'cause they have
the two little girls,

Okay, so I have a--
you know,

73
00:02:43,965 --> 00:02:46,068
a good three
and a half weeks off.

74
00:02:46,068 --> 00:02:49,758
So, I just-- I told Itay,
her husband, what was going on.

75
00:02:49,758 --> 00:02:51,241
And we had to
get her out of town.

76
00:02:51,241 --> 00:02:52,655
Because she's never
taken a vacation

00:02:52,655 --> 00:02:54,034
the entire time
we've worked together.

We've work together
20 years,

79
00:02:55,551 --> 00:02:58,758
she's never taken off,
literally has not gone

80
00:02:58,758 --> 00:03:01,793
longer than a weekend here,
maybe a week there,

with her family.

82

So, I said, "You have
to take a break."

83
00:03:05,931 --> 00:03:07,896
So, to get her out,
it's just--

84
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:10,379
it's a thrill for me,
just to not--

85
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:13,551
have to have succeeded
at this so far.

86
00:03:13,551 --> 00:03:15,758
ALLISON: I met Ilana
right around the time

87
00:03:15,758 --> 00:03:18,068
I'd done the pilot of West Wing
in 1999.

88
00:03:18,068 --> 00:03:21,655
and then, my manager suggested
that I might need an assistant.

89
00:03:21,655 --> 00:03:24,103
I laughed. I was like, "No,
Rob Lowe has an assistant.

90
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:25,551
I don't have
an assistant."

91
00:03:25,551 --> 00:03:28,655
It just didn't seem like
I was the assistant type.

92
00:03:28,655 --> 00:03:31,000
Cut to 20 years later,
she's--

93
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,344
I can't live my life
without her.

94
00:03:33,344 --> 00:03:34,689
I had worked
in the West Wing,

95
00:03:34,689 --> 00:03:36,896
in the White House,
in the press office,

96
00:03:36,896 --> 00:03:39,965
and Allison had just
gotten this job

97
00:03:39,965 --> 00:03:41,275
on a TV show,
"The West Wing."

98
00:03:41,275 --> 00:03:43,379
And I was like,
"I can do this."

99
00:03:43,379 --> 00:03:47,827
You know, maybe she needs
someone to give her tips.

100
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:49,275
I've been there.

101

She's my manager.

ILANA: I think just spending
such long hours together,

106
00:04:03,103 --> 00:04:06,034
and really in
a no-judgment zone,

107
00:04:06,034 --> 00:04:08,655
she can talk to me
about anything.

108
00:04:08,655 --> 00:04:09,827
And I'm there to listen.

109
00:04:09,827 --> 00:04:11,827
And she's been there
for me.

110
00:04:11,827 --> 00:04:13,862
You know, more recently,
she lost her brother,

111
00:04:13,862 --> 00:04:16,827
which was
extremely difficult.

112
00:04:16,827 --> 00:04:18,862
And then, a couple
of years later,

113
00:04:18,862 --> 00:04:21,103
my lost my sister
to cancer.

114
00:04:21,103 --> 00:04:24,137
And again,
she was there for me.

115
00:04:24,137 --> 00:04:26,896
And it's just those moments
that you just know

116
00:04:26,896 --> 00:04:28,655
that somebody
is looking out for you.

117
00:04:28,655 --> 00:04:34,000
And having that friendship,
and that that person there to...

118
00:04:38,965 --> 00:04:42,586
It means everything.

119
00:04:42,586 --> 00:04:44,758
ALLISON:
So, to do this for her,
after what she went through

120
00:04:44,758 --> 00:04:47,275
with her family, too,
it's just-- it feels right.

121
00:04:47,275 --> 00:04:49,448
It feels really nice
to give to someone like Ilana,

122
00:04:49,448 --> 00:04:52,724
who's been been there
for me

123
00:04:52,724 --> 00:04:55,551
in ways I would never
have expected her to be.

124
00:04:55,551 --> 00:04:57,275
So, I hope
she receives this

125
00:04:57,275 --> 00:04:59,689
with the love
it was intended with.

126
00:04:59,689 --> 00:05:02,172
Having Allison in my life
has been a blessing,

127
00:05:02,172 --> 00:05:04,103
on all accounts.

128
00:05:04,103 --> 00:05:05,586
20 years.

129
00:05:05,586 --> 00:05:07,275
Look, people don't stay
in a job,

130
00:05:07,275 --> 00:05:09,413
in a relationship,
in whatever it is,

131
00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:11,103
if the person
on the other end

132
00:05:11,103 --> 00:05:14,137
is not an amazing,
wonderful human being.

133
00:05:14,137 --> 00:05:18,413
And I just feel really lucky
that that's Allison Janney.

134
00:05:18,413 --> 00:05:20,586
Well, it's good to have
her husband in on it, because...

135
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:22,482
I couldn't have
done it without him.

136
00:05:22,482 --> 00:05:24,586
So, what we're planning on
doing, everything that we do,

137
00:05:24,586 --> 00:05:25,724
we have about 3
to 3 1/2 weeks

138
00:05:25,724 --> 00:05:26,896
we need to
get it done in.

