FunTranscript
00:00And I've been dreaming, dreaming of a brand new color.
00:08Allison, this house.
00:11I know.
00:12I'm never going to get tired of it.
00:14I'm here with my dear friend Allison today.
00:17I am visiting her and her new home,
00:20helping her sort through some of her stuff,
00:21and talking about the potential of renovating
00:24her two girls' bedrooms.
00:25So how old is Hattie now?
00:26She just turned 11.
00:27And Adeline?
00:28Adeline just turned eight.
00:30In order to move in, we have to have a place to sleep.
00:32Right now, it's essentially a two-bedroom,
00:34and I need to make it a three-bedroom.
00:36Yes.
00:36There's two giant bedrooms upstairs.
00:39Making that one bedroom into two, it's large enough.
00:42What's your budget?
00:43I'm hoping to keep it around $6,000 or $7,000.
00:48OK.
00:49And I know design services are expensive,
00:51and construction and all of that.
00:53We've talked about this.
00:54We're here to help.
00:55We love doing this era of home.
00:58Yeah.
00:58And you have such an amazing inventory of stuff to work with.
01:02This is shop inventory.
01:03It's stuff that I've squirreled away from myself.
01:05I love antiques so much.
01:06Any dollar we can save you.
01:08Allison had her own flower shop for a while,
01:11and then it sort of morphed into found furnishing pieces
01:14and vintage furniture.
01:15My taste is sort of changing a little bit, where once maybe it was a little on the shabby chic
01:20side.
01:21Yeah.
01:21I think that I'm appreciating a more refined antique style.
01:24I know.
01:24I've sort of transitioned out of my, like, boho chic kind of a vibe.
01:29Maybe it's our age.
01:30Maybe.
01:30Maybe.
01:31The fact that you and the girls have this fresh start.
01:35I had to go through a lot to get here.
01:37It's been a challenging few years seeing my marriage dissolve and becoming a single mother.
01:43I just, I'm so happy for you.
01:47You are such a beautiful light.
01:51Yeah.
01:51I'm so happy for you.
01:53You see me.
01:53Yeah.
01:54You always just, you know.
01:57I'm getting emotional because to be able to take this on and then to bring in my friend who can
02:02help me.
02:02I trust you implicitly.
02:03There's no one I'd rather do it with.
02:05I am here for you, but, like, let's prioritize the girls.
02:09Yeah.
02:09I am more than happy to help out my friend, to help her and the girls really get off on
02:13the right foot.
02:26After years of living in the city, I moved to Prince Edward County.
02:30I'm starting up my design firm again out here from scratch.
02:33Hello.
02:34Hello.
02:35You got both of us here.
02:37Amazing.
02:37We got the whole squad.
02:39Kate and Joe were friends of mine first before we decided to start working together.
02:44I'm out in Cherry Valley, I think.
02:46I still don't know my way around properly.
02:48Oh.
02:49I was with Allison.
02:50The house is amazing.
02:53It's been through so much in the past few years.
02:56So being part of that just feels very, very special.
03:00And kids' rooms are fun.
03:01Kids' rooms are so much fun.
03:03I'm on my way to Christine and John's to look at their third floor.
03:07Oh.
03:09Oh.
03:09So another bedroom situation.
03:11Our design firm, SKDS, is taking on two projects at once right now.
03:15But the thing is, when you're starting out a business, the hustle is hard.
03:18I'm lucky enough to have two different friends right now that need some help.
03:22But they present two very different kinds of projects out here.
03:25We've got a traditional brick home, which is quintessential county architecture.
03:31And then we've also got a modern farmhouse.
03:33We're already getting really busy.
03:35We'll get her done.
03:36We'll get her done.
03:38That's so county.
03:47Christine and John live in Cressy, which is about a half hour drive away from Picton.
03:57Hi, Sarah.
03:58Hi, Sarah.
04:00Happy summer.
04:01Happy summer.
04:02Christine and John.
04:03They bought this old property that had an old farmhouse on it.
04:06And this is what they've turned it into.
04:08A beautiful, modern, white house.
04:12Juxtaposed against the raw ruggedness of the fields, the property.
04:17It's just kind of to die for.
04:20It's the perfect modern farmhouse.
04:23We came to the county for the first time in 2015 and fell in love with the area.
04:29We were thinking about buying a place.
04:32And literally, when we just turned the corner and saw this place, like, I'm going to get emotional just
04:37thinking about it.
04:38We're like, this is the one.
04:39And I don't think anybody else who would have seen the house the way it was would have ever wanted
04:45to even get out of their car.
04:47But the property itself was really beautiful.
04:50John took the old house down board by board.
04:52Then the fun started.
04:53The whole shell of the house was done.
04:55And John and myself pretty much did the whole inside.
04:59Mainly you.
05:02We haven't managed to figure out the third floor.
05:05I don't know if it's we're exhausted from all the other rooms.
05:07Yeah, let's just say we've run out of ideas.
05:09We could use your help.
05:11Let's go check that out.
05:12Everything's white, as my daughter would say.
05:15I know, but it's so timeless.
05:18Oh, modern galley style.
