00:00:00Previously on Rock the Block...
00:00:01Oh, my God!
00:00:03Things got spicy tackling the hub of the home.
00:00:06The kitchen and dining area!
00:00:09Two teams went all in, chasing their first win of the season.
00:00:13I mean, is it weird if I cry over a hood?
00:00:16While Scott and Brooke's dreamy Vegas designs...
00:00:19We just did all the same.
00:00:21...began looking a little too familiar.
00:00:24I'm starting to second-guess this plan.
00:00:26And Kim and Chelsea took massive risks,
00:00:29chasing that winning feeling.
00:00:31That mirror is sick.
00:00:32Welcome back to the block!
00:00:34Loveter lists it's Paige Turner arrived.
00:00:37Oh, my gosh.
00:00:38It's huge.
00:00:39Yeah.
00:00:39Ready to judge their spaces.
00:00:41Wow, this is gorgeous!
00:00:43But in the end, Scott and Brooke pulled off another victory...
00:00:47...as they won their second challenge in the first three weeks.
00:00:52Tonight, the competition takes a whole new turn...
00:00:55...as our teams create the multi-gen suite.
00:00:58I know how Vernon feels!
00:01:00I hate it with all my heart.
00:01:01I think we need to pivot here.
00:01:03This week's judges, it's you guys!
00:01:07Let's go!
00:01:08Being judged by your peers, it's something that you fear the most.
00:01:11Really cool.
00:01:12Oh, yeah!
00:01:13Hey!
00:01:15Get out of here!
00:01:16We have a fireplace!
00:01:17Look at that tile!
00:01:19I hate that light picture.
00:01:20It's really ugly.
00:01:20I was honestly disappointed.
00:01:35Good morning, teams, and welcome to week four on the block!
00:01:40Woo!
00:01:40There we are, week four.
00:01:42Now let's give a big congratulations to last week's kitchen and dining room winners...
00:01:47Scott!
00:01:48And Brooke!
00:01:49Woo!
00:01:49Yeah!
00:01:51We got the win.
00:01:52We've taken two out of three.
00:01:54I feel like we're unstoppable now.
00:01:55Yeah, I would say we're rocking and rolling.
00:01:58It's getting a little old.
00:02:00So you guys took the $3,000 to use in this week's spaces.
00:02:04That's right.
00:02:05Still feel like you made a good decision?
00:02:07Absolutely.
00:02:07I love more money.
00:02:09So teams, you guys have dazzled with your designs, and now the curtain's up on a brand
00:02:15new challenge.
00:02:16This week is the multi-gen suite!
00:02:20Oh, I've been waiting for this.
00:02:22Man!
00:02:23Here we go.
00:02:23Scott's favorite part.
00:02:25250 square feet of living space, and a bathroom.
00:02:30All walled off from the refs of the house with an entrance off the courtyard.
00:02:35A full living space with lots of opportunities to add value.
00:02:39And for this challenge, you must add a kitchenette in order to make it into a true suite.
00:02:45So teams, you have seven days to complete the multi-gen suite.
00:02:49Don't forget, Wayfair will be supplying your decor and furniture.
00:02:54Are you guys ready?
00:02:55Yes, sir.
00:02:56Well, here we go.
00:02:57Three, two, one, get to work, people!
00:03:01Good luck!
00:03:02Good luck!
00:03:03Good luck!
00:03:04Good luck!
00:03:09March!
00:03:10Week four!
00:03:11This is the one I've been waiting for!
00:03:14I'm excited!
00:03:15You know, this is a really decent size for a mother-in-law suite or an apartment restaurant.
00:03:19Short-term rental.
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:20Let's flex our skills.
00:03:22This is our week.
00:03:23If we don't win this week, it's embarrassing.
00:03:26You do rental properties, I do rental properties.
00:03:29This is my wheelhouse.
00:03:30So, let's take a look at this space, because it's been haunting my brain of what we can do,
00:03:35and figure out how we turn this into the profit maximizer for our property.
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41Whoever's living here is likely here for six months.
00:03:44Right.
00:03:44They're doing, you know, some work in Vegas.
00:03:47Can I point out what I don't like?
00:03:48Yeah, please.
00:03:49Why do we have this little cubby hole that's, like, literally as long as I am?
00:03:53Can we make it wider?
00:03:54Because I feel like I'm in a trailer.
00:03:57Okay, just a second.
00:03:58Hold your horses.
00:04:02I feel like you were waiting for it.
00:04:04I was waiting for it.
00:04:06You were.
00:04:06First thing I would say is...
00:04:08100% make a bedroom.
00:04:10If we're mapping this out, this is what you've got for a living room.
00:04:14That is tiny.
00:04:17Even though it's a tiny space, you still need a fridge, a stove, a sink, and a dishwasher.
00:04:24I know it sounds crazy, but it adds a ton of value to a rental suite.
00:04:27So, dishwasher, sink, in the island, and that frees up this for the fridge and the stove.
00:04:33Yes.
00:04:34That works.
00:04:34I think that's a good idea.
00:04:35That's cute.
00:04:37And now here's our next problem.
00:04:39So, this is the bedroom wall.
00:04:41The door's over there.
00:04:42This becomes part of the bedroom.
00:04:44Okay.
00:04:44We take the bathroom.
00:04:45Oh, yeah.
00:04:46This is going to be a problem.
00:04:47Uh-oh.
00:04:47What?
00:04:48If we move the door over to there, we just have to move the toilet to here.
00:04:53Right.
00:04:54The vanity plumbing over to there.
00:04:56Take the window, put it over here.
00:04:59It's going to be a few thousand bucks to move this around.
00:05:02But it'll be totally worth it because you don't want to see that toilet right away.
00:05:05Okay.
00:05:06So, since we stole from all of our budgets to do the kitchen, we need to figure out how
00:05:13we're going to accomplish this situation.
00:05:15We go for the win with a different approach.
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:17Which is practical.
00:05:19I know it's not always like the sexiest thing, but you know, our budget for this is
00:05:2320,000 bucks.
00:05:25Oh, my God.
00:05:26Easy.
00:05:26Easy.
00:05:26I feel like this is one where we can come in under budget.
00:05:29Yes.
00:05:30The main house is our love.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33If that doesn't work out.
00:05:35This is our red Corvette and our side girlfriend.
00:05:37This is, then you marry the moneymaker.
00:05:40Got it.
00:05:40Main house is for love.
00:05:42Week four, we're doing it for the money.
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:51One of the things to think about is, do we want to create an actual bedroom?
00:05:54And does that matter, A for our design or B for appraised value?
00:05:58Because if we create a bedroom in here with a wall, we have the same end result on an appraisal.
00:06:05This being one big space adds a bedroom to the appraisal.
00:06:09Us cutting this in half and making it a private bedroom adds one bedroom to the appraisal.
00:06:15Although we have a couple losses under our belt, we are not the type to be deterred by that.
00:06:20We're just going to keep our head down.
00:06:22We're going to keep doing our work.
00:06:24Follow the plan.
00:06:26Hopefully, hopefully get our first win.
00:06:30Hopefully.
00:06:31I don't think we should put a wall up.
00:06:33You want to have it nice and open.
00:06:34Like a studio.
00:06:35You had a studio feel.
00:06:36Yeah, yeah.
00:06:37Right?
00:06:37So maybe make this space kind of living room slash bedrooms.
00:06:41Maybe like a structured day bed, a couple occasional chairs.
00:06:45I do think one of the things we're going to want to put money into is making this a kitchen,
00:06:49not a kitchenette.
00:06:50A full kitchen on an appraisal is going to get us significantly more than a kitchenette, which is a mini
00:06:56fridge and a sink.
00:06:56At least a 30-inch sink base, a 24-inch dishwasher, a 30-inch stove.
00:07:01We're going to have to pull around here, which is going to mean getting into these windows and bringing them
00:07:06up above our countertop.
00:07:09Counter height might be more my hip than your hip because you're much shorter than me.
00:07:14It's about, I got boots on.
00:07:16Look, that's like bar height.
00:07:18My hip is counter height.
00:07:19Your hip is bar height.
00:07:21But I think we have all the parts for the value.
00:07:24We've got the full kitchen.
00:07:25Over here, we've got a full bathroom.
00:07:27Yep.
00:07:27That other than making pretty, like we don't have to do a ton.
00:07:32There's no need to change the layout.
00:07:34Finish-wise, what do you think?
00:07:35I think we should just keep it all neutral.
00:07:36I love that.
00:07:38I think that appeals to the most amount of people.
00:07:40I feel like we can be a little bit more budget-friendly in this accessory unit than we have been
00:07:46in the main house and still make it comfortable and still make it elegant.
00:07:50Perfect. Easy peasy. I'm good with that.
00:07:52I feel like designing small spaces is a double-edged sword.
