00:00:00Previously on Rock the Block, the teams bet big on their main living areas,
00:00:05the great room, foyer, and den.
00:00:07This is exciting.
00:00:09Week one winner Scott and Brooke nearly folded.
00:00:13This is bad.
00:00:13Well, it's going to go from bad to worse.
00:00:16Mina and Vernon hatched their plan, focusing on heads and beds.
00:00:20Because it has the closet, it's now technically a bedroom on the appraisal.
00:00:25Kim and Chelsea double down on their smoky, sexy vibe.
00:00:28We'll just do the tile, literally, wall-to-wall.
00:00:31While Tanya and Drew went all in, creating a secret showstopper.
00:00:36Every house needs a signature moment.
00:00:37This is the house with the speakeasy.
00:00:39Two-time Rock the Block champion Michelle Smith-Boyd returned to judge their spaces.
00:00:44This is a player move.
00:00:46This is good.
00:00:47That's great design.
00:00:48And crowned the week two winners.
00:00:50Kim and Chelsea!
00:00:53Now, they're tied with Scott and Brooke at one win apiece.
00:00:58In week three, the competition roars into the heart of the home.
00:01:02I've never cried over a hood before.
00:01:04I'm putting my appraiser hat on, and we could have a problem here.
00:01:07This has to be the best moment of your life.
00:01:09It's up there.
00:01:10This was not cheap.
00:01:12This is the spot that has to be amazing.
00:01:14And HGTV superstar Paige Turner arrives to judge.
00:01:18This built-in bookshelf is a winner for Paige Turner.
00:01:21This is a full-second kitchen.
00:01:23There's no cabinetry in there.
00:01:24I'm not digging this.
00:01:34Good morning, designers!
00:01:36How's everybody holding up after the first couple of weeks from the block?
00:01:41Good!
00:01:41No complaints.
00:01:42So, how about a big congratulations to Kim and Chelsea on their big win of the great
00:01:47room for your A&D?
00:01:49Well done.
00:01:50It feels so good to win.
00:01:52So good.
00:01:53It just gives us that little boost of confidence, but also the targets now on our back.
00:01:59You know, like, we are now the team to beat.
00:02:02So, you guys took the $1,000 toward your final appraisal.
00:02:06You feel like that was a pretty smart move?
00:02:09Yeah, felt like the sure bet.
00:02:11Time will tell.
00:02:12You guys keep things real close to the vest.
00:02:14Nice.
00:02:15Now, let's get to the high roller action with week three.
00:02:19Oh, yes, it's time.
00:02:20The one you've all been waiting for.
00:02:23Game faces.
00:02:26It's time to tackle the kitchen and dining area.
00:02:31You are responsible for the entire kitchen and attached dining space.
00:02:36So, what you do with that space is totally up to you.
00:02:40And remember, the judging criteria are added value, overall design, and creativity.
00:02:47The kitchen is what separates the amateurs from the professionals, right?
00:02:54You win the kitchen, you know that you're getting your value there.
00:02:57I'm sorry, I don't think anybody is going to out-kitchen us.
00:03:00And remember, you have one week to complete your spaces.
00:03:02And, of course, your furniture and decor is coming from Wayfair.
00:03:06Yes.
00:03:07Yay!
00:03:09All right, guys.
00:03:10Go get those kitchens!
00:03:13Yay!
00:03:14Good luck!
00:03:14Let's try some bigger.
00:03:21Week three.
00:03:22Here we are.
00:03:23I still feel good.
00:03:25I feel good.
00:03:25I feel fresh.
00:03:26I do, too.
00:03:27Kitchen.
00:03:28Let's do it.
00:03:28I like this kitchen already.
00:03:30You like the layout?
00:03:31I like the lighting.
00:03:32I like where it is.
00:03:34This is where the island is intended.
00:03:36Which I don't dislike.
00:03:37I feel like our vibe is very defined at this point.
00:03:41And we've got to find the ways to bring it in here, right?
00:03:45All the materials just have to be that smoky, sexy vibe.
00:03:49Mm-hmm.
00:03:49I feel like we've got to pick and choose which is dining, which is kitchen.
00:03:53So.
00:03:53We always said that our island was going to balance out our fireplace.
00:03:57I'd rather be dining be over there with the windows, I think.
00:04:00We could build out, like, a giant banquette.
00:04:03Yeah, we can have it upholstered and bring in some cool fabric.
00:04:06Mm-hmm.
00:04:07I think we could get rid of the sliders.
00:04:09I would love big new picture windows.
00:04:13What is your preference in a kitchen?
00:04:16Like, what's important to you right now?
00:04:17I have always wanted a stove cove.
00:04:20A cove stove.
00:04:21Stove cove.
00:04:22Stove cove.
00:04:23Stove cove.
00:04:23Cove stove.
00:04:24What I love about it is it gives dimension, where it's not just one line of, like, here's your fridge,
00:04:29here's this, here's your stove, here's your cabinets.
00:04:32It gives dimension.
00:04:34It feels architectural.
00:04:34And it's cozy.
00:04:36It does look like a piece of art, kind of like our fireplace.
00:04:39I mean, for me, it's a yes.
00:04:41I would love to cove the stove with you.
00:04:43Full cabinetry.
00:04:45We use antique mirror.
00:04:47Keep the island here.
00:04:48I think it could get a little bigger.
00:04:49Some really killer countertop material that's got all of our colors in it.
00:04:55And then a beautiful waterfall if we can afford it.
00:05:27Good.
00:05:28I don't care what those lunatics think.
00:05:33It makes sense if you're prepping in here that the fridge would be in here.
00:05:36I think it does.
00:05:37I don't want two refrigerators.
00:05:39That's more for me to check what's expiring.
00:05:41I don't want two dishwashers.
00:05:42I can't even remember if my dishwasher's clean or dirty.
00:05:44I want one dishwasher by my big sink.
00:05:47I want my refrigerator freezer in here.
00:05:50Okay.
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:51I love that idea.
00:05:52Great.
00:05:53The kitchen is high stakes because I do think if you get it wrong, and there's a lot of ways
00:05:58to get a kitchen wrong, the wheels could come off our whole house.
00:06:01When buyers come in, I feel like it's what they're most excited to see is the kitchen.
00:06:05So it's, I feel like it's one of the most important spaces.
00:06:08And so this to me is going to be one of our biggest numbers, like 60 grand.
00:06:12I think we can pull it off for 60 grand.
00:06:15I know we can.
00:06:15We're going to have to.
00:06:16I think we're taking some pretty big risks this week, honestly.
00:06:19The fridge.
00:06:20Yeah.
00:06:21Do it.
00:06:21The refrigerator not being in the kitchen and being in the prep, not having two.
00:06:27Risk reward, roll the dice, blow on them, blow on them.
00:06:34Does that spit on you?
00:06:35A little bit.
00:06:39Every other team is going to bring it in the kitchen.
00:06:41It's obviously a super important part of the house.
00:06:44No one likes to lose.
00:06:45We definitely don't like to lose, but we do not need to reinvent the wheel here.
00:06:49Hopefully, we'll get our first win.
00:06:52I think it's a great space.
00:06:53So we've obviously got big fridge here.
00:06:56Big, big boy stove.
00:06:58When we wrap drywall around the vent.
00:07:00Love that look.
00:07:01Badass cabinets over here.
00:07:03Tons of drama.
00:07:03Nice.
00:07:05And I mean, we're going to make this a Vernon-sized island.
00:07:09We have this plumbing here.
00:07:11Are we going to keep the sink here in the middle?
00:07:12Something's going to have to be in the island.
00:07:14I don't, I would prefer the island to have nothing, but I don't think we can do the sink
00:07:19and the stove on this wall and make it, like, aesthetically pleasing.
00:07:23I usually am not one for the sink in the island because I just like the big slab without being
00:07:28broken, but I also like that you can be doing the dishes, watching the game instead of your
00:07:35back.
00:07:35I don't like, you know, if you, when you, like, dine out or when you sleep, there's, like,
00:07:40there's a ninja position.
00:07:41Right.
00:07:41You know what I'm talking about?
00:07:42Yeah.
00:07:42So it's who's ever is, like, ready to see and fight the attackers that come in, the ninjas.
00:07:48You don't put your back to the door in the restaurant so you can see the bad guys.
00:07:51Right.
00:07:52This is how my brain works.
00:07:53It's messed up.
00:07:53Ha, ha, ha, the bad guys.
00:07:55So this is the ninja position.
00:07:56I don't quite understand why we've got the wall between here, and I don't love it, so I
00:08:02would be inclined to take it down and have our prep kitchen kind of go all the way around
00:08:06here.
00:08:06We do a secondary fridge.
00:08:08We do another dishwasher.
00:08:10A big wine fridge, maybe a cappuccino bar.
00:08:13Some open shelving.
00:08:14Yep.
00:08:14To save a little bit of money.
00:08:16An additional set of appliances is an appraisal thing, but also a sellability thing.