05:20Galley kitchen, love it.
05:21Always wanted a galley kitchen.
05:23This table.
05:25We made this out of the wood from the old house, actually.
05:27What a cool nod to the original house.
05:30John, he can build anything.
05:33I mean, he's working on his own studio right now here as a workshop.
05:37Did you do these?
05:38Christine painted them, yeah.
05:40You paint, too?
05:41This is like too much talent for two people.
05:44All right, let's see this third floor.
05:46Okay.
05:46Okay.
05:48Oh, yeah.
05:50It's a beautiful space.
05:52So this kind of serves as a, like, we get lots of company up here.
05:55Yeah.
05:56My kids get moved up here.
05:57Mm-hmm.
05:57We have a girls weekend.
05:59It has like a Victorian modern dorm vibes.
06:03I'd like to at least fit four to six people up here.
06:07And it'd be nice if they could have a space to actually hang out when they get up in the
06:10morning.
06:11It's an awkward space.
06:12We just don't have the design sense to kind of figure out how to make that cohesive with the house.
06:21I know you love your white on white paint.
06:23I know.
06:23It's a beautiful aesthetic.
06:25I know.
06:25Christine sort of claims she's a minimalist, and she is, but she also loves eclecticism as well.
06:32But it's very curated eclecticism.
06:34I really want to make sure that we extend that vibe up into the third floor,
06:39but also push her a little out of her comfort zone.
06:43Don would like us to apply some color.
06:45Yeah.
06:45Just some color.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Some color.
06:47Some kind of color.
06:49Are you scaring me a little bit?
06:52Do you have a vision for what you'd like down here?
06:54Wide plank pine flooring?
06:56Yeah.
06:57And we've already purchased the flooring.
06:58That's amazing.
06:59I want you guys to put it in.
07:00This elevation interests me.
07:02It's like it wants to be symmetrical, but it's not.
07:07I would love if it was symmetrical.
07:10And we never dealt with the top of this.
07:11We thought maybe we'd use it for something for display or something like that,
07:14but now we just kind of hate it.
07:15We can fit in the two queen beds on either side of this doorway.
07:19Maybe some kind of a textured accent across the back, something like shiplap.
07:24That will allow us to also have a little pendant light on each side,
07:28so you get total symmetry here.
07:30I think that there's something that's really a missed opportunity on that balcony, though.
07:36I would love to paint this little alcove a warm beacon of a light kind of a color,
07:44so that when the lights are on up here in the evening and you've got this beautiful white exterior,
07:49there's just this one little box that's glowing.
07:52Would you be open to that?
07:54Do it.
07:54I think I have to deal with that.
07:55Could we go as bold as orange?
07:58Yes.
07:58Who is this woman?
08:00No, no.
08:00So the reason I'm saying yes to orange is because we already have that as an accent.
08:04We're not introducing this kind of totally different accent color.
08:07Absolutely.
08:08I'm good.
08:08I love it.
08:09I'm proud of you, girl.
08:11How much are we talking about do you guys want to spend up here?
08:14I think we were thinking about in the 10k range.
08:17Okay.
08:17I don't know if that kind of works or not.
08:20Like, if we have any custom pieces,
08:22is that something that I can at least bring to you to see if you can tackle?
08:25Yeah.
08:25I think I'm open to it.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Okay.
08:27Well, I'm going to hang back and do some measurements if you don't mind.
08:29I have to draw this up, get it planning, and then we'll figure out maybe what projects you can
08:33help us with.
08:34Sounds good.
08:34We're excited.
08:35All right.
08:45While Joe and Kate and I get to design this space, John is super handy and we can lean on
08:51him to
08:51actually fix that asymmetrical wall that Christine hates so much.
08:56Christine and John and their family come to the county for the entire summer.
09:00We really want to get this project moving so they can enjoy the rest of the summer here.
09:07Tomorrow's another day.
09:11Hello.
09:13Hi.
09:13Hi.
09:13I brought some fruit.
09:14Great.
09:15This is where I can bring Joe and Kate into the design process.
09:19It's Christine and John's today that we're talking about.
09:22Budget is 10K.
09:24For this one, it makes sense for Joe to be doing the nitty-gritty of managing it all and also
09:28doing
09:29the design work as well because it's not really a large enough project to have a third party come in
09:33and do it and then Kate, this self-taught, amazing art director, stylist.
09:39This is where the best ideas come from is when we really collaborate.
09:42Christine and John's, we've finalized the layout.
09:45We've got the two queen beds tucked into these nice complementary symmetrical nooks.
09:52We've got the day bed in the far right corner.
09:55I'm picturing like a thin runner of a cushion along the back because it is going to be wood.
10:00We've got a lounge area card table.
10:03And then to get Christine's look, it's hits of mid-century modern and also found objects.
10:10I think it's great.
10:11We should have a term that allows us as we divide and conquer to make sure that
10:16regardless of what we're sourcing or picking, we're always coming back to Christine's look.
10:21A design anchor that sums up the look and the feel of that project.
10:27Doing that allows the three of us to work collaboratively and independently
10:32while always ensuring that we're coming back to that root idea.
