04:54¡Oh, we will see how much work it needs!
04:58¡Cool, cool property! ¡Oh, wow!
05:00¡Like, how it sits up high! ¡Yeah, I do like it!
05:04¡Oh, yeah!
05:06¡Can't beat this location, I mean!
05:08¡Uh-uh! ¡You can see the water from right down here! ¡Oh, wow!
05:11¡Beautiful! ¡Oh, it is!
05:13¡And I bet it's even prettier from up above! ¡Yeah!
05:16¡Ok, these stairs are interesting! ¡Yeah!
05:19¡And this is a very old retaining wall!
05:23¡The railing would have to be replaced!
05:25¡Kids could play on it!
05:26¡Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of!
05:28¡Yeah, this kind of steep slope here might be an issue!
05:32¡Oh, gosh!
05:32¡This is where you can really see the panoramic view!
05:35¡Oh, yeah! ¡Look at the ferry going by! ¡Lighthouse!
05:38¡And the sun!
05:38¡Should we go in? ¡Yeah!
05:40¡Ok, you want to get it? ¡Let's check it out!
05:42¡Oh, wow! ¡Ok!
05:44¡Oh, my goodness! ¡Look at the view!
05:46¡Amazing view!
05:49¡Ok!
05:50¡Very tight space!
05:52¡Yeah!
05:53¡I think if we put new windows in, that would really make it pop!
05:58¡I think we could set something up!
05:59¡The fireplace is nice because it has the paneling behind it!
06:03¡And then this would have to go!
06:05¡I feel like this would open up the whole space!
06:08¡Mmm!
06:09¡And then you'd come in here and appliances would have to go!
06:14¡You don't like it?
06:15¡No!
06:16¡I'm not a fan of mustard!
06:17¡This actually is vintage!
06:18¡And somebody would probably pay for that!
06:20¡Oh, we could sell that online then, huh?
06:22¡Ok!
06:23¡Ok!
06:23¡And then the cabinets aren't so bad!
06:26¡I would say paint and new hardware!
06:29¡Oh, wow!
06:30¡Ok!
06:31¡Oh, that is some vintage!
06:32¡Yeah, that is awful!
06:33¡Seventies carpet!
06:35¡That would definitely have to go!
06:37¡And then you've got your own little personal deck, which does not look safe!
06:42¡But let's check it out!
06:44¡Ok!
06:44¡Careful out here!
06:45¡Let me try it first!
06:46¡Ok!
06:46¡Might be able to stand here for a little bit!
06:48¡This is...
06:49¡Ok!
06:49¡This definitely needs to be replaced!
06:51¡I don't think you can rebuild this!
06:52¡But look at the view from here!
06:54¡Wow!
06:55¡That's amazing!
06:56¡Oh, my!
06:57Unbelievable!
06:58¡Let's keep going!
06:58¡I wasn't expecting there to be a view from this side of the house!
07:01¡I know!
07:01¡I don't think the pictures really did it justice!
07:03¡Yeah!
07:04¡Let's see what the other room is told!
07:05¡All right, let's check out these other rooms!
07:06¡Ok!
07:07¡Oh, right!
07:08The bathroom!
07:09¡Oh, this is the one bath!
07:10¡Ok!
07:11¡This is pretty tight!
07:12¡Eh!
07:13¡Yeah!
07:14¡It's super tight!
07:15¡It needs a new vanity!
07:17¡New toilet!
07:18¡We're not going to keep the toilet!
07:20¡No, no, no!
07:22¡The tub enclosure and shower enclosure!
07:24¡I think I could bear with it!
07:26¡Maybe with some new fixtures!
07:28¡It would be nice to have another bathroom!
07:30¡Yeah!
07:31¡Ok!
07:32¡This is the other bedroom!
07:33¡So this is a true bedroom!
07:35¡Oh, my!
07:36¡There's a bucket in here and some water damage!
07:39¡Oh, it looks like there's a closet right behind you!
07:41¡Oh!
07:42¡Oh, look at this!
07:43¡Does that closet go into the other room?
07:45¡Oh, the kids would love this!
07:48¡I'm going to let you do that and I'm going to walk around!
07:50¡Ok!
07:51¡Ok!
07:53¡Oh, the view is beautiful!
07:55¡This would clearly be the primary room for us!
07:58And I can imagine laying in bed, TV up here, watching the ferry in the background!
08:04So, three bedroom, one bath, 1,000 square feet, very nice layout, $685,000, that is...
08:12Yeah, at the very top of our budget.
08:14And I feel like there's a lot of work that we have to do.
