1
00:00:01,896 --> 00:00:03,655
[Drew Scott] From
an X-Men superhero
to a Bruised MMA brawler,
2
00:00:03,655 --> 00:00:07,724
this Academy Award-winning
megastar is no stranger
to turbulent roles.
3
00:00:07,724 --> 00:00:09,344
On John Wick,
I broke three ribs,
4
00:00:09,344 --> 00:00:11,551
- and on Bruised,
I broke two ribs.
- Wow.
5
00:00:11,551 --> 00:00:13,448
[Drew] What many don't know
is that Halle Berry had
6
00:00:13,448 --> 00:00:15,655
some of her toughest
challenges as a youngster.
7
00:00:15,655 --> 00:00:18,310
My mom was a single mom,
and so she worked a lot.
8
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:20,034
So my sister and I were
very much latchkey kids.
9
00:00:20,034 --> 00:00:21,379
[Drew] Until she met Yvonne.
10
00:00:21,379 --> 00:00:22,793
She would take me
to art museums,
11
00:00:22,793 --> 00:00:24,103
teach me about Black history.
12
00:00:24,103 --> 00:00:25,034
Hey!
13
00:00:25,034 --> 00:00:26,655
[Drew] Now she's saying
a huge thank you
14
00:00:26,655 --> 00:00:30,206
to her 5th grade teacher
and 40-year mentor
15
00:00:30,206 --> 00:00:31,379
with a love-filled surprise.
16
00:00:31,379 --> 00:00:33,034
Opening this up
would be great.
17
00:00:33,034 --> 00:00:36,862
[Drew] Halle is
dropping the gloves
and getting to business
18
00:00:36,862 --> 00:00:38,724
Oh! That was good.
19
00:00:38,724 --> 00:00:41,482
[Drew] ...to turn Yvonne's
1920s heritage home
20
00:00:41,482 --> 00:00:43,275
The dark one
in the dining room,
would that work?
21
00:00:43,275 --> 00:00:45,000
[Drew] ...into
a modern-meets-cozy oasis...
22
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,965
Eyes closed.
23
00:00:45,965 --> 00:00:47,275
[Drew] ...for the woman
Halle says...
24
00:00:47,275 --> 00:00:49,275
- [Halle Berry] Open.
- [Drew] ...changed her life.
25
00:00:49,275 --> 00:00:51,137
Oh, my goodness.

27
00:01:04,827 --> 00:01:07,068
- Do you miss this weather?
- I mean, it is beautiful.
28
00:01:07,068 --> 00:01:08,034
It is beautiful.
29
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:09,241
I don't like driving
in this kind of weather.
30
00:01:09,241 --> 00:01:11,068
I mean, we're from Canada,
so we're used to this.
31
00:01:11,068 --> 00:01:12,620
So if you want me
to do donuts or anything,
32
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,034
- I can do that.
- [Halle laughs]
33
00:01:14,034 --> 00:01:15,413
[Jonathan Scott] How long
has it been since
you've been here?
34
00:01:15,413 --> 00:01:17,586
Probably 20 years.
35
00:01:17,586 --> 00:01:20,241
- [both] Oh, wow.
- I know, crazy, right? 20...
36
00:01:20,241 --> 00:01:22,172
Yvonne always comes to see me.
37
00:01:22,172 --> 00:01:23,793
[Jonathan] When did you
first move to LA?
38
00:01:23,793 --> 00:01:25,931
First, I went
from Cleveland to Chicago,
39
00:01:25,931 --> 00:01:27,827
and then Chicago to New York,
40
00:01:27,827 --> 00:01:29,379
and then to California.
41
00:01:29,379 --> 00:01:31,620
- 'Cause you were
a pageant girl, right?
- I was.
42
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:34,068
- And so...
- What was your talent, your...
43
00:01:34,068 --> 00:01:37,103
- I had none. [laughs]
- What? No way. Come on.
44
00:01:37,103 --> 00:01:41,413
- [Jonathan laughs]
- We didn't have to have
a talent for Miss Teen Ohio.
45
00:01:41,413 --> 00:01:44,517
[Jonathan] You're
a boxer in Bruised
and you're taking hits.
46
00:01:44,517 --> 00:01:47,103
Have you taken any actual hits
or is it all Hollywood-style?
47
00:01:47,103 --> 00:01:51,068
I've taken so many hits,
Jonathan, [laughing]
you have no idea.
48
00:01:51,068 --> 00:01:53,103
On John Wick,
I broke three ribs.
49
00:01:53,103 --> 00:01:54,068
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, wow.
50
00:01:54,068 --> 00:01:56,034
Yeah, and on Bruised,
I broke two ribs.
51
00:01:56,034 --> 00:01:58,068
[Drew] In Bruised,
you're an MMA fighter,
52
00:01:58,068 --> 00:01:59,931
so can you bring your A game
to this demolition?
53
00:01:59,931 --> 00:02:02,586
I'm gonna bring
my A game for sure.
54
00:02:02,586 --> 00:02:04,448
I'm just gonna show up,
walk in her house.
55
00:02:04,448 --> 00:02:06,965
I'm sure she's gonna be
where she always is,
56
00:02:06,965 --> 00:02:08,586
at the, uh, kitchen table.
57
00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:12,103
You know, I used
to think that I was
the only one that had
58
00:02:12,103 --> 00:02:14,310
this great relationship
with this teacher,
59
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:16,275
but there's so many students
that feel about her
60
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:17,965
the way I feel about her.
61
00:02:17,965 --> 00:02:21,000
I couldn't think of anybody
who deserves something
as wonderful as this than her.
62
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,344
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
- My mom was a single mom,
and so she worked a lot.
63
00:02:24,344 --> 00:02:26,965
So my sister and I were
very much latchkey kids.
64
00:02:26,965 --> 00:02:29,241
She sort of took me in
under her wing.
65
00:02:29,241 --> 00:02:30,827
I have a white mother,
66
00:02:30,827 --> 00:02:34,000
and she, being a Black woman,
taught me about my culture.
67
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,793
We had this thing
called cookie talks.
68
00:02:35,793 --> 00:02:37,103
I would go to her house,
69
00:02:37,103 --> 00:02:38,172
and we'd sit
at the kitchen table
70
00:02:38,172 --> 00:02:39,896
and have really
deep conversations.
71
00:02:39,896 --> 00:02:42,793
You know, if she hadn't
come into my life,
72
00:02:42,793 --> 00:02:44,655
my life would've been
completely different.
73
00:02:44,655 --> 00:02:48,310
She was really like
a second mother,
in many ways.
74
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:50,172
- It's the house right here,
see that?
- [Drew] Okay.
75
00:02:50,172 --> 00:02:52,448
Halle has known Yvonne
for over 40 years,
76
00:02:52,448 --> 00:02:54,000
since Halle was
just a little kid.
77
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,689
- [Jonathan] Are we going
in the front or the side door?
- [Halle] Side door.
78
00:02:55,689 --> 00:02:57,689
[Jonathan] You know
someone's special in your life
79
00:02:57,689 --> 00:02:59,758
when you keep them
in your life that long.
80
00:02:59,758 --> 00:03:01,034
Usually open.
81
00:03:01,034 --> 00:03:03,586
- [Drew] I've known
you 43 years.
- You're very special.
82
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
[Halle] Yvonne?
83
00:03:07,379 --> 00:03:08,482
[Yvonne] Yes?
84
00:03:08,482 --> 00:03:11,620
- Hey! How are you?
- [Halle laughs]
85
00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:13,344
[Yvonne laughs]
86
00:03:13,344 --> 00:03:17,724
How are you? Oh, I can't
believe you're here
in the flesh. [chuckles]
87
00:03:18,241 --> 00:03:19,241
Aw.
88
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:22,655
[chuckles]
89
00:03:23,896 --> 00:03:25,655
- [tearfully] How are you?
- I'm good.
90
00:03:25,655 --> 00:03:29,724
Nothing in here is different,
[both laughing] like,
since I was 10.
91
00:03:30,931 --> 00:03:33,586
- I have a surprise for you.
- What?
92
00:03:33,586 --> 00:03:36,068
- She brought a couple
bodyguards with her.
- [Halle laughs]
93
00:03:36,068 --> 00:03:37,482
[Drew] Hello.
94
00:03:37,482 --> 00:03:39,689
- Oh, my gosh.
- [Halle] Do you know
these guys?
95
00:03:39,689 --> 00:03:41,379
- The Property Brothers.
- [Halle] Yes.
96
00:03:41,379 --> 00:03:42,896
When I saw them,
97
00:03:42,896 --> 00:03:45,068
I was like, oh...
98
00:03:45,068 --> 00:03:49,344
This is family, so I can't say
what I wanna... [laughing]
99
00:03:49,344 --> 00:03:52,551
And guess what?
[screaming] We're gonna
redo your whole thing!
100
00:03:52,551 --> 00:03:53,827
- [Jonathan laughs]
- What?
101
00:03:53,827 --> 00:03:56,034
This, I didn't even know
how much of a makeover
this needed,
102
00:03:56,034 --> 00:03:59,034
- but this needs a makeover!
- [laughs]
103
00:03:59,034 --> 00:04:00,689
- You deserve it.
- Aw.
104
00:04:00,689 --> 00:04:03,482
[crying] There's nobody
who's been more selfless
105
00:04:04,413 --> 00:04:06,034
and helped so many people,
106
00:04:06,034 --> 00:04:08,241
not just me, hundreds of kids,
107
00:04:08,241 --> 00:04:11,206
and nobody deserves this more.
108
00:04:13,413 --> 00:04:16,931
I met Yvonne
when I was 10 years old.
109
00:04:16,931 --> 00:04:19,034
Uh, she was
my fifth grade teacher.
110
00:04:19,034 --> 00:04:22,310
I was at a school
that was predominantly white,
111
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:25,965
and she was a Black teacher,
one of two Black teachers
at the time,
112
00:04:25,965 --> 00:04:27,103
and it was a great gift.
113
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:33,620
I take my career
as an educator as a mission.
114
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,482
That's what God
put me here to do,
115
00:04:35,482 --> 00:04:38,413
to impact lives
in a positive way,
116
00:04:38,413 --> 00:04:41,206
in a nurturing way,
in an encouraging way.
117
00:04:41,206 --> 00:04:43,965
She and I had an instant...
[mimics suction]
118
00:04:43,965 --> 00:04:45,827
I think she saw
the need in me.
119
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:47,896
She saw that I needed
to be mentored,
120
00:04:47,896 --> 00:04:50,310
and she stepped in.
121
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:54,275
Halle was eager to learn
more about herself,
122
00:04:54,275 --> 00:04:57,758
more about herself,
being of mixed heritage.
123
00:04:57,758 --> 00:05:00,655
[Halle] She would take me
to art museums, teach me
about Black history,
124
00:05:00,655 --> 00:05:03,448
about my heritage,
because it wasn't really
taught in schools.
125
00:05:03,448 --> 00:05:05,827
She just picked me up,
you know,
126
00:05:05,827 --> 00:05:09,482
and quickly became
more than a mentor,
127
00:05:09,482 --> 00:05:13,310
almost like another mother.
128
00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:17,931
[Yvonne] I watched her
evolve from being
a fifth-grade little girl
129
00:05:17,931 --> 00:05:20,034
to being the woman
that she is now,
130
00:05:20,034 --> 00:05:24,724
and a lot that has contributed
to that are the hard knocks.
131
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:28,344
It wasn't easy
for the Black kids.
132
00:05:28,344 --> 00:05:31,344
It definitely wasn't easy
for the mixed-race kids.
133
00:05:31,344 --> 00:05:34,206
Yvonne is just a ray of light,
134
00:05:34,206 --> 00:05:36,827
and anybody who meets her
is affected by it.
