00:00:00Previously on Rock the Block, for the first time ever, HGTV pros are teaming up with celebrity partners.
00:00:07Welcome to our world.
00:00:08Four teams were given $275,000 and seven weeks to add the most value to four identical homes.
00:00:16I just want to kick all your asses.
00:00:19It was clear from the start these teams have something to prove.
00:00:22I think they're underestimating us a little bit.
00:00:24Good. I like to surprise our neighbors.
00:00:26Lisa Vanderpump and Nick Elaine came to judge the main suite.
00:00:30Oh, wow.
00:00:32But it was the storefront closet that proved hard to beat.
00:00:36This is Vegas, baby.
00:00:38The gospel changes everything.
00:00:41Scott and Brooke!
00:00:44It's annoying that Scott won. Scott is just so smug.
00:00:47If our competition isn't scared yet, they're about to be.
00:00:51That gives Brooke and Scott the first win with six weeks left in the competition.
00:00:55This time, the team starts their great room, foyer and den.
00:01:02This is going to beat what anybody else is doing.
00:01:06Woo-wee! This feels good.
00:01:08What do you mean there's no fireplace?
00:01:10It's not here. We're not going to get it done.
00:01:12Two-time champion Michelle Smith-Boyd returns to judge.
00:01:15Holy crap!
00:01:17Oh, no way!
00:01:19Every single element in this room feels amazing.
00:01:21Who the hell is that?
00:01:32Good morning, designer!
00:01:35What's up, buddy?
00:01:36It's great to see everyone still looking fresh.
00:01:39After our first week here on the block, how are we feeling?
00:01:45Well, let's start off by offering a huge congratulations to last week's win of the main suite to Scott and
00:01:52Brooke!
00:01:53Not bad, not bad.
00:01:55Nice, guys.
00:01:56Don't get used to it.
00:01:57We're on a winning streak.
00:01:59This should make you scared.
00:02:00We came out of the gate with a win.
00:02:02Mm-hmm.
00:02:03I think we're going to rack up a bunch of wins along the way.
00:02:05If our competition isn't scared yet, they're about to be.
00:02:10You decided to take the $3,000 to apply toward your design this week, as opposed to taking $1,000
00:02:18on your final appraisal.
00:02:20You still feeling pretty good about that?
00:02:22We're here in Vegas, so we're going to let it ride.
00:02:25And we can turn $3,000 into $6,000.
00:02:28Love it.
00:02:28Now, let's get to what's in store for week two.
00:02:32This next zone is a vital one.
00:02:35It's the first thing you see when you walk in the front door.
00:02:39This week's faces are the foyer, great room, and den.
00:02:44That's a lot of square footage to talk about.
00:02:46That's not what I thought it was going to be.
00:02:48That's a big one.
00:02:49The winning team will have the option to take $3,000 and put it toward next week's design,
00:02:55or add $1,000 to their final appraisal.
00:02:59Furniture and decor will, of course, be provided by our friends at Wayfair.
00:03:03All right.
00:03:05And remember, you guys have seven days to complete your spaces,
00:03:08at the end of which a new judge will come to the block to tour your homes.
00:03:14Well, go get them!
00:03:16And good luck!
00:03:20Come and get a little taste.
00:03:22Get a little hustle.
00:03:23The way we win is different than ain't normal.
00:03:25Long time drip.
00:03:26We've been swimming, no sparkle.
00:03:27Flavor from the wrist and the brain with the dolphins.
00:03:29Come and get a little taste.
00:03:31All right.
00:03:32Well, we made it through week one.
00:03:33It was tougher than I thought it was going to be.
00:03:35I'm not going to lie.
00:03:36But we did it.
00:03:37And I'm happy with how our product turned out.
00:03:39I'm very happy with that.
00:03:41We took some big swings with the primary suite.
00:03:43And I'm not mad at it.
00:03:45You can't go back and change the hands of time.
00:03:47So we just got to continue to keep moving forward.
00:03:49Take the notes that we've gotten and just stick with the plan.
00:03:54Playing the long game.
00:03:56This is a lot of space.
00:03:57I don't have this kind of space in my house.
00:03:59Not like this.
00:04:00No, I definitely don't.
00:04:01I feel like I need more light.
00:04:03I agree.
00:04:03Like just hitting my face.
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:04Don't you feel like this wall we should see outdoors?
00:04:07100%.
00:04:07100%.
00:04:08I think we're going to want to drop some money there and open that up at least a little
00:04:13bit more.
00:04:14Here.
00:04:15Let's mark it.
00:04:15Let's mark it up.
00:04:16So I'm thinking like here.
00:04:20Oh, let me.
00:04:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:04:22Let me do that.
00:04:23Over there.
00:04:25Here.
00:04:26There, there.
00:04:27Go all the way across.
00:04:33Yeah, I mean a little taller than that, but you get, we get the gist of it.
00:04:38Yeah.
00:04:38What I want is those like giant stacking sliders, but like big.
00:04:43Like a fireplace here with a couple like arched built-ins on the side.
00:04:49Okay.
00:04:50And then dining room could go here.
00:04:56Ooh.
00:04:59Would you like some great bourbon?
00:05:02You know what?
00:05:03Yeah.
00:05:03Table here.
00:05:04I mean easy access if we're going outside.
00:05:07Like we're going to get a bunch of great light and visual space over here.
00:05:11Okay.
00:05:11I want to do the same thing like great light, visual space over here.
00:05:14I agree.
00:05:14I would like something that's more full light glass.
00:05:19Yeah.
00:05:19Table, little drop zone area.
00:05:22I think we're good.
00:05:24All right.
00:05:24Let's go over here then.
00:05:26It is not my inclination to close off spaces, but what if we do it in a way that still
00:05:32flows
00:05:32with the rest of it?
00:05:33So don't like wall it off, but maybe we do something like a glass wall, close off this section,
00:05:39drywall that in.
00:05:40We could get a small closet in this corner.
00:05:46So egress window, closet equals bedroom.
00:05:50You will never use it as a bedroom.
00:05:52But on the appraisal, this is technically another bedroom.
00:05:55So whichever way you cut that, it's value.
00:05:59Ah, there we go.
00:06:01We got it.
00:06:02You got it.
00:06:03This house on paper is a three bedroom, which is crazy for how many square feet it is.
00:06:09Why not put a small closet in any of the spaces and be able to call them a bedroom?
00:06:15Because it's a very affordable way to increase your appraised value a good chunk.
00:06:20I mean, this is comfortable.
00:06:22Elegance.
00:06:22It is.
00:06:23I feel like the coziness kind of creates that comfy vibe we want, but we're going to have
00:06:27enough wow that it's going to be elegant.
00:06:29I think we're 35,000, 40.
00:06:32It's not too bad.
00:06:34Let's get to work.
00:06:38It feels almost a little cavernous to me.
00:06:41Like I imagine being cozied up in that livable sense.
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:46I want a place that is just kind of like the heart of the home.
00:06:51Yeah.
00:06:51You know?
00:06:51Week two is the redemption week.
00:06:53This is where the phoenix rises from the ashes.
00:06:56This is where we're able to show our true metal, our true power.
00:07:02And we're able to come out and ready to just blow the doors off this place.
00:07:06What do you think about maybe opening this up?
00:07:09Because we have a view.
00:07:11And I feel like we're one of the only houses that do not have houses behind us.
00:07:16So 20 foot slider.
00:07:17Now the wall over here.
00:07:19Vegas fireplace.
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21Some shelving.
00:07:22Maybe look into doing a reverse tray ceiling.
00:07:25Put some cool lighting around it.
00:07:27Okay.
00:07:29I don't love that there's not a foyer.
00:07:31To me it seems awkward to just walk in.
00:07:34And like to me I feel like if we could get a foyer bumped out here.
00:07:38Build out a little wall.
00:07:39Maybe we just have like a nicely staged little table right here.
00:07:43Yeah.
00:07:43Which then will create a space over here.
00:07:46I really would love to do something bars-y.
00:07:50My only concern with that is that I don't know if everybody is going to-
00:07:54Always want to look at that?
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:58What do you think about a speakeasy?
00:08:01I need more.
00:08:02Okay.
00:08:02I like it.
00:08:03So maybe we have like a glass enclosure.
00:08:06You're looking at the wine.
00:08:08You're pulling your wine and oh my god what is that?
00:08:11Like a secret door.
00:08:13So this is Vegas.
00:08:15This is where we bring in our Vegas.
00:08:17This is Vegas baby.
00:08:18Right here.
00:08:20Disco balls.
00:08:21A bar.
00:08:23Okay.
00:08:23Yeah we're going big.
00:08:29This house is going to be worth well over two million dollars when we're done.
00:08:33Which means someone buying in this area is going to want something really special.