00:07:56On one hand, you just have less decisions to make, but you have to be very thoughtful because you have
00:08:02to make the best use of every single square foot.
00:08:04You know, I would love to put my grandmother in here. Everything's here. You know, the functionality, hits and bids.
00:08:10Stick with the plan.
00:08:11Comfort elegance.
00:08:12Bedrooms, bathrooms. We got it.
00:08:15Where do you think we're going to land budget-wise?
00:08:17I'd say anywhere between $20,000 and $25,000.
00:08:19I think if we can stay under $25,000, that would be a good investment in this space to get
00:08:25us from a bathroom and a kitchenette to a full rental apartment.
00:08:30That makes sense.
00:08:30I feel good about that.
00:08:31I feel good about it, too.
00:08:32Okay.
00:08:35We're getting good at that.
00:08:36We're getting good at that.
00:08:38No pain.
00:08:39No point.
00:08:39No fear.
00:08:40No fame.
00:08:41No story.
00:08:42Welcome to the show.
00:08:44Welcome to the end of the road.
00:08:45You want to win it all?
00:08:47Better be ready to go.
00:08:51Okay, so what the heck are we going to do in here now?
00:08:54What do you think?
00:08:54Point take.
00:08:55You're a big family guy.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:57I'm a big family person.
00:08:58I love having family over and I feel like it'd be nice for them to have their own space.
00:09:04Like a guest house-ish.
00:09:06In-law suite.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:09We've got this multi-gen suite.
00:09:11We want it to feel special and unique but also a place where anyone from the age of 2 to
00:09:17100 would want to stay.
00:09:18What if it's a baby?
00:09:20Babies don't want to stay there?
00:09:21No.
00:09:21Two days?
00:09:23I mean...
00:09:23All right, so we get a little kitchenette over here.
00:09:26Okay.
00:09:26We can do like a little cooktop, a microwave, a small fridge.
00:09:29Yeah.
00:09:29Just tiny little things.
00:09:31If we did some sort of island or peninsula here.
00:09:34Yeah.
00:09:34We can do a couple stools on the other side.
00:09:36And then a bed as the centerpiece of the room for the ultimate studio vibe.
00:09:43This is going to be the bad mamma jamma right here.
00:09:45I love the tall ceiling heights, but the tall ceiling heights add money to the budget.
00:09:50Because I don't love when I see tiles stop.
00:09:52And it ends.
00:09:53Yeah.
00:09:53I agree.
00:09:54So we figure out some sort of tile.
00:09:56Get a nice, really cute vanity.
00:09:59And we do want to go for that hotel luxe.
00:10:02Yes.
00:10:02Vibe here.
00:10:03So now it's like livable hotel luxe.
00:10:05So we have about maybe $10,000 to $15,000, which is not a lot of money, I know, but...
00:10:12Closer to $10,000, please.
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:14We spent the majority of our budget in the first three weeks, and we have zero wins to show for
00:10:19it.
00:10:19So I think for us, we really have to figure out a way to get creative and stretch the dollar
00:10:25because we have a lot of space that we still have to do and not a whole lot of budget
00:10:29left to do it with.
00:10:29I want to prove to everybody that we can bring it on a low budget but really amp up the
00:10:37finishes and make it feel super homey, comfortable, moody, all the things.
00:10:43Show them how it's done.
00:10:44Let's get it.
00:10:45We got it.
00:10:46We got this.
00:10:52For some reason, this room throws me off the whole time.
00:10:56I've kind of been like not wanting to get here, but here we are.
00:10:58The obvious thing to do here to add value is to make this, you know, where someone could rent it
00:11:06out or...
00:11:07Mm-hmm.
00:11:08I buy a $3 million house.
00:11:10I am not having a short-term rental in the front of my home.
00:11:14That makes sense.
00:11:15What is it that we're missing in the house that's here that it's like, oh, let's go to this room
00:11:20and...
00:11:22Do the thing that we do?
00:11:23Do the thing.
00:11:25Do the thing.
00:11:25Not the thing.
00:11:26Well, I do love the idea of like a tucked away space where you could really put on like a
00:11:31real movie.
00:11:32Like an entertainment movie room.
00:11:35Yeah.
00:11:35Are you thinking like making it feel like a theater?
00:11:38I mean, I wasn't, but I can.
00:11:41I'm now getting excited about the multi-gen scene.
00:11:43Good.
00:11:44I knew it was going to come around.
00:11:46Okay.
00:11:47Okay, so how would we lay this out?
00:11:48It's a tight room.
00:11:49How would we do this?
00:11:50Get rid of this box.
00:11:52And that gives us this place to like do the big screen.
00:11:55You know, and still give a door that'll connect to the house right here.
00:11:59We could put this door here to the courtyard.
00:12:02And now we have this full wall for our kitchenette.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:05Shag carpet.
00:12:07Yay, I get my shag carpet.
00:12:09Drapes.
00:12:10Yeah.
00:12:12So are you saying like festoon it?
00:12:14Yeah.
00:12:14Like a circus tent?
00:12:15That is very big.
00:12:16But not do like red and white fabric, but...
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:20But circus, circus.
00:12:21Theater it out.
00:12:23Sure.
00:12:24What I love is that it does have a bathroom.
00:12:26You're not having to walk through the whole house to find the bathroom.
00:12:29So let's take a look and see what we've got available in here.
00:12:33I feel like there's an opportunity here to just like make this feel sick.
00:12:36Do something funky and cool.
00:12:37Yeah.
00:12:37Bring in the smoky sexy in here, right?
00:12:40Cool wallpaper.
00:12:41Cool tile.
00:12:42Sure.
00:12:42Cool sink.
00:12:43Call it a day.
00:12:44Totally.
00:12:45I feel like this is not like a space that we're wanting to blow our budget on.
00:12:49There's no need to do that.
00:12:50Do it for like what?
00:12:5210, 15 K.
00:12:53Use your calculator and...
00:12:55Yes, we can do it for 15.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:57Let's do it.
00:12:58Okay.
00:12:58This is good.
00:12:59This is a plan.
00:13:00I like it.
00:13:00Me too.
00:13:01Can't get it back into the house.
00:13:02We have to go this way.
00:13:02Oh.
00:13:03That's going to change.
00:13:04We're changing.
00:13:05I wonder if we're the only ones doing that smart move.
00:13:07I hope so.
00:13:08I think it's really smart.
00:13:21Holy Toledo.
00:13:22We want to get everything moved.
00:13:24We're cutting out for the new window.
00:13:25Want to move the window over.
00:13:26We're excited.
00:13:27We're working fast.
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:29I'm going to move this guy over.
00:13:30What?
00:13:31Oh, my God.
00:13:32Scott.
00:13:32Ah.
00:13:33What?
00:13:34Oh, my God.
00:13:36Oh, my God.
00:13:37Scott.
00:13:37Hold on to this.
00:13:38Hold on to this.
00:13:39Hold on to what?
00:13:41Frickin' water's on.
00:13:42Ah!
00:13:45Brooke.
00:13:46Hold it.
00:13:48Jeez.
00:13:49Look out.
00:13:50Look out.
00:13:51Oh, my God.
00:13:54Where's the water shut off?
00:14:01Ian!
00:14:02What the hell happened?
00:14:04Hold up.
00:14:05Hold up.
00:14:06Hold up.
00:14:07Water.
00:14:08Water is on.
00:14:11Water is on.
00:14:13Water is on.
00:14:14I don't trust you.
00:14:15I know I'm going to have to run.
00:14:17There's still going to be water in here.
00:14:19Really?
00:14:19No, I just turn it off.
00:14:20It's fine.
00:14:21It's done.
00:14:21Yeah.
00:14:21I don't trust you.
00:14:23I don't trust you.
00:14:23Oh, my God.
00:14:25It's all in my boobs.
00:14:27So, my boss, who is awesome at everything, didn't know that the water was still on.
00:14:33And he cut a water line.
00:14:34To be fair, the main was off, but the multi-gen is on a separate meter.
00:14:40So, what exactly are we going to do?
00:14:42Like, does this create mold or something now?
00:14:45Swampy drywall is no good.
00:14:47Oh, my gosh.
00:14:47Just for good measure, I'm going to pull all the drywall off so we don't get any mold.
00:14:51It's a little bit of extra work.
00:14:52It's a little bit of extra time, but...
00:14:54Any extra money?
00:14:55It's going to cost us a couple hundred bucks to replace some wet drywall and insulation.
00:14:59Probably not the best start when we're trying to pinch pennies here.
00:15:02When you try to do things fast, sometimes it costs a little more money.
00:15:07Okay, we're going to let this dry out for the night, and then we'll re-tackle it tomorrow.
00:15:15I'm going to take a nap.
00:15:22You take the lead off.
00:15:23Oh, gosh.
00:15:24I love that Paige got our creativity last week.
00:15:27I walked in, and I was like, this is sexy.
