-[engine starts]
-[Mike] Let's go!

[chuckles]

[Gray] We might be biased,
but we believe

that Summerville is

the most beautiful town
in America.

We're the Benkos.

I'm Mike.

And I'm Gray.

We live
in the beautiful resort town

of Summerville,
South Carolina,

with our two kids,

Farris

and Charlie,

our two dogs,

our two dogs,

one cat,

-and seven chickens?
-Mmm-hmm.

-What in the world...
-Why is the chicken inside?

-Ahhh!
-Ahhh! Oh, my gosh!

[Gray] Summerville is filled
with historic homes,

and we are committed
to preserving that charm.

-[Mike] Hello.
-Come on in.

[Mike] Renovating
a historic home has

its own set of problems...

This is gonna
have to come out.

...but we have a lot of fun
working together.

She brings
all the design, color,

and the creativity
to these projects.

[Gray] Well,
that's not really true.

Mike's the one who does
all of our client drawings,

Mike's the one who does
all of our client drawings,

and he does all the hard work.

[Mike] I love working
with my hands.

[Gray] But whenever
we run into a hiccup,

that's when we call in
my dad, Grumpy.

[Mike] Grumpy
grumpily oversees

-all of our projects.
-Do you like it?

-Not yet.
-[laughs]

What's the matter with you?

[Gray] But I mean,
he has been doing this

for 40 years,

and so, his expertise
is what allows us

to make colorful, happy homes
that are also really solid.

And it means
a lot to us to be able

to bring that happiness

into the homes
that we work on.

[all exclaiming]

My gosh!

Whoa!

I'm honestly gonna cry!

[all exclaiming]

Oh, my gosh!

Wow!

[Charlie] Is the house that
you guys are going to today

an old house?

It's not as old as our house.

-I think it was built in...
-Like, 19 and 20-something?

[Gray] ...1926, I think.

Ours is a little bit older.

1815.

1815, that's right.
You're so smart.

That's smart!

Our house was built in 1815,

Our house was built in 1815,

and making it our own has been
a true labor of love.

My business was birthed
out of people liking

what I did in my own home,

and asking me
to help them with theirs.

Wouldn't you say?
[chuckles]

Yes.

Gray has converted me
to a lover of historic homes.

Bye, kiddos.

-You can finish
my tea if you want.
-Okay.

-Watch out for bears.
-Flick, and I'm gone.

[Gray] Don't burn
the house down.

[kids squealing]

[Gray] All right, so today
we are gonna be meeting...

-Hi!
-[Gray] ...the Webbs,
Colt and Madonna.

Madonna is a neonatal nurse.

Colt is an engineer.

It's gonna be interesting

because the whole charm
with old houses is

everything's
a little bit wonky.

-Right.
-You know?

Colt definitely seems
like the type

that likes his clean lines.

So, he's anti-wonk.

[chuckling] He's anti-wonk.

That's not gonna be any good.

He bought the house,

-so he's gotta be used to
some wonk by now.
-Yeah, but I think

-so he's gotta be used to
some wonk by now.
-Yeah, but I think

he wants to, like,

fix everything
so that it's perfect,

so that'll be interesting
to try to work around.

[Mike] Yeah.

[Gray] Colt and Madonna
just recently bought

this historic home,

and they're about to be
empty nesters.

I can't wait
to get inside their house,

and see
what we're working with.

-[Colt] Come on in,
let's show you the house.
-[Madonna] Come on in.

I'm so excited.

-Thank you so much
for having us.
-[Colt] Yeah. This is it.

Okay, so tell us
a little bit about the house.

Well, it's four bedrooms.
It's about 3,100 square feet.

Well, it's four bedrooms.
It's about 3,100 square feet.

It's on a nice, big lot.

That's one of the reasons
we fell in love with it,

-and all the trees.
-[Mike] It is beautiful.

-[Gray] Ah! Ohhh.
-[Colt] And just
the character of the home.

It's got so much
of the original structure

-from 1925...
-[Gray] I can see that.

[Colt] ...and we want
to retain that,

but just give it
some modern touches

with the same charm that
it would have had in 1925.

-And when
did you guys move in?
-Early February.

-So, like, four months?
-[Madonna] Four months.

-Well, we can't wait
to see it.
-I'll show you around.

-Awesome! Thank you.
-Nice. Let's do it.

-This is the dining room...
-Oh, nice!

-...that is really not
a dining room.
-Oh, wow.

-Oh.
-[Gray] But you'd like this
to become a dining room?

-Oh.
-[Gray] But you'd like this
to become a dining room?

-Yeah, I think so.
-Yes.

-Okay.
-Definitely.

[Gray] This does look
like it's supposed to be

a dining room,
so that will be great.

Right behind us, there's
a couple doors missing...

-[Gray] Yeah.
-...but they are downstairs
in the basement.

-Wow.
-Oh, my gosh.
Can we put them back on?

I would love that.

-Is that an old butler's pass
over there?
-[Colt] It is.

-[Gray] That is so pretty.
-[Colt] It just passes
through to the kitchen.

[Gray] That is
really special.

-I'm excited about that.
-Yeah, it's very unique.

-Yes.
-Yeah, I love that.

And then, the other side
has the built-in...

-[Gray] Okay.
-[Colt] ...and that
the china

-that Madonna and I got
as a wedding gift.
-Aw, I love it.

Uh, this will be 25 years.

Uh, this will be 25 years.

-Wow!
-Oh, my gosh. Wow.

And until two months ago,

that china never came out
of the box.

She said,
"It's just been waiting

for the right home."

-Nice.
-Oh, great!

I can't wait to have
some wonderful family meals

on that china.

And on your new
dining room table.

-[chuckles]
-Yeah.

[Gray] We're going to put
the original doors back on,

refresh the room
with some bold color,

and give you
a dining room table

where you can use
your wedding china.

-[Colt] It just needs
a face-lift.
- [Gray] Yeah.

Shall we go see the kitchen?

-Yeah, let's go.
-Nice.

-Lead the way.
-Thank you.

So, here's the kitchen.

[Gray] Nice! Okay.

[Colt] As you can tell,
this is a renovation,

and it doesn't fit 1925.

