.
20:53That's a comb.
20:54That's a different kind of brush.
20:56What in the head?
20:57That's not popcorn.
20:58I get snacky.
21:00There's really another.
21:02There's another brush with popcorn in it.
21:06Stop it, Gray.
21:07What's not in that bag is the question.
21:11First answer to that question is I have no idea.
21:14Clearly.
21:15I think I feel it.
21:17It's like a clown car.
21:19It's just things keep coming out.
21:21Ridiculous.
21:22This is a softer, creamier yellow.
21:24It's popcorn color.
21:26Oh my gosh.
21:28Is there any way we can maybe add some wood tones?
21:33So David originally was very afraid of having a yellow kitchen
21:37because he didn't want it to feel like a country kitchen.
21:39I think some people have nostalgic references back to their childhood
21:44that they think of and they associate with certain things.
21:47I mean, color does not define style.
21:50Here, I'll give you some options.
21:52Well, I...
21:53You're welcome.
21:55Found that down the bottom of the bag.
21:56Oh, that was a cheesy one.
21:57Cheesy one.
22:00Yeah, that's really beautiful.
22:02I really love that.
22:03The style of the cabinetry, the hardware and the fabrics and all the other things.
22:08It's going to be a modern looking kitchen with some soul.
22:13So basically what floors will stay the hardwoods.
22:16There's going to be beautiful buttery yellow cabinetry.
22:19It's going to separate the dining room from the kitchen, but it's also going to create so much storage.
22:24An island will be nice right here in the middle.
22:27Brass, wood and cream accents.
22:30Put some bar stools.
22:31Agreed.
22:32I love all of this.
22:33And now the question is, how do you make a dining room fancy but also casual?
22:38Well, let me tell you.
22:39All right, there you go.
22:41I'm such a nice lady.
22:43Okay.
22:44I'm really excited about the dining room.
22:46So there's a wallpaper that I wanted to use for a very long time.
22:49Look at it.
22:50We've been wanting to use this forever.
22:52I love this paper.
22:54But look, I feel like, okay.
22:55It's got the purple and the yellow.
22:57It's got the arsenic green.
22:58What I was about to say.
22:59And it's got the creamy background to go in the kitchen.
23:03It is, as my dad would say, the rosetta stone.
23:07Oh.
23:08So in this room, we're going to wallpaper.
23:11We're going to find a beautiful buffet and bring the same yellow trim into this space.
23:17Maybe lacquer a piece of furniture.
23:19Lavender tones.
23:20Yeah.
23:21I think it takes it up a notch.
23:22A beautiful chandelier and have a dining room table that really takes the cake.
23:26So you've been, like, leading me on the whole time because you knew you had this in your
23:31back pocket.
23:32See?
23:33You just got to trust.
23:35All right.
23:36I'd feel better if we got in some AC, though.
23:44We are one month away from install at this point.
23:47It's gone slow between weather and framing issues.
23:50So we've really got to get to it.
23:52Oh, my gosh.
23:53All right.
23:54Hello, Kelvin.
23:55Hello.
23:56Hello.
23:57Hello there.
23:58Today we're going to go see Kelvin.
23:59We have these beautiful stools that we just got in.
24:02And we also have some really lovely fabric that we want to get them upholstered with.
24:06You changed the colors.
24:07Yeah.
24:08It's pretty.
24:09Gray Vincote.
24:10She has, once again, blown my mind and customized this fabric.
24:14It has every single color that's going to be in the Daphne's house.
24:17The cabinets are yellow.
24:18It needs to run that way.
24:19I think I like it like that.
24:20Yeah, because the cabinet is sitting back behind you.
24:23It needs to go up to the cabinet.
24:25If this man says it goes this way, then it goes this way.
24:28I agree with Kelvin.
24:29It's gorgeous.
24:30It's gorgeous.
24:31So, but anything we can pick them up in like a week and a half-ish?
24:34Sure.
24:35Won't be no problem.
24:36I tell them.
24:37Bye-bye.
24:38I'm really excited to get into the Daphne house because cabinetry is going in.
24:51And we get to see the footprint of their kitchen, finally.
24:59Oh, my goodness.
25:01It's so nice to see these cabinets in here in the color.
25:04I feel like it's coming together.
25:06Oh, wait.
25:07I have a question that has me feeling panicked.
25:09I still feel scared about this island.
25:11We need to go as far as we can this way with the oven still being able to open.
25:16Correct.