00:15:29This is creative.
00:15:31But we really need another Paige this week because this is going to be, quite possibly,
00:15:36the most creative space in the whole house.
00:15:39I want to set the scene here to, like, when you walk in the door, you know it's a movie
00:15:44room.
00:15:44Right. Love that.
00:15:45I say we just drape this everywhere.
00:15:49To festoon or not to festoon?
00:15:53That's the question.
00:15:54That is the question.
00:15:54And we have decided to festoon.
00:15:57You're going to have to start somewhere.
00:15:59Right.
00:16:01Not only can I not see what Chelsea has in mind, I'm very concerned about the execution of it.
00:16:07She doesn't trust my judgment.
00:16:09It's not that.
00:16:10I just, I can't imagine how we're going to do this and make it look good.
00:16:13Like, if we had a professional festooner on board, I would feel better.
00:16:17But this is, this is a risky choice.
00:16:20If you're going to go all in, go all in.
00:16:23Like, let's do it on the ceiling, the walls, everywhere.
00:16:26Double down.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:27It's going to be awesome.
00:16:30That's good, that's good.
00:16:31Okay, okay, okay.
00:16:32Funky.
00:16:33Not necessarily smoky sexy.
00:16:35I think it's kind of sexy.
00:16:37I think draping fabric all over the walls and ceiling does feel sexy to me.
00:16:42I'm ready for wallpaper.
00:16:44Come on now.
00:16:46Well, I thought, when I said let's elevate the design, I mean, you took it a little too
00:16:50seriously.
00:16:51I know how Vernon feels.
00:16:53How great does that feel?
00:16:54It's wallpaper day.
00:16:57Somebody here loves wallpaper.
00:17:01We need to get your long pants and then no one would ever know.
00:17:05I do.
00:17:06Hey!
00:17:07Hey!
00:17:08What's up, buddy?
00:17:09We're just trying to elevate the design in here as well.
00:17:11Yeah, you guys are levitating.
00:17:13I am.
00:17:14It's good.
00:17:15Ty, our entire house is wallpapered.
00:17:18Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:19Like, it's real subtle.
00:17:21It's, yeah, because we-
00:17:22I mean, from a distance, you won't even be able to see that there's a pattern there.
00:17:25We don't want to be distracting.
00:17:26Like, everything about our space is about texture and movement.
00:17:30What do you guys feel about the other teams?
00:17:32Like, who is your, you know what I mean?
00:17:34Like, you gotta size up your opponents.
00:17:36Like, who do you need to not down?
00:17:38Everybody knows what Scott and Kim and Mina do.
00:17:42I mean, we've been watching it on TV for years.
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:45The wild card is what Brooke, Chelsea, and Vernon do.
00:17:48Bottom line is, you guys are good at what you do.
00:17:51You seem to be working well together.
00:17:54And we just love having you here on the block.
00:17:55So, good luck.
00:17:56Keep it going.
00:17:57And I'll see you out there.
00:17:58Thanks, Ty.
00:17:59Appreciate it, Ty.
00:18:01Mina, this is a really nice choice for just a rental.
00:18:04I mean, we're giving them something really classy here.
00:18:07Yeah, well, I mean, we want to make sure it kind of fits with, like, the vibe of the rest
00:18:11of the house.
00:18:12Yeah.
00:18:13And is it, like, we could probably get away with lower end, but if it was someone who is going
00:18:18to use this for another family member.
00:18:20Yeah.
00:18:21And not as a rental, like, you wouldn't, you would never skimp on your grandma.
00:18:26You'd be like, you get the best tile and the best cabinets.
00:18:29His grandma is his ride or die.
00:18:32So, I could see him being in a home like this and, you know, her still wanting her own space,
00:18:35but being able to be right there.
00:18:37She's, like, the most important thing in the world to him.
00:18:40I think it's going to look really dramatic once we finish, but it's also going to look super elegant, and
00:18:45it's going to feel like it's truly different.
00:18:49It separates itself from anything, any other bathroom.
00:18:53Mm-hmm.
00:18:53I hope so.
00:18:54You want to put up like these two?
00:18:56Yeah, let me do it.
00:18:57Get your hands dirty.
00:18:58Let me get dirty.
00:18:58Mine are dirty now.
00:18:59Yeah.
00:19:00I'm very nervous about letting Vernon down, and I want to be mindful to make sure that he feels like
00:19:06he has skin in the game,
00:19:07so he feels included, but also, so if we don't win, it's just not completely my fault.
00:19:12I would like to share the blame with Vernon if we don't win.
00:19:15It's weird.
00:19:17It doesn't match anything.
00:19:18We have a problem.
00:19:19This is not looking awesome.
00:19:21This is your next design surprise.
00:19:24Oh!
00:19:25Oh!
00:19:26Very traumatic.
00:19:28Very traumatic.
00:19:30Okay, so how exactly do these go together?
00:19:33Well, how do you normally deal with your exes?
00:19:36I break them.
00:19:39We are planning on doing something pretty much insane, something I've never done before, which is cover the entire bathroom
00:19:47with this tile.
00:19:48But it's not going to look like somewhere where like a fast food bathroom?
00:19:52It's either going to be the best thing the judges have ever seen, or the worst thing.
00:19:58Or the worst thing.
00:19:59It's going to look like a funky income property.
00:20:02Oh, God, I hope you're right.
00:20:03Because doing it everywhere, like that much of it, is a little intense.
00:20:07I was nervous about the tile, but then thinking back to Nashville, people sometimes like a little crazy.
00:20:12So we went a little crazy.
00:20:15I'm really banking on the appraisers coming through and seeing the value of having an income suite here and also
00:20:22understanding that there aren't a lot of premium rental properties.
00:20:27If there's a certain expectation in Vegas, we need to exceed it.
00:20:31Yes, our main home is Modern Hacienda, but this one here...
00:20:35This is Modern Crazy Cachienda.
00:20:39Cachienda!
00:20:40Oh, my God!
00:20:41I can't see any of our competitors putting this much effort into the quality of the work.
00:20:47I don't think anybody has a professional like you.
00:20:49Don't underestimate our competition.
00:20:51That's true.
00:20:52Way prettier than I thought it was going to be.
00:20:56So if we do the bed over there, then maybe we'd make this sort of like a living room-ish
00:21:00area?
00:21:01Yeah, a sitting area.
00:21:02I mean, we have so much of that tambour.
00:21:04It brings instant warmth.
00:21:06Mm-hmm.
00:21:06You know, I feel like it also makes it cohesive with the rest of the house.
00:21:10Maybe we just turn at the angle, change it up.
00:21:13Horizontal?
00:21:13I mean, horizontal is cool.
00:21:14And we can frame around the whole perimeter and we can put light running through tape light.
00:21:20Okay.
00:21:20That is going to make it look so high-end.
00:21:23We're in Las Vegas.
00:21:24I want to make sure that we bring the Vegas charm, but not tacky, not wild and crazy.
00:21:30Just something that's livable.
00:21:32I think it would be a great moment.
00:21:33Love it.
00:21:34And also, we don't have to keep it wood.
00:21:37We can put it up as wood.
00:21:38But we have this throughout.
00:21:40I know.
00:21:41Well, I don't know what it is.
00:21:42We're going to paint wood.
00:21:44Men and painting wood is such a problem.
00:21:46I don't understand why.
00:21:47Look how beautiful it is.
00:21:48I know we have it out throughout the house.
00:21:50I can't.
00:21:52I'll leave you and your wood alone.
00:21:54We can have a moment together.
00:21:55You smell so good.
00:21:56Get a room.
00:21:58Have you ever seen one of these?
00:22:00No, but this is the coolest thing.
00:22:02It is cool.
00:22:03And I can't wait to see how this works.
00:22:05I am so, so obsessed with this invisible cooktop for this space in particular because it kind
00:22:12of preserves our vintage movie theater vibes and that this space could be anything if somebody
00:22:17wanted to use it as a guest suite.
00:22:19It just heats up through induction through your standard countertop.
00:22:23So you'll sit the pot directly on the countertop.
00:22:25It uses induction heating and cooks through this surface.
00:22:28Part of what I love about this is I feel like we focused more on the flex of this.
00:22:35Like this is an example of we still have a full kitchenette.
00:22:38I'm sure they do too.
00:22:40I feel like a lot of the teams are going to stage this as a guest suite.
00:22:43This can easily be a guest suite, but by like connecting it to the house, simple touch
00:22:48like this, not focusing so much on closet space.
00:22:50I do think this makes this more malleable to like whatever the buyer wants it to be.
00:23:10So we're walking up to the block and it looks like they have some sort of wedding set up.
00:23:15And I'm wondering if they're going to hitch us for life.
00:23:19Wow.
00:23:21What could it be?
00:23:27Wow.
00:23:28Okay.
00:23:29This is a lot and I don't want more.