00:08:20I love how much light we have over here.
00:08:23My cat loves the sun.
00:08:24You should see my cat.
00:08:25See your spot.
00:08:25I got this big 30-pound cat.
00:08:28What, ideally, like, functionally would you use this space for, especially since we added
00:08:33a dining area last week?
00:08:36What about bookshelves?
00:08:37Like, built-in ones around the windows or something.
00:08:40Yeah.
00:08:40Kind of making it game room, library, so, like, board games, like a low table, some chairs.
00:08:46Yeah.
00:08:46Books on the shelves, board games on the shelves, a little, like, cute decor.
00:08:50I think that flow with the rest of the space is nice.
00:08:53Fun, comfortable, and elegant.
00:08:55Yeah.
00:08:55We already spent $95,000, so, you know, we're getting close to that budget.
00:09:00We went a little crazy last week with the glass enclosure around the den, and I think we really
00:09:07need to try our best to figure out how to stay around, like, $45,000.
00:09:12I'm not confident about the budget, but we'll figure it out.
00:09:15I think our biggest risk is really that we're not taking any huge risks.
00:09:20We're not dumping a ton of money in here.
00:09:22We're being very strategic, placing it throughout the home.
00:09:25Demo?
00:09:25I'm confident about that.
00:09:41Everything that's happened up until now is child's play.
00:09:45True.
00:09:46Kitchen, make or break.
00:09:48So, we're going kitchen plus.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:51This is a multi-million dollar home.
00:09:53Right.
00:09:54We've gone for the entertaining vibe.
00:09:56I think we need to lean into that even further.
00:09:59If our kitchen's going to start here.
00:10:02Okay.
00:10:02With our cabinets.
00:10:03Mm-hmm.
00:10:04Stove with a hood.
00:10:05Yes.
00:10:06Let's build around the range hood so that it looks grand.
00:10:09Double island.
00:10:10Double the value.
00:10:12This could be the morning, the afternoon, the evening room.
00:10:16We're above counter height.
00:10:17Yeah.
00:10:17We can continue counter height.
00:10:19A buffet there or something.
00:10:20Breakfast bar.
00:10:21Oh, I like that.
00:10:23Like, built in.
00:10:25We have to keep an eye on Tanya.
00:10:27Like, I have to think, what would Tanya be doing?
00:10:28And then we got to amp it up.
00:10:30Because this is her specialty.
00:10:32I know that Tanya knows this space.
00:10:34She is a pro.
00:10:36And I think they're the ones that we got to watch for this week.
00:10:39And there's this pantry.
00:10:41I mean, I'm all about having kind of like a prep kitchen.
00:10:44I have an even better idea.
00:10:46Let's do a second kitchen.
00:10:48Oh, thank you.
00:10:50I love that.
00:10:51If it's a kitchen, we should have a window.
00:10:53Open this wall up.
00:10:55Fridge.
00:10:56Sink.
00:10:57Oven.
00:10:58Dishwasher.
00:10:59I'm in for like a sneaky bar.
00:11:01You could put some fluted paneling on it or something.
00:11:03I like that.
00:11:04And then we just do open shelves.
00:11:06Shortcut to the dining room.
00:11:08Yes.
00:11:09I like it.
00:11:10Oh!
00:11:14It's so bad.
00:11:15Look at how red my hand is.
00:11:16How are you the daughter of a wrestler?
00:11:18Oh, my gosh.
00:11:19Well, we don't do that.
00:11:20We do that.
00:11:23The kitchen is the heart of the home.
00:11:25And we need big spaces.
00:11:27We need a lot of room for entertaining.
00:11:29We need a lot of stuff to cook with.
00:11:31You could spend $150,000 on this kitchen easy.
00:11:34But we don't have that, do we?
00:11:36I think we need $55,000 for the kitchen.
00:11:39And even that's tight.
00:11:41What can we do to make up for it?
00:11:44I think if we just get to work, we'll figure out where we have to stop.
00:11:55Woo!
00:11:58This is like the whole reason I want to be here in this competition is to win this space.
00:12:05So basically what you're saying is I can't be cheap on this one.
00:12:08The fact that we have the kitchen next is a great way for us to rebound.
00:12:11You know, it kind of puts our strengths back out there in front of everybody.
00:12:15It's challenge number three.
00:12:16We're going for lucky three.
00:12:18We're putting everything that we have into it because this is really a big deal for us.
00:12:22This is a redemption moment for us.
00:12:24I design restaurants.
00:12:26It is my jam.
00:12:27It's what I do.
00:12:28I've done it for almost 20 years now.
00:12:30I really would love to bring that hospitality, restaurant energy into the space.
00:12:38So, back in the day, my brother and I, we had a restaurant.
00:12:41But the kitchen felt sterile and cold.
00:12:43Okay.
00:12:44I want to make sure that we're able to still make it feel warm and inviting.
00:12:49How do you feel about the island?
00:12:51Go as big as we can with whatever slab we get.
00:12:54Maybe a soft curve.
00:12:56It's going to soften some of the hard edges that are everywhere.
00:13:00All right, so cabinetry.
00:13:02I think we should do two-tone cabinetry.
00:13:04I love two-tone.
00:13:05You like wood, right?
00:13:06I love wood.
00:13:07What if we go grass hood?
00:13:10That's going to be like a goat.
00:13:11It is going to eat budget.
00:13:13It's going to be the goat hood because it's going to be the greatest of all times hood.
00:13:17I'm in.
00:13:17Are you in?
00:13:18I'm in.
00:13:19That means we are going all the way up with cabinets.
00:13:22What if we find a way to do a library ladder?
00:13:28I love that idea.
00:13:30Okay.
00:13:31Let's go look.
00:13:31This looks like it's a pantry, but this could be a perfect prep kitchen.
00:13:35Separate fridge, separate sink, dishwasher too.
00:13:39Yep.
00:13:40Storage.
00:13:42This room has a lot of great light that comes into it.
00:13:45This could be a little bit more of like an intimate dining setting.
00:13:48Yeah.
00:13:48What if we open this up as well?
00:13:51Are you thinking a slider?
00:13:52Exactly that.
00:13:53I mean, I think we definitely need a seating area.
00:13:56I would love to see these windows go like floor to ceiling.
00:14:00We're on the third challenge and we're already 100K in.
00:14:04Whatever this is going to cost, a prep kitchen, this massive slab.
00:14:10Yeah.
00:14:10All this cabinetry that comes all the way down here.
00:14:13All this beautiful dark cabinetry.
00:14:14Where is our actual fridge going?
00:14:20Well, so about that.
00:14:24I'm trying not to go too over the top with the restaurant thing, but we're over the top already.
00:14:29So like, how about a walk-in?
00:14:35Like an actual walk-in refrigerator.
00:14:38We're going to have to go through that wall.
00:14:40Exactly.
00:14:41We'd have to bump this out.
00:14:42We could definitely do it, but is it worth it?
00:14:47If we're going to go big and do things that no one has ever, ever done before on the block,
00:14:52or-
00:14:52There's a reason nobody's done it before.
00:14:55It's going to be so much money.
00:14:57I'm going to look into pricing.
00:14:59I'm going to do due diligence.
00:15:00I'll see what it's going to cost, and then we can decide.
00:15:04I mean, we have other spaces we have to do after this, though, too.
00:15:07I think this is going to cost us somewhere in the realm of like 80 grand.
00:15:11Maybe even 100 if we get the walk-in.
00:15:14We went big the first two weeks, but I say we go big again.
00:15:18I really want to win this, Drew.
00:15:20Like, if there's one thing I want to win, it is this.
00:15:32The biggest change we're making this week is in our morning room.
00:15:35We took out the slider and replaced a few other meh windows with seven massive ones.
00:15:41This was like a subtle but very big change.
00:15:44This feels so cool and high-end now to me.
00:15:47It really does.
00:15:48I was feeling a little bit concerned at one point that the banquette was going to feel too heavy for
00:15:52that morning room vibe,
00:15:53but seeing all the windows completely negates my concern because it is so cheerful and bright in there.
00:15:58Okay, now what I'm thinking, you've got all this light over here, and it's so magical and so sparkly,
00:16:04and then you come over here, and I'm wondering if this is too dark, so what do you think if
00:16:09we did add a pair of windows on either side of the cove?
00:16:14We lose the upper cabinets.
00:16:16We could use the brass and glass shelving that would come off the side of the cove that then it
00:16:23would function more like open shelving,
00:16:25or do you think this is going to cost extra if you had to say?
00:16:28It's apples to apples.
00:16:30We're not gaining.
00:16:31We're not losing money, but we are upping the design, and that's a win.
00:16:36I have never had a space that I could make like a library, and it feels very bougie to me.
00:16:45I'm excited about it.
00:16:47I think when the judges are doing their bit, like obviously it's about value,
00:16:51but I feel like they're looking for things that are a little fun and different and interesting.
00:16:57I think we got that and more.
00:16:59I have two little kids.