-In like, the early 2000s?
[chuckles]
-[Colt] Yeah.

-Something like that.
-[Gray] Okay.

-Yeah.
-An open concept kitchen

was not a thing back in 1925.

I think it would be
really great

-to just add a wall here...
-[Madonna] Mmm.

[Gray] ...and then,
you could gain

-extra kitchen cabinets...
- [Madonna] Mmm-hmm.

[Gray] ...and instead
of having an island,

maybe find a nice table.

Yeah. I love that idea.

I actually work
at the children's' hospital,

and there's a chaplain
that I work with...

-Okay.
-...and he does
amazing woodwork...

-Okay.
-...and he does
amazing woodwork...

-Oh, yeah?
-...and builds tables.

-[Mike] Wow.
-[Gray] Okay. Amazing.
Um, and how do you feel

about these beams?

[Colt] Yeah,
so these are the old walls

of the original kitchen,

and this one seems
to smile at you.

-Right.
-It doesn't seem to be

-supporting the weight
upstairs correctly...
-[Gray] It's structural.

[Colt] ...so if there's
something we can do

to make them look
a little bit more interesting,

-I'm definitely open to that.
-[Gray] Okay, great.

How do you feel about,

since we would be gaining
cabinets over here,

losing this cabinet system
altogether,

and exposing the brick?

[Madonna] Oh,
I love that idea.

[Mike] What if we were
to build an actual cart,

[Mike] What if we were
to build an actual cart,

and then, it become part
of the countertop space,

-where you can move it
in and out?
-Oh, that's good.

Oh yeah, I like that.
You pull it in and out.

-Like a bar cart?
-Yeah, a bar cart.

-[Madonna] Okay.
-[Grace] I feel like
you specifically

-could help out with that.
-[Mike] Yeah.

-It's gonna be awesome.
-[Madonna] Oh,
that would be wonderful.

Yay. Okay.

Tell me about the area
just beyond this.

[Madonna] It looks like
it used to be the back porch,

and it's just
a really long, awkward room.

[Colt] Yeah,
and because we want
our bedroom downstairs...

-[Madonna] Yeah.
-[Colt] ...how do we give

our guests
a bathroom to use?

-[Madonna]
The bathroom's missing.
-[Gray] Yeah, I notice

-you don't have
a bathroom for your guests.
-[Madonna] No.

Okay, here's my thought.

So, you have this hallway

So, you have this hallway

that comes down
past the kitchen.

What if we took this door
and moved it

so that it lines up
with that hall...

-[Madonna] Okay.
-[Gray] ...and then,
you could create

this section here

that becomes
your powder room,

and then,
we could put

a mudroom
right inside the new door?

All right,
what are you guys thinking

about this space,
in this part of the room?

[Madonna] Yeah, this space
has kind of puzzled us...

-[Gray] Okay.
-[Madonna] ...so
I was kind of hoping

-to hear some creative ideas
that you might have.
-Okay.

I'd love to change out
these windows.

I'd love to change out
these windows.

They're not true

to the original architecture
of the house,

and Mike, maybe you could
build them some banquettes,

kind of like you did
at our house.

Or a foosball table.

-As soon as I saw this,
I was thinking foosball.
-[winces]

-Would you rather have
a foosball table?
-No.

-Mmm-mmm.
-No, okay. [chuckles]

-Sorry, no.
-No, I'm not
a foosball player, so...

And that's why she's the boss.

[all chuckling]

[Gray] All right.
Will you show us

-the next room?
-Yeah.

All right, in here it's just
a very empty space right now.

-[Gray] Yeah.
-[Madonna] I would love

to have a bedroom, and not
have to climb upstairs.

[Gray] 'Cause you're
upstairs right now?

[Gray] 'Cause you're
upstairs right now?

-[Madonna] Yes.
-[Gray] Okay.

[Colt] And then,
it feeds into

-the only bathroom
downstairs right now.
-[Gray] Okay.

-[Madonna] And as you can see,
it's pretty small.
-[Gray] Yeah.

-Um...
-This is teeny.

Yeah. I can't imagine this
being our primary bathroom.

There's gotta be a way
to create a closet space...

-[Madonna] All right.
-[Gray] ...and then,
turn this room

-into your primary bathroom.
-[Madonna] Oh, wow.

I never would have come up
with that idea.

That's why you pay me
the big bucks.

[all laughing]

-Do you want to show me
this other room?
-[Madonna] Yeah.

Okay.

We have plenty of rooms

to make this
an amazing bathroom.

to make this
an amazing bathroom.

We can put
a his-and-her vanity
over here,

we can add
a little potty room,

and that bathroom becomes

a little hall
with a walk-in closet.

The other room we can make
the primary bedroom,

and then, you'll have
an amazing primary suite.

-[Madonna] Wow.
-[Colt] Yeah, I think
that would be great.

Okay. You guys feel
good about everything?

-[Colt] Yeah, I do.
-Yeah.

You're staying here
during renovation, correct?

-[Madonna] Yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
We're gonna be living

in the front of the house,
and upstairs.

-That's gonna be fun.
-Yeah, I'm thrilled.

[Gray] Where are you
gonna cook your foods?

We have microwaves.

[all chuckling]

I am so excited to get started

I am so excited to get started

-on this project.
-No, you're not.

-I am so.
-I'm excited.

-I'm the most excited.
[chuckles]
-[Mike] No.

Let's just agree
that we're both excited.

These guys have a space
that truly can be transformed

by what Gray wants to do,
and it's gonna be amazing,

and I think
this is an opportunity

for you to really give them

something
that they're gonna love

for the rest of their lives.

I concur.

[Mike] We just
kicked off demo,

which is my favorite part,

but super, super exciting
to go in there,

and start tearing things out.

You never know
what you're gonna find.

[Gray] And while
it's very exciting,

we also need
to have a plan first.

Up, up.

Watch your finger.

[Gray] We're gonna take out
the countertops,

we're gonna take out
the cabinets and the island,

we're gonna expose the brick,

we're gonna pull up
the floors,

and then,
in the bathroom,

we're going to remove the tile

and the drywall.

Charlie wants to know
if he can come help.

