Transcript

00:00An interior designer in the little country of South Carolina.

00:03I bring pattern, color, and creativity into my client's home.

00:08Alongside my partner of crime, Chelsea.

00:10Whoa!

00:10An interior designer extraordinaire who also keeps me in check.

00:14Nope, nope, let's try it.

00:15And my general contractor, Grumpy, who can build anything that we dream of.

00:19You don't need me?

00:20I don't need you.

00:20I love that.

00:21And also happens to be my dad.

00:23Oh my gosh!

00:24There's color everywhere!

00:27Despite my name, my world is a rainbow.

00:30Be careful crossing that road.

00:32I always am.

00:34Hi, Dad.

00:35Morning, sweetie.

00:36How are you?

00:36I'm good.

00:37I've looked the plans over, but what's the family told you about the house?

00:41So this one is a 1950s duplex.

00:44Yeah?

00:44The entire family's living upstairs, so it's gotten pretty cramped.

00:48And they want to turn it into a single-family home.

00:51The Dabneys have been living in this beautiful 1950s home.

00:55Yes.

00:56They've been confined to the top four.

00:58And they would like to turn it into a single-family home.

01:01They want to de-dupe it.

01:02They want to de-dupe it.

01:03Yeah.

01:04So to get them started, we're going to just convert the downstairs.

01:10Hello!

01:11Hello!

01:11I'm here!

01:12How are you?

01:13How are you?

01:14I'm good.

01:15It's a little tight.

01:16This is a little tight.

01:17Yes.

01:19Yeah.

01:19One of our biggest problems is as soon as you come in, you immediately feel cramped.

01:24We're all living in the upstairs apartment of this duplex.

01:28And we have two little boys growing up very rapidly.

01:31Normally, we're so on top of each other that our littlest one sleeps downstairs because there

01:36is more space than the rest of us sleep upstairs.

01:39Yeah.

01:39And the dream is to make it one big single-family home and have lots of space to spread out

01:44and start feeling like we're actually living in a house instead of an apartment.

01:48Well, I don't know what's behind here.

01:50We're going to find out.

01:51But opening this up, opening that up, it's certainly doable.

01:55That would be great.

01:56That would be amazing.

01:56Can you tell us what's beyond these walls?

01:59Right.

02:00So it's essentially a two-mirror duplex, two-bedroom, one-bath.

02:04It's got the 50s layout.

02:05The kitchen is in the back, hidden off by itself.

02:07And the two floors are essentially identical to each other.

02:10Right.

02:10Tell me a little bit about how you want to feel when you first walk into your house.

02:14Well, definitely like welcoming.

02:16You know, that sounds pretty cliche, but welcoming and bright.

02:19And right now, when you walk in, it looks like a duplex, right?

02:22There's a door in an apartment immediately to your right when you walk in.

02:24I want this to really feel like the stairway of a single-family home.

02:29We just want it to feel bright, cheery, youthful, and timeless, I think is sort of our design aesthetic.

02:35Okay.

02:36I 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.

02:43I feel like this would be a really good space to do wallpaper in.

02:47Are there colors that you love?

02:49I love the combination of green and purple, or I like those kind of contrasting colors, really rich.

02:55What if we started in the hallway looking for a wallpaper that has muted purples, maybe?

03:01Just because you want the timeless feel, I feel like the softer purple would achieve that better.

03:07Maybe we can bring this color into the rest of the house.

03:09Yeah.

03:10So would you like to show us the rest of the house?

03:12Yeah.

03:12Okay.

03:13All right.

03:14That's great.

03:15This is our current living room.

03:18We love it.

03:19We've got this big, gorgeous bay window.

03:21We love the fireplace.

03:22But 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.

03:33Well, the good news in all of that is those are simple things to make happen.

03:39We take this opening, we make it bigger.

03:42We make this opening bigger.

03:44When you do those things, the house feels bigger.

03:47While it's the same size, the foyer for sure will be three times the size it is now, or we'll feel that way.

03:53Oh, great.

03:55I know this is kind of out there, but it would be really cool if we dipped this entire space in this arsenic.

04:04Yes.

04:05Sure.

04:08You know, we don't have low ceilings, but they're definitely not high.

04:11And how the darker color makes the room feel smaller, potentially.

04:15You 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.

04:28If 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.

04:34So I don't think you'll be sorry about that.

04:36That sounds great.

04:37Yeah.

04:37Maybe we could just go right next door.

04:39Okay.

04:39So, what are you thinking in here?

04:45Ideally, in my dreams, this would be our kitchen.

04:48We'd really love a big island so that when we're entertaining, someone could perch and sit and I could be cooking and talking or the kids could be eating there and just a really functional space.

04:58I don't know if that's possible.

05:00Magic wand.

05:01Ding.

05:02Yes.

05:03And where will you take the space from to make it bigger?

05:06That-a-way.

05:07Okay.

05:08But you can't have a nice big kitchen if you don't have a pantry to go with it.

05:12And I would guess that its pantry's going to live over this way.

05:15Can we go take a look?

05:17Yes.

05:17See what the options are there?

05:22Oh, wow.