10:36She uses a lot of vintage fabric and pulled vintage furniture.
10:41But then we've got all like the clean lines of the roof line of the house and inside.
10:45It's very minimal in terms of style.
10:47Okay, I think, okay.
10:48Clean lines and vintage layers.
10:51How about that?
10:52Nailed it.
10:53She's open to color.
10:54She kind of sent me a few ideas.
10:56She's into kind of a very pale blue.
10:58Pulled a few options for us here.
11:01For Christine, this is a real departure from an all-white interior.
11:04And I think it's the perfect amount of color to bring in to create this vibe on the third floor.
11:10It is slightly different than the rest of the house, but still cohesive.
11:13The downside is that my idea for the orange exterior balcony will actually make that gray-blue look muddy.
11:21We have to come up with an alternative, something that's punchier and brighter,
11:25but still has to work with the gray-blue that we used on the interior for the vintage layers.
11:31She did have some fabrics that we can use.
11:34Great.
11:35Where we get those vintage layers brought in is all about the fabrics.
11:39Custom mattress covers as well as back cushions and some throw pillows.
11:44Any concerns about budget?
11:45Oh, yeah.
11:46Well, yeah, so I was just kind of thinking.
11:49We've got a reroute electrical.
11:51Then we've got drywall.
11:53We've got full paint.
11:55We've got new floors, install only.
11:58The day bed.
11:59Did you even have a chance to price it out?
12:01I think we're going to be in the range of about $4,500 to do a custom bed.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Tallying all this up, and I feel like we're already over budget.
12:14I feel like we're already over budget.
12:18How much do you think we have to trim?
12:19What does it look like?
12:20Um, like a few thousand dollars.
12:23Oh.
12:26I think we have to get John to do this day bed.
12:29He basically built that house from scratch.
12:32I'll do up a millwork drawing to see if that's something that he can build.
12:35Tomorrow, I'm going to meet with Allison, by the way.
12:37Because I think it's like all hands on deck to get started on the two girls bedrooms.
12:41Great.
12:41These projects are not big budget, but tight budgets force you to be resourceful.
12:47It brings out my, like, scrappy self and my DIY-er.
12:53So, I secretly love tight budgets.
12:56Don't tell Joe and Kate, because they're like, who did we start a design firm with?
13:00Come on, it's fruit.
13:00Oh, I'd like to say.
13:03Fruit.
13:11Allison's new house is in Cherry Valley, and that's just south of Picton.
13:15Oh, my gosh, Sarah.
13:17Are you ready for this?
13:18Oh, look at it.
13:21It's incredible.
13:22I know.
13:23Ah!
13:24Hi!
13:25Hi!
13:26Joe and Kate and I, we're all friends with Allison.
13:29So, we really want to help her and her girls settle in her new home.
13:34It's literal magic that I'm standing here.
13:36But where it started was from a lot of loss.
13:42I opened my flower shop, Coriander Girl, in 2009 in the city.
13:46And my partner at the time, his family was from Prince Edward County.
13:50And then when we knew we wanted to start a family, it sort of solidified the decision
13:54to come and be here full-time.
13:56The next natural iteration felt like moving into the weddings and events space.
14:01I found the loveliest spot.
14:03It had a church on it.
14:04I had my first inaugural wedding.
14:06During the ceremony, the church floor collapsed.
14:12And a lot of people fell.
14:14I don't know how that happened, but no one was hurt.
14:17The church collapsing set in motion sort of a series of collapses.
14:22In relationship, financially, there was no contingency fund.
14:28My dreams were stolen that day.
14:33I closed Coriander Girl, and I had to really downsize.
14:38I work for a realtor, and this property came across my desk.
14:43And I fell in love with every aspect of this property.
14:47Wow, Allison.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Wow.
14:51I know.
14:51200-year-old beauty.
14:52Look at the detail.
14:53I know.
14:54Look at this dealing height.
14:56She's a grand dog.
14:56I know.
14:57She is a grand dog.
15:00And it has been loved.
15:02Butler's pantry.
15:03Oh, should we go upstairs?
15:04There is a lot to do in Allison's very old house, but we have prioritized tackling the girls' bedrooms
15:12to create two bedrooms out of one room so we can get the family moved in before the school year
15:17starts.
15:17Wow.
15:18It's really asking to become two generous-sized girls' bedrooms.
15:23I'm sorry I won't be able to see Jo, but I love you.
15:26I'm going to say goodbye.
15:27And she's out.
15:28Yeah.
15:29Have fun.
15:29Thank you for trusting us with this to hide in the girls.
15:32I'm going to pay you in flowers.
15:34I love it.
15:34So we take it.
15:36Okay.
15:36Also, my dad is going to be here for construction.
15:39He was a general contractor for 40 years.
15:41Oh, I love it so much.
15:48There is not a big renovation budget, so we really have to be frugal here.
15:53Very obviously, wall down the middle of the room.
15:55Like, we just essentially have to divide this in half, right?
15:58We can do it right through there.
16:00Actually, if you can see right here, there's some old nail lines.
16:04Oh, we didn't even notice that.
16:05And look at even, like...