-Yes, but we gotta find
something for him to do.
-[Gray] Will you let him

-like, swing a hammer
or something?
-Of course.

Demo week's always super busy,

and I miss
getting to see the kids,

so any time Charlie, my son,
gets a chance to stop by,

it just makes me so happy.

There's baseboard
all along the house.

All this stuff is really old,
and Mr. Colt wants to save it,

so can you help me
get some of these pieces off?

-[Charlie] Mmm-hmm.
-[Mike] Let's do it.

I love it, because Charlie's
so eager to help and learn,

and it reminds me
of me when I was a child,

and I would help my dad.

Now, push towards the wall.

Now, push towards the wall.

There you go!

So, you got this, right?

You're gonna have to finish
the entire downstairs, okay?

-You're kidding.
-[Mike] No.

[chuckles]

We're really busy, buddy.
I need you to help us.

-I love you.
Do a good job in here.
-[Mike] Peace.

You too, Dad. See you, guys.

[Mike chuckles]

[Gray] So we finished demo,
and it has revealed

a couple of tricky problems.

My dad, Grumpy, oversees
all of our projects.

Today, we're meeting
at the Webb house,

because I have a few questions
about the kitchen that

I'd like to run by him.

Okay, so here's the kitchen.

I wanted to show you
this chimney.

Well, Madonna likes to see
the lap behind it.

It sort of shows
the bones of the house.

Give up on the sawtooth,

Give up on the sawtooth,

and let the laps show
from the back.

Or, we could just have
a board made that sits across,

and I could keep the sawtooth.

You want to have
a big hole there?

Yeah.
The whole thing is a big hole.

I can't go there with you.

Okay. Well, I will take your--

If you're gonna go there,
don't expect me

to hold your hand
while you go there.

I don't need any hand-holding.
I'm a big girl, now.

Okay.

But, I do have one question,

if you could just hold it
a little bit.

Sure.

What about the ceiling?
What do we do up there?

Uh, let the drywall wrap
right back into it,

Uh, let the drywall wrap
right back into it,

put some blocking, and let
that ceiling roll back in,

and then,
have the lights up in there.

But my concern is
this beam that runs

from that wall

to that wall.

It is sagged down
from the second floor load,

so you can't just leave this.

You're gonna have to take
the sag out,

which means you'll have to
jack the ceiling up,

take this beam out,

and put a new beam in

that is sized
to carry the load.

This is
a 100-year-old house,

This is
a 100-year-old house,

and 100-year-old houses
have warts,

but as warts go
in 100-year-old houses,

this beam's a big one,

even if it's not structural,

which I'm
pretty certain it is.

-That beam needs
to be replaced.
-[sighing] Okay.

I wish you wouldn't call
them "warts,"

because it's really gross.

This room, where
we're standing right here,

is going to be
the powder room...

Yes?

...and I'm gonna paint
the whole space black.

-All black?
-[Gray] All black.

-All black?
-[Gray] All black.

-Walls, ceiling...
-Yes.

-...trim?
-Yes.

-It's gonna be great.
-How about the floor?

Why not the floor?

It's great working with him,

because we really balance
each other out...

I'm not gonna paint the floor,
but it's gonna be moody,

and then I'll bring in
pops of color with art,

and rugs, and brass.

...but he does have a problem
thinking outside of the box.

Oh, really?

Yes. Yes, you do.

-I certainly do not.
-Right.

Mmm, I...

I think I can start
to see that,

I think I can start
to see that,

-so...
-Thank you.
It's gonna be good.

-[Grumpy] And you know what?
-What?

-[Grumpy] You can
always change it.
-They're not gonna change it.

-We'll see. Fair enough.
-Okay.

When you get too far out,
I'm here to rein you back in.

Well, but oftentimes,
I just cut the tether,

and fly off anyway

[chuckles]

into the abyss.

Whoosh!

It's the abyss
we're trying to avoid.

I love the abyss.

Goodbye.

Love you, Dad.

[Grumpy] Love you, too.

-Hello!
-[Madonna] Hello!

-Hi, how are you guys?
-[Madonna] Hi.

Today is
the Webb design consultation,

and I'm a little nervous.

I have imposter syndrome,
I think,

'cause I don't have
a formal background

'cause I don't have
a formal background

in interior design, per se,

so it just makes me
a little bit nervous going in,

'cause I want them
to like what I do,

and I'm not always beaming
with confidence,

so... [chuckles]

Honestly, though,
I am really excited

about the designs
that I've come up with,

and I'm excited
to show it to them.

So, Mike was kind enough
to do some little sketches.

So, this is your kitchen.

I picked out

this beautiful blue
for your cabinets,

and this stone tile
for your backsplash,

and then,
a complementary green

for the walls.

for the walls.

So, for the table,
you mentioned

that your chaplain
was gonna build one for you...

-[Madonna] Mmm-hmm.
-[Gray] ...and he was gonna
do a bench?

[Madonna] Yeah.

-[Gray] Do you like it?
-[Madonna] Mmm-hmm.

-I love it. Colt?
-It's perfect.

I'm gonna have to be
honest with you on this.

[Gray] Okay.

I can't wait
to see this kitchen...

-[chuckling] Oh, my God.
-...'cause I'm super excited.

I really love the colors,

and I really can't wait
to see it all done.

Just don't do that
to me, Colt.

You were holding your breath.

-[Gray] I was scared!
-[all chuckling]

Um, let's go
to the next room.

This is your breakfast area.

This is your breakfast area.

We're gonna build you
banquettes,

and paint
this entire front room,

minus the powder room, too.

-So, are the banquettes
the same color as well?
-Yes.

And then, you're gonna have
custom seat cushions...

-[Madonna] Mmm-hmm.
-[Gray] ...this table,

these velvet chairs,

and this rug that we felt
pulled in all the colors.

-Do you like it?
-[Madonna] Mmm-hmm.

[Gray] Colt?
[chuckles]

Would I normally come out
and do this all on my own?

Absolutely not,

but, um,

I'm willing to trust you.

[Gray] Okay.
I think it's gonna be great.

[Gray] Okay.
I think it's gonna be great.

The powder room,
as you know, is pretty small,

so I wanted to make it
very dramatic,

by painting
the whole thing black,

with fixtures bringing in
that little pop of pink

that we've seen
in some of the other spaces.