08:18So, yes, but look at the view.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Goodness.
08:21That view is amazing.
08:22Sun shining on Whipby Island, ferry in the dock.
08:25I mean...
08:26All right, well, we still have a lot to look at, though.
08:28Yes.
08:33The next one we're going to look at is in Everett, and it's Howarth Hangout.
08:40So, it must be very close to Howarth Park, which is a big park.
08:45There's a little beach there as well.
08:47And we've never been there with the kids, have we?
08:50No, I used to go there as a kid and have dinner there at the park benches.
08:54So, yeah, very cool area of Everett.
08:57Okay, well, that one's a $3,200, so we would gain an extra bathroom.
09:03What's the list price?
09:05$525,000.
09:06$525,000, that is well within the budget, so I like that.
09:12Oh, this one's really cute.
09:14Yeah, very nice one outside.
09:15It's got a really good curb appeal.
09:24Huge front yard.
09:26Yep.
09:26No beach anywhere in sight, but probably a five, ten-minute drive.
09:32Yeah, and then that means we could probably take our bikes with the kids, which would be nice.
09:37Yeah, ride bikes.
09:38I think the only thing I would do to the exterior would be paint.
09:43Paint?
09:43You don't like the yellowish green?
09:46Okay, let's see what's inside.
09:47All right.
09:48Oh, wow.
09:49Well, this is a really nice layout.
09:51Yeah.
09:51Hardwood floors.
09:52Do you think these are salvageable?
10:22I feel like they might be.
10:23Oh, it's a bedroom.
10:33Okay.
11:03Now, you can tell.
11:33All right.
12:03Oh, yeah.
12:04This is possibly a garage conversion.
12:36Yeah, I think you're right.
12:40You can tell our budget of $700,000.
13:10The next one is Pigeon Creek Cottage.
13:14It's in Everett, too.
13:16It is four bedrooms.
13:18Oh, a fourth bedroom.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Possibly an office situation or...
13:22Yeah, two bathrooms, 2,152 square feet.
13:28Whoa, it's pretty big.
13:29So that's huge.
13:30And what's the list price?
13:31And the list price is $570,000.
13:35That's pretty good.
13:36Yeah.
13:39Oh, yeah.
13:41Wow, this is pretty.
13:42So this is Pigeon Creek Cottage.
13:45Okay.
13:46Really has great curb appeal.
13:48I feel like I like the color.
13:50The yard is nice.
13:51It's nice that it has grass and this cute little pathway to the front door.
13:55Should we head up?
13:57Sure.
13:57Okay.
13:59Watch your head on a branch.
14:00Oh, yeah.
14:01I'm short enough for all of these.
14:04Okay.
14:06Oh, wow.
14:08This is really big.
14:09Oh, yeah.
14:10Oh, this is a nice living room.
14:12It flows right off of the entryway.
14:14Yeah.
14:15Is this flooring hardwood or what is this?
14:17No, this looks like it's some kind of vinyl.
14:19But it's not bad.
14:21Okay, let's move into the kitchen.
14:23Right in the kitchen.
14:24Oh, and it flows into the dining room.
14:25And this space is huge.
14:27Interesting island.
14:29Haven't seen anything like this before.
14:30No, I haven't.
14:31It's like etched glass.
14:33Not really my style, but cool.
14:36Should we walk back through the entryway?
14:40Back through the entryway.
14:40Okay, so here's the front door.
14:42Okay.
14:42Wow.
14:42I didn't notice this when we walked in, but look at how pretty this ornate woodwork is.
14:48Oh, this is really nice because look at this window at the top of the stairs gives a lot of
14:53light to appear.
14:53Yeah.
14:55Okay, let's see.
14:56What's this first room?
14:57Creaky.
14:58Yeah, I mean, it's definitely an older house.
15:01It is a unique layout to the room.
15:04Well, it goes.
15:04The roof line.
15:05Yeah, it goes with the roof line.
15:07I don't know if this was some water damage or some patching here.
15:10I guess we'd have to look at the age of the roof.
15:13Okay.
15:14We'll see.
15:15Let's move on.
15:16Okay, the next bedroom.
15:18Another bedroom.
15:18And this one is really big, so this makes me think it's the primary.
15:21With the roof line, it seems like it's a little bit cramped.
15:25But they have a large bed, so that's making it feel a little smaller.
15:30Okay, should we move on to this room?
15:33Okay, this is very cute.
15:36It's very tight.
15:37And it's not bad.
15:38I mean, you can fit a little day bed in here.
15:40It would be really tight.
15:42Maybe a little office, little game room or something.
