00:06Hey, Hank, can you dig me a hole right here?
00:09Today, our niece and nephew, Hank and Nell,
00:13my little brother Jesse, and his wife, Lauren,
00:15are going to come over.
00:16The kids will actually eat fresh vegetables
00:19if they pull them out of dirt first.
00:21Well, you're going to want to sit down.
00:23We got something to tell you.
00:24Are y'all okay?
00:25We bought a house.
00:27What?
00:28Yeah.
00:28Where? What house?
00:30In Ellisville?
00:30You want to see pictures?
00:32Yeah.
00:32Okay.
00:33It needs some work.
00:34The house is not great.
00:36The house is not great.
00:37It's ugly.
00:38What brought this home?
00:40Where are we growing our house?
00:41Hold on.
00:42Are you pregnant?
00:45Good morning.
00:47Just another day of making our favorite small town better.
00:49Erin, we got to go, babe.
00:51Love you, girls.
00:52Y'all have fun.
00:52Ben, let's go.
00:53You believe we fixed up over 100 houses in Laurel?
00:56I don't know what's going to go wrong today.
00:57I'm sure something.
00:59Anytime we start a new house, we don't know how it's going to go.
01:01Girl, a bat just flew through here.
01:03That's not good.
01:05No way.
01:06They're about to see the house for the first time.
01:08This is the best part.
01:09Oh, my God.
01:11Are you serious right now?
01:13It is perfect.
01:13Every day is different when you're renovating houses in Laurel, Mississippi.
01:24Are you pregnant?
01:26We are.
01:27I knew you were pregnant.
01:29There's going to be another baby.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Oh, my gosh.
01:33You're pregnant.
01:34Yeah.
01:34You've listed the greenhouse.
01:36Mm-hmm.
01:36And you are under contract.
01:38Mm-hmm.
01:38Yeah.
01:38You're talking about the one over by Katie and Chris's house?
01:41Where we saw y'all the other day?
01:43Hey, what are y'all doing?
01:45We're looking at a house.
01:47We'll tell y'all about it later.
01:49Did y'all just go look at it the one time?
01:51Yeah.
01:52Yeah.
01:52It was a great price.
01:53We got it for $200,000.
01:55Oh, cool.
01:55We bought it because it has six acres.
01:58It has a huge kitchen.
01:59It has a pool.
02:00It has a basement.
02:02It needs a lot of love.
02:04Are you just going to move into it?
02:05We're going to do renovations.
02:07Has your house sold?
02:08No.
02:09That's it.
02:09We just put it on the market.
02:10Y'all, that was really, like, impulsive to buy a house before your other one sells.
02:16No need to fear.
02:17You look a little worried.
02:19We're going to be good.
02:20Their life is just a completely different thing than it was when we did the little green cottage.
02:26Welcome to the Napier house.
02:28Hey!
02:29Woo-hoo!
02:31Have you thought about that?
02:32That was the last Christmas, and we didn't know it.
02:36We definitely have sweet memories there.
02:38You're just not as sentimental as we are, I guess.
02:41Yep.
02:43There will be more memories made at the new house.
02:47I just feel some, like, sadness because Ellisville is not two blocks away.
02:53It's a 15-minute drive to that house?
02:5515 minutes.
02:5615 minutes.
02:57Yeah.
02:57I love that house.
02:58We do, too.
02:59But we're also outgrowing it, looking for more space.
03:03How big's the house?
03:04What's going on here?
03:04Same amount of bedrooms, but just more room in general.
03:07We love the basement.
03:08Let's play the last five years.
03:12They got married, bought a house.
03:15Oh, my gosh!
03:18Oh, it looks so good!
03:20Dang!
03:21They got pregnant.
03:22They got pregnant again.
03:24They bought a small business.
03:27They frame shop in town.
03:30It's been four years.
03:31Yeah.
03:31And since then, we have moved locations to a new building downtown.
03:36We now know, got pregnant again, bought a new house, and listed their house.
03:40That's a lot.
03:42You're dramatic.
03:43I'm not being dramatic.
03:44We're going to try and do it ourselves.
03:46We're trying to be thrifty.
03:47We'll move in as is, and we probably won't do half the things before the baby comes.
03:53We love some paint ideas.
03:56I can definitely help.
