built the house in the '50s.

I mean, I think
the big thing is

66
00:01:58,382 --> 00:01:59,884
is when my mum's family
                    emily: Oh!

67
00:01:59,886 --> 00:02:02,150
Built the house, they were
       a family of three.

68
00:02:02,152 --> 00:02:04,221
Then, my mum moved in
         with our family

69
00:02:04,223 --> 00:02:05,888
and we were a family of four.

70
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:08,192
And, now, we're living here
       as a family of five

71
00:02:08,194 --> 00:02:11,063
that, we're trying to make
 the same footprint work for us,

72
00:02:11,065 --> 00:02:14,463
but we just need
        to redo the space

73
00:02:14,465 --> 00:02:15,900
to make it
     more functional for us.

74

Are you okay if we take
         a sledgehammer

Fancy terrazzo. That's original.
        -That's original?

86
00:02:40,127 --> 00:02:42,325
This is original,
   from the '50s.

87
00:02:42,327 --> 00:02:44,696
So, my grandfather built
totally unique floors

88
00:02:44,698 --> 00:02:46,629
that I don't think
we could ever replace.

89
00:02:46,631 --> 00:02:48,500
Yeah. So, now,
       what was his trade?

90
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:49,833
We had a bronze
 and steel company.

91
00:02:49,835 --> 00:02:51,866
So that's where things
 like our railings,

92
00:02:51,868 --> 00:02:53,337
like that's what he did.

93
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:54,770
Every time I see them,
    it reminds me

94
00:02:54,772 --> 00:02:56,108
of my grandfather.
            -Oh, wow.

95
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:58,674
That's one of the features
  we wanna preserve

96
00:02:58,676 --> 00:02:59,908
to keep
 the history there.

97
00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:01,745
I'm also noticing
          a trip hazard

98
00:03:01,747 --> 00:03:02,879
-yep, that's for sure.
-In here.

99
00:03:02,881 --> 00:03:04,416
Actually,
             on both sides, too.

100
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:05,549
And it's deceiving
                  over here

101
00:03:05,551 --> 00:03:07,449
'cause you don't really
            see it on this side.

102
00:03:07,451 --> 00:03:10,187
So,<i> this</i>
           is quite the kitchen.

103
00:03:10,189 --> 00:03:12,120
You can tell that there
     have been updates done here

104
00:03:12,122 --> 00:03:13,657
because this is not
              how these houses

105
00:03:13,659 --> 00:03:14,791
were originally
                  laid out.

106
00:03:14,793 --> 00:03:17,128
That's right. This used
to be a wall right here

107
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:18,262
and there used to be
   our dining room

108
00:03:18,264 --> 00:03:19,995
that was right here
and we removed the wall,

109
00:03:19,997 --> 00:03:22,066
just to open this up
   so we can enjoy

110
00:03:22,068 --> 00:03:24,699
the view at the back.
       -Which is amazing.

111
00:03:24,701 --> 00:03:26,503
The only problem I see
              for the view is,

112
00:03:26,505 --> 00:03:28,070
if you're drew
               and my height,

113
00:03:28,072 --> 00:03:29,141
you can't see anything

114
00:03:29,143 --> 00:03:30,807
if you're working here
                in the range.

115
00:03:30,809 --> 00:03:32,107
I mean, it's probably
                 fine for --

116
00:03:32,109 --> 00:03:33,211
-it's good for us.
       -I have no problem.

117
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:34,711
I'm just right here,
           doing that.

118
00:03:34,713 --> 00:03:35,978
You know what?
That's why I stay away

119
00:03:35,980 --> 00:03:38,015
from that area.
        -Yes. Good point.

120
00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:40,582
There is so much potential
              in this kitchen,

121
00:03:40,584 --> 00:03:41,986
but this is
               taking up a lot

122
00:03:41,988 --> 00:03:43,886
of your perimeter
                 footprint.

123
00:03:43,888 --> 00:03:44,953
-Right.
       -Yeah, absolutely.

124
00:03:44,955 --> 00:03:46,824
This is where we've had
        some big issues.

125
00:03:46,826 --> 00:03:48,357
They're leaking
       in the wintertime.

126
00:03:48,359 --> 00:03:50,994
So this whole setup here
        needs to change,

127
00:03:50,996 --> 00:03:53,328
but what we love is
      we love the lighting.

128
00:03:53,330 --> 00:03:55,498
If you wanted to get rid
              of obstructions,

129
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:56,732
like your vent hood,
              that's over here,

130
00:03:56,734 --> 00:03:57,936
and kick it to the side,

131
00:03:57,938 --> 00:03:59,269
one of the natural
             things would be...

132
00:03:59,271 --> 00:04:00,869
To get rid of these old,
          leaky windows

133
00:04:00,871 --> 00:04:02,540
and either replace them
          with new ones

134
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,440
and add some cabinetry
       storage underneath,

135
00:04:04,442 --> 00:04:06,411
or we could go big
         and add a wall

136
00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:07,677
of glass-folding doors

137
00:04:07,679 --> 00:04:09,277
that would lead out
        to a front patio.

138
00:04:09,279 --> 00:04:10,881
And that would actually
              allow you to have

139
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:11,915
an island, too.

140
00:04:11,917 --> 00:04:13,015
-That's very interesting.
          -Absolutely.

141
00:04:13,017 --> 00:04:14,519
-That would be amazing.
        -Good idea. Yeah.

142
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:16,419
When I was growing up, this is
 where we spent all of our time.

143
00:04:16,421 --> 00:04:19,356
My sister and I used to dance
     around in the kitchen,

144
00:04:19,358 --> 00:04:21,790
driving my mom crazy
   when she was making dinner,

145
00:04:21,792 --> 00:04:25,160
so I love this space.
        It's all I know,

146
00:04:25,162 --> 00:04:27,931
but I'd really be excited
     to have it modernized.

147
00:04:27,933 --> 00:04:29,798
I think it is
               pretty amazing

148
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,902
that you have
         generations of memories

149
00:04:31,904 --> 00:04:34,002
of holidays and birthdays
            and everything here.

150
00:04:34,004 --> 00:04:36,006
Now, you guys can pass
           that on to your kids.

151
00:04:36,008 --> 00:04:37,539
That's right.
That would be amazing.

152
00:04:37,541 --> 00:04:38,910
Now, what about this side
          of the house?

153
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:40,310
Tell us
      what you think here.

154
00:04:40,312 --> 00:04:41,943
Yes, well the living room
  and dining room,

155
00:04:41,945 --> 00:04:43,614
we love this space
   because it gets

156
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,181
a lot of awesome light
coming in during the day,

157
00:04:46,183 --> 00:04:47,252
but it's just
    it seems like

158
00:04:47,254 --> 00:04:48,385
a bit of a missed
    opportunity.

159
00:04:48,387 --> 00:04:49,585
We have a big couch here,
which seems --

160
00:04:49,587 --> 00:04:51,022
oh, this is big?
    I noticed it

161
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:52,589
from across the street.

162
00:04:52,591 --> 00:04:54,089
Nicole: [ laughing ]
     it's like a black hole.

163
00:04:54,091 --> 00:04:55,893
It's eating up the house.

164
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:57,326
I'd love to show you
 some configurations

165
00:04:57,328 --> 00:04:58,593
that would make this
  a little bit more

166
00:04:58,595 --> 00:05:00,097
of an elegant space,
    where you sit

167
00:05:00,099 --> 00:05:01,797
and talk to each other
    as a family.

168
00:05:01,799 --> 00:05:02,797
Absolutely.

169
00:05:02,799 --> 00:05:04,568
Do you like the fireplace?

170
00:05:04,570 --> 00:05:07,239
He hates it,
        but I love the fireplace

171
00:05:07,241 --> 00:05:08,239
because, again,
                it goes back

172
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:09,239
to the history
of the home.

173
00:05:09,241 --> 00:05:10,472
Like that's
               my grandfather.

174
00:05:10,474 --> 00:05:12,576
All of the masonry
              was what he did.

175
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:15,109
I think it can be easily
    improved and modernized.

176
00:05:15,111 --> 00:05:17,547
The style of the
   brick is fine.

177
00:05:17,549 --> 00:05:18,880
We could paint it out.

178
00:05:18,882 --> 00:05:19,951
We could change
    the shelves.

179
00:05:19,953 --> 00:05:21,351
There's a bunch of stuff
  that we could do

180
00:05:21,353 --> 00:05:22,551
that would allow you
       to keep

181
00:05:22,553 --> 00:05:24,488
the original fireplace,
but give it a facelift.

