00:00Many people think I live alone, but in truth, I have a wife, and here's the proof.
00:09So, what's the dynamic between Gray and me?
00:13It's been very surprising.
00:16I'm very proud of you for being able to herd Gray, and it's also made y'all a lot closer than you ever were.
00:25Yes. Who'd have thunk it?
00:28Who'd have thunk that would ever have happened?
00:31I'm Gray Benko, an interior designer in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
00:36I bring pattern, color, and creativity into my clients' homes, alongside my partner, Crying Chelsea.
00:43I'm an interior designer extraordinaire who also keeps me in check.
00:47Nope, no, let's drag it.
00:49And my general contractor, Grumpy, who can build anything that we dream of.
00:52You don't need me? I don't need you.
00:54And also happens to be my dad.
00:56Oh, my gosh.
00:57There's color everywhere.
01:00Despite my name, my world is a rainbow.
01:03This is the Herdericks.
01:05Their house was built in, I think, the 1930s.
01:08They're just having to change things up because they have a toddler and a teenager.
01:12Yup.
01:13And her father, who I think is about your age.
01:15Oh, another old guy.
01:16Is spending more and more time here.
01:18So, they need a lot more storage and an extra bedroom, and this is it.
01:21This is it?
01:22Yes.
01:23The Herderick home is classic Charleston style.
01:271930s, the moldings, the way the exterior, the way the house presents itself to the street.
01:33It's a classic style.
01:34Hi.
01:35Welcome.
01:36How are you?
01:37We need to get in there and figure out how we can give them the extra space that they need and how we can give them an addition to their home that still feels historic like the rest of their house.
01:49Well, y'all's house is already really, really beautiful.
01:53We renovated in 2018, and now we have a 13-year-old and a 2-year-old.
01:57So, we're just looking to make the home more functional.
02:00We need more storage, need a little bit more privacy.
02:03My dad's here a lot, which we love, but we only have three bedrooms.
02:07So, to create more space would be fantastic.
02:10Okay.
02:11Do you guys want to show us around?
02:13Yeah.
02:14We'll show you the living room first.
02:17So, we're wanting to create more of a study, but don't have an exact plan for this room.
02:22Okay.
02:23I work at home sometimes.
02:25He works at home sometimes, so maybe some built-in storage.
02:28But in a room where we have some privacy away from the kids at times.
02:32What do you want it to feel like when you walk in?
02:34He already lives with three women, so I do want it to be more masculine.
02:38How about you?
02:39No, I'm also masculine.
02:40So, sort of moody?
02:42Yeah.
02:43I'd love to see these blinds go away.
02:45We can make those go away today.
02:47That would be fantastic.
02:48Yeah, they can go.
02:49Yeah.
02:50Obviously, this room is very open to the rest of the house.
02:52It is.
02:53We might need to close everything in just a little bit.
02:55Yeah.
02:56Closing in these openings, it gives you a place to put some base cabinetry and bookcases,
03:01which gives it more of the feel of an office.
03:03Yes.
03:04Maybe a built-in desk of some kind.
03:06Yeah.
03:07I think that would be great.
03:08All right.
03:09So, let's talk about colors.
03:10Yeah.
03:11I think anything darker.
03:12Greens, blues.
03:13Are there any colors that you guys want to stay away from?
03:16Pink.
03:17What?
03:18Okay.
03:19Done.
03:20Check.
03:21I didn't see you as a paint guy.
03:22One thing we have not discussed is timeline.
03:25We would really like to be in by early June.
03:28We have a temporary apartment that we can stay in until then.
03:31Okay.
03:32If not, we're going to be with his parents.
03:35Oh, that sounds fun.
03:36Speaking for the grandparents of the world, we are going to get this project done on time,
03:41so Morgan's parents can regain their sanity.
03:45I don't know that everyone feels the same about their children.
03:48I'd love for you all to come and visit.
03:51I'd love to have a house full of you for like three days.
03:55Why did we make name you Grumpy again?
03:58For good reason.
04:00Yes.
04:01So, if this is a living room and it becomes an office, what do we do for a living room then?
04:06Well, you can figure it out.
04:08Okay.
04:09So, what's next?
04:10Next, we're going into the dining room.
04:12Okay.
04:13So, what's the problem here?
04:18It's beautiful.
04:19Well, it's one of our biggest rooms in the house.
04:22So, it's just more functionality.
04:24We want this to be welcoming for friends.
04:28So, we need to figure out storage, furniture placement.
04:32Yeah.
04:33I think it's a design thing.
04:34It's not a construction thing.
04:36The room's got plenty of space to do what you want it to do.
04:39Yeah.
04:40That'd be great.
04:41Okay.