15:45Back into the hallway.
15:46Okay, so this is the bathroom, which is actually really huge, especially for an old house.
15:51The tile, immediately, I feel like I would need to change.
15:56New vanity.
15:57Flooring is the same as downstairs, so you know what I'm going to say there.
16:01Flooring, toilet.
16:02This room's looking pretty expensive.
16:04Okay, should we move back downstairs then?
16:07Sure.
16:10Oh, wow.
16:11This is a really nice deck out here.
16:13Yeah, the deck is really nice.
16:15Oh, my gosh.
16:15Totally redone.
16:16I don't see much wildlife out here.
16:18And I'm not sure how much I like being able to see the neighbors on either side.
16:23Yeah, this is a big space, but it feels real commercial back here.
16:28Okay, so what are you thinking?
16:31A large home, old, needs a lot of work, well below our price point.
16:36Extra bedroom.
16:38Way larger than any other house we looked at.
16:41I feel like the curb appeal of this house is really nice.
16:44Let's not forget about Howarth Hangout.
16:47That had good curb appeal, too.
16:49I feel like it was the traditional look I'm looking for.
16:52And it did have that huge yard, which was amazing.
16:56It did need a lot of work, though.
16:57It did.
16:57It had those very unique rooms.
16:59Yeah.
17:00It had interesting layouts.
17:01I do think we would have to move some walls around there or put walls back.
17:06Okay, what about Lighthouse Getaway?
17:09Love the view and the unique nature of it kind of sitting up on the hill.
17:16Yeah, but actually mentioning that it's up on a hill does bring with it other issues.
17:22Even just the stairs were a bit precarious and hard to climb.
17:27And there did look like there was plenty of work that needed to be done at the home as well.
17:32Yeah, and it was the smallest.
17:34So we really have to decide between whether or not we want the larger home versus being
17:41in a more desirable location with an amazing view.
17:45Yeah, that is going to be tricky.
17:54In our beach house, we were looking for a minimum three bedrooms, close to the beach, hopefully
18:00with a view.
18:01There was really one clear choice.
18:03And that is...
18:05Lighthouse Getaway!
18:07We think Lighthouse Getaway is the best because of the million-dollar views.
18:12I mean, it's a five-minute walk down to the water.
18:16It's just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to basically be on vacation every time you're
18:21at your house, just looking at the water and the views.
18:24The house was listed at $685,000.
18:28We offered $615,000.
18:32And...
18:32It was accepted.
18:34There it is.
18:35We got it.
18:36We got it, yeah.
18:38We finally have the keys today, so we're going to do a walkthrough and go over our long
18:43list of what we'd love to do.
18:45So let's look at the outside because I feel like that's where we've kind of got to start
18:49looking at the rock wall.
18:51Hopefully, we can maintain the structure because I do like it.
18:55Okay.
18:55And then the railing, of course.
18:58You don't like this railing?
19:00I feel like it belongs in a pool.
19:02It is kind of cold.
19:02So front yard, we're going to try to level out, right, and make grass.
19:07We have to paint the whole exterior.
19:10Okay.
19:10And change out the porch so the walkway is stepped down here and you walk into the pathway
19:17down to the front.
19:18Okay.
19:19And then we demo the deck on the side.
19:24Demo on the deck on the side, for sure.
19:25Yeah.
19:26I'd love to make a fire pit area.
19:28Oh, yeah.
19:29Okay.
19:29With gravel and some Adirondack chairs.
19:33Oh, nice.
19:35We're home.
19:37All right.
19:38Can you believe it?
19:39Home sweet home.
19:40I know.
19:40It's finally ours.
19:42Now we've got it.
19:43Let's see.
19:44Okay.
19:44Replace that window without the grid.
19:46New flooring.
19:47Yeah.
19:48It would be great to do some kind of hard surface.
19:51And then I think painting the wood paneling, painting the fireplace, maybe making that an
19:57accent color.
19:58It might stand out more.
20:00Okay.
20:01You know I talked about demoing this.
20:03I would still love to get rid of this because I feel like this blocks the space so much.
20:08Make the kitchen look a lot bigger.
20:09New countertops, new window, new appliances.
20:14Okay.
20:15New sink.
20:16All right.
20:17New fixtures for the sink.
20:19And then flooring?
20:21I think it'd be great if we did hard flooring in it.
20:23We could extend it all the way into the kitchen.
20:26Don't you?
20:26Oh, yeah.
20:27I think big thing for us, though, is the recessed lighting will make a huge difference.
20:31So that should be one of our top priorities.
