00:00Coming up.
00:02Hi.
00:04I have done several DIY projects.
00:07I love making things with PVC pipes.
00:10Peggy is like my DIY nightmare.
00:13I put up these shelves.
00:14I mean, it's like where DIY went to die.
00:17Oh, and I hung up this.
00:18Oh, no, it's falling out.
00:20Okay, that was a fail project.
00:22The home doesn't match her personality at all.
00:25And now she's willing to say,
00:27I've DIY'd myself into this mess,
00:29and I don't know how to get out of it.
00:31The weight of this house is pretty heavy.
00:33We really have to fix this.
00:35I think Sam's gonna be a girl.
00:37You think he's gonna be a girl?
00:38This is my life now.
00:42So the number one thing
00:43is we've got to get rid of that swing.
00:46Oh, my God, my swing?
00:50Surprise.
00:51Eek.
00:53We've taken a lot of liberties with this design.
00:55I don't know that this is gonna land.
01:02Oh, my God.
01:04I'm Nate Berkus,
01:05and I'm married to Jeremiah Brent.
01:09And we're interior designers.
01:11Built-in bench right here.
01:12It's gonna be so pretty.
01:14Hi.
01:14Hi.
01:15We're rescuing homeowners
01:17who are in over their heads
01:18with no way out.
01:19Hey, Jeremiah,
01:20please, please,
01:20come help us.
01:22We don't see a way out of this.
01:23I feel like I've been saved.
01:26We'll turn their money pit
01:27into a masterpiece.
01:29Oh, my God, you guys!
01:40DIY is this massive phenomenon.
01:43People love it.
01:44I mean, they love it, babe.
01:45Well, because it's low cost.
01:46It's a great way for you
01:47to connect to the process
01:49of creating something for your home.
01:50And it's supposed to be so easy.
01:52But sometimes DIY
01:55turns into...
01:56DI cry.
01:59I'm just just sitting there.
02:00Why don't you just help me?
02:01Because it's gonna fall apart anyway,
02:03so I find it useless to help you.
02:04My name is Peggy,
02:05and I'm a pharmacist.
02:07That's pharmacist slash actress.
02:09And I'm Jonathan.
02:11My BFF.
02:12Peggy and I have been friends
02:14for over 20 years.
02:15I bought my house six years ago.
02:17Two-bedroom, two-bath,
02:18and I thought it was gonna be
02:20the perfect feng shui dream home.
02:22And then when I moved in,
02:24the bathroom was leaking,
02:25and it was all crumbles.
02:27And then the tub also leaked.
02:29It was one bad contractor
02:30after another,
02:32and then I decided
02:33that maybe I should take over
02:35and learn some stuff
02:36and do it myself.
02:36I thought, well,
02:37how hard could it be?
02:38You could just Google any tutorial.
02:40I have done simple DIY projects
02:42in my office slash gym slash living room,
02:45my master bedroom,
02:46and my bathroom.
02:48My favorite DIY project
02:50is my barn door style
02:51medicine cabinet door.
02:54Oh, it's too short.
02:55And I put up these shelves.
02:58It's a little bit crooked.
03:00Oh, and I hung up this.
03:02Oh, no, it's falling out.
03:03Okay, so that was...
03:04That was a fail project.
03:06I love making things
03:08with PVC pipes.
03:09You're a carpenter.
03:11I know.
03:12And I love cardboard boxes.
03:14And my next DIY project
03:16would be making furniture
03:18out of cardboard boxes.
03:20You don't really need
03:21any more DIY stuff.
03:22Look at these projects.
03:23They're halfway done,
03:24and you're saving boxes.
03:25You're saving pieces of pipes.
03:27It's just all cluttering your house.
03:31With all your unfinished DIY projects,
03:34with all the clutter on the floor,
03:35your house doesn't look good,
03:36and you don't have feng shui.
03:40He's exaggerating.
03:41Now I'm embarrassed
03:42to actually come visit you.
03:43A lot of times,
03:43I don't want to spend time here
03:45as much as I used to.
03:46Have a seat.
03:47Sit down.
03:48Where can I sit down?
03:50There.
03:50It's a mess.
03:51I've tried to urge her,
03:53hey, need some help
03:54to throw this away,
03:55or organize this.
03:57You come back later,
03:58and it's back to the way it was.
04:01I feel so wasteful
04:02when I throw things away,
04:04and I do,
04:05that I do agree,
04:06I do have a problem,
04:07because I think
04:09the boxes are taking over
04:10my life a little bit,
04:12and I've done all these projects,
04:14all these DIYs,
04:15nothing comes out right,
04:16and I've created a mess
04:17in this house.
04:19I do feel unsettled.
04:23Sometimes I feel stuck
04:25when you don't have control
04:26over your life.
04:27Making stuff
04:28makes me feel like
04:29I'm doing something,
04:31but I feel like this house
04:32looked so much better
04:33before I moved in,
04:34and now I go in,
04:36and it seems like
04:36I messed everything up.
04:39Me and Jeremiah,
04:41I need a lot of help.
04:43So hopefully,
04:45y'all can help me.
04:47The tricky thing
04:48with Peggy is that
04:50we don't want to humiliate her
04:51or embarrass her
04:52about our situation at all.
04:53If anything,
04:54we want to help her
04:54move through it.
04:55She's kind of creating
04:56all these obstacles around her,
04:57and we need to change that.
05:02Are you ready
05:03to go meet
05:04Peggy and Jonathan?
05:06Jonathan obviously
05:07cares about her a lot.
05:08Do you know which part
05:09of this I find
05:10the most exciting?
05:11The fact that you
05:12have absolutely
05:14not one percentage
05:16of interest
05:17in DIY,
05:18and this woman's
05:19entire life is...
05:20I hate it.
05:21I hate it.
05:23You think calling
05:23the carpenter
05:24is DIY?
05:25Yeah, it is.
05:26Do it yourself.
05:26You do the phone call
05:28yourself.
05:28I dial,
05:29I say this is broken,
05:31and then they fix it,
05:32and it works.
05:33This is gonna be amazing.
05:35You ready?
05:36You ready?
05:38Here is your
05:39favorite DIY project,
05:40your medicine cabinet.
05:42Yes.