04:42So, this is all you.
04:43I've got nothing to do with it.
04:45There's no construction happening in there.
04:47Have at it.
04:48Keeps it easy for me.
04:50Next room.
04:51This is your area of the house.
04:52Okay.
04:53So, why don't you take them into the kitchen?
04:54Yeah.
04:55Let's go.
04:56You're the kitchen guy.
04:57Okay.
05:00Well, this is a beautiful kitchen.
05:03Your cabinets are great.
05:04They are.
05:05You want to keep your existing cabinets.
05:06We do.
05:07What do you want to do in here?
05:08We would certainly like to see more space in general.
05:11Storage.
05:12A bigger island.
05:13And this area seems to be where everyone congregates.
05:15So, it can seem pretty small at times.
05:17I think we need a bigger house.
05:18Yeah.
05:19We've taken away our living room and we need another bedroom.
05:23Yeah.
05:24So, where are we going to have all those things?
05:26Yeah.
05:27And there's only one place for those things to be and that's out there.
05:31Right.
05:32You've got this sitting room area here off the kitchen.
05:36Which is the current play room.
05:37That's right.
05:38Correct.
05:39Yes.
05:40It seems to me that we're going to need to go off the back of the house here.
05:43Yeah.
05:44You've got a screen porch back there.
05:46What if we take that porch, bring it all the way over to this wall and make that one big space.
05:52We're going to have a bedroom over there, living room there, get rid of this wall and let this all be kitchen.
05:59I mean, I think that's a great idea.
06:01I think it solves a lot of our issues of adding the fourth bedroom along with giving us more living room space.
06:08Four months is not a lot of time to add on half a house and at the same time maintain the style and character of the existing house.
06:20It's going to be a lot to do.
06:22Be easy peasy.
06:24It solves some problems but it also creates some problems at the same time because this whole return of cabinets disappears when we do that.
06:33But if we reconfigure this and the island maybe shifts down a little bit, I'm not sure.
06:40With these walls coming out in their entirety, could the island go this direction?
06:46I don't think it can.
06:48How far would it come out here?
06:49Because it's too big.
06:51We'll have to relocate the sink and dishwasher from this wall into the island so it'll be too wide and too long and it's going to wind it getting pinched over here.
07:00OK.
07:01Without the walls, the shiplap just ends so maybe you just do it in the whole room.
07:06I think that makes the most sense.
07:07Perfect.
07:08Personally.
07:09OK.
07:10Do you have any concerns with those being the only two windows in this space with all the natural light that we have?
07:16Well, you're still going to have windows in the living room.
07:20OK.
07:21But we could swap those out for larger floor to ceiling windows.
07:24Just getting as much natural light in the new living room as we can.
07:28OK.
07:29But when you think about how you want the new living room to feel, what are your thoughts?
07:34I think really comfy, where people can lounge, a lot of seating.
07:38Because you're concerned about the light, I think light and airy would be good for that room.
07:44Are you guys aligned with that?
07:45Yes.
07:46OK.
07:47I feel really good.
07:48You feel good?
07:49Yeah, yeah.
07:50Let me ask one other thing.
07:51The extra bedroom's got to go out on that porch because that's the only place left.
07:55But who's this bedroom going to be for?
07:57It's going to be for our 13-year-old Baylor.
07:59Shouldn't Baylor be part of this conversation?
08:01Yeah, she's here.
08:02I can grab her if you want me to.
08:03Oh, great.
08:05And while she's doing that, I'll take you out of the porch.
08:06OK.
08:07Let's do it.
08:08These clients, they're not our hot pink dining room clients.
08:12They're a little bit.
08:13Not everyone is.
08:14Most people are not.
08:15They like color.
08:17But they're a little bit more subdued than some of the homes that we've been in the past.
08:20Not a problem for me.
08:21I'm not in charge of color, so.
08:23You're very colorful today, though.
08:25Yeah.
08:26This is a screened-in porch.
08:28All right.
08:29We love this space, but it's just an area that we have not utilized.
08:33Baylor, this is your room.
08:34How do you want the room to feel when it's done?
08:36I like light blues.
08:38You like light blues?
08:39OK.
08:40Kind of just basic colors.
08:41OK.
08:42Like a built-in desk area where I can do homework and shelves.
08:48OK.
08:49This is the simplest thing I've ever done in my life.
08:52OK.
08:53Well, you go.
08:54On one of the walls, do built-ins with plenty of shelves and a desk.
08:58Once you put a bed and dresser in there, that's that.
09:01OK.
09:02Done.
09:03Oh, so now it's easy?
09:04Easy peasy.
09:05OK.
09:06So you guys have any reservations?
09:08Yeah.
09:09We're ready to go.