00:23:32Oh my God.
00:23:33Oh my God.
00:23:36Oh my God.
00:23:38Yes.
00:23:39Elvis.
00:23:41Thanks for the ride.
00:23:43Thank you very much.
00:23:44Ty driving up with Elvis.
00:23:47It's epic.
00:23:48In a pink Cadillac.
00:23:49Viva Las Vegas.
00:23:50What more could you ask for?
00:23:52That's like the trifecta.
00:23:53It's the tyfecta.
00:23:57Hello teams.
00:23:59What a way to arrive.
00:24:01That is so cute.
00:24:03Did you know that Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world?
00:24:09For that reason, I thought we'd say yes to your next design surprise.
00:24:13Oh no.
00:24:15I'm sure you've all, you know, heard the saying, when you get married, you must have something old, something new,
00:24:21something borrowed, and something blue.
00:24:25Blue.
00:24:26That's right.
00:24:28Am I the old?
00:24:29And the blue.
00:24:31Each team will choose one of the four ropes and ring the corresponding wedding bell, at which time a banner
00:24:39will reveal a category, old, new, borrowed, or blue.
00:24:44So if you get blue, you and your teammate will choose two items from the blue pew to use in
00:24:50your multi-gen suite design.
00:24:52You must use both items.
00:24:55If you get old or new, same deal.
00:24:57We're definitely hoping to get old because we like this idea of incorporating an old thing into each space and
00:25:04we don't have anything old for the multi-gen, so we feel like that would be a good choice for
00:25:07us.
00:25:08You will only have 45 seconds to ring the bell.
00:25:11Find your pew and choose your two items.
00:25:15If you get borrowed, this is where it gets fun.
00:25:19Yep, you can steal an item from your fellow teams if they have something you want.
00:25:23What?
00:25:24I would take from Scott.
00:25:25I would feel bad taking from any of the other teams.
00:25:27I would not feel bad taking from Scott.
00:25:29Me neither.
00:25:31All right, teams.
00:25:32So we drew numbers.
00:25:33Me and Vernon, you guys drew one, so you go first.
00:25:36Come on, guys.
00:25:37Are you ready?
00:25:38Ready.
00:25:40Three, two, one, go!
00:25:45Oh!
00:25:46You guys got borrowed!
00:25:47Ew!
00:25:48Come on!
00:25:50Don't be a hater!
00:25:51Voila, we get borrowed.
00:25:53Wow, borrowed right off the bat.
00:25:55Nice.
00:25:55That was a good one.
00:25:56Which is a great position to be in.
00:25:58We can have whatever we want.
00:26:00Me and Vernon, you can borrow your items at the end after the other three teams have gone.
00:26:05Scott and Brooke, you're next.
00:26:07All right, here we go.
00:26:08Three, two, one, go!
00:26:10Give it up!
00:26:13Red!
00:26:13Red, okay.
00:26:15Oh, my God, Scott!
00:26:17Very traumatic.
00:26:18Very traumatic.
00:26:19All I see is red, and I was like a bull.
00:26:21I was just like, boom!
00:26:22It worked!
00:26:23We'll take whatever these are.
00:26:24You get two things!
00:26:26Two things!
00:26:26That's a matching set.
00:26:27Wow!
00:26:28First thing I saw were these big, beautiful...
00:26:33Balls.
00:26:34Balls.
00:26:36Oh, my God, I had to grab them.
00:26:38One!
00:26:39Time's up!
00:26:39I'm marrying somebody with a lot of plastic surgery.
00:26:42I think that brass faucet is going to give us a competitive edge because that's a save for us.
00:26:46We were going to have to spend a couple hundred bucks on a faucet so we can invest that money
00:26:51somewhere else.
00:26:52These, this is...
00:26:54It's a velvet ottoman bench.
00:26:56We were pretty smart with picking something that might actually add value.
00:27:00That's right.
00:27:00All right, Kim and Chelsea, are you ready?
00:27:02Yes, sir.
00:27:03We're ready.
00:27:03Three, two, one, go!
00:27:06All right!
00:27:08Old or blue?
00:27:08Old or blue?
00:27:09You want blue?
00:27:10Oh, man.
00:27:10Of course.
00:27:11Old, old, old, old!
00:27:13What do we got here?
00:27:14Oh!
00:27:15Okay, okay.
00:27:16Okay, calm, cool, and collected.
00:27:18That's amazing.
00:27:18Do we want that instead or do we like ours?
00:27:20The Tiffany lamp's kind of cool.
00:27:22Let's take our time and like really think this through.
00:27:26That and...
00:27:27Yeah.
00:27:28Yes.
00:27:28All right!
00:27:29We've got some items here.
00:27:31All right.
00:27:31You have that light touch.
00:27:32Okay.
00:27:33Double fist in the lighting.
00:27:34Nice.
00:27:35We very badly needed like a chandelier upgrade for our festooning tent situation and this was
00:27:42absolutely the icing on the cake.
00:27:44Yeah.
00:27:44And I found a really cool lamp that has a little shimmy to it.
00:27:48I feel like it gives moody movie theater vibes.
00:27:52Swag.
00:27:52Next up, we've got Tanya and Drew.
00:27:55I got a funny feeling you're getting something blue.
00:28:01Three, two, one, go!
00:28:04What's it gonna be?
00:28:05What's it gonna be?
00:28:07Oh!
00:28:07Yay!
00:28:09Oh!
00:28:09Shocking.
00:28:10Second.
00:28:11Okay, all right.
00:28:12Okay.
00:28:12I don't even know how to incorporate blue into the designs.
00:28:16What is this?
00:28:16Flooring tile.
00:28:17Tile.
00:28:18Don't do tile.
00:28:19Don't do tile.
00:28:20For us, I think the biggest challenge is just incorporating it somehow.
00:28:24Uh...
00:28:25Son of a bench!
00:28:27Four, three, two, one.
00:28:30Done!
00:28:31Oh my gosh!
00:28:33Wow!
00:28:34That's so bad!
00:28:35Tell us what you picked!
00:28:36We've got this fine bench and these gorgeous cobalt blue vessels.
00:28:41Okay, so, Mina and Vernon, you have 45 seconds to pick from basically everything.
00:28:47Wow.
00:28:47Including the things that the other teams are holding.
00:28:49So much good stuff.
00:28:50Okay.
00:28:51But you can only leave with two items.
00:28:53Okay.
00:28:53We're kind of surprised by the other teams leaving what seems to be all the good items behind for us
00:29:00to pick from.
00:29:01But that being said, I still don't think we know exactly what we want.
00:29:04Mm-hmm.
00:29:05Three, two, one, go!
00:29:07I feel like I like...
00:29:09This is decent decor.
00:29:11We could use a couple tables.
00:29:13What's this?
00:29:15The chains.
00:29:16If you break it, you bought it.
00:29:17I would have stolen the swishy lamp.
00:29:21I like your guys' lamp, but I like you, so I'm not going to take it.
00:29:24It wasn't something I wanted so bad.
00:29:27I'd like to lean to their good side because they're a little scary.
00:29:29Fifteen seconds.
00:29:31Uh, what is this?
00:29:31A spotlight?
00:29:32I'm going.
00:29:32You have this.
00:29:35That is a little basic.
00:29:36Two bucks?
00:29:37Yeah, get it.
00:29:38Three, two, one.
00:29:41And that's it.
00:29:42Whoa!
00:29:43Got the jukebox.
00:29:44The space we're working on this week, and it doesn't scream Vegas, but we're in Vegas, and part of the
00:29:49design is incorporating these things, so let's have fun. Let's do a jukebox.
00:29:54Designers, I do think that was pretty fun.
00:29:57And now it's time to turn these pieces of Vegas flair into something that lasts a lifetime.
00:30:02How you integrate these items into your multi-gen suites will be a part of the judging criteria at the
00:30:09end of the week, so get creative.
00:30:11Good luck.
00:30:12Thank you, Ty.
00:30:13All right.
00:30:13Can't wait to see what you do with the item.
00:30:15Enjoy.
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:17That's blue.
00:30:17The ceremony worked out pretty good for us.
00:30:20I'm ready for the reception, baby.
00:30:22But it's all gonna come down to the honeymoon.
00:30:35It looks big, but I think it's just the framing.
00:30:37Oh, please, dear Lord, let it fit.
00:30:40Are you okay today?
00:30:41No, I stayed up so late here at the house.
00:30:44When I'm tired, I'm loopy.
00:30:45Oh, so I'm gonna get the weird, as opposed to the regular version that I normally have that's totally sane.
00:30:51Correct.
00:30:51Amazing.
00:30:53Slide your side in.
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:54We have $3,000 from last week's win.
00:30:58The best thing we can do is add another amenity.
00:31:01Adding a fireplace just is another check mark for a buyer, for a renter, and for added value to our
00:31:08space.