00:17:00Like, I don't read for pleasure much nowadays, but anyone, even if you don't, like me, have a million books,
00:17:06I would still love to have it.
00:17:07It's beautiful.
00:17:08I would buy books to fill it.
00:17:10Well, you don't have to buy books.
00:17:11You can just host an event called Books and Burgers, bring all your friends over, have them all bring books,
00:17:16two or three books.
00:17:17They all got books at home they can donate to you.
00:17:19That's so smart.
00:17:23You're going to want to come close to the door as possible.
00:17:26Can you take it this way?
00:17:28Being able to tie this shelving into this space really works with this room overall, and it stands out.
00:17:34As soon as you walk in, you have the nice light coming in, and it's right next to the kitchen.
00:17:38So I think it's a great use of space.
00:17:41I think it turned out good.
00:17:42I like it.
00:17:43It's how I would want to use the space.
00:17:47I mean, obviously, all that natural light is doing wonders for the space.
00:17:51Yeah.
00:17:52You know how it's going to look, though, when we do the glass panels for the walk-in fridge?
00:17:56It's going to be insane.
00:17:58So right now, without that cooler, we have less than $100,000 for the rest of the competition.
00:18:05Do we really need a $30,000 walk-in cooler?
00:18:09I mean, I know that sounds crazy, but to me, something like this is going to just set it completely
00:18:14apart.
00:18:14Let me push back a little bit.
00:18:16I get that the walk-in is important to you, but our livable luxe details are going to blow away
00:18:21the judges, with or without that walk-in.
00:18:24Tensions are a little bit higher now than they were clearly in week one, when you had $275,000, and
00:18:29it seems like a fortune.
00:18:30Now we are less than $100,000 left, and we have a lot of house to go.
00:18:38Okay.
00:18:39I can't even believe I'm saying okay.
00:18:42I don't want to say okay.
00:18:43But you said it.
00:18:44I heard okay.
00:18:46I heard okay.
00:18:48I think my eyes are welling up a little bit right now.
00:18:52All right, well, my walk-in fridge has walked away.
00:18:59If I get a huge fridge, it takes up, like, literally this whole space.
00:19:03Literally that whole space.
00:19:05And it's panel ready, not stainless.
00:19:07Panel ready.
00:19:08And since we're not eating into the pantry anymore, we can keep it as is, and we can add tons
00:19:12of shelving.
00:19:19I don't want to say okay.
00:19:22You ain't never seen it done like this.
00:19:25We got the glove on lock, and we can't be stuck.
00:19:28Can't be a star.
00:19:29You ain't never seen it done like this, Scott.
00:19:33You ain't never seen it done like this.
00:19:36We got the glove on lock, and we can't be stuck.
00:19:39Is it too heavy for you, Scott?
00:19:41It's, hey, we have a lot of cabinets.
00:19:44Easy.
00:19:46We've decided to swing for the fences when it comes for the kitchen.
00:19:49Is that a baseball term?
00:19:50Yeah.
00:19:51Why would you swing for a fence?
00:19:54Because you're trying to hit a home run.
00:19:56You're just swinging for the air?
00:19:57Because then the guy catches it when it hits the fence,
00:19:59and then they get you out, right?
00:20:00You're swinging to hit the ball over the fences, right?
00:20:03So, okay, swinging for over the fences.
00:20:06Swing for the fences.
00:20:06Yeah.
00:20:06Okay, so anyway, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
00:20:08That's okay.
00:20:09You want me to use a hockey analogy?
00:20:11Sure.
00:20:12All right, we're going for a hat trick.
00:20:13We've got our standard kitchen set up, which I love with the arch.
00:20:17If we can pull this off, it will be a buzzer beater.
00:20:20NBA had to get it in.
00:20:21A buzzer beater?
00:20:22Yeah.
00:20:22That sounds dirty.
00:20:23What?
00:20:25Cabinet, cabinet, cabinet.
00:20:26We're going to have our prep kitchen back there with more cabinets.
00:20:29It's a lot of cabinets.
00:20:32And?
00:20:33You know what?
00:20:33I'm thinking, I'm putting my appraiser hat on for a second.
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:37And we could have a problem here.
00:20:39Why?
00:20:44I'm worried because we need this win.
00:20:46It's the biggest win of the entire thing.
00:20:48Here's the problem.
00:20:50What if the appraiser comes in, looks at our kitchen, and says it's all two samesies?
00:20:55The light floors, the light cabinets, the islands, like, should we have switched up the color?
00:21:02Like, we just did all the same.
00:21:05I'm starting to second-guess this plan.
00:21:07Your instincts are saying, ah, we should switch it up because that's what you're used to.
00:21:12But what if you try something different and it actually works?
00:21:15Then your whole world is like, pfft.
00:21:17So you're risking it.
00:21:20I'll tell you what.
00:21:20This is a risk in a different way.
00:21:22I'm not as worried as you are.
00:21:24I stand confident in the decisions that we made.
00:21:27Has there ever been a time where you have not had confidence?
00:21:31It's called my mother.
00:21:34There's still time to elevate what we have.
00:21:38Even, you know, if we do something a little fancier with the range hood, make that the centerpiece.
00:21:42If you did a corbel, you could sit it here.
00:21:46There's still things we can do without having to go backwards.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:56That's where a corbel comes in.
00:21:57I really like that.
00:21:59I like that a lot.
00:22:00We have this cool range hood, but it's just sitting there with these floating shelves that don't connect for any
00:22:07rhyme or reason.
00:22:08Right, right.
00:22:08So with this corbel idea, it feels more custom intentional and it looks great.
00:22:13I just want to see one more thing.
00:22:15Just hold it up.
00:22:15Let me just...
00:22:16So imagine if you...
00:22:17Ah!
00:22:18Jeez.
00:22:19Ah!
00:22:26Our cabinets have arrived and now we just need to make some final layout decisions.
00:22:31Okay.
00:22:32So...
00:22:33This moment has come.
00:22:34Mita hates clutter, so we can't leave anything on the counter when she's around.
00:22:37So we got a lot of storage for her and the judges.
00:22:40Which I very much appreciate.
00:22:42Now we just need to decide if we want the glass cabinet on the bottom or kind of higher up.
00:22:47There's this big guy and then one of these that stacks.
00:22:51And that's what gets us all the way to the ceiling.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:54Okay.
00:22:54So I want to set the two stacks up.
00:22:57One like we have in the picture, but one where it's closed glass closed.
00:23:04So if you just tilt it back a little bit, what we should be able to do is lift here.
00:23:10All right, let's slide it down here.
00:23:12You are very tall.
00:23:14I did undo this.
00:23:16I think I like it.
00:23:17So that's one option.
00:23:19Option two is actually the way we drew it up originally with the reed glass panels on the bottom of
00:23:24the tower.
00:23:25We obviously love the glass section.
00:23:27They're beautiful.
00:23:27We just want to figure out where to place it on the towers to give us the best visual balance.
00:23:32Oh, I like that way better.
00:23:34You do?
00:23:35That feels top heavy.
00:23:36Like...
00:23:36It does.
00:23:37Like she just gonna fall forward.
00:23:38I like this a lot better.
00:23:40I feel like functionally that's better and aesthetically that's better.
00:23:43So I feel like it's the easy choice.
00:23:49This is one of my favorite parts of the house.
00:23:51Same.
00:23:52This amazing, massive banquette.
00:23:55How many people can sit here? 37?
00:23:57With all these windows.
00:23:59This one kind of brings out that 70s.
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:03The banquette is kind of bringing back that old school.
00:24:07It does feel like one of those kind of groovy, built-in, sunken living room, sectional sofas.
00:24:14I'm obsessed with that.
00:24:15I know.
00:24:15That is a good one.
00:24:16Honestly, like, either is gonna be a winner.
00:24:20Flip a coin.
00:24:21Toss a water bottle.
00:24:23Whoever wins gets to pick the fabric.
00:24:26We'll use this as the target.
00:24:28Grab a water bottle.
00:24:30Whoever can toss it in from the furthest distance gets to choose.
00:24:33I hate competing against Kim because I go in it already assuming I'm gonna lose.
00:24:39What?
00:24:43Nice.
00:24:44Oh, no.
00:24:47Dang.
00:24:54Yay!
00:24:55I do like your fabric.
00:24:56Okay, good.
00:24:56Watch your knee.
00:24:57It kinda pulls everything together.
00:24:59The colors match our cabinetry.
00:25:01It's got that very dark brown in it.
00:25:03The terracotta burnt oranges that we have on the fireplace.
00:25:08Winner, winner.
00:25:09It's great.
00:25:10Felt good.
00:25:11I'm happy with that.
00:25:23I know you're still sad that you didn't get your walk-in fridge, but hopefully this antique brass hood makes
00:25:28up for it.
00:25:29This kitchen definitely needs a showstopper and this hood is it.
00:25:35All right.
00:25:35All right.
00:25:36This is the brass hood.
00:25:37Yep.
00:25:37The piece that I've been waiting for.