05:23Yeah.

05:24You're right.

05:24This feels like an apartment kitchen, not like a house kitchen.

05:27Yes.

05:27The good news is, is it'll get a little bigger.

05:30Yes.

05:32Well, we might just make that wall go away altogether.

05:35And this door, with it.

05:37Cabinetry runs along the entire length of this wall.

05:40And that nice long island from your dreams is right down the middle.

05:44That would be great.

05:45And now that you've got these nice open spaces and you've got everybody coming over and you're having parties left and right,

05:52sooner or later, someone's going to want to know where the restroom is.

05:55So, you're going to need a powder room for this party house.

06:00Good point.

06:01We're going to take this kitchen space and we're going to reconfigure it such that you'll have a powder room that you can get to from the foyer.

06:08And then a little hallway that'll give you access to a pantry and a laundry room.

06:13Sounds good.

06:13That sounds great.

06:14Okay.

06:15We've got one more space that we need to talk about.

06:18Show us the way.

06:18I'm going to go first.

06:22So, you want a dining room?

06:23Yes.

06:24Here it is.

06:25Perfect.

06:26You like that wall?

06:28No attachment to that wall whatsoever.

06:30That's good because it's going away.

06:31So, will some of this room be kitchen or will this all be dining room?

06:35It'll all be one big room.

06:36But I would love to transition into a different color in this room.

06:40I need a way to do that, please, sir.

06:43Yes, ma'am.

06:45So, dining room.

06:46How do you want it to feel?

06:47Elegant enough that it feels like a grown-up space, but still be a place where we'll be able to eat as a family.

06:53So, it just has to be super functional for either purpose so that we actually use it on a daily basis.

06:59Yeah, you don't want to have a dining room that's just there to have a dining room.

07:02Exactly.

07:03You have a complete waste of space.

07:05Yeah, exactly.

07:06It's a really, really charming house.

07:08I feel like Caroline in particular, I think she's going to be really open to having some fun in this house.

07:15Is there a time frame here?

07:16Is there anything happening that we need to be out of here for?

07:19I'm turning 40 this year, and so I've kind of been thinking that it would be just amazing to be able to have, yeah,

07:26my 40th birthday party at our home when it's all redone and kick off the very first of a series of parties.

07:33I think that's very fitting for your party house.

07:35So, we have five months until Caroline's birthday.

07:39Five months.

07:40We've got to move walls.

07:42We've got to do cabinetry.

07:44We have to create a whole kitchen where there is not a kitchen.

07:47I'll need a key from you.

07:48Do you have a key?

07:49Yeah.

07:50Oh, boy.

07:51You know, once we start, you won't see this again until it's finished.

07:55You understand that, right?

07:56How does that make you feel?

07:58I'm fine with that.

07:59Mr. Control Freak is probably a harder pill to swallow.

08:03Yes.

08:03We've got to do it.

08:04We've been pining over this for two years.

08:05So, we've just got to jump in the deep end.

08:07There you go.

08:08As long as we don't have any hiccups, we can do it.

08:13You just hiccup while you said hiccup?

08:15All right.

08:16We get packing, you start packing.

08:18Oh, good one, Grandma.

08:19That was a good one.

08:20So, demo's underway, but there's a lot to do.

08:31Dabney's had basically two homes in it all this time.

08:35Two kitchens, you know, two living rooms, two of everything.

08:38Because it's a dupline.

08:39And so, to turn it into a single-family home, there's a lot of wall-moving that has to occur.

08:45Can't you go?

08:45There.

08:46Doing well.

08:47Jane Kirsting is one of our contractors on this project.

08:51Well, it is a surprise.

08:52Look at that.

08:53Used to be flat across.

08:54You didn't find a skeleton in there, did you?

08:56No.

08:56No bags of money, no skeletons, so.

08:59Hey, Beth.

09:01For me, it's really fun to come in on these days when the house is being, like, really pulled apart.

09:06Because I get to see what's behind the walls.

09:09What do you think it was?

09:11Well, we think it was a niche for furniture.

09:13So Hutch seems most likely.

09:15Yeah.

09:16So the next step is to take this wall out.

09:19Are you ready to get your hands dirty?

09:21Me?

09:22This one?

09:26Don't say a word.

09:27Ready for action, I see.

09:28Yep.

09:28All right, take this.

09:29Okay.

09:30In between the slats of wood, and just pull.

09:37Woo!

09:38Do I think that Gray is built for manual labor?

09:42Absolutely not.

09:44Shove it up here.

09:47Up.

09:48Watch me demo this whole house.

09:50I don't love this.

09:52Okay, I'm done.

09:53Anytime that there's a need for me to do manual labor, I excel.

09:59Ha!

10:00Is this the original paint color?

10:03Was this wallpapered at one point?

10:04It was wallpapered paint.

10:05That's cool.

10:06Multiple times.

10:07So it looks like first it was green, and then it was pink.

10:11And then they wallpapered, and then they just painted yellow.

10:15We actually found green paint, which we're going to be using in the living room.

10:20We found wallpaper.

10:22It's cool to be able to see a bit of the history of the house that's hidden behind the walls.