135
00:05:36,827 --> 00:05:40,034
I've watched
her pour not only
all of herself into me,
136
00:05:40,034 --> 00:05:42,793
but she's poured
into other students,
137
00:05:42,793 --> 00:05:46,172
into her community,
into her own two beautiful
daughters that she has,
138
00:05:46,172 --> 00:05:48,103
into her husband,
into her relationship,
139
00:05:48,103 --> 00:05:50,482
and there are some people
in this world
140
00:05:50,482 --> 00:05:52,931
that are just here
to give to the others,
141
00:05:52,931 --> 00:05:54,620
and she's one of those people.
142
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,137
[Yvonne] I am overwhelmingly
proud of her.
143
00:05:57,137 --> 00:06:00,034
I don't doubt that Halle
and I have made
144
00:06:00,034 --> 00:06:02,103
a real connection in life
145
00:06:02,103 --> 00:06:05,724
that is going to take us
through the duration.
146
00:06:05,724 --> 00:06:10,034
What that means to me is,
"I think we got it right."
147
00:06:10,034 --> 00:06:12,586
I know she's always gonna be
a soft place to land,
148
00:06:12,586 --> 00:06:16,103
so this was
a great opportunity
for me to say,
149
00:06:16,103 --> 00:06:20,620
"Here, let's have us
give back to you."
150
00:06:20,620 --> 00:06:25,103
And I knew this would be
the only way I would probably
ever get inside her house
151
00:06:25,103 --> 00:06:29,241
and get to give her, you know,
this huge, huge gift.
152
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:34,586
[Jonathan] How would you feel
if we put you in detention
153
00:06:34,586 --> 00:06:36,413
and kick you out of your house
for a little bit
154
00:06:36,413 --> 00:06:38,379
while we, uh, figure out
what we wanna do?
155
00:06:38,379 --> 00:06:40,448
- That...
- That's gonna be hard.
156
00:06:40,448 --> 00:06:42,896
- That is major.
- [Jonathan laughs]
157
00:06:42,896 --> 00:06:44,241
Major.
158
00:06:44,241 --> 00:06:45,448
They're gonna kick you out,
159
00:06:45,448 --> 00:06:48,206
and then I'm gonna get you
a little rental house
160
00:06:48,206 --> 00:06:50,103
that you're gonna have
to go to for a while,
161
00:06:50,103 --> 00:06:51,413
'cause this is gonna
take a minute.
162
00:06:51,413 --> 00:06:54,344
I still can't wrap my brain
around the fact
163
00:06:54,344 --> 00:06:56,275
- that you three
are here, okay?
- [all laughing]
164
00:06:56,275 --> 00:07:03,137
When I think of a makeover,
I think of, oh, okay, hair,
makeup, a new outfit.
165
00:07:03,137 --> 00:07:04,896
Halle can come meet you
for lunch in a little bit.
166
00:07:04,896 --> 00:07:06,655
We're just gonna
look at the place,
167
00:07:06,655 --> 00:07:08,241
and then she'll give you
the rest of the details.
168
00:07:08,241 --> 00:07:10,517
But it'll be a nice place
that you're in in the meantime
169
00:07:10,517 --> 00:07:13,482
- until we make this
the perfect, beautiful home.
- Okay.
170
00:07:13,482 --> 00:07:15,620
You're coming to do
over the house?
171
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:16,931
The, the, you know...
172
00:07:16,931 --> 00:07:19,448
That is monumental.
173
00:07:19,448 --> 00:07:21,344
I've got a car
waiting for you outside.
174
00:07:21,344 --> 00:07:23,413
They're gonna take you
to your favorite lunch spot,
175
00:07:23,413 --> 00:07:25,413
and then, uh, I'll see you
a little bit later.
176
00:07:25,413 --> 00:07:26,689
Wow.
177
00:07:26,689 --> 00:07:29,000
My mind is just
completely blown.
178
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,758
What an enormous gift.
179
00:07:31,758 --> 00:07:33,310
Thank you so much.
180
00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:34,724
Go, go get your coat.
181
00:07:34,724 --> 00:07:37,034
I have so much
gratitude to this.
182
00:07:37,034 --> 00:07:39,655
- You've been in this kitchen
for decades.
- Yes.
183
00:07:39,655 --> 00:07:43,310
So what is it that you think
needs to change
the most for her?
184
00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:44,793
She does work here a lot.
185
00:07:44,793 --> 00:07:47,103
As you see, she was sitting
here when I came here, so...
186
00:07:47,103 --> 00:07:49,482
Like many houses,
the kitchen is the hub.
187
00:07:49,482 --> 00:07:51,758
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
- So I would love
to redesign this
188
00:07:51,758 --> 00:07:53,413
so that it's
functional for her.
189
00:07:53,413 --> 00:07:55,000
They gather in her kitchen.
190
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,413
I gathered in her kitchen
when I was little.
191
00:07:57,413 --> 00:07:59,103
She now works in her kitchen.
192
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:01,896
So, how can we make this space
functional as a kitchen,
193
00:08:01,896 --> 00:08:04,551
but also let it be, like,
a pseudo-office for her?
194
00:08:04,551 --> 00:08:05,862
[Jonathan] There is
enough space,
195
00:08:05,862 --> 00:08:08,000
especially if we were
able to pull this back
a little bit,
196
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,586
we could integrate a peninsula
197
00:08:10,586 --> 00:08:12,000
and have
built-in seating there.
198
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,206
- So, then...
- Oh, that would be great.
199
00:08:13,206 --> 00:08:15,172
Yeah, 'cause then she gets
storage as well,
200
00:08:15,172 --> 00:08:16,724
- which would be nice.
- [Drew] Mmm-hmm.
201
00:08:16,724 --> 00:08:21,172
I 100% would wanna try
and get rid of whatever
that post is over there,
202
00:08:21,172 --> 00:08:23,517
- because then we could
have seamless storage.
- [Halle] Right.
203
00:08:23,517 --> 00:08:25,172
And I also know
she likes to cook.
204
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:26,689
I mean, we did have
cookie talks in here.
205
00:08:26,689 --> 00:08:28,310
- [Drew] Yeah.
- [Halle] So, she likes to bake
and she likes to cook.
206
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:30,137
We would definitely
redo the appliances.
207
00:08:30,137 --> 00:08:31,689
We'll redo the storage.
208
00:08:31,689 --> 00:08:33,689
We'll make sure
that everything's
integrated properly,
209
00:08:33,689 --> 00:08:35,241
so it just looks streamlined.
210
00:08:35,241 --> 00:08:36,896
[Halle] Can we redo
the blinds?
211
00:08:36,896 --> 00:08:37,862
Can she have
something different?
212
00:08:39,586 --> 00:08:41,482
- [Jonathan] Done.
- [Halle laughs]
213
00:08:41,482 --> 00:08:43,655
This is not a blind.
This is fashion.
214
00:08:43,655 --> 00:08:45,413
- [Halle laughs]
- [Jonathan] That's
a good look.
215
00:08:45,413 --> 00:08:48,206
I think we can do a little
something different
that works for her.
216
00:08:48,206 --> 00:08:49,448
[laughs] I think so.
217
00:08:49,448 --> 00:08:51,482
This kitchen needs
a little sophistication,
kinda like me.
218
00:08:51,482 --> 00:08:53,344
So, we need to add
a little bit of color
to the space.
219
00:08:53,344 --> 00:08:55,172
[chuckles] No, no,
I don't agree with that.
220
00:08:55,172 --> 00:08:57,000
I agree that the kitchen
needs sophistication,
221
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,482
but that's a no.
222
00:08:58,482 --> 00:09:01,965
What if this whole wall
could go,
223
00:09:01,965 --> 00:09:03,827
and we can make it
a more open floor plan
224
00:09:03,827 --> 00:09:05,551
- so it could flow
into the dining room?
- [Drew] Oh, yeah.
225
00:09:05,551 --> 00:09:07,586
I agree with you.
I think that would be
the most important.
226
00:09:07,586 --> 00:09:09,137
But probably
the most complicated, too,
227
00:09:09,137 --> 00:09:11,310
depending on whether or not
this is a structural wall.
228
00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:14,413
Okay, well,
let's go investigate.
229
00:09:14,413 --> 00:09:15,413
- [mock coughing]
- Yes, okay.
230
00:09:16,172 --> 00:09:17,310
[Halle] Okay, see?
231
00:09:17,310 --> 00:09:18,896
[Drew] Oh, yeah,
a swinging door
that doesn't swing.
232
00:09:18,896 --> 00:09:21,137
- Oh, ta-da!
- [Jonathan] It's a good look.
You might wanna keep that.
233
00:09:21,137 --> 00:09:23,068
I'll just, you know,
tuck this over here for now.
234
00:09:23,068 --> 00:09:25,689
- [Jonathan] Okay, this is
a good-sized room.
- [Halle] Yeah.
235
00:09:25,689 --> 00:09:27,137
[Jonathan] But what's so funny
236
00:09:27,137 --> 00:09:29,310
is it's so closed off
from the kitchen
237
00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:30,862
that it just makes it feel
238
00:09:30,862 --> 00:09:33,241
- smaller than it is.
- Yeah, that's why opening it
up would be great, right?
239
00:09:33,241 --> 00:09:35,931
- It would be a better flow.
- [Jonathan] This would
be transformational.
240
00:09:35,931 --> 00:09:40,758
You can tell that she is
very proud of her girls
and her family.
241
00:09:40,758 --> 00:09:43,724
- Oh, you're...
- Yeah, look at me.
I'm first, I'm first notice.
242
00:09:43,724 --> 00:09:45,448
- See that?
- [Jonathan laughs] Yeah.
243
00:09:45,448 --> 00:09:47,793
That's me, and then,
there's her two daughters.
244
00:09:47,793 --> 00:09:51,310
Her husband, Rufus.
She's very family.
245
00:09:51,310 --> 00:09:54,620
- So you spent a lot of time
running around this place?
- A lot of time in here,
246
00:09:54,620 --> 00:09:57,275
- watching TV over there...
- So, you're responsible
for this carpet?
247
00:09:57,275 --> 00:09:58,965
- [all laugh]
- [Jonathan] Look at all
the wear and tear.
248
00:09:58,965 --> 00:10:00,103
- [Halle] Ugh, I know.
- You can tell how many kids
249
00:10:00,103 --> 00:10:01,206
have been running
around in here.
250
00:10:01,206 --> 00:10:02,275
[Halle] I know.
251
00:10:02,275 --> 00:10:03,965
Can we take this up?
252
00:10:03,965 --> 00:10:05,793
[Jonathan] Yeah, I was just
gonna say, I wonder if there
is hardwood under here.
253
00:10:06,896 --> 00:10:08,310
[Drew] Oh, yeah. There is.
254
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:09,931
- [Halle] Cool.
- [Drew] Oh, wow.
It's in great shape, too.
255
00:10:09,931 --> 00:10:12,034
If it's in that good
of shape everywhere,
256
00:10:12,034 --> 00:10:13,586
we may as well just lace in.
257
00:10:13,586 --> 00:10:15,241
This is a beautiful
older home.
258
00:10:15,241 --> 00:10:18,206
We just wanna bring it
some current function
and beauty.
259
00:10:18,206 --> 00:10:20,758
And could that floor
still sweep in there, too?
260
00:10:20,758 --> 00:10:23,137
- [Drew] Yeah.
- [Jonathan] We basically cut
back these boards,
261
00:10:23,137 --> 00:10:25,482
and then we lace it in,
so you would never
even know the seam,
262
00:10:25,482 --> 00:10:27,379
and then, once we sand
and stain everything...
263
00:10:27,379 --> 00:10:28,862
Boom. Perfect.
264
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:31,034
See if my memory
serves me well.
265
00:10:31,034 --> 00:10:35,103
She used to keep in here
letters from her students.
266
00:10:35,103 --> 00:10:38,482
- Ah! Still here. [laughing]
- [Drew laughs] It's still
the letter drawer.