09:10I know I would have some if I were you.
09:12So are you ready to hand us over the key to your house?
09:15Yeah.
09:16It's all yours.
09:17All right, guys.
09:18So we'll see you in four months.
09:20OK.
09:21With them, we're going to go for something more subdued than our typical client.
09:26But I still feel like we're going to be able to make it beautiful, colorful, and visually
09:32interesting that really fits like the whole vibe and feel of downtown Charleston.
09:37I have no doubt you'll pull it off.
09:39Thanks, Dad.
09:51So today we get started with construction.
09:55So the roof's coming off.
09:57The superstructure of the deck has now all been removed.
10:01They've laid up almost all the foundation piers.
10:05Then they'll be ready to frame this thing up.
10:08The crew have been working very hard at framing the addition here at Herderick.
10:24We only have four months to get this project done in order to get the Herdericks back in
10:28the house before Baylor goes back to school.
10:31Good morning, sweetie.
10:32Hi, Dad.
10:33I'm at Herdericks.
10:35We're all framed up.
10:36The roof is going on right now.
10:38That's amazing.
10:39You want to see there.
10:42Wow.
10:43Yeah.
10:44I know that one of Lauren's primary concerns was whether or not we have enough light in
10:49the kitchen.
10:50But now that I see these openings framed up, we can see how much light is coming in.
10:55I'm not worried about it.
10:56I think we'll be fine.
10:57Well, go ahead.
10:58It should be in the leaves.
10:59Yep.
11:00Yep.
11:01That's all I've got from legwork gone.
11:03Okay.
11:04Bye.
11:05Bye-bye.
11:26Right now, the addition is just that.
11:28It's an addition.
11:29When the wall comes down between the addition and the kitchen, it now becomes part of the
11:33entire house.
11:34So now we're going to see how these spaces live and work together and complement each
11:39other.
11:40Well, good morning, Tripp.
11:41Good morning.
11:42How are you doing?
11:43Great.
11:44How are you?
11:45I'm all right.
11:46Good to see you.
11:47I survived the drive in this morning.
11:48Yes, sir.
11:49This is a big day for the kitchen, huh?
11:50Yeah.
11:51Tear this wall out of here.
11:52Open up.
11:53Lauren, having lived in that kitchen with that big bank of windows outside of her kitchen sink
11:56all this time.
11:57Right.
11:58She's been concerned about how much light she's going to have in that kitchen once this is
12:02added.
12:03So a big tell today will be, we'll get this wall out of here between the kitchen and here.
12:07It's going to give the kitchen more light.
12:09So I'm looking forward to getting that opened up.
12:11We'll see what we got.
12:12Be nice to see.
12:13Yes, sir.
12:14Yep.
12:15The crew's doing a fine job taking the walls down, but I don't think they should have
12:29all the fun.
12:30There.
12:31This didn't go away.
12:44As soon as we started taking this wall down, I could tell that we're going to be right
12:47where we need to be with light in that kitchen.
12:50The west wall is filled with windows that will light that kitchen and make it a happy
12:55spot.
12:56So next week, drywall goes in.
12:59Then Gray and Chelsea can get inside that space and feel it and really get moving with
13:03it.
13:04I brought my back.
13:09As a designer, I love it.
13:12It's a new, it's a new look.
13:14We have two months left to get this entire project and all five spaces completely finished.
13:19We got it.
13:20We got it.
13:21I know.
13:22So today we're going to go into the house and make some of our big design decisions.
13:26This design is, you know, slightly different than our norm.
13:29It's not quite in your face.
13:30This is more like subtle sophistication.
13:32Do they want this room to feel moody, lots of blues and greens.
13:39This lounge.
13:40Moody man study.
13:41With storage.
13:42With storage.
13:43With storage.
13:44Blue's greens.
13:45I already like it.
13:46Oh gosh.
13:47This looks very much the same.
13:50As a color expert, I feel like you can clearly see the difference.
13:56I know I can.
13:58This one is stone blue.
14:01It does actually feel different.
14:03I brought one more sample.
14:06It's feeling very light only I think because we're on such a dark wall.
14:12I think it feels very light.
14:14Yeah.
14:15It's so important to see the actual paint in the room that it's going to live in because
14:21I can hold up a paint swatch at my house or at her house.
14:25Or heaven forbid a paint store.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Where there's fluorescent light.
14:29Right.
14:30And it looks completely different.
14:33Just.
14:34Let's be real.
14:35This is not moody moody.
14:37Like navy is moody.
14:39Well we can add mood with other elements, not just color.
14:42Right.
14:43This is clearly the better, darker option.
14:45It'll feel moody but not dark.
14:47It'll feel cozy.