00:08:38A speakeasy is a cool and unique way to kind of reimagine a typical entertaining space.
00:08:42So we'll have our livable and we'll have our love.
00:08:45Yes.
00:08:46Million dollar question.
00:08:47Yeah.
00:08:47We're probably looking around 60 grand.
00:08:50Oh.
00:08:50Breathe.
00:08:51Breathe.
00:08:53I am the most excited about designing this speakeasy with you.
00:08:58It's what I do with my business.
00:09:01I do restaurants.
00:09:01I do bars.
00:09:02So it's personal on that level.
00:09:04I want this win so badly.
00:09:07My heart's racing just thinking about it.
00:09:09We put a lot of sweat equity into the primary suite.
00:09:13We're going to have to do the same thing here.
00:09:15We're going to have to start stretching.
00:09:17Yes.
00:09:17Set the stage.
00:09:19The battle starts now.
00:09:20Looking forward to number one.
00:09:22Hell yeah.
00:09:23I was made to be on top.
00:09:25You understand?
00:09:26It's the winner sees desire.
00:09:27What's more on the win?
00:09:31Oh no.
00:09:37This is the opposite of smoky sexy right now.
00:09:40I mean, this is stark and very white and very clean.
00:09:43Not cozy at all.
00:09:44I like open and airy, but this just feels so open.
00:09:47Create a space for each thing.
00:09:49Yeah.
00:09:50Agreed.
00:09:50I think I was surprised that Scott and Brooke won,
00:09:53just because I think they were a big mystery for me.
00:09:55Like, what are they going to do?
00:09:57If Scott and Brooke win a good, we're going to be like,
00:09:59wow, something really fantastic is going on over there.
00:10:02I'd probably pack up my stuff and go home.
00:10:05Don't say that.
00:10:05I'd call it a day.
00:10:06You would not.
00:10:08That's a lie.
00:10:08I think it's, for me, a given that we have to do another fireplace.
00:10:13This is the great room.
00:10:14It's the big family room.
00:10:16And we've already done the two fireplaces in the main suite.
00:10:19And so I think we just have to do a really big fireplace.
00:10:23Yeah.
00:10:23What if we ran the hearth the whole way?
00:10:25And just maybe tile it?
00:10:27Yeah.
00:10:27So the biggest sliding glass doors we can possibly fit.
00:10:30I think so.
00:10:31I like that.
00:10:33All right.
00:10:34So in this foyer, definitely a new front door.
00:10:38And this has to be so cool because this really is the first moment you step into the home.
00:10:44Right.
00:10:44It's kind of going to set the tone for what we're going to do everywhere else.
00:10:47So maybe we do like a really beautiful wood paneling on the walls, have a killer light, do a great
00:10:53little console table with the door being glass.
00:10:57Yeah.
00:10:58What are we going to do with this odd deck?
00:11:01Make it a separate room.
00:11:03Let's talk about what we don't have that we know we want and we need in the house that we
00:11:07have not checked the box.
00:11:09Somewhere to put a bar.
00:11:10Yeah, because we don't have a bar yet.
00:11:11No.
00:11:12And we need a bar.
00:11:13Have to.
00:11:13Or in Vegas.
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:15We could do maybe like a little poker situation here.
00:11:18So, poker table.
00:11:20If the bar's on that corner, the wall's going to come out to here.
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25Open this up, I would think, to the entry.
00:11:27Do you think wallpaper in here and like making this dark?
00:11:31I do too.
00:11:33I would love for that room to be very moody, a little masculine.
00:11:38And I do feel like our homes in real life do lean a little masculine, so that's just what we
00:11:44like.
00:11:44This is a great opportunity to go smoky and sexy at the same time.
00:11:49What do you think we can do all this for?
00:11:51We ended up spending $70,000 last week, so we need to keep it low.
00:11:55$25,000.
00:11:56Wow.
00:11:57That is ambitious.
00:11:58Yeah, I'm with you, but we're on a tight budget.
00:12:00Okay.
00:12:01Can we make it work for that?
00:12:03I think we have to.
00:12:08You know what?
00:12:08It looks different in here now that I walked back in.
00:12:11Yeah?
00:12:12How?
00:12:13I think it's because it's a winning house.
00:12:15Oh, yeah.
00:12:16Yeah.
00:12:16Our confidence levels are on the rise.
00:12:18Yeah.
00:12:18Because we now have proof of concept that our strategy, it's working.
00:12:23Brooke and I are not here to play games.
00:12:24We're here to win.
00:12:25Let's talk about this front entrance first.
00:12:28Okay.
00:12:28It does feel a little exposed.
00:12:31It would be nice to have a little separation.
00:12:33Right.
00:12:34I feel like I want to balance the room out with a wall here.
00:12:37I want to put a big cardenza there with, like, somewhere to drop your keys and a big mirror.
00:12:41Right.
00:12:42I'd like to have a bench or something.
00:12:43Something to drop your shoes and do something.
00:12:46Let's walk over here.
00:12:47So we've got our front entrance.
00:12:50This is the den.
00:12:51You know what I think?
00:12:52If our competition uses this as a den, that's super boring.
00:12:55We need to elevate it.
00:12:57Do you host?
00:12:58Are you a host?
00:12:58Oh, yeah.
00:12:59Christmas parties, Thanksgiving.
00:13:00Yeah.
00:13:01Stuff like that.
00:13:02My home is a bit bigger and open and we've designed it for entertaining.
00:13:06Yeah.
00:13:06That's the gathering place.
00:13:08And I feel like Vegas is the perfect spot for gathering places.
00:13:11Yeah.
00:13:11This could be our dining area.
00:13:13May I ask for...
00:13:15You like to get archy with it?
00:13:17I'm getting archy, baby.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:19Let's draw that out.
00:13:20Gotta arch it.
00:13:20You know me with my tape.
00:13:22Here.
00:13:23Okay.
00:13:24Let's do this.
00:13:25We do an arch on the ceiling.
00:13:28Big, huge, long dining table.
00:13:31Now you have a formal dining room.
00:13:33Yes.
00:13:34This drives me crazy because it is not like the others.
00:13:38Is that for a reason?
00:13:39Uh, well, let's find out, you know?
00:13:41Are you going up into the ceiling?
00:13:44If we're going to make a plan...
00:13:46I'm terrified of attics.
00:13:48Let's make sure it's going to work.
00:13:50Make sure it's not haunted up there.
00:13:51It's not haunted.
00:13:52It's a new home.
00:13:55Ooh.
00:13:57Good looking attic.
00:13:59Oh, wow.
00:14:01And just like that, he disappears into the wall.
00:14:04What do you see?
00:14:06It's trusses.
00:14:08It looks like they run the full span.
00:14:11So that wall is right here.
00:14:13Are you coming down head first?
00:14:15You want to know something?
00:14:17What?
00:14:17Not a load bearing wall.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:19These are all decorative.
00:14:21Can we like close it in so that it feels like a cozy dining room?
00:14:25Oh, what if we do a wine wall?
00:14:28With the extra $3,000 we have from last week's win, I feel like we can splurge and get something
00:14:35really premium to give us that restaurant vibe.
00:14:37And now we need to deal with this.
00:14:40Could we do like big sliders here or something?
00:14:43I think we have to.
00:14:45You got the nice high ceilings.
00:14:46I'm a huge fan of beams.
00:14:48I think we run them this way.
00:14:49I mean, I would naturally say fireplace.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:52What if we did arched bookshelves?
00:14:54Double arch.
00:14:55Next to the fireplace.
00:14:57We're building some arches.
00:14:58We're building some walls.
00:15:00We're doing some customs.
00:15:01We're in the $30,000 to $40,000 range here.
00:15:04We went hard in the primary bedroom.
00:15:06We spent a boatload of money.
00:15:08Yeah.
00:15:08So this is going to be a save for us.
00:15:10Okay.
00:15:11You ready to get dirty?
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12Let's do it.
00:15:22Oh my god!
00:15:24Woo!
00:15:25Woo!
00:15:38So freaking excited.
00:15:40I feel like this is all looking so good, but I still want to do something on the ceiling.
00:15:45We're spending a lot of our budget on the fireplace and the big sliding doors, but I think we can
00:15:50find an affordable solution to bring some design flair to the great room.
00:15:55So, I mean we could do like a pattern flooring or wood on the ceiling or something, but I think
00:16:00that's going to be too much.
00:16:02I'm thinking beams, but not dark wood.
00:16:05I'm thinking we just painted the color of the ceiling.
00:16:07So it's all the same color, but you're getting that texture of beams.
00:16:11Nice.
00:16:12I actually have beams in my house and I think it adds to the overall aesthetics of the house.
00:16:16It gives you a cozy vibe and that's what we're looking for.