139
00:05:26,896 --> 00:05:28,724
Yeah. Can you do it
in that time?

140
00:05:28,724 --> 00:05:30,620
Well, it depends
what we're looking at.

141
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:32,965
If this is the kitchen,
it looks pretty tiny.

142
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:34,689
It is pretty tiny.

143
00:05:34,689 --> 00:05:37,620
I mean, it's you know,
New York style.

144
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:39,655
The problem is,
we're not in New York.

145
00:05:39,655 --> 00:05:41,103
And the main thing
for me is, like,

146
00:05:41,103 --> 00:05:42,620
location,
location, location,

147
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:44,275
The kitchen is supposed to be
the heart of the home.

148
00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:46,000
ALLISON: It just needs
to flow better.

149
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,482
And this just is, like, a trap,
little dungeon in here.

Everybody's on top
of each other.

151
00:05:50,551 --> 00:05:52,103
It's cramped.

152
00:05:52,103 --> 00:05:54,068
It's too small a space for the
amount of entertaining they do,

153
00:05:54,068 --> 00:05:55,896
the amount of parties
they throw for me.

154
00:05:55,896 --> 00:05:58,034
And I've got to have parties
kept being thrown for me.

155
00:05:58,034 --> 00:05:59,172
So, this is for you?

156
00:05:59,172 --> 00:06:00,379
This is about me.

157
00:06:00,379 --> 00:06:02,000
Ilana surprised Allison

158
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,793
with a birthday party
at the house, here.

159
00:06:03,793 --> 00:06:05,275
She cooked up
a storm.

160
00:06:05,275 --> 00:06:07,448
But that's when Allison says
she really realized

161
00:06:07,448 --> 00:06:09,586
that that kitchen
does not work for this family.

162
00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:11,344
Well, whoever is working
in the kitchen,

163
00:06:11,344 --> 00:06:13,241
they're stuffed away
in this corner.

164
00:06:13,241 --> 00:06:14,551
And it's--
that's no fun.

165
00:06:14,551 --> 00:06:15,724
You don't want to be
in a cave.

166
00:06:15,724 --> 00:06:18,034
Actually, why is it
that you chose Ilana?

167
00:06:18,034 --> 00:06:19,931
'Cause she was, like,
right on your mind.

168
00:06:19,931 --> 00:06:22,310
Well, of course,
because she is--

169
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:25,862
Ilana and I have been
working together since 2000--

170
00:06:25,862 --> 00:06:27,586
since I came out here,

171
00:06:27,586 --> 00:06:29,758
and started my whole life
in Los Angeles.

172
00:06:29,758 --> 00:06:35,310
And we have been through a lot
of wonderful celebratory events,

173
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:40,034
and then, also, some sad events,
too, with the loss of my brother

174
00:06:40,034 --> 00:06:43,862
and the loss of-- she lost
her sister four years

175
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,482
after I lost my brother,
both in very tragic ways.

176
00:06:47,482 --> 00:06:49,862
And so, we--

177
00:06:49,862 --> 00:06:54,034
she has become more family,
to me, than anything else.

178
00:06:54,034 --> 00:06:57,034
And she's given a lot to me
over the years.

179
00:06:57,034 --> 00:07:00,068
And I feel like this is
a wonderful opportunity for me

180
00:07:00,068 --> 00:07:02,068
to do something
lovely for her.

181
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:03,862
You know,
she's just a giver,

182
00:07:03,862 --> 00:07:06,793
and it's hard
to make her receive.

183
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:08,965
So, she may fire me.

184
00:07:08,965 --> 00:07:10,448
[ Laughter ]

185
00:07:10,448 --> 00:07:12,103
"How dare you
renovate my house.
You're fired."

186
00:07:12,103 --> 00:07:13,551
It's gonna be interesting
to see how she reacts.

187
00:07:13,551 --> 00:07:14,965
DREW: Just phrase it
like this--

188
00:07:14,965 --> 00:07:17,103
"No, Ilana,
I'm doing this

189
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:19,310
so you can throw
bigger parties for me."

190
00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:21,068
"See, it's still
all about me,

191
00:07:21,068 --> 00:07:23,206
so you can be
comfortable with that."

192
00:07:23,206 --> 00:07:25,482
And I would say the one benefit
to this kitchen is

193
00:07:25,482 --> 00:07:28,206
demolition would be easy,
because it's so small.

194
00:07:28,206 --> 00:07:30,724
I do feel like you're the
type of person who would love

195
00:07:30,724 --> 00:07:32,206
to actually get hands on,
and--

196
00:07:32,206 --> 00:07:33,931
Oh, you have no idea.

197
00:07:33,931 --> 00:07:35,827
I love to rip things up,
tear them apart.

198
00:07:35,827 --> 00:07:38,586
Give me a sledgehammer,
and I will bust some [bleep] up.

199
00:07:38,586 --> 00:07:41,310
This definitely would be,
like, area number one.

200
00:07:41,310 --> 00:07:42,862
Are you seeing
stuff already?

201
00:07:42,862 --> 00:07:44,000
Oh, absolutely.