14:49The paint certainly helps but it's also about the other elements that you bring into the
14:54space.
14:55You know.
14:56These are some upholstery fabrics that we could use.
14:58It's the feeling.
14:59The furnishings and the antiques and the fabrics.
15:03It's the layers that you apply to a room.
15:06I feel like one of the key things when you want a space to feel cozy is to for me is never
15:14leave the ceiling white.
15:16You want to bring that color up on to the ceiling.
15:19Like you want to feel like you're like in a cocoon.
15:23It's supposed to be a masculine room.
15:25Built-in book shelving on this wall with the built-in desk.
15:29Sofa.
15:30Drapes.
15:31Funky art.
15:32Funky art.
15:33Coffee table.
15:34Chair.
15:35Pool rug.
15:36Okay.
15:37So dining room.
15:38Okay.
15:39Okay.
15:40The homeowner actually found this wallpaper.
15:42So.
15:43I'm glad because that's stunning.
15:44Mm-hmm.
15:45I'm going to go ahead and firmly state that if this wallpaper is official now.
15:50Mm-hmm.
15:51This is going to be the coolest room in the house.
15:52It's going to be good.
15:53It's going to be good.
15:54Well like the easiest answer here and sometimes the easiest is the best would be to carry trim.
16:00The two rooms are definitely going to touch.
16:03So with that being so bold.
16:05Well there will be a door here.
16:07Yeah, but it'll be open a lot and the trim will be on either side of this.
16:10Agreed.
16:11Let's try that color.
16:12These two rooms are going to be very functionally different.
16:15One is cozy.
16:17It's a study.
16:18The other one is a dining room.
16:20It's more formal.
16:21The fact that they are sitting here smacked up against each other.
16:26There needs to be something that ties these very different spaces together.
16:29And one of those things can easily just be paint.
16:32We always talk about how the rooms talk to one another.
16:35This is one of the ways you can maybe whisper a little bit without fully committing to that one color.
16:44Oh gosh, they could all work.
16:45What are you doing?
16:46I can't look at them all at the same time.
16:48I need to like have this moment and then this moment and that moment.
16:53Okay.
16:54I like both of these.
16:55I like the, I like both of those.
16:57I think this one allows the wallpaper to be the center of attention.
17:03This one is like more contrasty.
17:07This feels right to me.
17:09It pulls in the paint from that space and what really lets the wallpaper shine.
17:13So decision made, we're going with the same blue as in the study.
17:17I love that.
17:18Okay.
17:19So we're going to give her the wallpaper of her dreams.
17:21We're going to go with the same trim color as we're doing in the study to allow the wallpaper to shine.
17:27Take this chandelier, move it into the study, find something that has more bulbs, get a nice round table, console, art, leave these windows open.
17:37Yeah.
17:38It allows lots of light.
17:39Yes.
17:40Bing, bang, boom.
17:41Let's go.
17:42Kitchen?
17:43Yeah.
17:44The addition is dried in.
17:53We've got walls and ceilings and we can get in there and do our thing now.
17:58Okay.
17:59So this room, extension of the kitchen, it's going to have to work with the current cabinetry.
18:04This kitchen is obviously very white.
18:06There's a lot of white in the kitchen.
18:08Yes, there is a lot of white.
18:09But I feel like with this new storage piece that we're going to add, it's a great opportunity to add a pop of color.
18:16Yeah.
18:17So let's just test it out.
18:19Okay, I was preparing for you to say the pink.
18:22No.
18:23Okay.
18:24This one.
18:25This is going to be our only paint pop.
18:27Pink might be taking it too far.
18:30For this space, because there's nothing else in this room or any of the ones that touch it that call to that.
18:36Let's do this one.
18:37Okay.
18:38We're for sure going to go green.
18:39Yeah.
18:40I'm thinking we need some Roman shades, obviously, with fabric.
18:44It's not quite.
18:46Is it too sweet though with that very moody dining room?
18:50It could be.
18:51It could be.
18:52It's a very, it's definitely a vibe change.
18:54I mean, I'm seeing this other one you pulled right here.
18:56I really love that.
18:58That color is exactly the same color as the storage cabinetry.
19:02Right.
19:03Okay.
19:04Love it.
19:05So walls will match the rest of the kitchen.
19:07Cabinetry is going to be this pretty green color.
19:09Roman shades in this gorgeous fabric.
19:11We're probably going to need to find a rug, some art, a round table with cute chairs, and a light fixture.
19:17But this room will be beautiful.
19:19There's a reason art galleries paint all of their walls white.
19:22It's a great background.
19:23It's a great background for everything else.
19:26So that's what we need to bring into the space.
19:28Everything else.
19:29All the things.