00:16:19We're looking for that comfortable elegance.
00:16:21In design, you don't have to take wild swings with elements to make the room feel special.
00:16:25Simply adding beams to a flat ceiling gives the room dimension and it makes it feel more
00:16:31custom and creative.
00:16:32So we can do this ourselves as, you know, it'll fit in the budget.
00:16:36Yes.
00:16:36Very doable.
00:16:38Well, let's do it.
00:16:43I'm really glad that we opened up the back wall here.
00:16:46I mean, this is like night and day difference.
00:16:48Game changer.
00:16:49And you can get a pump on while you're working.
00:16:53Look at you.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:55You work out?
00:16:56Sometimes.
00:16:57Not since I had twins.
00:16:59Do you think people are going to underestimate you because of who you are coming into this
00:17:03competition?
00:17:04I think people only know me one way, but you know.
00:17:07Oh my God.
00:17:08I mean, there's a brain up here.
00:17:11Let's talk plan.
00:17:12Okay.
00:17:12Front entrance.
00:17:14We're going to find it here.
00:17:16We're going to do our partial wall.
00:17:20You like that sound?
00:17:22People see me as a Nepo baby and they haven't known that I work really hard and I built my
00:17:27own business with no help from anybody.
00:17:29And it was really, really, really rough in the beginning, but now it's successful.
00:17:32And it's not just like for the last two months.
00:17:34It's been for eight years.
00:17:38Nice.
00:17:39Wow.
00:17:41I'm pumped.
00:17:42Yay.
00:17:42I got a superstar partner here.
00:17:46Just knowing you for the short period of time that I have, I've learned a lot.
00:17:50It's like you have this crazy drive where you're like, I am going to do this.
00:17:53I'm going to do this on my own.
00:17:55You're so nice.
00:17:55I'm going to prove myself.
00:17:56Oh my God.
00:17:56Because I didn't come here to lose.
00:17:58Oh no.
00:17:58The energy is definitely winning energy.
00:18:00Like I come in here like already expecting it.
00:18:03We have to think that way.
00:18:05It's the only room for perfection around here.
00:18:09They call me Mr. Vegas.
00:18:11They call me Mr. Vegas.
00:18:15Guess what just came in?
00:18:18Just our surround?
00:18:19Mm-hmm.
00:18:20Ah, the moment of truth.
00:18:21Well, you know, we're going for the luxe.
00:18:23This is like Christmas morning.
00:18:24I know.
00:18:24Oh, see, that's what I just brought down the chimney.
00:18:27One, two, three.
00:18:30Oh, nice.
00:18:32Yeah.
00:18:32It's not as metallic as I thought it was going to be.
00:18:35I thought it was going to be a little brassier.
00:18:37This feels a little more bronzy.
00:18:39I'm not 100% sold on this color.
00:18:41It's supposed to be wow.
00:18:42And right now it's wow.
00:18:44Wow.
00:18:45I agree with you.
00:18:46I think it's a little dull, but we might as well test it out.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49I love the weight of it.
00:18:50It feels good to the touch.
00:18:52Yes.
00:18:52And it's brass.
00:18:53It's heavy.
00:18:54I think that is a good piece.
00:18:56It was a bit of a splurge item.
00:18:59The mantle was around three grand.
00:19:01What?
00:19:03Sheesh.
00:19:04We don't have the luxury of time here.
00:19:07So ordering a new one or returning it is just not an option.
00:19:10But we can get some paint.
00:19:11We'll bring it to life.
00:19:13Everything's going to be good.
00:19:14We'll fix your $3,000 purchase with $30 worth of paint.
00:19:19We have fire.
00:19:20We have stone.
00:19:22We have metal brass.
00:19:23And then we'll have some kind of a finish that looks like concrete.
00:19:26Like those elements together are going to be fire.
00:19:33This is going to be sick.
00:19:35I think this is going to be such a statement moment when we get this done.
00:19:39And we'll just do the tile literally.
00:19:41Wall to wall.
00:19:42Wall to wall.
00:19:43No cuts.
00:19:44We'll space the grout.
00:19:44So it's going to run this entire lower portion.
00:19:47We'll have this grid.
00:19:48And the grout is going to match the tile, which I love.
00:19:51Monochromatic grout.
00:19:52It's so pretty.
00:19:53I do think that tiling the fireplace from wall to wall is making a huge statement in that room.
00:20:01Here.
00:20:02Okay.
00:20:04Mm-hmm.
00:20:05I don't think anyone else is going to do this.
00:20:07I feel like it's not a way that people typically think to build out the fireplace wall.
00:20:12People think of bookcases.
00:20:13People think of the fireplace kind of being centered and what are we going to put around
00:20:16it.
00:20:16So to take that whole super long wall and make it the fireplace.
00:20:21It's very 70s.
00:20:23It's cool.
00:20:23Honestly.
00:20:24The color to me reminds me of Nevada.
00:20:27It's like the red canyons.
00:20:28Kind of cognac-y.
00:20:30Feels like whiskey.
00:20:31It's going to be freaking awesome.
00:20:33You said you picked an energetic color.
00:20:37What?
00:20:39This is bad.
00:20:41I know we're running short on time, but this is really driving me nuts.
00:20:45If I lose this challenge, I'm going to lose a piece of my soul.
00:20:59Brooke is going to lose it when she sees this.
00:21:03It's going to be impossible not to be blown away with our restaurant vibe.
00:21:10Our modern has-
00:21:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:21:16The wine rack is one of the first unique features that people will see when they experience our
00:21:23home.
00:21:24And to execute with excellence, you've got to follow the three critical steps, which are-
00:21:29Drink wine?
00:21:30No.
00:21:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:21:32Take it easy.
00:21:33Step number one.
00:21:34Plan.
00:21:35Here we go.
00:21:36The centerpiece for the win.
00:21:39Step number two.
00:21:40Open the wine.
00:21:41Practice.
00:21:42Bring it down.
00:21:42Bring it down.
00:21:43Bring it down.
00:21:44Bring it down.
00:21:44Step number three.
00:21:45Drink it.
00:21:46No.
00:21:47Execute.
00:21:47Execute.
00:21:47Execute.
00:21:48It's like this.
00:21:48The judges walk in, they're like, whoa!
00:21:51Whoa!
00:21:51Can you believe this?
00:21:53Am I in a restaurant?
00:21:55I mean, I feel like I'm at a steakhouse right now.
00:21:57Yes!
00:21:58Yes!
00:21:58It's a hell of a rack.
00:21:59It's a nice rack.
00:22:00I'm feeling so good, I can't even take it.
00:22:04The dance bomb is popping, we are rushing.
00:22:07Oh!
00:22:08The door!
00:22:10Excuse me, ladies.
00:22:12Fuck, I don't want you getting your grubby little paws on my door.
00:22:15Whoa!
00:22:16Whoa!
00:22:17Whoa!
00:22:18We didn't order anything, so I'm just going out to see who did.
00:22:22Yeah, just do a little recon.
00:22:24You know what?
00:22:24We're here to help.
00:22:26If you need help unloading, I can grab and unpack them and take a quick sneak peek at what you
00:22:30got.
00:22:31Oh, no.
00:22:31We don't need you to take a sneak peek of anything.
00:22:33What's this?
00:22:33What do you have in a crate?
00:22:35Oh, I see.
00:22:37Anything competitive with what we have?
00:22:39No.
00:22:40They definitely are all glass, though, because I can, like, stick my whole foot through it.
00:22:44Why would you have all glass doors?
00:22:46Oh!
00:22:47Yeah!
00:22:48Scare it!
00:22:48Oh!
00:22:49I'll cut you.
00:22:51Okay, we invested our money elsewhere.
00:22:53You guys might be fancy with all your doors, showing them off, honking your horn out in front of our
00:22:58place.
00:22:58You and your door don't scare me.
00:23:01Mina, let these guys stay out here and do what they want to do.
00:23:03We got to go back to work.
00:23:05Okay.
00:23:05Scott, we have work to do.
00:23:06Try to scare us.
00:23:07This was very adorable.
00:23:08Come on, Scotty.
00:23:09I appreciate you guys making us feel better about our choices.
00:23:12Yeah.
00:23:12Brooke and Scott and Tanya and Drew didn't have doors.
00:23:15So where did they get their doors?
00:23:16What doors do they have?
00:23:18Are they keeping their builder-grade doors?
00:23:21Oh, my.
00:23:22Vernon, can you unload the rest of the truck?
00:23:25Yeah.
00:23:25We did our part.
00:23:26Woo!
00:23:27Here we go!
00:23:28It's the most action I've had in a while.
00:23:30Wow.
00:23:35Let's go!
00:23:36The great room is coming along.
00:23:38So right now we have the flooring going in.