03:57Kitchen ideas.
03:58We kind of want to do it.
03:59Yeah, we'll do it ourselves.
04:00All right.
04:01It's going to be good.
04:03We're excited.
04:04I am excited, but I am also nervous.
04:07So are we.
04:09Okay, good.
04:09That's what I needed to hear.
04:11Maybe if we talked about ideas and walked through the house with them, pumped them up about what
04:18we could offer, what we could bring to the table, that might soften them on this DIY thing.
04:24They're so crazy obsessed with trying right now at the worst time possible.
04:32We want them to let us do this house, but they're not asking anybody to help do anything.
04:38I just want to help in some way.
04:40Yeah, you can't be actively involved in helping them unless they ask for it.
04:44That is hard for you.
04:46But we're all like, dude, you need help.
04:52This weather was so crazy.
04:55Look at the paint.
04:56Holy smokes, y'all.
04:58The paint looks so good.
05:01You didn't even know if you was in the right house or not, did you?
05:03You got time while it rains?
05:04What all have you done inside?
05:07Mudroom area.
05:08This looks special.
05:10Yeah, there's no wood floors in here.
05:12There's not wood underneath?
05:14It's all...
05:14No, we looked at it.
05:15It's just a plywood.
05:17We love the size.
05:19It's a huge kitchen.
05:20That was a big selling point about the house.
05:22We would just like some updates.
05:24So how thrifty are we wanting to be?
05:26Like, do you want to use the cabinets that are here?
05:28Do you want to reface them?
05:29I'm okay to be thrifty elsewhere to have a better looking kitchen.
05:34We spend a lot of time in here.
05:35This, I think, it's got to go because you've said you wish you could have a big island, right?
05:40And there's plenty of room for that as long as that's not there.
05:43So if you lost that, you could open up a case opening here.
05:48You would need to push the ductwork up into the attic, and then you would need, like, a laminated beam
05:52because you're going to have to have big support right here.
05:55Okay.
05:56But then we would build a huge island right here.
05:59I love that.
06:01You could have the fridge...
06:02These are great ideas.
06:03...in the corner over there.
06:04The range would kind of shift.
06:05I like that.
06:06But you could have another oven in the island.
06:08You bake more than anybody I know.
06:10We're a cooking family.
06:12And then, as far as countertops...
06:14We loved our granite countertops at the previous home.
06:17I would love something.
06:18Have you ever seen green quartzite?
06:20No.
06:20Because I have been dying.
06:22But I love green.
06:24Oh, gosh.
06:26That's pretty...
06:27That's so you.
06:28I love it.
06:29They're kind of expensive, though, so we don't have to do that.
06:31That would be a great choice.
06:32We could be thrifty elsewhere.
06:34I think a backslash that's classic, but makes some kind of statement.
06:39Like, you could do a two-tone field tile checkerboard pattern, where it's like a terracotta and cream.
06:45If we went with, like, a cream color on the cabinetry, a deep ecru, maybe, if you wanted to have
06:51a little more color so it's not too white, I think you've got to get rid of the floor.
06:55Yeah, I hate the floor.
06:56A really cool sheet vinyl would be your super budget choice.
07:02Love that.
07:02Or you could tile in here and do something that's like a Salteo-colored hex tile, I think, would be
07:08really pretty.
07:09That would be so easy to clean, too.
07:11The dishwasher works, so we're going to keep that.
07:13But we could look for appliances that are not super expensive, because, again, they're not the star of the show.
07:19I'm fine with the little scratch and dent.
07:21So then you're going to be kind of sharing the space with the dining room.
07:24If you deleted the door and the window, it would allow for a bigger dining room table.
07:31You could just really use the dining room, though.
07:33And then lighting, paint.
07:35You've got to refinish the floors, though.
07:36Do you know how to refinish floors?
07:38I was just going to get on the internet and watch a video.
07:42What are you thinking about the bathroom?
07:44This is going to be the kids slash guest bathroom, probably most used.
07:50This tile is really great.
07:53I was going to say, you've got to be.
07:54This tile is really bad.
07:57It's a whole situation.
07:58We really love the blue 50s, 60s look.
08:02I mean, it's appropriate.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Everything else, the stucco walls.
08:08Yeah.
08:08It's bad.
08:09What are you going to do?