25:17I'm just nervous about once we do the hangover and then the bar stool.
25:24Are you sitting?
25:25Yeah.
25:26See?
25:27Between your butt and the wall is not a lot room.
25:29Let's not get so aggressive.
25:31So 36 inches is standard minimum between two pieces of kitchen furniture, let's say.
25:39So cabinetry to cabinetry.
25:41And this is over that.
25:42But it is very, very tight.
25:44It's like a two-butt kitchen.
25:46And that's about it.
25:47One-butt kitchen.
25:48Oh, that's...
25:49You need to get out of it.
25:51You gotta bump butts to get by.
25:53Yeah.
25:54If we brought the island in slightly and then maybe instead of doing a traditional 12-inch
26:00overhang, we brought that down to maybe 10, even maybe 8 inches, it could really make
26:07this feel like it's got a lower profile.
26:10Yeah.
26:11The good news is the island is here and it's placed, but it's not secure.
26:15So we can, once the stone gets on there and we get the countertops and everything's set
26:20officially, we can make sure it's perfect.
26:22Yeah.
26:23All right.
26:24I gotta go home.
26:25Okay.
26:26That sounds great.
26:27Things are moving quickly.
26:28The cabinetry's in, so that's great.
26:30Yes.
26:31But we really have to make sure that we keep the speed up to make sure that things are
26:35happening on time so that we can set the deadline that we need to hit for this project.
26:40And it's coming up quickly.
26:41And making me nervous.
26:42This project has been a bit of a doozy, but we have really big things happening right
27:00now.
27:01We've got paint going up, cabinetry is going in.
27:05We are just one week away from finishing up and I could not be more excited.
27:10Oh boy.
27:11Chelsea.
27:12Why did you say, oh boy?
27:13Because it's not the right color.
27:14I mean, the arsenic is the right color.
27:15So it's not in the right place.
27:16Let's play opposite day.
27:17Everything that's painted arsenic was supposed to be cream.
27:32Are there people even available that can fix it?
27:36The fireplace and the ceiling was supposed to be the same cream that's going to be in
27:40the rest of the house.
27:41Okay.
27:42All right.
27:43Well, I kind of loved some of the changes that the painters made.
27:50That's a way to be positive.
27:52Okay.
27:53This is what I want from you.
27:54Completely blank slate.
27:56You now have a room that you're standing in and you can look at it and once again make
28:01a decision seeing a lot more of the color in the room.
28:04What would you do in a perfect world?
28:07How does her process go?
28:12She walks around the room.
28:14She thinks about every possible situation.
28:17So that's where it turns purple.
28:21So you'll be standing in this room and you'll see green trim, purple trim, yellow trim.
28:28Does that feel insane?
28:30You know?
28:31I'm so sorry, friend.
28:33Have you met Gray Benko, my business partner, the lady with the pink sofa in the rainbow
28:38house?
28:39I mean, I think there's going to be plenty of chaos and color kind of our thing.
28:44She ponders and thinks and thinks and ponders and then finally comes to a conclusion that
28:50no one else on the planet would come to.
28:52Hi, girl.
28:53What are you doing?
28:54Hey.
28:55I'm coming in.
28:56Why?
28:57Why?
28:58I feel like we're going to get in trouble.
28:59No.
29:00You should feel like you're already in trouble.
29:01For once, we didn't do it.
29:03Okay.
29:04You can fix anything, right, Grumps?
29:06I don't know.
29:09Now that I'm in here, I think it was a happy accident because I actually think that the
29:14arsenic on the trim is really nice.
29:17Looks really, really nice.
29:18I'm very lucky to have Gray Benko as my business partner.
29:22She will probably die if Cher hears me say this, but not everybody gets to work with
29:27somebody who, in my personal opinion, is like a color genius.
29:31The walls are going to be arsenic.
29:33We need to paint the fireplace and the ceiling the cream color that they were supposed to
29:39be and everything else can stay the same.
29:41All right.
29:42Well, let's get some moving.
29:43Okay.
29:44Thanks.
29:45Thanks, Grumps.
29:46All right.
29:47Let's go.
29:53Calvin.
29:54Hello.
29:55Hello there.
29:56Today, we are going to get six dining room chairs with skirting.
30:02Very excited about the skirting.
30:03And four stools for the island.
30:05And that is why we brought Grumpy to get some muscle.
30:09All right.
30:10So you got some stools for us?
30:12Sure.
30:13I have a few of them.
30:14They're all boxed up, ready to roll.