19:30There's something we need to discuss.
19:32Oh.
19:33In the kitchen.
19:34I think Grumpy and I are disagreeing on this like a lot.
19:37Yeah.
19:38Okay.
19:39So the big question here is the big debate, the hot topic.
19:43Does the island go horizontally or vertically?
19:46Grumpy says it stays.
19:49This way.
19:50Horizontally.
19:51You would like it to go vertically.
19:52Okay.
19:53Whoa.
19:54Just see.
19:55I just think it.
19:56I think it can fit this way.
19:57How are we even moving this way?
19:59I feel like the takeaway from today is that you are a beast.
20:04A very, very feminine pretty beast.
20:07You're a very beautiful feminine beast.
20:11Let's keep this straight.
20:12But let's be honest.
20:13You're strong.
20:14You're a strong lady.
20:15There's Viking blood in these veins.
20:16Is there really?
20:17I've lifted a lot of rugs in my day.
20:19Will there be any overhang here?
20:21No.
20:22None.
20:23None.
20:24This island feels smaller.
20:25Okay.
20:26So there's going to be 12 inches of overhang here.
20:28I mean, yeah.
20:29And then people need to sit here.
20:34Correct.
20:35So we can pick this little piece of sheet rock up, put it on top so that you can see what
20:39it will look like.
20:40Is that what you want?
20:41Yes.
20:42Okay.
20:43Okay.
20:4412 inches.
20:45Ish.
20:46Bring it out a little further.
20:47But I would like to let Grumpy know.
20:51There's plenty of room right here.
20:58I'm not fighting this battle for no reason, just to be right.
21:03I do truly feel like for the functionality of this kitchen, it's got to change.
21:09Let's go into the living room.
21:12This is such good light.
21:13Like it's beautiful.
21:14Right.
21:15Yeah.
21:16So I feel like we can do drapes that can just open the whole way.
21:19Something to think about though too, is they want to reuse their existing sectional.
21:25It was really big in the front room because it didn't really fit there.
21:28They brought it from a different home.
21:29Mm-hmm.
21:30They have given us the opportunity to reupholster it and get a new slip cover.
21:35Mm-hmm.
21:36I do believe one of the colors that are available for it are in this fabric as well.
21:41Perfect.
21:42We need to make sure that when we're mounting these drapery panels, that we go beyond the window.
21:48That way we have the ability to push the drapes back past the window.
21:52All the way.
21:53Yeah.
21:54So the light right there is going to let the room still have all that beautiful bright light.
21:58But we get the layers of the drapery.
21:59We get the layers of the drapery without losing a minute of the light.
22:03So I think we can bring in paint on the trim.
22:06The one we just used on the cabinet piece.
22:08That way it pulls in the green from the breakfast room into the living room.
22:12And then on the walls, a grass cloth.
22:15So it still feels light and airy.
22:17A neutral but fun rug.
22:19Giant drapes and a blue sectional.
22:22Yeah.
22:23Now this is going to be the most interesting room yet.
22:26We're going to move over to Baylor's room, who is a teenager.
22:29Oh, yes.
22:30There's a lot of rules.
22:31Designing for a teenager can be tricky.
22:35Because you want to give them something that they'll really love and that feels like them,
22:40but also something that will grow with them.
22:42So when we did the walkthrough, she said that she wanted it to feel very blue and white.
22:48You know, she didn't want to venture out too far beyond that.
22:51Okay.
22:52I don't think she really wants to do a lot of colors.
22:56So we need to really work within those confines, you know, to give her the space that feels like her.
23:02Light blue and white.
23:03I think this one is too green, too dark.
23:05And this is the one.
23:07So we're going to do this on the built-ins.
23:10We're going to give her a desk that can also be used as a vanity.
23:13The walls are going to be white.
23:15Mm-hmm.
23:16Her bed is going to be natural with white bedding, but we're going to bring in pops of color on the rug, on the pillows.
23:23Okay.
23:24Through the art.
23:25You feel like we have a good handle on this house as a whole.
23:27I'm excited.
23:40As our deadline is getting closer, lots of things have been happening at Carter House.
23:45The rooms are starting to be painted.
23:48The new shiplath and trim has been installed in the kitchen.
23:51I'd love to go check out the addition.
23:53I've got the grass cloth with us, and I want to see what it looks like in there.
23:57Me, too.
23:58I know.
23:59I think it's going to be a really big deal.
24:01This is fun.
24:03I know.
24:04I'm really excited about it.
24:05Look at our grass cloth.
24:06Look at it.
24:07This, like, beautiful textured grass cloth is going to really elevate the space in a way that I think Lauren's going to be really happy with.
24:16Me, too.