00:31:09Oh, look, and it's on with a styrofoam in it.
00:31:12We're gonna have a fire!
00:31:13Oh, my gosh.
00:31:14It looks so good, though.
00:31:16I think it's a good idea to have an electric fireplace because it makes it feel like there is another
00:31:22element that's worth something.
00:31:24Well, let's be realistic.
00:31:26This is being built as an independent income suite.
00:31:28It can also be a guest suite, if you want to keep it that way.
00:31:31But it's a fully self-contained apartment, and I want it to feel cozy.
00:31:39So, the festooning has officially crossed over from bold design choice to please send help.
00:31:46So, thankfully, help came to the rescue.
00:31:49Perfect.
00:31:50The TV is mounted.
00:31:52It looks great.
00:31:53Man.
00:31:54I feel like we've really lucked out in these challenges.
00:31:57When we pulled old, which is exactly what we wanted, we got cool lighting, a cool lamp.
00:32:03Ha!
00:32:05What if I dropped it and it all broke?
00:32:07Oh, my God!
00:32:07Don't even say that!
00:32:08Wouldn't be a funny joke anymore, would it?
00:32:11No!
00:32:11I also, too, think that lighting adds value more than the little tchotchka stuff you can set on a desk
00:32:18or a nightstand.
00:32:20Lights, camera, action!
00:32:21That's that one.
00:32:22It's cute.
00:32:23It's glowy.
00:32:24It's good.
00:32:25It's very, like, vintage theater vibes.
00:32:28Perfect mood light.
00:32:28I love it.
00:32:29I do, too.
00:32:32I do like that we didn't pull the cabinets all the way around.
00:32:35I mean, it was partially a budget thing.
00:32:38Once this becomes a real kitchen, this isn't just extra space anymore.
00:32:41It becomes a fully functional studio apartment.
00:32:45We've got a full kitchen.
00:32:46We've got the bathroom.
00:32:48Appraisers don't guess.
00:32:49They check boxes and we're checking all of them.
00:32:52So, we'll have floating shelves all right here.
00:32:54So, where this first laser line is.
00:32:56Floating shelves.
00:32:57Okay.
00:32:57So, the first one will come right around at this level.
00:32:59The second one's about here.
00:33:01And then we have one that goes all the way across the top of the windows.
00:33:04Floating shelves do two things.
00:33:06Knocking out some of the uppers, we save a little bit of money.
00:33:08And then the floating shelves gives us a design opportunity to make some things pretty
00:33:13and make it feel a little bit lighter visually.
00:33:16What was your first apartment like?
00:33:18I mean, I went from the dorms to a seven-bedroom, like, moldy house in Bloomington.
00:33:23And then straight to my first house I bought.
00:33:26So, fun fact, I've literally never in my entire life lived by myself. Ever.
00:33:32You said you never lived by yourself.
00:33:34Did you know a funny fact about me?
00:33:37I never washed my own clothes.
00:33:39You've never washed your own clothes?
00:33:41Your grandma.
00:33:42Oh, my goodness.
00:33:43When I was in college, I used to take them home to her so she could wash them.
00:33:46Go back and pick them up.
00:33:47The shame.
00:33:48The shame.
00:33:49Yep.
00:33:50Do you have someone that washes them now?
00:33:52Yeah, I got a housekeeper.
00:33:53You fancy.
00:33:55All right, let's go cut our other couple guys and we'll get these ones installed.
00:33:59All right, here you go.
00:34:02You know, the multi-gen suite was going to be an area where we tried to pull back the budget.
00:34:06So, I'm going to do the tile ourselves.
00:34:08We're saving a lot of money there on installation.
00:34:10Plus, we're able to use the same tile we used in our primary suite.
00:34:14So, it's a win-win.
00:34:16Savings everywhere.
00:34:18Drew!
00:34:20I really think we need to pivot here.
00:34:25From this?
00:34:31Neutral is probably not going to get us a win.
00:34:33I think we have to push the envelope.
00:34:35Tani comes in with a little bit of a, let's call it a wrinkle.
00:34:39A wrinkle?
00:34:40A wrinkle?
00:34:40I'm right here, Drew.
00:34:41A crease?
00:34:42I'm sitting right here.
00:34:42I found this tile, which is gorgeous.
00:34:47And I figured if we can step it up and bring a little bit of a color, our entire suite
00:34:53right now is beige.
00:34:54And I'm all for it.
00:34:55You know me.
00:34:56I love a neutral.
00:34:56But I thought maybe we could bring in something a little different.
00:35:00You know, so I get worried about budget and I get worried about the time.
00:35:03And then the time is the budget and then the budget is the time and they affect each other and
00:35:06it's like this yin and yang thing.
00:35:08All right, just so we're clear, you want me to pull all this tile.
00:35:13It's not my fault that you got so good at tiling.
00:35:16You're so fast.
00:35:17I was literally gone for 15 minutes and you're almost done.
00:35:21Flattery will get you everywhere.
00:35:22Try it.
00:35:23But let me get this off before it really does set all the way.
00:35:26Are you kicking me out?
00:35:27Give me space.
00:35:29Love you, Mia.
00:35:30Yeah, stay away from the tile store.
00:35:44You go that way, turns it to me.
00:35:46Yeah.
00:35:47A design risk that I would like to take on is bringing back shag carpet.
00:35:53The shag carpet helps with the sexy.
00:35:55We are in Vegas.
00:35:58Oh, whoa.
00:36:01Yeah.
00:36:01Did you pick this out and okay this?
00:36:04No.
00:36:04No.
00:36:05It's weird.
00:36:06It doesn't match anything.
00:36:08We have a problem.
00:36:09This is not looking awesome.
00:36:11It's also synthetic, which is also making it kind of feel like honestly like an apartment,
00:36:18you know, builder grade carpet.
00:36:21I mean, imagine this with that mustard.
00:36:24I hate it with all my heart.
00:36:26Oh, well, just say it.
00:36:27I hate it.
00:36:27It doesn't hurt my feelings.
00:36:28I don't love it.
00:36:29So disappointed that this shag carpet is not going to work.
00:36:34I was really hoping to bring it back into fashion, but unfortunately we're going to
00:36:38have to change our plans.
00:36:39Is there a way to just find like a really cool area rug that is shag still?
00:36:47Let's just do the biggest shag rug we possibly can fit in the lounge area.
00:36:55Wow.
00:36:56Okay.
00:36:58Ouch.
00:36:59Mic hurt.
00:37:02It's just like baking a cake.
00:37:04Huh?
00:37:05It's a big cake.
00:37:06When's your birthday?
00:37:07April 7th.
00:37:09You're an Aries?
00:37:10I'm an Aries.
00:37:11Oh.
00:37:11What are you?
00:37:12I'm a Taurus, baby.
00:37:13Oh, you know what they say about Taurus.
00:37:17Sensual, hot, sexy.
00:37:19Hard to get along with.
00:37:20This is going to be our range hood.
00:37:22So right now it's just a drywall box.
00:37:24We have no money left to do it.
00:37:26You're a drywall box.
00:37:27I'm sorry.
00:37:28You know what?
00:37:29I thought you were going to be a little more serious coming into this competition,
00:37:33but...
00:37:33I'm giving you the energy you need.
00:37:35I don't know how we come back from this.
00:37:36You're not a football player.
00:37:39Oh, we should go surprise Vernon.
00:37:42Yeah.
00:37:43Get into, like, 24, 32, hut.
00:37:46What does that even mean?
00:37:47Scott and I have become very close very fast.
00:37:50And I'm sure a lot of people watching us will think that there's something going on.
00:37:55But really, the affection I have for him is a mixture of things.
00:37:59There's a little bit of, like, a daddy complex happening here where I feel safe and protected by you.
00:38:05And I trust you.
00:38:06And you give good advice.
00:38:08And, you know, his hugs feel like a dad hug, you know?
00:38:13Anyone in this competition understands the short-term rental market.
00:38:16It's you and I.
00:38:17True.
00:38:18I've done over a thousand rental suites.
00:38:20Oh, I got more on you.
00:38:22So...
00:38:22No!
00:38:25I'm just kidding, go ahead.
00:38:26How many rental suites have you done?
00:38:28The last time I counted, I was at 94.
00:38:33What most people don't know is that you've been building this really successful design business
00:38:38and specializing in the short-term vacation rental space.
00:38:43For under $100, we're going to get a $1,000-looking range hood.
00:38:53This keypad's really nice because the owners, like, you can operate it remotely.
00:38:58It really just makes it so you don't need a key ever.
00:39:00Today Vernon and I are installing a smart lock on our, like, accessory apartment door.
00:39:07Mina, I think this is super smart for the strategy that we have.
00:39:09Yeah, it's not like a huge thing, not crazy expensive, but it just makes the space more
00:39:15functional, right?
00:39:16Right, yep.