30:15I see no boxes, Calvin.
30:16Well, we see the boxes on the back.
30:18I pulled two out of the box.
30:21Oh, my gosh.
30:22Those are fun.
30:24It's beautiful.
30:25Those chairs belong to the Dabneys, and they were in bad shape.
30:30And so a really quick fix to fix drabby chairs is you can reupholster them for almost nothing.
30:36Like, totally were able to breathe new life into these chairs by just changing the fabric.
30:41Calvin, these are beautiful.
30:43Thank you so much.
30:44Yeah.
30:45They got the mini skirt.
30:46They got the mini skirt.
30:47They got a mini.
30:48The piping's got a little pop to it, too.
30:51It honestly looks more expensive.
30:53And so if you can upgrade your details just a little bit by adding a contrasting piping
30:58or a fun little skirt, it changes the look of everything and also elevates the style.
31:03Even I noticed it, and I'm just a mule.
31:06Oh, my gosh.
31:07All right.
31:08We got it.
31:09Thank you, Calvin.
31:10Y'all welcome.
31:11Thank y'all ladies.
31:12Oh, that's a really handy.
31:13Stop it, Chelsea.
31:14Oh, my gosh.
31:15I thought we were playing Tetris.
31:16Oh, that was a fight squeeze.
31:31There is a ton of work happening at the Dabney House.
31:34The trim has been painted in the foyer, the powder room, and the dining room.
31:38The painters are here fixing the ceiling and the fireplace paint.
31:42The island is locked into its new position.
31:45The new hood is looking great.
31:47All the cabinets are almost in.
31:49And Chelsea is going to check on the progress.
31:52Hey!
31:53What?
31:54Look at this kitchen.
31:56Look.
31:57Let me see.
31:59Let's see.
32:00And the island is perfectly placed to the stove.
32:05Moving it that little bit, that tiny little bit, it made all the difference.
32:09It's much, much roomier in here, and it looks great.
32:12I'm so smart.
32:13Are you?
32:14Where are you at?
32:15I'm in my office.
32:16That's a beautiful view.
32:18Okay, well, I think that I'm going to move on and go look at the wallpaper.
32:22All right.
32:24Melissa!
32:25Chels!
32:26You're right here!
32:27Hi!
32:28Good morning!
32:29Hi!
32:30It's here!
32:31Oh my gosh!
32:32Oh no.
32:33This is a wallpaper that we have dreamed of using for years.
32:39I mean, it's gorgeous.
32:41This natural lighting in here, it's going to be beautiful.
32:45It's going to be so amazing, and I cannot wait to see this in the space.
32:50Let's go look at the foyer.
32:56It's so pretty!
32:57Isn't it amazing?
32:58The purple on the ceiling looks perfect with the paper.
33:01I love it with all of my heart.
33:04I'm just obsessed.
33:06This is so classy looking.
33:08Yes.
33:09I was having a hard time picturing the ceiling being purple also, but it ties everything
33:12together.
33:13I think it looks like it was always meant to be purple.
33:15It's really nice.
33:16It's really, really nice.
33:18Everything looks so good, but there is still so much to do.
33:21Thank you for always coming through.
33:24Always.
33:25You're the best.
33:26So I'm going to get out of the way, so these cabinet guys can do all the finishing touches.
33:29The built-ins also need trim, and some of the wallpaper still needs to be hung.
33:34The living room is being repainted today.
33:37I'm not stressed at all.
33:48All right, everybody!
33:49Hey!
33:50How's everybody feeling?
33:52So, okay, so Grumpy has put us in a bit of a pickle.
33:56I thought you liked pickles.
33:58Celesta!
33:59Not the kind you can't eat.
34:01We don't like those pickles.
34:03Clearly.
34:04Long story short, there was framing issues.
34:06Things being delayed, which puts people in our direct vicinity while we're trying to do our thing.
34:13It's crazy in here, right?
34:15Yeah.
34:16It's complete chaos.
34:17It seems like there's some, like, table setting stuff missing.
34:20Do you see the napkins?
34:21Maybe there's some stuff still on the moving trucks?
34:24I don't know how we're going to get this done in the next, like, how many hours do we have left?
34:27Yeah, the good news is we fixed your mix-up on the paint.
34:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:33Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:34Not our mix-up.
34:35Doesn't matter.
34:36The paint's good.
34:37The trim is good.
34:38It's going to be great.
34:39It is going to be great.
34:40It is going to be great.