[Madonna] Oh, I love that.

-[Gray] Do you like it?
-[Madonna] Very much. Yes.

-[Gray's cell phone ringing]
-Um, this is my dad.

He's actually...

He was gonna be peeping in
at your job site today.

-[cell phone clicks]
-Hello?

[Grumpy on phone] Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Dad!

[Grumpy] I'm over here
at the Webbs',

[Grumpy] I'm over here
at the Webbs',

and I think you really need
to seriously consider

rethinking
that whole black bathroom.

[all laughing]

[Grumpy] It's gonna feel
like it swallows you

when you walk in there.

-Oh, truly.
-What did you say?

I'm going through a tunnel.

-[blows air]
-[Colt laughs]

[Grumpy] What?
You know... You know what?

-Oh, I think I lost you!
-[laughs]

Oh, sensing.

Okay, I wish
I had not picked that up.

So,

in your bedroom,

this is the only space

that we're going to do
wallpaper,

'cause I know
you're not so sure about it.

'cause I know
you're not so sure about it.

However,

I may have secretly been
working with Madonna on this,

-and we have found one...
-[all chuckling]

that she thinks
you both will love,

so this is the wallpaper
that we picked,

and we're going to paint
your ceiling green.

That is your headboard,

and we're gonna get you

some big, floor-to-ceiling,
green curtains,

to really up the moodiness,

and Madonna told me explicitly
that she wants it to feel

-romantic in your bedroom.
-[chuckles]

Is that right?

She did.

[Colt chuckles]

[Gray] It's gonna be
beautiful.

[Gray] It's gonna be
beautiful.

I'm gonna roll with it, and...

I'm telling you, the wallpaper
is going to make this room.

and I really, really,
really believe that

you're gonna be happy with it.

-I'm trusting you.
-[chuckles]

[Gray chuckles]

[Gray] Okay,

so what we decided to do
with your bathroom was

bring that wainscotting
up the wall.

On the shower,
we're going to tile

-with Italian tiles...
-[Madonna] Mmm.

[Gray] ...paint
the wainscot this blue color

that blends with the tile...

-[Madonna] Mmm-hmm.
-[Gray] ...and then,

from the top
of the wainscot up,

we'll paint it
a nice, green color,

so that it all blends in.

so that it all blends in.

[Colt] And what's
on the floor, in the tile?

A really nice pattern
of black and white hex.

-It's awesome.
-[Madonna] Sounds great.

I can't wait to see it.

[Gray] Actually,
I really think

it's gonna be beautiful,

and last but not least,

-let's talk about
your dining room, okay?
-Okay.

[Gray] So,
this is your dining room,

and if you're open to it,

I thought we could just leave
this room a fun little bit

of a fun surprise.

What do you think, Colt?

-I just don't want
to leave it the way it is now.
-Okay.

[Madonna] I don't know,
I love surprises.

[Madonna] I don't know,
I love surprises.

[chuckles]

-Okay.
-All right.

[both chuckle]

Colt, are you
really excited about that?

[all chuckling]

-We could do that thing.
-Okay.

[all laughing]

It'll be fun.

It'll be fun.

[Gray] You just can't peek.

[Gray] Hey!

What's going on?

-[Gray] Who took
this wall down?
-[chuckles]

-[Gray] Did Colt do this?
-I think so.

-Sorry, why are we wearing
the same color shirts?
-Hey.

I don't know.
This feels embarrassing.

I literally got dressed first.

-I was dressed.
-[grumbles]

[Mike] You know,

this is not a battle
that I care that much about,

so I will let you think...

-Okay.
-...that you wore
the white shirt first,

but she didn't.

but she didn't.

[Gray] This is awesome.

Madonna was looking

for a place
to store her plates.

That wants to be
a great little plate rack.

-[Mike] No, I agree.
-[Gray] I mean, we're gonna...

We have to use it.

[Mike] It's gonna need
some serious work,

but you know,
we could make it look good.

[Gray] You just gotta
paint it. It's cute.

No, we're gonna have to
make sure it's functional.

[Gray] Okay, well,
we're not pulling off

all this tongue and groove.
That's gonna stay there.

-Okay.
-[Gray] Okay?

-I agree.
-[Gray] Okay.

Uh, but Houston,
we do have a problem.

This right here is, like,
treehouse construction.

This right here is, like,
treehouse construction.

They didn't have
the proper board

to go from end to end,

so they took
a bunch of short boards,

nailed them together,
and called it a big board.

-[chuckles]
-That is not the way
it's supposed to be done,

so this is gonna
have to come out.

Well, hey, guess what?
Good news.

-What?
-[chuckling] It's coming out.

Good.

There are people
who live up there,

-[Gray chuckles]
-...and if that fell,

it would have been
really, really bad.

[Gray] I concur.

I need to get home
to check on the babysitter,

and you need to go
change your clothes, please.
[chuckles]

I'm not changing.

[Gray] You were wearing
a different outfit.

[Gray] You were wearing
a different outfit.

You came in
and changed into that,

'cause you wanted
to look just like me.

[Mike] You're correct.

I'd rather look
like you than me.

I will see you at dinner.

-[chuckling] Oh, my God.
-[Mike] Okay, bye.

I needed
to stop by the Webb house

to check on a couple things.

I walk in, and I think,

"This is funny.
This isn't the way I drew it."

[cell phone dialing]

I think I'm gonna call my dad,
and see if I can figure out

what in the world's
going on here.

I have a sneaking suspicion

[chuckling] he might have
something to do with it.

[phone beeps]

Hi, Dad.

[Grumpy on phone] Hi, sweetie.

[Gray] I'm at the Webb house,

and there's this room here

that isn't supposed
to be there.

[chuckling] Do you know
anything about that?

[Grumpy] Well,

there's still
a powder room there,

but there's also
a laundry room now.

[Gray] Oh, wow.

[chuckles] Were you gonna
tell me about this?

[Grumpy] Well,
I guess I just assumed

[Grumpy] Well,
I guess I just assumed

that you knew by now.

This all sort of happened
one day

when Colt and Madonna
were there,

and we drew it up
on the wall,

and they said,
"Yes, let's do that."