10:29Over the history of this house, it's seen a lot of color.

10:34And it's about to see a lot more.

10:35Our team's got the demo complete.

10:52The crew have got all the drywall out, and their foyer's been reframed.

10:56And the stairwell, while still in the same place, has been reconfigured, and the foyer feels much more open now.

11:02So, looking forward to seeing the bones of the house and seeing what we've got to do next.

11:08Good morning, Bradley.

11:08Hey, welcome.

11:10You guys have been busy since I have my nose under this tent.

11:13We've got it all opened up, and we're putting it back together.

11:16Yeah, it's looking nice and clean and straight, which is the way I like to see it.

11:20Yeah.

11:20So we've got a nice big open foyer.

11:22It's not going to be quite as open as it feels right now, because we've got a wall that's going to occur here in a bathroom, right?

11:27Yes, we have a powder bath that's going to go right in here, and it kind of sits up underneath the stairs.

11:32Okay.

11:35So, one of the situations we ran into here is we have to remove the center of this wall,

11:40because the entire floor system is sitting on the center wall plus the roof system.

11:46We found that some of the walls that we thought we could just get rid of, the second floor will go boom.

11:53So, we still have to do the whoosh, but we've got to avoid the boom.

11:58So, our existing low-bearing wall that runs down the length of the middle of the house is going to have to be reconfigured.

12:06The openings aren't going to be where they used to be.

12:08That's correct.

12:09So, all the framing we're talking about here today, how far out do you think we're going?

12:13A week?

12:14Yeah, probably a week and a half.

12:16We have to put in the new walls here that define the spaces, rebuild everything.

12:21All of this kerfuffle with the framing is going to cost about two weeks of time.

12:27Okay, bud.

12:28Thank you very much.

12:29Thanks for coming by.

12:29See you soon.

12:30So, we had a little hiccup with the framing.

12:39Hello.

12:42There were some things buried inside the house from the way it was originally framed that wasn't apparent until things got opened up.

12:50Well, things have moved a little bit since I was here last.

12:53The framing issues, plus the kerfuffle that we had with the building inspections that took longer than perhaps they might have, has cost us this time.

13:03So, we're going to see how things are going.

13:06So, gas is inspected.

13:07Gas is inspected.

13:09Electrical is ready for inspection?

13:11Ready for inspection, yeah.

13:13Inspections are a necessary evil in construction, and it's a check to be sure that everything has been accounted for.

13:20Electrical, plumbing, any gas, and in Charleston, they can't happen all at once.

13:26After framing adjustments and waiting on inspections, this process has taken us two months.

13:32So, it sounds like we're probably hanging sheetrock week after next.

13:37That would be the hope.

13:38I think they should be able to insulate next week, and then they should be able to start hanging.

13:43Somebody eventually has to feel the pain of that, and it'll be Gray and Chelsea.

13:49But, uh, we're going to make that time up and get out of here on time.

14:02This is going to be a whole different house.

14:05Between the framing, the government, and their permit, we are finally getting into this place.

14:10It's about time.

14:12I'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.

14:21Yes.

14:21And then see if all these ideas are going to work in reality.

14:25I am stoked.

14:26We'll see how stoked you are when I show you what I have in mind.

14:30It's a beautiful entry.

14:32It's something that I wish I had at my house, and I don't.

14:34A foyer is just lovely.

14:35Yeah.

14:36The fact that this was, like, able to be opened up is going to give her exactly what she wanted.

14:41The foyer is a lot more functional now.

14:43The first time we walked in here, it was very difficult to even have a few people standing.

14:47Now it's a lot more comfortable to be in here.

14:49So I brought a few wallpaper samples.

14:53I brought this one, which is sort of, like, pink and purple.

14:56Caroline really loves purple.

14:58It's, like, her favorite color.

15:00And so I felt like purple really should be the first thing that greets her when she walks in the door.

15:05It's a bold decision.

15:06For me, this is the winner.

15:08It feels fun.

15:09It's, like, a great shade of purple.

15:11And it's timeless.

15:12So I want to do a purple trim.

15:14I just have to decide if I want to do the lighter purple or the darker purple.

15:18I want it to feel sophisticated while still being purple, which is, like, it's a hard task.

15:26Purple is the color of royalty, but it's normally done in a castle.

15:31Yeah.

15:32This is too electric.

15:34This is too light.

15:35These don't read sophistication if that's what we're going for.

15:38You know, you want to see it?

15:40Yeah, you can hold it.

15:42It's a very pretty tone of purple.

15:45Yeah.

15:45So we're going to go with the darker trim.

15:48It's this wallpaper that feels timeless and elegant.

15:52It feels sophisticated, and it's going to take very simple colors and elevate them the whole way through.

15:59It's so beautiful.

16:00Let's talk about the powder room before we go into the living room.

16:04When we talked about the powder room, they wanted something that was functional but also really fun and funky.

16:09So it feels like the perfect opportunity to, like, really lean farther into that purple for her hair.

16:16We have not just leaned in.

16:18We have fallen to the floor.

16:20I do have a little thing that I saw.