16:06You can almost see a dip.
16:07Yeah, it's from likely where there was a wall.
16:11We do a dividing wall as close to the center as possible.
16:16We'll have to give it a little bit of breathing room off of the mantel to make sure that doesn't
16:20feel crowded.
16:21Obviously, pulling those details across so it feels original to the space.
16:25Yeah.
16:26This house has so much historical character.
16:29I want to marry this historical charm meets childhood joy.
16:33What's the budget on this project?
16:367,000 or 6,000.
16:39Yeah.
16:39I started high.
16:40Yeah.
16:41Like...
16:41Oh, okay.
16:42So this side we know is going to be Hattie's, her eldest, right?
16:46I do like the wood tone in one of the rooms at least, I feel like.
16:50Okay, let me get my notebook.
16:51I'm going to write this down.
16:53Doing two rooms for children.
16:56And two girls.
16:57And two girls.
16:57I have two girls.
16:58Yeah.
16:58This is like our wheelhouse because it allows us to do some fun things, some kind of whimsical things.
17:04What about like a secret passageway between the rooms?
17:08A secret door or something?
17:09Yeah, exactly.
17:10Like a bookcase on this side that we would have millworked.
17:14Okay.
17:14Oh, I'm seeing Jo's face.
17:16I think it would be like 40% of her budget.
17:18But we're building a fresh wall.
17:21I know.
17:21Like we just leave the opening.
17:22It's the finishing part.
17:24So...
17:25I think that much, eh?
17:26Yeah.
17:27Jo is really bringing me back down to earth.
17:30So I'm a bit concerned that some of these fun ideas might end up kind of on the cutting room
17:35floor.
17:36I don't know.
17:36Yeah.
17:37I'm going to figure something out.
17:38I can crunch the numbers further, but...
17:40Yeah.
17:41They're very spiky, these numbers.
17:42They're jabbing us in the side, these numbers.
17:44I know.
17:45They just bring us back down to reality.
17:47The colors burn so far ahead.
17:52We're moving like chosen paths we tread.
17:56A prison of love.
17:58Christine and John's.
17:59This is a fun one.
18:00I'm excited to get started on it.
18:01We really need to get Adam to close up that cubby on the top of the doorway.
18:09We're color drenching in this beautiful soft blue color.
18:12A little bit out of Christine's comfort zone.
18:17And Adam is starting to install the new floors.
18:22I wanted to stop in at Christine and John's just to check in on Adam's progress and how he's making
18:26out with the flooring.
18:29They were being installed incorrectly.
18:32That's really annoying.
18:34Hey Sarah, it's Joe just outside at Christine and John's.
18:37I went upstairs to check on the progress and Adam started installing the flooring upside down.
18:44If you could come take a look at site, that would be great.
18:51I'm really hopeful that my beautiful, restful, zen drive up to Cressy has put me in a great headspace
18:59to walk into Christine and John's because we've got some problems on this project.
19:03Okay, how were floors possibly installed upside down, guys?
19:08I've been doing this for like 20 years.
19:10That's a first.
19:16How were floors possibly installed upside down, guys?
19:22Technically, it's not flooring material.
19:24They're pine siding boards.
19:26Christine and John, to save money, went and purchased this material themselves,
19:30knowing that this was a pine siding material that is intended to go on the exterior of a building.
19:35You can kind of see, you know, that's the bevel, so that's how we had it.
19:39It's totally pine siding, yeah.
19:41Yeah.
19:41And then on the reverse, it's got a tighter joint.
19:45There is a bevel on one side because for the exterior, you want a little bevel detail.
19:51They wanted it installed upside down so that the boards are really tight to each other.
19:56It's about a quarter of the way done, so we're going to have to rip it out, get some more
20:00flooring and redo it.
20:01We're using a material in an unconventional way.
20:05We should have asked more questions.
20:06I can understand you saw the bevel, and that's a finished side.
20:10I actually have more boards to get, so I'm going to run down there.
20:12Sorry, Adam.
20:13No worries.
20:14Goodbye, troopers.
20:16What are we looking at cost-wise for that being about $400 for the boards?
20:22And then labor-wise, I kind of worked out a deal with Adam.
20:25He's going to kind of cover his labor portion of it.
20:28That's really fair of him.
20:29Yeah.
20:29This is part of running a company, right?
20:32We do have to eat that cost.
20:34It's a small project, so even though it's a small number, it feels like a big number.
20:37It feels like a big number.
20:38Yeah.
20:38It looks great.
20:40I know.
20:40And we painted the outside cubby, too.
20:42It's just like a darker version of in here, right?
20:44That's kind of what we thought.
20:46It's meh.
20:48I think we have to go outside and take a look from out there,
20:50because that's where we wanted the big impact in the first place.
20:53John's in his workshop working on the custom sofa.
20:56Oh.
20:56I cannot wait to see that.
20:57Yeah.
21:01Hello.
21:02Oh, hey.
21:03Hey, John.
21:04How's it going?
21:05How's the day bed sectional?
21:07It's coming along really well, actually.
21:09It's been coming together pretty quickly.