267
00:10:38,482 --> 00:10:40,931
- Old letters.
- I feel like I'm snooping
right now,
268
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:44,448
We looked into her drawer,
and she had all the letters
269
00:10:44,448 --> 00:10:46,586
from all of her students.
270
00:10:46,586 --> 00:10:49,551
I mean, she saved these things
for 30, 40 years.
271
00:10:49,551 --> 00:10:51,758
Oh, my God,
"Ms. Sims, Ms. Sims."
272
00:10:51,758 --> 00:10:54,275
This was my daughter
when she was born.
273
00:10:54,275 --> 00:10:55,655
- Oh, my God.
- Aw.
274
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:59,896
If we could give her,
um, a special place
to put these...
275
00:10:59,896 --> 00:11:01,310
- [Jonathan] Definitely.
- [Halle] ...that
would be amazing.
276
00:11:01,310 --> 00:11:02,965
[Drew] There's so many more
that are in the drawer here,
277
00:11:02,965 --> 00:11:04,620
so we'll find something
for organization.
278
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:06,137
[Halle] This is what
she's most proudest of,
279
00:11:06,137 --> 00:11:09,620
the way she's touched
the lives of all these
other students.
280
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:11,689
If I remember, there is a...
281
00:11:11,689 --> 00:11:13,896
Yes, a radiator.
282
00:11:13,896 --> 00:11:15,344
See right here, this thing
has never worked
283
00:11:15,344 --> 00:11:16,448
in all the years
I've been here.
284
00:11:16,448 --> 00:11:17,793
It still doesn't.
285
00:11:17,793 --> 00:11:20,068
We can check that out,
because it could be
a problem here.
286
00:11:20,068 --> 00:11:22,379
It could be something
with the connection.
It could be the boiler.
287
00:11:22,379 --> 00:11:24,862
She and her husband spend
a lot of time here.
288
00:11:24,862 --> 00:11:27,344
- Reading, watching TV...
- Okay.
289
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:29,655
We can find a way to make it
a little bit more comfortable.
290
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:31,724
I mean, obviously these
furniture pieces are quite old
291
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:33,655
and nothing really
works together.
292
00:11:33,655 --> 00:11:35,931
So we can give
a better function and flow.
293
00:11:35,931 --> 00:11:37,379
Oh, wow, I just noticed
above your head.
294
00:11:37,379 --> 00:11:38,862
There's obviously an issue.
295
00:11:38,862 --> 00:11:41,137
- [Halle] Oh, water damage.
- What's above this?
296
00:11:41,137 --> 00:11:42,482
- I think a balcony.
- [Jonathan] Okay.
297
00:11:42,482 --> 00:11:43,931
If it's a balcony, it's flat,
298
00:11:43,931 --> 00:11:45,586
so that's probably
the membrane over time
299
00:11:45,586 --> 00:11:47,000
that has given away.
300
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,482
I would not be surprised
301
00:11:48,482 --> 00:11:50,965
if there was
a substantial amount
of water damage up there.
302
00:11:50,965 --> 00:11:53,482
Between water damage,
framing, beam work,
the kitchen...
303
00:11:53,482 --> 00:11:56,551
Bookshelves like this,
like it's sagging.
304
00:11:56,551 --> 00:11:57,620
- It's a lot of work.
- Yeah.
305
00:11:58,517 --> 00:12:00,448
Halle wants to preserve
the history
306
00:12:00,448 --> 00:12:03,241
and elevate the beauty
of Yvonne's heritage home.
307
00:12:03,241 --> 00:12:05,793
In the kitchen, our goal is
to install new hardwood
308
00:12:05,793 --> 00:12:08,379
that will lace into the home's
original floors elsewhere.
309
00:12:08,379 --> 00:12:11,068
Then, we'll add custom
cabinetry along the back wall
310
00:12:11,068 --> 00:12:13,517
for modern sophistication
and much-needed storage,
311
00:12:13,517 --> 00:12:16,896
while elegant black quartz
countertops become
the perfect palette
312
00:12:16,896 --> 00:12:19,103
for Yvonne's favorite
pastime, baking.
313
00:12:19,103 --> 00:12:20,344
We'll add a peninsula
314
00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:22,517
that will flex
as a culinary prep space
315
00:12:22,517 --> 00:12:24,620
and a nucleus
for grandkid get-togethers,
316
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:27,448
then, add a circular,
wood tabletop on one end
317
00:12:27,448 --> 00:12:29,620
to double as a workspace
for Yvonne
318
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:32,068
and a spot
for her renowned cookie talks.
319
00:12:32,068 --> 00:12:33,931
Halle wants
to open up the space,
320
00:12:33,931 --> 00:12:36,103
so we'll remove the wall
to the dining room,
321
00:12:36,103 --> 00:12:37,689
tear up that tired carpet,
322
00:12:37,689 --> 00:12:39,793
and restore the original
hardwood below,
323
00:12:39,793 --> 00:12:44,000
then, add a chic dining set,
ideal for entertaining
family and friends.
324
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,620
Finally, the study.
325
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:49,000
We'll replace
the sagging bookshelves
with custom built-ins
326
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,758
and sleek, accessible drawers
327
00:12:50,758 --> 00:12:52,448
for Yvonne's
cherished letters.
328
00:12:52,448 --> 00:12:55,172
Cozy furniture will
finish off this oasis,
329
00:12:55,172 --> 00:12:57,068
giving Yvonne
and her husband, Rufus,
330
00:12:57,068 --> 00:13:00,172
a space to read and relax
at the end of a long day.
331
00:13:00,172 --> 00:13:03,793
What do you think,
maybe a month,
she has to be out?
332
00:13:03,793 --> 00:13:05,862
Maybe four or five weeks,
something like that.
333
00:13:06,793 --> 00:13:07,931
[tearfully] She really
needs this.
334
00:13:09,275 --> 00:13:11,965
And it just hit me
that she really needs...
[breath trembling]
335
00:13:12,862 --> 00:13:14,413
Well, she's an amazing woman,
336
00:13:14,413 --> 00:13:16,482
and I'm so glad that you've
introduced us to her
337
00:13:16,482 --> 00:13:18,068
and that we can
do this for her.
338
00:13:18,068 --> 00:13:19,793
- [mouthing] Thank you.
- Of course.
339
00:13:20,965 --> 00:13:22,000
Guess what?
340
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,655
It's gonna be beautiful
and it's gonna be safe.
341
00:13:24,655 --> 00:13:26,965
And you know what?
There's one other thing
I need to do.
342
00:13:29,310 --> 00:13:30,689
[Halle] Oh, now you need
a scarf? [chuckles]
343
00:13:31,517 --> 00:13:32,758
No, you need a scarf.
344
00:13:32,758 --> 00:13:34,586
- [laughs] Oh, I need a scarf.
- [Jonathan] Oh, no, so dusty!
345
00:13:34,586 --> 00:13:37,000
- There we go. This way.
- Oh. [all laughing]
346
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,206
I am so proud that I could
come and give her a gift
347
00:13:42,206 --> 00:13:45,931
that's just going
to uplift her way of life,
it really will.
348
00:13:45,931 --> 00:13:49,482
She doesn't know it yet,
but it's going to really
uplift her way of life.
349
00:13:49,482 --> 00:13:50,896
And I hope at the end
of the day,
350
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:52,517
it makes her know
how much she's loved.
351
00:14:04,034 --> 00:14:06,620
So, what would this
blockbuster movie be called?
352
00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:10,413
[Drew] This would be,
"Demo Dame."
353
00:14:10,413 --> 00:14:14,724
- [both] "The Demo Dame."
- [mimic intense music]
354
00:14:14,724 --> 00:14:15,689
[Drew] What's your stance?
355
00:14:15,689 --> 00:14:17,310
I'm either that
or I'm southpaw.
356
00:14:17,310 --> 00:14:19,068
- Oh, see, I'm a southpaw.
- Are you really?
357
00:14:19,068 --> 00:14:20,344
Yeah, so I'm a southpaw,
so I always...
358
00:14:20,344 --> 00:14:22,103
When we did karate,
I would have my left
hand forward,
359
00:14:22,103 --> 00:14:24,620
- because people would think
that I'm a righty, but then...
- [Halle] Right, boom.
360
00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:26,103
- Well, they think I'm a...
- [grunts]
361
00:14:27,517 --> 00:14:29,482
[Drew groaning]
362
00:14:29,482 --> 00:14:31,137
- You gotta kick him.
- [Drew] Let's go, let's go!
363
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:32,482
- Whatever you need, Ms. Berry.
- Did that scare you?
364
00:14:32,482 --> 00:14:34,517
- [both laugh]
- She whooped your butt.
365
00:14:34,517 --> 00:14:35,931
- [Halle grunts]
- Oh, yeah!
366
00:14:35,931 --> 00:14:37,620
- And...
- Ah!
367
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:39,931
- [Drew groans]
- [all laughing]
368
00:14:39,931 --> 00:14:41,482
[Halle] Now you're
just showing off.
369
00:14:41,482 --> 00:14:43,517
Let's not fight.
Let's, let's demo.
370
00:14:45,379 --> 00:14:46,896
- Do you think
you could take her?
- Yeah, I could take her.
371
00:14:46,896 --> 00:14:47,965
No way.
372
00:14:47,965 --> 00:14:49,689
Are you, like,
an aggressive person?
373
00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:51,793
- Are you a competitive person?
- Very.
374
00:14:51,793 --> 00:14:53,827
- Oh, yeah?
- Yes. [all laughing]
375
00:14:53,827 --> 00:14:55,241
That's why I do those movies.
376
00:14:55,241 --> 00:14:57,172
Yes, aggressive.
Yes, competitive.
377
00:14:57,172 --> 00:14:58,517
- Yes, all of that.
- [Drew] That is therapy.
378
00:14:59,965 --> 00:15:01,482
I am competitive.
379
00:15:01,482 --> 00:15:03,517
If somebody says, "Show me
how you can beat the crap
out of something,"
380
00:15:03,517 --> 00:15:04,862
I wanna be the best.
381
00:15:06,413 --> 00:15:07,586
Whoa! Let's go!
382
00:15:07,586 --> 00:15:10,482
All these action-packed roles
that Halle has played...
383
00:15:11,413 --> 00:15:13,551
Oh! That was good.
384
00:15:13,551 --> 00:15:16,413
She took that skillset
and she put it right
into the demolition
385
00:15:16,413 --> 00:15:17,758
and she kicked
this house's butt.
386
00:15:20,344 --> 00:15:22,206
Sorry, Yvonne,
but this has to go.
387
00:15:22,206 --> 00:15:23,724
[Jonathan] Normally,
when I do demolition,
388
00:15:23,724 --> 00:15:26,241
I do usually walk in
in slow motion,
389
00:15:26,241 --> 00:15:28,586
like your Bond scene
where you walked
out of the ocean.
390
00:15:28,586 --> 00:15:30,655
- I usually walk in...
- But you need a bikini
for that, though.
391
00:15:30,655 --> 00:15:33,000
- I can change in the bathroom.
- No, no, no, no.
392
00:15:35,965 --> 00:15:38,758
You know, if they ever needed
a Property Sister...
393
00:15:40,068 --> 00:15:41,206
- Ah!
- All right.
394
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
...I'd be down.
395
00:15:44,724 --> 00:15:46,137
[Jonathan] One, two, three.
396
00:15:52,206 --> 00:15:55,000
There was something
really exciting
397
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,689
about knocking
these walls down
398
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:59,551
so she could have
something new.
399
00:15:59,551 --> 00:16:04,413
I sense a feeling that I was
tearing down something
that would be rebuilt
400
00:16:04,413 --> 00:16:07,482
in a way that I know would
bring so much happiness
to this family.