182
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:26,088
Yeah, we'd definitely
                 like that.

183
00:05:26,090 --> 00:05:27,659
-Okay.
-Is there a story
         with the hutch?

184
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:29,859
That's my grandfather
             on the other side,

185
00:05:29,861 --> 00:05:32,463
his hutch, that we really
             would love to keep

186
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:35,030
and have that family
              heirloom in here.

187
00:05:35,032 --> 00:05:36,301
Okay.
    I like that your parents

188
00:05:36,303 --> 00:05:38,601
converted the garage
     into more livable space

189
00:05:38,603 --> 00:05:41,305
and, now, you're using it
  as a family room/kids' space.

190
00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:43,171
I do see a bit of a trip
        hazard over here.

191
00:05:43,173 --> 00:05:45,209
Would you wanna
get rid of that step?

192
00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:46,809
Yeah, that would be nice,
to not have

193
00:05:46,811 --> 00:05:48,180
a tripping hazard
           like that.

194
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:50,180
Oh, wow. So your parents
       actually put the hardwood

195
00:05:50,182 --> 00:05:52,350
in here, too. I love
        the herringbone pattern.

196
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:54,350
Yeah. You know what?
 That was something that my dad

197
00:05:54,352 --> 00:05:56,821
and my mom were really
 passionate about on the floors,

198
00:05:56,823 --> 00:05:58,188
is putting the herringbone in.

199
00:05:58,190 --> 00:05:59,821
I would sand
these floors all down

200
00:05:59,823 --> 00:06:01,392
and just redo them,
    'cause I love

201
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:03,225
the craftsmanship that
went into the herringbone,

202
00:06:03,227 --> 00:06:04,325
but, especially
  in the main area,

203
00:06:04,327 --> 00:06:05,963
you have all these
  different levels.

204
00:06:05,965 --> 00:06:07,496
-Yeah.
             -Yeah.
   -It would be so much nicer

205
00:06:07,498 --> 00:06:09,467
for it to be the same
flooring throughout.

206
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,300
For sure. I think that's
            the tough one for us

207
00:06:11,302 --> 00:06:13,938
is like
          we like this flooring.

208
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,838
It could probably be
               a better color,

209
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:17,208
but in that room
                 over there,

210
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:18,375
it's just so uneven.

211
00:06:18,377 --> 00:06:20,575
-Yeah.
       -I have never seen

212
00:06:20,577 --> 00:06:22,779
a converted garage
      with so much height.

213
00:06:22,781 --> 00:06:24,312
Yeah.
        This is amazing.

214
00:06:24,314 --> 00:06:25,550
It gives an illusion
                 of it being

215
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:27,450
even more
             of a bigger space.

216
00:06:27,452 --> 00:06:29,854
It would be<i> amazing</i>
            if that could happen

217
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:30,854
over there,
             in the other room.

218
00:06:30,856 --> 00:06:32,621
We love the openness
                of this room,

219
00:06:32,623 --> 00:06:34,491
but it definitely needs
              some design help.

220
00:06:34,493 --> 00:06:36,191
Graham:
    This is a very well-used
       room in the house.

221
00:06:36,193 --> 00:06:37,429
The kids love it in here.

222
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:39,262
This is where
         their toys are.

223
00:06:39,264 --> 00:06:40,662
There's kind of stuff
hidden everywhere.

224
00:06:40,664 --> 00:06:42,200
This is the same sort
      of thing

225
00:06:42,202 --> 00:06:43,600
that would be so easy
   to turn around

226
00:06:43,602 --> 00:06:45,537
because you have the
good bones to work with.

227
00:06:45,539 --> 00:06:47,137
So what are you thinking
 for the aesthetic of the home?

228
00:06:47,139 --> 00:06:48,637
I think, as much
               as I love some

229
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,574
of the old characters,

230
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:51,708
for me,
           I love modern design.

231
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:53,711
I like clean lines,
                 open space.

232
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:55,045
Yeah. And I like
        the modern, too,

233
00:06:55,047 --> 00:06:57,916
but I like it balanced
 with a little bit more comfort.

234
00:06:57,918 --> 00:06:59,816
I can tell 'cause you're
wearin' one of my shirts

235
00:06:59,818 --> 00:07:01,549

a little more casual.

236
00:07:01,551 --> 00:07:03,187
-That's right.
     -And you're wearin' one
          of my dresses

237

Perfect. We'll be

00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:18,996
The natural light coming in
is phenomenal.

431
00:13:18,998 --> 00:13:20,329
I love the design.

432
00:13:20,331 --> 00:13:23,566
It's that scandinavian
feel -- clean, modern,

433
00:13:23,568 --> 00:13:25,466
with the nice
     white walls

434
00:13:25,468 --> 00:13:27,537
and I think it incorporates
 also what you like,

435
00:13:27,539 --> 00:13:29,671
is that wooden warmth
   that it brings.

436
00:13:29,673 --> 00:13:32,641
I really like the floors
   and I like the wider style.

437
00:13:32,643 --> 00:13:34,979
I mean, ours is,
        the herringbone,
      a little bit thinner.

438
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:36,612
I think it's more modern
          to go wider.

439
00:13:36,614 --> 00:13:39,216
Wider board is definitely
               more on trend,

440
00:13:39,218 --> 00:13:41,750
but, right now, your floors
are pretty dark.

441
00:13:41,752 --> 00:13:43,387
So you like to have
             that lighter tone?

442
00:13:43,389 --> 00:13:44,754
-Definitely. That nice
             -yeah.

443
00:13:44,756 --> 00:13:46,154
And light and airy.
    It just gives

444
00:13:46,156 --> 00:13:47,991
a real openness
    to the room.

445
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:50,058
I really like the height
            of the ceiling here.

446
00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:51,962
I mean, that's something
            that I always wanted

447
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:54,128
to do in our house
         and so it just makes it

448
00:13:54,130 --> 00:13:55,299
a lot more open
                 and fresh.

449
00:13:55,301 --> 00:13:56,833
Just keep in mind, though,
 vaulting a ceiling,

450
00:13:56,835 --> 00:13:59,170
it looks gorgeous,
but it does cost money.

451
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:00,270
Yeah, and we need
               to be conscious

452
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:01,403
of that.
            -Mm-hmm.

453
00:14:01,405 --> 00:14:03,341
A kitchen is where you
need function, though.

454
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:04,841
And that's where I'm willing
       to spend the money.

455
00:14:04,843 --> 00:14:05,841
-Oh, really?
          -[ chuckle ]

456
00:14:05,843 --> 00:14:07,945
-what do you think?
            -Oh, wow!

457
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:09,912
I really like
           the simplicity of it.

458
00:14:09,914 --> 00:14:11,315
Both: Yeah.
           It's clean.

459
00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:13,149
There's lots
        of storage space.

460
00:14:13,151 --> 00:14:14,182
Amazing.
         -We could have

461
00:14:14,184 --> 00:14:15,686
twice the cabinet
   space as this.

462
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:17,686
-Well, that would be awesome.
        -I really do like

463
00:14:17,688 --> 00:14:19,457
this kitchen,
        how they've incorporated

464
00:14:19,459 --> 00:14:21,357
the two tones.
           It really warms it up

465
00:14:21,359 --> 00:14:24,295
and I think that's probably
       more along what<i> you</i> like.

466
00:14:24,297 --> 00:14:25,495
A little more comfort, yeah.

467
00:14:25,497 --> 00:14:26,995
Yeah, it's a good
          compromise between us.

468
00:14:26,997 --> 00:14:29,099
Hey, if it's done right,
it's a nice designer look.

469
00:14:29,101 --> 00:14:31,165
I have two-tone
in my kitchen as well.

470
00:14:31,167 --> 00:14:32,469
So what do you guys think
  of the countertop

471
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:34,136
and the slab-style
 of the backsplash?

472
00:14:34,138 --> 00:14:35,336
I like, actually,
          having a bit

473
00:14:35,338 --> 00:14:37,673
of a different
       composition, right?

474
00:14:37,675 --> 00:14:39,140
I like having
       a different pattern

475
00:14:39,142 --> 00:14:40,911
on the backsplash
    and not having the same,

476
00:14:40,913 --> 00:14:42,344
but I think it still
        looks beautiful.