202
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
This would no longer be
a kitchen, in my mind.

203
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,379
I would take the kitchen
out of here,

204
00:07:47,379 --> 00:07:48,379
and I would put
the kitchen--

205
00:07:48,379 --> 00:07:49,931
I just got chills.

206
00:07:49,931 --> 00:07:52,172
No, seriously,
that's a great idea.

207
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:54,000
It would be awesome.
Raise the window up, here,

208
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,206
so you could wrap cabinets
around, remove this wall,

209
00:07:57,206 --> 00:07:59,655
open things up,
and all of a sudden, now...

210
00:07:59,655 --> 00:08:02,724
You said-- You said that
Ilana's husband loves to cook.

211
00:08:02,724 --> 00:08:04,896
Yeah. He cooks all the time,
and loves to entertain.

212
00:08:04,896 --> 00:08:06,310
That would be incredible.

213
00:08:06,310 --> 00:08:08,758
This becomes, like, a whole
entertaining space, then.

214
00:08:08,758 --> 00:08:09,965
Yeah.

215
00:08:09,965 --> 00:08:11,137
They don't want to be
hidden away in the kitchen.

216
00:08:11,137 --> 00:08:12,310
They need those sight lines
to see everybody.

217
00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:13,517
Yeah.

218
00:08:13,517 --> 00:08:14,931
Call me crazy.

219
00:08:14,931 --> 00:08:16,896
I'm actually also thinking,
too, how amazing would it be

220
00:08:16,896 --> 00:08:20,241
if we could actually build in
a wine room right here?

221
00:08:20,241 --> 00:08:22,310
We could do, like,
this beautiful feature.

222
00:08:22,310 --> 00:08:24,724
I mean, Itay and Ilana,
they took me to Napa

223
00:08:24,724 --> 00:08:26,275
for one of my first
wine tours.

224
00:08:26,275 --> 00:08:27,862
They are so into wines.

225
00:08:27,862 --> 00:08:29,482
That would be incredible.

226
00:08:29,482 --> 00:08:30,758
So, a whole wall of wine.

227
00:08:30,758 --> 00:08:33,068
Yeah. We could do--
because just depending on

228
00:08:33,068 --> 00:08:35,137
how we open this up,
we may as well make it usable,

229
00:08:35,137 --> 00:08:37,586
and have a fully
exposed wine feature.

230
00:08:37,586 --> 00:08:38,758
Yes.

231
00:08:38,758 --> 00:08:40,551
Also, I think that
we can't just touch

232
00:08:40,551 --> 00:08:42,344
the dining room
and kitchen area,

233
00:08:42,344 --> 00:08:43,413
and not do anything
over here.

234
00:08:43,413 --> 00:08:45,137
We need new floors.

235
00:08:45,137 --> 00:08:48,137
I think the built-ins here
could use a little work.

236
00:08:48,137 --> 00:08:50,448
And I'm wondering if we
should change the fireplace,

237
00:08:50,448 --> 00:08:51,896
or at least the facade.

238
00:08:51,896 --> 00:08:54,103
You know, I like those--
I don't know what era that was,

239
00:08:54,103 --> 00:08:55,896
where you could see
the fireplace on both sides.

240
00:08:55,896 --> 00:08:57,241
The fireplace would play
in both...

241
00:08:57,241 --> 00:08:59,413
- A see-through?
- A see-through.

242
00:08:59,413 --> 00:09:01,931
So, this is a--
this is a two-sided fireplace.

243
00:09:01,931 --> 00:09:05,103
You're thinking a see-through
or a three sided fireplace.

244
00:09:05,103 --> 00:09:07,551
Regardless, we'll make
better use of the space.

245
00:09:07,551 --> 00:09:10,586
Even though the space is nice,
it's not optimized.

246
00:09:10,586 --> 00:09:12,068
The kitchen is
way too small.

247
00:09:12,068 --> 00:09:14,689
The dining area actually
is too big for a dining table.

248
00:09:14,689 --> 00:09:16,000
So, in this place...

249
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,862
BOTH: Flip the kitchen
and dining room.

250
00:09:17,862 --> 00:09:20,241
DREW: Allison wants
to reimagine Ilana's space

251
00:09:20,241 --> 00:09:23,310
to focus on her passions--
cooking and entertaining.

252
00:09:23,310 --> 00:09:26,034
To do that, we'll take down
the walls, and flip rooms,

253
00:09:26,034 --> 00:09:28,413
to make this larger space
their new kitchen,

254
00:09:28,413 --> 00:09:30,655
which will allow
for more custom cabinetry

255
00:09:30,655 --> 00:09:33,517
and a huge island--
perfect for family meals

256
00:09:33,517 --> 00:09:35,413
or a centerpiece
for entertaining--

257
00:09:35,413 --> 00:09:37,413
while sintered stone countertops
and backsplash

258
00:09:37,413 --> 00:09:40,827
will give this kitchen a sleek
style and unmatched durability.