401
00:16:07,482 --> 00:16:09,137
[Jonathan] For the first time
in history,
402
00:16:09,137 --> 00:16:10,241
you can see from...
403
00:16:10,241 --> 00:16:12,586
[Halle] Oh, my God,
from this room to that room.
404
00:16:12,586 --> 00:16:16,275
[Drew] This is going
to absolutely transform
how Yvonne uses the home.
405
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:18,620
[Halle] It totally is.
Already, look at that.
406
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:19,689
[Jonathan] This is
where you do
407
00:16:19,689 --> 00:16:21,482
your slow motion Bond walk,
408
00:16:21,482 --> 00:16:23,655
out of the ocean
into the dining room,
409
00:16:23,655 --> 00:16:25,000
where you just smashed
this wall down.
410
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,724
- So, if you walk
through there...
- [Halle] All right, like this.
411
00:16:26,724 --> 00:16:29,275
- You gotta get
hip dysplasia, though.
- [Drew laughs]
412
00:16:29,275 --> 00:16:31,413
[Drew] Jonathan does
that same walk all the time.
413
00:16:31,413 --> 00:16:33,034
- [Halle] Hip dysplasia.
- [Jonathan] Hold on,
let's see what I can do.
414
00:16:33,034 --> 00:16:34,275
[Halle] That's how you do it.
415
00:16:34,275 --> 00:16:35,896
Come on, Jonathan.
Let's do it.
416
00:16:35,896 --> 00:16:36,862
♪ Round round ♪
417
00:16:36,862 --> 00:16:38,068
♪ I'm coming around ♪
418
00:16:38,551 --> 00:16:40,310
♪ Yeah ♪
419
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:50,103
[Drew] Halle's left
to work on a film,
420
00:16:50,103 --> 00:16:52,551
but plans to fly back
whenever she can to help.
421
00:16:52,551 --> 00:16:54,724
[Jonathan] As far
as the demo goes,
we're doing our best
422
00:16:54,724 --> 00:16:56,379
to contain the work
to where it's needed,
423
00:16:56,379 --> 00:16:59,137
being mindful
of the heritage elements
that we wanna preserve.
424
00:16:59,137 --> 00:17:01,344
Most of the focus is
in the kitchen
425
00:17:01,344 --> 00:17:04,724
and flattening out
that back wall so we can
maximize cabinet space.
426
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:07,862
[Drew] We did discover
why the radiator wasn't
working in the study.
427
00:17:07,862 --> 00:17:10,448
Yvonne's boiler is
a 1920s original,
428
00:17:10,448 --> 00:17:11,793
so it needs to be replaced.
429
00:17:11,793 --> 00:17:13,689
Yvonne deserves
a stylish home,
430
00:17:13,689 --> 00:17:15,241
but it also needs to be
toasty and warm.
431
00:17:15,241 --> 00:17:17,655
[Jonathan] And finally,
we have to check out
that flat roof
432
00:17:17,655 --> 00:17:20,034
and figure out what's going on
on top of the study.
433
00:17:20,034 --> 00:17:21,655
Is there an issue
with the membrane?
434
00:17:21,655 --> 00:17:23,517
[Drew] I don't know
why I was the one
435
00:17:23,517 --> 00:17:26,000
who "volunteered" to go
up on the deck and shovel.
436
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I know why.
437
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,827
'Cause I would've
never fallen for it.
438
00:17:39,551 --> 00:17:41,137
[Drew] How are you
not done this yet?
439
00:17:41,137 --> 00:17:42,965
[Jonathan] Oh, I was
just taking my time,
440
00:17:42,965 --> 00:17:45,482
and all the inspecting
we're gonna do is
from under here.
441
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:48,551
So, you literally just made me
go stand out in the cold snow
for no reason?
442
00:17:48,551 --> 00:17:51,103
That's what brothers do.
Yeah, exactly. [laughs]
443
00:17:51,103 --> 00:17:52,344
Do you wanna inspect
from down here?
444
00:17:53,620 --> 00:17:54,758
There.
445
00:17:54,758 --> 00:17:56,862
Oh, my gosh.
What have we got here?
446
00:18:00,172 --> 00:18:01,896
There's definitely
evidence of moisture,
447
00:18:01,896 --> 00:18:03,517
and look how big the area is.
448
00:18:03,517 --> 00:18:05,724
You can actually notice
the bowing is even worse here,
449
00:18:05,724 --> 00:18:08,931
so I wouldn't be surprised
if this whole roof
was not done right.
450
00:18:08,931 --> 00:18:10,344
[Drew] We can rip
all this down.
451
00:18:10,344 --> 00:18:12,965
We're gonna wire for the new
recess lights anyway,
452
00:18:12,965 --> 00:18:14,758
and then we'll just have
somebody come in and do
the new membrane.
453
00:18:14,758 --> 00:18:17,172
[Jonathan] I wanna make sure
that this was not just, like,
454
00:18:17,172 --> 00:18:19,586
an enclosed porch
that was not done properly.
455
00:18:19,586 --> 00:18:21,448
We'll have the engineer come
and look at the framing
456
00:18:21,448 --> 00:18:22,655
and make sure
everything passes.
457
00:18:22,655 --> 00:18:23,758
Otherwise, we'll fix it.
458
00:18:23,758 --> 00:18:26,551
If we have to re-torch
the whole flat roof,
459
00:18:26,551 --> 00:18:28,551
that's a hit to the timeline.
460
00:18:28,551 --> 00:18:29,655
You sure you need
the engineer?
461
00:18:29,655 --> 00:18:30,620
- 'Cause I went up
and checked things out.
- Yeah.
462
00:18:30,620 --> 00:18:32,931
- What was your take?
- My, my take?
463
00:18:32,931 --> 00:18:36,689
- My, uh, diagnostic,
uh, final result? It was cold.
- [Jonathan chuckles]
464
00:18:43,965 --> 00:18:46,344
- Hey! How are you?
- [Halle laughs]
465
00:18:46,344 --> 00:18:49,931
[Drew] Oscar winner
Halle Berry is taking a trip
down memory lane.
466
00:18:49,931 --> 00:18:52,965
She's giving back
to her former teacher
and mentor, Yvonne.
467
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:57,620
She just picked me up
and became almost like
another mother.
468
00:18:58,448 --> 00:18:59,931
Oh! That was good.
469
00:18:59,931 --> 00:19:02,000
I couldn't think of anyone
who's more deserving...
470
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,137
This is crazy!
471
00:19:03,137 --> 00:19:04,551
...who would never
do this for herself.
472
00:19:06,586 --> 00:19:09,310
[Jonathan] It's Week 2,
and we are deep
into reinforcing
473
00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:11,655
and rebuilding
some of the bones
of Yvonne's house.
474
00:19:11,655 --> 00:19:15,517
Restructuring the kitchen
and creating as much
usable space as possible
475
00:19:15,517 --> 00:19:18,034
required a 14-foot
structural beam.
476
00:19:18,034 --> 00:19:19,862
We're also reframing
the ceiling,
477
00:19:19,862 --> 00:19:22,241
both in the kitchen
and the study.
478
00:19:22,241 --> 00:19:24,517
So everything will be
level room-to-room.
479
00:19:24,517 --> 00:19:28,758
The good news is, our engineer
confirmed that the roof
was recently repaired,
480
00:19:28,758 --> 00:19:31,931
so the water damage was left
only on the interior,
and it was minor,
481
00:19:31,931 --> 00:19:34,517
which means no additional hits
to our timeline.
482
00:19:35,965 --> 00:19:37,896
Today, the new boiler
for the furnace is
being installed,
483
00:19:37,896 --> 00:19:40,517
along with updating
all the gas lines.
484
00:19:40,517 --> 00:19:43,896
This'll provide Yvonne
and her family with the warmth
and comfort they deserve
485
00:19:43,896 --> 00:19:45,413
for years to come.
486
00:19:45,413 --> 00:19:48,206
And while Drew is
off in search of furnishings
for the study,
487
00:19:48,206 --> 00:19:50,896
Halle has managed
to take some time off
from her film shoot...
488
00:19:50,896 --> 00:19:52,448
This is the yummy, fun part.
489
00:19:52,448 --> 00:19:55,137
[Jonathan] ...to help me
nail down some of the final
design choices.
490
00:19:55,137 --> 00:19:56,724
No one knows Yvonne
better than you.
491
00:19:56,724 --> 00:20:00,310
What are some of the things
that you feel are
important to her?
492
00:20:00,310 --> 00:20:04,137
Well, I know she likes
warm, yummy tones, cozy.
493
00:20:04,137 --> 00:20:06,655
I think this white is good,
because it's not stark.
494
00:20:06,655 --> 00:20:09,827
It's got still a warmth
to the white, which would
be really good.
495
00:20:09,827 --> 00:20:11,724
I definitely think
with the cabinetry,
something like that,
496
00:20:11,724 --> 00:20:13,379
a little warmer would be nice.
497
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,896
Do you wanna do two tones
on the counter?
498
00:20:15,896 --> 00:20:18,482
'Cause we could go
lighter on the peninsula,
darker on the island,
499
00:20:18,482 --> 00:20:19,413
make a statement.
500
00:20:19,413 --> 00:20:20,586
I like them being different.
501
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:23,896
I like this being light
and the countertop being dark.
502
00:20:23,896 --> 00:20:25,241
Is this what we're looking at?
503
00:20:25,241 --> 00:20:26,724
[Jonathan] Yeah, and I think
the nice thing, too,
504
00:20:26,724 --> 00:20:29,517
is just 'cause it's
a small space doesn't mean
it can't be dramatic.
505
00:20:29,517 --> 00:20:31,310
What I love is
this little detail
506
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:32,344
that you have out here.
507
00:20:32,344 --> 00:20:33,413
- The table?
- That's really fun.
508
00:20:33,413 --> 00:20:35,206
- You were, like, adamant.
- [Halle] That's her spot.
509
00:20:35,206 --> 00:20:37,137
-"She has to have a spot."
- [laughs]
510
00:20:37,137 --> 00:20:38,413
- How cool would that look?
- That looks very special.
511
00:20:38,413 --> 00:20:40,551
Everybody's gonna know
that's her spot.
512
00:20:40,551 --> 00:20:43,482
Took me right back
to my childhood
513
00:20:43,482 --> 00:20:45,689
and made me feel
like little Halle again,
514
00:20:45,689 --> 00:20:48,862
the girl that would sit
at her kitchen table
and do cookie talks.
515
00:20:48,862 --> 00:20:52,000
We came across a lot
of bad damage to the flooring,
a lot of gapping.
516
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,827
We can't repair that,
so we will be putting
in new flooring.
517
00:20:54,827 --> 00:20:57,551
So, if you think
she likes something
in the lighter tones...
518
00:20:57,551 --> 00:21:00,793
I would say in here
feels like her tones,
519
00:21:00,793 --> 00:21:02,068
not taupey, not dark.
520
00:21:02,068 --> 00:21:03,068
- Nothing, yeah.
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
521
00:21:03,068 --> 00:21:04,448
Imagine how beautiful
that would be, though,
522
00:21:04,448 --> 00:21:06,000
flowing all the way through.
523
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,206
- It's gonna open this up
and make this seem so big.
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
524
00:21:09,206 --> 00:21:11,758
We wanted
to keep the integrity
of the original house.
525
00:21:11,758 --> 00:21:14,000
It's a very old house,
built in the 1920s.
526
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,137
There's value in keeping
the bones of the history of it
527
00:21:17,137 --> 00:21:20,103
but make it functional
and let it breathe.
528
00:21:20,103 --> 00:21:23,448
[Jonathan] We have warm,
neutral, inviting tones.
529
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:25,724
I think with all of that brass
would go really nice.
530
00:21:25,724 --> 00:21:27,413
- [Halle] Ah, yeah. Yeah.
- [Jonathan] With the hardware.
531
00:21:27,413 --> 00:21:29,206
And then, I think
we've brought the bling.