477
00:14:42,346 --> 00:14:43,811
Okay.
We'll give you options

478
00:14:43,813 --> 00:14:45,248
and we can put
    an island in

479
00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:46,582
that's three times
  the size of this.

480
00:14:46,584 --> 00:14:48,552
-Fantastic.
    -That really excites me.

481
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,519
Whatever excites you,
           excites me.

482
00:14:50,521 --> 00:14:51,686
-Here we go.
             -Great.

483
00:14:51,688 --> 00:14:53,257
And whatever excites both
of you, excites me.

484
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:54,890
-[ laughter ]
      -why don't we go look
       at the family room?

485
00:14:54,892 --> 00:14:55,923
Let's do it.

♪♪

487
00:14:58,529 --> 00:15:00,665
this house is bigger
               than you think.

488
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:02,198
Yeah, it's beautiful.

489
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,465
Oh.
       Look at the glass.

490

-Yeah. That's really nice.
      -That's really neat.

Yeah,
 look at this room.

492
00:15:05,771 --> 00:15:07,235
Again, the
 beautiful windows,

493
00:15:07,237 --> 00:15:08,535
like what we have
    at our house,

494
00:15:08,537 --> 00:15:09,873
to really open it up.

495
00:15:09,875 --> 00:15:12,040
Your family room is
           way bigger than this,

496
00:15:12,042 --> 00:15:14,444
but what sort of finishes
do you want in there,

497
00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:15,910
as opposed
            to your living room?

498
00:15:15,912 --> 00:15:17,314
I like the modern feel,
           but I like

499
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:19,481
a little bit more comfort
        added in as well,

500
00:15:19,483 --> 00:15:20,781
-yeah.
     -Not necessarily style.

501
00:15:20,783 --> 00:15:22,885
Like if there's some way
 we can mix those two together.

502
00:15:22,887 --> 00:15:24,152
Yeah. 100%.
    Mm-hmm.

503
00:15:24,154 --> 00:15:25,356
Storage is gonna be key.

504
00:15:25,358 --> 00:15:26,989
You don't wanna just
             have open shelves.

505
00:15:26,991 --> 00:15:28,589
I mean, this looks gorgeous,
             but, for you guys,

506
00:15:28,591 --> 00:15:29,893
with all
              the kids' stuff,

507
00:15:29,895 --> 00:15:31,127
closed cabinets
                that can hide

508
00:15:31,129 --> 00:15:32,560
the kids' things
               would be great.

509
00:15:32,562 --> 00:15:33,931
-Yes, for sure.
             -Yeah.

510
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,197
Looking at this room,
   it also really

511
00:15:35,199 --> 00:15:38,602
inspires me for our space
because our space is so big

512
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:40,835
that, when you really
lighten up the floors

513
00:15:40,837 --> 00:15:43,239
and the room,
it's gonna be beautiful.

514
00:15:43,241 --> 00:15:45,006
I will take all
              this information,

515
00:15:45,008 --> 00:15:46,210
give it to jonathan.

516
00:15:46,212 --> 00:15:47,443
He'll come up
       with a couple of options,

517
00:15:47,445 --> 00:15:48,443
but I think
              you're gonna like

518
00:15:48,445 --> 00:15:49,580
the direction we're going.

519
00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:52,214
I'm excited, a little
 anxious and nervous

520
00:15:52,216 --> 00:15:54,018
to see, you know,
  all that history

521
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:55,551
we have in our house
       just --

522
00:15:55,553 --> 00:15:57,185
how are you
       gonna handle this?

523
00:15:57,187 --> 00:15:58,689
-I don't know!
      -Is it gonna be like

524
00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:00,522
an oscar-winning
               moment of tears

525
00:16:00,524 --> 00:16:01,722
or is it gonna be
                 excitement?

526
00:16:01,724 --> 00:16:03,026
I think
  more excitement.

527
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:04,526
-Oh, so you're the crier. Okay.
         -I'm the crier.

528
00:16:04,528 --> 00:16:06,264
-[ laughing ]
   -yeah. Yeah, I thought so.

529
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:08,530
Nicole and graham really love
the features of this house,

530
00:16:08,532 --> 00:16:10,401
but it sounds like keeping
     things light and bright

531
00:16:10,403 --> 00:16:12,201
is the number one priority
         on their list.

532
00:16:12,203 --> 00:16:13,501
They love the light,

533
00:16:13,503 --> 00:16:15,372
large-plank hardwood flooring
      throughout the house

534
00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:17,072
and keeping it clean and simple
         in the kitchen

535
00:16:17,074 --> 00:16:19,242
with two-tone,
  scandinavian-style cabinetry.

536
00:16:19,244 --> 00:16:21,909
Storage for a family of five is
 also important in the kitchen,

537
00:16:21,911 --> 00:16:24,247
and a large island
    for casual family dining.

538
00:16:24,249 --> 00:16:26,113
In the family room, they wanna
add a little more warmth,

539
00:16:26,115 --> 00:16:27,717
with comfortable furniture
          for the kids,

540
00:16:27,719 --> 00:16:29,717
but also, they need
       additional storage

541
00:16:29,719 --> 00:16:31,455
to tuck away toys
     at the end of the day.

Would you have guessed

547
00:16:41,332 --> 00:16:43,400
they want sort of
     a scandinavian design?

548
00:16:43,402 --> 00:16:45,767
It's about as different
as what they had before.

549
00:16:45,769 --> 00:16:47,971
So they just wanna
freshen everything up?

550

They definitely wanna
     freshen everything up.

Get the rest of this
           outta here.

Why don't we look
      at kitchen cabinets?

553
00:16:53,377 --> 00:16:56,679
I like the modern take
 on a shake cabinet.

554
00:16:56,681 --> 00:16:58,113
That's pretty cool.

555
00:16:58,115 --> 00:16:59,217
They're looking at two-tone,
      but they like white,

556
00:16:59,219 --> 00:17:00,450
so this could be the cabinet

557
00:17:00,452 --> 00:17:02,783
for all the
       exterior cabinets.

558
00:17:02,785 --> 00:17:05,521
Something like this
         for the island.

559
00:17:05,523 --> 00:17:07,021
It's up to them.
 Like if they<i> truly</i>

560
00:17:07,023 --> 00:17:09,592
wanna go scandinavian
 and keep it clean,

561
00:17:09,594 --> 00:17:11,729
then they would
  probably wanna go
with a lighter wood.

562
00:17:11,731 --> 00:17:13,829
White kitchens are popular
   because they really create

563
00:17:13,831 --> 00:17:16,933
that clean and timeless look
   that many homeowners want,

564
00:17:16,935 --> 00:17:19,600
but going all-white with the
    cabinets and countertops

565
00:17:19,602 --> 00:17:22,004
and backsplash
       can feel cold, so,

566
00:17:22,006 --> 00:17:24,741
I love to introduce elements
      of wood on the island

567
00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:26,808
or in the range hood
       to ground the space

568
00:17:26,810 --> 00:17:28,912
and just make it feel
  less like a showroom kitchen

569
00:17:28,914 --> 00:17:29,945
and more like a home.

570
00:17:29,947 --> 00:17:32,083
If they are going super,
     super clean

571
00:17:32,085 --> 00:17:33,616
and they wanna go
   white counters,

572
00:17:33,618 --> 00:17:35,749
I would avoid doing

573
00:17:35,751 --> 00:17:37,287
like a whitewash
   on the floors,

574
00:17:37,289 --> 00:17:38,987
so<i> that's</i> where we can
draw the warmth from.

575
00:17:38,989 --> 00:17:40,424
You can see
        these two options

576
00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:42,158
that I brought,
      they're very similar.

577
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,262
What's the difference?

578
00:17:44,264 --> 00:17:47,062
Exactly.
     They love super thick,

579
00:17:47,064 --> 00:17:48,062
so, if we can go
          for something

580
00:17:48,064 --> 00:17:49,266
with a little bit
        more girth to it,

581
00:17:49,268 --> 00:17:50,499
I think they're
        gonna like that.

582
00:17:50,501 --> 00:17:51,499
Then we can match up

583
00:17:51,501 --> 00:17:52,903
the existing herringbone
      to this,

584
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:55,170
but this is what we'll do
in the whole main area.

585
00:17:55,172 --> 00:17:57,174
Everything ties together
and they get some warmth.

586
00:17:57,176 --> 00:17:59,141
Well, it's a tribute
   to her dad<i> and</i> her grandpa,

587
00:17:59,143 --> 00:18:00,911
because they both
          worked on it.