08:10Sheet rock over it.
08:11Or cut it out.
08:13I have no idea how to do that.
08:14That's going to be another internet video.
08:16I love the idea of keeping the blue tile and doing some type of wallpaper in here.
08:21Yes.
08:22And then, you know, find a vanity or something that would be.
08:25Yeah, you could definitely get a prefab vanity that's beautiful.
08:28Yeah.
08:28And that would save a lot of money.
08:29Something thrifty.
08:30And you said you definitely need double sinks in the kids' bathroom.
08:33Yeah.
08:34So that's what we're doing in here.
08:36So the biggest style changer in here would be, I think you've got to take all this off
08:41completely.
08:42I would love.
08:43And re-sheet rock.
08:44Like a wallpaper.
08:45Yes.
08:46I love pattern.
08:47And then taking out this tile floor, you could do possibly a sheet vinyl that looks like
08:52mosaic, just like white floor tile.
08:55Or you could actually do mosaic floor tile is not that expensive.
08:58Yeah.
08:58By a beautiful prefab vanity unit.
09:00You could have a funky little semi-flush light fixture.
09:04Yes.
09:04You could have a funky mirror and hardware for paint towels.
09:08I love like curves and different shapes and texture.
09:12I love.
09:12Yes.
09:13I love the idea of mixing all of that together.
09:15Are we happy with the tub?
09:16We like the tub.
09:17I love the tub.
09:18You get Marletta to refinish that.
09:20That's not expensive.
09:20Yeah.
09:21Okay.
09:21What else have y'all done?
09:23Nothing's changed in here yet.
09:24No, the hallway's the same.
09:25We have done some painting.
09:26The kids' room.
09:27How is that?
09:28Oh, the paint looks good.
09:30We didn't paint.
09:31My parents painted.
09:32Just because some of the paint, I can't be around while being pregnant.
09:35I have been pregnant and renovated.
09:37I just remember how stressful it was.
09:39We would be living in a lot of the renovation.
09:41Yeah.
09:43Which doesn't sound appealing.
09:44I mean, you still have such a very long way to go, and you're halfway to growing a full
09:50baby.
09:51And it's not getting easier.
09:53Before you can live in this house, you need the kitchen.
09:55A kitchen and a bathroom.
09:56Yep.
09:57And you need one bathroom.
09:58We were prepared to do it ourselves when we bought the house.
10:01Yeah.
10:02I think, realistically, it's going to take longer to do it yourself than you have thought about.
10:08I'm just going to buy a house.
10:09It's going to work.
10:09We can figure it out.
10:10We're going to fix it up ourselves.
10:11We're thrifty.
10:12We're capable.
10:13All of that is true.
10:15Like, even though the house is not really a disaster, it's just that I don't think that
10:19they can possibly fix it before the baby comes.
10:22I just don't think we kind of realized how much of a big burden that would be.
10:27The idea of not living in the house while it's getting renovated is appealing.
10:31That is a little overwhelming.
10:32We don't like to ask for help.
10:34But they have more of a shot at getting all this done than we do ourselves.
10:38The house sold.
10:39You need some of that money to pay for this one.
10:42But then you have some left over.
10:44We've got $75,000.
10:47That you want to spend on this house.
10:50Yeah.
10:50To renovate.
10:51What were you thinking?
10:52What if we take the $75,000?
10:54We could just do the urgent rooms only.
10:57Kitchen, a bathroom, and get in the dining room, living room, livable.
11:01Your roof's 25 years old, so we need to work in $10,000 for that.
11:05I like that.
11:07Yeah.
11:07We like that.
11:08Yeah.
11:08Yeah.
11:08Y'all are currently a family of four, and you only have a few more weekends of that.
11:14Before the little sister arrives.
11:16Is it a little sister?
11:17It is a little sister.
11:18I bet y'all already have a name picked out.
11:20Bonnie.
11:21Girls.
11:22Little girls.
11:23So many girls.
11:24Hank's so outnumbered.
11:26I love everything that we talked about when we were walking through.
11:29Yeah.
11:30I feel like $75,000 would do it.
11:32It would be so much fun to do it again.
11:34Let's let them do it.
11:35Yeah.
11:36Okay.
11:36You want to do it?
11:37Let's do it.
11:38Let's do it.
11:39Let's do it.