[Gray] Well,
where are the plans?

Are they here?

[Grumpy] Look on the wall.

-Oh, my gosh.
-[Grumpy] Walk over

-towards the door
that leads outside...
-No, I see them.

-They're on the wall.
-[Grumpy] ...and then,
there they are.

[Gray chuckles]

[Gray] I guess
I can kind of see it,

but it's...

There's a...

There's some framing
in front of it now.

Like, there'll be a door

sort of on the left
that just swings open?

sort of on the left
that just swings open?

That was just a quick sketch
that I did on the wall.

After that, I came home,

drew the whole space up
on CAD, with dimensions.

Kudos, because I think
it was a good idea

to put the laundry room here.
It is good.

-[Grumpy] And it's
a better use of space.
-You're right.

I agree.

Did you pat yourself
on the back?

[Grumpy] I do it every day.

[Gray chuckles]

Well, love you.

-Okay, see you later!
-I just wanted to tell you
that you were right.

You know I like that.

You know I like that.

[Gray] Next time,
maybe just tell me.

[Grumpy] Buh-bye.

Oh, he hung up before I could.

[chuckles]

He always does that!

[laughs]

[Mike] There's a lot to do
at the Webb house.

We got the door relocated,

making room
for the new entrance.

And the steel beam
has finally been put up,

replacing that happy,
smiling beam.

Well, not quite
a smiling beam,

Well, not quite
a smiling beam,

but a grimacing beam.

Which did turn out to be
a structural problem,

but that's been fixed now,
so we can move forward.

So I wanted to
bring you in here

because everything
is so exposed.

[Mike] Gray met with
a historic preservationist,

just to make sure that

everything is staying
as historically accurate
as possible.

Mike told me that this
was mixed with horse hair.

[preservationist] Possibly.

When plaster was
installed in a house,
they used livestock hair...

-[Gray] Okay.
-...um, as, like,
a binding agent.

[Mike] Gray and
Lauren discussed

[Mike] Gray and
Lauren discussed

whether or not to replace
the light fixtures

in the plaster ceiling.

[Gray] If we take it down,

we'll probably have to repair
the plaster underneath.

Yes, but it's still
manufactured today,

so you could
contact a historic
plaster specialist.

[Grumpy] Almost every
space needed new drywall.

The kitchen, the sun room,
and the primary bath.

We've added new plumbing
for the new primary bath,

and we've got
the backer board down

for the tile in preparation
for setting it.

We've done a lot,
but we're about 90 days out,

We've done a lot,
but we're about 90 days out,

and I haven't even
started on this bar cart,

so I'm gonna go
get working on it.

[Mike] I have a plan
to build a mobile bar cart,

that you could push
from their kitchen

into their dining room,
to serve drinks.

I'm not much with metal,

so I'm gonna make
it out of wood.

A lot of what I do came
from being raised,

if we wanted something,
we had to earn it.

if we wanted something,
we had to earn it.

And if we couldn't earn it,
we would build it.

My dad, without any training,

would tear about a Harley
and rebuild it, and extend it.

My dad showed me
that if you don't know
how to do something,

you still gotta try to do it.

And you'll learn how
to do it by doing it.

[Gray] Today is gonna
be a very fun day.

We're going to
meet Chaplain Bill,

who works with
Madonna at a hospital.

-[Bill] Welcome!
-[Mike] Michael.

-Michael? Gray?
-Hello! I'm Gray.
How are you?

-So nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Pleased to meet
you too, as well.

[Gray] Not only
is he a Chaplain,

he is a woodworker as well.

Madonna just loves
you so much, so...

Oh, it's a treat
to work with her.

-[all chuckle]
-Yeah.

He's gonna be building
Colt and Madonna a table
for the kitchen.

[Gray] Tell me about
the wood used for this,

[Gray] Tell me about
the wood used for this,

-'cause this looks
really special.
-[Bill] This is amazing.

And so this wood
is from the chapel

-at Fort Jackson
in South Carolina.
-[Gray] No way!

-[Bill] And it was
the pews in the chapel.
-[Gray gasps]

[Gray] Oh my goodness!

[Bill] Um, the chapel
was built in 1941,

-and was torn down
75 years later.
-Wow.

[Bill] And it's just
been sitting out in
the weather.

So any of the
imperfections in this,

-like these
scratches down here?
-[Bill] Yeah?

[Mike] You're just keeping
them the way they are,

-and polishing right over it.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Permanently keeping
it...that is awesome.
-Yeah. Yep.

Because, to get rid of that,
removes the finish.

Because, to get rid of that,
removes the finish.

-[Mike] Right.
-[Bill] Removes
the patina to it.

[Mike] I'm just so
excited to be here.

I love other people
who have this

weird desire to just use
old stuff. [chuckles]

[Bill] Well, if it
didn't have a story,

I would look at it
and think, ah, you know,
it's an old table.

You're making a bench
for them as well,

-is that right? Okay.
-I am, yeah.

And it'll be out of
the same wood.

It sounds like they share
a pretty tight bond,

because of the highs and lows,

dealing with the beauty
of childbirth,

but also the struggles
of health ailments
in children.

but also the struggles
of health ailments
in children.

And there's just
so much feeling

and meaning and emotion
behind that table,

it's gonna fit perfectly
in their house.

-Well, thank you
for coming down!
-Thank you for your time,

and thank you for
showing us this,

'cause this is so beautiful.
They're gonna love it.

[Gray] The Webb house
is really starting to
come together.

All of the trim work
in the powder room
has been installed,

-and it's ready for a coat
of that high gloss paint.
-[Mike] Whoo-hoo.

[Mike] We've already
got the banquettes

[Mike] We've already
got the banquettes

and the built-ins
in the breakfast nook.

And in the primary bathroom,
we've got the trim work up,

and we've prepared
the floor for the tile.

-Hey, Lauren!
-[Lauren] Gray!

So happy to have you here.

[Gray] So the Webb
house is 100 years old.

So I really wanna try
to do everything

as historically accurate
as possible.

So I'm going to meet
the master of plaster,

to look at some options
for a plaster medallion
for the dining room.

to look at some options
for a plaster medallion
for the dining room.