05:42Peggy knows
05:42that she's being
05:43considered for the show,
05:44but she has no idea
05:45that we have already
05:46chosen her,
05:47and we are about
05:47to surprise her
05:48at her home
05:49and let her know
05:50the good news.
05:50And we've got to
05:51see this place
05:52for ourselves.
05:57If you slide it down,
05:59it goes back
06:00to the trap.
06:02Can you believe
06:02this mass in here?
06:03There's a lot of stuff.
06:05We can barely
06:05walk through this.
06:06That shows the wall
06:07is uneven.
06:08We're trying to
06:09glue the mirror
06:10on here.
06:11No.
06:11No.
06:12No, I'm on the swing.
06:14I'm happy.
06:15The place is
06:15a DIY disaster.
06:17Do you remember
06:18when your mother
06:18said to us
06:19that we should have
06:20all of our furniture
06:20hanging on swings
06:21in this room?
06:23I do.
06:24I'm going to set up
06:25in the office.
06:26Okay.
06:28Oh, wait.
06:28Oh, Jonathan.
06:31Hi.
06:32Oh, hi!
06:34Oh, my God!
06:36Oh, my God!
06:37Wow.
06:40I love you guys.
06:41I can't believe
06:43Nate and Jeremiah
06:44are in this house.
06:45Amazing.
06:46Stunned.
06:47Speechless.
06:47How are you feeling
06:48right now?
06:49I'm excited.
06:50Shut up.
06:52Take the floor.
06:53I want y'all
06:54to move in.
06:56Why are you
06:56so emotional?
06:57Yeah.
06:59I feel like
07:00I've been saved.
07:01You know?
07:02Like, I feel like
07:03it's going to be okay.
07:05I'm going to be okay.
07:06You are going to be okay.
07:07I'm going to be okay.
07:10The weight of this house
07:11is pretty heavy.
07:13Emotionally.
07:13Oh, yeah.
07:14I feel like
07:14I can't even breathe.
07:16Like, I feel so anxious.
07:19We really have to fix this.
07:21I believe that creation
07:23has turned into
07:24a distraction for Peggy.
07:26So we need to get in there.
07:27I need to clear out
07:28all of the noise.
07:29We need to take the tour
07:30so we can understand
07:31what's really happening.
07:32This is my bathroom.
07:34What works in here
07:35for you and what doesn't?
07:36Well, this is not working.
07:37Right.
07:38Only one sink
07:39is working right now.
07:39This side,
07:40I managed to kind of fix.
07:42So there's down here.
07:43I put a straw
07:44by where the leak is.
07:45So I just have to
07:46empty that one today.
07:47So you have to
07:48empty that every day?
07:49Yeah.
07:49Okay.
07:50So this,
07:51we've got more closets
07:52on wheels.
07:53What's this?
07:53Oh, I like that.
07:54For PVC.
07:55More PVC.
07:55Laundry basket that she made.
07:56Okay.
07:57I like a DIY.
07:59See?
07:59I love DIYs.
08:01But I like an edited DIY.
08:02I like it within reason.
08:03Like, I can put tape
08:04DIY can go DIY wrong
08:06real quick.
08:06That's right.
08:07The tricky thing with DIY
08:09is that if it's not done correctly
08:11and you keep making mistakes
08:13on top of mistakes
08:13on top of mistakes,
08:14it might actually cost you more
08:16in the long run.
08:17Peggy is definitely
08:18doing the best she can.
08:19But this bathroom
08:20is a complete mess.
08:21There's doors missing.
08:22Nothing works.
08:23There's a mirror.
08:24She spent so much time
08:26and effort for her
08:27not to actually enjoy her home.
08:28It breaks my heart.
08:31Here's the master bedroom.
08:32Ooh, she had the yellow.
08:34Yeah, it says my favorite color.
08:35It is?
08:36Mm-hmm.
08:36I painted myself.
08:38Okay.
08:39That is yellow, man.
08:40That is a bright yellow.
08:41Ooh.
08:42It's like you're
08:42sitting on the sun.
08:43It's the antithesis
08:45of a calming, relaxing space.
08:47You walk in the door
08:48and just from the walls alone,
08:50it's like, whoa.
08:51Pow!
08:52Do it again.
08:53Pow, pow!
08:53What's this story
08:54with all of these tool drawers?
08:56It's my dressing room.
08:57Okay.
08:58We have to work
08:58on the organization
08:59and storage here as well.
09:00Yep.
09:00Yeah, it doesn't feel like a home.
09:04This is supposed to be my gym area.
09:06Okay.
09:07This is my office.
09:08I was trying to make
09:09my own little desk.
09:10Okay.
09:10Cool-out drawer desk.
09:12Okay.
09:12And then you made
09:13your lighting up there, too.
09:14Yes, I did that myself.
09:15Okay.
09:15I thought you might have.
09:19What's the story
09:20with the swinging sofa?
09:21When I was a little girl,
09:23I loved to sit down and swing
09:24and then just swing really high
09:26and then kick the clouds
09:27with my feet.
09:28It does cut off
09:29the feng shui of the space
09:30where it's at right now,
09:31but you emotionally connect
09:33to the swing of it.
09:34Okay.
09:34Peggy loves the swing.
09:36It's the only seating
09:37currently in that room.
09:38Can we find a way
09:39to translate that
09:40in a more sophisticated way
09:41that doesn't cut off
09:42the entire function
09:43of the space?
09:44You don't match this home.
09:46Your energy,
09:47just from being around you
09:48for 10 minutes,
09:49you don't match
09:51what this feels like.
09:53I almost feel like
09:54I'm fighting against myself.
09:57Do I hate myself this much
09:58to suffer like this?
09:59Because I've been suffering
10:00like this
10:04since my parents passed away.
10:06And I feel like
10:07my life just crumbled.
10:09So I had to ask myself,
10:11what am I doing to myself?
10:13When my family came
10:14to this country,
10:15we had nothing.
10:16We had to make
10:17our own noodles at home
10:18just to save money.
10:20And this is my heart
10:21of money
10:21and the money
10:22that my parents gave me
10:23to help me buy this house.
10:25And I think
10:26by trying to do things myself,
10:29it's almost like
10:29trying to save
10:30what I have destroyed.
10:31I'm going to have to wait.