11:40Be thrifty.
11:41You starting today?
11:42No.
11:43Um, I can show you some stuff.
11:46We'll come back and talk about the outside when it's not raining.
12:05Who's running this show?
12:07Is it you?
12:07I mean, it's your house.
12:08I feel like I'm in charge.
12:09Listen, I can release you.
12:12We have our homeowner here with us doing demo.
12:16And your big brother.
12:18Tom's not here yet.
12:19I don't know if he's coming.
12:21Let's go.
12:22I have no tool.
12:23I'm in charge, Jesse.
12:24Jesse, come back over here.
12:26I'm in charge.
12:26All right.
12:27Jeez.
12:29All right, let's do this.
12:48So you canceled class for this.
12:50I canceled it just for Jesse.
12:51Just for you, buddy.
12:53Thanks, man.
12:53Ben didn't even take off work.
12:55No.
12:59You heard from Tom?
13:00He never showed.
13:01I wanted to get out of it, too.
13:05I wish we could keep this blue tile on this wall, but I don't know what we'll do ultimately,
13:10because we're going to have, I think, budget will only handle a prefab vanity.
13:14Yeah.
13:14But let's just see how much of the blue we can save on this wall.
13:25That mirror is hanging by a thread now.
13:28This scares me.
13:32We did it!
13:33It did great!
13:35Pretty impressive.
13:35I feel like that never happens.
13:40There's pretty tile back there.
13:45I think that is some super 70s tile.
13:47Look, I'm excited.
13:49Anything we can find that is usable, that could become beautiful, super important to keep it.
13:55I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was little.
13:58I wanted to dig for dinosaur vaults.
14:00Pretty close.
14:00This is it.
14:03What'd you find?
14:04Can y'all be delicate?
14:05Oh, I can be delicate.
14:06Sam's leaving.
14:08Nope.
14:08I want to uncover, unwrap the original vanity.
14:11My first thought was, let's just rip the whole vanity out and see if this continues behind it,
14:15but I really don't think it does.
14:25Ooh!
14:26Yeah!
14:27That is so cool!
14:28Oh, Doyle rules!
14:30That's easy to clean off.
14:31Uh-huh.
14:32To rework the vanity, we couldn't make it have double sinks, no matter what,
14:36because the hole is cut in the center.
14:38So I called Lauren, and Lauren said she definitely would prefer double sinks over the original vanity
14:45with that backslash tile that we found.
14:47So we've got to just carefully cut the tile on the wall and remove the original vanity.
14:55Whatever we do, we just want to save money wherever we can.
14:58All of our big, splurgy things have to happen in the kitchen.
15:02So if we can save money in the bathroom, I want to do it.
15:16Jesse and Lauren are coming by the house today while they're staying at Lauren's parents,
15:19so they're going to swing by and grab a couple things while we're here working.
15:23we have a watercolor to show them and that is exciting because they've already painted the
15:27house and it looks great while they're here i want to just talk about the roof and how i think
15:32mid-century houses were less afraid to use color on the roof what are y'all doing well i got
15:38the
15:38painting ready to show them jesse come here you want to see yeah i want to see
15:48you switch it off i want to show you your house but now i'm standing here realizing the trees are
15:53pretty obstructive preference on keeping all the trees that are close to the house i don't mind
15:58getting rid of these two anyway just something to think about because if you had no trees this is
16:03what you would see super cool i love that i love the green roof so my thinking was we went
16:11so green
16:11at your last house and you still love it we could have a roof that's just a solid dark green
16:16do you
16:17have anything that's kind of a little more funky i have a shingle sample that definitely has like
16:22flecks of cream light green and dark green i like that idea of the cream yeah i think it could
16:27really
16:27bring out the color you fainted it yeah i love what's going on here this is a mid-century style
16:33house if you did this mid-century modern mahogany custom-made door with a clear coat that sounds
16:40really pretty this railing was my idea because this wrought iron one is really loose and it's
16:47pulled the anchors out of the brick it has to be replaced replaced or fixed i have cypress left over
16:52from a project oh and so we could use it on there oh yeah uh if we can save money
16:58wherever we can we'd
16:59love that okay yeah i'm trying to save money like anywhere we can everywhere i love that so the thing
17:05is
17:05we're getting really close to bringing in cabinets and things like that and i'd love for you to be
17:09surprised what if i finish mowing yeah if you can get like your last box of things whatever that yeah
17:16all right let's get going yeah jesse show me how this mower works all right careful with it i think
17:22that's got a 300 pound rating when you're designing a home that your family's gonna live in it won't end
17:30when they move in for us it's gonna keep going so it's more than just a house that needs help