20:33And then that brings us to the next room.
20:37In the first bedroom, we're going to remove that carpet.
20:41We're going to paint, rip out the closet, and just kind of free up more space.
20:46Laundry room, we're looking at just changing out the floors and painting the cabinets.
20:52Should we go to the bathroom next?
20:55Yes.
20:56So I'm thinking we keep the liner of the bathtub in the shower.
21:01Okay.
21:02Hopefully change out the fixtures.
21:05Yeah.
21:05New vanity, new mirror, and new lighting.
21:09Okay.
21:10Let's move into what I think will be the kids.
21:13The hole in the roof room?
21:14Yeah.
21:15This actually doesn't need much work either.
21:18Paint.
21:18New windows, paint.
21:19Hopefully no water damage, mold damage inside the attic space.
21:24Yeah.
21:24Whatever we choose to do on the flooring, I think I'm going to stick with carpet.
21:28Carpet for just a bedroom.
21:30Just because I think it makes it warmer for the kids.
21:31Cozy.
21:32Okay.
21:32And that's it for this room.
21:34All right.
21:35Okay.
21:36Let's move into the primary, our room.
21:38Okay.
21:39So I think paint, new carpet, new windows, and that's it.
21:45So let's go back into the living room and figure out our plan.
21:48So what do you think?
21:50We got it for $615,000.
21:52Right.
21:52That leaves us about $85,000 to do a lot.
21:56I'm concerned that we're likely not going to have enough money to fit into that budget of $700,000.
22:02Oh, I agree.
22:03It's adding up quickly.
22:04So what do you think about raising the price point?
22:07What are your thoughts?
22:08To what were you thinking?
22:09Maybe $50,000 more?
22:12I think it's realistic.
22:14And I mean, let's be honest.
22:15The view is a million-dollar view.
22:17Yes.
22:18Yes.
22:18So.
22:19But we wouldn't be spending a million dollars.
22:21Right.
22:21Well, usually there's only one chef in the kitchen, and that is Laurel.
22:25She's done a great job with our two previous homes, and I have full trust in her that she's
22:31going to make this an amazing home for our family.
22:33Well, we don't have a general contractor for the job.
22:36I'll be coming up here monthly, if not more than that, to work on the projects with the
22:43subcontractors, project by project.
22:45I'm going to have to let go of some of my control and let them do what they do, and
22:51hopefully,
22:51fingers crossed, when I arrive, it's what I want.
23:02We're just at the start of the reno, so I'm a bit overwhelmed, but the deck is gone now,
23:10and that's going to make way for what I want to do out there.
23:13They demoed the bookshelf that divided the kitchen from the living room, and that kind
23:18of opens up the space.
23:20The window and doors, quite a few of them have already been replaced.
23:23There's too many things to do on my checklist at this point.
23:29There's a lot of electrical work being done in here.
23:32There was that sliding that's going in.
23:34I mean, I just keep looking out at the great view and thinking, okay, I'm getting one thing
23:39checked off my list every time I come.
23:41So today, I'm going to focus on curb appeal outside while the electrician's on the inside
23:46working on the kitchen.
23:47Hi.
23:48Hi.
23:49Got some samples for you.
23:51So what do you think about the blues for the door?
23:54There's a dark one, and then there's the lighter one.
23:58It's kind of light for a door.
24:02I think the darker one probably is a better option.
24:04Yeah, that was kind of what I was leaning towards, too.
24:07And then for the siding, I was thinking gray, because the blues we picked are kind of a
24:12gray-blue.
24:13See what you think.
24:16Yeah.
24:17I do think the dark ones, it's so gray out there.
24:21The lighter one looks the best to me.
24:24Okay.
24:25You're right.
24:26It does get pretty dark here.
24:27Let me show you the dark blue and the lightest gray together, and then that way you can kind
24:33of see them.
24:34With the white trim.
24:36Oh, yeah.
24:37That looks good.
24:38Okay, good.
24:39Decision made.
24:40Now there's just 150 more.
24:43Okay.
24:43I love you.
24:44Bye.
24:45Love you.
24:46Bye.
24:50Hey, Annie.
24:51How are you?
24:52Good, good.
24:53How's it going?
24:54It looks like you've gotten a lot done.
24:55But I wanted to discuss where the chandelier would go.
24:58Okay.
24:59I'm thinking, because the recessed lighting is already here, the chandelier should go right
25:05in the middle of the window, right next to the recessed lighting, so it's parallel to
25:11it.
25:11What do you think?
25:12Yeah, I will do it.
25:13Somewhere right here.