00:39:17Watching Mina work, she was just moving so fluent, she can do everything and anything.
00:39:22And I couldn't help but to think, hey, Mina, someone needs to make a movie about you.
00:39:28I can make a movie out of you, a real estate agent with superpowers.
00:39:33Your superpowers would be...
00:39:33What would my superpowers mean?
00:39:35You can hands-on, you can, like, do anything.
00:39:36You can handle any drill, you can flip it in the air, you can spin it.
00:39:39I can see you having so many superpowers.
00:39:41Like, every finger would be a different gadget, like a nail gun, a set of pliers.
00:39:47It's like Edward Scissorhands, but Mina tool fingers.
00:39:51Yeah, she's awesome.
00:39:52Which doesn't quite have the same ring, but I'll workshop that and get back to you.
00:39:57Super ginger.
00:40:00All right, she's a beaut.
00:40:03Oh, my God.
00:40:05I love their tile.
00:40:06Dang, I wanted to hate it.
00:40:08What is happening?
00:40:09It's really ugly.
00:40:20With only one day left, we had to bring in someone to help with the new tile so we could
00:40:24focus on other projects.
00:40:26So we decided to build this kitchen island because, number one, it's a little bit more cost-effective.
00:40:31Number two, we want people that come and stay in this room to feel the love and the investment of
00:40:36time that went into it.
00:40:38This is a story.
00:40:40This is something that was built out of love and attention to detail.
00:40:45You don't get that with the prefab piece.
00:40:47You know a lot more than you think you know.
00:40:49And the fact that he can build, I mean, who knew that Drew Lachey builds?
00:40:54I don't know how you know how to do this, but I'm just glad you do.
00:40:57Well, between having a smaller kitchen where they can make some breakfast, have their coffee, wine, of course, a sitting
00:41:04area, a place to sleep, washer, dryer, bathroom, literally a home away from home for someone.
00:41:10You put this in New York City, you're paying three grand a month.
00:41:14Minimum.
00:41:15Three grand a month.
00:41:16Minimum.
00:41:19You know what's really going to finish this countertop off, Brooke?
00:41:22I know.
00:41:23The design surprise that I so smartly picked out.
00:41:27A beautiful brass faucet.
00:41:30Brooke, all you got to do is focus.
00:41:32I can see you down there.
00:41:34I see you.
00:41:36Hello.
00:41:37Okay, let it go.
00:41:38Okay, should be good.
00:41:40Nope.
00:41:42I mean, we were pretty smart with picking something that might actually add value because everybody else just picked staging
00:41:48and decor.
00:41:48I mean, the truth is this kitchen is tiny, but it's got some big stuff in it.
00:41:53Do you want to know what our profit maximizer is this week?
00:41:55What?
00:41:56The dishwasher.
00:41:57Yeah.
00:41:58Bam.
00:41:59Because the average tenant will pay.
00:42:01The average tenant will pay an extra $75 a month to have a dishwasher, plus it's an extra appliance in
00:42:06our house, so it adds to the appraisal value.
00:42:08Got it.
00:42:18Oh, yes.
00:42:20Get it fucked up.
00:42:21Yes.
00:42:22I'm waiting for this.
00:42:24There we go, baby.
00:42:25I'm waiting.
00:42:26I'm waiting.
00:42:28There we go.
00:42:29Hey, what you doing, buddy?
00:42:30About time.
00:42:31About time.
00:42:32These are ours for sure.
00:42:33Yeah, that's us.
00:42:34That's us.
00:42:34Y'all better leave our mid-century alone.
00:42:36I need those, Vernon.
00:42:38Oh, I thought you were doing it.
00:42:38No, sir.
00:42:40We don't want a participation trophy.
00:42:42It's been three weeks and we still don't have a win.
00:42:46The multi-gen to me is the wild card in this entire competition, but I'm confident in what we've done.
00:42:55Our festooned movie room is like the biggest oddball idea.
00:43:01It's going to be a one-of-a-kind.
00:43:03People are either going to love it or they're going to hate it.
00:43:06Everything about it is comfortable, elegant, but just a little bit like sexier, like a little more masculine.
00:43:13Love it.
00:43:13Oh, you got it?
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15What I think is interesting with our multi-gen is that our added value is that there is some flexibility
00:43:20to the space.
00:43:21Spatially, does it fit?
00:43:22Yes.
00:43:23Spatially, it fits great.
00:43:24Okay, Argus Hump.
00:43:26To the left.
00:43:26We got like one minute.
00:43:31Multi-gen for the win.
00:43:37Teams, this week you've heard wedding bells, had an Elvis sighting, and committed yourself to the multi-generational suites.
00:43:47Yeah, we did.
00:43:47Yes, that's for sure.
00:43:49It's now time to learn who your judges are for this week.
00:43:52They're the top of their game and known for their big personalities, with skills varying from high-end design to
00:44:00real estate expertise.
00:44:02This week you'll be scrutinized in a way you've yet to experience here on the block.
00:44:07So I really hope you're ready.
00:44:08Any guesses who the judge could be?
00:44:11Someone who's been on the block for sure.
00:44:13Please welcome this week's judges for the multi-gen suites.
00:44:21It's you guys.
00:44:23What?
00:44:24What?
00:44:25What?
00:44:26Being judged by your peers is the ultimate vulnerable moment.
00:44:30It's something that, you know, you fear the most in this competition.
00:44:33That's right, it's time to check out each other's spaces.
00:44:38Yay!
00:44:40Wow.
00:44:41Where you will judge your competitors on design, creativity, and added value.
00:44:46Along with how well each team incorporated the design surprise this week.
00:44:51I've got your scorecards.
00:44:53You'll assign a numerical score to each team's space.
00:44:56I'll total them up, and the highest score wins.
00:44:59Scott and Brooke, I've got your card, you stay with me.
00:45:02We're judging your space first.
00:45:04Teams?
00:45:06Everybody looks so beautiful and handsome today.
00:45:10Vernon, you're my guy.
00:45:11Don't let me down, brother.
00:45:12Oh, my God.
00:45:13The modern cashienda.
00:45:23What?
00:45:25Look at this.
00:45:26Oh, my goodness.
00:45:37Oh, my gosh.
00:45:39Wow.
00:45:39You know what's interesting?
00:45:40I'm getting such modern Hacienda vibes in here.
00:45:44Dang.
00:45:47I'm shocked how they were able to lay it out and still have space.
00:45:52That's how they're going to add value in here is that this is like an apartment.
00:45:56Yeah.
00:45:57I mean, very guest.
00:45:57Detached from the house.
00:45:58Very guest suite.
00:46:00Mm-hmm.
00:46:00Right?
00:46:00I'm very impressed.
00:46:02Damn.
00:46:03Full kitchen, not a kitchenette.
00:46:05That's like full fridge, full range, not much in the way of any kind of storage.
00:46:11That is the nitpick.
00:46:12This is their faucet from the design surprise.
00:46:15Good use of it.
00:46:16Good use of it.
00:46:17The only thing that they don't have is a microwave.
00:46:19I've done it like ours is over our stove.
00:46:24Get out of here.
00:46:26What a hole.
00:46:26We have a fireplace.
00:46:28What a great use of space.
00:46:29I love the way they use this bench.
00:46:32It gives a little flow to the space.
00:46:35Yeah.
00:46:35So you've got dining, you've got living room, kitchen.
00:46:38Feels very comfy.
00:46:40It does not give me Hacienda being from San Antonio.
00:46:43I picture something very specific when I think of Hacienda.
00:46:46Like Adobe.
00:46:47But I do think it's very palatable.
00:47:02It's tiny and it's tight, but it does get it done.
00:47:05And it's like a train car where you do have privacy for the bedroom.
00:47:10Look at that tile.
00:47:12This is beautiful.
00:47:22Aw.
00:47:23Wow.
00:47:23Love, love, love the tile.
00:47:25The tile is my favorite thing so far.
00:47:27Same.
00:47:27And I love that it's up the walls all over.
00:47:31Killer.
00:47:31Drenches this room.
00:47:32Is theirs bigger than ours?
00:47:35How did...
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:36It feels bigger.
00:47:37Wow.
00:47:38We'll give Brooke all the credit.
00:47:40How about that?
00:47:41Damn it.
00:47:41I know.
00:47:42The bathroom is my favorite.
00:47:44Same.
00:47:44Yeah.
00:47:45Dang, I wanted to hate it.
00:47:47I think they did a really good job.
00:47:48Let's go check out the next one.
00:47:56What do we have?
00:47:58Ooh.
00:47:59Oh my gosh.
00:48:15Look at that fluted paneling back there.
00:48:18Side lit.
00:48:19Oh my god.
00:48:20Oh, turn around.
00:48:23Look at that.
00:48:25Check out that light fixture.
00:48:28Oh my gosh.
00:48:29I've never seen that before.
00:48:30I hate that light fixture.