My gosh! Lauren,
this is beautiful!

[Lauren] I thought this would
be great for that project.

-It's not super ornate...
-Yep.

I thought the scale of it
would be pretty good.

And this is the second one,

-I thought you might
kind of like to see.
-Okay.

Oh, we haven't taken
'em out yet? Okay.

No, this is exciting.

-So this is
the first unveiling?
-Yeah.

[Lauren] So what
we like to do is turn
plaster on its side.

-[Gray] Okay.
-There we go. Okay.

Yeah, now if you'll
help me turn it over.

There we go.

There we go.

So we'll kinda set
him down gently.

Okay, and then we kinda
start to work around the edge.

Oh my goodness!

[Gray gasps]

That is so pretty too!

-[Lauren] They're very
different, aren't they?
-[Gray] Yes!

So to hang a light fixture...

-[Lauren] So we would just--
-[Gray] We'd have
to cut a hole?

[Lauren] Yep.
Just pre-draw the hole.

I am blown away.
So how do you make
the rubber molds?

A lot of historic medallions
were made by clay sculptors,

and then a rubber mold
was made of this.

-That is so cool.
-[Lauren] Mm-hmm.

-That is so cool.
-[Lauren] Mm-hmm.

These are both beautiful.

But, you know
what I'm noticing,

this is gonna
sound ridiculous,

this is very reminiscent
of a spider web. [chuckles]

-Yeah?
-And their last name is Webb!

-[Lauren] There you go!
-[Gray] Yeah!

[both laugh]

-Perfect. Fate.
-I feel like it was
meant to be theirs.

-Uh-huh!
-Oh my goodness.

[Gray] They don't even know
that we're doing this.

-[Lauren] Oh?
-So this will be a really,

really fun surprise for them.

-So exciting.
-Yeah!

All right.

Let's go in through
the window.

I am meeting our lead
project manager, Chelcie,

over at the Webb house.

And since it appears that we
no longer have a door,

I'm just gonna have
to find another way in.

[exhales]

-[Gray] ...Hi?
-[laughs]

[Gray] How did
you get in here?

There's a front door. [laughs]

[Gray] Oh. No regrets.

Chelcie and I
are here to witness
the momentous moment

when the plaster medallion
gets put on the ceiling.

That changes the entire room.

[whispering] Sh,
I'm so nervous.

[chuckles]

[Gray] It's so precious,
and I spent so much

time creating them.

[squeals] It's so
nerve-wracking,

but it's looking so pretty.
I'm so excited.

[laughing nervously]

[laughing nervously]

-[builder] Next, we'll
touch up the little holes...
-[Gray] Okay.

...we'll fill around
the edges, and the gap
around the edge...

-[Gray] Oh...
-...will be ready to paint.

Yeah!

-[Chelcie] Good job!
-[builder] Thank you.

Yeah.

So this is the kitchen.

[Mike chuckling] I see.

Basically, these two rooms
and their bedroom,

is their entire
house right now.

-[Mike] It's looking
a little college-y.
-[Gray] Yeah.

[Mike] I mean,
there is a microwave

-in their living room.
-[Gray] Yep.

[Mike] Along with
a refrigerator

-in their entryway.
-[Gray] Yep.

[Gray] So I am just realizing
that Colt and Madonna's

twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary is six weeks away.

Do you feel like maybe,
if we push it,

Do you feel like maybe,
if we push it,

we can be done on
their anniversary?

-We have to.
-What a good surprise
it would be,

to be able to give
them the gift of their
house back...

-it would be great.
-...on their wedding day.

I know how we would
feel in this situation.

And they truly have not
complained even one time.

So I just feel like time
is of the essence.

Let's get this thing done.

All right, why are you
still standing here?

-Go!
-Let's go.

[Gray chuckling]

[Mike] Today,
I'm at work on the bar
cart, for the Webbs,

and it's gonna
have three levels,

but two separate stacks,

enacted by eight
individual legs.

So what I did was,
I spun all these things
with lathe.

Tried to make each one
of them resemble

some type of beverage holder.

The bottle of champagne,
a bottle of gin.

And now that they're
gonna be using this dining
room a lot more,

and their kitchen is gonna
be so much more open,

I think it was
important for me

to make the bar cart
kind of stand out.

to make the bar cart
kind of stand out.

Glue, glue, glue!

All right.

We've got 'em
attached, at least.

Now I gotta make
it work so it's solid

and it's functional,
and not just...

...fantastic to look at.

[power drill whirring]

We are just few days
out from our deadline.

Things are getting
a little crazy.

The bed should be
centered with the light,

which is centered in the room.

[Gray] But, honestly,
I feel like a part of my
creative process

is very chaotic
in and of itself,

so, um, I'm right at home.

[Gray] Oh my gosh,
that's very heavy!

The furniture also
is finally here.

So it's always a fun day,

until I realize that
we have to now put
it all together.

Rollin'.

Rollin'.

Okay, there we go.

By "we", she means me.

[Gray] Hold it up...

-[Mike grunting]
-[Gray squealing]

Good thing I didn't
get that manicure.

[Mike] Me too.

Can't believe how fast
everything's coming together,

and we're still on track
to be able to give them

their home back
by their wedding day.

They're going to be so happy.

-What's wrong with you girls?
-Okay...

-What's wrong with you girls?
-Okay...

-Whoo!
-[all laughing]

[Mike] Some assembly
required. [chuckles]

Here we go...

[Gray] Mike is busy re-hanging
the doors in the dining room.

And my dad is almost
finished hanging the last
of the lights.

[Mike] Chaplain Bill
just arrived with the new
for their kitchen.

[Mike] How's that?

[Gray] And while they
work out what to do
with the furniture,

I'm gonna find
a few ways to add

some pops of color into
the black powder room.

[Gray] I like that one.
That's the one.
That's the one.

To me, fabric is one
of a few things

To me, fabric is one
of a few things

that can easily transform
a house, just like that.

-[Gray] This is perfect.
-[Chelcie] Yeah.

[Gray] Look at it.

[Chelcie squeals] Love it.

[Mike] Oh, man.
That is pretty!