25:14Yeah, perfect.
25:15In the middle of the window.
25:16Yeah.
25:16Okay, perfect.
25:17Thank you.
25:18It's been a long day, but I'm excited to make a few more decisions and get things going.
25:32Okay, well, this is it.
25:33You go in first, Mom.
25:34Oh, wow.
25:35I can see the potential.
25:37Yeah.
25:38Wow.
25:38You have a lot to do here.
25:40I'm hoping to make some progress because I am a little bit overwhelmed today.
25:44I mean, I've got to make these important decisions.
25:47Jared's not here because he's with the kids.
25:49So who better to have than my mom?
25:51You can do this.
25:52I did get your genetics.
25:54Yes, I've done this a lot.
25:56Yeah, you have.
25:57My mom and I think a lot alike, and my sister even jokes that I'm a haircut away from being
26:02my mom.
26:03So I'm thinking she'll just maybe reassure me on my decisions or maybe see something
26:09that I haven't seen.
26:10Okay, so these are what I brought for the kitchen.
26:13I'm thinking like a very, very light gray on the cabinet.
26:18The two grays I picked, they're very similar, but one has more of a cool hue and the other
26:24has a warmer hue.
26:26It is warmer.
26:27Yeah.
26:28So I think I do like the warmer one.
26:30I do too.
26:31I like that style of the gray with a little bit of gold, kind of like what's in my ring
26:35as the hole.
26:37And then I brought some counter samples.
26:40They're both quartz.
26:42This is one of them, which is more gray.
26:45And then this, it just shows a little more of the gold with it.
26:49I like this unifying theme around the gold hardware.
26:53Yeah, that's what I was kind of thinking.
26:54Well, now that you helped me make this decision, let's go look at the carpet that I really need
26:58your help deciding on.
27:00Great.
27:01Okay, so surprise.
27:03Whoa.
27:04What do you think?
27:05I think my grandmother had this.
27:07Oh, all right.
27:09So what I'm thinking for this room, though, I'm going to go with a vinyl.
27:13Good idea.
27:14Just because it's a little more wearable than hardwood.
27:16Yeah.
27:16This is just a really good option for us and is a little less expensive.
27:20So hopefully that will help our budget in the end.
27:23So what do you think?
27:24I'm just curious what color you would pick.
27:27I have the one I like in my head.
27:30I'm really drawn to this one.
27:33Okay.
27:33It brings the inside out and the outside in.
27:37That's a good neutral color.
27:39Well, that's the one I was going to pick, too.
27:41My mom and I do think alike, and I think we made some good progress.
27:45Now I need to have Jared weigh in.
27:56We're back up in Mukilteo for the first time since the landscaping crew started their work.
28:02They've done a lot of hardscaping.
28:04They redid the stairs of our walkway to make it a smoother transition, re-pour the front porch, and then
28:10also change the way even the porch is entered.
28:15We've got all new windows completely redone.
28:20And really the highlight of the yard is going to be the new fire pit rock area that was put
28:25in.
28:25I'm excited to see how everything looks.
28:28Oh, yeah.
28:29It looks good.
28:31Oh, wow.
28:32Yeah, it makes a huge difference.
28:34Just the power washing of the front steps makes it look so much better.
28:38You can actually see what color it was.
28:40That transition up is just so much easier.
28:42Yeah.
28:43Totally flat almost.
28:44And then the pathway, of course, we'll have to put a railing on this side.
28:50They were able to do the stairs to the front of the house just like I wanted.
28:54You know what?
28:55I'm glad we actually sprung the extra money for the non-slick concrete because it's a little bit wet right
29:01now and there's no slipping whatsoever.
29:03Yeah.
29:03It's totally safe.
29:04Yeah, they were really good at recommending that.
29:06Okay, so they also did the fire pit side.
29:08Yeah.
29:09Oh, wow.
29:09Yes.
29:10That looks great, doesn't it?
29:12Oh.
29:12I think we'll be able to fit the fire pit in there and then four Adirondack chairs.
29:17And our back is to the best part of this.
29:19Even at night, you'll be able to see the ferries going by and the lighthouse.
29:23It's very beautiful.
29:24It is.
29:24We still have quite a bit to tackle.
29:26There's a lot of landscaping to be done.
29:29But what I think we ended up with is great.
29:32And we're excited to see what the progress is inside as well.
29:36Oh, wow.
29:38The counters came in and Arlie installed.
29:40Yeah.
29:40Yeah, he put them in last week and they look really good.
29:45Yeah.
29:46And I ended up going with this one because it was more cost effective.