00:23:40Mm-hmm.
00:23:40We spray painted the mantle to make that brass pop.
00:23:44And then we also have the micro-cement on the fireplace.
00:23:46So it's looking good.
00:23:48And all these elements, they add a ton of value because these are all upgrades that whoever buys the home,
00:23:53they're not going to have to do themselves because we already did it.
00:23:56The dark moodiness here.
00:23:58Yeah.
00:23:59It's really going to bring some continuity between, like, the foyer into here and then the speakeasy.
00:24:05Wow.
00:24:05So they're all going to work kind of in concert together.
00:24:07It's sort of the prequel to the speakeasy.
00:24:10Like, people are going to be like, wow, that's so cool.
00:24:12Oh, my gosh.
00:24:13They never would have thought of that.
00:24:14And then, boom, they walk into the speakeasy.
00:24:17An amuse-bouche.
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:19An amuse-bouche.
00:24:21An amuse-bouche.
00:24:21Right?
00:24:21That's what that is?
00:24:22Only supersized amuse-bouche.
00:24:24You know, faux finishing is super expensive.
00:24:27So if we hired someone to do this, it would probably cost more than if we tiled it ourselves, you
00:24:31know?
00:24:32The fact we're doing it ourselves and you're doing that, we are putting money in the bank.
00:24:36Yeah.
00:24:36I feel like I'm at my shrink right now and I need to figure out what this symbolizes to me.
00:24:51Okay.
00:24:52So this guy will be our bottom.
00:24:56We're doing our ceiling beams in a very cost-effective way.
00:24:59We'll put a piece of wood on the ceiling and then we're going to prefab the other three
00:25:03sides that we pretty much just create like a U. Think like a horseshoe but squared off.
00:25:08Right.
00:25:08And we put it onto what the beam existing on the ceiling and we just finish it nail it in.
00:25:13So it's all about that balance and kind of dispersing the budget.
00:25:17So you get as much bang for your buck and still get the drama that we want.
00:25:21So I know you grew up in D.C. like mostly with your grandma, but like what was your childhood
00:25:26house like?
00:25:27We can start from this end.
00:25:28That'll work.
00:25:29Well, you don't want to know about my childhood house.
00:25:31My grandmother raised me and my six siblings, so we destroyed that house.
00:25:35So when I was thinking about this house, I was thinking, wow, this house would be perfect for my grandmother.
00:25:40So now that I think back on why am I even doing this?
00:25:44Why did I create a design company?
00:25:45It's because as a child, I always wanted to fix my grandmother's house and which I ended up doing eventually.
00:25:50Now we just need to make a bunch more.
00:25:56How are you feeling about the living room?
00:25:58I'm feeling good.
00:25:59I mean, it just looks so much more custom with the arches and the beams.
00:26:04So is now a good time to give you bad news?
00:26:06What? Oh my gosh.
00:26:07What now?
00:26:09There's no fireplace.
00:26:10What do you mean there's no fireplace?
00:26:12Not here.
00:26:13I'm trying to track it today.
00:26:15I know we blew out this wall.
00:26:16We made a big deal, but we have no fireplace.
00:26:20So.
00:26:21Um, this is bad.
00:26:23Yeah.
00:26:24Well, it's going to go from bad to worse because based on how much time we have left,
00:26:29if the fireplace doesn't come tomorrow, we're not going to get it done.
00:26:34The fireplace isn't here, so I have a small workaround.
00:26:39Based on the specs, I think this is where the mantel top will be.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:45So we can take a gamble, move it up, close it up, and commit to a fireplace that we don't
00:26:49actually have yet, or we can go with the safe bet, rip everything out, close it off, have a blank
00:26:55wall, no fireplace, but we'll have time to dress it.
00:26:58That's brutal.
00:26:59I think we gamble, and then we just burn that bridge when we come to it.
00:27:04So let's do it.
00:27:05We're going to commit.
00:27:06All right, we're committing.
00:27:07We don't have a fireplace, but we're going to act like we've got one.
00:27:10We're definitely not going to wow the judges with an unfinished space, but a bench and some artwork is not
00:27:16going to cut it either.
00:27:17I think sticking with a fireplace is our best bet at winning.
00:27:20This modern hacienda has to have the elements, and fire is the element that we'll be missing.
00:27:26Well, I hope you're a magician in Vegas because we need to manifest a fireplace like yesterday.
00:27:31If it comes tomorrow, we're good.
00:27:34If it doesn't come tomorrow...
00:27:36We're not good.
00:27:37We're going to crap out.
00:27:41Crap out.
00:27:42Crap out.
00:27:43What does crapping out mean?
00:27:44That means you roll a seven.
00:27:46You never played craps?
00:27:47Oh, I thought you meant like going to the bathroom in your pants.
00:27:50Crapping out.
00:27:51We're going to crap out.
00:28:01Hello.
00:28:02Hi.
00:28:02Nice to meet you.
00:28:03Nice to meet you too.
00:28:04Nice to see you.
00:28:05We're looking at countertop samples for the bar area and the poker room and absolutely nothing we had on hand
00:28:10was even close to being good enough.
00:28:12So we are hitting up the slab yard to see if we can find the one.
00:28:16Nothing light, right?
00:28:17Oh, uh-uh.
00:28:17We know it's got to be dark.
00:28:19That green's pretty.
00:28:19I think it could be dark brown.
00:28:21I think it could have red undertones.
00:28:23I think it's crucial to see things, touch things, to see them in person.
00:28:28Yep.
00:28:28That's sick.
00:28:29Yeah.
00:28:30Oh my gosh.
00:28:30This looks like Himalayan salt.
00:28:32Sure does.
00:28:33There's so many materials coming together in this corner of the poker room.
00:28:36We've got the cabinet, the wallpaper, the paneling.
00:28:39And so this feels like an opportunity to find a slab that intentionally brings all of the colors into one
00:28:45place.
00:28:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:48No light color.
00:28:49Too busy.
00:28:50Oh, wow.
00:28:51That's really pretty.
00:28:53Maybe not the right tone of green.
00:28:56Does this have green in it?
00:28:57Are you seeing green here?
00:28:59Dang.
00:28:59That is gorgeous.
00:29:02Okay.
00:29:03Let's pull it out.
00:29:04I want to see it.
00:29:05Okay.
00:29:05Yeah, yeah.
00:29:06I don't think that there's any other piece of slab that could have checked all the box.
00:29:11And it's wild to me that Mother Earth can make something this stunning.
00:29:15She's a beaut.
00:29:16Wow.
00:29:17It's so good.
00:29:18Yeah.
00:29:18The poker room just upped its game.
00:29:20It's another one.
00:29:21And another one.
00:29:22It's another one.
00:29:23And another one.
00:29:23And another one.
00:29:24One.
00:29:25One.
00:29:25One.
00:29:25One.
00:29:26One.
00:29:26Two.
00:29:31Now.
00:29:32You this?
00:29:32Yeah, you got this big old thing.
00:29:34Oh, okay.
00:29:35Today Vernon and I are installing a Murphy door on the closet that we added to our den
00:29:42space.
00:29:42Oh, and it's heavy!
00:29:43I bet.
00:29:44Woo.
00:29:45It could be used as you would traditionally use a closet, or, it could be used, as we're
00:29:51using it for like the top shelf kind of stuff
00:29:54in our nice den like cocktail lounge space.
00:29:57We wanted the closet obviously for the appraiser.
00:30:00And I think this is kind of like the perfect solution
00:30:03to get what we want, appraiser closet,
00:30:05and pretty design that makes sense with the space.
00:30:08I think of it as going into my club.
00:30:11This is my club slash office.
00:30:14Have a nice glass of wine, open up the closet,
00:30:16grab a nice cigar, show off my Super Bowl ring.
00:30:19I mean, it's just so clutch.
00:30:21This is a big play right here.
00:30:23I think we're in.
00:30:24The money.
00:30:25Right?
00:30:26Mina, you gonna be able to get out?
00:30:27I'll be able to get out.
00:30:29Oh, wow.
00:30:30This is.
00:30:32We'll still have all that space in there.
00:30:34This is dope.
00:30:36I think about playing hide and seek with my kids.
00:30:38Oh, my God.
00:30:38It would be a sick hide and seek place.
00:30:40Come find me.
00:30:43Speaking.
00:30:44It's gonna be epic.
00:30:46It's gonna be epic.
00:30:49Well, today, speakeasy time, we are making it come to life.
00:30:53It's definitely a risk turning the den into something that is that specific.
00:30:56I think that this is a good risk to take because we're in Vegas.
00:31:00We're bringing the strip to the house.
00:31:02Drew, what do you think?
00:31:03I like it.
00:31:05It's nice, right?