16:22It's a wall-mounted concrete sink that's dyed lavender.

16:25Oh my gosh, this is, like, probably literally the same.

16:28Hold on.

16:29This looks like the same exact color as the trim.

16:32Look at that.

16:32Oh my gosh.

16:34I do think this paint color is going to be too dark.

16:37So if we can just get them to lighten the same color.

16:41Yeah.

16:41We can really lean in to the purple, and I love a concrete sink.

16:46A sconce could be really good, too.

16:48This is going to be really good.

16:49Yeah.

16:50Let's go with the living room.

16:51Okay.

16:51I'm very, very excited about how this room is going to complement that but also transition to the kitchen.

16:59Purple in the foyer and the green in the living room, which I think it's really nice that she chose that color.

17:06And we get to sort of pay homage to what the home was when it was first built.

17:11Yeah, I love that idea.

17:13This says arsenic, and I know what the color that is.

17:18You're insane.

17:20Because she wants to really have this room feel, like, bright and colorful and cheerful, there's only one green that's in my brain.

17:31That's insane.

17:33Gray, we always take things into another level, but this is, oh my gosh.

17:41Let her dry.

17:42Gray, we've only used this color on floors before.

17:45Give her a minute to prove herself.

17:47I, this, I don't know if this is a reasonable color.

17:54Don't get me wrong.

17:55Okay, hear me out.

17:56I love arsenic.

17:58Hold on.

17:59I'm going to show you.

18:01Sometimes your choices are quite bold, and they scare the dar out of me.

18:06Boring.

18:09I don't love those.

18:10Lose fests.

18:13Wow.

18:15So it makes my belt feel extra tight today.

18:17I go through phases.

18:19It's like excitement, terror.

18:22Happiness and joy.

18:23Trying to find someone that agrees with me.

18:26And then making it work.

18:27And then it's beautiful at the end.

18:28Yeah.

18:29It's always, always annoyingly beautiful at the end.

18:34Oh, thanks.

18:35When they're separated by trim, it might actually help to make it feel a little bit better.

18:40It's contrasting.

18:42These colors are light and bright, and then it's got the dark in between.

18:47Technically, I don't really think there's a really good reason why this works together.

18:52There's no science behind it.

18:53You have to use your heart.

18:55And it looks good.

18:57I like it.

18:58It looks really pretty, and I don't know why I like it.

19:01I don't either.

19:02I really, really do.

19:04I know it's going to be good.

19:05I just don't know how yet.

19:07Another thing that happened when we were in the walkthrough is that I told the dad and he said I wanted to do a full dip in this room so that the ceiling would sort of just go away and it would make the room feel bigger.

19:18However, now that I'm in the space and I see the beams, I feel like it's something that I want to highlight instead of hide.

19:25So we'll lean into the arsenic green for the walls, but on the trim and the ceiling, I want to do a nice cream color that shows off the beams.

19:34We'll do a neutral rug and then pull in a purple sofa that ties in the color from the foyer and then use wood tones for the other furniture and then colorful art that ties into the kitchen.

19:46That's going to be really nice.

19:47So let's figure out how we transition it.

19:50Let's do the kitchen.

19:51Kitchen.

19:53All right.

19:54So kitchen, dining room.

19:56Let's focus in on the kitchen.

19:57When we first walked into this house, Caroline and David had the teeniest little kitchen tucked away in this little corner that you have to find.

20:07But now it's going to be like a main focal point of the house.

20:12We talked about a yellow.

20:13So this is a bit of a bolder option.

20:18And I like to pair it with an ivory on the walls.

20:21I need another paintbrush.

20:22Oh, that's a comb.

20:25That's a different kind of brush.

20:27That's my popcorn.

20:29I get snacky.

20:30There's really another, there's another brush with popcorn in it.

20:36Stop it, Gray.

20:38What's not in that bag is the question.

20:41First answer to that question is I have no idea.

20:45I think I feel it.

20:47It's like a clown car.

20:48Like it's just things keep coming out.

20:51Ridiculous.

20:52This is a softer, creamier yellow.

20:54It's popcorn color.

20:56Oh my gosh.

20:57Is there any way we can maybe add some wood tones?

21:03So David originally was very afraid of having a yellow kitchen because he didn't want it to feel like a country kitchen.

21:09I think some people have nostalgic references back to their childhood that they think of and they associate with certain things.

21:17I mean, color does not define style.

21:20Here, I'll give you some options.

21:22Well, I...

21:23You're welcome.

21:25Found that down the bottom of the bag.

21:26Oh, that was a cheesy one.

21:27Yeah, that's really beautiful.

21:31I really love that.

21:33The style of the cabinetry, the hardware, and the fabrics, and all the other things.

21:38It's going to be a modern-looking kitchen with some soul.

21:43So basically what floors will stay the hardwoods.

21:45There's going to be beautiful buttery yellow cabinetry that's going to separate the dining room from the kitchen, but it's also going to create so much storage.

21:54An island will be nice right here in the middle.

21:57Brass, wood and cream accents.

22:00Put some bar stools.

22:01Agreed.

22:02I love all of this.

22:03And now the question is, how do you make a dining room fancy but also casual?