21:11This is why we could help them out with this project with a smaller budget.
21:15John is so handy.
21:16So you can see we decided to just extend that platform out to make this kind of like a table.
21:22Oh, I like that.
21:23That's very like mid-century modern where the platform extends to super low table.
21:28And it creates a little landing where we could put something like a table lamp, a little vase,
21:32to be able to camouflage two twin beds up there.
21:36This day bed is chef's kiss.
21:39Okay, Jo.
21:40Our exterior balcony color, gut reaction if it's working or if it's not working.
21:45Great.
21:49It's falling totally flat.
21:51What are you thinking?
21:52You're thinking something?
21:53Do you have something in your mind?
21:54I do.
21:55Okay.
21:55On the count of three.
21:56One, two, three.
21:59Yellow.
22:00No!
22:01Are you serious?
22:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:03Oh my gosh.
22:03I love that you caught yellow too.
22:04Great minds.
22:05Great minds.
22:06Think of yellow.
22:07Think of yellow.
22:07We're beautiful.
22:12I got a text from Jo.
22:15We need a electric yellow, we think.
22:18The light blue.
22:19This is some of the fabrics.
22:21Let's see what we've got.
22:23I do like this yellow here.
22:28The yellow is perfect.
22:30I wish we got it right the first time, but we got it right the second time.
22:33That's what matters.
22:45Ladies, ladies.
22:48I'm meeting with Allison's girls, Hattie and Adeline, and we're going to go over the direction
22:53that I'm thinking of taking their two bedrooms.
22:56Your mom and I have talked a little bit about favorite colors.
22:59You've shown up wearing your favorite colors, and this is really proving that your mom was right.
23:04Is pink your only favorite color?
23:05Light blue's my favorite color.
23:07Oh, oops.
23:08We got some bad intel, Mom.
23:10Do you know what goes really beautifully with light blue?
23:12It's a peachy pink.
23:15Adeline, possibility of wallpaper.
23:17Yeah.
23:18Okay?
23:18Something as simple as a stripe.
23:20We can bring in really fun patterns on all of your fabrics.
23:25What do you think about that?
23:27Yeah?
23:28You, girl.
23:29You come with me.
23:29All right.
23:31Here now in the future queen bedroom.
23:35I don't think wallpaper is your jam over here.
23:39I think it's all about color.
23:42We're going to pick paint colors with you guys.
23:44Adeline, we're going to start with your room.
23:46Okay.
23:47Oh.
23:47That's so pretty.
23:49Oh.
23:49What would you call that color?
23:51Like the peaches pink.
23:53The color's okay.
23:54Don't worry.
23:55I've got more options.
23:56Oh, that's really pretty.
23:58I love this one.
23:59I love it a lot.
24:00I think I like this one better than that one.
24:04Oh.
24:07What do you like the most?
24:11I'm liking this one.
24:13Really?
24:14With our wallpaper.
24:16Really beautiful.
24:17You're very mature for your eight-year-old age, madame.
24:21Patty.
24:22Oh, that's really pretty.
24:24And I think it's just a teensy bit too dark.
24:27Okay, I actually really like that one.
24:29We still have option three.
24:31Oh, that's really pretty.
24:33I really, really, really, really like that color.
24:37Oh, I love working with you clients.
24:40Now I can make the decision on the rest of the furnishings
24:42because we have our jumping off point.
24:44We're going to get Cory and her dad, Paul, in to build the wall,
24:47which will save us a lot of money.
25:01We're in the town of Bloomfield right now,
25:03which is one of the most picturesque towns in the county.
25:06I absolutely love it.
25:08Hi, Shelley.
25:10Hi, Sarah.
25:11Keep and Coquito are both owned by my dear friend, Shelley.
25:14Today, Kate and I are looking specifically for Christine and John's real investment pieces
25:19that go on the bed.
25:21We're kind of working with the idea of clean lines,
25:23and we'd love to have some vintage layers.
25:26And I'm seeing your wall of blankets.
25:29And this is very vintage to me because this is like hand-woven wool blankets.
25:33And they've been doing it for 100 years?
25:35Oh, wow.
25:36I'm going to pull out the paint color.
25:37This is saying Christine to me.
25:40I know she loves this kind of earthy brown tone.
25:44Let's start with this.
25:45This is catching my eye, though, Sarah.
25:47Like, what do you think of this style of cushion?
25:49That.
25:50I do feel that the color...
25:53See something.
25:54Oh.
25:55Yeah.
25:56Of course I see something.
25:57Of course.
25:59There's multiples of these.
26:01Yeah, that's another thing to consider.
26:03What does that look like?
26:04That's cool.
26:05All of a sudden, this is getting cooler, right?
26:09Yeah.
26:10Like, it's a little bit more mid-century modern for Christine.
26:13I'm really loving this one.
26:14Darker black is better with the day bed.
26:18Okay.
26:24I'm very excited to see how the space has been divided into Hattie and Adeline's bedroom.
26:29So much has changed since the last time you were here.
26:32Wow.
26:33Paul, this looks amazing.
26:37Well, thank you very much.
26:39I had to replicate some of that trim.