00:31:06I think the Browns gonna do a really good job bringing out some of the other tones that are in
00:31:09the flooring,
00:31:10play off the wood and the bar.
00:31:12What's your level of experience with this wall covering because it's a big job in here.
00:31:18So of all the things that I feel comfortable doing in a house, wallpaper is not at the top of
00:31:22that place.
00:31:23Luckily, the wallpaper has a lot of forgiveness to it.
00:31:26We're going for the aged.
00:31:27Hopefully, you have a lot of forgiveness, too.
00:31:30Aged and imperfect like us.
00:31:33We're aged to perfection.
00:31:36This is gorgeous.
00:31:37It's like metallic and moody and rich.
00:31:41It's like every single thing I want for a speakeasy.
00:31:45Except for the easy part.
00:31:52Okay, here we go.
00:31:54Listen, you said you picked an energetic color.
00:31:56I did.
00:31:57It's supposed to be a really pretty terracotta kind of like orangey thing.
00:32:02Let's see.
00:32:06What?
00:32:10This room is going to be our formal dining room with some serious yam on the wall.
00:32:16Here we go.
00:32:17Once we start, the amount of work it would take to cover this again later is not in the schedule.
00:32:25So this is a commitment.
00:32:26Are you ready to make a commitment?
00:32:27I'm ready to commit.
00:32:29So in this beautiful, monochromatic, modern hacienda, we've decided to add a little punch of color, a little punch of
00:32:37orange, to our dining room.
00:32:39Because warm colors like this make people hungry.
00:32:42And we need a little bit of fun to wow the judges.
00:32:45I want you to hit the 2x4 at the top because that's going to get covered with our beam anyway.
00:32:51So we've got to close the gap.
00:32:53That's why you've got to pull.
00:32:54All the way.
00:32:55Hit it.
00:32:56Go.
00:32:56Higher.
00:32:57I need higher.
00:32:58Yes.
00:32:59Better.
00:33:00Much better.
00:33:01Okay.
00:33:01Maybe a little too much.
00:33:03There's no middle button with you.
00:33:05No.
00:33:06This is the challenge I'm having.
00:33:08There's only on and full blast.
00:33:09I can see where it's already starting to dry.
00:33:12It's getting pretty dark.
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:14Oh, yeah.
00:33:14I like it.
00:33:23Wallpaper going up.
00:33:25Pretty.
00:33:26Really pretty.
00:33:27I feel like this is going to be one of those rooms that's going to be a favorite room in
00:33:30the house.
00:33:30One of the design goals coming into the house was to have as little sheetrock visible as possible for us.
00:33:38And one of the tools in our tool belt was to use paneling as much as we possibly could.
00:33:44Okay.
00:33:45Are you excited?
00:33:46Um, yes.
00:33:48This wallpaper makes me excited.
00:33:50The paneling makes me excited.
00:33:51Yeah.
00:33:52So we're covering two thirds of the walls with sheets of oak veneer that we're going to stain this very
00:33:58dark, smoky wood tone.
00:34:00I think this has a huge impact with the amount that we're spending here.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:05I mean, this is like going to feel like a million bucks.
00:34:09I like that this is going to feel very masculine.
00:34:12When it comes to design, I actually prefer more of a masculine vibe.
00:34:18I don't like sweet pastel colors.
00:34:20I like dark.
00:34:21I like moody.
00:34:22It is like a balance.
00:34:24And I think that's where good design happens, where it's not like so overly fussy and feminine, but it's not
00:34:29so masculine that it feels cold and like it doesn't have a woman's touch.
00:34:33You know what I hate that we forgot to do?
00:34:37What?
00:34:38Before all the sheetrock went up was to write a little message on the studs.
00:34:44We can do it beneath the paneling.
00:34:46That's what I was going to say.
00:34:46Is this an opportunity to like sneak something in?
00:34:49Yes.
00:34:49Sure.
00:34:49Behind the paneling.
00:34:51I love that.
00:34:51We'll know that it's there.
00:34:53It's a hidden message.
00:34:54Okay.
00:34:54Message in a bottle.
00:34:55Alright, let's write something cute and sweet.
00:34:58A full house of friends and family beats a winning hand.
00:35:05I love that.
00:35:07That's awesome.
00:35:12I am very excited to see this put together.
00:35:17Today, our custom one-of-a-kind fireplace mantle just arrived.
00:35:23This is our baby Vernon.
00:35:24I don't even know this fireplace is our baby.
00:35:27I sent an inspiration picture to the company, went back and forth, like tweaked a couple things, approved the mold.
00:35:33It's a really, really cool process.
00:35:34I don't think anyone else is doing a, like, custom-designed, custom-molded, poured, one-of-a-kind fireplace in
00:35:41their great room.
00:35:45I love it.
00:35:46With the raised hearth at the bottom, it's going to fit the space perfectly.
00:35:50It feels like Mykonos.
00:35:51It feels like Mykonos?
00:35:53Good!
00:35:54It makes you just want to just like move your shoulders and just like, you just feel good all over
00:35:58your body when you see something like that.
00:35:59Maybe sit down, have a glass of wine.
00:36:02You know what you feel?
00:36:03Comfortably elegant.
00:36:06Of the space.
00:36:09The glass in this are our big budget, AKA big risk items.
00:36:14And I think they're both sick and going to pay off.
00:36:18With all this, we are, we're winning the week.
00:36:21Yes.
00:36:22No, say it with you.
00:36:23We are winning the week.
00:36:26We are winning the week.
00:36:52Speakeasy.
00:36:53I heard the lovely sound of the nail gun.
00:36:56The nail gun?
00:36:56What do you think?
00:36:57I think, like, I mean this in the nicest way possible.
00:37:01I don't see a thing.
00:37:03Putting the wall covering on the back here just gives it that luxe.
00:37:06It gives it that texture.
00:37:07Everything from the lights to the wall coverings, the flooring, everything just works in concert with each other beautifully.
00:37:15And then when we add the glass that wraps around to create the wine room.
00:37:18Yeah, all out here.
00:37:19Uh-huh.
00:37:20Yep.
00:37:20You know, we have the floor-to-ceiling wine racks.
00:37:22You know, so there'll be a wine rack right down here in the center.
00:37:25Uh-huh.
00:37:25Which will hold wine.
00:37:28But it'll also double.
00:37:29As.
00:37:30As a secret handle.
00:37:32Because for anybody that knows the secret knock.
00:37:37You pull that wine handle and.
00:37:40Yes.
00:37:42Yeah, baby.
00:37:43Look at this.
00:37:46You can't see anything, but then you pull that wine handle and.
00:37:51Yeah, baby.
00:37:53Look at this.
00:37:54Can you imagine?
00:37:55Oh, my God.
00:37:56There's no point in speaking unless you can speak easy.
00:37:59You could add a bar to a space.
00:38:01Sure, that'll add value.
00:38:02You can add a wine room to a space and that'll add value.
00:38:05I think the element of surprise, it gets your emotions going as a buyer walking through.
00:38:11Every house needs a signature moment.
00:38:13You know, when you're like, oh, remember the house with the, remember the house with the, this is the house
00:38:17with the speakeasy.
00:38:18Picture this.
00:38:19The lights are dim.
00:38:21The music's playing.
00:38:23Someone gets in this room and it's a wow moment.
00:38:26You've got a black disco ball.
00:38:28You've got the paneling off.
00:38:29And then we have the metallic wallpaper on the ceiling.
00:38:32If we lose this challenge, I'm going to lose a piece of my soul.
00:38:43Love our glass wall.
00:38:45We spent a lot of money in our great room, den and foyer.
00:38:48This was a splurge for us as far as this beautiful glass wall.
00:38:52Mmm.
00:38:52It's something about it.
00:38:53You don't typically see this in the home, but it feels like it was meant to be there.
00:38:57Usually I don't add walls.
00:38:59Obviously this one's a clear glass wall, but now we have, without making it feel smaller, this defined entry space,
00:39:06this defined like secondary room space.
00:39:09Like we'll probably dress it differently, but because it has the closet, it's now technically a bedroom on the appraisal.
00:39:16I think custom features like this glass wall is a must.
00:39:19Our neighborhood and surrounding homes are all custom.
00:39:22They're luxury.
00:39:23The comps are going for two and a half, three million dollars.
00:39:26So features like this are really an expectation for buyers in this price range.
00:39:31I mean, it came together so nice.
00:39:32I mean, the black trimming along the top and the bottom.
00:39:35Mm-hmm.
00:39:35The nice seams down the glass.
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:38It just feels good.
00:39:40Like I can just, I see myself now just sitting back here with my watch on.
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:45The nice glass of wine or something just chilling.
00:39:47Meet up.
00:39:47Come on in.
00:39:48Talk to me.
00:39:56Looky here.
00:39:57Looky here.