588
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,011
So we've talked about
     everything, except for

589
00:18:03,013 --> 00:18:04,078
-backsplash.
      -Kitchen backsplash.

590
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,216
We shouldn't go too white

591
00:18:05,218 --> 00:18:06,982
over here.
-Yeah. Let's get a little color,

592
00:18:06,984 --> 00:18:08,316
a little bit of warmth,
even if we did something

593
00:18:08,318 --> 00:18:10,620
like this.
I love that pattern.

594
00:18:10,622 --> 00:18:12,753
I like the thin,
        horizontal tiles

595
00:18:12,755 --> 00:18:15,024
because it actually feels
    a little bit more modern,

596
00:18:15,026 --> 00:18:16,157
clean lines as well.

597
00:18:16,159 --> 00:18:17,161
I think they
       would go for that.

598
00:18:17,163 --> 00:18:18,161
Everything will be clean.

599
00:18:18,163 --> 00:18:19,294
This will be
 a beautiful palette

600
00:18:19,296 --> 00:18:21,265
and we'll use the decor
  pieces in the art

601
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:22,399
to punch in
   a little color.

602
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:23,599
Pow!

603
00:18:23,601 --> 00:18:24,765
Both: So.
     You all good with this?

604
00:18:24,767 --> 00:18:26,969
Yeah. I think this
 will look fantastic

605
00:18:26,971 --> 00:18:29,407
and, because I am a kind,
considerate brother,

606
00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:30,973
I will pack this away.

607
00:18:30,975 --> 00:18:32,373
Could you be a kind,
 considerate brother

608
00:18:32,375 --> 00:18:33,411
and help me
with the toilet?

609
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:34,644
No.
              I'll take my bin.

610
00:18:34,646 --> 00:18:35,777
I don't have gloves!

611
00:18:35,779 --> 00:18:37,582
Have fun.
                Neither do I!

612
00:18:37,584 --> 00:18:39,415
Rocco!

613
00:18:39,417 --> 00:18:41,148
Have a look.

614
00:18:41,150 --> 00:18:43,052
After you.

615
00:18:43,054 --> 00:18:44,886
Come on in.

616
00:18:44,888 --> 00:18:46,323
Surprise, surprise!

617
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:47,523
Graham: Oh, wow.

618
00:18:47,525 --> 00:18:49,323
-Oh, my goodness!
      -This is incredible.

619
00:18:55,567 --> 00:18:57,265
Graham: Oh, wow.

620
00:18:57,267 --> 00:18:59,402
-Wow!
          -Oh, jeepers.

621
00:18:59,404 --> 00:19:00,702
Oh, my goodness!

622
00:19:00,704 --> 00:19:02,740
This is incredible.
     It's hard to visualize

623
00:19:02,742 --> 00:19:03,840
what was actually here
           before now.

624
00:19:03,842 --> 00:19:04,873
You had the vent hood

625
00:19:04,875 --> 00:19:06,373
that was over here
                coming down.

626
00:19:06,375 --> 00:19:08,211
It's amazing. I mean,
      this is a big change.

627
00:19:08,213 --> 00:19:09,977
You can see right up
                to the attic.

628
00:19:09,979 --> 00:19:11,881
-Yeah.
 -That's a lotta space up there.
         -That's crazy.

629
00:19:11,883 --> 00:19:13,015
I do wanna talk to you
                 about some

630
00:19:13,017 --> 00:19:14,181
of the other stuff
               that we found.

631
00:19:14,183 --> 00:19:15,185
Okay.

632
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:17,285
Discovered why
                the flooring

633
00:19:17,287 --> 00:19:19,023
was raised up here.

634
00:19:19,025 --> 00:19:20,056
-Okay.
           -Wow, okay.

635
00:19:20,058 --> 00:19:22,356
Turns out there's
              an original tile

636
00:19:22,358 --> 00:19:23,527
underneath here

637
00:19:23,529 --> 00:19:26,160
and they just went right
over it with new plywood

638
00:19:26,162 --> 00:19:27,931
before they laid
              their new floors,

639
00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:30,898
which usually means,
           if they encapsulated,

640
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:32,668
it means it's asbestos.

641
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:35,806
This size of tile,

642
00:19:35,808 --> 00:19:39,477
99.9% of the time,
                is asbestos.

643
00:19:39,479 --> 00:19:42,710
-Uh-oh.
   -We are 0.01% of the time,

644
00:19:42,712 --> 00:19:45,247
because we tested it
         and it is not asbestos.

645
00:19:45,249 --> 00:19:47,552
-Oh.
            -Amazing!
          -Whoo! Yeah.

646
00:19:47,554 --> 00:19:48,685
-Thank god.
       -Which is actually

647
00:19:48,687 --> 00:19:49,685
a great thing.
       -That's good news.

648
00:19:49,687 --> 00:19:51,018
So, your subfloor,
that's level

649
00:19:51,020 --> 00:19:52,389
with the rest
                of the room,

650
00:19:52,391 --> 00:19:55,422
actually goes<i> all</i> the way
             out to the window.

651
00:19:55,424 --> 00:19:57,526
There is no bump-up
            where the porch was,

652
00:19:57,528 --> 00:19:59,260
or anything like that.
             It's all one level,

653
00:19:59,262 --> 00:20:00,664
which means we<i> can</i>
              get your flooring

654
00:20:00,666 --> 00:20:01,664
to one level.

655
00:20:01,666 --> 00:20:02,730
-Nice!
            -Amazing.

656
00:20:02,732 --> 00:20:04,135
-That's great news.
        -That's so good.

657
00:20:04,137 --> 00:20:06,335
It's sad to see
that nice flooring go,

658
00:20:06,337 --> 00:20:08,039
but, I'm starting
     to imagine

659
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:09,205
the possibilities here.

660
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:11,272
Well, we have
            a couple of options,

661
00:20:11,274 --> 00:20:13,676
but I think you're gonna
       have a hard time choosing

662
00:20:13,678 --> 00:20:15,876
between option 1
                and option 2.

663
00:20:15,878 --> 00:20:17,113
Oh, no. [ laughs ]

664
00:20:17,115 --> 00:20:18,113
bring it on.
     Let's see.

665
00:20:18,115 --> 00:20:19,847
Alright.
                 Option 1...

666
00:20:19,849 --> 00:20:22,818
We'll give you the updated
 floors you have always wanted.

667
00:20:22,820 --> 00:20:25,122
Then, we'll address one
   of your biggest concerns --

668
00:20:25,124 --> 00:20:26,622
those leaky front windows.

669
00:20:26,624 --> 00:20:28,959
We'll create a dormer, so you
   can replace the old windows

670
00:20:28,961 --> 00:20:30,292
with high-efficiency ones.

671
00:20:30,294 --> 00:20:32,897
You'll still have all that
     natural light you love

672
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:34,397
and gain space underneath

673
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:36,667
for the additional storage
       your family needs.

674
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:39,101
We'll continue those cabinets
     around the entire wall,

675
00:20:39,103 --> 00:20:40,667
add beautiful quartz counters,

676
00:20:40,669 --> 00:20:42,705
and finish off the space
       with a large island

677
00:20:42,707 --> 00:20:45,342
with a place to eat casual
     family meals together.

678
00:20:45,344 --> 00:20:47,175
In the living room,
         we'll modernize

679
00:20:47,177 --> 00:20:48,842
the original fireplace
          grandpa built

680
00:20:48,844 --> 00:20:50,546
with a new,
solid-wood mantle.

681
00:20:50,548 --> 00:20:53,217
Then, we'll say bye-bye
    to your massive sectional

682
00:20:53,219 --> 00:20:56,017
and add new, comfy furniture
       that actually fits.

683
00:20:56,019 --> 00:20:58,154
This will be the perfect place
     for family and friends

684
00:20:58,156 --> 00:20:59,621
to hang out by the fire.

685
00:20:59,623 --> 00:21:01,121
And, since you have
      such a gorgeous view

686
00:21:01,123 --> 00:21:02,525
outside the back window,

687
00:21:02,527 --> 00:21:03,958
let's take advantage of it

688
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,663
by moving your
       dining table here.

689
00:21:05,665 --> 00:21:07,663
Now, you can enjoy
     your beautiful backyard

690
00:21:07,665 --> 00:21:08,896
at every meal.

691
00:21:08,898 --> 00:21:10,067
-Wow.
      -Sounds pretty great.