22:07Well, let me tell you.

22:09All right.

22:10There you go.

22:10I'm such a nice lady.

22:13Okay.

22:14I'm really excited about the dining room.

22:16So there's a wallpaper that I've wanted to use for a very long time.

22:19Don't look at it.

22:20We've been wanting to use this forever.

22:22I love this paper.

22:25I feel like, okay.

22:25It's got the purple and the yellow.

22:27It's got the arsenic green.

22:29What I was about to say.

22:30And it's got the creamy background to go in the kitchen.

22:34It is, as my dad would say, the rosetta still.

22:38So in this room, we're going to wallpaper.

22:41We're going to find a beautiful buffet and bring the same yellow trim into the space.

22:47Maybe lacquer a piece of furniture.

22:49Lavender tones.

22:50Yeah.

22:50I think it takes it up a notch.

22:52A beautiful chandelier and have a dining room table that really takes the cake.

22:56I got it in my car.

22:57So you've been leading me on the whole time because you knew you had to do it.

23:00You had this in your back pocket.

23:02See, you just had to trust.

23:04All right.

23:06I'd feel better if we got in some AC, though.

23:14We are one month away from install at this point.

23:17It's gone slow between weather and framing issues.

23:20So we've really got to get to it.

23:22Oh, my gosh.

23:23It's starting.

23:24Hello, Calvin.

23:25Hi, Calvin.

23:26Hello there.

23:27Today, we're going to go see Calvin.

23:28We have these beautiful stools that we just got in.

23:31And we also have some really lovely fabric that we want to get them upholstered with.

23:36You changed the colors.

23:37Yeah.

23:37It's pretty.

23:39Gray Bencoat.

23:40She has, once again, bowed my mind and customized this fabric.

23:44It has every single color that's going to be in the Dabney's house.

23:47The cabinet's the yellow.

23:48It needs to run that one.

23:50I think I like it like that.

23:51Yeah, because the cabinet's sitting back behind you.

23:53It needs to go up to the cabinet.

23:55If this man says it goes this way, then it goes this way.

23:58I agree with Calvin.

24:00It's gorgeous.

24:00So, but anything we can pick him up in like a week and a half-ish?

24:03Sure.

24:04Won't be no problem.

24:05Bye, Calvin.

24:06Bye-bye.

24:07Bye-bye.

24:07I'm really excited to get into the Dabney house because cabinetry is going in.

24:21And we get to see the footprint of their kitchen, finally.

24:29Oh, my goodness.

24:31It's so nice to see these cabinets and hearing the color.

24:34I feel like it's coming together.

24:36I have a question.

24:38That was me feeling panicked.

24:39I still feel scared about this island.

24:42We need to go as far as we can this way with the oven still being able to open.

24:46Correct.

24:46I'm just nervous about once we do the hangover.

24:51It's right here.

24:52And then the bar stool.

24:54Are you sitting?

24:54Are you trying to...

24:55Yeah, see?

24:56Between your butt and the wall, it's not a lot room.

24:59Let's not get so aggressive.

25:01So 36 inches is the standard minimum between two pieces of kitchen furniture, let's say.

25:09So cabinetry to cabinetry.

25:11And this is over that.

25:12But it is very, very tight.

25:14It's like a two-butt kitchen.

25:16And that's about it.

25:17One-butt kitchen.

25:18Oh, that's...

25:19You need to get out of it.

25:21You got a bump butt to get by.

25:24If we brought the island in slightly, and then maybe instead of doing a traditional 12-inch

25:30overhang, we brought that down to maybe 10, even maybe 8 inches, it could really make this

25:38feel like it's got a lower profile.

25:40The good news is, the island is here, and it's placed, but it's not secure.

25:45So we can, once the stone gets on there, and we get the countertops and everything set

25:50officially, we can make sure it's perfect.

25:52Yeah.

25:53All right.

25:53I got to go home.

25:55Okay.

25:55That sounds great.

25:56Things to do.

25:57Things are moving quickly.

25:58The cabinetry is in, so that's great.

26:00But we really have to make sure that we keep the speed up to make sure that things are happening

26:05on time so that we can hit the deadline that we need to hit for this project.

26:10And it's coming up quickly.

26:11And making me nervous.

26:25This project has been a bit of a doozy, but we have really big things happening right

26:30now.

26:30We've got paint going up, cabinetry is going in.

26:35We are just one week away from finishing up, and I could not be more excited.

26:40Oh boy, Kelsey.

26:46Why did you say, oh boy?

26:49Because it's not the right color.

26:51I mean, the arsenic is the right color, so it's not in the right place.

26:54So, let's play opposite day.

26:59Everything that's painted arsenic was supposed to be cream.

27:03Are there people even available that can fix it?

27:06The fireplace and the ceiling was supposed to be the same cream that's going to be in the

27:11rest of the house.

27:12Okay.

27:13All right.

27:13Well, I kind of love some of the changes that the painters made.

27:19That's a way to be positive.

27:22Okay.

27:22This is what I want from you.

27:23So, completely blank slate, you now have a room that you're standing in, and you can

27:28look at it and, once again, make a decision seeing a lot more of the color in the room.