00:39:58Lights up.
00:39:59That looks, that looks good.
00:40:01Mm-hmm.
00:40:02It does look good.
00:40:03We're still missing countertop.
00:40:05Oh yeah.
00:40:05And shelving.
00:40:06Uh-huh.
00:40:07I'm sorry, but this paper is beautiful and I love the, the dark paneling with this paper and
00:40:13it's stunning.
00:40:14I am struggling with the transition to the paint just because my hope was that we would
00:40:19be able to paper the whole ceiling.
00:40:21I was going to bite my tongue because I know we're running short on time and I get so nervous
00:40:25to say something when it's like a last minute thing, but this is really driving me nuts.
00:40:31Mm-hmm.
00:40:31The color of the ceiling.
00:40:33It was the night before judging and all through the house everything was great except for the poker room
00:40:38because we hate the way the ceiling looks.
00:40:40We're not going to have time to get this paper.
00:40:42This feels like, oh man, they really missed an opportunity there.
00:40:46For sure.
00:40:47But there's, I just feel like it's too little too late.
00:40:50It's absolutely the 11th hour.
00:40:54Oh, this is going to drive me nuts.
00:40:57Let's list the problems.
00:40:58Number one, we don't have enough paper for the ceiling.
00:41:00Number two, we decided to paint it and color match the wallpaper and it doesn't match.
00:41:03Number three, there's paint on the wallpaper.
00:41:07Number four, we hate it.
00:41:08Number five, it's not going to work.
00:41:10Number six, we don't have any time.
00:41:13A lot of problems over here.
00:41:16Maybe we just can put a trim piece up that kind of softens where the paper and ceiling meet.
00:41:22And we hope we never think about it again.
00:41:24Yeah, I'm with you.
00:41:25Good? You sure?
00:41:26I think so.
00:41:30It is the day before judging and the fireplace has finally arrived.
00:41:35I couldn't be happier.
00:41:37Yeah, well, don't get too happy because we're not out of the woods yet.
00:41:39We have to get this fireplace installed.
00:41:42The Venetian plaster has to be done all around it and it has to dry to match everything else.
00:41:46And don't forget, we have to turn our attention across the way and deal with this dining room.
00:41:51It didn't exactly turn out the way we planned.
00:41:53It's a little lighter than, it feels, it feels childish.
00:41:57It was supposed to be terracotta.
00:41:59This is not terracotta.
00:42:00This is terrible.
00:42:01Do we have time to repaint?
00:42:05Will you stay late with me?
00:42:06Yeah, I mean, look, I'm going to go pick up the paint.
00:42:09We'll do one last blast and what we get is what we get.
00:42:13Okay.
00:42:13Color is everything to me as a designer.
00:42:16So if it means that we have to stay through the night to paint the den, so be it.
00:42:20Because this room looks like the outside of a diet pill bottle when I want it to look like the
00:42:25inside of a steakhouse.
00:42:26Yes.
00:42:27It's nice.
00:42:28I like it.
00:42:32Michelle Smith, boy.
00:42:34No way.
00:42:35This is the player move.
00:42:36This is good.
00:42:38Doesn't feel cohesive to me.
00:42:40It's specific as hell.
00:42:51Hey, man.
00:42:52Come on.
00:42:53Ready?
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:55Go, go, go.
00:42:56Here we go.
00:42:56Ready to throw some elbows.
00:42:59Woo!
00:42:59How are we late?
00:43:02Is that yours?
00:43:04I'll trade ya.
00:43:05These are ours.
00:43:05That's us.
00:43:06The adrenaline, when the rug pulls up, is unmatched.
00:43:10We feel good.
00:43:11Like, of course, we had to make a couple of little concessions, but across the board, we're super proud.
00:43:16Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold.
00:43:17Are you opening a nightclub, or-
00:43:19Maybe I am.
00:43:20We are in Vegas.
00:43:22The pressure is on now.
00:43:24All eyes are on us.
00:43:25We won last week.
00:43:26So now we've got even more competition, and that's making me nervous.
00:43:30Up, up, up, up, up, up, up.
00:43:31Oh, my God, my finger.
00:43:33That is pretty.
00:43:34Nice choice.
00:43:35Nice choice.
00:43:36Oh, thank you, guys.
00:43:37I feel confident going into the judging.
00:43:40I love our space.
00:43:41I think it's really beautiful, and I think we have spent our money wisely.
00:43:46Turn on the fire.
00:43:47Fireplace.
00:43:48There we go.
00:43:48We have six minutes left.
00:43:51Six.
00:43:51Today's a big day.
00:43:52We've invested a lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of money.
00:43:56I feel very good about it.
00:43:59I would not do one single thing different than what we've done in there.
00:44:02This is the winning house.
00:44:03It's getting there.
00:44:04Oh, my gosh.
00:44:06Rápido.
00:44:07Andale, andale.
00:44:09One minute and 45 seconds.
00:44:10One minute!
00:44:11Ah!
00:44:14Let's go.
00:44:17Fastlane.
00:44:19Living in the Fastlane.
00:44:21Fastlane.
00:44:23Living in the Fastlane.
00:44:23I think I'm about to make a living in the Fastlane.
00:44:25Shell, I get the door for you, sir.
00:44:27What's up, man?
00:44:28How are you?
00:44:30Michelle Smith, boy.
00:44:32How are you doing?
00:44:33I'm great.
00:44:34Come on in.
00:44:35Michelle is a rock-the-block veteran.
00:44:38And the only designer ever to win two final appraisals.
00:44:43I'll accept it, Michelle!
00:44:45So, it's week two, and our team's been busy designing the great room, the foyer, and the den.
00:44:50Okay.
00:44:51Just a reminder, this is a blind judging, so we can keep it fair.
00:44:54The judging criteria is overall design, added value, and creativity.
00:45:00Sound good?
00:45:01Sounds good.
00:45:01All right, let's do it.
00:45:05Holy crap.
00:45:18I feel like I've escaped in some sort of a zen space, right?
00:45:21It feels really open, it feels like an extension of the outside.
00:45:25Well, here, let's read what the team wanted to make sure you saw.
00:45:29Comfortable elegance.
00:45:30The last wall defined space while keeping it light.
00:45:33Turned a den into a bedroom by adding a closet.
00:45:36Beamed ceilings, and 20-foot, five-fold doors to showcase the scale and craft.
00:45:42Okay, that's a familiar trick.
00:45:44I know that one.
00:45:54With this glass here, I think they did just enough with the foyer.
00:45:58Play this down, let that be the star, and also the views outside these great doors.
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:04Okay, I have been fighting against having bookcases on either side of the fireplace because we've
00:46:08seen it so much, right?
00:46:10But these are really good.
00:46:11I've got to be honest.
00:46:12I love the arch.
00:46:13I love the height.
00:46:14Yeah.
00:46:14I think the tone on tone really works well here.
00:46:17But I do wish though, Ty, is that this fireplace surround was a little bit bigger, a little
00:46:22bit more chunky, a little bit more prominent.
00:46:24I think it would have added a lot more architectural value if it was a heavier fireplace.
00:46:29So a little bolder.
00:46:30Yeah, just a little bolder.
00:46:31Yeah.
00:46:32I love the walls.
00:46:33I love the ceiling.
00:46:35I kind of wish they would have contrasted the beams, but these are small critiques.
00:46:40Now, look at the glass walls in the interior.
00:46:45This is a player move.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:47This is good.
00:46:47This is really good.
00:46:58The fact that the glass goes from the floor all the way to the ceiling.
00:47:02Dude, man, let me tell you something.
00:47:03That is sexy.
00:47:05Everybody wants this.
00:47:06Yeah.
00:47:07Everybody wants this.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:08I mean, it's like you can shut the door, you can have a private conversation.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:13What's that door?
00:47:14Well, let's find out.
00:47:18Oh, so more wine storage maybe?
00:47:20There's more to this.
00:47:22Yeah.
00:47:23There it is.
00:47:27Oh!
00:47:29This is where the good stuff.
00:47:30The private stuff.
00:47:30Yeah, yeah.
00:47:31I love the door.
00:47:32I love that it fooled me.
00:47:34And I really love the idea of a secret.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:39So they added a closet.
00:47:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:41But it's a great use of space.
00:47:43This team is thinking about the end game.
00:47:44Right.
00:47:44They're thinking about that final judging, adding up that tally.
00:47:48Counting this as a bedroom is another way to sell a house.
00:47:51This feels like a big spin, but it was worth it.
00:47:55Shall we go check out the next house?
00:47:56Let's do it.
00:48:02Welcome.
00:48:02Awesome.
00:48:03Oh, wow.
00:48:09This feels like a foyer.
00:48:16This sense of entry is amazing.