692
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:11,800
Yeah. Number one,
I think it'd be great

693
00:21:11,802 --> 00:21:13,571
to get rid of the
tripping hazard here

694
00:21:13,573 --> 00:21:15,071
in the flooring
and clean that up a bit.

695
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:17,004
It'd also be great
       to have

696
00:21:17,006 --> 00:21:18,175
kind of a nice,
   flowing kitchen

697
00:21:18,177 --> 00:21:20,042
with seating
for everybody to enjoy.

698
00:21:20,044 --> 00:21:21,712
Yeah.
             The other change --

699
00:21:21,714 --> 00:21:23,912
in the playroom, we'll keep
     the herringbone floors

700
00:21:23,914 --> 00:21:26,783
and refinish them to match the
 new hardwood in the main space.

701
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,483
Then, we'll freshen up
      the rest of the room

702
00:21:28,485 --> 00:21:30,720
with new lighting
   and kid-friendly furniture.

703
00:21:30,722 --> 00:21:33,087
Because this is the
  most-used space in the house,

704
00:21:33,089 --> 00:21:35,325
you'll need tons of storage
        for all the toys,

705
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:36,891
books, and school supplies.

706
00:21:36,893 --> 00:21:38,995
Now, you'll have room
  to tuck all the clutter away

707
00:21:38,997 --> 00:21:41,062
when the kids go to bed
    or when guests are over.

708
00:21:41,064 --> 00:21:42,299
Sounds nice.

709
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,333
Sounds pretty clean
            and open.

710
00:21:44,335 --> 00:21:46,637
It'll be so great
         for our family,

711
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:48,970
our kids to be running
           around in.

712
00:21:48,972 --> 00:21:50,374
One thing we also wanna
    make sure we're doing --

713
00:21:50,376 --> 00:21:52,241
you're gonna have
this beautiful, new space,

714
00:21:52,243 --> 00:21:54,174
but we wanna cherish all
   the stuff that your dad did

715
00:21:54,176 --> 00:21:57,212
and that your grandpa did,
       so, the fireplace;

716
00:21:57,214 --> 00:21:58,816
the terrazzo in the front;

717
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,716
the hardwood, the herringbone
       in the family room,

718
00:22:00,718 --> 00:22:02,182
these are all things
         that are a way

719
00:22:02,184 --> 00:22:03,953
to pay tribute
    to what your family did.

720
00:22:03,955 --> 00:22:06,053
Yeah. And, for me --
         and you, too --

721
00:22:06,055 --> 00:22:08,457
that's the best, is to be able
     to mix the old and new.

722
00:22:08,459 --> 00:22:10,657
We're so excited to do that.
             -Yeah.

723
00:22:10,659 --> 00:22:14,361
So, option 1
would take 8 weeks

724
00:22:14,363 --> 00:22:18,399
and it would cost
                  $160,000.

725
00:22:18,401 --> 00:22:19,870
-Okay.
       -So, not your max.

726
00:22:19,872 --> 00:22:22,036
It's a lotta money,
    I think, but,

727
00:22:22,038 --> 00:22:23,407
I think it'll do
the family really well --

728
00:22:23,409 --> 00:22:24,707
I mean, look at her,
        smiling already.

729
00:22:24,709 --> 00:22:26,507
-[ laughing ]
          -new kitchen.

730
00:22:26,509 --> 00:22:28,344
-I know.
  -So what's the other option?

731
00:22:28,346 --> 00:22:29,411
Oh, straight
                to business.

732
00:22:29,413 --> 00:22:30,411
-You bet.
       -Alright. [ clap ]

733
00:22:30,413 --> 00:22:31,482
option 2 would have
                  the same

734
00:22:31,484 --> 00:22:32,582
beautiful, big kitchen,

735
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:34,249
same new window
                on the front.

736
00:22:34,251 --> 00:22:36,653
In fact, a lot of the
          aesthetic is the same,

737
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:38,486
including those
              hardwood floors.

738
00:22:38,488 --> 00:22:39,723
The biggest
              difference is...

739
00:22:39,725 --> 00:22:41,423
With the extra room
      we discovered above,

740
00:22:41,425 --> 00:22:43,390
we can raise the ceiling
           by two feet

741
00:22:43,392 --> 00:22:44,894
all throughout this main space

742
00:22:44,896 --> 00:22:47,661
and create that gorgeous
   tray ceiling graham loves.

743
00:22:47,663 --> 00:22:49,098
Then, in the kitchen,
        we'll give a nod

744
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,665
to those original terrazzo
      floors in the hallway

745
00:22:51,667 --> 00:22:53,902
and install a custom
       terrazzo countertop

746
00:22:53,904 --> 00:22:55,402
in a complementary design.

747
00:22:55,404 --> 00:22:58,140
We'll keep the same modern
      cabinets as option 1,

748
00:22:58,142 --> 00:23:00,010
but reduce the size
          of the island

749
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:02,577
to make room for a new,
    super-sized dining table.

750
00:23:02,579 --> 00:23:03,877
Wow, that sounds great.

751
00:23:03,879 --> 00:23:05,381
I think that's
       a really cool idea,

752
00:23:05,383 --> 00:23:07,815
of incorporating
    the terrazzo floor there

753
00:23:07,817 --> 00:23:08,852
onto the counter.

754
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:10,252
But it comes
  at a cost, right?

755
00:23:10,254 --> 00:23:11,685
It does come at a cost.

756
00:23:11,687 --> 00:23:15,156
Option 2 would take
              the same 8 weeks,

757
00:23:15,158 --> 00:23:16,323
but option 2
                would come in

758
00:23:16,325 --> 00:23:18,294
a little bit higher,

759
00:23:18,296 --> 00:23:20,864
at $175,000.

760
00:23:20,866 --> 00:23:22,498
It would be
              pretty expensive

761
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,131
to vault the ceiling
                   in here

762
00:23:24,133 --> 00:23:26,468
and then also, the custom
           work for the terrazzo

763
00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:28,468
and the backsplash
             is expensive, too.

764
00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:30,239
So, mainly your living
            room and dining room

765
00:23:30,241 --> 00:23:31,639
that would swap places.

766
00:23:31,641 --> 00:23:33,943
Okay.
       I do like the idea

767
00:23:33,945 --> 00:23:36,710
of having a huge
       dining room table.

768
00:23:36,712 --> 00:23:37,947
We are a family of five.

769
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:39,781
We bring family over
          all the time.

770
00:23:39,783 --> 00:23:41,351
Yeah, and the height
  would be amazing.

771
00:23:41,353 --> 00:23:42,451
You know,
 I've always wanted

772
00:23:42,453 --> 00:23:43,851
to be able
 to have a higher --

773
00:23:43,853 --> 00:23:44,918
more space in here

774
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,155
and have more
 elevated ceilings,

775
00:23:46,157 --> 00:23:48,389
so that's a compelling
option for me as well.

776
00:23:48,391 --> 00:23:50,826
What do you think?

777
00:23:50,828 --> 00:23:52,726
I don't know.

778
00:23:52,728 --> 00:23:53,864
You look like frozen.

779
00:23:53,866 --> 00:23:55,164
You look like a deer
       in the headlights.

780
00:23:55,166 --> 00:23:56,497
"aah! What do I do?"

781
00:23:56,499 --> 00:23:57,701
"I don't wanna make
               the decision."

782
00:23:57,703 --> 00:23:59,001
"well, I don't wanna
             make the decision."

783
00:23:59,003 --> 00:24:01,001
maybe we should call her mom
    and she gets a vote, too.

784
00:24:01,003 --> 00:24:03,039
[ laughter ]

785
00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:04,705
I think I would go
   with option 1,

786
00:24:04,707 --> 00:24:06,543
mainly because it's,
      you know,

787
00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:08,276
fits in our budget.
It's a little bit cheaper,

788
00:24:08,278 --> 00:24:10,613
but it also gets
 a lot of the things
that we're looking for.

789
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:12,147
Yeah.
        I like the idea,

790
00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:14,284
if we put our dining room
        over in the back,

791
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:16,384
we can have a bigger kitchen,
         which is really

792
00:24:16,386 --> 00:24:17,384
where we spend most
           of our time

793
00:24:17,386 --> 00:24:19,055
in this area,
       is in the kitchen.

794
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:20,622
Yeah. And we still get
to maintain the history

795
00:24:20,624 --> 00:24:21,788
of the home
  and we still get

796
00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:23,959
a big room there for the
kids and the family.