259
00:09:40,827 --> 00:09:43,172
The new dining room will feature
trendy banquette seating

260
00:09:43,172 --> 00:09:44,310
for family meals,

261
00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:46,172
and a floor-to-ceiling
glass wine cabinet

262
00:09:46,172 --> 00:09:48,000
will replace
an unused closet,

263
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,206
and become a focal feature
in the space.

264
00:09:50,206 --> 00:09:51,896
Light-tuned engineered
hardwood throughout

265
00:09:51,896 --> 00:09:54,172
will create cohesion
and sophistication

266
00:09:54,172 --> 00:09:55,724
as we move into
the living room,

267
00:09:55,724 --> 00:09:58,551
where a modern fireplace
makeover and new furniture

268
00:09:58,551 --> 00:10:02,206
will top off Ilana's
secret dream renovation.

So, the joists in the kitchen
go this way,

00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:40,103
but then, they changed direction
over here,

406
00:14:40,103 --> 00:14:41,482
which means there's
a load across here.

But the load
is not on this lower wall.

DREW: Is that not--
Is that a post, over here?

409

This is just
doubled up.

410
00:14:46,965 --> 00:14:49,310
So, I think this might actually
be a load-bearing wall.

411
00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:50,862
That's not a good sign.

"No problem.

We'll remove this wall between

414

it's not so easy.

instead of proper subfloor
underneath the hardwood.

443
00:16:00,103 --> 00:16:01,689
Maybe they did that
'cause it's too thin.

444
00:16:01,689 --> 00:16:05,137
Or maybe they were trying
to bring it up 3/4 inch.

Completely different species.

581
00:21:16,689 --> 00:21:17,965
Domestic oak is typically
a little harder,

582
00:21:17,965 --> 00:21:20,724
a little more amber,
a little more nutty brown.

583
00:21:20,724 --> 00:21:22,689
European oak
is favored for stains,

584
00:21:22,689 --> 00:21:23,896
'cause it takes stain
really well.

585

00:21:33,275 --> 00:21:35,896
Honestly, at this point,
80% engineered.

591
00:21:35,896 --> 00:21:37,034
Yeah.

592
00:21:37,034 --> 00:21:38,448
See, here's another thing
to look at.

593
00:21:38,448 --> 00:21:41,206
Even a solid floor, you really
only have 6 millimeters

594
00:21:41,206 --> 00:21:42,793
until you get
to the top.

595
00:21:42,793 --> 00:21:43,758
Same thing with
your engineered.

596
00:21:43,758 --> 00:21:45,068
So, in terms
of longevity,

597
00:21:45,068 --> 00:21:46,793
both of these
are lifetime floors.

598
00:21:46,793 --> 00:21:47,931
When you're trying to
choose your flooring,

599
00:21:47,931 --> 00:21:49,275
you really have
to think about

600
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:51,206
how you're gonna
use the home.

601
00:21:51,206 --> 00:21:52,344
Is there a lot
of traffic?

602
00:21:52,344 --> 00:21:54,103
Then, you want something
that's more durable.

603
00:21:54,103 --> 00:21:55,620
Some woods are harder,
like oak,

604
00:21:55,620 --> 00:21:57,241
versus something
that's a little softer.

605
00:21:57,241 --> 00:21:58,689
So, making sure
that you have

606
00:21:58,689 --> 00:22:00,344
the right color
that matches the palette,

607
00:22:00,344 --> 00:22:02,517
but also, what's gonna match
the function, is key.

608
00:22:02,517 --> 00:22:03,620
Here.
You tell me this.

609
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:05,379
What do you think
Ilana would prefer?

610
00:22:05,379 --> 00:22:07,103
Like, thickness-wise?
Is that, like, a 7-inch?

611
00:22:07,103 --> 00:22:08,448
Yeah.
That's 7-inch.

612
00:22:08,448 --> 00:22:10,103
I'd say that would be the max
that we would want to do.

613
00:22:10,103 --> 00:22:11,689
And then, this is
a little bit darker.

614
00:22:11,689 --> 00:22:12,827
What do you--
What do you think?

615
00:22:12,827 --> 00:22:14,724
Probably lighter.

616
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:17,379
And we ran it in the length
of the longest run,

617
00:22:17,379 --> 00:22:19,137
and then, just carried it,
seamless, all the way through.

618
00:22:19,137 --> 00:22:20,482
I think it would,
all of a sudden,

- Thanks for the help.

623
00:22:25,862 --> 00:22:27,931
I want to try to lift this
one more time before I go.

624
00:22:27,931 --> 00:22:28,965
You can't lift it.

625
00:22:28,965 --> 00:22:31,206
I'm telling you,
I can do it.

626
00:22:32,586 --> 00:22:33,689
JONATHAN:
I got an inch out of it.

627
00:22:33,689 --> 00:22:34,793
DREW:
This is more your size.

628
00:22:34,793 --> 00:22:35,793
Alright.
See you later, brother.

629
00:22:35,793 --> 00:22:37,379
Alright.
Thank you so much.

630
00:22:37,379 --> 00:22:41,000
♪

631
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
DREW: With under two weeks left
to get everything done,

632
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,655
we are in it.