24:17This is the color of the trim, which is that molding.
24:19That molding.
24:20So we have three options here.
24:21We can go with a natural color that's just the wall, natural wall color.
24:25Yeah.
24:26We can go with a buttery yellow color that kind of complements everything, or we can match the wall color exactly.
24:33I know that originally we were just going to do white walls, green trim, but I feel like I want to bring another element into the room that makes this room feel a little richer.
24:44I know what I want out of these three.
24:46I know what I want, too.
24:48I want this one.
24:49Oh, me, too.
24:50Okay, good.
24:51I did not think we were agreeing on that.
24:53Really?
24:54I thought you were going yellow all day long.
24:55No.
24:56I want this one for sure.
24:57I think if we paint the trim a color with the grass cloth, it's going to, like, really take it up to that next level.
25:05Yeah.
25:06So it's sophisticated, but also fun.
25:07It's going to make it pop.
25:08I also found something else that I'm very happy about, and it kind of, like, I want to pat my shoulder.
25:14It's right over there in the kitchen.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Can you follow me?
25:17I feel like we might be hearing about that.
25:19So, uh, look at this baby that is easily navigated around.
25:28You got to make sure the next time my dad's here, you're here.
25:31I cannot wait to have him sit at this island and say, you are right.
25:37You want to rub his nose in it?
25:39I want, with, yes, with all of my heart, yes.
25:43Tell me this doesn't flow so much better.
25:46Yeah, it flows a lot better for this room.
25:48Translation, you can't wait for Grumpy to say you're right.
25:52I deserve a pat on the back because this is way better.
25:55I'll pat both sides.
25:56This is when things start to happen really, really quickly.
26:00Before we run out of time, though, we should probably invite Grumpy back.
26:04You want to rub his nose in it a little bit?
26:05I would like to rub his nose in it.
26:23There they are!
26:24There they are!
26:25Courtney and Angie are bringing their cute little van all the way from Alabama.
26:29I've been waiting for this for a long time.
26:31This is so fun.
26:33Hi!
26:34Hi!
26:35Welcome!
26:36How are you guys?
26:37This is so good!
26:39We are going to need a ton of rugs for this house,
26:42but we are going to specifically design one for Baylor's room.
26:45Okay, so this is how this works.
26:47Okay, Fanny.
26:48Everything here is available to customize in any shape, size, color, or dimension.
26:54Yeah!
26:55With the front door!
26:56So as you can see, each of these colors correspond with the way the wool is actually dyed.
27:02This is a very unique opportunity for us to go in there and design a rug and truly customize it to Baylor.
27:14One of the things that we really need this rug for is to pull in some color.
27:19Let's go ahead and pull some of these colors for you.
27:22We want to use a lot of blues and greens and pinks, but we want to be very cognizant that we're doing it in a way that doesn't feel like a baby.
27:33Not childish.
27:35We have to be very careful when we pick our exact tones.
27:39Yes.
27:40Even though it's a little bit more saturated, because it includes all of her colors that are her favorite,
27:47this is the one that she's going to really love the most.
27:49She's going to check the box.
27:50She's a teenager.
27:51It has to be able to grow with her.
27:54Yeah.
27:55An investment.
27:56And like any good rug is.
27:58Yeah.
27:59Thank you guys so much for driving all the way here.
28:01Oh my goodness.
28:02We're so glad to have you here.
28:04Well, on that note, I don't think you're going to get to go home.
28:08We're just going to take you back with us to Alabama.
28:10Oh my God.
28:11Okay, bye guys.
28:12Bye.
28:13Literally the only van I've ever wanted to be kidnapped in.
28:32Are you excited for today?
28:33Oh yeah.
28:34Rumps.
28:35I have a feeling you're going to be extra grumpy today.
28:37We now have less than a month before we need to hand this house over.
28:41The painters are working on the trim in the new living room.
28:44But more importantly, today we get to decide who was right about the kitchen island once and for all.
28:50Do you still think you're right walking into this house?
28:53We'll see.
28:54I know.
28:55I feel like skipping.
28:56We'll see.
28:57Well, yeah.
28:58A.
28:59Pretty island.
29:00It's no longer eight feet long.
29:01B. It's no longer four feet wide.
29:02It was never eight feet long.
29:03Oh yeah it was.
29:04They did not cut this island.
29:05They did not trim the island off at the end.
29:07It was eight feet long.
29:08Oh my goodness.
29:09And you're saying they made it less wide?
29:10It's a single depth cabinet.
29:11It's not true.
29:12It was originally a double depth cabinet.
29:13That's why it wouldn't work.
29:14What are you talking about?
29:15The island was four feet wide.
29:16You're saying they made it less wide?
29:17Yes.