797
00:24:23,961 --> 00:24:26,263
So it feels to me like
  you're both on the same page,

798
00:24:26,265 --> 00:24:28,296
so let's hear it.
       What's it gonna be?

799
00:24:28,298 --> 00:24:29,730
Well, I think we're goin'
   with option 1.

800
00:24:29,732 --> 00:24:30,934
Option 1!
                         Okay!

801
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:32,434
Both were beautiful options.

802
00:24:32,436 --> 00:24:34,971
I honestly think you're gonna
 love what we do with the house.

803
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:38,171
For my entire life, the house
   has stayed the exact same,

804
00:24:38,173 --> 00:24:40,909
so now that pretty much
  everything has gone in there,

805
00:24:40,911 --> 00:24:43,513
it makes some of the things
      that were left behind

806
00:24:43,515 --> 00:24:45,779
even more special,
       like the fireplace,

807
00:24:45,781 --> 00:24:47,184
the terrazzo floors,

808
00:24:47,186 --> 00:24:50,821
those elements that really
   have family history to us.

809
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:56,125
♪♪

810
00:24:56,127 --> 00:24:57,725
alright, salvaging.

811
00:24:57,727 --> 00:24:59,229
Okay.

812
00:24:59,231 --> 00:25:00,862
This is
            what I could salvage

813
00:25:00,864 --> 00:25:02,129
from all
            the old herringbone.

814
00:25:02,131 --> 00:25:04,067
Yeah, that's fine, 'cause I
    was thinking of doing --

815
00:25:04,069 --> 00:25:05,433
oh, hold on. Hold on,
                  hold on.

816
00:25:05,435 --> 00:25:07,504
I think I know what you
are planning on doing.

817
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:10,071
Are you planning on using
              the old hardwood

818
00:25:10,073 --> 00:25:11,908
to frame out
             the old wallpaper?

819
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:13,741
Correct.
       During demolition,

820
00:25:13,743 --> 00:25:16,512
when she looked at this,
    I saw how nicole lit up.

821
00:25:16,514 --> 00:25:19,350
So, what if we did
      something, you know,

822
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:23,316
kinda along the lines
          of like this,

823
00:25:23,318 --> 00:25:27,287
but then actually build up
       around it as well?

824
00:25:27,289 --> 00:25:28,758
Oh, you're creating
              almost like a bit

825
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,791
of a herringbone look

826
00:25:29,793 --> 00:25:30,958
-yeah.
         -To the frame.

827
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,762
I want it to be a nod
       to the herringbone,

828
00:25:32,764 --> 00:25:36,599
but I also want it to just be
    a cool piece of wall art.

829
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:38,233
And then,
     once I sand it down...

830
00:25:38,235 --> 00:25:39,433
That's really cool.

831
00:25:39,435 --> 00:25:41,470
...Clean it up,
   and have probably the clock

832
00:25:41,472 --> 00:25:42,803
right in the middle of that,

833
00:25:42,805 --> 00:25:45,141
I think it would be a throwback
      cool piece of decor.

834
00:25:45,143 --> 00:25:46,374
-Well played.
              -Huh?

835
00:25:46,376 --> 00:25:47,474
You know what?
                  I think,

836
00:25:47,476 --> 00:25:48,578
when you get married,
                  one day,

837
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:49,678
doing little things
                  like this

838
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,845
is gonna make you the
            husband of the year.

839
00:25:50,847 --> 00:25:52,182
-Brownie points. Brownie points.
        -In the meantime,

840
00:25:52,184 --> 00:25:53,649
I get brownie points
            from the homeowners.

841
00:25:53,651 --> 00:25:56,353
I love preserving as much
 history from a house as we can.

842
00:25:56,355 --> 00:25:57,820
All these features
          tell a story

843
00:25:57,822 --> 00:25:59,720
about the people
      who lived here before

844
00:25:59,722 --> 00:26:01,991
and I think nicole
   will especially appreciate

845
00:26:01,993 --> 00:26:03,324
that this is a piece
        of her childhood

846
00:26:03,326 --> 00:26:04,595
we're putting
       in her new kitchen.

847
00:26:04,597 --> 00:26:05,628
I think
it's a great idea.

848
00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:07,128
I mean, linda and I,
                in our house,

849
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:08,899
we took pictures
            of the old wallpaper

850
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:11,465
and then printed fabric
              with that pattern

851
00:26:11,467 --> 00:26:13,069
and created throw pillows
         for linda's craft room.

852
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:14,236
It's still one of her
             favorite features.

853
00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:17,939
Although some areas of this home

854
00:26:17,941 --> 00:26:20,010
have been renovated since it
     was built in the '50s,

855
00:26:20,012 --> 00:26:22,376
there are other areas
  that have yet to be updated,

856
00:26:22,378 --> 00:26:24,214
including all the electrical.

857

1024

             best for that room,

1026

And it passes my
    number one rule, which is

1030
00:32:05,524 --> 00:32:07,588
sofas need to be so comfy
   that you would sleep on it.

1031

And you can get away
   with some darker pieces too

1032
00:32:09,728 --> 00:32:12,226
because it's such a big room.
       So let's grab that.

1033
00:32:12,228 --> 00:32:14,230
And then what about some
     of the accent seating?

1034

It's a family room.
      It's a casual space.

    -Sometimes you just want

Something like
this storage ottoman,

1038

I think could work.

1039
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:24,438
I think it speaks
                 to the true

1040
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,009

And then, I guess, in there,
 we're gonna need some lighting.

1045
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:36,817
So I think we have
             such high ceilings

1046
00:32:36,819 --> 00:32:38,554

            functional lighting,

1047

that I think we have
the opportunity

1048
00:32:40,656 --> 00:32:42,592
to bring in something
               that's a little
               more oversized,

1049
00:32:42,594 --> 00:32:43,592

       of those ceilings,

1053
00:32:49,665 --> 00:32:51,967
all of a sudden,

we can go grand.
         We can be big.

1141
00:35:33,828 --> 00:35:35,564
You know what they say,
"all things come back
     in style."

1142
00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:37,797
we just maybe helped
these a little bit more.

1143
00:35:37,799 --> 00:35:39,001
-Ah!
 -The paint turned out amazing.

1144
00:35:39,003 --> 00:35:40,668
It really did.
      All the work is done

1145
00:35:40,670 --> 00:35:43,172
and I think it's time
      to reveal this house.

1146
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:44,439
Hands down.

1147
00:35:44,441 --> 00:35:47,143
[ laughter ]
so bad.

1148
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,243
The house has changed

1149
00:35:48,245 --> 00:35:49,243
and the weather's
      changed.

1150
00:35:49,245 --> 00:35:50,447
I'm nervous to see

1151
00:35:50,449 --> 00:35:51,547
what's inside here.

1152
00:35:51,549 --> 00:35:54,147
Oh, my goodness!
       This is incredible!

1153
00:35:56,620 --> 00:35:57,652
The weather has changed,
but, more importantly,

1154
00:35:57,654 --> 00:35:58,885
the house has changed.
           -[ laughs ]

1155

-look at the windows!
            -Oh, wow.

1156
00:36:00,191 --> 00:36:01,422
These are amazing!

1157
00:36:01,424 --> 00:36:03,056
I'm nervous to see
               what's inside.

1158
00:36:03,058 --> 00:36:04,127
Get in there.

Oh, my goodness!

00:36:05,662 --> 00:36:07,193
This is incredible!

   -I don't even recognize it.

1163
00:36:11,566 --> 00:36:12,601
This is amazing!

1164
00:36:12,603 --> 00:36:16,572
It's huge
       and open and light.

1165
00:36:16,574 --> 00:36:18,172
This is a good kitchen.

1166
00:36:18,174 --> 00:36:20,043
Graham:
    An unbelievable kitchen.

1167
00:36:20,045 --> 00:36:21,810
Everything
           we could've imagined.

1168
00:36:21,812 --> 00:36:24,414
My grandfather
                would just be

1169
00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:26,780
so thrilled
              to see the house

1170
00:36:26,782 --> 00:36:29,151
that he had
              originally built

1171
00:36:29,153 --> 00:36:32,855
has turned into such
               a modern house,

1172
00:36:32,857 --> 00:36:36,559
that his granddaughter
             and great-grandkids

1173
00:36:36,561 --> 00:36:39,126
are now using as the
         center of their family.

1174
00:36:39,128 --> 00:36:41,330
This is so special.

1175
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:43,463
The windows!
                 Incredible!