34:41We just need to, like, less talking, more doing.
34:43So, yes to this mirror.
34:46It's beautiful.
34:49I love it.
34:51It goes well with the paint colors.
34:53I think so.
34:54Yeah.
34:55I need to start pulling things that I can get up on these shelves.
34:59Chelsea, you need to start pulling the furniture and telling people where everything belongs.
35:04Yes.
35:05Make sure that there's any extra lamps anywhere.
35:08And, Dad, you need to fill in where it's necessary and also be mentally prepared to get your insurance, please.
35:16Yes.
35:17Completely agree.
35:21I'm going to need a break after this.
35:23How's it going, fellas?
35:25Let's be very honest.
35:26Please.
35:27When it comes to the clutch moments, Grumpy always comes through.
35:30Ooh, you brought the chairs!
35:32Yeah.
35:33Okay, thank you, Dad.
35:38So many shelves.
35:39So, this house has a lot of shelves.
35:41Oftentimes, when I style shelves, I find that the best thing to do is to start with the books.
35:47Because books, they're practical.
35:49They take up a lot of space.
35:51And it's good to help ground objects.
35:53So, I get all the books where they feel balanced.
35:57And then I come in with the objects and the art afterwards and start to fill in the holes as I see them.
36:04Yeah.
36:05Sometimes even you pull the colors off of the art onto the shelves.
36:09Like, it's really, it's more intricate than you think it is.
36:13I think that if we put this lamp in this corner and we have that lamp in this corner, that's enough lamps.
36:19I'm starting to realize just how much there still is to do.
36:24There's a lot to do.
36:25No.
36:26To the right.
36:27More.
36:28More.
36:29More?
36:30That's not true, Dad.
36:31The clock is TikTok-ing.
36:32And we don't have a lot of time to do it in.
36:41I'm excited for them to see the living room.
36:44I feel like we took a really big chance with that arsenic color.
36:48Isn't it color?
36:49It's so bright.
36:50But I'm so happy with how it turned out.
36:52Hello!
36:53Hey!
36:54Somehow we were able to finish it.
36:56I mean, I can't believe we got it done.
36:58I might have slept for an hour and a half.
37:00Are you nervous?
37:01Like the good kind of Christmas morning nerves.
37:03But I could not be happier with how it turned out.
37:06It's just, it's so bright and colorful and happy.
37:09And I can't wait to hand their house back over to them.
37:12The amount of change that has happened since you guys were here last,
37:15it's a completely different home than the home that you gave us the keys to.
37:19And I'm just so excited for you guys to see it.
37:21We're excited too!
37:22I know.
37:23Is it the time?
37:24Are you ready?
37:25Yeah!
37:26Okay.
37:27Well, let's go.
37:28Let's see it.
37:29Y'all first.
37:33Oh my gosh!
37:36It's so good!
37:37You really wanted the space to feel classic, but colorful.
37:42And you said purple was your favorite color.
37:44So I really feel like the wallpaper that we chose, it was a home room.
37:48It's so neat.
37:49It's so pretty.
37:50Yeah.
37:51And look, we can all fit inside of it.
37:52There's plenty of room for all of us.
37:54I know.
37:55This looks amazing.
37:57Okay.
37:58So we're happy in here.
37:59Yes.
38:00So we were able to, right behind that purple door, find a powder room for you.
38:04Would you like to see it?
38:05Yeah, let's do it.
38:06Yes.
38:11Wow!
38:12Whoa!
38:13That's great.
38:14Oh, look how cute it looks.
38:15Look at our sink.
38:16It's purple too!
38:17Is this sink cement?
38:18It is.
38:19Do you love the purple sink?
38:20Yes.
38:21I am so obsessed with that.
38:22That is so cool.
38:23Look at the sconces.
38:24Yeah, it looks great.
38:25They look so good.
38:26Look at all the little details are so cute.
38:28See the teeny, tiniest rug you've ever seen?
38:31I love it.
38:32I love it.
38:33All right, let's go see the living room.
38:34Maybe?
38:35We went for it.
38:36Okay.
38:37But I think it's really beautiful.
38:38Yeah?
38:39Can I look now?
38:40Yes, you can look.
38:42Oh my gosh.
38:43I don't even know where to look.
38:45Look at this.
38:46Oh my gosh.
38:47Look at the couches.
38:48I know!
38:49This looks so good.
38:50Can I touch this?
38:51Yes!
38:52Do whatever you want.
38:53This is so pretty.
38:54Oh my gosh.