633
00:22:45,655 --> 00:22:47,931
JONATHAN:
The addition of the steel beam
has set us back on time.

634
00:22:47,931 --> 00:22:49,379
so it's all hands
on deck.

635
00:22:49,379 --> 00:22:53,172
Now that the foundation is set,
the support posts are going in.

636
00:22:53,172 --> 00:22:55,275
And while the refrigeration unit
for the wine cabinet

637
00:22:55,275 --> 00:22:57,620
is being installed
in the crawl space,

638
00:22:57,620 --> 00:23:01,448
we are reinflating and adding
fresh drywall inside,

639
00:23:01,448 --> 00:23:03,275
while Allison and I
pick some finishes

640
00:23:03,275 --> 00:23:05,551
for Ilana's
new space outside.

641
00:23:05,551 --> 00:23:06,896
Now that we're
moving the kitchen

642
00:23:06,896 --> 00:23:08,103
over to the corner, here,

643
00:23:08,103 --> 00:23:10,034
we'll have a lot more light
coming in.

644
00:23:10,034 --> 00:23:12,275
But it might be nice
to bounce light around

645
00:23:12,275 --> 00:23:13,758
if we, maybe,
do the perimeter in,

646
00:23:13,758 --> 00:23:15,793
like, a white cabinet
kind of shaker style.

647
00:23:15,793 --> 00:23:18,000
And then, accent the island
in a blue.

648
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,931
She likes texture.

649
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:22,517
She appreciates--
like, these colors,

650
00:23:22,517 --> 00:23:26,103
I would think she would go
in this area, in the blues.

651
00:23:26,103 --> 00:23:30,896
And she likes an accent with,
you know, clean, with white.

652
00:23:30,896 --> 00:23:33,655
And also, my my island at home
is accented in blue.

653
00:23:33,655 --> 00:23:38,137
So, anything to make her
not have any individuality.

654
00:23:38,137 --> 00:23:41,137
Slowly, she's morphing
to become you.

655
00:23:41,137 --> 00:23:42,586
She's got your sofa.

656
00:23:42,586 --> 00:23:43,758
She's now got
your island.

657
00:23:43,758 --> 00:23:45,724
My kitchen island at home
is this color exactly.

658
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:46,793
Okay, then we're not
doing that color.

659
00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:47,862
So, maybe we should
do this color,

660
00:23:47,862 --> 00:23:49,827
so that she has
her own color blue.

661
00:23:49,827 --> 00:23:51,379
This is now
"Ilana Blue."

662
00:23:51,379 --> 00:23:52,379
- Excellent.
- Oh, my God.

663
00:23:52,379 --> 00:23:54,103
It's called
"Ilana Blue."

664
00:23:54,103 --> 00:23:56,172
- What?
- No. It's called "Evening Dove."

665
00:23:56,172 --> 00:23:58,068
You're an actor.
You can make me believe things.

666
00:23:58,068 --> 00:24:01,551
Would she want to go clean
with the stone on the counters?

667
00:24:01,551 --> 00:24:03,103
Or would you want to have
something with veining?

668
00:24:03,103 --> 00:24:04,758
I think she wants veining.

669
00:24:04,758 --> 00:24:07,758
So, anytime I have somebody
who entertains a lot,

670
00:24:07,758 --> 00:24:10,482
or who has kids in the house,
you've got to have something

671
00:24:10,482 --> 00:24:11,896
that's gonna stand up
to family life.

672
00:24:11,896 --> 00:24:13,206
So, this--
this is neolith.

673
00:24:13,206 --> 00:24:14,724
So, this is impervious.

674
00:24:14,724 --> 00:24:18,068
So, this, you can get it
in a million different styles.

675
00:24:18,068 --> 00:24:19,448
I like the two-toned.

676
00:24:19,448 --> 00:24:21,517
I like the depth of that,
the texture that that gives.

677
00:24:21,517 --> 00:24:22,551
Ooh, that's pretty,
too, though.

678
00:24:22,551 --> 00:24:23,586
I like that one.

679
00:24:23,586 --> 00:24:24,689
But I also kind of love--

680
00:24:24,689 --> 00:24:26,448
this is where I
go down the rabbit hole.

681
00:24:26,448 --> 00:24:29,655
You're basically holding every
single sample on the table.

682
00:24:29,655 --> 00:24:32,620
I want this,
and this, and this.

683
00:24:32,620 --> 00:24:34,241
So, I would say,
if we want to do something

684
00:24:34,241 --> 00:24:35,965
that does have
more veining,

685
00:24:35,965 --> 00:24:38,793
then, I think the other surface
should be a clean white.

686
00:24:38,793 --> 00:24:41,448
So, like, for example,
we could do something like that

687
00:24:41,448 --> 00:24:42,448
and this would go
very well.

688
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:43,724
I see.

689
00:24:43,724 --> 00:24:45,689
Not only could we do
something cool in the kitchen,

690
00:24:45,689 --> 00:24:46,896
but also, the fireplace.

691
00:24:46,896 --> 00:24:48,655
We could do the surround
on the fireplace.