1176
00:36:43,465 --> 00:36:45,001
-I couldn't even --
        -that is so hard

1177
00:36:45,003 --> 00:36:47,868
to envision
          what it used to be now

1178
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:49,238
and what it's become.

1179
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,905
You guys don't seem quite
          as tall in this space.

00:36:51,907 --> 00:36:52,976
[ laughter ]

1181
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:54,942
well, this also gives you

1182
00:36:54,944 --> 00:36:56,242
<i> all</i> this extra storage.

1183
00:36:56,244 --> 00:36:58,013
This was kind of
              dead space before

1184
00:36:58,015 --> 00:37:00,180
and, now, it's such
              functional space.

1185
00:37:00,182 --> 00:37:01,784
Wow! I mean,
               this is exactly

1186
00:37:01,786 --> 00:37:03,184
what I was hoping for.

1187
00:37:03,186 --> 00:37:04,551
I'm overwhelmed by it.
[ laughs ]

1188
00:37:04,553 --> 00:37:06,355
it's gorgeous.
     Look at the countertop!

1189
00:37:06,357 --> 00:37:08,421
This is so beautiful.

1190
00:37:08,423 --> 00:37:11,992
We can all fit
   around this massive island.

1191
00:37:11,994 --> 00:37:13,963
You guys hit this
       right on the mark.

1192
00:37:13,965 --> 00:37:17,634
I really love that
    scandinavian, modern feel

1193
00:37:17,636 --> 00:37:21,538
and this incorporates it
       and it warms it up.

1194
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:23,004
Jonathan:
   It feels very,
 very contemporary,

1195
00:37:23,006 --> 00:37:24,104
but, at the same time,

1196
00:37:24,106 --> 00:37:25,575
it feels like a family
  would live here.

1197
00:37:25,577 --> 00:37:26,942
I can envision
        all the memories

1198
00:37:26,944 --> 00:37:29,946
that we're gonna be creating,
going forward in here.

1199
00:37:29,948 --> 00:37:31,379
'cause, yeah, before,
                the peninsula

1200
00:37:31,381 --> 00:37:32,446
was actually
             a bit of a divide.

1201
00:37:32,448 --> 00:37:33,579
Now, it just
               flows so nice.

1202
00:37:33,581 --> 00:37:35,050
We all feel like
                 we're part

1203
00:37:35,052 --> 00:37:36,850
of the same room, now,
            which is phenomenal.

1204
00:37:36,852 --> 00:37:38,521
And, I mean, this floor
            really is beautiful.

1205
00:37:38,523 --> 00:37:41,221
When you look at it,
               it's the nice,
                 wide plank.

1206
00:37:41,223 --> 00:37:44,891
As amazing as the old floor
   was, with all the history,

1207
00:37:44,893 --> 00:37:49,462
this is just so much more
  modern and light and bright.

1208
00:37:49,464 --> 00:37:51,133
I think these are all
 the little touches

1209
00:37:51,135 --> 00:37:52,133
that the house needed

1210
00:37:52,135 --> 00:37:53,800
to make it feel
   fresh and new,

1211
00:37:53,802 --> 00:37:56,570
but then, you still have
  all the memories.

1212
00:37:56,572 --> 00:38:00,408
Oh! Those are all the
    pictures over the years!

1213
00:38:00,410 --> 00:38:02,041
That picture is so special,

1214
00:38:02,043 --> 00:38:04,445
my mum on her wedding day,
      with my grandfather,

1215
00:38:04,447 --> 00:38:06,549
who was the one that built
       this house, right?

1216
00:38:06,551 --> 00:38:08,449
And that's the main reason
        why we love this,

1217
00:38:08,451 --> 00:38:11,020
is the history that he
created in the house.

1218
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:13,620
This is just incredible.
     -In a house, we love it

1219
00:38:13,622 --> 00:38:15,058
when you have pieces
          that are just

1220
00:38:15,060 --> 00:38:16,658
conversation pieces.
         So you come in,

1221
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:18,358
you can tell people about
   your family and your story.

1222
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,562
Over here, this hutch has been
   in your family for decades.

1223
00:38:21,564 --> 00:38:23,666
That is such
              a beautiful job,

1224
00:38:23,668 --> 00:38:24,932
refinishing, you know,

1225
00:38:24,934 --> 00:38:27,670
something that was old
             and in the family.

1226
00:38:27,672 --> 00:38:29,970
And then, my eyes went
              over next to it,

1227
00:38:29,972 --> 00:38:32,474
where that's our old
              kitchen wallpaper

1228
00:38:32,476 --> 00:38:34,241
-that's your old wallpaper.
         -And the floor!

1229
00:38:34,243 --> 00:38:36,478
Jonathan took some
        of the extra floorboards

1230
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,445
graham: [ laughs ]
                and turned it
            into a piece of art,

1231
00:38:38,447 --> 00:38:40,049
something as a little
           tribute to the house.

1232
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:41,149
Oh, that's amazing.

1233
00:38:41,151 --> 00:38:42,782
That's beautiful.
     -That's really special.

1234
00:38:42,784 --> 00:38:45,486
That like incorporates
      the history over time

1235
00:38:45,488 --> 00:38:48,157
and then, now, we have this
    great, new, modern space.

1236
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:49,590
And also,
             big family dinners.

1237
00:38:49,592 --> 00:38:51,124
You need a great dining space.
        Graham: Oh, wow.

1238
00:38:51,126 --> 00:38:52,761
Nicole:
          It's amazing.

1239
00:38:52,763 --> 00:38:55,161
I love how you
       arranged the table,

1240
00:38:55,163 --> 00:38:56,498
that it makes it feel
            like it's

1241
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:59,736
such a spacious area
         for our family.

1242
00:38:59,738 --> 00:39:02,969
Before, we felt pretty crammed
     in the dining space...

1243
00:39:02,971 --> 00:39:04,473
-Yeah.
      -...But this is just

1244
00:39:04,475 --> 00:39:06,173
really open and big!

1245
00:39:06,175 --> 00:39:08,877
We're gonna spend a lotta time
    at this table. [ laughs ]

1246
00:39:08,879 --> 00:39:09,944
oh, does that mean
    I have to go

1247
00:39:09,946 --> 00:39:11,111
get her a drink or something?
             -Yeah.

1248
00:39:11,113 --> 00:39:12,915
You're the chef.
     -I'm ready. I'm ready.

1249
00:39:12,917 --> 00:39:15,515
Jonathan:
          And I love that we can
             preserve that view,

1250
00:39:15,517 --> 00:39:17,252
but give you so much
           more function inside.

1251
00:39:17,254 --> 00:39:19,152
This is what
 this is all about.

1252
00:39:19,154 --> 00:39:20,790
You can have
             a family meal here,

1253
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:22,623
fire roaring over here.

1254
00:39:22,625 --> 00:39:25,427
This is perfect, the setup
       with the furniture.

1255
00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:28,194
It's just such
    a nice conversation zone

1256
00:39:28,196 --> 00:39:30,931
for when we're entertaining
our family and friends.

1257
00:39:30,933 --> 00:39:31,898
Yeah, and it's
    subtle, too.

1258
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:32,935
It doesn't interfere
      too much

1259
00:39:32,937 --> 00:39:34,669
into the other space,
   so I think it's

1260
00:39:34,671 --> 00:39:35,835
very well done.

1261
00:39:35,837 --> 00:39:37,973
Yeah, you have great
    walking paths everywhere.

1262
00:39:37,975 --> 00:39:40,373
-Yeah.
    -Before, you were sort of

1263
00:39:40,375 --> 00:39:41,643
fighting to get
      around the furniture

1264
00:39:41,645 --> 00:39:43,143
for this space.
        -You know, yeah.

1265
00:39:43,145 --> 00:39:44,477
You nailed it.
       Nicole: Absolutely.

1266
00:39:44,479 --> 00:39:46,481
I can't believe
               the fireplace.

1267
00:39:46,483 --> 00:39:48,214
It is absolutely
                  gorgeous.

1268
00:39:48,216 --> 00:39:51,252
It's so modern
and fresh,

1269
00:39:51,254 --> 00:39:55,556
but still has the memories
             of our family here.

1270
00:39:55,558 --> 00:39:57,760
And it has a real mantel,

1271
00:39:57,762 --> 00:40:00,160
as opposed to the little mini
   mantels that it had before.

1272
00:40:00,162 --> 00:40:02,097
That mantel's actually made
      out of the hardwood.