26:41Wow.
26:41You are so talented, Paul.
26:44Oh, my goodness.
26:45And how amazing to do this for your granddaughters.
26:48Oh, yeah.
26:48I can never turn my daughter down.
26:50And she's such a...
26:51She's such a sweetheart.
26:53Industrious.
26:54Our entire family.
26:56Look up to her.
26:57I see where she gets it from, though, Paul.
27:00You're such a beautiful person.
27:02And it's really a pleasure to be able to help your family in any way that we can.
27:07Because we love Allison.
27:08We love you.
27:09We love the girls.
27:10Yeah.
27:10I have an amazing relationship with my father.
27:13And not everyone has that, you know?
27:16And it's really special.
27:18So, it's, uh, yeah.
27:19I got a little choked up.
27:21Adeline's room looks so good.
27:23Yes.
27:23I know.
27:24I know we can't do a big, millworked bookcase hidden door.
27:29What if we do something like just a medicine cabinet?
27:32Or, like, a little picture that you open?
27:35What if we did something smaller?
27:38Like a fairy door?
27:39Yeah.
27:40If we were to go down in a basement, like, almost like a little mouse hole.
27:43We can hide it better that way, too.
27:45Oh, I love this.
27:46I was thinking too big.
27:47Too big.
27:48Gotta go smaller, Mike.
27:48We have a small budget, small little pass-through.
27:51I love it.
27:52Where are we at with our very tight budget?
27:55I think we're doing okay.
27:56Paul's done so much.
27:58Go team.
27:59Yes.
28:00But let's not jinx it.
28:01No high-five?
28:02No high-five.
28:02Not yet.
28:03Not till we're done.
28:13This is a low-budget project.
28:16Joe had a lot of leftover elements, like this tile that we were able to use.
28:20Adeline loves the color blue, but we're doing a pink room for her, so we're trying to bring
28:25hits of blue.
28:26The blue of the flower is very much Adeline, but we feel the flower is very much Allison.
28:32So it's a nice mix of Allison and her daughter Adeline in the bedroom.
28:38There is nothing more transformative to a space than paint.
28:42And what I love about the colors for both girls' rooms is that they're very historical colors,
28:48so they are suiting the home.
28:51We're also incorporating a little bit of wallpaper in Adeline's room,
28:55and this simple little stripe pattern is just so sweet, but not juvenile,
29:00and very in line with the heritage of the home.
29:08Being so inspired by the local shops, this design firm is truly county.
29:13We're shopping for Allison's Girls, Hattie and Adeline.
29:17Our theme for this is classic charm meets childhood joy.
29:21Lots of small decor items.
29:23It's the way we breathe personality into a space and doesn't feel spanking new designer.
29:29Okay, we've only got $200 to work with.
29:32Oh, this Bentwood chair.
29:34I'm a sucker for a Bentwood.
29:36What about the desk in Adeline's room?
29:39I would love that.
29:40Oh, these are fun too.
29:43Terracotta shade is kind of incredible.
29:45It really is.
29:47Could we use them in Hatties?
29:50I love them.
29:51I like it.
29:51Hi, Ronica.
29:52We're gonna just pick through your wares here.
29:55Yeah, well, you're the best worst-kept secret in the county.
29:58I love these.
30:01Could they work for the girls' rooms though?
30:04They are kind of the right colorway for Christine and John.
30:08That is an aggressive scallop.
30:10It's the little, just enough wrong, it's right.
30:13We could paint them blue.
30:16Yes.
30:16For Adeline's room, there is an art to this.
30:19If you see something that sparks your excitement, you must purchase it,
30:24because you're never gonna find that again.
30:26Let's tally this up.
30:27Why don't you get Ronica?
30:28Okay.
30:29And I will start sectioning it out by what's for Alison's project.
30:33BRB.
30:33And what is not.
30:42Yeah.
30:45Joe and I packed up a whole bunch of smalls.
30:48We're gonna shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush.
30:50All right.
30:51Approaching a dressing day of a house, we start with the larger pieces.
30:55John's day bed?
30:56I know.
30:57Yeah.
30:58Who knew?
30:58It's the perfect neutral over here for all of our pattern mixing that we're gonna do.
31:03Great work, John.
31:04I think this is a bolster.
31:05Got it.
31:06We brought extra of everything just in case we need.
31:10As you do for propping days.
31:11Yeah, you never know until you get it in the space.
31:14I think for the sheer cost of those pillows,
31:17we should probably try to dress without them.
31:21Yeah.
31:22It can very quickly pull us over budget.
31:24You are talking to me about budget.
31:27I know.
31:27How do we feel about the velvet?
31:30I like the tan mustardy.
31:34What if I add this?
31:35So we've got those blankets.
31:37Yeah.
31:38Let's just.
31:39There's your answer.
31:40I think we need the pink.
31:42Yeah.
31:42That's the way to brighten it up.
31:45We can't make it look cluttered.
31:47That is not Christine's aesthetic.
31:49Just this.
31:50Yeah.
31:50Very cute.
31:51I feel like it's really Christine.
31:54Yeah.
31:55I'm not worried.