38:55This is amazing.
38:56It's completely transformed in the exposed beams.
38:59Having that extra height really makes it feel bigger.
39:00It does, yeah.
39:01Like I didn't expect it to feel this big.
39:02It was just right.
39:03David, I love it.
39:04I love it.
39:05I love it.
39:06I love it.
39:07I love it.
39:08I love it.
39:09I love it.
39:10I love it.
39:11I love it.
39:12I love it.
39:13I love it.
39:14I love it.
39:15It's bright.
39:16David, how do you feel about the arsenic?
39:18As with the purple, I was kind of thinking, you know, how's that going to go together?
39:22But it's great.
39:23I love it.
39:24A color like this.
39:25It's so bright, but it goes away because it's not about the walls.
39:29It's about the vibe of whole space.
39:31You know, the whole room is just a vibe now.
39:33Standing here and like looking through into the purple is one of my favorite things.
39:38Yes.
39:39Really, really amazing.
39:40My cheeks hurt from smiling.
39:42Like I could not have imagined it would turn out like this.
39:44We can actually have more than two people over at our house now and have a nice time entertaining
39:50people.
39:51Well, you know, as nice as this space is, you know where people congregate.
39:54In the kitchen.
39:55Yeah.
39:56They congregate in the kitchen.
39:57Everyone always wants to be in the kitchen.
39:58Yeah, that's right.
39:59Let's go see what we got.
40:00All right.
40:01Oh my God.
40:02This is so pretty.
40:03I mean, it looks great.
40:05Oh my gosh.
40:06I'm going to cry.
40:07This is so pretty.
40:08This is like absolutely beyond.
40:09This is amazing.
40:10Oh, wow.
40:11Look at all of our things are on display.
40:12Like all of our stuff looks like grown up stuff in here.
40:26Oh my gosh.
40:27Oh, look at the subway tile.
40:29Oh my gosh.
40:31Look at all the hardware.
40:33This is yours.
40:34Pretty.
40:35Okay.
40:36So I know you guys were worried about the yellow feeling like it would give country kitchen
40:41vibes.
40:42Does this feel like a country kitchen?
40:43No, not at all.
40:44No, this is completely timeless and elegant.
40:47And I love the un-lacquered brass.
40:50It's so pretty.
40:51It is so, so pretty.
40:53This is amazing.
40:55I love it.
40:56I think there's enough room over here.
40:58There's plenty of room in the middle because it could have been like tight.
41:01There's plenty of space to entertain in here.
41:03And then it's so open to this space.
41:05So like people can just kind of be in and out.
41:07There's a really good flow, I think.
41:08It's opening up between two spaces like this makes them both bigger.
41:13Love it.
41:15Are you guys ready to see the dining room?
41:16Yeah.
41:17Yeah.
41:18Okay.
41:19Okay, let's go.
41:20Let's go see it.
41:23Oh, wow.
41:24Oh my gosh.
41:26Like this is a proper dining room.
41:29Look at this wallpaper.
41:31You drew all this.
41:32I did.
41:33This is all framed out like so nicely.
41:37Look at this.
41:38Look at this rug, how well it goes with everything.
41:40I know.
41:41And it goes with the marble on your furniture piece that we painted.
41:44We painted.
41:45Oh, I didn't even recognize that.
41:46Yeah.
41:47Look at that.
41:48This room was destined to be a dining room.
41:50It was.
41:51Yeah.
41:52It was.
41:53No doubt.
41:54So happy.
41:55It doesn't feel like we get to live here.
41:58Like I can't believe we get to live here.
42:00The way that this house started to what it is today, it's hard to believe it's you in the
42:04same house.
42:05You're only lacking one thing.
42:07What's that?
42:08And that's a way to get into it.
42:11Keep it.
42:13I have to hug you again too.
42:14Thank you guys so much.
42:15We trusted you guys from the get go and the result is just spectacular.
42:19We'll get out of your way.
42:20Bye guys.
42:22Just walking and seeing all that color, seeing how it all came together.
42:26It just made our jaws drop.
42:29What do you think?
42:31I just like felt right when we opened the doors, you know, it's like, oh, you see this
42:35and then, oh, you see this, but you see the middle and the anchor and it feel, it all
42:39feels right.
42:40Happy birthday, mama.
42:42Kids can go upstairs.
42:43They can have some space up there.
42:45We can relax in here with our friends.
42:47I think it's just going to be really, really nice to have that room to grow and spread out.