10:32I'm going to have to wait.
10:33I'm going to have to wait.
10:34We're just people
10:34that care very deeply
10:36about the work that we do
10:37and care a lot
10:38about the people
10:38that we meet.
10:39And I think if we can figure out
10:41how to craft an environment
10:42that makes you feel differently,
10:45then that's something
10:46that's really,
10:47really powerful.
10:48And we're going to have fun.
10:49We're not going to just cry
10:50the whole time,
10:50I promise.
10:51You're going to cry the whole time.
10:52I mean, I'll cry,
10:52but I cry when I'm happy,
10:54so it doesn't matter.
10:55The home doesn't match
10:56her personality at all.
10:57And now she's willing
10:58to be vulnerable enough
11:00to say,
11:01I've DIY'd myself
11:02into this mess
11:03and I don't know
11:04how to get out of it.
11:05She needs help
11:06and we're coming in
11:06at the perfect time
11:07before it's too late.
11:08Now that we have
11:09an understanding
11:09of how each room
11:10needs to function,
11:11what do you have
11:13to throw into
11:14this renovation money-wise?
11:16I'm going to give
11:17all the money I've saved
11:19to $60,000.
11:21I have $60,000 saved up
11:24that I was planning on to use
11:25to buy for my next house
11:26because I've destroyed
11:27this house,
11:28but hopefully
11:29me and Jeremiah
11:30could help me
11:33turn my house
11:34into a home
11:35that I would love
11:37to come home to.
11:38That's a lot of money.
11:39And we don't really have
11:42like the creative concept
11:43down yet, obviously,
11:45because we've just met.
11:46But we will make sure
11:47that that is money well spent.
11:49Coming up,
11:50we have a storage pod
11:52and we would like you
11:53to store the things
11:54that are important to you
11:55and the rest will be donated.
11:58Peggy, how are you doing?
11:59Awful.
12:00I don't know what I'm doing.
12:01Are you open
12:02to a totally new color palette?
12:05Pink?
12:06No.
12:12So Peggy's house.
12:14You know, Peggy set out
12:16to create this feng shui,
12:17very relaxing DIY house.
12:20Nothing works.
12:21Nothing looks right.
12:22Nothing's finished.
12:23Yeah.
12:23The tricky thing with Peggy
12:25is that she has so many
12:27unfinished DIY projects
12:28that it's really hard
12:30to kind of get an understanding
12:31of what her aesthetic is.
12:32Yeah, we need it to be clean.
12:34We need it to be organized.
12:35We need to get rid
12:35of all of the clutter.
12:37But I don't think
12:38either one of us
12:38feels comfortable saying,
12:40Peggy would like this.
12:42It's just too hard to tell.
12:43We need to create
12:44a really calm,
12:45relaxing space for her.
12:47Eliminate the clutter
12:48and eliminate the need
12:49for her to start up
12:50on, like, DIY after DIY project.
12:52So let's start
12:53in the master bath.
12:55Mm-hmm.
12:56The bathroom right now
12:58has a lot of wasted space.
13:00You know, she's an actress.
13:01And I love the idea
13:02of her having, like,
13:03this glammy, beautiful,
13:04like, Hollywood starlet
13:06dressing room.
13:07Yep.
13:08If we brought
13:09this as the bath
13:11and this as dressing...
13:13So you want us
13:14to just kind of
13:15split the room
13:16into two.
13:17Yeah.
13:17I think the bathroom
13:18gets pushed
13:19into one section.
13:20Yep.
13:21And you pass
13:21through the dressing room.
13:23If we do this,
13:24we can really kind of
13:25play around with this shower
13:26and increase the size
13:27a little bit.
13:29New flooring throughout.
13:31Mm-hmm.
13:31Unify both spaces.
13:33How would you feel
13:34about wood porcelain tile?
13:36I feel like this
13:37would be, like, warm.
13:38It's beautiful.
13:39Love it.
13:40But it's easy to maintain.
13:41It's durable.
13:42What if we did it
13:43on the chevron?
13:44Cool.
13:45What about
13:46the master bedroom?
13:48One thing that we have
13:49to address in that bedroom
13:50is her neon yellow.
13:53That room needs
13:54to be a sanctuary.
13:55She needs to disconnect.
13:56The colors need to be soft
13:58and light.
13:59It needs to be, like,
13:59a really beautiful,
14:00soft room.
14:02Right.
14:03Let's move into
14:04her office area.
14:05Hi.
14:08So the number one thing
14:09is the bedroom
14:10of that swing.
14:11It's mounted
14:12in a really weird place
14:13that cuts off
14:14the entire flow
14:14of the room.
14:16Why don't we
14:17talk with Peggy
14:18about whether or not
14:19it's, like,
14:20an important thing?
14:20No, I think,
14:21I don't think we ask her.
14:22I think we,
14:23I'd rather ask her
14:23forgiveness
14:24than permission
14:24with this.
14:27Scary.
14:27I know,
14:28but it's got to come out.
14:38We're back.
14:41Today's the big day.
14:42We're meeting with Peggy
14:43to talk about
14:43all of our design ideas.
14:45Are you ready?
14:46Ready.
14:46He's ready.
14:48Hi!
14:49We're back!
14:51How are you?
14:59We're welcome.
14:59We're definitely
14:59going to have to come
15:00to terms with a couple
15:02of things
15:02that she's not expecting.
15:04Surprise!
15:06Eek.
15:07Well, I guess I should ask,
15:08in this room,
15:11what has to stay
15:12for you?
15:13I like my L-shaped desk.
15:15Okay.
15:15And my swing.
15:17For the desk,
15:18would you be open
15:18to us reimagining it
15:20for you,
15:21but making sure
15:21that you still have
15:22the same function
15:23and storage
15:23and everything?
15:24Yes.
15:24Okay.
15:25And you really
15:26like the swing.
15:27Okay.
15:27What is it about
15:28that swing
15:29that was so important?
15:30Because my parents
15:30used to leave me
15:31in a daycare.
15:32Got it.
15:33While they worked
15:34two jobs.
15:35So, at the daycare,
15:36that was my freedom.
15:37To swing.
15:38Yeah.
15:39It was fun.
15:40I can't believe
15:40you wanted to move
15:41her swing.
15:44This is not about me.