00:25:39Yep.
00:25:40Yes, it is.
00:25:40This is like Christmas morning.
00:25:42I have been dying to put this brass hood.
00:25:45It's antique brass.
00:25:46It's beautiful.
00:25:47One.
00:25:48Two.
00:25:49Three.
00:25:55This is more than my car.
00:25:57Oh my gosh.
00:25:59Yeah.
00:25:59No joke.
00:26:00This thing was a real hefty price tag.
00:26:02You need a little bit of extra.
00:26:04A little bling.
00:26:04A little bougie-ness.
00:26:05Yeah.
00:26:05Especially in Vegas.
00:26:07It's the crown jewel of this kitchen.
00:26:09I've been wanting to do this forever.
00:26:11Today is the day.
00:26:13This bouncing off of the fireplace around is really going to kind of just, you know, fuse the two spaces
00:26:20together.
00:26:20Totally.
00:26:21Right now the big question is, is it going to fit?
00:26:24As much as I want to show you my manly prowess, I'm going to bring in some help for this
00:26:28one.
00:26:28Okay.
00:26:29Oh my God.
00:26:30My heart's felt to stop right now.
00:26:32I can't watch this.
00:26:33This is too stressful for me.
00:26:36Oh.
00:26:37Oh my God.
00:26:38It fits.
00:26:39Is it fitting?
00:26:39Ah!
00:26:40We got it.
00:26:41I'm kicking out.
00:26:42Kick out the bottom.
00:26:43I got the bottom.
00:26:43There we go.
00:26:45There it is.
00:26:45All right.
00:26:46I mean, is it weird if I cry over a hood?
00:26:49I am that happy about this.
00:26:51This is pretty spectacular.
00:26:53Luxury items also can add value.
00:26:56I mean, they are, they are stories.
00:26:57They are moments.
00:26:58They are, are things that people remember about a home.
00:27:01If you had a toilet made out of gold.
00:27:03You'd remember it.
00:27:04This is-
00:27:04I'm crying.
00:27:06I'm literally, and my eyes are watering.
00:27:07Because yeah, you've cried over a hood before.
00:27:09I've never cried over a hood before.
00:27:12Oh, this is awesome.
00:27:14I don't know how we don't win this kitchen.
00:27:16I'm freaking out because this wood is very rustic.
00:27:19This has been so hard.
00:27:21This kitchen is not trending.
00:27:22It is what's next.
00:27:24Nina, Vernon.
00:27:25Oh.
00:27:26There you are.
00:27:27What?
00:27:28Paige Turner, welcome back to the block.
00:27:32All of the gold and brass is very Vegas.
00:27:35The rest of the range is missing.
00:27:44This is the ultimate kitchen.
00:27:45I wish I had this kitchen in my house.
00:27:47And it's all coming together really fast.
00:27:49Watch your back.
00:27:50Watch your back.
00:27:51Oh.
00:27:52Amazing.
00:27:53Put that guy there.
00:27:55Oh.
00:27:56This is, here we go.
00:27:58Oh my gosh.
00:28:00Push, push, push.
00:28:01There's so many.
00:28:02Hold on.
00:28:02There's so much stuff.
00:28:04Scott.
00:28:05One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:28:07Oh my gosh.
00:28:08Scott.
00:28:09Everything's coming in now?
00:28:10Everything's coming in right now.
00:28:11Help me.
00:28:11We're not ready for this.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:13Go, go, go.
00:28:14Oh my gosh.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:15Right.
00:28:15Go over there.
00:28:16This is exciting.
00:28:17The appliances have arrived.
00:28:19Everything's being delivered all at once.
00:28:20Wine cooler.
00:28:21Sir.
00:28:22Can we put the refrigerator right where it goes?
00:28:25And then I'll deal with the doors later.
00:28:27We got two stoves.
00:28:28We got two dishwashers.
00:28:29We've got a range hood.
00:28:30Two microwaves.
00:28:31Two microwaves.
00:28:32What's that one?
00:28:33Oh my gosh.
00:28:34Scott.
00:28:34Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:28:35The oven, I can't move on my own.
00:28:36More is more in Vegas.
00:28:38What are you doing?
00:28:39Stop playing around back there.
00:28:40We've spent a lot of money on these appliances.
00:28:43But we're going to get that money back.
00:28:45Because high-end appliances keep the appreciation value high.
00:28:49You're clear?
00:28:49If the judges are evaluating us based on how many appliances there are, we're definitely
00:28:54going to get the win.
00:28:56100%.
00:28:58Take that one.
00:29:00Oh my gosh.
00:29:01What's that one?
00:29:02Oh my gosh.
00:29:04Come on.
00:29:10I am loving how our pantry is coming together.
00:29:14Oh, it's beautiful.
00:29:15Yo, Mina, Vernon.
00:29:17There you are.
00:29:17Aw.
00:29:17There you are.
00:29:19What?
00:29:21That's nothing.
00:29:21It's not exciting when we see you anymore.
00:29:24Go ahead.
00:29:25You guys think I'm bringing more work?
00:29:27I don't know.
00:29:28Are you going to get this money?
00:29:29No, I'm honestly just checking in with you guys to see how are you holding up.
00:29:33I mean, look, this is the first time on the block.
00:29:34Like, how is it?
00:29:36Oh, man.
00:29:37It's giving me a run for my money for sure.
00:29:39I renovate, flip homes and things of that nature.
00:29:42But kind of like a rookie in this space.
00:29:44You know you have to get it done at a certain time.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:47And just the anxiety and the anticipation and just adrenaline is all there.
00:29:51But it's cool to see you in this environment.
00:29:53Because, like, you studied fine art, right?
00:29:55I did.
00:29:56By my junior year of college, I changed my major to fine arts.
00:29:59We did metal casting when I was in college.
00:30:00We created sculptures.
00:30:01I learned how to paint.
00:30:03So, to me, a house is the same thing.
00:30:05You have a blank canvas.
00:30:07Now, it's up to you to add the pieces where they need to be.
00:30:09I like what I'm seeing.
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:11But, uh...
00:30:12It's the color of your eyes.
00:30:13It really brings out the, like, the blue-green.
00:30:15Wow, thank you.
00:30:16Look at this.
00:30:16You put it next to it.
00:30:17Yeah.
00:30:18It's so beautiful.
00:30:19It's so beautiful.
00:30:20It really is.
00:30:20Look at the color of your eyes.
00:30:21There's a more green, not mine.
00:30:23But you guys feel good?
00:30:24Like, I mean...
00:30:24I feel great about this zone.
00:30:26I hope so.
00:30:27Because I know you've got sort of a...
00:30:30I don't want to call it a grudge.
00:30:32But, like...
00:30:32I've got something to prove.
00:30:33You've never won on the block.
00:30:35I've never won anything ever.
00:30:37Yeah.
00:30:37I really do feel, like, super confident.
00:30:41I think we really got this.
00:30:42And we're going to be able to prove to everyone that we do.
00:30:45We've got, like, one big swing that I think anyone's going to have a really, really
00:30:49hard time beating us on appraisal.
00:30:52Ooh.
00:30:53I'm glad you guys are doing well.
00:30:55All right, I'll talk to you guys soon.
00:30:56Thank you, sir.
00:31:15Oh, wow.
00:31:16That mirror is sick.
00:31:18That was such a good idea.
00:31:19I love that you thought of that.
00:31:20I can't wait to go...
00:31:20I've never put a mirror in a kitchen before.
00:31:23And it's hard to make a kitchen sexy.
00:31:25Because it's so utilitarian.
00:31:26The hall monitor people of the world are going to say,
00:31:29Ugh, this is going to be so hard to keep clean.
00:31:31Ugh, do I want to see my reflection while I scramble eggs?
00:31:34To those people, it's not going to be quite right.
00:31:37But to the people who are enjoying their lives, they are going to love the smokey mirror
00:31:42behind the stove.
00:31:43I am so thankful that I won the bottle-in-a-bucket challenge because I think that this is...
00:31:49I feel like you cheated.
00:31:51The perfect fabric for this banquette.
00:31:55It's going to be controversial.
00:31:58You think?
00:31:59For sure.
00:32:00If somebody is focused on practicality, they're going to be thinking about how you're going
00:32:03to get in and out of this and how hard it's going to be.
00:32:06But I think it's awesome.
00:32:08See, I think I would be admiring it so much that that wouldn't even cross my mind.
00:32:11I would just be so excited that someone did it.
00:32:14Any family in Vegas would absolutely love this banquette.
00:32:17Yes, it's for the kids, the kids' friends, Thanksgiving, game night, you name it.
00:32:22We found an antique butcher block table that is actually perfect dimensions.
00:32:29It's exactly what we needed.
00:32:31We found it at a cool local antique store and it's better than what I was picturing.
00:32:36Gods have spoken. They're on our side.
00:32:38We'll get this cleaned up a little bit.
00:32:40I think if we just get some clamps on this and give it a little sanding and some fresh oil,
00:32:45it's going to be great.