29:49It was about $400 cheaper than the other one.
29:52Oh, I like that.
29:53And I think it still accomplishes everything we wanted.
29:56We went with a quartz counter.
29:58Super easy to clean and really durable.
30:01Well, this is all making me very happy.
30:03You know, I like when it looks nice, but it is not going to break the bank.
30:08Yeah.
30:08As they say.
30:08You're always looking at the bottom line and I'm always looking at what it looks like.
30:13So I feel like the counters look really good with the backslash.
30:17This is like a chevron pattern.
30:19It's a natural stone.
30:20With the gray color that we picked for the cabinetry, it's going to look really good.
30:25Yeah, it looks better.
30:26The lighter gray.
30:27When you told me gray cabinets, I was questioning it big time.
30:33But it's looking better than I thought it was going to look.
30:36I didn't realize how nice of a view there is from the kitchen, even.
30:41Yeah, maybe that'll make you cook more.
30:43I don't think so.
30:54Things are coming along and the crew is working on the porch overhang today.
30:59So that's exciting.
31:00While the crew's working outside, we're going to go take a look at the flooring and decide
31:05what we're going to do.
31:05Yeah.
31:06You know, figure that out.
31:07So we definitely want to go with the LVP flooring.
31:11Like we talked about, living room, entryway, hallway, and then take it into the kitchen
31:18and into the first bedroom with the slider.
31:21We're going to put down all new subfloor in here to match the height of the kitchen.
31:24Okay.
31:24And we're just going to interlock and float it all the way through.
31:27Perfect.
31:28Okay, let's look at the carpet.
31:30We're going to go with carpet in the two bedrooms that share the closets
31:34and linoleum covering the other linoleum in the laundry room.
31:38So it really comes down to style.
31:40You have the diamond and the square.
31:42I mean, don't all ladies lead toward diamonds?
31:45Except the diamond's not more expensive, though.
31:47No, they're all the same price point.
31:49Okay.
31:50If I was picking Arrowhead and then the Timber Ridge, what do you think, Mike?
31:57Arrowhead, for me, is the most neutral option.
32:00Okay, cool.
32:01That'd be great.
32:02That looks good.
32:03I wanted to talk to you guys about some options for the laundry room.
32:06Sheet vinyl or linoleum can be a dirty word, but the technology and the visuals have come
32:10a long way.
32:11So I brought out some great options for you guys today.
32:13Okay, good.
32:13And the beauty of this is one sheet, so if you ever have any water damage or anything
32:18like that, 100% waterproof.
32:21Oh, okay.
32:21Oh, nice.
32:22These have been very popular, kind of the hexagon marble looks, and it really looks like real
32:27stone when it's installed.
32:28Okay.
32:29I think this more with the gray in it, I think kind of goes with what we're looking for.
32:35What do you think, Mike?
32:36I think it's perfect.
32:38Typically, our customers will be between these two products.
32:41I think this is a great color.
32:43That was easy.
32:44Can't wait to get this flooring out of here and get something new.
32:47I can't wait to start.
32:49I think Mike's going to do a tremendous job.
32:51He's been very open and honest throughout the process.
32:54Well, Mike, thanks for coming.
32:56Yeah.
32:56Thanks, Jared.
32:56I really appreciate it.
32:57I feel like if there was one thing that's going to change things other than paint, it
33:01would be the flooring.
33:02So I'm really excited about how it's going to look when it's done.
33:06Major upgrade over the shack carpet in the one room.
33:08Yes.
33:09Yes.
33:20The flooring crew is here, and they're here to tear out that nasty shag carpet and see
33:25if we can get to the subfloor.
33:27I'm really excited.
33:28We're going with the LVP.
33:30We've got kids, dogs.
33:32We're going to have all sorts of people running in and out there, tracking in dirt.
33:35It's durable, waterproof, easy to clean, and it also looks amazing.
33:40So the good news is they were able to just go over the existing linoleum in the kitchen
33:46and bath with the LVP, so that saved us a little bit of money.
33:50Yeah.
33:51Labor costs cut down big time.
33:53So for the trim, we decided to go with a very simple clean line trim.
33:57I think the trim will help us kind of tie in our beach modern look, update the space, and
34:04tie in the paint and the baseboards together.
34:08Yeah.
34:09With the new carpeting in the bedroom, it's just super comfortable.
34:12It's padded.
34:14For the laundry room, we were able to lay the new linoleum right over the old one.
34:19So linoleum, I feel like, has come a long way.
34:21I never thought I'd be okay with it, but I actually love it.
34:26Well, I was really questioning the gray cabinets, but they look great.