15:46You wanted to move
15:47the swing, too.
15:48That's me.
15:49Please, please.
15:52When it comes
15:53to Peggy's swing,
15:54we are a little bit
15:56in for it
15:57because we have
15:58to make the room
15:58function.
15:59It's got to be
16:00laid out differently,
16:01but we have to
16:02keep it somehow
16:03because it's connected
16:04to her memories
16:05of her family
16:06and her parents.
16:07So, whatever solution
16:08we come up with,
16:09it has to be
16:10the perfect solution
16:11for Peggy.
16:13That's me saying.
16:13Do you want to hear
16:14what we are calling
16:15the tone of the new
16:17design of your home?
16:19Yes.
16:19We have decided
16:20to call this design
16:24organic minimalism.
16:28What does that mean?
16:32So, exactly.
16:34I am just puzzled.
16:36I'm not even sure,
16:37like, what does
16:39organic mean?
16:40The organic part
16:42is really kind of
16:42falling into some
16:43of the fundamental
16:44principles of feng shui,
16:46the idea of the wood,
16:47the water,
16:48the lights,
16:49the energy,
16:50the outdoors.
16:50The shapes of fire.
16:52All of those principles
16:53to get you living
16:54in a way
16:55that's more harmonious.
16:56We are keeping
16:57things in this home
16:58if they're absolutely
16:59beautiful
16:59or absolutely functional.
17:02That said,
17:03we have a storage pod
17:05in the front of the house
17:06and we would like you
17:08to store the things
17:08that are important to you
17:09and the rest
17:10will be donated.
17:13Decide what should stay
17:15and what's time to go?
17:17What is it that
17:18you're feeling exactly?
17:19Are you scared?
17:20I'm feeling anxious.
17:21Anxious?
17:22Are you excited?
17:23No?
17:24I'm scared.
17:25Just remember,
17:26we're on your side here.
17:28Trust us.
17:29We're not asking you
17:29to get rid of any
17:30family photos.
17:31We're talking about
17:32the stuff that's
17:33accumulated
17:33and just weighing you down.
17:35I feel anxious.
17:36It makes total sense,
17:38but it's scary.
17:40But it's part of the process.
17:41You have to go through
17:42scary situations
17:43and then the payoff
17:44on the end
17:45is going to be
17:46so much more rewarding.
17:47Even this, the TV?
17:50Well, yeah.
17:50How hard is that going to be?
17:52I put that up myself,
17:54by the way.
17:54Well, then you can
17:55take it down.
17:56That's a good time.
18:01Peggy, how are you doing?
18:02Awful.
18:03I don't know what I'm doing.
18:05I'm waiting for my agent
18:06to call so I can leave here
18:08and Jonathan take over.
18:09Right, Jonathan?
18:11Uh, no.
18:12Get back to work.
18:15Now that Peggy
18:16has cleared out
18:17her essentials
18:17and moved into
18:18an extra room
18:19in the house,
18:20it's time to get
18:21started on construction.
18:22And we've got
18:23a ton of work to do
18:24in that master bathroom.
18:28We'll be reworking
18:30the entire layout
18:31and taking down
18:31that closet
18:32will allow us
18:33to create two spaces,
18:34a bathroom,
18:35and also a dressing room.
18:37We'll then frame
18:38that wall
18:38that connects
18:39the two spaces
18:40and close up the walls.
18:43I mean,
18:44it is a drastic change
18:46and we have no clue
18:47how Peggy's gonna react.
18:48Not one clue.
18:56Hi.
18:56How are you?
18:57You're my favorite people
18:58in the world.
18:59Look at your temporary...
19:00Is this where you're at?
19:01Yes.
19:01How is living
19:02through construction?
19:04Challenging.
19:05Have you been following
19:06the rules
19:06and staying out
19:07of the construction area?
19:08Yes, sir.
19:08Do you want to come
19:10with us to take a peek?
19:11Should I?
19:12Yes, come on!
19:13Today's a good day for it.
19:14Okay.
19:15Let's go.
19:15All right, let's go peek.
19:16You go first.
19:18Oh, my God.
19:21Wowzy, wowzy.
19:22Everything is gone.
19:24I didn't realize
19:25this room was so big.
19:26How does this feel?
19:27It's like...
19:29happier.
19:32It's free.
19:33Yeah.
19:34It does feel free.
19:35Do you miss the stuff?
19:37Not having it in here?
19:38I'm not missing...
19:39I mean, I'm okay.
19:40Ah, see, isn't that interesting?
19:42But that's because
19:43you weren't connected
19:43to the stuff in here anyway.
19:45I mean, I'm sure
19:46there's certain things...
19:46Oh, my God!
19:47It's my swing?
19:50What's...
19:50Oh, my God.
19:51Where did it go?
19:53You're gonna bring it back, right?
19:56You're gonna bring it back, right?
19:57Why are you hiding behind me?
19:58I was hiding?
19:59The swing is not gone forever.
20:01That's what we're gonna say.
20:02Oh, yeah!
20:03We know how much
20:05Peggy is connected
20:06to that swing.
20:07But what she doesn't
20:08have any clue about
20:09is that we have
20:10a really huge plan.
20:12It's a surprise.
20:13We're taking a huge risk with it,
20:15and I hope that it pays off
20:16and that it lands
20:17and she likes it.
20:18We need to take a minute,
20:19the three of us...
20:20Come here.
20:21And just take in
20:22what this feels like
20:23to not have all
20:24of this stuff everywhere.
20:27Seeing my office
20:28without anything in there,
20:31it's good.
20:32It's surreal.
20:33My office oversees
20:35the pool,
20:36the backyard,
20:37and I have forgotten
20:38that was one of the reasons
20:40I purchased the house,
20:41because the tranquility
20:43that you feel,
20:45you know,
20:45when you're working
20:46in your office.
20:47It feels like
20:48a new beginning,
20:49right?
20:50A new beginning.
20:53Coming up.
20:54Here we go.
20:54Come on, let's go.
20:55Okay, hold on one second.
20:57We've taken a lot of liberties
20:59with this design.
21:00Wait, I go first?
21:01Yes!
21:02I don't know
21:03that this is gonna land.
21:07Oh, my God!
21:12This is the color
21:13of her bedroom right now.