17:35this
17:36is like it's the backdrop to our family yeah so i hear you got some issues with this bathroom tile
17:49yeah you can say that we got to talk to david about the bathroom because i know that this is
17:53a different
17:54kind of tile problem i love the bathroom tile for once great and i want to use every bit of
18:00it
18:00that's here but i'm really scared that you're about to tell me something awful what's going on look
18:05here at this corner you got a broke towel where's it at well it was here and now it's not
18:10we don't
18:11know where that piece went i'm sure it's here somewhere right it got nicked and then hit the floor
18:17and i guess it got scooped up and carried out with the rest of the trash we really need that
18:22it is
18:22what everything i'm designing hinges on like if the towel is not there the whole bathroom design
18:28falls apart but also we need it for money well i gotta keep this tile we are not changing the
18:35tile
18:35this vintage tile it's worth saving it's beautiful this area here well that's about to fall off the
18:41wall right there oh yeah it's just loose i just take all the loose ones out cut some of this
18:47grout out
18:47restickle currently the problem that we have is that we don't know what happened to these
18:52someone has thrown them away i can do that there are places you can find it i'm gonna find it
18:57yeah
18:57i guarantee you can't find that it's vintage tile that corner is going to be near impossible to find
19:04what are you going to do with this floor this floor is getting new towel we're going to do an
19:08inexpensive white hex mosaic tile on the floor and it's just not making a statement because we want
19:14everything else in the room to make the statement so i'm going to go check the dumpster y'all keep
19:18talking about where you're going to find it online and all that you know what we got a bet going
19:23on
19:23he's not going to find it don't be tough if he does see what you can find all right what
19:29do i get if
19:29i win pot roast with rice and gravy i think that i'm going to be the one to find the
19:38tile because we had
19:39it and now we don't which means it's here i think the chances of you finding that very corner piece
19:48that came off of the wall is so slim
19:53it's going to be like finding a baby sock in a dumpster
20:04corner piece that's it i'm pretty sure i found what will work pot roast did you find well i haven't
20:13i haven't looked that clear i have found the corner i found a corner piece this ought to work if
20:18i can get
20:18it off in one piece yes got me a corner
20:30chicken coop 101 if your wife wants it you build it you build it so why and jesse build this
20:37well lauren told me that it would be a dream come true if they could have gardens and chickens sis
20:45is
20:45making her own bread she's gonna be also making her own eggs i was raised on a chicken farm but
20:50like
20:51a commercial one there were no coops i have no experience with chicken coops but i've been reading
20:56you can put six chickens in a 36 square foot chicken coop that's what you need okay i think we
21:04could put it in the front yard somewhere to the side for me the most important thing about the chicken
21:08coop is that hank and nail and future baby napier can open and access the eggs because think about how
21:15exciting that is that every morning to go out and get eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast so here
21:21was my thought this is all scrap stuff from the factory that i've just been compiling over here this
21:27is all spanish cedar because i want it to be a pretty chicken coop yes of course i'm gonna buy
21:31two sheets
21:32of plywood everything else will be scraps it should be like a little small thing here's what i saw in
21:39my
21:39mind's eye i thought it would be like five feet wide maybe seven feet high egg box wall these boxes
21:48need to be between 12 and 20 inches off the ground the chickens need to feel like they have privacy
21:52and
21:52comfort so they can lay their eggs and so then you would have a screen door here or you know
21:57chicken
21:57wire the chickens having their little privacy wall here of slats this is all screen you gotta have the
22:05little ladder those chickens can't fly and then i imagined it having wheels and on this end wheelbarrow
22:13style handles that you pick up one i'll pick up one and we'll move it together but this is definitely
22:20no taller than like seven feet at the tallest point i want to have some color i brought some color
22:26samples
22:27here i trust you it's gonna be great so i'm essentially building a rickshaw but it's a chick shawl
23:01that's that's close okay feels a little tight right here can it go that way oh yeah yeah sure
23:07and i know we'll have overhang for the bar yeah that feels way better i think this kitchen feels
23:13super comfortable especially with lots of kids lauren is going to freak out you know what'll make her