31:55And John.
31:56I'm sorry.
31:56John too.
31:57That's the wild card.
31:58Yeah.
31:59I'm not even worried anymore.
32:01No?
32:01I feel like cocky.
32:02Yeah.
32:02It'll look great.
32:10Hi.
32:11Hi guys.
32:12Today is the day that I hand back Christine and John's third floor bedroom living room space.
32:19I've got one little thing to do up there.
32:21Okay.
32:21And then I'm going to come down and get you.
32:22How are you feeling?
32:24I'm nervous.
32:24I'm excited.
32:26I'm like emotional.
32:26You're going to see everything.
32:28But I'm like, I'm so excited.
32:30I really am.
32:31I need like 10 minutes.
32:32Yeah.
32:32Maybe 20.
32:33Okay.
32:34We have taken a lot of our major design cues from Christine.
32:38So the flow throughout the house is still there.
32:42Ready.
32:43Okay.
32:44Okay.
32:44Are you ready?
32:45Oh my gosh.
32:47Wow.
32:48Oh my goodness.
32:55Wow.
32:57Oh my goodness.
32:59Okay.
32:59It is stunning.
33:08The bed is gorgeous.
33:10The colors are gorgeous.
33:11It's great.
33:13It's like a luxury accommodation for a family.
33:15It's really, really nice.
33:20The color was so scary for me, Sarah.
33:24And now I'm up here and it's like, you could see the color, but you can't see the color.
33:29It just blends into the space.
33:31So thank you.
33:33You know where it really shows up is when you see it against the yellow.
33:36How do we feel about the yellow?
33:39I love it.
33:41Yes.
33:41It's not overwhelming the space.
33:43It's like this feature of this room.
33:46If you look back here, we've lost that asymmetrical build out.
33:51So now you've got these complimentary symmetrical nooks.
33:54We really were so careful at getting the Christine vibe, the fabrics.
34:02Everything was hitting clean lines of the modern build, but the vintage layers in there.
34:07I think I am going to sleep up here tonight.
34:10These floors are pretty nice.
34:12I mean, it's a big improvement on our white plywood floor for sure.
34:15The pine siding material as floor worked out really well.
34:20Yep.
34:20And then the sofa day bed.
34:26I love that.
34:28John, amazing work on building the base for this day bed.
34:33It was a lot more work than I thought, but I'm very happy with it, actually.
34:39I'm very happy with it.
34:39Yeah.
34:40It sort of looked like a dorm room up here.
34:42Yeah.
34:42We've essentially been able to camouflage two twin beds into that day bed, right?
34:48We've got space for six people.
34:51We've got multiple sitting areas, which we never even imagined.
34:56We've got storage for weekend guests.
34:59This is like the last space in our house.
35:02Yeah.
35:02And now it's all done.
35:04In kind of record time, thanks to the lack of reno work that was required.
35:08And how do we do with budget?
35:10I think we made it in our $10,000 budget.
35:12We did.
35:12We did.
35:13It's pretty awesome.
35:14Thanks to free labor.
35:15This is amazing.
35:16This has been like, really great.
35:18She's happy.
35:18I'm happy.
35:19Yes.
35:19That's how it works.
35:20And we got you color, John.
35:21Yeah.
35:21And you got me a little splash of color, which is great.
35:24I love that Christine and John trusted us with this.
35:28I can tell she loves it.
35:29And I can tell that we have pushed her a little out of her comfort zone.
35:34And she's happy there.
35:35And I think that's the biggest win.
35:40She speaks for you.
35:43Baby, we're in bloom.
35:47In bloom.
35:49Baby, we're in bloom.
35:52Kate?
35:53I know.
35:54It's so perfect.
35:56So cute.
35:57So cute.
35:58It's time to dress both Adeline and Hattie's spaces.
36:01Thankfully, Allison did used to have a vintage furniture store, so there is a lot to pull from.
36:06I love the way the black side table picks up on the black knobs.
36:10How are we feeling about the bed?
36:13Where do we start?
36:13Funny you should ask, Sarah.
36:16Something isn't quite right.
36:18Feels so dark.
36:19So we brought some options.
36:19So then we thought we could put a bedspread on the end.
36:23I don't think it's the bedding.
36:25I think it's the bed.
36:26Because we've got the deep, rich wall,
36:28you're not getting the impact that usually a black metal bed makes against the lighter wall.
36:34I see what you're doing.
36:35Upholstered headboard.
36:36So if this was upholstered, and I'm going to do something crazy.
36:40Yeah.
36:40And lighter.
36:42Already?
36:42Like, look at how much more ethereal.
36:44Feels so much lighter in here.
36:46You have to bring it all.
36:47It'll work.
36:47But we have to get on an upholstered bed ASAP.
36:52ASAP.
36:529-1-1 bed.
36:55We can return this one for sure.
36:57I'll get on that bed right now.
36:58Okay.
36:59It's the old and new, old and new, right?
37:01It's classic charm, childhood joy.
37:03Feels joyful in these rooms.
37:05This is feeling more joyful.
37:06Joe.
37:08Joyful.