21:15That does not say
21:16relaxation station.
21:18No.
21:18Hi.
21:20Hello.
21:21We're shopping for paint today,
21:23and we thought it would be
21:24fun to invite Peggy.
21:25But because she has
21:26such an affinity
21:27for bright colors,
21:28we're gonna have to
21:29really walk her
21:30through this process.
21:32So, sweetheart,
21:33we've been thinking
21:34a lot about this,
21:34and the bright yellow
21:35that you painted
21:36the room yourself
21:37doesn't feel zen.
21:40No.
21:40Are you open
21:41to a totally new
21:42color palette?
21:44Pink?
21:45No.
21:47You sound like
21:48we're talking to our daughter.
21:50Every time we say
21:51colors goes pink.
21:53I love pink.
21:53What other colors
21:54do you like
21:54besides pink and yellow?
21:56I like light orange.
21:58Okay.
21:59Light purple.
22:00Okay.
22:00Okay.
22:01The good news is
22:02that none of those colors
22:03were in our idea.
22:04If you had to pick
22:05two colors that,
22:07besides the yellow
22:07that's already
22:08in Peggy's bedroom,
22:09that are equally
22:10as frenetic
22:12and not calming,
22:13they would be
22:14orange and pink.
22:15Yeah, and nothing
22:15about orange and pink
22:16says, hey, feng shui.
22:18Yeah, like,
22:19hey, I'm calm.
22:21So, Peggy,
22:22here's what you're
22:23gonna start to notice.
22:24We're kind of
22:24taking the cues again
22:26for the idea
22:26of organic minimalist
22:28and really drawing
22:29from nature.
22:30There can be different ways
22:31that we're gonna bring
22:31your pops of color,
22:32but we wanted to keep
22:33the palette very soft.
22:35What do you like?
22:36What do you not like?
22:37I like this.
22:38So you like the alabas.
22:39I like the master.
22:40Okay.
22:40Also clean.
22:41I like this one.
22:42Okay, pretty.
22:43And I think
22:44I like all three
22:45because I think there's...
22:46You like the contrast?
22:47Yes.
22:48Okay.
22:48Do you want to know
22:49why we pulled
22:506,000 different colors
22:52and what we're
22:52thinking about doing?
22:53What we would love
22:54to do is paint
22:55the floor
22:56of your master bedroom.
22:57A pattern.
22:58Mm-hmm.
22:59Really?
23:00Mm-hmm.
23:01We really want
23:02to honor Peggy's
23:03love for DIY,
23:05but in a much
23:05more sophisticated way
23:06than she was doing
23:07before.
23:07So we found
23:08this really great
23:09floor pattern
23:10that we're going
23:10to have painted
23:11on her bedroom floor
23:13and we're hoping
23:13that she loves it.
23:14We've done it
23:15in the past
23:16and, you know,
23:17I think people
23:17are afraid to paint
23:18wood floors
23:19because they're worried
23:20about the durability,
23:20but if you use
23:22exterior porch paint,
23:24it's meant to be
23:25outside,
23:25so it's durable.
23:27A lot of people
23:27who don't want to pay
23:28to replace their floors,
23:29this is a really cool
23:30alternative.
23:31And very DIY.
23:32Mm-hmm.
23:33as happy,
23:34sort of,
23:34in a more subtle way
23:36as the bright yellow walls,
23:37but I think it's fun.
23:39That's our pitch.
23:40That's our pitch.
23:40What do you think?
23:42How do you feel
23:43about it?
23:45Oh, I love it.
23:47Oh, my God.
23:48The floors
23:49that Nate and Jeremiah
23:49are going to design
23:50for me,
23:51it's going to be so amazing.
23:52I'm going to be doing
23:53hopscotch on my floors.
23:56It's going to be fun.
23:57Yay!
23:58Hi.
23:59Hi there.
23:59What's up, Francisco?
24:00How are you, Francisco?
24:01So, basically,
24:02we're actually going to have
24:03the floor stenciled
24:04and painted.
24:04What would be
24:05the best product?
24:06For that,
24:07we have the Benjamin Moore
24:08floor and patio.
24:08We can make any
24:09Benjamin Moore color
24:10in that, pretty much.
24:10Amazing.
24:11Amazing.
24:12For the master bedroom,
24:13which is going to be
24:14a very important color,
24:15we're actually doing
24:17iced marble.
24:18What is the best,
24:19sort of, line
24:19that Benjamin Moore
24:20offers for that?
24:21That'd be
24:22the Regal Select.
24:22Satin finish?
24:23Satin finish?
24:24Yeah.
24:24All right.
24:25Thank you so much.
24:26Thank you so much.
24:31Daddy, I'm going
24:32to put him...
24:33Okay, wait.
24:33He's coming.
24:33Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
24:35What are you doing, guys?
24:37Hide the pictures.
24:39Pops?
24:39You're hiding pictures?
24:40Pops, I love
24:41that you can't keep secrets.
24:43What are we going to show?
24:43What's it a picture of?
24:44What do you want
24:44to show Daddy?
24:45Daddy?
24:46Yeah.
24:47Pops, is this
24:48your baby brother?
24:50What?
24:51You haven't seen these yet.
24:52Look at him.
24:53The tiny nose.
24:55He has a tiny nose.
24:56He does.
24:57I think Sam's
24:58going to be a girl.
24:59You think he's
24:59going to be a girl?
25:00Are you wiping
25:01your nose on me?
25:03Lovely.
25:04This is my life now.
25:07Hey, listen.
25:07What should we tell
25:08little brother?
25:09What do we say?
25:11Keep...
25:12Growing!
25:13Keep growing!
25:16Daddy, let's go.
25:18Come on.
25:19No, you go get a tissue.
25:20We'll wait right here
25:20for you.
25:21I need to have a tissue.
25:23Well, you know
25:24where the tissues are.
25:25And I come back.
25:26Okay.
25:27I can't believe
25:28that, like,
25:29just a couple months ago,
25:30we, like, stressed out
25:31about everything
25:32and the surgery
25:33and the fear
25:34around the idea
25:35that something
25:36could happen to him.
25:36And now we're
25:37at the finish line almost.
25:38You said right
25:39when we found out
25:40that there were complications.