532
00:21:29,206 --> 00:21:31,620
- It's gonna be so beautiful.
- It's gonna be amazing.
533
00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:33,586
Is there gonna be
a little special place
534
00:21:33,586 --> 00:21:34,620
for her to keep
all those cards
535
00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:35,965
that we found in her drawer,
536
00:21:35,965 --> 00:21:38,137
that messy drawer
with all of her keepsakes?
537
00:21:38,137 --> 00:21:43,448
Yes, when we noticed
the dangerous, falling-apart
bookshelf in the study,
538
00:21:43,448 --> 00:21:46,655
immediately, I was thinking,
"Why don't we rebuild
the bookshelf?"
539
00:21:46,655 --> 00:21:49,862
So she's got the display
and something that's not gonna
fall down for her books,
540
00:21:49,862 --> 00:21:51,655
but then give her
a bunch of drawers.
541
00:21:51,655 --> 00:21:53,551
- [Halle] Yes.
- So, I could even
style the drawers.
542
00:21:53,551 --> 00:21:54,965
I'll have them custom-made
543
00:21:54,965 --> 00:21:57,896
and make them look
almost like a library
Dewey Decimal System.
544
00:21:57,896 --> 00:22:00,758
- Have it all sorted inside...
- Yes, and mine
should be first.
545
00:22:00,758 --> 00:22:02,344
- Absolutely.
- [Halle laughs]
546
00:22:02,344 --> 00:22:04,862
- [Halle] I'm first, right?
- You're Dewey Decimal 000 A1.
547
00:22:04,862 --> 00:22:06,379
[both laugh]
548
00:22:06,379 --> 00:22:08,482
She's gonna cry,
and she never cries.
549
00:22:08,482 --> 00:22:10,034
She's not a crier.
550
00:22:10,034 --> 00:22:11,482
- We'll get her to cry.
- [Halle] I'm a crier.
551
00:22:11,482 --> 00:22:13,137
- [laughs] She's not a crier.
- We know you're a crier.
552
00:22:13,137 --> 00:22:14,448
- I just let it go.
- [Jonathan chuckles]
553
00:22:14,448 --> 00:22:17,965
She, no, no.
I think she'll cry
when she sees this.
554
00:22:17,965 --> 00:22:20,517
I couldn't think of anyone
who's more deserving,
555
00:22:20,517 --> 00:22:22,172
who would never
do this for herself.
556
00:22:22,172 --> 00:22:24,862
I have to double check,
make sure that we can get
everything in our timeline.
557
00:22:24,862 --> 00:22:26,655
- It's pretty tight,
but I feel good...
- I know.
558
00:22:26,655 --> 00:22:28,620
...and I think she is
gonna absolutely flip.
559
00:22:28,620 --> 00:22:30,344
- She's gonna flip. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
560
00:22:30,344 --> 00:22:35,000
So nothing makes me happier
than to come back
to my hometown
561
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,655
and give her
this beautiful gift.
562
00:22:44,689 --> 00:22:46,517
[Drew] It's the start
of Week 3 now at Yvonne's,
563
00:22:46,517 --> 00:22:48,862
and with all
the new structural
and electrical complete,
564
00:22:48,862 --> 00:22:50,482
we can start
closing up the walls.
565
00:22:50,482 --> 00:22:53,827
There are always surprises
when you're working
on an old home,
566
00:22:53,827 --> 00:22:55,137
and with some
of the additional framing
567
00:22:55,137 --> 00:22:56,551
and support work
in the kitchen,
568
00:22:56,551 --> 00:22:59,620
as well as
the boiler replacement,
added a bit of time.
569
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:01,724
But the crew is willing
to put in long days
to make sure
570
00:23:01,724 --> 00:23:04,517
that Yvonne gets back
to cookie talks on schedule.
571
00:23:04,517 --> 00:23:06,241
And we told Halle
that we would have Yvonne
572
00:23:06,241 --> 00:23:08,448
back into her home
within four to five weeks,
573
00:23:08,448 --> 00:23:11,448
and we will deliver,
because I do not want
another beatdown.
574
00:23:11,448 --> 00:23:12,551
Though, I would
like to see that.
575
00:23:12,551 --> 00:23:13,551
That would be
kind of entertaining.
576
00:23:21,620 --> 00:23:24,103
Remember, don't glue me,
just the floor.
577
00:23:26,758 --> 00:23:28,758
Boy, this duct work
turned out really great.
578
00:23:28,758 --> 00:23:30,793
[Drew] Really great.
I still...
579
00:23:30,793 --> 00:23:33,896
I'm like, "Argh!"
that we didn't get to keep
the original floors here,
580
00:23:33,896 --> 00:23:35,551
but they were pretty rough
over in this area.
581
00:23:35,551 --> 00:23:36,724
And it's almost,
it's not worth it
582
00:23:36,724 --> 00:23:38,827
'cause, you know,
yeah, we can sand them down,
583
00:23:38,827 --> 00:23:40,517
we could make them
look this color
584
00:23:40,517 --> 00:23:43,241
but then you'd still see
all the gapping,
you'd see the issues
585
00:23:43,241 --> 00:23:46,034
and knowing that
we've opened up
this area so much
586
00:23:46,034 --> 00:23:48,724
I love now that the boards
are flowing nonstop.
587
00:23:48,724 --> 00:23:49,827
[Drew] Yep,
all the way through.
588
00:23:49,827 --> 00:23:50,862
[Jonathan] Even though
it would have been great
589
00:23:50,862 --> 00:23:52,896
to preserve Yvonne's
original hardwood floors.
590
00:23:52,896 --> 00:23:55,137
In the end
this engineered hardwood
won't only stand up
591
00:23:55,137 --> 00:23:58,620
better to the humid summers
and cold winters
that Cleveland is known for,
592
00:23:58,620 --> 00:24:01,310
but also to
the weekly foot traffic
of Yvonne's grandkids.
593
00:24:01,310 --> 00:24:04,620
Also we have
the wider medium tone board
594
00:24:04,620 --> 00:24:05,965
and that's gonna
make the space feel brighter
595
00:24:05,965 --> 00:24:07,793
and add the comfort
and sophistication
596
00:24:07,793 --> 00:24:09,482
that Halle really wants
for Yvonne.
597
00:24:09,482 --> 00:24:11,758
Modern, yet still cozy.
598
00:24:11,758 --> 00:24:14,827
If they don't walk in and say,
"Spa vibes," then we failed.
599
00:24:31,068 --> 00:24:33,206
[Jonathan]
We're three and a half weeks
into the build schedule
600
00:24:33,206 --> 00:24:36,413
and the transformation
at Yvonne's place
is already massive.
601
00:24:36,413 --> 00:24:38,896
As the moldings and trim work
are all being installed.
602
00:24:38,896 --> 00:24:40,586
We're waiting on a call
from Halle.
603
00:24:40,586 --> 00:24:42,103
Yeah, she's in LA
shooting at the moment,
604
00:24:42,103 --> 00:24:45,068
but we really need her input
on some very important
final finishes.
605
00:24:47,413 --> 00:24:49,068
Do you want to pretalk
about any of the decisions
606
00:24:49,068 --> 00:24:51,206
to sort of influence things
one way or another
607
00:24:51,206 --> 00:24:52,586
or do you want
to just let her pick?
608
00:24:52,586 --> 00:24:55,068
No, I think this is good.
I mean, really I want
Halle to lead it.
609
00:24:55,068 --> 00:24:56,758
So she'll tell us
what she thinks.
610
00:24:56,758 --> 00:24:59,172
Either way,
any of these fabrics
for window coverings,
611
00:24:59,172 --> 00:25:01,482
any of these colors
would be beautiful.
612
00:25:01,482 --> 00:25:04,551
Some maybe a little bit
more Yvonne,
some may not be.
613
00:25:04,551 --> 00:25:06,241
She's the boss
at the end of the day,
614
00:25:06,241 --> 00:25:08,068
and we already know
she can kick your ass.
615
00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:09,862
Stop bringing it up,
don't tell people that.
616
00:25:09,862 --> 00:25:10,931
It was just,
I was letting her...
617
00:25:10,931 --> 00:25:12,241
Hold one sec,
for all the camera crew here,
618
00:25:12,241 --> 00:25:14,482
you guys know that Halle
kicked Drew's butt, right?
619
00:25:14,482 --> 00:25:16,551
- You guys know that?
Everybody saw it?
- Mmm-hmm, yeah.
620
00:25:16,551 --> 00:25:18,586
I was just trying
to, you know, let her
621
00:25:18,586 --> 00:25:20,206
feel good with it,
and you know...
622
00:25:20,206 --> 00:25:21,620
I'm gonna punch you.
623
00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:22,758
I'm not afraid,
624
00:25:22,758 --> 00:25:25,689
because I'll just call Halle
and have her take you...
625
00:25:25,689 --> 00:25:27,379
She's my muscle now so...
626
00:25:27,379 --> 00:25:28,758
[cell phone ringing]
627
00:25:28,758 --> 00:25:30,275
[Drew] Oh, there she is.
628
00:25:31,344 --> 00:25:32,689
- Hello.
- Hello.
629
00:25:32,689 --> 00:25:34,103
Hi, hi, guys.
630
00:25:34,103 --> 00:25:36,413
[Drew] It looks like you're in
the middle of
a tropical forest.
631
00:25:36,413 --> 00:25:38,448
It's just my backyard.
632
00:25:38,448 --> 00:25:39,931
I appreciate you
taking a second.
633
00:25:39,931 --> 00:25:42,793
We just needed your thought
on a couple finishes
634
00:25:42,793 --> 00:25:45,206
'cause you know Yvonne
better than we do.
635
00:25:45,206 --> 00:25:47,620
All right,
are you ready to make
some decisions?
636
00:25:47,620 --> 00:25:48,862
Yes.
637
00:25:48,862 --> 00:25:51,793
In the dining room
with the walls
being opened up now
638
00:25:51,793 --> 00:25:53,620
there's a lot
more light in there.
639
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:56,379
Do you think
that we should keep it
kind of light,
640
00:25:56,379 --> 00:25:58,482
or kind of traditional,
641
00:25:58,482 --> 00:26:00,896
or do you think
Yvonne would be willing
to go bold?
642
00:26:00,896 --> 00:26:03,206
'Cause you can see
how all of these plays
off of the hardwood.
643
00:26:03,206 --> 00:26:06,482
I'm gonna force her
to be bold
because she is bold.
644
00:26:06,482 --> 00:26:07,620
So I would say
645
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:11,000
maybe that darker color
in the far bottom.
646
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,482
- [Jonathan] See how beautiful
that ties together.
- [Drew] Yeah, I love it all.
647
00:26:13,482 --> 00:26:15,310
Just so you know,
that was Jonathan's choice.
648
00:26:15,310 --> 00:26:16,724
We're on the same page.
649
00:26:16,724 --> 00:26:19,310
What would you wanna do
for draperies
in the sitting room?
650
00:26:19,310 --> 00:26:20,827
I think we should go
super light.
651
00:26:20,827 --> 00:26:22,655
[Jonathan] I love that,
that'll look really nice.
652
00:26:22,655 --> 00:26:24,517
And then for the kitchen,
653
00:26:24,517 --> 00:26:26,448
this might look
a little bit more elegant.
654
00:26:26,448 --> 00:26:28,034
We had a lot
to go through, lighting...
655
00:26:28,034 --> 00:26:30,586
Can the dark one be
in the dining room?
Would that work?
656
00:26:30,586 --> 00:26:31,517
[Jonathan] Yeah, absolutely.
657
00:26:31,517 --> 00:26:33,034
...hardware.
658
00:26:33,034 --> 00:26:34,172
[Halle on phone] This is
gonna be the handles
where she's gonna have
659
00:26:34,172 --> 00:26:35,620
her letters
from her students, right?