00:48:19I'm feeling good about this house.
00:48:21Let's see what they say here.
00:48:22Okay.
00:48:22Smoky sexy.
00:48:24Refined bar countertops bring out our smoky sexy look.
00:48:28A tiled fireplace as architectural drama.
00:48:30Glass front door, wood trim.
00:48:33Fantastic.
00:48:34Great use of that oak.
00:48:36Mm-hmm.
00:48:36That's the kind of detail that separates good design from great design.
00:48:41Yeah.
00:48:41That's great.
00:48:42Okay, so I believe this is the dent.
00:48:51Dude.
00:48:52There's a lot of harmony between every single element in this room.
00:48:56Feels amazing.
00:48:57You know, I told you I love a tactile experience.
00:48:59Yeah.
00:48:59But I had to touch this grass cloth.
00:49:01All this play with the wood.
00:49:03I think this is a palette that would delight most people.
00:49:06Hey, paint's cheap.
00:49:07You can change the paint color.
00:49:08Right.
00:49:09You could have the same color on the ceiling that you have in a foyer
00:49:12if somebody didn't like it.
00:49:13But I, for one, love it.
00:49:15And that goes to the wooden trim accent in the ceiling, too.
00:49:18And then, of course, you can't be in Vegas without playing a hand of poker.
00:49:22I mean, come on.
00:49:23That's fantastic.
00:49:25This is right out of the best casitos.
00:49:27That is definitely a Vegas-style bar.
00:49:31Look at the thickness on that counter.
00:49:34This is nice.
00:49:35I think the only thing is specific as hell.
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:39Okay, it's super specific.
00:49:41Sometimes people shopping for houses need it to be pretty straightforward.
00:49:46But other than that, I feel great.
00:49:49All right, shall we continue the tour?
00:49:50There's more.
00:49:51Let's go.
00:49:51Yes.
00:49:59Oh, my God.
00:50:01The peacock is my favorite animal.
00:50:02Why is that?
00:50:04Well...
00:50:06My whole life, peacocking.
00:50:08I actually have one just like this in my bedroom.
00:50:11Really?
00:50:12Today.
00:50:12Wow.
00:50:13This is fantastic.
00:50:14They were really intentional about matching the grout to the tile and taking the tile to the floor.
00:50:19With this mantel from wall to wall, this is a plus for this house.
00:50:25I'm looking at this window.
00:50:26It's a big slider.
00:50:27Mm-hmm.
00:50:28I love that light flooding in here.
00:50:30And this house really needs it more than ever because of all the texture, of all the depth, all the
00:50:35dark.
00:50:35That light needs to highlight these details.
00:50:38So it was a good use of money.
00:50:40So they didn't opt for the beams in this house.
00:50:43They did not.
00:50:44I kind of missed the beams.
00:50:46It would help to bring that ceiling hot down just a little bit.
00:50:50It would be that much more cozy.
00:50:51That's what I would have done.
00:50:53This is getting tougher and tougher.
00:50:56Can it get any better?
00:50:57I keep saying that.
00:50:58I don't know.
00:50:58You keep impressing me.
00:50:59I think you might be surprised.
00:51:01Let's find out.
00:51:10Here we go.
00:51:12Whoa.
00:51:13Whoa.
00:51:22There's a real sense of entry here in this foyer.
00:51:25Kind of like that.
00:51:26That's cool.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:27Wait, what's the name of this house?
00:51:30Livable Luxe.
00:51:31A mixed material fireplace grounds the room with contrast.
00:51:35We try to find our speakeasy through our hidden door.
00:51:37Oh.
00:51:38Yes.
00:51:38A scavenger hunt.
00:51:39I'm here for it.
00:51:45The black is such a bold statement.
00:51:50From the plaster to the travertine to the metal look there.
00:51:55That is an incredible mix of materials.
00:51:58These great deep shells that are actually like niches to sit in.
00:52:02This kind of setup is usually where you retire to once a week on the Friday or Saturday night.
00:52:07Right.
00:52:07But it's their actual everyday living space.
00:52:11Yeah.
00:52:11It's about all vibes all the time.
00:52:13Another large sliding door, right?
00:52:15And guess what?
00:52:16No dining again.
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:18You're right.
00:52:19They skip the trusses, but this drop ceiling with the light around it, it feels so commercial.
00:52:24Yeah.
00:52:25I'm getting the Luxe, but I'm not getting the first part, the livable.
00:52:29I wonder if they intentionally created two spaces like this.
00:52:32Because these chairs are turned, we see their backs.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:35Like this feels completely separate.
00:52:37It doesn't feel cohesive to me.
00:52:39It's not as smooth a transition from one space to the next.
00:52:43I want to enjoy this fireplace a little bit more.
00:52:47We come around the corner from the foyer and get a surprise immediately.
00:52:50This transition is amazing.
00:52:52The floor change is my favorite.
00:52:55Yes.
00:52:56We've got this cool wall.
00:52:57We've got the wallpaper.
00:52:58We've got the brass.
00:52:59And those wine racks are quite special too.
00:53:01Are you trying to find the hidden door?
00:53:03Is that what you're doing?
00:53:04They gave me a clue, but I love the texture also.
00:53:06Like I don't want to, I don't want to break the needle.
00:53:08Oh!
00:53:09Oh, no way.
00:53:10No way.
00:53:11Welcome to the speakeasy.
00:53:13Holy crap.
00:53:28Oh Ty, come on.
00:53:30Yeah, isn't this amazing?
00:53:31Super dark.
00:53:33We've got more wallpaper.
00:53:34Yeah.
00:53:34We're playing with texture again.
00:53:35That super high wainscotting.
00:53:37Mm-hmm.
00:53:38Painted panels.
00:53:39This disco ball.
00:53:41This is amazing.
00:53:42Look at this countertop.
00:53:43I'm touching it.
00:53:44The rounded edges.
00:53:45And it's backlit, right?
00:53:47Yeah.
00:53:48So I think it's really well played.
00:53:49I think it's really great choices they made here.
00:53:52Now, why would you say that it is a huge value add in this town?
00:53:56Well, I associate Vegas with work.
00:53:58I come here to work for conventions and so forth.
00:54:01Yeah, yeah.
00:54:01If I'm entertaining clients or business associates here, this is perfect for me.
00:54:06Yeah.
00:54:06I feel like I'm going to be sending apology notes out to whoever I don't choose.
00:54:09Yeah, you should send out four letters as well.
00:54:11Yeah, I could start drafting these letters right now.
00:54:14All right, let's go.
00:54:15You ready for the next house?
00:54:16That's one more difficult decision.
00:54:19We may need that wine after this.
00:54:25Okay, we got another solid door.
00:54:27Yeah, we do.
00:54:29Ooh.
00:54:31I like this.
00:54:37This is a nice welcome.
00:54:39Yes.
00:54:39Well, yeah, the foyer.
00:54:41Solid oak door.
00:54:42Solid oak.
00:54:43It kind of set the tone for what we're going to get because I'm getting adobe kind of a
00:54:48feel immediately.
00:54:50Yes.
00:54:50So this is modern.
00:54:52Modern hacienda.
00:54:53Lime wash walls brings warmth and timeless texture.
00:54:57Architectural arches add flow, character and craftsmanship and enclosed one closet paid
00:55:03for by using 3K from winning.
00:55:05Oh, this is the winning team.
00:55:06Yes.
00:55:06So modern hacienda.
00:55:08The architecture lives up to it.
00:55:10I love the built-ins.
00:55:12These arches are fantastic.
00:55:14Look at this bull-nose around the fireplace.
00:55:17Oh, we can sit right there.
00:55:19Yeah.
00:55:19I think I really like sitting here.
00:55:22This is Venetian plastic.
00:55:23This is Venetian.
00:55:24Yeah.
00:55:24And this is the next level.
00:55:25I appreciate this kind of attention to detail.
00:55:28Somebody hand-trialed this.
00:55:30Mm-hmm.
00:55:30That's valuable to me.
00:55:31The warmth that the beams add.
00:55:34This is what I was asking for in another house.
00:55:36Right.
00:55:37I want to understand what's happening here with the two groupings.
00:55:41It does seem like two living spaces.
00:55:44Let's take a look at this dining room.
00:55:55Whoa.
00:55:57Is that a full dining room?
00:56:01It kind of makes sense that this house would have the dining room because this is all comfy
00:56:06entertaining.
00:56:07This feels like a family house.
00:56:08Mm-hmm.
00:56:08And I don't know if we've fully experienced that point of view in any of the other places.
00:56:13So it makes sense that they'd have a dining room, right?
00:56:15Mm-hmm.
00:56:15I think they did a really good job of marrying these two spaces with the beams.
00:56:19I like them having the arch.
00:56:21We've got the drape.