23:20really love this kitchen green quartzite yeah sure wish i could afford it i'm working on it i think i'm
23:26close like if we reuse their old dishwasher and i save money into a prefab vanity in the bathroom i've
23:32asked the moms to come help us paint so that should save us a little bit i think i'm like
23:37500 away
23:53front door is going in today big moment i hate leaded glass that front door is terrible on the south
24:04the front door is the taste maker of a house it really does tell you what to believe about this
24:14house so that's what i think this front door is going to do it's going to be transformative this is
24:28lauren and jesse really gravitate toward is using natural wood wherever you can add it this front door
24:33does that i love this door how's it look looks great
24:52lauren has been really crazy about these european kitchens that are super minimalist that are all about
24:57function and then you'll see a checkerboard pattern on the backsplash this house is different
25:02it's a little bit funky so we have the terracotta and cream everywhere the countertops are going to
25:07be a dark green quartzite which we've never used before because it's crazy expensive but i can't wait to
25:14see that i know i'm being very splurgy we've saved money everywhere like this is a super budget
25:20terracotta look towel okay lauren wants terracotta towel floors i cannot afford terracotta towel floors but
25:28i can afford ceramic towel that is the color of terracotta it works with this also cheap version of
25:37zelige tile that's really not zelige but it's gonna look beautiful and we can do it under budget
25:51so don't forget don't forget this is vintage if by some completely off chance you were to break
25:59this one tile i don't have a backup
26:05oh my goodness please be gentle
26:23came off in my hand that is a lot of luck right there oh i thought wow wow i thought
26:30it broke off
26:32i thought it broke too there for a minute great job man i was worried about that one piece you
26:37saved the
26:38whole bathroom with a single towel mike i could say i saved the house when david took that tile and
26:43just
26:43carefully placed it in the spot it's like the house unlocked it unlocked its full potential for us
26:52good job that's what we needed
27:03is
27:12lauren's parents lynn and sonny have been here painting every minute they're not at work miss lynn
27:19hey you've been so busy i know so she started the dining room today and me and ben's mom are
27:25here and we're gonna try to knock out dining room and living room tonight lauren has said she's so
27:32so so so thankful for y'all letting them stay i love them staying i don't want them to move
27:37i think
27:38you're lying i'm not lying i love having them painting is not fun but it's something that has to be
27:44done
27:44well anybody can do it you just have to want to yeah you know i don't really want to anymore
27:50i used to
27:51y'all we're getting a roof today and they are so fast if aaron gets her pick it's going to
28:04be a
28:05statement roof i get to do it this time we don't always so it's a fun day for me
28:19the floors are getting refinished that is exciting because that was the ugliest thing about the whole
28:24house jesse and lauren really wanted to sand the floor themselves we think this needs professional
28:30help those floors are in really rough shape i think it's going to cost about 2500 but it's
28:34important but now that you just see the clear beautiful oak it's so blonde and bright and i think
28:41a water-based clear coat is going to do the trick to keep it light so it doesn't become red
28:47with like
28:48an oil-based clear coat oh i'm so sorry the weather's like this today
28:59what a lovely day a great day for moving thousands of pounds of stone the moment i saw it pop
29:07up on my
29:07calendar that we were going to get to get the stone today i have been giddy we've just never
29:14gotten to choose a colorful stone with so much movement that's so out of the ordinary that's so
29:20good i was so scared when i first saw the trailer coming because i saw the back side and it's
29:24gray and
29:25i was like it's supposed to be green this is so beautiful this is so cool y'all
29:35that was slick hey how does it look with the door i am so nervous about corners getting chipped off
29:40i know
29:42guys this is our first countertop that is a color i like that this is big it's so unexpected and
29:50so lauren
29:52and jesse it's so good that looks you like it i tried so hard to color match the front door
30:00to the
30:01countertop without having a sample of the countertop i was just going off of a picture i know that it
30:05was splurgy to get this countertop it was totally worth it we scrimped and we saved it just looks
30:11really expensive because it was because it was
30:25golly that looks good with the floor this is like the beach
30:29the ocean and the sand david's gonna do the backsplash today really yes