25:41I hope this is a story
25:42that we'll be able
25:43to tell him someday
25:44before we knew
25:45that he was okay.
25:46It will be.
25:47Everything's going
25:48really beautifully
25:49with the pregnancy.
25:50We're about a month out
25:51from the newest member
25:52of our family
25:53joining us.
25:54Poppy has been
25:55so excited
25:56this entire process
25:57and to listen
25:58to her tell me
25:59that she hopes
26:00that the baby brother
26:01is growing
26:01in the belly still
26:02and asks
26:03if he's coming tomorrow
26:05or is he coming
26:05next week.
26:06It's really sweet.
26:07It's just kind of
26:08hurry up and wait now.
26:09Play with me.
26:11Play with you?
26:12Yeah.
26:12I think we can go play.
26:14Let's go play.
26:14I want to play
26:15with the baby.
26:16Okay, it's going
26:17to cost you, though.
26:22Ick!
26:34Everything is full steam
26:35ahead at Peggy's house.
26:37There's a ton
26:37of work to do.
26:39In the bedroom,
26:40we're getting rid
26:41of that loud
26:41in-your-face yellow
26:43and going with
26:43a very calm,
26:45relaxing gray.
26:47Now, rather than
26:48installing new floors
26:49in the bedroom,
26:50we are going to paint
26:50them with a really
26:51cool pattern.
26:52It's a different
26:53color palette
26:53than she's used to,
26:54but we hope
26:55that she agrees
26:55with us that it's
26:56less distracting
26:57than the yellow
26:57that was dominating
26:58the room before.
27:00The bathroom
27:01has been a really
27:02big source of stress
27:03for her,
27:03so we want to create
27:04the calming,
27:05feng shui feel
27:06she's always wanted.
27:08Wood is a really
27:10big part of
27:10organic minimalism,
27:12so we're going
27:12with wood-toned
27:13porcelain tile flooring.
27:15And we know
27:16that Peggy loves
27:17her swing,
27:17but since it doesn't
27:18work in the room
27:19it was in,
27:19we're creating
27:20a new patio
27:21for her.
27:22This is going
27:23to be a total surprise.
27:25It's the perfect
27:26thing to allow her
27:27to swing anytime
27:27she wants,
27:28and she'll have
27:28a whole new space
27:30inside and out.
27:33Okay.
27:36All right.
27:37Okay.
27:38Cute.
27:38Really cute.
27:39The walls are now
27:40soft, beautiful gray.
27:42I love that we took
27:43her swing out of
27:44this room,
27:44but we gave her
27:45a new swing.
27:46Peggy's swing before
27:47was way too big
27:48for the space
27:49and completely cut it
27:50off, but the new
27:51swing...
27:51It's the right scale,
27:52it's pretty,
27:54it's sort of
27:54hand-knotted macrame,
27:56it's going to look
27:57great, and she can
27:58swing inside anytime
27:59she wants.
28:00It's a win-win.
28:02I'm so excited
28:03about this.
28:03Be careful.
28:04Things haven't been
28:04as tight lately as...
28:07What are you
28:07exactly saying?
28:08You're the one
28:09that was, like,
28:10literally just ate
28:10a bag of Sour Patch
28:12Kids, and I
28:13watched you do it,
28:14and you're worried
28:14about me on this
28:15swing?
28:15Sour Patch Kids
28:16are sugar-free.
28:17That's a lie.
28:18That is a lie.
28:20Okay.
28:22Beautiful.
28:23Wow.
28:24I really like it.
28:25I know, I like it, too.
28:27Reclaimed wood vanity.
28:29I just think it
28:30works really beautifully
28:30with this whole
28:31organic minimalist
28:32that we're trying
28:33to introduce.
28:33I like how it's
28:34going to have storage.
28:35It's clean.
28:36I like the waterfall
28:36edge.
28:37Me, too.
28:38I think, like, the
28:38idea that we've
28:39introduced this
28:40invisible storage,
28:41people think that
28:42a medicine cabinet
28:43needs to be behind
28:43a mirror, and this
28:45is so much more
28:45useful.
28:46I really like what
28:47this looks like.
28:49Who approved
28:49the shower and issue?
28:51No.
28:52She asked college
28:54to do it, and we
28:54weren't here.
28:55Are you serious?
28:55Yes.
28:56Who's paying for
28:57that?
29:01Who approved
29:02the shower and issue?
29:04No.
29:05She asked college
29:06to do it, and we
29:07weren't here.
29:08Are you serious?
29:08Yes.
29:09Who's paying for that?
29:10I don't want to
29:11talk about it.
29:12No, but, like, who?
29:13It seems simple.
29:14The homeowner wants
29:15to add a niche.
29:15Big deal.
29:16But we didn't have
29:17the correct tile to
29:18create the corners for
29:19that.
29:19We didn't frame for it,
29:21so they have to open
29:21up the wall again.
29:22We don't have the
29:23material, the time,
29:23or the money.
29:24As always, we're
29:25working with a really
29:26strict budget, so
29:28any time those changes
29:29are added, it really
29:30disrupts the entire
29:31flow of the process.
29:32Hey, Dave.
29:33Yeah.
29:34Question for you.
29:36What's the deal with
29:37the shower niche?
29:37Peggy asked for that.
29:40Apparently.
29:40Really?
29:41I came in after, and
29:43I noticed the guys
29:44had waterproofed in
29:45a niche.
29:46Wow.
29:46Which wasn't on
29:47the original design.
29:48Right.
29:48but it was too late
29:50to turn back because
29:51it was already
29:51waterproofed and
29:52cemented in.
29:52Wow.
29:53Okay.
29:54Do you think it'll
29:54be covered by the
29:55contingency in the
29:56budget?
29:57Yeah.
29:57We always build in
29:59a contingency with
30:00the budget, and if
30:01you're renovating your
30:02own home, you should
30:03be doing this as well
30:04because no one can
30:05predict what's going
30:06to happen.
30:06Peggy's niche was,
30:07you know, $1,000 of
30:09work and construction
30:10and labor that we
30:11hadn't planned for.
30:12So we're lucky
30:13because we had that
30:14$1,000 in the
30:15contingency budget,
30:16but if anything else
30:17pops out, we're out
30:18of cash.
30:19How are you feeling?
30:21A little stressful.