-[Mike] Here, have a seat!
-[Bill chuckles]

Oh, yeah.

I can't tell you how much Colt

and especially Madonna are
gonna appreciate this.

-It's really special.
-Yeah.

They're gonna love sitting
here for a long time.

[Elizabeth] Knock, knock!

-Oh my goodness!
-Hello!

-How are you?
-Thank you so much!

To me, no space is
complete without fabric.

Fabric is really where
you can start to bring in

a lot of color, and the life,

and the whimsy into a space.

-[Gray] Oh my goodness!
That's so good.
-[Elizabeth] So pretty.

[Gray] Elizabeth Wheaton
is our seamstress.

[Gray] Elizabeth Wheaton
is our seamstress.

She just drove all
of this fabric

from Greenville,
South Carolina, it's, like,
a three-hour drive.

We could not have
done it without you.

I am so thankful
to people like her

who just have gone
above and beyond

to help my vision
come to life.

-[Gray] I love it.
-Good choice.

-Are we gonna
be able to carry this?
-I can carry this myself!

[Mike] The bar cart
is finally done,

and I'm really
excited to see if it
fits in the space.

[Mike] Now don't break it!

If it doesn't,
I'm gonna be the proud
owner of a bar cart.

If it doesn't,
I'm gonna be the proud
owner of a bar cart.

Oh, that's gonna fit!

[Gray] So just a couple
more finishing touches,

and we'll be ready to give
the Webbs their house back.

And I'm just so
excited for them to see
the transformation.

[Gray] All right.

[sing-song] Let's do it!

[Gray] Finally,
the day has arrived.

We can give
Colt and Madonna
their house back.

They no longer
have to wash their
dishes in the bathtub.

So this is a day
full of surprises,

so in that vein, a while back,

Madonna told me that
she really loved donkeys,

so I've set up a little

donkey scavenger hunt for her.

Like, with real donkeys?

Like, with real donkeys?

-Little bitty donkeys
that aren't real.
-Aw...

-Are you guys ready
to have your house back?
-[Madonna] Yes!

-[Gray] Colt, you grew hair!
-[laughing]

-The renovation
was going so smooth!
-[Gray] I'm not even kidding!

It actually made me grow hair.

-I was, like, where's Cole?
-That is awesome.

You look great.
You gotta grow it out.

-[all chuckling]
-You are crazy.

-I thought it was their son.
-Mm-hmm.

Literally had no
idea that was Colt.

[Gray] You guys
have been living

with your kitchen
in your living room,

-for five and a half months?
-[Madonna] Mm-hmm.

-for five and a half months?
-[Madonna] Mm-hmm.

-That ends today!
-[all laugh]

Nobody's more excited than us.

I know.
Let's cut the small talk.
I'm really excited.

-Okay!
-All right.

We're giving them
their home back

on their anniversary
of 25 years.

Talk about a massive present.

[Gray] Here we go!

We're gonna save
the surprise dining
room for last.

-[Mike] All right, let's go!
-Okay!

-[Gray] Welcome to
your new kitchen!
-Oh my goodness!

[laughing]

-[Madonna] This is
not the same!
-[Gray laughs]

-[Madonna] This is
not the same!
-[Gray laughs]

[Madonna] Oh my goodness.

-[Madonna] There's so
much to take in!
-[Gray] I know!

Exposed, awesome,
I mean, the bricks...

-I mean, this pot closet...
-[Colt] The pot closet.

[Gray] ...that we did not
even know was there...

-[Madonna laughs]
-[Gray] And now you
get to use it again.

-Even your beam looks good.
-Oh, the beam!

-[Mike] The beam!
-[Colt chuckles]

-[Colt] Beam looks good!
-[Gray] The beam,
the dreaded beam.

[Colt] It looks great.

It's just, it's almost
an asset, now.

-I love that it's the same
color as the ceiling...
-The way that you...

[Colt] ...and yeah,
it's phenomenal.

[Mike] Cabinets,
the countertop, backsplash.

-[Gray] Yeah.
-[Colt] So...

-[Madonna laughs] The bar!
-[Gray laughs] Ah!

-[Madonna laughs] The bar!
-[Gray laughs] Ah!

Oh my goodness!

-[Mike] So if you take
a look at the bar cart...
-[Colt] They're bottles!

[Mike] Yeah, they're different
bottles and glasses,

they're different cocktails.

So I spun all of those.

The bottom were made
out of four by fours,

uh, and it's red oak,
the top is maple,

and so I was trying to make
every single leg unique.

-I'm so touched.
-It was fun.

[Madonna] It's gonna
be a family heirloom.

-[Mike] Oh, good!
-[all laugh]

Speaking of family heirlooms,

this table that Chaplain
Bill made for you,

this table that Chaplain
Bill made for you,

I know that you and he
have a very strong,
special connection,

and he's the sweetest
man in the whole world.

And I know that he put
so much heart and soul
into this for you.

I know that it's just
as special to you
as it is to him.

You know,
between the bar cart,

and the table that, uh,
Chaplain Bill made,

it really lends
itself to overall

feeling of warmth
in the kitchen,

you know, like,
it gives it a soul.

[Gray] Okay, so, Madonna.

I remembered how much
you love donkeys,

I remembered how much
you love donkeys,

so I just wanna tell you
before we go any farther,

that I have hidden
a little donkey for you
in every room.

[all laugh]

-So just see if
you can find it!
-[chuckling]

-[Gray] It's really hard
to find dolphins...
-Ah! [laughs]

[all chuckling]

-[Gray] Donkey number one!
-[Madonna] That's adorable.

[Gray] We still have
so much more to see.

I'm so excited to show you.

-Are you ready to see
the sun room?
-[all chuckle]

[Gray] This room
was a lot of fun,

and may be one
of my favorites, so...

-Oh, my goodness...
-[Gray laughs]

-Oh, my goodness...
-[Gray laughs]

-[Madonna] Oh my god!
-[all laugh]

Oh, I can't wait to drink
coffee sitting right there!

[Gray] I know! Isn't it
a neat coffee spot?

[Colt] Oh, wow.

[Mike] The way
the sun comes up, I mean,

you're gonna get light
in here, you can sit here,

you can read a book,
you could play games...