00:48:31That's ugly.
00:48:32You hate it?
00:48:33That's really ugly.
00:48:34They changed this window.
00:48:35That's beautiful.
00:48:36Which I love.
00:48:37I love the square window.
00:48:38Because we all started with two windows there, right?
00:48:40Mm-hmm.
00:48:41I also like the closet doors painted a different color than the walls.
00:48:45It makes them an accent piece.
00:48:47Did you check?
00:48:48These handles.
00:48:49They're pretty.
00:48:50Ooh, the details.
00:48:51Yeah.
00:48:52It's very peaceful in here.
00:48:53What do you think about the floating bed in the middle of the room versus how Scott and
00:48:57Brooke had the bedroom and the hallway?
00:48:59I prefer this.
00:49:00This feels more like an en suite.
00:49:02It feels spacious.
00:49:03Now, thinking back to Brooke and Scott's, it felt like that little hallway.
00:49:07That's more of an apartment.
00:49:08With the railroad car.
00:49:08This is more like hotel room.
00:49:11Oh, here's the bench.
00:49:14That's creative, guys.
00:49:15Very cute.
00:49:16Very creative.
00:49:16Nice to have a spot off the bathroom where you could sit and do your shoes or whatever.
00:49:20Interesting.
00:49:32They added a barn door to the bathroom.
00:49:35Kept the same layout.
00:49:36Awesome.
00:49:37I love their tile.
00:49:38I love the sconces and the floating vanity I think is nice.
00:49:43Really great lights.
00:49:44It's really pretty.
00:49:46It is.
00:49:46I like it in here.
00:49:48I do too.
00:49:48Their kitchen feels bigger.
00:49:50I don't love the island.
00:49:52Oh my God, shut up.
00:49:53It's so cute.
00:49:54No.
00:49:54It's cute, but it just feels like a painted piece.
00:49:58I don't love it.
00:49:58Oh, I love it.
00:49:59There's no refrigerator.
00:50:00No microwave.
00:50:01Mm-hmm.
00:50:02Which are probably the biggest kitchen cons I would give.
00:50:06I'd stay here.
00:50:07I'd stay here too.
00:50:08Five nights.
00:50:09Go see the next place we'd stay?
00:50:11Five nights.
00:50:11Yes.
00:50:12Wine.
00:50:13All the wine.
00:50:14Cheese.
00:50:19Really cool door.
00:50:22Wow, Nina and Vernon.
00:50:37Oh, guys.
00:50:39So it's another apartment.
00:50:41Wow, we really went another direction.
00:50:46My parents would love to stay in here.
00:50:49But I feel like with this kitchen, I mean, this would be a nice rental.
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:53The way they did their kitchen is so banging.
00:50:56It is smart.
00:50:58Wow.
00:50:59I like the multi-tones that they did.
00:51:01It gives it dimension.
00:51:03And the cabinets right to the ceiling.
00:51:04Are you kidding me?
00:51:06Hmm.
00:51:06Going through this space, I feel like we didn't do enough.
00:51:09Being in here now, I like this kitchen configuration better than the other two.
00:51:13I mean, this is gorgeous.
00:51:14They have all the storage that the other ones didn't have.
00:51:17Drew, I'm obsessed with this detail because it's a subtle little thing that changes the whole space.
00:51:29If this was a rental suite, which it could be, you're not going to get as much rent for this
00:51:34as you will with ours.
00:51:35I will say, if I were renting somewhere, I would not want to have my friends over and have my
00:51:41messy bed in my closet and all my crap everywhere.
00:51:43Bam.
00:51:44So we could still be winning there.
00:51:46Could they have benefited from having a bigger bed?
00:51:49A little bit bigger bed.
00:51:50Maybe.
00:51:50That's a cuddle bed.
00:51:52The way that this is staged, it just feels more like office furniture with the day bed and the sofa.
00:51:57Like it doesn't feel like somewhere I would really want to stay because there's not like a big comfy bed.
00:52:02Seating for four, but sleeping for one.
00:52:05Bathroom, shall we?
00:52:06Bathroom.
00:52:06Bathroom.
00:52:18Bathroom.
00:52:19Bathroom.
00:52:19Bathroom.
00:52:20Bathroom.
00:52:20Bathroom.
00:52:21Bathroom.
00:52:22Bathroom.
00:52:23Bathroom.
00:52:23Bathroom.
00:52:23Bathroom.
00:52:25Bathroom.
00:52:26Bathroom.
00:52:29Bathroom.
00:52:30Bathroom.
00:52:33Bathroom.
00:52:34It's plumbing and it's exposed.
00:52:36It's very cool.
00:52:37I still like that we switched the layout of our bathroom
00:52:40because a center entrance is really awkward.
00:52:43I mean, this is a very specific setup
00:52:45where you have to want an attached apartment
00:52:48to your house with no access to the home.
00:52:50Overall, I think it's really, really sleek in here.
00:52:54I did not expect this as their design flavor, though.
00:52:59It's a little unexpected.
00:53:00The only negative is that, we didn't come up with this, damn it.
00:53:04One more to go.
00:53:13Oh, yes.
00:53:14Oh, my god.
00:53:30They went with like a movie room.
00:53:32But so vintage.
00:53:34I feel like I'm in a movie room in the 20s.
00:53:36Wow.
00:53:37I don't know what to say.
00:53:39So you do have a door here.
00:53:43OK.
00:53:43So you can access it directly from the main house.
00:53:47OK.
00:53:47OK.
00:53:48So you could make it a short-term rental
00:53:51if you didn't want it to be a theater.
00:53:52I see.
00:53:53Options.
00:53:54I always love options.
00:53:56No way.
00:53:59What?
00:54:03What?
00:54:05What is happening?
00:54:07It's something.
00:54:09Stop, don't, stop, stop laughing.
00:54:13I was not ready for this.
00:54:17It feels like you're in the big top.
00:54:19I was not ready for this at all.
00:54:23You're speechless.
00:54:25I feel like it's one of those moments
00:54:27where if you don't have anything nice to say,
00:54:29don't say it.
00:54:30Stop it.
00:54:31It's really ugly.
00:54:34It's a movie theater.
00:54:36I know we're on a budget, but my god.
00:54:40What?
00:54:40To me, that room symbolized survival.
00:54:44It was like a survivor tent.
00:54:46It was.
00:54:47It was like you could matchstick a fire in there.
00:54:49Oh, fun.
00:54:51This heats up through the counter.
00:54:52That's amazing.
00:54:53That's the best.
00:54:54The chandelier that they got.
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:56It's perfect.
00:54:58So they got their vintage chandelier.
00:54:59They got their cousin, It lamp.
00:55:01Which looks perfect.
00:55:11Look at the antique mirror.
00:55:12I mean, really, they didn't stop.
00:55:14Look at this detail.
00:55:15I don't like the chrome.
00:55:16With all the stuff that they've done,
00:55:17I can't believe they picked chrome.
00:55:21I feel like this would ding their entire house
00:55:24appraisal.
00:55:25I don't think you're appreciating what's been done here.
00:55:27This door is over here for everyone else.
00:55:30They can use this whole wall now.
00:55:32I kind of wish we had thought of using the whole wall
00:55:34like that.
00:55:35I'm going to have nightmares.
00:55:37You're in the nightmare.
00:55:40OK.
00:55:41I can't.
00:55:42I literally can't.
00:55:43You could adjust this slightly, take out some of the couch,
00:55:46drop in a bed, and still have it function as a short-term rental.
00:55:51The question is, does this add value?
00:55:53In my opinion, the answer is yes.
00:55:56I mean, you know, I'm down for a movie room anywhere.
00:55:59The big value adds, though, are they moved the door,
00:56:01and they added a door to the main house.
00:56:03That could be a game changer for the appraisal for them.
00:56:06So I think they made some smart layout choices.
00:56:09You did a really good job.
00:56:10Yeah, you did a great job.
00:56:11This is cool.
00:56:12This is live.
00:56:12Yeah, it is a lot.
00:56:13All right.
00:56:14We got a lot to think about.
00:56:24So how was that?
00:56:26Self-judging.
00:56:27It was great.
00:56:28It was great.
00:56:28That was hard.
00:56:29That was nerve-wracking, for sure.
00:56:31I thought I was a nice person.
00:56:33And now I don't feel like I am.
00:56:35She's a critic.
00:56:37Dang.
00:56:38It's got to be nerve-wracking to be judged by your peers.
00:56:40But on the other hand, I mean, how cool is it to finally get
00:56:43a peek at your competition?
00:56:44It was awesome.
00:56:45It's a little intimidating.
00:56:46Mm-hmm.
00:56:47I have here in my hands the envelope
00:56:49with the winner of the Multi-Gen Suite.
00:56:53Now, before we get to your decision,
00:56:55let's hear from you guys about each team.