00:32:46I mean, what a cool place to chop.
00:32:47Let's put a big cutting board over the top.
00:32:49Yeah, I do like it.
00:32:52Bridge looks good.
00:32:53Everything came together well.
00:32:55Yeah, you're on your phone again.
00:32:57I'm looking at the competition. I'm seeing Tanya's work.
00:33:01I think Tanya's going to do something crazy.
00:33:03I want to know what they're doing.
00:33:05Well, they're our neighbors.
00:33:07We can peek through the window on that side.
00:33:10I was thinking kind of something more...
00:33:13Do you want to break in?
00:33:14Not break in, but I was thinking something a little bit more devious.
00:33:19Like Trojan horse.
00:33:20Let's say I go in here.
00:33:22Now you're going to tape it up.
00:33:24Do we have tape?
00:33:25We're going to go put it on a pallet and then just tell someone on their team,
00:33:28hey, I think Tanya and Drew's fridge is delivered.
00:33:31And then once they move me inside, I need you to go back five minutes.
00:33:35That's all I need.
00:33:36Go back and be like, oh, I think our fridge got delivered over there and rescue me.
00:33:43All right, step on the pallet.
00:33:45Do you see the pallet?
00:33:50Where is it?
00:33:55This thing?
00:33:56What is it?
00:34:04This thing?
00:34:05What is it?
00:34:06Is it our fridge?
00:34:06It's already in.
00:34:12Abort!
00:34:13Abort!
00:34:14Abort!
00:34:15Abort!
00:34:15Abort!
00:34:15What are you trying to sneak in?
00:34:17I'm going in.
00:34:18I'm looking.
00:34:18Wait, wait.
00:34:19What are you guys...
00:34:19Where did Trojan's come from?
00:34:21Was she in there also?
00:34:23I think she was hiding.
00:34:25What?
00:34:25Oh!
00:34:26Scott!
00:34:27Scott!
00:34:29Scott!
00:34:30I'm glad you guys have enough free time on your hands.
00:34:33You know, we're busy over here working.
00:34:35That's why you play hockey.
00:34:36Nothing to see here.
00:34:39I can't.
00:34:40I keep thinking about it.
00:34:41I can't.
00:34:42I was trying to make a clean getaway.
00:34:45This box running with little legs underneath it and then the whole box just like...
00:34:50It was pure gold.
00:34:52My shins are bleeding, so...
00:34:54It was worth it.
00:34:55What's up, baby?
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57Man, this is crazy.
00:34:59Mina!
00:35:02Look at that.
00:35:03Woo-wee!
00:35:04The truck is here with our massive kitchen island slab.
00:35:08That's going to be sick.
00:35:10I've never seen a piece that looked like that.
00:35:11It's so perfect.
00:35:12And it's making me so, so happy.
00:35:17Watch out to the right, to the right.
00:35:19I really wanted a natural stone because I wanted the depth.
00:35:23This is dolomite.
00:35:24It's a mineral.
00:35:25It's similar to limestone, but it has a little bit more magnesium in it.
00:35:28And you just get this really pretty mixture of colors and veining, and it looks soft.
00:35:33I'm glad we splurged on this because this was not cheap.
00:35:37Vernon and I both live around our kitchen island.
00:35:39We don't eat at our dining table.
00:35:41We don't really eat in the living room.
00:35:42Like, this is where you are.
00:35:43So this is the spot that has to be amazing.
00:35:48Oh, yeah.
00:35:49Oh!
00:35:50Whoa!
00:35:53I can make a snow angel in here.
00:35:55Look at this.
00:35:59So we have this beautiful wood ladder that we are going to use on a library rack in the kitchen.
00:36:04So we have to get that so it matches our cabinetry.
00:36:08I think this is going to be a signature part of our kitchen.
00:36:12Making a black stain, you'll see the wood grain.
00:36:15It'll look stunning.
00:36:16Look at this.
00:36:17Oh, that is so pretty.
00:36:18Look how dark that is.
00:36:19And don't even let it sit for long.
00:36:21Yeah, just wipe it off.
00:36:22With that grain, right?
00:36:23Oh, my God.
00:36:25I love it so much.
00:36:27Storage equals value.
00:36:29Now we have a beautiful but functional way to access them.
00:36:32This ladder does triple duty.
00:36:34One, it looks freaking amazing.
00:36:37Two, it adds value because it gives you access to the storage.
00:36:41And three, I forgot what that third one was.
00:36:44Because we wanted it.
00:36:46Damn it.
00:36:46Look at this.
00:36:47Oh, my God.
00:36:48Look at this.
00:36:49Oh, my God.
00:36:50Look at this.
00:36:52You can even just roll it sideways, too.
00:36:53You can roll it.
00:36:54Just roll it.
00:36:55Roll it.
00:36:56That is incredible.
00:36:58It's actually not heavy at all.
00:36:59It's not.
00:37:01There we go.
00:37:02Oh, I want to try it out.
00:37:03Boom.
00:37:04And it feels very sturdy.
00:37:06It's sturdy.
00:37:07It blends in beautifully with the cabinetry.
00:37:10We can pop it back off.
00:37:12And it's got its own little secret hiding spot.
00:37:16And it just slides right in.
00:37:19We always have a little something, something of a surprise.
00:37:22Right?
00:37:23Ladder?
00:37:24What ladder?
00:37:24I don't see a ladder.
00:37:25There's a ladder in here?
00:37:26There's no ladder.
00:37:39It's a big old hunk of rock.
00:37:41Do you think our island's big?
00:37:42Whose island is that?
00:37:43I think it's Kim and Chelsea.
00:37:44I think that's just their center section.
00:37:46Does that make you nervous?
00:37:48No.
00:37:48I'm not changing a thing about ours.
00:37:51Oh, my God.
00:37:53It's massive.
00:37:54This has to be the best moment of your life.
00:37:56You love this countertop.
00:37:58And now look.
00:37:59Alongside having a child, it's up there.
00:38:02There's browns.
00:38:03There's blacks.
00:38:03There's greens.
00:38:04There's even speckles through it where it looks like a constellation.
00:38:08To me, it's just crazy that this has come from Mother Earth.
00:38:12We're using the same countertop material as we did in our Winning Den last week.
00:38:16So not only is it gorgeous, but it helps to tie these two rooms together.
00:38:20Wow.
00:38:21This is a little scary.
00:38:23Oh, my gosh.
00:38:24Oh, my gosh.
00:38:25Don't crack.
00:38:26Don't crack.
00:38:26Don't crack.
00:38:27Oh, my gosh.
00:38:30Don't crack.
00:38:31Wow.
00:38:35Yay!
00:38:39Yay!
00:38:39Bravo!
00:38:41Perfecto!
00:38:41Oh, my God.
00:38:42It is so insane.
00:38:44I mean, 1,400 pounds of slab.
00:38:49It's so warm.
00:38:51It's so warm.
00:38:51And they got that in this house.
00:38:52You know what this feels like?
00:38:54When you get a hot stone massage, but it's like you're the stone.
00:38:59It's like if a big stone got a little human massage and they laid little people on it.
00:39:04You're getting real weird right now.
00:39:14I have our paint.
00:39:15Hey, before you start painting, what do you think about our prep kitchen?
00:39:19I'm feeling a little bit like I'm making a cocktail, like a, you know, like how the bartender
00:39:23shakes a lot.
00:39:24Like a painted cocktail?
00:39:25Now they like shake a cocktail maker like this.
00:39:28I don't know why they do it up here.
00:39:30Because if they do it down here, it looks weird.
00:39:34Now that I see all the cabinets coming in, I mean, they're nice.
00:39:37They're beautiful.
00:39:37They've got a rustic vibe.
00:39:39Modern Hacienda.
00:39:40I see it all.
00:39:41But I am worried that it's just going to feel monochromatic.
00:39:45Like just, bleah!
00:39:46Here's the idea that we were discussing.
00:39:49To take the fluted paneling.
00:39:51Right.
00:39:51And apply it to the doors over here.
00:39:55Right.
00:39:56And then I think we paint it, right?
00:39:58We got to pick a paint color.
00:40:00Just to make this feel a little more exotic.
00:40:03That looks like AstroTurf to me.
00:40:04But there's some energy there.
00:40:06And I feel like the judges want to see things that are like a little more on the outrageous side.
00:40:13We're making it up as we go.
00:40:14Oh, that's pretty.
00:40:15It might be too dark in here.
00:40:17Oh, that looks like Barney to me.
00:40:19Oh, hi, girls.
00:40:21Barney's purple.
00:40:22I don't know.
00:40:23Who's Baby Bop or something that was in it, right?
00:40:25You like this screen?
00:40:26Yes.
00:40:27That might be too dark.
00:40:28Looks gray now down here.
00:40:29From up here, that looks gray.
00:40:31Can we mix the green gray and the green?
00:40:33Can we, like, do a mixture?
00:40:35Because I do see what you're saying about the vibrancy.