27:34What would you do in a perfect world?

27:38How does her process go?

27:40Um, she walks around the room.

27:43She thinks about every possible situation.

27:47So, that's where it turns purple.

27:51So, you'll be standing in this room, and you'll see green trim, purple trim, yellow trim.

27:58Does that feel insane?

28:00You know?

28:01I'm so sorry, friend.

28:03Have you met Gray Benko, my business partner?

28:05The lady with the pink sofa in the rainbow house?

28:09I mean, I think...

28:09Yeah, I think there's going to be plenty of color in this house.

28:11It's in color, kind of our thing.

28:14She ponders and thinks and thinks and ponders, and then finally comes to a conclusion that

28:20no one else on the planet would come to.

28:22Hi, girl.

28:23What you doing?

28:23Hey.

28:25I'm coming in.

28:25Why?

28:26Why?

28:26I feel like we're going to get in trouble.

28:28No.

28:29I figured you should feel like you're already in trouble.

28:31For once, we didn't do it.

28:33Okay.

28:34You can fix anything, right, Grunt?

28:38I don't know.

28:38Now that I'm in here, I think it was a happy accident, because I actually think that the

28:44arsenic on the trim is really nice.

28:47It looks really, really nice.

28:48I'm very lucky to have Gray Benko as my business partner.

28:52She will probably die if she ever hears me say this, but not everybody gets to work with

28:57somebody who, in my personal opinion, is like a color genius.

29:00The walls are going to be arsenic.

29:03We need to paint the fireplace and the ceiling the cream color that they were supposed to

29:09be, and everything else can stay the same.

29:11All right.

29:11Well, let's get to moving.

29:12Okay.

29:13Thanks.

29:14Thanks.

29:14All right.

29:14Let's go.

29:23Calvin.

29:24Hello.

29:25Hello there.

29:26Today, we are going to get six dining room chairs with skirting.

29:32Very excited about the skirting.

29:33And four stools for the island.

29:35And that is why we brought Grumpy to get some muscle.

29:39All right.

29:40So you got some stools for us?

29:42Sure.

29:42I have a few of them.

29:43They're all boxed up, ready to roll.

29:45I see no boxes.

29:46Calvin.

29:46Oh, we see the boxes on the back.

29:48I pulled two out of the box.

29:51Oh, my gosh.

29:53Those are fun.

29:54It's beautiful.

29:56Those chairs belong to the Dabneys, and they were in bad shape.

30:00And so a really quick fix to fix drabby chairs is you can reupholster them for almost nothing.

30:06Like, totally were able to breathe new life into these chairs by just changing the fabric.

30:11Calvin, these are beautiful.

30:13Thank you so much.

30:15Yeah.

30:15They got the mini skirt.

30:16They got the mini skirt.

30:17They got them.

30:18The piping's got a little pop to it, too.

30:21It honestly looks more expensive.

30:23And so if you can upgrade your details just a little bit by adding a contrasting piping

30:28or a fun little skirt, it changes the look of everything and also elevates the style.

30:33Even I noticed it, and I'm just a mule.

30:36Oh, my gosh.

30:37All right.

30:37We got it.

30:38Calvin.

30:39You're welcome.

30:40Thank you, always.

30:40Oh, that's a really handy stop.

30:42Oh, my gosh.

30:44I thought we were playing Tetris.

30:49Oh, that was quite smooth.

31:00There is a ton of work happening at the Dabney House.

31:03The trim has been painted in the foyer, the powder room, and the dining room.

31:07The painters are here fixing the ceiling and the fireplace paint.

31:12The island is locked into its new position.

31:14The new hood is looking great.

31:17All the cabinets are almost in.

31:19And Chelsea is going to check on the progress.

31:22Hey!

31:24What?

31:24Look at this kitchen.

31:25Look.

31:27Let me see.

31:29Let's see.

31:31And the island is perfectly placed to the stove.

31:35Moving it that little bit, that tiny little bit, it made all the difference.

31:39It's much, much roomier in here, and it looks great.

31:42I'm so smart.

31:43Are you?

31:43Where are you at?

31:45I'm in my office.

31:46That's a beautiful view.

31:48Okay, well, I think that I'm going to move on and go look at the wallpaper.

31:52Okay, look at my wall.

31:53All right.

31:54Melissa!

31:55Chelsea!

31:57You're right here!

31:58Hey, good morning!

32:01It's here!

32:02Oh my gosh!

32:05I don't know.

32:06This is a wallpaper that we have dreamed of using for years.

32:10I mean, it's gorgeous.

32:12It's this natural lighting in here.

32:14It's going to be beautiful.

32:14It's going to be so amazing, and I cannot wait to see this in the face.

32:20Let's go look at the foyer.

32:23It's so pretty!

32:27Isn't it amazing?

32:28The purple on the ceiling looks perfect with the paper.

32:31I love it with all of my heart.

32:33I'm just obsessed.

32:36I feel so classy looking.

32:38Yes.

32:38I was having a hard time picturing the ceiling being purple also, but it ties everything together.