29:18Like they cut it?
29:19Yeah.
29:20It's only one cabinet deep now.
29:21It's not a back-to-back cabinet anymore.
29:24That's why it works.
29:26Here's the truth of the matter.
29:27Lauren.
29:28A.
29:29A.
29:30A.
29:31A.
29:32A.
29:33A.
29:34A.
29:35A.
29:36A.
29:37A.
29:38A.
29:39A.
29:40A.
29:41A.
29:42A.
29:43A.
29:44A.
29:45A.
29:46A.
29:47A.
29:48A.
29:49A.
29:50A.
29:51A.
29:52A.
29:53A.
29:54A.
29:55A.
29:56A.
29:57A.
29:58A.
29:59A.
30:00A.
30:01A.
30:02A.
30:03A.
30:04A.
30:05A.
30:06A.
30:07A.
30:08A.
30:09Can you say it looks great just say Chelsea was right
30:18Thank goodness this island situation has been solved because there's still so much to do before we can get them back in the house
30:28Okay, kids we've got three weeks to get the Herdrichs in the house
30:38We've got custom cabinetry going in in Baylor's bedroom the kitchen and the study and that beautiful
30:45Moody wallpaper is going up in the dining room and the grass cloth is being hung in the living room
30:58We are down to the final hours and there is so
31:04Much to get done today the challenge this whole time has been that the
31:10Herdrich style is a lot more classic and subdued, but they hired us because they still
31:16Want it to feel colorful and fun
31:21Okay, let's get to hanging I'm guessing artwork is where I come in
31:25As in you don't want me to paint it. You want me to hang it. Yes
31:29Thank you for gracing us with your presence, but uh, it's art time
31:40Can you stand back and see it's too small I wasn't asking you well, I'm telling you it's too small
31:46It feels a little grumps like you don't actually want to hang the art. Oh, you're measuring measure once nail twice
31:55Oh
31:57All right, there you go. It's perfect now, but we got it hung eventually
32:02This countertop the butcher block that you got in here looks so
32:06Good, you know, we got these knobs that originally we were gonna paint but now I
32:12Kind of feel like don't paint them. I know I love that it like because it's basically the same
32:18Tone and I think that's really fun now that we have the butcher block and it looks so good
32:23I feel like this is a great opportunity to add some like real visual interest in a space where there isn't a ton of it
32:30Yeah, and it's not color competing with other color. It's like natural elements
32:36I mean, I really do love that idea and I mean there's no there's nothing wrong with pivoting last minute if it's better
32:41We have the rug down in Baylor's room. Yeah shells your styles and I think we're getting these people in this house tomorrow
32:49It feels really good. I know I'm excited
32:54That's awesome
32:56Okay, well big day. It's the big day. I feel like this house as it says now is gonna work really really really nicely for their family
33:12I'm pretty happy. We'll see. I think they're gonna love it. We did it. We built a whole half a house in four months
33:19I can't wait to see the smiles
33:31At the end of the day we want the homes to feel like the home owner
33:37We want it to feel like them, you know, cuz it's their house and this one feels like the heartaches
33:43I know you don't like surprises
33:45I know I hate surprises
33:47I like to be in control
33:49I picked up on that
33:51Yeah, as your hands are shaking
33:54So when first we met here and you handed over the keys to us, you know, we were charged with making the house bigger
34:00Yep, making it more livable. Yep creating a another bedroom and then kind of
34:06Reimagined the kitchen the living area and so forth. We've done all that and
34:10Hopefully we've done it to your what will be your satisfaction. So we really can't wait to see the time has come
34:21All right
34:26Oh my gosh
34:29It looks amazing
34:33That's incredible
34:35Look at the chandelier
34:37Yeah, you recognize that?
34:38Wow
34:39From the dining room
34:40You can find things that you don't even think that you like and then use them in a new way
34:46Incredible
34:47Small pictures too
34:48Yeah, there's some family photos
34:50Family photos
34:51Wow
34:52What an amazing job
34:53And the drapes, I'm so excited
34:55Do you love them?
34:56Oh my gosh, yes
34:57We spent the longest time with having like very basic blinds
35:01Oh my gosh
35:02This has been her biggest concern
35:03I was nervous for you to get in here and find out if you like them or not
35:06I mean this is incredible
35:08I think it looks great
35:10I love it
35:11I think
35:12Okay
35:13We got a little spot here now we can work if we need to
35:15Yeah
35:16It just sort of feels like a period piece to me
35:19It just has this all enveloping vibe to it when you walk into it
35:25God, this is gorgeous
35:28You like it?
35:29You like it?
35:30Yes, I'm so happy
35:31That's good
35:32Yay
35:33So happy
35:34Okay, should we look at more?