00:40:39That I can go with, though.
00:40:40That's prettier.
00:40:41I think the one that you like and the one that I like need to have a baby.
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:45And we're going to paint these the new baby color.
00:40:47Let's make some babies.
00:40:49We're having a baby.
00:40:50We are having a baby.
00:40:52A little green baby.
00:40:53Don't tell my wife.
00:41:00I've never been a believer of trends.
00:41:03This kitchen, in my opinion, is not trending.
00:41:05It is what's next.
00:41:07There are elements to this kitchen that I've never seen before.
00:41:10We have a double curved island.
00:41:13She's gorgeous.
00:41:14Don't cry.
00:41:15Don't cry.
00:41:15This island is 12 feet long.
00:41:18And it's curved on the front as well as the bullnose curve.
00:41:22Oh.
00:41:23Oh.
00:41:24What Harry Met Sally moment.
00:41:26I'll have what she's having.
00:41:27This is everything that we wanted it to be.
00:41:31And more.
00:41:32I mean, this detail?
00:41:34That's fantastic.
00:41:35Drew, every single thing about it is livable meets luxe.
00:41:39The biggest thing about this kitchen is we want to make it beautiful.
00:41:42We want to make it something that takes your breath away and you walk in.
00:41:45But at the same time, when you're living in this house, you have every amenity that you could dream of.
00:41:50I'm liking the pantry.
00:41:51I know you were not excited about it and you wanted your walk-in freezer.
00:41:55No one has ever said, I would like less storage in my kitchen.
00:41:58Correct.
00:41:59So I feel like this is a big selling feature.
00:42:02I think this is a smart move from an appraisal standpoint.
00:42:05Yes.
00:42:06I feel like it's going to appeal to a lot more people.
00:42:07The combination of our kitchen, the prep kitchen, and this additional storage is going to give us the WF.
00:42:14Ooh.
00:42:15With this one.
00:42:15Nice.
00:42:16Is that the best use of dust you've ever seen?
00:42:19I did it.
00:42:24I am absolutely obsessed with our hardware.
00:42:28I think since we've got the two different cabinet colors out here and then this one's a third, the cohesive
00:42:34hardware really ties it together and they're definitely elegant.
00:42:39Gosh, I love how heavy this is.
00:42:40They're solid brass.
00:42:41Solid.
00:42:41Yeah.
00:42:42It just feels rich.
00:42:44Feels expensive.
00:42:45I don't even have to go to the gym anymore.
00:42:47I can just take the handles off and just start doing curls with it.
00:42:49Curls for the girls, you know?
00:42:51What are we doing with this glass today?
00:42:52Are we installing?
00:42:53Yeah, it's super easy.
00:42:54I like reeded glass.
00:42:55I'm not a huge fan of frosted.
00:42:57I don't know why, but the reeded makes it not see-through enough that you can have stuff behind there
00:43:03that maybe isn't, like, perfect.
00:43:05Now there's, like, three of you.
00:43:10All right.
00:43:11Okay, so the ridge is going outward.
00:43:12You want the smooth facing that way.
00:43:14Smooth.
00:43:15Yeah, there.
00:43:16Put your sweat out of there.
00:43:17Every detail really matters because our mantra has been, we don't want, like, the one thing that punches you in
00:43:22the face when you walk in.
00:43:23We want all these little things to add up to this really beautiful, this really comfortably elegant feeling when you're
00:43:29in the home.
00:43:30I love it.
00:43:31That's perfect.
00:43:32Yeah, that's nice.
00:43:43You're right, guys.
00:43:43Get our stuff.
00:43:43Oh, my gosh.
00:43:45Here we go.
00:43:47Oh, yeah.
00:43:48We're here for us.
00:43:49Oh, my gosh.
00:43:51Cheers.
00:43:52There we go.
00:43:53There's white leather.
00:43:54I'm gonna guess.
00:43:55I have a feeling that's Brooke and Scott.
00:43:57Kim, Kim, Kim.
00:43:58Calling Kim.
00:43:59Who wants chairs?
00:44:02Let's go.
00:44:02Let's go.
00:44:03Let's go.
00:44:03We gotta go.
00:44:04Whose is this?
00:44:05What's the weight on this sucker?
00:44:06Oh, that's pretty.
00:44:08Let's go.
00:44:08The judges are coming.
00:44:10All right.
00:44:10Let's go.
00:44:11We have one hour.
00:44:13We had a crisis of confidence this week.
00:44:16We really got nervous that we hadn't made the best decisions.
00:44:20And that just pushed us even harder to make sure that those cabinets were surrounded by the most spectacular items.
00:44:27I got a couple last pieces to put together here.
00:44:31Our kitchen is really cool and different.
00:44:35And that's not something you normally see.
00:44:37I have never won anything playing safe.
00:44:39Talk about a place that you want to have a dinner party and hang out with your friends.
00:44:43Nobody's going to want to get up and leave the table.
00:44:44It's so cool.
00:44:46It's so different.
00:44:47It's so unexpected.
00:44:48And I just think that it definitely gives off the smoky sexy vibe.
00:44:51Good.
00:44:52I like that.
00:44:54We have the most sick island.
00:44:56These amazing bookshelves.
00:44:58Our prep kitchen.
00:44:59It's beautiful.
00:45:00It's functional.
00:45:01I feel that we've put everything that we possibly could into this design.
00:45:05This is the space where I get my first win.
00:45:09Vern!
00:45:10You doing good?
00:45:1140 minutes left.
00:45:13Let's go.
00:45:13Okay.
00:45:13This kitchen is eating a major chunk of our budget.
00:45:17We are going all in.
00:45:19So that means we have to win.
00:45:21Because we all know what happens when you go all in and you lose.
00:45:24Put this on the left.
00:45:27We're not going to get it all done.
00:45:29Take those plates off the top right there and back in the left corner.
00:45:33Good job.
00:45:35There you go.
00:45:36This has been so hard.
00:45:38I know.
00:45:46Paige Turner.
00:45:47Welcome back to the block.
00:45:49I'm back on the block, Ty.
00:45:51How are you back?
00:45:53I'm so excited to be here.
00:45:55Paige is an HGTV superstar and the co-host of Love It or List It.
00:46:00I mean, what does that mean cost-wise?
00:46:02It's about $14,000 to $15,000.
00:46:04She's also a two-time rock-the-block competitor and has won this same space, the kitchen and dining room.
00:46:11Paige and Mitch.
00:46:14We've just completed our third week and they've been working on the kitchen and dining areas.
00:46:19Well, this is good news.
00:46:21Yes.
00:46:21Well, for me, I don't know about for them.
00:46:23So, remember, this is a blind judging.
00:46:25So they don't know I'm here.
00:46:27Right.
00:46:27They won't know you're here.
00:46:28You won't know whose space you're touring.
00:46:30This is going to be fun.
00:46:32The criteria is overall design, added value, and creativity.
00:46:37Let's get started.
00:46:38Let's start right here.
00:46:39All right.
00:46:40The kitchen, huh?
00:46:41Yes.
00:46:41I'm excited.
00:46:42I think you're going to like these.
00:46:44Wow.
00:46:48Oh, this is lovely.
00:46:50Oh, it gets lovelier as my eyes find something else to focus on.
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:54Oh.
00:47:05I feel very elevated.
00:47:07I feel very elegant.
00:47:10There's so much custom, beautiful work in here.
00:47:15Let me just take in this island.
00:47:17Oh, my gosh.
00:47:19It's huge.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:20This is a party by itself.
00:47:22I love the extra large pulls on here for all the cabinets.
00:47:28This vent hood is gorgeous.
00:47:30The finishes are definitely popping.
00:47:31The stove, the hardware.
00:47:33They have the pot filler.
00:47:35This is important.
00:47:36Having it just have that beveled edge and then just so that it's fluted glass is just gorgeous.
00:47:41This is the card the team wanted you to read.
00:47:43Comfortable elegance.
00:47:45Light, airy morning room.
00:47:47Perfect for coffee or all-day hangouts.
00:47:50This morning room is gorgeous.
00:47:52The built-ins are amazing.
00:47:54This built-in bookshelf is a winner for Paige Turner.
00:47:57I love that.
00:47:58Added values all around.
00:48:00See the fixtures over the bookshelf?
00:48:02Very, very smart.
00:48:03And this is the thing.
00:48:04With this, because of where they put the light fixture, they can always convert this, even though they have a
00:48:08dining area over there, to another eat-in area if they wanted to.
00:48:12But this is perfect.
00:48:13This is exactly how it should be.
00:48:15And do you like the amount of neutral you're seeing?
00:48:16To me, everything doesn't have to be matchy-matchy anymore.
00:48:20We've come from an era where everything had to match.
00:48:23Now, brass can be tricky.
00:48:24Not everybody loves a bright, shiny brass.
00:48:28And you see, there's even more kitchen.
00:48:33Oh!
00:48:39Wow.
00:48:40There's so much custom work going on in here.