660
00:26:35,620 --> 00:26:36,551
- [Jonathan] Exactly.
- [Drew] Yeah.
661
00:26:36,551 --> 00:26:38,068
Love that one
with that little handle
662
00:26:38,068 --> 00:26:40,310
that looks like
what you would find
in a library.
663
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:41,689
That one, yes.
664
00:26:41,689 --> 00:26:43,206
[Jonathan] It also feels like
it could be as old
as the house.
665
00:26:43,206 --> 00:26:44,551
Halle knows Yvonne so well
666
00:26:44,551 --> 00:26:46,310
that naturally
she's gonna be a help
667
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:47,724
when it comes
to picking the right choices
668
00:26:47,724 --> 00:26:49,689
and from a design perspective
we obviously know.
669
00:26:49,689 --> 00:26:52,620
So together, boom, boom, boom,
we're like
the fantastic three.
670
00:26:52,620 --> 00:26:53,724
Well done, guys.
671
00:26:53,724 --> 00:26:55,931
- Thank you.
- All right, we'll let you go.
672
00:26:55,931 --> 00:26:58,275
We will see you
in a couple of weeks.
673
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,206
See you soon, I can't wait.
674
00:27:00,206 --> 00:27:01,344
- [Jonathan] Bye.
- [Drew] Bye.
675
00:27:09,448 --> 00:27:11,137
[Jonathan]
The kitchen cabinets
have arrived
676
00:27:11,137 --> 00:27:14,655
as has the bookshelf unit
that we had custom-built
for Yvonne's study.
677
00:27:14,655 --> 00:27:16,206
No more droopy shelves.
678
00:27:16,206 --> 00:27:18,724
So as our crew
is tackling the study built-in
679
00:27:18,724 --> 00:27:20,724
Drew and I
are dragging in
the kitchen cabinets.
680
00:27:20,724 --> 00:27:22,896
How far...
Are we going
right to the edge?
681
00:27:22,896 --> 00:27:24,275
No, 'cause we'll have
an overhang.
682
00:27:24,275 --> 00:27:25,896
A little bit of
a breakfast bar seating, so...
683
00:27:25,896 --> 00:27:28,620
Do you want me to measure out
like 10 inch?
What's my distance?
684
00:27:28,620 --> 00:27:31,068
I think we're gonna go 12,
and then we have a cabinet
685
00:27:31,068 --> 00:27:33,275
that's gonna be centered
right here as well
coming down.
686
00:27:33,275 --> 00:27:35,862
It's not like one solution
fits every single kitchen.
687
00:27:35,862 --> 00:27:37,862
And this is
a pretty challenging kitchen
688
00:27:37,862 --> 00:27:39,068
'cause it's
a smaller footprint,
689
00:27:39,068 --> 00:27:41,206
but we want it to work
perfectly for Yvonne.
690
00:27:41,206 --> 00:27:42,758
I love this kitchen.
691
00:27:42,758 --> 00:27:44,034
I mean, thinking of
how much time
692
00:27:44,034 --> 00:27:46,068
Yvonne still spends
in here tutoring.
693
00:27:46,068 --> 00:27:49,931
She'll actually have a nice
bright open space to do this.
694
00:27:49,931 --> 00:27:52,517
- That rounded edge
for the peninsula.
- It's her new spot.
695
00:27:52,517 --> 00:27:55,103
- Yeah, this is the new
cookie chat location.
- Let me tutor you.
696
00:27:55,103 --> 00:27:57,206
Uh, 12 times 4.
697
00:27:57,206 --> 00:27:59,344
There's literally nothing
you could tutor me on,
698
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:01,103
that I haven't
already mastered.
699
00:28:01,103 --> 00:28:02,310
You didn't answer
the question.
700
00:28:02,310 --> 00:28:04,206
I know, 'cause I'm trying
to calculate it in my head.
701
00:28:04,206 --> 00:28:07,137
Halle's wanted to renovate
the house for Yvonne
for so many years
702
00:28:07,137 --> 00:28:08,172
but Yvonne
wouldn't let her do it.
703
00:28:08,172 --> 00:28:09,241
I think it was too much pride.
704
00:28:09,241 --> 00:28:10,758
[Jonathan] Was it pride
705
00:28:10,758 --> 00:28:14,310
or was it that
she didn't want to wreck
the cookie time talk.
706
00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:16,482
Maybe if we just do
10 inches for our overhang
707
00:28:16,482 --> 00:28:18,482
so that we have
40 inches in here?
708
00:28:18,482 --> 00:28:20,655
We have an overhang
on the end as well, right?
709
00:28:20,655 --> 00:28:23,586
I mean, maybe we can give
a little bit more
of an overhang on that end
710
00:28:23,586 --> 00:28:25,172
and then do a 10 inch
on the backside.
711
00:28:26,655 --> 00:28:28,931
- [Jonathan] Okay,
10 for the edge.
- [Drew] Yeah, there you go.
712
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,793
- All right.
- Already feels better.
713
00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:34,482
[Jonathan] I think
it's absolutely incredible
that Halle wants to give back
714
00:28:34,482 --> 00:28:37,586
to her fifth grade teacher,
Yvonne, who is instrumental
715
00:28:37,586 --> 00:28:39,172
in showing her the right path
716
00:28:39,172 --> 00:28:41,000
and encouraging her
in the right direction
in life.
717
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,241
Yvonne has always
been there for Halle.
718
00:28:43,241 --> 00:28:45,655
I mean, even now,
they still get together
every year
719
00:28:45,655 --> 00:28:47,827
and I think it's really sweet
to see that kind of
a relationship.
720
00:28:47,827 --> 00:28:49,965
How better to say I love you,
721
00:28:49,965 --> 00:28:51,103
than to do a renovation
on their house.
722
00:28:51,103 --> 00:28:52,655
Think of how many cookies
723
00:28:52,655 --> 00:28:55,103
she could put out
for cookie talks now.
724
00:28:55,103 --> 00:28:56,689
Those are some
long cookie talks.
725
00:28:57,793 --> 00:28:59,586
You were due for a makeover.
726
00:28:59,586 --> 00:29:00,620
[laughs hysterically]
727
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:01,724
Are you ready?
728
00:29:01,724 --> 00:29:02,965
I am very ready.
729
00:29:02,965 --> 00:29:05,517
There's not a fake bone
in this woman's body.
730
00:29:05,517 --> 00:29:07,965
She's gonna show you
how she feels
whether you like it or not.
731
00:29:07,965 --> 00:29:08,862
Open.
732
00:29:10,689 --> 00:29:13,931
Wow, this is amazing.
733
00:29:26,206 --> 00:29:28,758
[Jonathan] We're in
the final week
of transforming Yvonne's home
734
00:29:28,758 --> 00:29:30,931
into the stunning oasis
that she deserves.
735
00:29:30,931 --> 00:29:33,068
The bulk of
the kitchen cabinets
are in place
736
00:29:33,068 --> 00:29:35,517
as are the contrasting
quartz countertops
737
00:29:35,517 --> 00:29:37,448
with just the backsplash
to be added.
738
00:29:37,448 --> 00:29:39,931
But Halle stressed
the importance
of Yvonne's kitchen
739
00:29:39,931 --> 00:29:42,068
not only to be
a hub for the family
740
00:29:42,068 --> 00:29:44,172
but where she meets
and councils her students.
741
00:29:44,172 --> 00:29:46,758
So the pressure is on
for us to get it right.
742
00:29:46,758 --> 00:29:48,310
I like the dark tone
on this wall.
743
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:49,344
It's gonna be
a nice pop in here,
744
00:29:49,344 --> 00:29:51,413
but it won't feel dark
like it was before.
745
00:29:51,413 --> 00:29:52,862
We have such better lighting.
746
00:29:52,862 --> 00:29:55,137
The dining area is getting
that gold color upgrade
Halle chose
747
00:29:55,137 --> 00:29:57,586
and it will wrap the room
in warmth and modern elegance.
748
00:29:57,586 --> 00:29:58,965
[Jonathan] She would not have
been able to do this before
749
00:29:58,965 --> 00:30:01,137
because it was so closed off
in the kitchen
750
00:30:01,137 --> 00:30:04,241
and just all around
it just felt a bit tired.
751
00:30:04,241 --> 00:30:05,620
[Drew] Halle had
actually tried to renovate
752
00:30:05,620 --> 00:30:07,482
Yvonne's place
multiple times in the past
753
00:30:07,482 --> 00:30:08,965
but she wouldn't let her
so Halle thought
754
00:30:08,965 --> 00:30:10,758
bring us to the table
maybe that would help.
755
00:30:10,758 --> 00:30:12,448
You don't have
to be like that. Careful.
756
00:30:12,448 --> 00:30:13,758
It's all being painted
the same color.
757
00:30:14,517 --> 00:30:15,586
Oh, wait. What the trim?
758
00:30:15,586 --> 00:30:17,000
Yeah, the dining room
we're doing this...
759
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,310
Oh, why was I thinking that,
that was gonna be
a contrasting white?
760
00:30:19,310 --> 00:30:20,586
[Jonathan] We're still
doing white everywhere else.
761
00:30:20,586 --> 00:30:23,379
But no here, I meant like
get right in there
so you can...
762
00:30:23,379 --> 00:30:24,586
Yeah, exactly.
763
00:30:24,586 --> 00:30:25,620
[Drew] That's a little easier.
764
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:27,517
I'm glad how you let me like
765
00:30:27,517 --> 00:30:30,172
carefully do multiple sides
of this before you told me.
766
00:30:30,172 --> 00:30:32,655
[Jonathan] Overall,
we preserved a lot
of the historical charm
767
00:30:32,655 --> 00:30:33,689
of Yvonne's home
768
00:30:33,689 --> 00:30:35,482
but given it
a contemporary facelift
769
00:30:35,482 --> 00:30:37,103
in both style and function.
770
00:30:37,103 --> 00:30:39,413
A combination
we both hope
Yvonne will love.
771
00:30:47,724 --> 00:30:50,034
We are three days away
from Yvonne returning
772
00:30:50,034 --> 00:30:52,827
to claim her rightful
cookie talk spot
in her new kitchen,
773
00:30:52,827 --> 00:30:54,482
and we're putting
all the final pieces in place.
774
00:30:54,482 --> 00:30:56,344
[Jonathan] We're upgrading
the dining room windows
775
00:30:56,344 --> 00:30:59,413
to ensure Yvonne's comfort
no matter what the season.
776
00:30:59,413 --> 00:31:02,827
Halle also wanted
fresh and modern
for her friend and mentor
777
00:31:02,827 --> 00:31:06,241
but also want us to retain
all that was personal
and important to her.
778
00:31:06,241 --> 00:31:09,000
You noticed the little detail
I put on
the doors in the front
779
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,379
to make it look like libraries
with the little
Dewey Decimal drawers?
780
00:31:12,379 --> 00:31:14,689
- Aw, so cute.
- It was the inspiration here.
781
00:31:14,689 --> 00:31:17,000
Halle showed us this drawer
782
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,344
where Yvonne still keeps
all of the cards
from her students
783
00:31:20,344 --> 00:31:22,344
thank you cards, sweet notes.
784
00:31:22,344 --> 00:31:23,655
So important in her life.
785
00:31:23,655 --> 00:31:27,137
They're a gesture of love
and that's why
she holds onto them.
786
00:31:27,137 --> 00:31:30,000
So I love the fact
that we've curated
somewhere special
787
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,206
to keep them organized.
788
00:31:32,551 --> 00:31:34,310
She'll probably actually take
every other one out
789
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:36,206
so that it's a little bit
wider for the cards.
790
00:31:36,206 --> 00:31:39,413
But the nice thing is
you can customize it
however you want.
791
00:31:39,413 --> 00:31:42,896
Now, everything has its place
and it's beautiful.