1273
00:40:02,099 --> 00:40:03,197
Oh, the same?
                         Oh!

1274
00:40:03,199 --> 00:40:04,197
That's beautiful.

1275
00:40:04,199 --> 00:40:05,868
But, when you're lookin'
           for space,

1276
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:07,968
it's all
     about that family room.

1277
00:40:07,970 --> 00:40:10,672
-[ laughing ]
        -oh, my goodness!

1278
00:40:10,674 --> 00:40:11,805
Holy!

1279
00:40:11,807 --> 00:40:13,072
Wow!

1280
00:40:13,074 --> 00:40:14,910
Absolutely transformed.

1281
00:40:14,912 --> 00:40:16,010
This is amazing!

1282
00:40:16,012 --> 00:40:18,980
It was such an open room

1283
00:40:18,982 --> 00:40:22,284
that didn't really
have that cozy feel.

1284
00:40:22,286 --> 00:40:23,984
-And look at it now.
         -It's so cozy.

1285
00:40:23,986 --> 00:40:25,218
Wow!
   -This is my favorite room.

1286
00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:26,688
It feels like
               where you guys

1287
00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:29,422
are just gonna have
           <i> so</i> much family time.

1288
00:40:29,424 --> 00:40:31,526
Oh, big-time. Oh, wow.
    Look at the floors, too.

1289
00:40:31,528 --> 00:40:33,593
And it's the same color
      as in the other room.

1290
00:40:33,595 --> 00:40:35,063
Drew:
            We know your dad put
              this flooring in.

1291
00:40:35,065 --> 00:40:36,197
We wanted
              to preserve that

1292
00:40:36,199 --> 00:40:37,797
and just to match it up
              to the new color

1293
00:40:37,799 --> 00:40:39,534
makes it feel fresh.

1294
00:40:39,536 --> 00:40:42,272
Absolutely. It's pretty
incredible, the floor.

1295
00:40:42,274 --> 00:40:43,405
Look how comfortable this --

1296
00:40:43,407 --> 00:40:44,838
I mean I just wanna
       chill out in here.

1297
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,742
Now, you have
              actual built-ins

1298
00:40:46,744 --> 00:40:48,176
and some cabinet doors
                you can shut

1299
00:40:48,178 --> 00:40:51,313
to hide things away.
   -You have a fresh aesthetic

1300
00:40:51,315 --> 00:40:55,384
and I feel like this, combined
    with the new dining room,

1301
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:57,317
the new living room,
        the new kitchen,

1302
00:40:57,319 --> 00:41:00,021
all of this together,
it just feels like a place

1303
00:41:00,023 --> 00:41:02,592
where I hope you guys will be
   happy for a very long time.

1304
00:41:02,594 --> 00:41:04,259
-Oh, 100%.
             -Yeah.

1305
00:41:04,261 --> 00:41:05,525
This is just, I think,

1306
00:41:05,527 --> 00:41:08,163
even beyond what we
 could've imagined.

1307
00:41:08,165 --> 00:41:09,763
But we also wanted
    to leave our mark, right?

1308
00:41:09,765 --> 00:41:11,800
And that's how we grow
      together as a family

1309
00:41:11,802 --> 00:41:14,904
and pass it on to future
       generations as well

1310
00:41:14,906 --> 00:41:16,304
and we've done that now.

1311
00:41:16,306 --> 00:41:18,838
I'm excited to hear
             what the kids think
                of the space.

1312
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,642
-Yeah.
-Should we bring them in
   and make some new memories?

1313
00:41:20,644 --> 00:41:22,775
-Let's do it.
        -Yeah. They'll be
        the real judges.

1314
00:41:22,777 --> 00:41:25,112
-Yeah, that's right.
   -I'm pretty excited now --

1315
00:41:25,114 --> 00:41:26,479
I think we both are --
          that we have

1316
00:41:26,481 --> 00:41:28,917
this wonderfully
         renovated house

1317
00:41:28,919 --> 00:41:31,387
that we're gonna enjoy
         with our family

1318
00:41:31,389 --> 00:41:32,721
and our friends.

1319
00:41:32,723 --> 00:41:35,121
Surprise!

1320
00:41:35,123 --> 00:41:36,125
This is epic!

1321
00:41:36,127 --> 00:41:37,325
What's different?

1322
00:41:37,327 --> 00:41:39,562
The counter used to be
        facing that way.

1323
00:41:39,564 --> 00:41:40,562
Now, it's facing that way.

1324
00:41:40,564 --> 00:41:41,862
-And the tomatoes.
-Very smart.

1325
00:41:41,864 --> 00:41:43,295
And the tomatoes
             are different, too.

1326
00:41:43,297 --> 00:41:44,666
You are right.
                    Yes.

1327
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:46,533
[ laughter ]
       this house has been
          in our family

1328
00:41:46,535 --> 00:41:48,437
for four generations
          now, really,

1329
00:41:48,439 --> 00:41:52,308
and it's pretty incredible
    to now have modernized it

1330
00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:54,841
and added our family's
          touch to it.

1331
00:41:54,843 --> 00:41:55,845
It's unbelievable.

1332
00:41:55,847 --> 00:41:57,112
It's wonderful
   to see the kids

1333
00:41:57,114 --> 00:41:58,345
enjoying the new space.

1334
00:41:58,347 --> 00:41:59,949
They're clearly
  very happy there,

1335
00:41:59,951 --> 00:42:01,549
and that's the point.
We're a family.

1336
00:42:01,551 --> 00:42:03,549
We wanna make sure
we all can enjoy the space

1337
00:42:03,551 --> 00:42:05,020
and have some
good memories there.

1338
00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:06,420
What we see now is
 a bit of a snippet

1339
00:42:06,422 --> 00:42:08,491
of the future,
  which is amazing.

1340
00:42:08,493 --> 00:42:09,824
Well, I think that we need

1341
00:42:09,826 --> 00:42:12,262
to bring a little more family in
    to really make this a party.

1342
00:42:12,264 --> 00:42:13,928
-Yeah. You wanna
      bring in some family?
           -Shall we?

1343
00:42:13,930 --> 00:42:15,062
Shall we bring in
    some family and friends?

1344
00:42:15,064 --> 00:42:16,228
-Yes!
      -Yeah, that's great.
            -Alright!

1345
00:42:16,230 --> 00:42:18,466
-Yeah!
           -Let's go!

1346
00:42:18,468 --> 00:42:20,436
-Oh, my good-- oh, my gosh!
              -Wow!

1347
00:42:20,438 --> 00:42:21,936
Oh!

1348
00:42:21,938 --> 00:42:24,036
Hey. How are you?

1349
00:42:24,038 --> 00:42:25,840
Can hardly tell
         who's related.

1350
00:42:25,842 --> 00:42:26,907
Come on in.

1351
00:42:26,909 --> 00:42:28,578
Whoa!
            Graham: [ laughs ]

1352
00:42:28,580 --> 00:42:30,111
nicole wasn't kidding
      when she said it was

1353
00:42:30,113 --> 00:42:31,545
a big extended family.

1354
00:42:31,547 --> 00:42:33,049
It looks like everyone
          has shown up

1355
00:42:33,051 --> 00:42:34,549
to see how this house
         has turned out.

1356
00:42:34,551 --> 00:42:36,049
Yeah,
  and I'm not sure,

1357
00:42:36,051 --> 00:42:37,953
but I think grandma
   might like it.

1358
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:40,186
It's definitely not
the house she grew up in.

1359
00:42:40,188 --> 00:42:42,857
Do we get the mom seal
of approval?

1360
00:42:42,859 --> 00:42:43,957
Absolutely.

1361
00:42:43,959 --> 00:42:45,828
It's just
                spectacular.

1362
00:42:45,830 --> 00:42:47,594
I definitely think the kids
    are gonna be really happy

1363
00:42:47,596 --> 00:42:48,794
to inherit this house,
            one day,

1364
00:42:48,796 --> 00:42:50,198
and maybe raise
      their children in it.

1365
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,332
"new house" on 3.
            1, 2, 3.

1366
00:42:52,334 --> 00:42:53,636
All:
           New house!

1367
00:42:53,638 --> 00:42:56,202
[ applause ]
   nicole: Yay! Thanks, guys.

1368
00:42:56,204 --> 00:42:57,673
Thank you.
           -Whoo-hoo!

1369
00:42:57,675 --> 00:42:59,773
Don't trash the place.
          [ laughter ]
             drew: Yeah. Ha ha.