Let's also talk about the fact
that we moved the door...

-[Madonna] Mm-hmm.
-So if I just stand here
and look through,

I mean, you get a straight
shot into the rest of
your house, now.

[Madonna] I never, never
could have imagined...

-[Colt chuckles]
-[Madonna] ...or come up
with these ideas.

-[Colt chuckles]
-[Madonna] ...or come up
with these ideas.

It's amazing.

[laughs] The donkey!

-[Gray] The donkey!
-[others laugh]

-[Madonna] I'm supposed
to find the donkey!
-[all laughing]

[Gray] Take a look
at your powder room.

-Y'all go ahead first.
-[Madonna] Okay.

-Obviously, there is your...
-[Mike] The laundry room.

-Yes!
-[all chuckle]

-[Madonna] Downstairs laundry.
-[Gray] I know. That's the
game changer.

-[Madonna] Thanks
to the Grumpster.
-[Gray] Yes!

-Thank you Grumpy!
-[Gray] You have a laundry
downstairs, yeah.

[Mike] And then
moving along...

[Gray] If you wanna go
and see your powder room.

-[Mike] This is
my favorite room.
-Oh my goodness!

-[Mike] This is
my favorite room.
-Oh my goodness!

-[Colt] This is awesome.
-[Madonna laughs]

-[Mike] We love this color!
-[Madonna] I do too!

-[Gray] Do you like it?
-[Colt] I love it.
I just, I love it.

-Absolutely love it.
-I know. I love all
of the colors.

-Oh...
-Oh, we got a pink sink!

-[all laugh]
-You had to put
pink in something!

I mean, I did give
you an entirely black
room, so...

-[Madonna laughs]
-[Colt] Yes. It looks great.

-[Madonna] That is
so cute. So cute.
-[Colt] I love it.

So, I'm very excited to
show you your bedroom.

-Can we do that?
-[Madonna] Yes!

Follow me!

-[Colt] Oh my gosh!
-[all laugh]

-[Madonna and Colt]
Oh my gosh!
-[Gray laughs]

-[Madonna] This is
so gorgeous!
-[Colt] Oh, wow.

[Madonna] This is, like,
a grown-up's bedroom.

-[laughing]
-This is amazing.

[Colt] Wow.

[Gray] Well, I know that
you said that you wanted it

to be romantic and cozy...

-[Madonna] It is
exactly like that.
-[Gray] I feel like...

Exactly that.

[Gray] There was
a doorway here

that doesn't even
exist anymore.

[Colt] Mm-hmm.

This room was kinda
off my radar, but, yeah.

This room was kinda
off my radar, but, yeah.

This is pretty cool.

[Madonna] It's gorgeous.

[Gray] All right,
primary bathroom.

-[Madonna] Mike's
favorite room?
-[Mike] My favorite room!

-[all laugh]
-[Mike] Hands down!

[Gray] Here is your bathroom!

[laughing] Oh my gosh!

[Madonna] I love it so much.

-[Gray] We wanted to...
-[Madonna] Look at this
art on the floor!

[Gray] Yeah.
He did a really great job.

[Colt] I mean, with
the tile on the floor

matching the tile
in the shower,

it almost feels like
a walk-in giant shower,
I just love it.

[Madonna] And this used
to be a bedroom!

[Madonna] And this used
to be a bedroom!

[Gray laughing] I know!
It's a perfect color.

[Madonna] That is gorgeous.
Absolutely beautiful.

[Gray] All right, last room,

if you wanna step into
your new dining room.

-All right.
-[Gray] Okay!

[Mike] The moment
of truth for you, Gray.

-[Gray] Don't look yet!
-[Mike laughs]

[Madonna] Okay,
I'm not looking!

-Oh my gosh!
-[both laugh]

-[Colt] Oh...
-[Madonna] Oh my goodness.

[Colt] It fits. Love it.

-[Mike] I love the colors!
-[Gray] I know this
room was the one

-[Mike] I love the colors!
-[Gray] I know this
room was the one

-that you had no idea
what was happening.
-No!

[Gray] And you let
us have free reign.

-[Madonna] Oh,
I'm so glad I did!
-[all laugh]

So Colt, I know
you were not big on
the idea of wallpaper.

-[Colt] This is, this is--
-[Gray] This is a mural,

and this felt like, I really
felt in my heart, like,

you would love it,
so I hope you do.

[Colt] I do. I like it.

[Gray] The ceiling is plaster.

-[Madonna gasps]
-The medallion is plaster,
made just for you.

-[Madonna] Wow.
-[Gray] And look,
it looks like a web!

-[Madonna] Wow.
-[Gray] And look,
it looks like a web!

-[Gray] And, look.
-[Mike] Your doors are back.

-[Gray] And your doors!
-[Colt] Yeah.

[Colt] There's so many
little things that, like,

I'm not even
paying attention to.

-[Gray] I know, I know!
-I'm just taking in the room,
and its transformation.

[Madonna] Do you remember this
was a sitting room? Like--

-[Gray] I know, I know!
-[Madonna] It was not
even a dining room.

-[Gray] It wasn't
even a dining room.
-[Colt] It's great.

And I know today's
your anniversary.

Have you noticed the china?

-Oh!
-Oh my gosh!

[Madonna] I didn't
even notice!

[Colt] I was too
busy looking up,

and I couldn't even look
down and see the china.

How does it feel to see
your wedding china?

On it, like, out,
and able to be used?

Oh, it just looks
so perfect here.

Feeling very blessed.

Blessed to have
this opportunity.

Blessed to get
to know you and Mike.

And most of all...

-Quit, you're gonna
make me cry!
-[all laugh]

-Happy anniversary, guys.
-Yeah, seriously.

Doing this work for
the Webbs was so satisfying.

Doing this work for
the Webbs was so satisfying.

Just to see the smiles
on their faces,

they are just thrilled.

[Grumpy] I'd like to propose
a toast to you two.

You've been living with this,

with a hot plate
and a microwave
for six months.

I would have gone
out of my mind.

We wish you many, many years

of being happy,
to be in your home.

-Oh, thank you.
-Thank you.

-[Gray] Cheers.
Happy anniversary.
-Cheers.