30:44we got another problem in the bathroom i don't know david texted me okay
30:53love it love it love it love it love it i've been so ready to see this wallpaper because that
30:59is what makes this all finally make sense this is the exact same color yes these blueberries match the
31:07towel it's all so youthful so we're taking this very old powder blue look that's dated but when
31:15you change the upper half of the wall it changes everything oh yeah what do you think i love it
31:20what's
31:21the problem david's gone now but he texted me that he didn't have much luck getting the blue tile off
31:28the board he tried soaking it and every time the tile would crack david had to cut out the old
31:33tile that
31:34was loose here so now we have a space that the vanity is not big enough to cover and we
31:40got to
31:41fill the gap all right now that i'm looking at it what if we just push the vanity this way
31:45so it touches
31:46the tile and then in that corner have a linen cabinet to the ceiling we could do like spice rack
31:53pull out
31:53drawers style so you could see from the side all your product cool because it's the only way we can
31:59deal with the tile hole look how good that tile looks right there i have one tile that's so fun
32:06now
32:07we got to get marletta to refinish the tub i think it's in good shape it needs a cleaning more
32:12than anything
32:13cool
32:37i want to get you on the sun sky
32:58i don't know how chicken coopery works but lauren wants it real bad that'll be a huge surprise for
33:10i'm so thrilled with how this house turned out it is so distinctly lauren and jesse they're colorful
33:18they're offbeat they admire the unusual and their house should reflect that the bathroom was the
33:26problem child of this house all in the pursuit of original tile was it worth it i think so the
33:34vanity was not expensive but i thought if we add custom hardware it feels like it is you know
33:43it's really pretty similar we did an inexpensive sconce up there and it just had white shades
33:48but a painted stripes oh i love that did i go too far nope
33:57see the thing that's different is that i'm going to spend a lot of time in this house
34:01usually we finish a house and we say goodbye it's a special relationship with the whole design
34:07process when you really can envision yourself being a part of a project beyond completion
34:16welcome to the napier house holy cow i love it
34:26that looks so good my gosh that's awesome y'all this looks great
34:37you see that door really really look at the front door the door is custom built mahogany wow shoot i
34:44love the little window oh and the railing looks so good not only does it look good it is rock
34:51solid so
34:51hank and nail aren't gonna i love that i love the lines that it kind of creates with the windows
34:57the
34:58door the railing the windows it's very linear i love it and that is the theme of a mid-century
35:05house and we just kind of pushed it in there yeah i love that i love the green roof it's
35:10not
35:10too green either it's just so new and fresh yeah and the color is honestly kind of nondescript
35:15it looks very because you can't really see your roof i love it hey look at that over there whoa
35:24is that a chicken coop that's a chicken coop hot dog shut up the back of it is really beautiful
35:30we did we got spanish cedar treated pine it should last a very long time it's so pretty
35:37i love the wood yeah slatted look was you know to tie it to the house yeah i wanted it
35:43to be bigger
35:44then aaron said no build it this size and put it on wheels and i built it this size there's
35:48no way
35:48you could have moved it even if it had wheels on so we'll use the tractor to put it where
35:52you want it

38:35the variation it just looks like the ocean gosh this counter space i love so much golly these are
38:42beautiful i'm glad we were thrifty elsewhere to splurge here we found a lot of ways to save the money
38:48to
38:48give you so much pretty counter space saving your dishwasher and reusing it yes using porcelain tile
38:56instead of a concrete i wouldn't know no one would know they're beautiful they're super affordable
39:01i like that it's like a matte finish to the tile then the backsplash was also a super affordable
39:07tile but you put it in an unexpected pattern and it becomes that's awesome i've never seen it like that
39:12i love the checkered pattern good we saved a lot of money using these cabinet door profiles these are
39:18the most affordable cabinet doors you could get this is the we didn't do anything fancy with the
39:23cabinet the cabinets are great the the handle is what makes it it looks like mid-century modern look
39:29you have double ovens is that what this is yeah that's so nice oh my gosh having both of these

40:54nice do you remember what this looked like stucco the heavy stucco awful yeah okay we demoed everything
41:01in the process the tile on the wall started coming off and that meant the vanity had to scoot down
41:07here