00:48:43Look at this tile.
00:48:45I'm on overload right now.
00:48:47Oh, this is a second full kitchen.
00:48:49I don't know whether to comment on the elegance or all the added value I'm seeing.
00:48:53You have good storage.
00:48:54So much storage.
00:48:55All the way up to the top.
00:48:56I love the floating shelf.
00:48:58I love the color.
00:48:59I love they didn't close it up.
00:49:01So it's open.
00:49:02Everything in here is open.
00:49:03I see what's going on here.
00:49:05Yeah.
00:49:05In here.
00:49:06The morning room.
00:49:07This is such a beautiful open floor plan.
00:49:09And it has enough for everybody.
00:49:11But the designers played it a little too safe with the creativity and the color palette.
00:49:17I feel very grown and sexy in this house.
00:49:20I'm impressed.
00:49:22Let's go check out the next house.
00:49:24Let's go.
00:49:25Let's do it.
00:49:30Okay.
00:49:31Oh!
00:49:32This is different.
00:49:34Should I go this way?
00:49:35Straight ahead.
00:49:35What do you think?
00:49:36Gosh, it's so different.
00:49:51This island is beautiful.
00:49:53Mmm.
00:49:54It really is beautiful.
00:49:55I love they did the waterfall edge here.
00:49:58The veining on it is so pretty.
00:50:00They really nailed it with this.
00:50:02I feel it's very dark.
00:50:04There's some very cool things going on.
00:50:07Mmm.
00:50:08Would you like to read what the...
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:09Let's see the card.
00:50:10So this is smoky sexy.
00:50:12Well, I said when I came in it was dark.
00:50:14I get it now.
00:50:15Yeah.
00:50:15Let's read this.
00:50:15Dark countertops bring the sexy and mirror backsplash brings the smoky.
00:50:201970 inspired fabric and 1920s antique butcher block creates a fun rustic feel.
00:50:26Smoky sexy.
00:50:27Well, okay.
00:50:28I guess this is where we're going with the 70s inspired.
00:50:31The wooden trim.
00:50:32The custom built ins.
00:50:34It's a big custom.
00:50:35Yeah.
00:50:35They do have the added value though.
00:50:37I love that they thought about these windows.
00:50:39And I'd rather have natural light than no natural light.
00:50:42You know, this is the thing.
00:50:43As a real estate broker for a couple of decades now.
00:50:46You know, I always think of the resale and who's going to buy this house.
00:50:50These houses really get sold on rock the block.
00:50:52So this is definitely big family.
00:50:54They took their morning room and turned it into a dining room.
00:50:57Yeah.
00:50:57Well, it's a lot more than a dining room.
00:50:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00It's a booth.
00:51:01It's a restaurant.
00:51:02Somebody could love the space, but not really want the banquette here or this massive.
00:51:08And then what do you do?
00:51:09You're stuck with it.
00:51:09Let's talk about this stove.
00:51:10We have brass, stainless, some chrome going on and this backsplash.
00:51:15The smoke mirror though, that's kind of lovely.
00:51:18We're in Vegas.
00:51:19Right.
00:51:19We're rolling the dice.
00:51:20Yeah.
00:51:20The mirror backsplash is fun.
00:51:22Yeah.
00:51:22So they went with no uppers for their cabinetry and they just have open floating glass shelves
00:51:29with a metal surround.
00:51:31To let the light from the windows in.
00:51:33It's cool.
00:51:33Okay.
00:51:34Yeah.
00:51:34I just don't know how, you know, convenient it would be to have to go.
00:51:40I see where their cabinets are going.
00:51:41Here's your storage.
00:51:47Now I see what they're doing.
00:51:49They left it open in there, but they put all their kitchen in here.
00:51:53I think this really pops.
00:51:54I like it.
00:51:55It's a butcher spot.
00:51:56It's cool.
00:51:56It does give a good contrast in here and it gives a nice pop of color.
00:52:00It's a beautiful color.
00:52:01Yeah.
00:52:01This is really the best view.
00:52:03Standing here and looking this way, it does make it more cozy.
00:52:06It is smoky sexy.
00:52:08All right.
00:52:09Well, what do you say we go check out the next house?
00:52:11I say let's go.
00:52:18So this is the kitchen.
00:52:27Oh, it's beautiful.
00:52:28Oh my.
00:52:31Double islands.
00:52:32You know, I love that.
00:52:33Beautiful waterfall.
00:52:35The veining in here is gorgeous.
00:52:37Oh, the vent hood.
00:52:39It's gorgeous.
00:52:40Look at the curvature here.
00:52:42Yeah.
00:52:42It's so custom.
00:52:44Now, I don't want to contradict myself, but I like this open shelving in here.
00:52:48I love this.
00:52:50Okay.
00:52:50So this is what they call modern hacienda.
00:52:54Hacienda?
00:52:54Mm-hmm.
00:52:55Two kitchens filled with cabinetry and high-end stone countertops.
00:53:01Mm-hmm.
00:53:01Venetian plaster hood and corbels bring old world yet refined hacienda feel.
00:53:06I love the extension of the cabinetry into their eat-in kitchen, breakfast nook.
00:53:14All the way down.
00:53:15All the way down to their coffee machine for their coffee bar and their coffee countertop.
00:53:20Added value there.
00:53:22I think it's gorgeous.
00:53:22They could have extended their plaster overhang there here, right up to the ceiling.
00:53:29Mm-hmm.
00:53:29So that doesn't feel so empty.
00:53:31Yeah.
00:53:31This could be a kitchen with more cabinets than I've ever seen.
00:53:35But they are very specific.
00:53:36Mm-hmm.
00:53:36So a specific buyer will come in here and either like them or say, ah, you know, that might be
00:53:42a toss-up.
00:53:42I believe we've got a second kitchen.
00:53:45Oh!
00:53:46Oh!
00:53:47Yeah.
00:53:51Oh!
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:54Is this another range?
00:53:56Another range.
00:53:57Is this a full second kitchen?
00:53:59Full second kitchen.
00:54:00Is this a fridge though?
00:54:01Second fridge.
00:54:02Mm-hmm.
00:54:03Wow!
00:54:04This is gorgeous.
00:54:05This is another arch.
00:54:06Yeah.
00:54:06They have a bar area.
00:54:07They brought the arch in here to tie it in.
00:54:10All of the gold and brass.
00:54:12It's very Vegas.
00:54:13I love the color.
00:54:15And watch this.
00:54:16We come from the kitchen.
00:54:17Through another arch.
00:54:18A double arch into the dining area.
00:54:21Yeah.
00:54:21That's pretty sick.
00:54:22That's dope.
00:54:23We're checking boxes.
00:54:25This is a massively well-designed and thought-out kitchen.
00:54:30I feel like I'm in a magazine.
00:54:32All right.
00:54:32Should we go check out the last house?
00:54:34The last house already?
00:54:35Let's do it.
00:54:39All right.
00:54:42Whoa!
00:54:43Yeah.
00:54:44Whoa!
00:54:55They get more grown and sexy with each one.
00:54:59Wow.
00:55:02Do we have an arched island with fluted wood?
00:55:06This is a massive island.
00:55:08I love how it curves so you can sit here and see who you're talking to.
00:55:13And so everybody's part of the conversation.
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:16It's a two-tone kitchen.
00:55:17I think they did it well.
00:55:19Yeah.
00:55:19This ladder.
00:55:20You can take it off the track very easily.
00:55:23Put it on the next one.
00:55:23Swap it to that side.
00:55:24So you can have all your seasonal dishes and everything up there.
00:55:27All the way to the ceiling.
00:55:28And if you have to get in, you just move it to the next one.
00:55:31Yeah.
00:55:31Move it.
00:55:31I like it.
00:55:32I love it, actually.
00:55:32I love a good sliding ladder.
00:55:35All right.
00:55:35Should we read the card?
00:55:36Yes, please.
00:55:38Livable Luxe.
00:55:39Modern luxury redefined.
00:55:41Rich materials bring high-end restaurant vibes.
00:55:45This is a very elevated space.
00:55:47I mean, this brass hood is gorgeous.
00:55:50And it goes all the way to the ceiling.
00:55:52Oh, this is beautiful.
00:55:54Look at this.
00:55:55Does it match the fireplace?
00:55:57Indeed it does.
00:55:58And then the mirror and that light fixture all tying in together.
00:56:02That's very luxe.
00:56:04That's very well thought out.
00:56:06That's good symmetry.
00:56:08Ah.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:09They did a brass sink.
00:56:11Good job.
00:56:12Yeah, yeah.
00:56:12That's good.
00:56:13The cooktop range, though, it's so beautiful up here.
00:56:16Yeah.
00:56:16And we have gold trim.
00:56:17We have the gold pot filler, the gold hood vent.
00:56:20And then the rest of the range is missing.
00:56:23There's no oven.
00:56:24Six burners here, and there just should be an oven here.
00:56:28I love the black cabinetry down here.
00:56:30Plenty of storage.