34:29I mean, they're more than just growing on me.
34:31I love them.
34:32Really ties in the beach scene, too.
34:33Yeah.
34:38For the outside, we are going with the light gray, and then we're just freshening up the
34:43trim with a bright white.
34:45The paint we chose is very durable.
34:47It's got great curb appeal, holds up to the elements amazing as well.
34:51I feel like by the time we're done, it's going to feel like a new house.
34:54All right.
34:59And we're back in town, Washington.
35:02Yeah, we're here.
35:02The beautiful Pacific Northwest.
35:06Very exciting.
35:08Yes.
35:09The house is coming along great.
35:12Hopefully, it'll be done here soon.
35:16The landscapers are here, clearing out some of the overgrowth.
35:19And they're making way for the new retaining wall.
35:21There was a lot of wasted space in the front yard, so leveling it out just kind of adds a
35:26whole new area for the kids to play.
35:28And with the retaining wall flattening out, it's going to be really safe for everyone.
35:32We can even out the grass a bit and even help with the curb appeal.
35:36The painters are here today, they're painting the fireplace bright white, and they're going to bring my coastal blue accent
35:47wall behind the fireplace to life.
35:51Electrical work is almost done, and I'm super excited.
36:03Well, today's the day that we get to celebrate with our friends, and we're super excited to show them all
36:12the changes that we've made to the house.
36:14We've done a couple little, just finishing touches this morning.
36:18Hey!
36:19So good to see you.
36:21Welcome home.
36:22Yeah.
36:22It's been a long wait.
36:24So my good buddy Davis is coming by today, and he hasn't seen the place yet.
36:28We grew up in this neighborhood, so he knows the area real well, so I'm really excited for him to
36:33check it out.
36:34Can you believe the view?
36:35Not really.
36:36I mean, the pictures just don't do it justice.
36:39They really don't.
36:40They don't.
36:41They're just massive, and this was kind of a slanted, unusable yard.
36:46You couldn't really stand like this right now because it was so sloped down, and then this also, the pathway
36:52sloped down.
36:53The wall is new, too.
36:55That made like a visual difference, like a huge visual difference when you walk.
37:00Yeah, curb appeal wise, I think it just looks a million times better.
37:04And look at the stone path around the corner.
37:07Do you remember from the pictures this deck that was totally dilapidated over here?
37:12Yeah, should we go look at that?
37:13Yeah, let's take a look.
37:14So this is all new, usable yard.
37:16Yeah.
37:16Check it out.
37:17Oh, that's so good.
37:18Captain's chair right there for you.
37:19Yeah.
37:19So you take a look right there.
37:21I mean, sit here and just enjoy that water.
37:25Well, I have to stand to see my view.
37:28Oh, my gosh.
37:29This is perfect.
37:30Yeah.
37:30Isn't it nice?
37:32I mean, it was a deck here before, which was usable, but even from this level, you can still see
37:37as much as you did before.
37:39So that was kind of a nice thing.
37:41And then I knew I wanted a fire pit.
37:43Yeah, I appreciate that.
37:44I know.
37:44You know I like to build a fire.
37:45Oh, welcome.
37:46This guy.
37:46This is going to be a good spot for some fire.
37:48I'm looking forward for you to see the inside.
37:50Yes.
37:51Okay.
37:51Are you ready, Davis?
37:53Yeah, I'm totally ready.
37:53Let's do this.
37:54Oh, this looks so much better.
37:59Doesn't it?
37:59Oh, my gosh.
38:01I can't believe it.
38:03Now.
38:03These windows just give you everything.
38:06Yeah.
38:06I mean, it's hard to believe that really all we did was change out the windows.
38:11Yeah.
38:11And that the grids made such a big difference.
38:13The LVP fluorine, too, which is perfect for the kids.
38:18It's perfect.
38:19Yeah.
38:20Nice manly couch.
38:21Yeah.
38:22Very masculine.
38:23Big couch fits in here.
38:24Yeah, no, it's perfect.
38:25I'm pretty sure Jared didn't pick out this rug because this rug is fire and it's working
38:30with all the colors and I don't think it was him.
38:33He just, again, he was doing his how much is that and how much is that.
38:37Every decision was hers in here.
38:39She turned it from original condition to what you're seeing right now.
38:42Which is pretty much a brand new home.
38:45If you recall, it was just that brown paneling and just regular brick fireplace and now look
38:51at it.
38:51Yeah.
38:51No, the color scheme is way better.
38:53Well, we painted it the bright white so that it pops more and then my favorite, the navy
38:58wall.