792
00:31:42,896 --> 00:31:46,310
Makes so much more sense
to have
organized possibilities.
793
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:48,827
Especially if you're
putting things
like cards in there.
794
00:31:48,827 --> 00:31:51,482
- Do you want to put
some of the shelves in?
- Yeah.
795
00:31:51,482 --> 00:31:54,206
[Drew] I think,
Yvonne as a teacher
and a mentor
796
00:31:54,206 --> 00:31:55,793
for so many over the years
797
00:31:55,793 --> 00:31:57,275
she's used to being that rock.
798
00:31:57,275 --> 00:31:59,896
She doesn't show
a lot of emotion,
she's always there for people.
799
00:31:59,896 --> 00:32:01,724
But I have a feeling
this renovation,
800
00:32:01,724 --> 00:32:03,620
the way that Halle is saying,
I love you,
801
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:04,655
that's gonna bring
a tear to her eye.
802
00:32:06,172 --> 00:32:08,241
Custom-made just for Yvonne.
803
00:32:08,241 --> 00:32:11,793
It's amazing too,
to think of the fact
that there are so many kids
804
00:32:11,793 --> 00:32:13,793
that have this relationship
with Yvonne.
805
00:32:13,793 --> 00:32:16,827
Yvonne has just give,
and give, and given
her whole life.
806
00:32:16,827 --> 00:32:20,758
This is gonna be
really excited to showcase
this whole new home for her.
807
00:32:29,344 --> 00:32:31,068
Right there, right there,
right there, right there.
808
00:32:31,068 --> 00:32:33,551
- This is like abusing
our abilities.
- Thank you.
809
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:36,551
I just wanted to be carried
by two strappin' hunks.
Thank you.
810
00:32:36,551 --> 00:32:38,931
Tomorrow Yvonne returns
so Halle is back
811
00:32:38,931 --> 00:32:40,724
to help us
with the final touches.
812
00:32:42,344 --> 00:32:43,586
Look how big it looks.
813
00:32:43,586 --> 00:32:45,965
You know, what it is missing?
A glamour shot of you.
814
00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:47,758
- Oh.
- But you know
what else is missing?
815
00:32:47,758 --> 00:32:49,517
- What?
- A glamour shot of us.
816
00:32:49,517 --> 00:32:51,793
Oh, look at that.
817
00:32:51,793 --> 00:32:53,241
I give you 8 out of 10.
818
00:32:54,241 --> 00:32:55,724
It's always nice to give back.
819
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:58,965
You know, especially
to someone like Yvonne
who has
820
00:32:58,965 --> 00:33:02,137
really shaped my life
as a woman, as a human,
as a person.
821
00:33:02,137 --> 00:33:05,551
She was so instrumental
in making me and shaping me.
822
00:33:05,551 --> 00:33:09,344
Can you imagine
somebody keeps every letter
every person gives 'em?
823
00:33:09,344 --> 00:33:11,482
- This is her.
- [Jonathan] None of them
say Yvonne.
824
00:33:11,482 --> 00:33:12,931
- They all say, Mrs. Sims.
- Mrs. Sims.
825
00:33:12,931 --> 00:33:14,827
- Wait, wait, wait,
there's one Yvonne.
- [Jonathan] Who's this jerk?
826
00:33:14,827 --> 00:33:16,000
Let's see who it is.
827
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,310
[Drew] Wait, are you allowed
to open someone else's...
828
00:33:17,310 --> 00:33:18,896
Isn't that like
reading someone's diary?
829
00:33:18,896 --> 00:33:20,620
[Jonathan] That's like
reading a diary actually.
No, I don't want to do that.
830
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:22,379
[Drew] You know,
as the snow melted
831
00:33:22,379 --> 00:33:24,724
so did
the unfunctional factors
within this house.
832
00:33:24,724 --> 00:33:27,482
It's now beautiful,
it's bright, it's open.
833
00:33:27,482 --> 00:33:29,068
This is what the family needs.
834
00:33:29,068 --> 00:33:32,000
What do you think Yvonne's
first reaction's gonna be
when she comes in here?
835
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,482
She's very stoic.
836
00:33:33,482 --> 00:33:35,965
You know, I've only
seen her cry, like,
probably two times
837
00:33:35,965 --> 00:33:37,103
and I've known her for years.
838
00:33:37,103 --> 00:33:39,689
- Oh, wow.
- Everyone comes
and cries to her
839
00:33:39,689 --> 00:33:41,275
- and she was
the strong one, right.
- She was the strong one.
840
00:33:41,275 --> 00:33:43,275
But I think we might
get her eventually.
841
00:33:43,275 --> 00:33:45,551
Cookie chats now have
a fancy space
842
00:33:45,551 --> 00:33:48,000
so I feel like
they have to also have
fancy cookies.
843
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,379
- Big ones.
- Mmm-hmm.
844
00:33:59,482 --> 00:34:01,862
- You've been in this house
40 years, right?
- Yeah.
845
00:34:01,862 --> 00:34:04,413
So much of it
was like I always remember
846
00:34:04,413 --> 00:34:06,482
and it brought back
all these childhood memories
847
00:34:06,482 --> 00:34:07,724
and feelings, right?
848
00:34:07,724 --> 00:34:09,586
But it also made me realize
849
00:34:09,586 --> 00:34:12,103
you were due for a makeover.
850
00:34:12,103 --> 00:34:13,586
[laughs hysterically]
851
00:34:14,551 --> 00:34:16,344
You were due for a makeover.
852
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,965
Well, you do realize
I'm staying here
all night, tonight.
853
00:34:19,965 --> 00:34:22,068
We're doing cookie talks
until the sun comes up.
854
00:34:22,068 --> 00:34:23,931
I think that's wonderful.
855
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:25,965
- [chuckles softly]
- I think that's wonderful.
856
00:34:25,965 --> 00:34:29,275
Five weeks, five weeks,
Yvonne and the family
were out of the house,
857
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:30,551
but a lot has changed.
858
00:34:30,551 --> 00:34:32,862
- Are you ready?
- I am very ready.
859
00:34:32,862 --> 00:34:35,758
It is completely transformed
860
00:34:35,758 --> 00:34:37,413
and this is really
what the space needed.
861
00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:38,379
[Yvonne] Yes.
862
00:34:41,620 --> 00:34:44,241
I can already see
Yvonne smiling
through the window.
863
00:34:44,241 --> 00:34:45,896
[Jonathan] Yvonne,
I hope you realize
864
00:34:45,896 --> 00:34:48,827
highest-paid chauffeur
you probably ever had.
865
00:34:48,827 --> 00:34:51,517
I know, I know,
and it's very good.
866
00:34:51,517 --> 00:34:53,896
- [Jonathan] She's amazing.
- She's an excellent driver.
867
00:34:53,896 --> 00:34:55,482
Yvonne, how do you feel?
868
00:34:55,482 --> 00:34:58,068
Anxious, excited.
869
00:34:58,068 --> 00:34:59,827
- [Jonathan] Just want to get
back in your house?
- Yeah.
870
00:34:59,827 --> 00:35:01,482
The direction all came
from Halle.
871
00:35:01,482 --> 00:35:03,241
She knew what kind of
fixtures to put in
872
00:35:03,241 --> 00:35:05,068
- the color palette,
she knew all of this stuff.
- Oh, wow.
873
00:35:05,068 --> 00:35:06,620
So, I'm impressed.
874
00:35:06,620 --> 00:35:08,344
Having a part, that way...
875
00:35:08,344 --> 00:35:10,896
I'm saying this now
because if you don't like it
876
00:35:10,896 --> 00:35:12,448
- it's all Halle.
- [Halle] Thanks, guys.
877
00:35:12,448 --> 00:35:14,241
- Thanks, thanks.
- You get all the credit.
878
00:35:14,241 --> 00:35:16,586
There's not a fake bone
in this woman's body.
879
00:35:16,586 --> 00:35:18,310
She's gonna show you
how she feels
880
00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:19,482
whether you like it or not.
881
00:35:19,482 --> 00:35:21,137
- Shall we hop inside?
- [Yvonne] Yes, yes.
882
00:35:21,137 --> 00:35:22,103
Let's go.
883
00:35:22,103 --> 00:35:23,793
I always want
to make her proud.
884
00:35:23,793 --> 00:35:25,206
Very proud.
885
00:35:25,206 --> 00:35:27,241
I want to do the right thing
'cause she's poured
a lot into me.
886
00:35:27,827 --> 00:35:30,137
Eyes closed, eyes closed.
887
00:35:30,137 --> 00:35:32,586
- A lot into me.
888
00:35:32,586 --> 00:35:33,931
- Much worth it.
- So, yeah.
889
00:35:33,931 --> 00:35:37,068
- Three, two, open 'em up.
- [Halle] Two, open.
890
00:35:39,448 --> 00:35:40,793
Wow.
891
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:43,896
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my goodness.
892
00:35:43,896 --> 00:35:46,586
This is just phenomenal.
893
00:35:52,068 --> 00:35:53,551
[Halle] Here we go.
894
00:35:53,551 --> 00:35:57,517
Eyes closed,
I'm gonna place you.
895
00:35:57,517 --> 00:36:00,620
- Three, two, open 'em up.
- Two, open.
896
00:36:02,931 --> 00:36:03,931
Wow.
897
00:36:05,448 --> 00:36:07,172
Oh, my goodness.
898
00:36:08,827 --> 00:36:11,068
This is amazing.
899
00:36:11,068 --> 00:36:13,965
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my goodness.
900
00:36:21,689 --> 00:36:23,758
Oh, my goodness.
901
00:36:23,758 --> 00:36:25,793
Come on in.
902
00:36:25,793 --> 00:36:27,758
So that's your now,
this is where
you're gonna sit.
903
00:36:27,758 --> 00:36:29,068
Oh, this is gonna be my spot.
904
00:36:29,068 --> 00:36:30,620
[Halle] This is gonna be
your spot.
905
00:36:31,310 --> 00:36:32,482
[all chuckling]
906
00:36:32,482 --> 00:36:34,689
- [Halle] Your stove.
- [Yvonne] Oh, my gosh.
907
00:36:36,689 --> 00:36:39,448
This is just phenomenal.
908
00:36:39,448 --> 00:36:42,000
Do you think this will be
a good backdrop
to cookie chats?
909
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,931
Oh, yeah.
910
00:36:45,310 --> 00:36:47,620
[Halle] I had to put this here
just 'cause.
911
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:49,310
[all laughing]
912
00:36:49,310 --> 00:36:52,482
This little trinket here
of course.
913
00:36:52,482 --> 00:36:54,000
[Jonathan] Oh, how did
that get there?
914
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,551
[Yvonne] Yeah, how about that?
915
00:36:55,551 --> 00:36:57,448
- Look.
- Oscar's in here.
916
00:36:57,448 --> 00:36:59,620
Well, her first request was
917
00:36:59,620 --> 00:37:01,862
can we do that
with a wallpaper everywhere...
918
00:37:01,862 --> 00:37:03,551
- [laughs hysterically]
- ...but we changed that out.
919
00:37:04,344 --> 00:37:06,724
This is just way over
920
00:37:06,724 --> 00:37:09,896
my expectations
of a thank you.
921
00:37:09,896 --> 00:37:12,137
- This is...
- [Halle] Is it
what you expected?
922
00:37:12,137 --> 00:37:13,241
- No.
- [Halle] No?
923
00:37:14,068 --> 00:37:15,344
Uh-oh.
924
00:37:15,344 --> 00:37:16,620
In a good way or a bad way?
925
00:37:16,620 --> 00:37:18,413
In a good way, this is...
926
00:37:18,413 --> 00:37:21,241
This is fantastic.
This is beautiful.
927
00:37:21,241 --> 00:37:22,896
- [Halle] Doesn't it
feel bigger?
- [Yvonne] Yes.