00:56:32Looking back into the morning room, I'm not digging this.
00:56:35There's no cabinetry in there, so I think they missed an opportunity.
00:56:39Even if they put a bookcase on this wall, they could have done that.
00:56:44I love how high this entryway is.
00:56:50Oh, well, there's your range.
00:56:52There's the range.
00:56:53There's your full range.
00:56:55This is a full second kitchen.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:58Sink, vent hood, full range, full-size refrigerator.
00:57:02I love how they did their open floating shelves here.
00:57:05Oh, and there's a pantry.
00:57:06Keeps going.
00:57:07It's huge.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:10Wow.
00:57:10That's a lot of storage.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12They're the only ones that actually created a full pantry.
00:57:16This is luxe.
00:57:17It feels like the restaurant vibe here.
00:57:19This is an upscale, entertaining kitchen.
00:57:22But this is the thing.
00:57:23I don't feel restaurant.
00:57:24I know they set it on their card.
00:57:25Yeah.
00:57:25I don't feel that way.
00:57:26But they did really, really good work in here.
00:57:29So now comes the tough part.
00:57:32You have to figure out which one of these kitchens is going to win on the block.
00:57:38You're leaving me?
00:57:39I'm leaving you.
00:57:40I know I'm leaving it in good hands.
00:57:43Thanks, Ty.
00:57:43Yeah, yeah.
00:57:44You have the easiest job.
00:57:45I'll see you out there when you're ready.
00:57:46All right.
00:57:47I got a lot of thinking to do.
00:57:49Gosh, each house is so different.
00:57:54Here we go.
00:58:03Good evening, everybody.
00:58:04It's the end of another week.
00:58:07Good evening.
00:58:08Here we are.
00:58:09Your kitchens and dining areas have been judged.
00:58:13Dang.
00:58:14And now it's time to find out who the winner of week three is.
00:58:18Today's judge is a house flipping expert and is no stranger to the block.
00:58:23Please welcome Paige Turner.
00:58:30I'm excited because she knows real estate.
00:58:33So she appreciates making choices for a buyer versus appraised value versus budget versus design.
00:58:39So good to have you on the block again.
00:58:40Thank you for having me back.
00:58:42I believe you have something for me.
00:58:43I do.
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:45Very exciting.
00:58:46This envelope contains the names of the winning team in the kitchen and dining room challenge.
00:58:54I have won a kitchen on the block, so I know what I'm looking for, right?
00:58:58You each nailed it.
00:59:00I walked in each of your spaces and they all felt like this is home.
00:59:04So kudos to all four of you.
00:59:06So talk us through your feelings in each house.
00:59:09The first house I went into was comfortable elegance.
00:59:12Whose home was that?
00:59:14Oh, Mina and Vernon.
00:59:16Oh, my gosh.
00:59:18I literally said, Ty, give me the keys.
00:59:20I can move in right now.
00:59:21The oversized island.
00:59:24Your huge oversized vent hood.
00:59:26Your second kitchen.
00:59:28I mean, tell me when to stop.
00:59:30Your morning room, so comfortable, so elegant.
00:59:32Your bookcase.
00:59:33You know, I've done libraries on the block.
00:59:35I'm in love.
00:59:36I'm obsessed.
00:59:37We had some room to dial a little bit more into creativity.
00:59:42Right?
00:59:42And just a little bit.
00:59:43But you guys nailed that.
00:59:45Okay.
00:59:45So the next house I saw, who did smokey sexy?
00:59:49I walked in and I was like, this is sexy.
00:59:52This is creative.
00:59:53The veining on your island countertops, it was just gorgeous.
00:59:57Then I turned around and I'm like, oh, well, there's a mirror.
01:00:00I see me.
01:00:00This is beautiful.
01:00:03And I meant your mirror.
01:00:06Wow.
01:00:06And then I said, well, let's go into the second kitchen.
01:00:09Only to realize it's a kitchen extension.
01:00:13Instead of a second back kitchen area.
01:00:16So that's where I kind of went, hmm.
01:00:18Hmm.
01:00:19But I understood.
01:00:20You know, I understand the creative process.
01:00:22It worked.
01:00:24Thank you, Paige.
01:00:25Okay, so there's only two left.
01:00:27Modern Hacienda.
01:00:29Oh my gosh.
01:00:30It was beautiful.
01:00:32So I'm a double islands girl.
01:00:33So when I walked in, I was like, oh, hmm.
01:00:36I like this.
01:00:37And even your extension of your cabinetry into the morning room to have a coffee bar.
01:00:43So much storage.
01:00:45The one thing I would have done, the plaster that's above, I would have just ran it to the ceiling.
01:00:50That was a huge missed opportunity.
01:00:52The cabinets were definitely buyer specific.
01:00:55Then I got to the back kitchen.
01:00:57And then I turned around and I said, well, what is this?
01:00:59And it was a gorgeous, sexy bar.
01:01:03So now we're talking about added value.
01:01:05We're lucky we got the property pro Paige here.
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:08Knows added value when she sees it.
01:01:10Well, there's another house to get to.
01:01:11Oh, .
01:01:12Uh-oh.
01:01:13Listen.
01:01:14Uh-oh.
01:01:14You're not the only ones on the block.
01:01:17Right, Tanya and Drew.
01:01:18Oh, okay.
01:01:19Let's get into it.
01:01:20I might fall over.
01:01:21I'm gonna hold on.
01:01:21She latches on every time.
01:01:23Every time.
01:01:24Livable Lux.
01:01:25Livable Lux.
01:01:26The grand entrance into your kitchen with a curved island.
01:01:31Oh.
01:01:32I said, my God, this is beautiful.
01:01:34Gold vent hood.
01:01:35But then you had gorgeous cabinetry going up.
01:01:38It was beautiful.
01:01:39And may I add, they also had a ladder.
01:01:42Ooh.
01:01:43A ladder that can get all the way to the top and just adds that little bit of oomph.
01:01:47Let's jump into the morning room.
01:01:49That's where I fell a little flat.
01:01:50I would have loved to see a cabinet.
01:01:52Some form of shelf, something.
01:01:54Then I got to your back kitchen.
01:01:56So, there are only two kitchens that were two full kitchens.
01:02:00You guys were the only ones that closed off that whole space.
01:02:02So, it did shrink your second kitchen.
01:02:04Nonetheless, you still had a full second kitchen.
01:02:07And you guys were the only ones with a true walk-in pantry.
01:02:09Loved it.
01:02:10Very creative.
01:02:11So, kudos for that.
01:02:13Now, before I announce the winner.
01:02:16Remember, if you win, there is $3,000 to be spent on next week's design.
01:02:21Thanks to the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card.
01:02:24Or, put $1,000 towards your final appraisal at the grand finale.
01:02:30Here we go.
01:02:31I love you all.
01:02:32And the winner of the Rock the Block kitchen and dining room area is...
01:02:46Scott and Brooke!
01:02:47Yes!
01:02:48All right!
01:02:52Oh my God!
01:02:54Gave me the value add with your windows, with your double islands, with your appliance
01:02:59package, with your back kitchen that's a full kitchen of two of everything.
01:03:03Kitchen champions!
01:03:04Woo!
01:03:05Woo!
01:03:05We just took down win number two on the block.
01:03:08Now, we're getting dirty looks on the block.
01:03:10Like, it was bad.
01:03:11Now, it's gotten worse.
01:03:12I feel like we're unstoppable now.
01:03:14Yeah, I would say we're rockin' and rollin'.
01:03:17So, are you going to take the $3,000 and use it toward next week's space?
01:03:23Or are you going to take $1,000 and put it toward your final appraisal at the grand finale?
01:03:27Give us $3,000!
01:03:28Give us your money!
01:03:35We are putting our heart and soul into this.
01:03:38Of course, I'm crushed.
01:03:39Now, we have Scott and Brooke who've won two challenges, and we've won zero.
01:03:43So, I want to use defeat as our ammunition to just push ahead.
01:03:48We have to keep going.
01:03:49I mean, I'm sad that we lost the kitchen.
01:03:51I am still winless on the block.
01:03:54Doesn't feel great.
01:03:55So, we just have to just stay focused and follow the plan.
01:03:57Guys, the chips are stacked and the pressure is on.
01:04:00We've got four more weeks till the grand finale.
01:04:03So, get some rest, and we'll see you tomorrow morning!
01:04:08Appreciate it.
01:04:09Bye-bye.
01:04:10Bye, guys.
01:04:14Next time on Rock the Block.
01:04:19This week is the multi-gen suite.
01:04:22I really think we need to pivot here.
01:04:25I hate it with all my heart.
01:04:27Oh, well, just say it.
01:04:28Leave Las Vegas, baby!
01:04:29What a way to arrive!
01:04:31Being judged by your peers is the ultimate vulnerable moment.
01:04:34Dang, I wanted to hate it.
01:04:36I'm very impressed.
01:04:38I think they did a really good job.
01:04:39It's really ugly.