30:22We've been moving
30:22around so much for
30:24the past three days
30:25because we can't be
30:26at the house, and I'm
30:28wondering if they're
30:29going to let me keep
30:29my swing.
30:36Today is load-in day.
30:38Load-in day.
30:39We have so much
30:40work to do.
30:40We have to tackle
30:41Peggy's workroom, patio,
30:43bedroom, master bath,
30:44and her master dressing
30:45room.
30:46All right, grab some
30:47stuff.
30:47Let's get to work.
30:51The funny thing about
30:52this whole zen organic
30:54minimalist tone for
30:55Peggy is that we're
30:56trying to introduce
30:56really beautiful things
30:57that are timeless and
30:58clean, but not making
31:00it feel cluttered.
31:00So we'll see how it
31:01goes.
31:02So before we got here,
31:04Peggy didn't really have
31:05any accessories or
31:06decor.
31:07Yeah, I mean, we
31:07have no clue as to
31:09Peggy's personal style,
31:10and we're hoping that
31:12she loves everything.
31:13We have five rooms to
31:15finish them.
31:16Time's ticking.
31:17I'm so stressed out.
31:20What a gentleman.
31:21There you are.
31:22One of the main issues
31:23with, wow, I sound like
31:25Sharon here.
31:26Woo-hoo, you know?
31:28One of the main issues
31:29with Peggy's shower
31:30before.
31:31It was small.
31:31It was cramped.
31:32Now she has this new,
31:33beautiful, custom shower.
31:34We added in this niche,
31:36slab bench, slab
31:37threshold, completely
31:39custom shower, organic,
31:40minimalist.
31:45One, two, three.
31:47Keep going, keep going,
31:49keep going.
31:51I'm stress eating.
31:52It's starting to feel
31:53like a house.
31:55One of the things that I
31:56actually do support in
31:58terms of DIY is adding
31:59pattern and texture and
32:01depth to a space with
32:02removable wallpaper.
32:04We put it on all the walls
32:05in the closet and in the back
32:06of the shelves so Peggy can
32:08feel like a princess when
32:10she gets dressed every
32:11morning.
32:12Remember how she showed us
32:13that she used a straw to
32:14make it drip into a bucket?
32:16It was like a little house
32:17on the prairie.
32:18It was like going to the
32:19water well.
32:24We still have to do the
32:25office, so don't sit down.
32:26Come on.
32:27Gotta get to work.
32:29Quickly, please.
32:34This was the most cluttered
32:35space in the entire house.
32:36So this is going to be her
32:37creativity lab.
32:38Peggy thought that having a
32:39workspace meant that she
32:40needed to have an L-shaped
32:41desk crammed into the
32:43corner.
32:43We're actually giving her
32:44triple that amount of space.
32:46We're centering it in the
32:46middle of the room.
32:47It can be a great place for
32:48her to have people over for
32:49a drink or a great place for
32:51her to sit down and work on
32:52some of her projects.
32:53Peggy's expectation is that
32:55we've redone the master
32:56bathroom, her master bedroom,
32:58and her office space.
33:00What she doesn't know is that
33:02we've also done an outdoor
33:04area and we've created a
33:06beautiful dressing room so
33:07that she can feel like a
33:08princess every day when she
33:09gets dressed.
33:10Do you think she's going to
33:11freak out that her swing's not
33:12inside and not have any idea
33:13we did this?
33:16We'll see.
33:22It's revealed it!
33:23Revealed it!
33:24Revealed it!
33:25Revealed it!
33:26Revealed it!
33:29Revealed it!
33:29Let's go!
33:30Let's go!
33:30I am scared.
33:31I am so scared right now.
33:33I'm excited to see what they
33:34actually did to your place.
33:36I do have complete faith in
33:38Ne and Jeremiah, but I spent
33:40good money.
33:41I'm just an unknown.
33:42That's a little bit scary.
33:44And, um...
33:45Yeah!
33:46Okay, we're turning onto my
33:47street.
33:48We're turning onto my
33:49street.
33:49Okay, I'm ready.
33:50Everything's gonna be cool.
33:50Everything's gonna be fine.
33:51Okay, everything that you got.
33:54Babe, I know you're placing those really beautifully,
33:57but she's literally just pulled up.
33:59Here we go.
34:00Here we go.
34:02I think I'm the most nervous about Peggy's reveal
34:05than I have been with anybody else so far.
34:07Come on, let's go.
34:09Okay, hold on one second.
34:11There wasn't really anything about Peggy's space
34:14that told us what her style was all about.
34:17It was just the projects that she was trying to organize.
34:21Let's go get her. You go get her.
34:23Okay, I'll follow you.
34:24We've taken a lot of liberties with this design,
34:27and I don't know that this is going to land.
34:30Hello!
34:33Hi, ladies and gentlemen.
34:35How are you?
34:36I'm so scared.
34:38Are you scared?
34:39I'm scared. I am so stressed.
34:40Are you stressed out?
34:41Are you ready?
34:43No.
34:43Are you ready?
34:44I am ready now.
34:46All right, well, we're going to take you through.
34:47You guys go ahead of us.
34:48Wait, I go first?
34:49Yes!
34:50Yes, yes!
34:52Wow.
34:55Oh, my God!
34:59You guys go ahead of us.
35:00Wait, I go first?
35:01Yes!
35:02Yes, you!
35:06Oh, my God!
35:09Oh, my God.
35:10Oh, my God, this is gorgeous.
35:13Does it look like your place?
35:17Oh, my God, this is gorgeous.
35:18I am in shock.
35:25Amazing!
35:28Is this my desk?
35:29Oh, my God.
35:30Oh, my God.
35:31Oh, my God.
35:32Oh, my God.
35:37I have a place for everything.
35:39Oh, my God.
35:39And now look at the storage over there.
35:41Glass cabinets.
35:41The bins that you love.
35:43That's mine!
35:44All of it.
35:46She's like, I recognize that clutter.
35:48We have tons of storage now.
35:49And we also went as high as we could go.
35:51We did this not only to add some more architecture into the room, but it really, I think, is going
35:56to function well for you.
35:58How did y'all turn my junk into art?
36:01You know, this whole idea of organic, minimalist, there's still things, but your eye lands on
36:06the things that are important now, and it's not kind of distracted by all the noise.