928
00:37:22,896 --> 00:37:24,517
The whole thing
now that it's open
929
00:37:24,517 --> 00:37:27,310
it feels like
it's light and airy.
930
00:37:28,172 --> 00:37:29,241
[Yvonne] This is beautiful.
931
00:37:31,206 --> 00:37:32,517
[chuckling]
932
00:37:34,206 --> 00:37:35,689
I think you'll need a minute.
933
00:37:35,689 --> 00:37:37,413
I know, I'm the crier.
934
00:37:37,413 --> 00:37:39,793
I can't help it, but I just...
935
00:37:39,793 --> 00:37:42,000
- Oh.
- You mean so much to me.
936
00:37:46,034 --> 00:37:48,620
- You deserve it
more than anybody else...
- Thank you.
937
00:37:48,620 --> 00:37:49,827
...in the world.
938
00:37:49,827 --> 00:37:51,724
- You deserve it,
you're selfless, you...
- Thank you.
939
00:37:51,724 --> 00:37:55,000
I realized you do
nothing for yourself
when I came in here
940
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,827
after 40 years.
941
00:37:56,827 --> 00:37:59,206
- So...
- But had my spot that's all.
942
00:37:59,206 --> 00:38:01,448
But this is, this is great.
943
00:38:02,068 --> 00:38:03,482
I'm just taking it all in.
944
00:38:03,482 --> 00:38:04,965
Now this is gonna
take me a minute.
945
00:38:04,965 --> 00:38:06,931
You know,
how you break in
a comfortable chair
946
00:38:06,931 --> 00:38:09,413
or break in
a pair of new shoes.
947
00:38:09,413 --> 00:38:11,241
Beautiful, beautiful.
948
00:38:11,241 --> 00:38:14,275
It's gonna feel good
to sit in that chair
949
00:38:14,275 --> 00:38:16,896
and reclaim that space.
950
00:38:16,896 --> 00:38:19,758
This is magnificent.
951
00:38:19,758 --> 00:38:22,793
I mean, we could stay here
and have a cookie
952
00:38:22,793 --> 00:38:25,275
or we can continue into
your beautiful dining space.
953
00:38:25,275 --> 00:38:26,413
Let's continue.
954
00:38:26,413 --> 00:38:27,931
- [Yvonne] Okay, all right.
- Let's continue.
955
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:30,068
This is feeling
pretty comfortable.
956
00:38:30,068 --> 00:38:31,862
[all laughing]
957
00:38:31,862 --> 00:38:33,965
[Yvonne] Oh, look at this.
958
00:38:34,724 --> 00:38:36,620
I love the colors.
959
00:38:36,620 --> 00:38:39,379
This is beautiful.
960
00:38:45,793 --> 00:38:47,551
Oh, man.
961
00:38:47,551 --> 00:38:48,655
[Yvonne chuckles]
962
00:38:52,137 --> 00:38:53,172
The progression.
963
00:38:53,172 --> 00:38:56,758
I could not believe
the space that was created.
964
00:38:56,758 --> 00:38:59,103
That was a whole new
living arrangement
965
00:38:59,103 --> 00:39:01,793
and the colors are beautiful.
966
00:39:01,793 --> 00:39:05,206
What do you think
of the new landscape
of your living space
967
00:39:05,206 --> 00:39:06,379
when you stand from here?
968
00:39:06,379 --> 00:39:08,137
[Yvonne] I love it.
969
00:39:08,137 --> 00:39:10,862
There isn't anything
I don't like.
970
00:39:10,862 --> 00:39:13,103
It's just wonderful.
971
00:39:13,103 --> 00:39:14,655
It's beautiful.
972
00:39:14,655 --> 00:39:17,448
- I think you're in shock
a little bit.
- I am in shock.
973
00:39:17,448 --> 00:39:18,448
[laughs heartily]
974
00:39:19,034 --> 00:39:21,517
She nailed it head on.
975
00:39:21,517 --> 00:39:24,862
- Phew, okay.
- Nailed it. Bam, perfect.
976
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:27,000
You know what I also found
when I got here?
977
00:39:27,793 --> 00:39:30,000
Drawer full of letters
978
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,689
from other students
and all the people
that love you so much.
979
00:39:33,689 --> 00:39:36,448
So, the brothers and I
came up with a plan for...
980
00:39:36,448 --> 00:39:37,827
- To relocate it.
- Yes.
981
00:39:37,827 --> 00:39:39,000
This way.
982
00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:42,620
[Yvonne] Oh, this is,
the books.
983
00:39:43,241 --> 00:39:45,310
Oh. [chuckles]
984
00:39:45,862 --> 00:39:46,862
Oh.
985
00:39:46,862 --> 00:39:50,827
The den was
even more comfortable.
986
00:39:50,827 --> 00:39:53,827
And she said,
"You act so surprised,
987
00:39:53,827 --> 00:39:57,137
but this is your stuff.
This is your stuff."
988
00:39:57,137 --> 00:40:00,172
- The family tree,
all my elephants
- [Halle] Family tree.
989
00:40:00,172 --> 00:40:01,758
The two cherubs up there.
990
00:40:01,758 --> 00:40:03,034
[all laughing]
991
00:40:03,034 --> 00:40:05,827
- What do you think?
Do I...
- Did I get it?
992
00:40:05,827 --> 00:40:09,275
- Do I have
that Hollywood glow?
- Did you capture? I think so.
993
00:40:09,275 --> 00:40:11,896
- [Halle] And your mom.
- [Yvonne] My mom.
994
00:40:11,896 --> 00:40:14,482
[Halle] But I told you
all those letters that I found
from the students?
995
00:40:14,482 --> 00:40:15,758
[Yvonne] Yeah.
996
00:40:15,758 --> 00:40:18,206
You know like
how in the library
you have these little...
997
00:40:18,206 --> 00:40:19,379
So you pull these out.
998
00:40:19,379 --> 00:40:22,172
- Oh, my goodness.
- So that you always
be able to
999
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:24,034
keep these in
a more organized way.
1000
00:40:24,034 --> 00:40:26,448
Someone asked,
"Do you keep all this stuff?"
1001
00:40:26,448 --> 00:40:28,413
I said,
"Yeah, I keep all this."
1002
00:40:28,413 --> 00:40:30,931
Every single one.
1003
00:40:30,931 --> 00:40:32,034
They're a part of me.
1004
00:40:32,724 --> 00:40:33,689
It's my history.
1005
00:40:33,689 --> 00:40:37,551
They reflect
everything that I put out.
1006
00:40:37,551 --> 00:40:39,310
- They've given it back...
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
1007
00:40:39,310 --> 00:40:42,310
...in those letters
by expressing
their love and appreciation.
1008
00:40:42,310 --> 00:40:44,310
That was like
icing on the cake.
1009
00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:46,517
She knew how important
those things were.
1010
00:40:46,517 --> 00:40:49,448
Well, you'll be happy to know
that you have no more
water stains.
1011
00:40:49,448 --> 00:40:51,793
- The ceiling
they were happy to fix.
- Oh, wow.
1012
00:40:51,793 --> 00:40:53,827
[Jonathan] And it's also
gonna be warm
in the wintertime too
1013
00:40:53,827 --> 00:40:55,310
'cause we fixed the radiator.
1014
00:40:55,310 --> 00:40:57,000
You have a whole new boiler.
1015
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,896
- You've got
everything functioning.
- Yes.
1016
00:40:59,379 --> 00:41:00,655
This is wonderful.
1017
00:41:00,655 --> 00:41:04,379
I am still just taking
all this magnificence in.
1018
00:41:04,379 --> 00:41:07,413
I feel we should celebrate
with some cookies.
1019
00:41:07,413 --> 00:41:09,172
- Shall we?
- Yes. Yes.
1020
00:41:09,172 --> 00:41:11,034
Well, it's one thing
to show Yvonne the new space,
1021
00:41:11,034 --> 00:41:13,517
but you got to bring
the family in
so they can see it as well.
1022
00:41:13,517 --> 00:41:15,586
- [Yvonne] Hey.
- [Halle] Hey.
1023
00:41:15,586 --> 00:41:16,620
Hi, Galel.
1024
00:41:19,241 --> 00:41:20,172
This is my house?
1025
00:41:20,965 --> 00:41:22,620
Oh, my God.
1026
00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:25,034
- [Yvonne] It looks good.
- It's a totally
different house.
1027
00:41:25,034 --> 00:41:27,517
I was just gonna
do this to the house.
1028
00:41:27,517 --> 00:41:29,448
- How long have you been
in the house now?
- Thirty four years.
1029
00:41:29,448 --> 00:41:30,586
Yeah, we work a little faster.
1030
00:41:30,586 --> 00:41:32,724
[all laughing]
1031
00:41:32,724 --> 00:41:34,517
We thought it would be
important for cookie chats
1032
00:41:34,517 --> 00:41:36,172
to have a couple
of extras joining.
1033
00:41:36,172 --> 00:41:38,206
- Come on in.
- Who?
1034
00:41:38,206 --> 00:41:39,551
Oh. [laughing]
1035
00:41:40,758 --> 00:41:43,000
- Hey.
- [Yvonne] Oh, my goodness.
1036
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,241
Oh, Lord. Get out.
1037
00:41:46,241 --> 00:41:49,413
Seeing the other students
come in tipped the scale
1038
00:41:49,413 --> 00:41:51,896
because what I saw
1039
00:41:51,896 --> 00:41:53,689
is all my efforts
1040
00:41:53,689 --> 00:41:56,413
being reflected in these women
1041
00:41:56,413 --> 00:41:59,275
and what they've accomplished
as adults.
1042
00:41:59,275 --> 00:42:00,862
Mrs. Sims,
1043
00:42:00,862 --> 00:42:04,586
I was 13-years-old,
a ninth grader
and I saw you in the halls
1044
00:42:04,586 --> 00:42:07,827
and I thought it was awesome
to see a teacher
that looked like me.
1045
00:42:07,827 --> 00:42:10,586
You inspired us to be great,
1046
00:42:10,586 --> 00:42:12,275
but we all know,
I'm your favorite.
1047
00:42:12,275 --> 00:42:13,275
[all laughing]
1048
00:42:15,758 --> 00:42:18,482
I simply adore you,
Yvonne Sims.
1049
00:42:18,482 --> 00:42:19,724
Ooh.
1050
00:42:19,724 --> 00:42:22,103
You encouraged my crazy dreams
1051
00:42:22,103 --> 00:42:24,344
and through all
of life's challenges
and successes
1052
00:42:24,344 --> 00:42:26,241
you have never left my side.
1053
00:42:26,241 --> 00:42:27,482
[Yvonne] I am so proud.
1054
00:42:29,827 --> 00:42:30,827
My daughters...
1055
00:42:33,206 --> 00:42:36,413
You just don't know,
you don't have any idea...
1056
00:42:39,206 --> 00:42:41,655
God is amazing
1057
00:42:41,655 --> 00:42:43,310
and He has allowed me
to be a part of this.
1058
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,448
I think if there's anything
1059
00:42:45,448 --> 00:42:49,482
that I have
reflected to you is
1060
00:42:49,482 --> 00:42:52,896
- how important it is
to be your genuine self.
- Mmm.
1061
00:42:52,896 --> 00:42:54,448
There's only one you.
1062
00:42:54,448 --> 00:42:56,000
I love that one you.
1063
00:42:56,517 --> 00:42:57,620
That's what God made.
1064
00:42:57,620 --> 00:43:01,482
This moment is to
the greatest woman
1065
00:43:01,482 --> 00:43:02,655
I've ever known.
1066
00:43:02,655 --> 00:43:04,344
To the greatest, cheers.
1067
00:43:04,344 --> 00:43:06,241
- Yes.
- Cheers.
1068
00:43:06,241 --> 00:43:08,758
[Drew] I might
steal your cookies if you
just hand them over my way.
1068