37:20Allison has left these beautiful little bouquets for both of her girls' rooms.
37:26A little thank you note.
37:27Thank you for everything.
37:29Love, Allison.
37:31Helping create two girls' bedrooms for our dear friend Allison.
37:35I think it's our way of, huh?
37:39I think it's our way of showing that we're trying to rally behind her.
37:42Welcome home, ladies.
37:44Hi.
37:44How are you doing, honey?
37:46Hi.
37:48I can't believe how much mama's holding it together.
37:52Oh, my goodness.
37:53I just can't believe we're here.
37:55The girls are so excited to see it.
37:57Holly.
37:58Yeah?
37:59You're going to stay down here.
38:00Okay.
38:00While we show Adeline her big girl bedroom first.
38:04Okay.
38:04Okay?
38:05And then we're going to show you your bedroom.
38:09with your mommy, okay?
38:12Check out your new room, Adeline.
38:18Oh, my gosh.
38:32Look at your canopy.
38:34Look at the tiles.
38:36I can't.
38:38I can't.
38:40I am in total shock.
38:43Look at what you did.
38:50Everything is perfect.
38:53Look at your room.
38:55Adeline, what's catching your eye the most?
38:59The bed is the most beautiful.
39:01I love it.
39:03Look at the tile.
39:05Your grandpa did that for you.
39:07This is the way I brought in that blue color that you love.
39:11Oh, my gosh.
39:12It's so good.
39:15Adeline, do you remember when we were talking about the paint colors in the wallpaper?
39:18Yeah.
39:19So this is how we ended up using it.
39:21We put the paper on between the plate rail and the chair rail, which is the center part.
39:26And then we used that beautiful pink color that we picked for the rest of it.
39:30So cool.
39:33And Adeline, just in case it's overnight that you're missing sharing a bedroom with your sister,
39:37you do have a way to talk to her.
39:40Oh, there?
39:44Oh, my gosh.
39:50A little fairy door connection.
39:53That's pretty cool.
39:54I can't get over this.
39:57Well, what do you think?
39:58Should we go get Hattie?
40:01Yes.
40:01Okay, we'll come back and get you when it's time for you to see Hattie's too, okay?
40:06Hattie, are you ready to see your new bedroom?
40:10Here we go.
40:15Oh, my gosh.
40:16I don't even have words.
40:22Are you ready to see your new bedroom?
40:24Yeah.
40:28Oh, my gosh.
40:29I don't even have words.
40:34Oh, well, well, oh, oh.
40:36I have.
40:37I don't even.
40:38Oh, well, well, oh, oh, oh.
40:41I have.
40:41They both did the same thing.
40:42I love it.
40:43Look at what you did.
40:45It's so awesome.
40:47Oh, my gosh, Sarah.
40:48So different, too.
40:49It's so different and so good.
40:55It's so different and so good.
41:06I think the original trim adds more, like, dimension to the room.
41:11Oh, yeah.
41:12You know exactly what you're talking about.
41:14The purple, it pulls out the yellowy undertones in the wood, so it actually makes the wood look
41:20even nicer.
41:21And this was that purple we picked together for your room.
41:24My shade, it goes well.
41:25Like, the copperness of it kind of grabs this.
41:29We found them at a vintage shop, and they're bringing that perfect shade of terracotta that
41:33just makes the purple feel a little cooler.
41:36Yeah.
41:37Really nice.
41:37Yeah.
41:38And Hattie, it's a real mix of vintage pieces with modern pieces.
41:42So we've got the style of your home that has brought this look to us.
41:48And then we've brought sort of your own style within the space.
41:51Yeah.
41:52So you've got your vanity.
41:54I'm, like, obsessed with it.
41:56It's like, it has so much wisdom and, like, curiosity in it.
42:00Oh, my gosh.
42:01This is just, like, perfect.
42:03There's actually something else over here you haven't even noticed yet.
42:05What?
42:07Behind here.
42:12Are you there, Adeline?
42:14Yeah.
42:15What do you need?
42:19Get your hand out of it.
42:21I can't get my hand through.
42:24I'm going to cry.
42:25This is awesome.
42:26Okay, bye.
42:27Do you love that?
42:28Oh, my God, I love it.
42:31So isn't it amazing that this used to be just one big space, and now it's two very different bedrooms.
42:37And we got it done on time.
42:39Yes.
42:40We are before school.
42:41You guys are ready to move in.
42:42And most importantly, we got it done on budget.
42:44But that is completely thanks to your dad.
42:47Oh, my gosh.
42:48I have been asking the girls just to trust me that I'm working really hard to get us back to
42:56what
42:56they grew up having, which was a beautiful place to call home.
43:02Look at my bed.
43:04Look at my bed.
43:06Today felt like everything I've been telling them is coming to fruition.
43:12Oh, my gosh.
43:13I love it.
43:15We've got Allison's two girls' bedrooms finished.
43:18We've got Christine and John's third floor now done.
43:21It was really fun taking on both of these sets of projects at the same time.
43:25Having such different styles.
43:27So now we've got some great photography for our portfolio, for our website.
43:33And like attracts like.
43:34So let's just keep going.