35:35Yeah
35:36Wow
35:38Oh my gosh
35:40Beautiful
35:42It's incredible
35:43It is
35:44Oh my gosh
35:45The wallpaper
35:46It's so beautiful
35:47Yeah, I did not think I would like any kind of wallpaper
35:50So
35:51Well, what do you think?
35:52It looks great
35:53It looks really good
35:54Thank you
35:55A round table was designed for this room
35:57It really feels like an intimate dining room that we'll use
36:01Yeah
36:02I love it
36:03I got the little bar over here that's even better
36:04Yeah
36:05There's your bar
36:06You know, a round table is the best for gathering people together
36:10Because you can all see each other
36:12Yes
36:13It's more intimate
36:14Frank Lloyd Wright loved octagons
36:15He felt like it was family that it put people together
36:18Yeah
36:19This room is like two-thirds of an octagon
36:21That's true
36:22There's no, there's no need for the shape of this room
36:24Yeah
36:25Yeah
36:26What do you think about the light fixture?
36:27I like that
36:28That's where the chandelier used to be
36:29That's where the chandelier used to be
36:30It really like really pops
36:31And it talks to the wallpaper
36:32It does talk to the wallpaper
36:33It all comes together
36:34It really like pulls in a little bit of red in the wallpaper
36:37Yep
36:38It's nice to be able to see through the chandelier
36:41Into all of this amazing wallpaper
36:43Yeah
36:44I really like the wallpaper
36:45It's so rich and deep
36:47You feel like you could fall into it
36:49It's like it tells a story
36:51I just think it's going to be such an intimate setting
36:54But it feels welcoming
36:55Yeah
36:56Y'all just did an incredible job
36:58Oh, yay
36:59I got goosebumps because I can tell you're really happy
37:01I love it
37:02You feel the same way?
37:04Absolutely
37:05Love it
37:06Okay, so we count this room as a winner?
37:09Yes
37:10Want to have a look at the next spot?
37:11Yeah, the most important spot
37:12There you go
37:13Part of the home
37:14That's right
37:15Y'all first
37:20Oh my gosh
37:21Wow
37:22I love this
37:23It's so cozy
37:28Ready for mahjong?
37:31I don't even know how to play mahjong
37:33I'm gonna be honest
37:34I would like to learn
37:35It's fun
37:36And I love y'all's fabric on the
37:37You like the fabric?
37:38I do
37:39It's really cute
37:40And now we've got all this extra storage over here
37:42So that's great
37:43Bringing in this piece here that almost feels like a furniture piece
37:47It's beautiful
37:48I love the pop of color
37:49It makes us all feel like one big kitchen now
37:52The bones of the kitchen are still here
37:54The island is totally different than it was
37:56Yeah
37:57It's just so nice that this feels like a joint area
38:01It just feels so natural over here
38:03Oh, it looks perfect
38:04There's such good flow
38:05Yeah
38:06I didn't think there was gonna be any way
38:07That we're gonna get the same amount of light
38:09By extending out the house at this point
38:12And it looks really good
38:13Yeah
38:14All of these spaces feel like
38:16Spaces that you would wanna just spend time in
38:18Yeah
38:19Like it's just more inviting space
38:22This space is incredible
38:24I just never imagined that both these rooms would come together
38:27In the way that they have
38:28And so I'm thoroughly impressed
38:31Good work
38:32We've got a couple of spaces yet to look at
38:36You ready to take a look at one of those two?
38:38And let's do it
38:39How about the living room?
38:40Let's go look at it
38:41Let's go look at the living room
38:42Let's do it
38:43Shall we?
38:44Yeah
38:45Go ahead
38:46Love it
38:47This is incredible
38:48Love it
38:49This used to be the yard
38:50It used to be the yard
38:51Not that long ago
38:52Oh my gosh
38:53It's so beautiful
38:54What a transformation
38:55Here's your new backyard
38:56It's incredible
38:57Looks a lot better
38:58It does
38:59And you get to walk straight through to the back now
39:01Not only is it open within the house but also you can open the doors right at the end of it
39:08And it's completely open to the backyard
39:10Easy access
39:11It's a lot to take in
39:12I know
39:13It's a new space
39:14I know
39:15It's overwhelming
39:16It's not like something where you're used to
39:17Definitely very cozy with the couch
39:18And this was the previous couch before
39:20New same sofa, new slipcover
39:22Wow
39:23It's completely different
39:24I like the boldness of the curtains
39:27I was happy with the way that they turned out
39:29They tie in really nicely with the sofa
39:31Yeah
39:32How do you like the grass cloth wallpaper?
39:33I love it
39:34I love that it has some texture to the walls