36:10Wow.
36:11I love it.
36:14Oh, my God, it's a swing!
36:16The swing is PVC, Peggy.
36:18Look it.
36:19It's PVC.
36:19Now she's at home.
36:21She's at home with the PVC.
36:23Oh, my gosh.
36:24Is that crazy or what?
36:26It's super strong, and it doesn't block the whole room anymore.
36:29Oh, my gosh.
36:31I can kick the clouds.
36:32You can kick the clouds.
36:34This is how we view you, and we're hoping that this is how you start to view yourself.
36:39Right.
36:40And that this is kind of that change that you wanted and needed.
36:43There's still so much more to see.
36:45Yeah, you ready?
36:48Wow.
36:53It looks so amazing.
36:57Oh, God, this is gorgeous.
36:59You've got your storage.
37:00You've got your drawers.
37:01It kind of matches my office.
37:03Exactly.
37:04Organic, minimalist, that whole vibe of old and new.
37:07Oh, this is a four-year-old dog.
37:09Oh, my God, this is gorgeous.
37:11Is it painted?
37:12Yes.
37:13It's beautiful.
37:14Oh, wow.
37:14This looks so much prettier.
37:16You helped us pick these colors.
37:18Oh, wow.
37:19It's a really beautiful and inexpensive way to add a lot of personality in here.
37:24The tones, I think, are really important in here.
37:27The yellow is really harsh.
37:28And, you know, we just wanted there to be a sense of balance and calm.
37:33It's so peaceful.
37:36Time to take Peggy Lou back.
37:37Okay.
37:39All right, Ms. Peggy Lou.
37:41Well, do you want to see what's right behind here?
37:43Yes, please.
37:44One, two, three.
37:47Look at the floor.
37:51Oh, my God, this is gorgeous.
37:56My pretty shoes have a space.
38:00Oh, wow.
38:01And a stool in your closet, too.
38:03You're such a star now.
38:04Exactly.
38:05This is gorgeous.
38:06If you remember, there was a big, long closet that went all the way to the edge of the tub.
38:12Right.
38:12And so we borrowed a little bit of space from here, added a little bit of space to this,
38:17and we thought, you deserve to have this beautiful, glamorous dressing room.
38:22Wow.
38:23And now it's really a master suite.
38:26Oh, my gosh.
38:28Oh, oh.
38:30This is gorgeous.
38:33It's amazing.
38:35Wow.
38:37This whole bathroom is basically rebuilt from the inside out.
38:40Look at this now.
38:41Oh, my gosh.
38:44Everything is custom.
38:45This is all custom vanity that we had made of old reclaimed wood.
38:48You know, this whole idea of organic minimalist.
38:52Oh, my God, the clothes.
38:53This is all porcelain flooring that looks like wood.
38:56We did it in a chevron for the idea of water and movement and the flow.
39:01You know, just enough texture to give that organic, minimalist vibe.
39:04Wow.
39:06I love this.
39:08You know, now everything is new and fresh and safe and zen-like.
39:12I mean, somebody added a niche without our...
39:16I was like, who needs...
39:17She's not allowed on-site any longer.
39:20Yeah, exactly.
39:22Oh, my God.
39:23It's like a dream bathroom.
39:25I love it.
39:26I think before I was in here...
39:28Okay, I gotta rush out.
39:29Yeah.
39:29Now I can come in here and stay.
39:32This is good feng shui.
39:34I know one of the things that you said was that you felt like you were, like, letting your parents
39:37down.
39:37How do you feel now?
39:39I wish they were here to see it.
39:41They would be very proud.
39:43They would be...
39:44Yeah, they go, Peggy, stay out of DIY.
39:46Don't do anything else.
39:48Just let Nate and Jeremiah do their thing.
39:51Yeah.
39:51This is hopefully going to be a whole new beginning for you.
39:56We've done the new bathroom, a new wardrobe, a new bedroom, a new office.
40:01Yes.
40:02And I'm happy to say we didn't go a dollar over budget.
40:06Oh!
40:08Not one cent.
40:10That's so crazy.
40:11When we came into this space initially, the space felt a little discombobulated and you felt disconnected from it.
40:18Yeah.
40:18Where are you at?
40:19How are you feeling?
40:20I am in awe.
40:21I am in a sense of belonging, a sense of, um, a sense of presence.
40:27This is the power of design.
40:29It's making you feel centered and making you feel like you're finally at home.
40:38We have one last surprise for you.
40:40We did something else without your permission.
40:45Oh, my God!
40:46Oh, my God!
40:48And you still have your swing.
40:50Oh, I love this!
40:52Have a seat.
40:53Try it out.
40:54Here, we can do DIY.
40:56Oh, my God.
40:57This is so nice.
40:59When we spoke to you and you talked about the importance of what this swinging sofa was and what it
41:05meant to you, we wanted to create that moment a little bit better.
41:08I love it.
41:09Thank you for trusting us.
41:11Thank you for coming into my life.
41:13You're very welcome.
41:14The house is just gorgeous.
41:17Before, all my rooms were just really ugly and cluttered.
41:21And now, the harmony that I was seeking, you know, that's what you were looking for.
41:25Thank you for bringing me home.
41:26We wish you the best of luck.
41:28This is where we leave you in your home now.
41:30Why?
41:31We're not done.
41:32We've got other homes we have to still do.
41:34It just flows throughout the house.
41:37It's zen-like.
41:39Yeah.
41:40Thank you so much.
41:42I need another word for amazing.
41:44There's got to be another word for me.
41:46Beyond amazing.
41:48Becky is finally home.
41:49How do you feel?
41:51I feel amazing.
41:52The best thing that Becky said was when she looked at us and said, I finally feel like I belong.
41:57Yeah.
41:59Isn't that what we all just want to feel?
42:01So good.
42:04Before, I didn't feel connected to the house.
42:06I always feel like I have to fix things and try to improve it.
42:10But now, I have a beautiful place and a home that I love.
42:15Now, when I get dressed, it's more fun because I can see everything.
42:18And I love my office with plenty of storage.
42:23And this is the cozy bed and the most gorgeous floors I've ever seen.
42:30Thank you so much, Ney and Jeremiah, for giving me my dream home.