32:42I think it looks like it was always meant to be purple.

32:44It's really nice.

32:45It's really, really nice.

32:47Everything looks so good, but there is still so much to do.

32:51Thank you for always coming through.

32:53You're the best.

32:54So I'm going to get out of the way so these cabinet guys can do all the finishing touches.

32:59The built-ins also need trim, and some of the wallpaper still needs to be hung.

33:04The living room is being repainted today.

33:06I'm not stressed at all.

33:08All right, everybody.

33:19Hey, how's everybody feeling?

33:22So, okay, so Grumpy has put us in a bit of a pickle.

33:26I thought you liked pickles.

33:28Celesta!

33:29Not the kind you can't eat.

33:31We don't like those pickles.

33:32Clearly.

33:33Long story short, there was framing issues, things being delayed, which puts people in our direct vicinity while we're trying to do our thing.

33:43It's crazy in here, right?

33:45It's complete chaos.

33:47It seems like there's some, like, table-setting stuff missing.

33:49Do you see the napkins?

33:51Maybe there's some stuff still on the moving trucks?

33:54I don't know how we're going to get this done in the next, like, how many hours do we have left?

33:57Yeah, the good news is we fixed your mix-up on the paint.

34:00No, no, no, no, no, no.

34:02Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

34:04Not our mix-up.

34:05It doesn't matter.

34:06The paint's good.

34:07The trim is good.

34:08It's going to be great.

34:09It is going to be great.

34:11We just need to, like, less talking, more doing.

34:14So, yes to this mirror.

34:15Okay.

34:18It's beautiful.

34:20I love it.

34:21It goes well with the paint colors.

34:23I think so.

34:23Yeah.

34:23I need to start pulling things that I can get up on these shelves.

34:29Chelsea, you need to start pulling the furniture and telling people where everything belongs.

34:34Yes.

34:35Make sure that there's any extra lamps anywhere.

34:38And, Dad, you need to fill in where it's necessary and also be mentally prepared to get furniture in place.

34:46Yes, completely agree.

34:47I'm going to need a break after this.

34:53How's it going, fellas?

34:55Let's be very honest.

34:56Please.

34:56When it comes to the clutch moments, Grumpy always comes through.

35:00Ooh, you brought the chairs?

35:02Yeah.

35:02Okay.

35:03Thank you, Dad.

35:03So many shelves.

35:09So this house has a lot of shelves.

35:11Oftentimes, when I style shelves, I find that the best thing to do is to start with the books.

35:17Because books, they're practical.

35:19They take up a lot of space.

35:21And it's good to help ground objects.

35:23So I get all the books where they feel balanced.

35:27And then I come in with the objects and the art afterwards and start to fill in the holes as I see them.

35:34Yeah.

35:34Sometimes even you pull the colors off of the art onto the shelves.

35:39Like, it's really, it's more intricate than you think it is.

35:43I think that if we put this lamp in this corner and we have that lamp in this corner, that's enough lamps.

35:49I'm starting to realize just how much there still is to do.

35:53There's a lot to do.

35:55No, to the right.

35:57More.

35:58More.

35:59More?

35:59That's not true, Dad.

36:01The clock is TikTok-ing.

36:03And we don't have a lot of time to do it in.

36:11I'm excited for them to see the living room.

36:14I feel like we took a really big chance with that arsenic color.

36:18It's so bright.

36:20But I'm so happy with how it turned out.

36:22Hello!

36:22Hi-bye!

36:24Somehow, we were able to finish it.

36:26I mean, I can't believe we got it done.

36:28I might have slept for an hour and a half.

36:30Are you nervous?

36:31Like the good kind of Christmas morning nerves.

36:33But I could not be happier with how it turned out.

36:36It's just, it's so bright and colorful and happy.

36:39And I can't wait to hand their house back over to them.

36:42The amount of change that has happened since you guys were here last, it's a completely different home than the home that you get with the keys to.

36:49And I'm just so excited for you guys to see it.

36:51We're excited, too!

36:52I know.

36:52Is it the time?

36:53Are you ready?

36:54Yeah!

36:54Okay, well, let's go, Leo.

36:57Let's do it.

36:57Y'all first.

36:58Oh, my gosh!

37:06So good!

37:07You really wanted this space to feel classic, but colorful.

37:12And you said purple was your favorite color.

37:14So I really feel like the wallpaper that we chose, it was a home room.

37:18So neat.

37:19It's so pretty.

37:20Yeah, and look, we can all fit inside of it.

37:22There's plenty of room for all of us.

37:25This looks amazing.

37:27Okay, so we're happy in here.

37:29Yeah.

37:30So we're able to, right behind that purple door, find a powder room for you.

37:34Would you like to see it?

37:35Yeah, let's do it.

37:36Yes.

37:40Wow!

37:42Whoa!

37:43Oh, look how cute it looks!

37:45Look at our sink, it's purple, too!

37:47Is the sink cement?

37:48It is, you love the purple sink.

37:50I am obsessed with that.

37:52That is so cool.

37:53Look at the sconces!

37:55Yeah, it looks great.

37:55It looks so good.

37:56Look at all the little details are so cute.