38:59I love that.
39:00I want to check out the kitchen.
39:02I can already tell I like it.
39:03It feels much bigger.
39:05Wait, these are actually the original cabinets.
39:07Turned out nice.
39:08Solid.
39:08And we just had them painted.
39:10Really?
39:10Yeah.
39:10Wow, they look new.
39:12I mean, honestly.
39:13Yeah, and the hardware is.
39:15It's amazing what they can do.
39:15I know.
39:16And the hardware, too.
39:17Okay.
39:17Adding the hardware.
39:18They didn't have any hardware before.
39:20And then new quartz counters, which I know you like quartz counters.
39:23And you know I like the herringbone light splash.
39:25I know.
39:26Similar counters to what we have in California.
39:28Yeah, of course.
39:29Yeah.
39:29Almost exactly the same.
39:30Similar, but they're warmer.
39:32Should we move to the laundry room?
39:34Which is maybe one of the biggest rooms in our house.
39:37It's huge.
39:37I know.
39:38What's up with that?
39:38Yeah.
39:39The cabinets, we didn't do much to.
39:41We just painted them and then new hardware to match the same color as the kitchen.
39:47Yeah.
39:47And then the linoleum.
39:48I didn't think that linoleum would come out of my mouth as something I would want to
39:53choose, but I feel like it updates the space a lot.
39:56This looks really, like, expensive, honestly.
39:59Right?
39:59Totally.
39:59It makes it way more modern.
40:01No, it looks so good.
40:02And then should we move into the office slash guest room, where you will be staying?
40:07Okay.
40:07Slash your room.
40:08Slash my room.
40:09I like it.
40:10Anytime you want.
40:11You know I'll be here.
40:12Oh, I can do some work in here.
40:14Oh, I got my fireplace right next to it.
40:16Yeah.
40:17Yeah.
40:17You can go right out.
40:19Ocean view.
40:19I love that.
40:20That's great.
40:21Yeah.
40:22Okay.
40:22So, what was here before, I don't know if you remember, but there was a built-in cabinet
40:29that was kind of like a closet.
40:30We pulled that out.
40:31That sucks up so much space.
40:33It did.
40:33It was such an odd spot.
40:35Then, also, this room had one-of-a-kind orange, green, and yellow shag.
40:43I don't know if the pictures didn't do that justice either.
40:46That's like a timeless classic.
40:48I don't know.
40:49You didn't think about keeping it?
40:50Well, I was thinking of keeping a swatch.
40:53Okay.
40:54I want to see your bedroom.
40:55Yeah.
40:55Let's move to our room.
40:57Wait.
40:57Well, the bathroom's on the way.
40:59This is perfect.
41:00Yeah.
41:00So, what else do you need?
41:02But in here, we just change out the toilet, the vanity, and, you know, new fixtures to
41:10make it fit with that.
41:11I feel like you've got this vibe kind of flowing through the house, too.
41:14I like that.
41:15You know I like gold.
41:15Little touches.
41:16Yeah, she's got the little touches.
41:17Gold touches in there.
41:19Nice, because we were able to, again, run the LVP through here, and they were able to
41:23just put it right over the existing floor in there because it was the same height, so
41:28it worked out.
41:29So, this is our room.
41:32Of course, you have the best view.
41:34Well, we couldn't give it to the kids.
41:37No, I agree.
41:38No, I absolutely agree.
41:39This is perfect.
41:40Oh, my God.
41:41So, main change in here, other than paint, you know, throughout, and putting the carpet
41:45in, we went with kind of a little low pile with a slight design on it.
41:51Very comfortable.
41:52Which is, yeah.
41:52I know.
41:52It's got some nice cush to it.
41:54We took the window out, and they lowered it a bit, so we had a better view.
41:59Watching the sunset and some sports on TV.
42:02It's like, you've got to view the lighthouse from your bedroom.
42:04It's perfect.
42:09Just really excited that the house is done.
42:12We get to spend a lot more time here and seeing our friends and family really enjoy and have
42:17the kids play out on the outside.
42:20Yeah.
42:20Oh!
42:22Let's go, bud!
42:23Good job!
42:23We were expecting to spend $135,000 on the overall job, and it ended up costing about
42:30$160,000.
42:32So, some of the additional costs that ran over were we had to clear out the attic from rodents
42:38and riffraff that were in there, all new insulation throughout, you know, we ended up putting in
42:44all new electrical.
42:45I mean, it's really amazing to come full circle, a place where I grew up, to now be able to
42:50own
42:50a home here and take in that view, just really special.