00:56:22I love the color change.
00:56:24I wish that it was textured like the rest of the house.
00:56:27Oh.
00:56:27I wish it had that same lime wash.
00:56:29And I wish you would have painted the baseboards the same color.
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:33The wine wall.
00:56:34This one's different.
00:56:35I think there's a power in simplicity, especially in a space like this with all these different
00:56:40ideas.
00:56:40I think the more simple this is, the better it would have been.
00:56:44I think the lights might detract from that.
00:56:47Maybe not the arch in the center.
00:56:49I think what feels different about this house is it's less of a showroom and it almost
00:56:56feels lived in already.
00:56:57It's interesting.
00:56:58Talk about diversity in design.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:01This is the furthest we've gotten away from Vegas.
00:57:03Now we're at the tough part for you.
00:57:05I'm going to leave you with this car.
00:57:07Wait, you're leaving?
00:57:08Oh, yes.
00:57:09You get to decide this on your own and I'm going to meet you outside.
00:57:12Wait a minute.
00:57:12This is when I am the most hated man on the block.
00:57:17Yes.
00:57:17That's what happens now.
00:57:18It's the most difficult job.
00:57:20I'm leaving it in your hands.
00:57:21I'll see you out on the block.
00:57:23All right.
00:57:24Lachelle, you got this.
00:57:26Thanks, Ty.
00:57:26Pick us a winner.
00:57:28That's a lot, Ty.
00:57:36Hello, teams.
00:57:38It's the moment you've all been waiting for.
00:57:41Are you ready to meet this week's judge and find out who won the Great Room Challenge?
00:57:49Yes.
00:57:50Let's do it.
00:57:50Let's go.
00:57:51This week's judge knows this competition inside and out.
00:57:57He is a two-time Rock the Block champion.
00:58:00Please welcome Mr. Michelle Smith-Coy.
00:58:03Hey, hey.
00:58:04Hey, guys.
00:58:05Hey, you said Michelle.
00:58:06Oh, boy.
00:58:06Looking stylish as always.
00:58:08I'm happy to be back to the block, man.
00:58:10Hey, team.
00:58:11Hi.
00:58:12Hey, Michelle.
00:58:12How are you on?
00:58:13Are you smiling?
00:58:14Is that real?
00:58:16Michelle, I believe you have something for me.
00:58:19I do, Ty.
00:58:21Oh, this is exciting, isn't it?
00:58:23Oh, the envelope.
00:58:24So let's get started.
00:58:26Tell me about the first space you explored.
00:58:28Comfortable elegance.
00:58:30Okay, perfect.
00:58:32Comfortable elegance was so damn good.
00:58:36Honestly, it was really exciting to walk in there, and it was so bright and so light,
00:58:41and it felt architecturally relevant.
00:58:42I loved that neutral palette, that sliding door.
00:58:46Fantastic.
00:58:47And we were obsessed with that floor-to-ceiling glass.
00:58:50Not to mention, it was a really smart ad to pop that closet in there to make that wine room
00:58:56also a bedroom.
00:58:57It really doesn't matter what you see.
00:58:59It's what's on that MLS listing.
00:59:00So that was smart thinking.
00:59:02That's the kind of room I want to sleep in.
00:59:04If I was to change anything in your space, maybe a little contrast between the beams and the ceiling.
00:59:09And secondly, I'd love to see a more prominent fireplace.
00:59:13Easy changes with a new homeowner, but great job overall.
00:59:17Now, I believe the next house you saw was Smokey Sexy.
00:59:20What'd you call me?
00:59:22You would be.
00:59:24I'll take it.
00:59:25Smokey Sexy.
00:59:26Who the hell did that?
00:59:28Y'all.
00:59:29That would be Kim and Chelsea.
00:59:30Two women designed the most masculine house on the block.
00:59:34Damn.
00:59:35I love that your narrative was so clear.
00:59:38Taking that mantle from wall to wall was a ball.
00:59:42Those are the kind of details that I noticed.
00:59:44Those are the kind of details that take your space from really pretty to Arc Digest.
00:59:49It was really good.
00:59:51So my cons would be, I wish that you had these.
00:59:55I understand the budget thing, but it would have taken it to the next level.
00:59:58Here's another con, but take it in the best way because I heard this constantly in season
01:00:024.
01:00:03It was very specific.
01:00:06I'm not sure it's going to appeal to everybody, but I don't appeal to everybody.
01:00:10I don't care.
01:00:11I still love this.
01:00:12Thank you, Michelle.
01:00:13Thank you so much.
01:00:14So the next house you toured was Livable Luxe.
01:00:17With a freaking surprise.
01:00:19Y'all, you got me.
01:00:21You got me so freaking good.
01:00:23That's the best speakeasy I've seen on the block.
01:00:25The millwork was so good.
01:00:27It was completely hidden.
01:00:28And when we walked in, I was transported into Casablanca.
01:00:31I literally said to Ty in the wine room, I want more of this floor.
01:00:35The way the angles met the herringbone and the mixed materials on the fireplace.
01:00:42The tactile experience is as important as the visual one.
01:00:44My cons were that drop ceiling.
01:00:47It felt a little commercial.
01:00:49It took me out of the home feel and I didn't quite get the furniture layout.
01:00:55But that's an easy fix.
01:00:56I think you guys created a great environment.
01:00:59Now the other house you toured would be the modern hacienda of, of course, Brooke and Scott.
01:01:04Okay.
01:01:05This is the house you want to be friends with.
01:01:08And it was the only one with a designated dining room.
01:01:11It was the family vibe that I was missing in every other space.
01:01:16I love those bullnose edges and that Venetian plaster on the fireplace.
01:01:21That was really smart.
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:23You won week one.
01:01:25Yep.
01:01:25Congratulations.
01:01:26You had an extra three grand.
01:01:28We sure did.
01:01:29Why did you put that blue light in that wine wall?
01:01:32I told you not to make it blue.
01:01:33It's not blue.
01:01:34That's the white is blue.
01:01:35It is horrendous.
01:01:37I agree with you.
01:01:39Teams each week, $3,000 is at stake.
01:01:42Thanks to the Wells Fargo active cash credit card.
01:01:45The winners have a choice.
01:01:46Use the $3,000 toward your design or add $1,000 to your final appraisal in the grand finale.
01:01:55Well, the time has arrived.
01:01:59The winner of the Rock the Block, Foyer, Din, and Great Room Challenge is...
01:02:16Kimmy Johnson!
01:02:19Woo!
01:02:21Woo!
01:02:21Woo!
01:02:22Woo!
01:02:23Man, it feels good to win.
01:02:24You can feel it.
01:02:25It's the momentum surging through our veins.
01:02:29I'm not pumping the brakes at all.
01:02:31I am more pumped now than ever.
01:02:33I am shocked.
01:02:36We thought we had this one.
01:02:38We thought this one was ours.
01:02:41I feel bad.
01:02:42I'm not crying because I'm so happy for them.
01:02:46I'm sure that their place is gorgeous.
01:02:48It's just...
01:02:49We put a lot.
01:02:54What was it you think about Kim and Chelsea's space that took it over the top for the win?
01:03:00I identified with design selections, the choices, and also the risk that you took.
01:03:06Oh, my heart's gonna explode.
01:03:08All right, so teams, it's time for some strategy.
01:03:11Kim and Chelsea, will you choose to take the $3,000 or add $1,000 to your final appraisal?
01:03:21We're gonna do $1,000 towards the end appraisal.
01:03:24Wow!
01:03:26Okay.
01:03:27It's the sure bet, right?
01:03:28Like, the $3,000 might help us win next week, but the $1,000 will be there at the end
01:03:32no matter what.
01:03:33All right.
01:03:34I gotta say, great job today, guys.
01:03:36Keep bringing the heat.
01:03:38We still have five more weeks.
01:03:40Get some rest, and I'll see you right back here tomorrow morning.
01:03:44All right?
01:03:45Well done, team.
01:03:46Woo!
01:03:49As much as it isn't fun not winning, we're gonna keep running until Ty announces that final winner.
01:03:57You know?
01:03:58We're never out.
01:03:59That's right.
01:04:01Next time on Rock the Block.
01:04:04Everything that's happened up until now is child's play.
01:04:07It's time to tackle the kitchen and dining area.
01:04:11This has to be the best moment of your life.
01:04:13It's up there.
01:04:14There's a lot of cabinets.
01:04:15We could have a problem here.
01:04:16If we're gonna do things that no one has ever done before.
01:04:19There's a reason nobody's done it before.
01:04:22Paige Turner, welcome back to the block.
01:04:25I don't know whether to comment on the elegance or all the added value I'm saying.
01:04:28The rest of the range is missing.
01:04:30There's no oven.
01:04:31Thanks.