37:58See the teeny, tiniest rug you've ever seen.

38:01I love it.

38:03All right, let's go see the living room.

38:04We went for it.

38:05Okay.

38:05But I think it's really beautiful.

38:07Yeah?

38:08Can I look now?

38:08Yes, you can look.

38:09Yes, you can look.

38:12Oh my gosh, I don't even know where to look.

38:15Look at this.

38:17Oh my gosh.

38:19Oh, look at the couch!

38:21It's purple!

38:22I know!

38:24This looks so good.

38:26Can I touch it?

38:27Yes!

38:27Do whatever you want.

38:28It's so pretty.

38:30Oh my gosh.

38:32This is amazing.

38:33It is.

38:33It's completely transformed in the exposed beams.

38:38Having that extra height really makes it feel bigger.

38:40It does, yeah.

38:41Like, I didn't expect it to feel this big.

38:44Yeah.

38:44It's just right.

38:45David, how do you feel about the arsenic?

38:47As with the purple, I was kind of thinking, you know, how's that going to go together?

38:51But it's great.

38:52I love it.

38:53A color like this.

38:54Like, it's so bright, but it goes away because it's not about the walls.

38:59It's about the vibe of whole space.

39:01You know, the whole room is just a vibe now.

39:03Standing here and, like, looking through into the purple is one of my favorite things.

39:08Yes.

39:08Really, really amazing.

39:10My cheeks hurt from smiling.

39:12Like, I could not have imagined it would turn out like this.

39:14We can actually have more than two people over at our house now and have a nice time entertaining people.

39:20Well, you know, as nice as this space is, you know where people congregate.

39:24In the kitchen.

39:25They're congregating in the kitchen.

39:26Everyone always wants to be in the kitchen.

39:28Yeah, that's right.

39:28Let's go see what we got.

39:30Okay, all right.

39:32This is so pretty.

39:34I mean, it looks great.

39:35It's just a big kitchen.

39:36It already looks great.

39:40Oh, my gosh, I'm going to cry.

39:41This is so pretty.

39:42This is, like, absolutely beyond.

39:46This is amazing.

39:50Whoa!

39:50Look at all of our things here on display.

39:54Like, all of our stuff looks like grown-up stuff in here.

39:57Oh, my gosh.

39:58Oh, look at the subway tile.

40:00Oh, my gosh.

40:01Look at all the hardware.

40:03This is so pretty.

40:06Okay, so I know you guys were worried about the yellow feeling like it would give country kitchen vibes.

40:12Does this feel like a country kitchen?

40:13No, not at all.

40:14No.

40:14This is completely timeless and elegant.

40:16Yeah.

40:17And I love the unlacquered brass.

40:19It's so pretty.

40:21It's so, so pretty.

40:23This is amazing.

40:26I love it.

40:26There's enough room over here.

40:28There's plenty of room in the middle because it could have been, like, tight.

40:31There's plenty of space to entertain in here.

40:33And then it's so open to this space, so, like, people can just kind of be in and out.

40:37There's a really good flow, I think.

40:38It's opening up between two spaces like this makes them both bigger.

40:43Love it.

40:45Are you guys ready to see the dining room?

40:46Yeah.

40:47Yeah.

40:47Okay.

40:47Okay, let's go.

40:48Let's go see it.

40:53Oh, wow.

40:55Oh, my gosh.

40:57Like, this is a proper dining room.

40:59Look at this wallpaper.

41:01You drew all this.

41:02I did.

41:03I got it.

41:05This is all framed out, like, so nicely.

41:07Look at this.

41:08Look at this rug, how well it goes with everything.

41:10And it goes with the marble on your furniture piece that we painted.

41:14Oh, I didn't even recognize that.

41:16Look at that.

41:18This room was destined to be a dining room.

41:19It was.

41:20Yeah.

41:20It was.

41:21No doubt.

41:22Like, the happiest formal day.

41:24So happy.

41:26It doesn't feel like we get to live here.

41:28Like, I can't believe we get to live here.

41:30The way that this house started to what it is today, it's hard to believe it's you in the same house.

41:36You're only lacking one thing.

41:38What's that?

41:39And that's a wait again.

41:40Thank you to us.

41:41Keep it.

41:43I have to hug you again.

41:44Thank you guys so much.

41:46We trusted you guys from the get-go, and the result is just spectacular.

41:49We'll get out of your way.

41:51Bye, guys.

41:53Just walking and seeing all that color, seeing how it all came together, it just made our jaws drop.

41:59What do you think?

42:01I just, like, felt right when we opened the doors.

42:04You know, it's like, oh, you see this, and then, oh, you see this.

42:06But you see the middle and the anchor, and it all feels right.

42:09Happy birthday, Mama.

42:12Kids can go upstairs.

42:13They can have some space up there.

42:15We can relax in here with our friends.

42:17I think it's just going to be really, really nice to have that room to grow and spread out.

42:21No.

42:21I think it is.

42:22I know.

42:22I think it's just going to be really nice.

42:23We're so excited.

42:23Let's look.

42:24We'll see you next time.

42:26We'll see you.