692
00:24:48,655 --> 00:24:50,137
That would be beautiful.

693
00:24:50,137 --> 00:24:51,827
We're gonna do away with the
bricks that are there, right?

694
00:24:51,827 --> 00:24:53,758
Oh, yeah.
I think, on the fireplace,

695
00:24:53,758 --> 00:24:55,517
doing something that looks like
real stone would--

696
00:24:55,517 --> 00:24:56,965
- I like that.
- Yeah?

697
00:24:56,965 --> 00:24:58,310
'Cause that looks
like real stone,

698
00:24:58,310 --> 00:25:00,206
and she likes those colors
in there a lot.

699
00:25:00,206 --> 00:25:01,965
Well, then, I think
the nice thing, too, is,

700
00:25:01,965 --> 00:25:04,000
if we know we're gonna have
a blue accent on the island,

701
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,103
we can pull a little bit of that
from the grays

702
00:25:06,103 --> 00:25:08,068
and the blues that we might find
in some of the window coverings.

703
00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:10,275
Just a window shade
that comes all the way down.

704
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:11,586
Yep. Just to class
everything up.

705
00:25:11,586 --> 00:25:13,275
- These are nice and clean.
- This is beautiful.

706
00:25:13,275 --> 00:25:14,379
Yeah.

707
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:17,275
And that's called,
"Lustrous Sheer Silver."

708
00:25:17,275 --> 00:25:21,103
Well-suite Shadow.

709
00:25:21,103 --> 00:25:22,172
I'll tell you what--
pick the one

710
00:25:22,172 --> 00:25:23,689
that you think
you would like to do.

711
00:25:23,689 --> 00:25:24,724
I think I like
this one.

712
00:25:24,724 --> 00:25:26,137
Okay.
I'll let you name it.

713
00:25:26,137 --> 00:25:27,137
What do you want
to name it?

714
00:25:27,137 --> 00:25:29,172
I would name that...

715
00:25:29,172 --> 00:25:32,241
"Appaloosa Adventure."

716
00:25:32,241 --> 00:25:33,896
Appaloosa Adventure it is.

717
00:25:33,896 --> 00:25:35,448
Perfect. I like it.

718
00:25:35,448 --> 00:25:36,724
Do you think this
will make her happy?

719
00:25:36,724 --> 00:25:37,827
I do.

720
00:25:37,827 --> 00:25:39,172
She's going to love it.

721
00:25:39,172 --> 00:25:41,448
It's making me happy.
I really love it.

722
00:25:41,448 --> 00:25:43,793
Part of me
doesn't even want Ilana to know

723
00:25:43,793 --> 00:25:45,068
that I was part of this.

724
00:25:45,068 --> 00:25:48,724
Just to have her walk in,
and have, "What the..?"

725
00:25:48,724 --> 00:25:50,448
Alright.
I think we're good.

726
00:25:50,448 --> 00:25:54,137
Look who's taking over for
the Property Brothers--

727
00:25:54,137 --> 00:25:55,310
Property Brothers
and Sister.

728
00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:57,137
She's hired.

729

It's gonna be brilliant.

730

00:26:14,586 --> 00:26:15,965
and her family
return home,

734
00:26:15,965 --> 00:26:18,206

some lost time

735
00:26:18,206 --> 00:26:19,379
Over the weekend,

736
00:26:19,379 --> 00:26:22,689
our crew was able to get
the new hardware down

737
00:26:22,689 --> 00:26:24,103
and build
the kitchen island.

738
00:26:26,379 --> 00:26:28,172
So, today, while the new
centered stone hearth

739
00:26:28,172 --> 00:26:30,172
gets installed
for the fireplace,

740

Drew and I can start
finishing off the hood

Steady.

Don't scratch.

Up, up, up.
Tilt forward.

747

Tilt forward
just a hair.

Didn't you say
you guys prefer it

753
00:26:56,655 --> 00:26:58,551
when you can't hear me
or see me?

754

Yeah, I like to put Jonathan

I think the pop of color
between the vent hood

761
00:27:13,448 --> 00:27:15,172
and the island
is gonna be perfect.

762
00:27:15,172 --> 00:27:17,827
Yeah. It's a combination
of the color,

763
00:27:17,827 --> 00:27:20,793
having the beautiful backsplash
come right off the counters.

764

Shall we divide
and conquer?

765
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,137
Yeah. You want to do
the uppers,

00:27:50,413 --> 00:27:51,896
There's a lot,
still, to do.

780
00:27:54,965 --> 00:28:05,103
♪

781
00:28:05,103 --> 00:28:08,137
Itay has, like,
hundreds of bottles of wine,

782
00:28:08,137 --> 00:28:10,275
and they have had
nowhere to put them.

783
00:28:10,275 --> 00:28:13,034
So, having this,
it's gonna have a clean,

784
00:28:13,034 --> 00:28:15,413
continuous
glass surround.

785
00:28:15,413 --> 00:28:16,827
It's gonna look
pretty good.

786
00:28:16,827 --> 00:28:19,206
This old closet area,
it was a waste of space.