00:56:58So, Scott and Brooke, why don't you come on up?
00:56:59And you're actually going to hear from the other teams
00:57:01what they thought of your design.
00:57:03Oh, OK.
00:57:03Oh, bring it on.
00:57:05So, Kim and Chelsea, let's start with you guys.
00:57:07What did you think of Scott and Brooke's Multi-Gen Suite?
00:57:10I think as creative as we thought the floor plan was,
00:57:13it was very locked into that.
00:57:15So, if you didn't want it as an apartment,
00:57:17it was not a flex space.
00:57:18It felt very much like it was kitchen, living,
00:57:21bedroom, and bathroom.
00:57:23But we thought it was really well done.
00:57:24If you are trying to use it as, it seems like,
00:57:27maybe like a rental income possibly as well,
00:57:30there might want to be a little bit more kitchen storage
00:57:33where things could be put away if somebody's going to be in there
00:57:35more than a night or two.
00:57:37I think making the bedroom is a super smart value add.
00:57:41The bathroom was beautiful.
00:57:43Only critique is that there's not really a place for a microwave.
00:57:47But overall, you guys did an amazing job, man.
00:57:49Amazing.
00:57:50Scott and Brooke, well done.
00:57:51You may take your spot back in the lineup.
00:57:53Thank you, sir.
00:57:54Thank you very much.
00:57:55Good job, guys.
00:57:56Appreciate everyone's feedback.
00:57:58Tanya and Drew, why don't you step in?
00:58:00We'll do some judging of you guys.
00:58:02When I walked into Tanya and Drew's space,
00:58:06I immediately melted onto the countertop.
00:58:08I fell in love with it.
00:58:10I felt like I was in a high-end store.
00:58:12I loved the rug.
00:58:13I loved the floating bed in the middle of the room.
00:58:15I loved where they put the sofa.
00:58:17I loved how they did the kitchen.
00:58:18And honestly, I didn't even notice the ugly stuff
00:58:21that they had to work with from the competition.
00:58:23Exactly.
00:58:24I think that the placement of the bed in the middle of the room
00:58:27was a huge risk.
00:58:28I loved it.
00:58:32Continue.
00:58:34And polarizing for certain people.
00:58:36I thought the wallpaper was probably the best feature
00:58:39in the entire space.
00:58:41Best wallpaper ever.
00:58:42It gave it a very unique hotel-like vibe.
00:58:45Yep.
00:58:46As soon as I walked in, guys,
00:58:47I thought I was in the best hotel in Vegas.
00:58:49I mean, it just felt amazing.
00:58:51Like, if I was staying somewhere, I would want to stay there.
00:58:52It represents everything.
00:58:53What I look for when I want to stay somewhere.
00:58:56The bathroom was beautiful.
00:58:58I really like the backsplash, too.
00:59:00A critique coming from a potential income standpoint
00:59:04would be not having more of a full kitchen.
00:59:07I think it would work great for a short-term rental.
00:59:09But anyone that was going to stay there more than a night
00:59:11or two, just having the cooktop and the wine
00:59:14fridge could be limiting.
00:59:15Her and I both, right when we walked in,
00:59:17we had that same feeling of, this is a place
00:59:19where I would want to stay.
00:59:21It did make me want to bring my bag over and just move in.
00:59:24So very well done.
00:59:26It was beautiful.
00:59:27Next up, it's Mina and Vernon.
00:59:29Come on down.
00:59:31I was shocked at how big of a kitchen
00:59:33you could get into that space.
00:59:35So well done there.
00:59:37You had dining for four, but a bed for one.
00:59:41There wasn't enough space for everything else
00:59:43that you would need for that big of an apartment.
00:59:45But I mean, I thought it was gorgeous.
00:59:48The way you laid it out was just spot on.
00:59:53Everything from the cabinet color in the kitchen
00:59:54was fabulous.
00:59:56The fact that it was a keyless entry.
00:59:57So you're naturally, you're going like, this is a rental.
01:00:00The faucet in the shower, the open, I was like, oh, OK.
01:00:05I was like, that's how we're going to play.
01:00:06OK.
01:00:07I thought your hardware in the shower was gorgeous.
01:00:10There was some steampunk gold cool element to it.
01:00:13I loved it.
01:00:14You have everything in there for the value add.
01:00:18However, when you see it all together,
01:00:20it maybe felt like it was trying too hard
01:00:24to put everything in there.
01:00:25And I think that you're playing the long game 100%.
01:00:28Yeah.
01:00:28Like there's value add, value add, value add,
01:00:30more than any other space that I saw.
01:00:32Any hating you're getting is intimidation from him.
01:00:34All right.
01:00:35Let's bring in Kim and Chelsea.
01:00:38So Tonya, Drew, what did you guys think
01:00:39of Kim and Chelsea's multi-gen space?
01:00:42I want to tell you, I applaud you for your creativity
01:00:45and your risk taking.
01:00:47Because I walked in there and my job dropped.
01:00:51And I didn't know if it was just because I was so like,
01:00:54what is happening in here?
01:00:56Where am I?
01:00:57But the decor, the matchbooks, the corduroy couch,
01:01:02the shag carpet, I felt like Burt Reynolds
01:01:04needed to be laying naked on that with like a cigarette
01:01:07in his mouth, just like hairy chest out.
01:01:10The tiniest detail, but the thing
01:01:12I was the most, most obsessed with,
01:01:14was the antique mirror on top of the antique mirror.
01:01:18And I feel like that's what I'm most depressed about
01:01:20with your guys' design style.
01:01:22It's just so layered and so thought out.
01:01:26Girls, I am the girl that will tell you
01:01:28if you have something in your teeth.
01:01:29I will tell you if your husband's cheating on you.
01:01:31And I will tell you if you look fat in a dress.
01:01:33It's OK.
01:01:34Rip us apart.
01:01:35It's OK.
01:01:36I was honestly disappointed when I walked in.
01:01:39I thought, oh my gosh, this is going to be the jewel box
01:01:42of the century.
01:01:43And I walked in and I was like, fabric people gave you
01:01:46frickin' drop cloth for your ceilings.
01:01:48It looked like his jeans.
01:01:50I'm like, what is going on?
01:01:51What's wrong with Ty's pants?
01:01:52What did Ty do to you?
01:01:54He dragged me to the fire.
01:01:56Nothing in my wildest dreams could have prepared me
01:01:59to walk through that door.
01:02:01Scott, is there anything you guys
01:02:02would have done differently?
01:02:03Oh, stop it!
01:02:05There's nothing in there that I could have imagined of myself.
01:02:09You weathered that storm.
01:02:10Why don't you take your places back in the line?
01:02:12We're happy to leave that scenario.
01:02:14Great job, guys.
01:02:16So you guys know how it works.
01:02:17The winner will see $3,000 to be used on next week's design
01:02:22thanks to the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card.
01:02:25Or add $1,000 to your final appraisal
01:02:28on the big finale.
01:02:31Okay, here we go.
01:02:32The winner of the Rock the Block Multi-Gen Suite is...
01:02:43Tanya!
01:02:44Yeah!
01:02:47Yeah!
01:02:49Yeah!
01:02:49Yeah!
01:02:51Yeah!
01:02:52Yeah!
01:02:53Yeah!
01:02:54It feels great to get that first W.
01:02:55Hopefully, there's many more to come.
01:02:57Just to get over that hump and feel what it feels like
01:03:00to be on that right track.
01:03:02Probably a better feeling than the others
01:03:04because we're being judged by our peers.
01:03:07So that's a huge compliment.
01:03:09All right, now you guys have got a big choice to make.
01:03:11Now that you've won, you've got to decide.
01:03:13Are you going to take the $3,000 toward next week's design?
01:03:17Or are you going to do the $1,000 towards your final appraisal in the big finale?
01:03:23Ty, we're going to take the $1,000.
01:03:26What?
01:03:27Yes!
01:03:28No way!
01:03:29We're going to take the $1,000 towards the final appraisal.
01:03:31Wow!
01:03:32We did not win.
01:03:34We did not win the multi-gen suite.
01:03:36It's a bummer.
01:03:37We are now the only team that does not have a win this season.
01:03:42So we really need to lock it in and just figure out a way to get on the board.
01:03:47You guys rest up and get ready for the next section of the house because we're not done quite yet.
01:03:53Sounds good.
01:03:55Here we go.
01:03:55All right, rest up.
01:03:56All right.
01:03:57The scariest thing that is happening right now is that from the beginning, Tanya and Drew have been a threat.
01:04:02And now for the first time, we're seeing the fruits of their labor.
01:04:06And things just got worse.
01:04:10Next time on Rock the Block.
01:04:12This week, the office, laundry room, and RV garage.
01:04:16The big garage terrifies me.
01:04:19If we get through this week, I'll be impressed.
01:04:21What is that?
01:04:22Uh, very good question.