787
00:28:19,206 --> 00:28:20,448
Now, with this
open floor plan,

788
00:28:20,448 --> 00:28:22,344
it's the perfect area
to put a wine cabinet.

789
00:28:22,344 --> 00:28:25,827
This will be the perfect feature
for the in-house sommelier.

790
00:28:25,827 --> 00:28:27,758
So, how many bottles
are we gonna get in this?

791
00:28:27,758 --> 00:28:30,827
We'll get about 260, with all
the components together--

792
00:28:30,827 --> 00:28:33,724
especially using
riffed white oak,

793
00:28:33,724 --> 00:28:36,448
where we've got the
horizontal bottles up above.

794
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,241
You'll have angled displays
here in the center,

795
00:28:38,241 --> 00:28:41,551
and then, the pin storage on the
side for cork view.

796
00:28:41,551 --> 00:28:43,310
I mean, it's stylish, functional,

797
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:44,344
and it's gonna be
the centerpiece

798
00:28:44,344 --> 00:28:45,689
of every party
at this house.

799
00:28:45,689 --> 00:28:46,896
Yeah. You know
what's cool, too?

800
00:28:46,896 --> 00:28:49,586
I love the fact
the actual refrigeration system

801
00:28:49,586 --> 00:28:51,758
is hidden
on the bottom,

802
00:28:51,758 --> 00:28:53,862
and then just pumps
all the way up, circulates.

803
00:28:53,862 --> 00:28:55,379
I mean, that's brilliant.

804
00:28:55,379 --> 00:28:56,827
There's nothing bulky.

805
00:28:56,827 --> 00:28:58,448
It's all open.
It's all glass.

806
00:28:58,448 --> 00:28:59,586
And it's beautiful.

807
00:28:59,586 --> 00:29:01,379
As soon as Ilana
comes in here and sees this,

808
00:29:01,379 --> 00:29:03,034
they're gonna start planning
their first party.

809
00:29:03,034 --> 00:29:05,931
Pretty crazy.

810
00:29:05,931 --> 00:29:09,068
The last of the solar tubes
are being fit on the roof.

811
00:29:09,068 --> 00:29:12,000
They are a great way to bring
natural light into any room

812
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,241
without the hassle and expense
of a traditional skylight.

813
00:29:15,241 --> 00:29:18,034
Even though, technically, the
footprint of the new dining room

814
00:29:18,034 --> 00:29:19,862
is a little bit smaller,

815
00:29:19,862 --> 00:29:23,275
I think it's actually going to
feel bigger because of the light

816
00:29:23,275 --> 00:29:25,655
and the space-saving banquette
we're adding.

817
00:29:25,655 --> 00:29:28,068
I love that the bench is also
pulling the table over this way,

818
00:29:28,068 --> 00:29:29,862
so it's not obstructing
this walking path.

819
00:29:29,862 --> 00:29:33,172
- Exactly.
- They'll get their storage.

820
00:29:33,172 --> 00:29:35,517
It actually feel like a nice,
cozy nook, as well.

821
00:29:35,517 --> 00:29:36,896
It does.

822
00:29:36,896 --> 00:29:42,482
Should we be the first ones
to test the built-in banquette?

823
00:29:42,482 --> 00:29:44,482
Oh, man.

824
00:29:44,482 --> 00:29:46,655
This is it.

825
00:29:46,655 --> 00:29:47,689
What's the go-to dish?

826
00:29:47,689 --> 00:29:48,931
Do we know what Itay
likes to make?

827
00:29:48,931 --> 00:29:51,413
I'm thinking a lot of carbs,
and lots of goodness.

828
00:29:51,413 --> 00:29:52,724
This is great.

829
00:29:52,724 --> 00:29:54,241
Swapping the kitchen
and the dining space,

830
00:29:54,241 --> 00:29:56,896
so that you actually have
a better use of both areas,

831
00:29:56,896 --> 00:29:58,586
made a lot of sense
to us.

832
00:29:58,586 --> 00:30:00,793
Now, it's bright and open,
and you have sight lines.

833

So, that just means
that, the style,

on the cake.

1091
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,275
JONATHAN: Allison knows
you so well.

1092
00:40:16,275 --> 00:40:18,827
We would never know
what finishes to put in,

1093
00:40:18,827 --> 00:40:20,413
what to choose
for the color palette.

1094
00:40:20,413 --> 00:40:23,206
She was instrumental
in pulling it all together.

1095
00:40:23,206 --> 00:40:26,655
I'm overwhelmed
by this whole experience.

1096
00:40:26,655 --> 00:40:29,931
It's like the house
is so ridiculous.

1097
00:40:29,931 --> 00:40:32,034
I love you guys.

1098
00:40:32,034 --> 00:40:33,724
And you did this
for us.

1099
00:40:33,724 --> 00:40:36,241
And I'm so grateful
for you.

1100
00:40:36,241 --> 00:40:38,206
So grateful.

1101
00:40:38,206 --> 00:40:40,827
I mean, we're gonna
enjoy this so much.

1102
00:40:40,827 --> 00:40:44,379
When you gave me the opportunity
to do something like this,

1103
00:40:44,379 --> 00:40:46,655
I jumped at it, because...

1104
00:40:46,655 --> 00:40:49,965
because you--
because you've been there for me

1105
00:40:49,965 --> 00:40:53,827
for so many things,
so many moments of my life.

1106
00:40:53,827 --> 00:40:56,379
And it made things
so much easier,

1107
00:40:56,379 --> 00:40:57,517
and run smoother
for me.

1108
00:40:57,517 --> 00:40:59,310
And I wanted to
do that for you--

1109
00:40:59,310 --> 00:41:02,172
make your house a place that
you could feel more comfortable.

1110
00:41:02,172 --> 00:41:03,724
You have
an open invitation.

1111
00:41:03,724 --> 00:41:05,413
[ Laughs ]

1112
00:41:05,413 --> 00:41:06,793
Hey, let's go check out
the living room.

1113
00:41:06,793 --> 00:41:10,310
[ Indistinct talking ]

1114
00:41:10,310 --> 00:41:13,413
The floors are beautiful.
It lightens up the house.

1115
00:41:13,413 --> 00:41:16,137
ILANA: I just can't believe the,
from dark to light--

1116
00:41:16,137 --> 00:41:18,103
like, just the tonal colors
have changed.

1117
00:41:18,103 --> 00:41:19,965
This is amazing.

1118
00:41:19,965 --> 00:41:21,034
Whoa.

1119
00:41:21,034 --> 00:41:23,275
Is it comfy?

1120
00:41:23,275 --> 00:41:25,379
Oh, this is very comfortable.

1121
00:41:25,379 --> 00:41:28,379
This is a space that
is designed for families

1122
00:41:28,379 --> 00:41:30,724
to snuggle up,
and watch movies together,

1123
00:41:30,724 --> 00:41:32,965
with a beautiful
new fireplace.

1124
00:41:32,965 --> 00:41:35,000
I mean,
that's incredible.

1125
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,068
It's actually
your existing fireplace,

1126
00:41:37,068 --> 00:41:38,172
but we just refaced it.

1127
00:41:38,172 --> 00:41:39,724
It looks so good.

1128
00:41:39,724 --> 00:41:41,551
It looks
really beautiful.

1129
00:41:41,551 --> 00:41:43,137
Look at the size of this.

1130
00:41:43,137 --> 00:41:45,413
Is that real?

1131
00:41:45,413 --> 00:41:48,241
ILANA:
This is such a gift.

1132
00:41:48,241 --> 00:41:49,482
We're gonna calm down,

1133
00:41:49,482 --> 00:41:52,310
and just be able
to be in this space,

1134
00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:53,448
together, as a family.

1135
00:41:53,448 --> 00:41:54,724
And it's so beautiful.

1136
00:41:54,724 --> 00:41:56,896
I'm excited for
this next chapter.

1137
00:41:56,896 --> 00:42:00,793
I feel so blessed, and so lucky,
and so happy,

1138
00:42:00,793 --> 00:42:04,344
that my house looks
so freaking gorgeous.

1139
00:42:04,344 --> 00:42:05,965
I think now,
we should have, maybe,

1140
00:42:05,965 --> 00:42:08,896
a little of Ilana's
favorite thing to do,

1141
00:42:08,896 --> 00:42:11,310
is to have
a little cake.

1142
00:42:11,310 --> 00:42:12,620
- Yes.
- Ooh.

1143
00:42:12,620 --> 00:42:14,793
DREW: Allison and Ilana have
been there for each other

1144
00:42:14,793 --> 00:42:16,689
through so much
over the last 20 years,

1145
00:42:16,689 --> 00:42:18,655
but they've always been there
to support each other.

1146
00:42:18,655 --> 00:42:21,620
JONATHAN:
Yeah, I think it's almost like
a sisterly bond that they have.

1147
00:42:21,620 --> 00:42:23,655
They definitely
are like family.

1148
00:42:23,655 --> 00:42:26,172
Every good occasion
needs a cake.

1149
00:42:26,172 --> 00:42:28,068
You have to cut
the first piece.

1150
00:42:28,068 --> 00:42:30,103
Welcome home.

1151
00:42:30,103 --> 00:42:33,896
Thank you for just-- for making
this happen for my family.

1152
00:42:33,896 --> 00:42:37,517
It's so nice.
It's just so nice.

1153
00:42:37,517 --> 00:42:38,827
You are so welcome.

1154
00:42:38,827 --> 00:42:43,620
Thank you for making my life
so much better, and smoother.

1155
00:42:43,620 --> 00:42:44,689
Now, get back to work.

1156
00:42:47,482 --> 00:42:49,724
To your brand-new kitchen
and home.

1157
00:42:49,724 --> 00:42:51,517
To all the wonderful times
you're gonna have here.

1158
00:42:51,517 --> 00:42:57,379
And to 20 more years of being
not only workmates, but family.

1159
00:42:58,758 --> 00:43:00,517
DREW: Cheers.

1160
00:43:00,517 --> 00:43:02,517
Cheers.
Wait. I missed you.
