1
00:00:00,862 --> 00:00:01,758
Kate Hudson taught us
2
00:00:01,758 --> 00:00:03,206
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,
3
00:00:03,206 --> 00:00:06,034
but this international movie star is now showing us
4
00:00:06,034 --> 00:00:07,655
how to create an outdoor oasis
5
00:00:07,655 --> 00:00:08,689
in under six weeks.
6
00:00:08,689 --> 00:00:10,310
Holy moly!
7
00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:12,206
It's a huge surprise for Melissa.
8
00:00:12,206 --> 00:00:13,862
- I did something for you. - What?
9
00:00:13,862 --> 00:00:15,137
I get emotional...
10
00:00:15,137 --> 00:00:17,482
Melissa is not only Kate's future mother-in-law
11
00:00:17,482 --> 00:00:18,965
and grandmother to her kids...
12
00:00:18,965 --> 00:00:21,137
I'm forever indebted to Melissa.
13
00:00:21,137 --> 00:00:23,103
She's the most selfless woman.
14
00:00:23,103 --> 00:00:25,448
She's a 30 year educator who raised
15
00:00:25,448 --> 00:00:27,482
three boys as a single parent.
16
00:00:27,482 --> 00:00:28,551
Everybody has their stuff.
17
00:00:28,551 --> 00:00:30,724
And I definitely had my fair share.
18
00:00:30,724 --> 00:00:32,517
Melissa cherishes her backyard
19
00:00:32,517 --> 00:00:35,172
but has not had the resources to keep it up.
20
00:00:35,172 --> 00:00:36,689
It's just a lot for her.
21
00:00:36,689 --> 00:00:39,655
So, Kate is literally getting down and dirty...
22
00:00:39,655 --> 00:00:41,620
Oh, my God!
23
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:42,862
Two, three, go!
24
00:00:42,862 --> 00:00:45,758
Oh! Oh! Totally !
25
00:00:45,758 --> 00:00:47,000
To surprise Melissa...
26
00:00:50,482 --> 00:00:52,965
...with the backyard of her dreams.
27
00:00:52,965 --> 00:00:54,034
Open your eyes.
28
00:00:55,034 --> 00:00:56,655
It's so beautiful!

00:01:07,896 --> 00:01:09,965
You guys, this is so much fun.
31
00:01:09,965 --> 00:01:12,344
Here's my question. Whether it's singing, whether it's dancing,
32
00:01:12,344 --> 00:01:15,275
whether it's acting... what's your favorite side of what you do?
33
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:17,551
My mom would say, "It's when you sing.
34
00:01:17,551 --> 00:01:21,000
Like, you can tell. Like, when you're singing, you're your happiest."
35
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,620
But I also love doing a scene.
36
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:25,344
Like, I did this scene in Knives Out,
37
00:01:25,344 --> 00:01:27,379
just, you know, this last movie,
38
00:01:27,379 --> 00:01:29,896
and there's moments when you're playing a character
39
00:01:29,896 --> 00:01:31,379
that you love,
40
00:01:31,379 --> 00:01:33,586
that you're like, "Oh, my God. There's nothing better in the world."
41
00:01:33,586 --> 00:01:34,862
- It's why I do it. - Yeah.
42
00:01:34,862 --> 00:01:37,862
And then, I get these opportunities, like with you guys,
43
00:01:37,862 --> 00:01:39,896
to do something special for someone
44
00:01:39,896 --> 00:01:43,620
who really deserves something for herself.
45
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:45,793
Kate has known Melissa for 20 years.
46
00:01:45,793 --> 00:01:48,206
And even before she and Melissa's son Danny were together,
47
00:01:48,206 --> 00:01:49,896
she admired her as an educator.
48
00:01:49,896 --> 00:01:52,034
Yeah, well, she's also inspirational to Kate.
49
00:01:52,034 --> 00:01:53,724
Melissa went through a rough divorce
50
00:01:53,724 --> 00:01:55,655
and raised three boys all on her own.
51
00:01:55,655 --> 00:01:56,965
Fast-forward to now,
52
00:01:56,965 --> 00:01:59,517
Melissa isn't just grandmother to Kate's daughter Rani,
53
00:01:59,517 --> 00:02:01,413
she also helps take care of Kate's other two boys
54
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:03,275
and she's become a grandmother to them all.
55
00:02:03,275 --> 00:02:06,482
Everything she does is for her children and her grandchildren.
56
00:02:06,482 --> 00:02:07,586
That's amazing.
57
00:02:07,586 --> 00:02:11,068
The backyard, you'll see how, like, raggedy it is.
58
00:02:11,068 --> 00:02:12,344
This is where, like...
59
00:02:12,344 --> 00:02:14,206
Rani goes over there and does art with her all the time.
60
00:02:14,206 --> 00:02:17,172
Which is what she thinks is happening right now, by the way.
61
00:02:17,172 --> 00:02:19,241
- Oh, really? - She thinks that I'm coming with Rani. Yeah.
62
00:02:19,241 --> 00:02:20,827
- Oh, okay. - To do art.
63
00:02:20,827 --> 00:02:22,655
Her backyard is her sanctuary.
64
00:02:22,655 --> 00:02:23,827
Her healing place
65
00:02:23,827 --> 00:02:25,931
to garden and paint with Kate's kids.
66
00:02:25,931 --> 00:02:27,896
But she can't afford to give it the safety
67
00:02:27,896 --> 00:02:29,413
and functional update it needs.
68
00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:32,241
Well, Kate says that Melissa loves the south of France vibe,
69
00:02:32,241 --> 00:02:34,965
and wants to bring that to her backyard makeover.
70
00:02:34,965 --> 00:02:36,586
- It does sound nice. - It does.
71
00:02:36,586 --> 00:02:41,068
Honestly, I feel like I hit the jackpot with Melissa as a mother-in-law.
72
00:02:41,068 --> 00:02:43,310
I mean, she's not really my mother-in-law... yet.
73
00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:44,413
But she will be.
74
00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:45,896
- Is this big news? - Oh!
75
00:02:45,896 --> 00:02:48,000
No, I mean, it's not news. Nobody knows
76
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,586
but we're gonna tie the knot.
77
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,620
You're a little further ahead than Jonathan is what you're saying.
78
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:53,655
Oh, yeah. Yeah, Jonathan.
79
00:02:53,655 --> 00:02:55,586
Is this a competition? I didn't realize this.
80
00:02:55,586 --> 00:02:57,931
Jonathan, I think you're a little...
81
00:02:57,931 --> 00:02:58,965
- Hold on one sec. - You're lagging.
82
00:02:58,965 --> 00:02:59,931
Zoe...
83
00:02:59,931 --> 00:03:01,344
will you...?
84
00:03:01,344 --> 00:03:02,310
Set the date.
85
00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:03,344
- Really... - No.
86
00:03:05,172 --> 00:03:06,172
We're gonna get sneaky.
87
00:03:06,172 --> 00:03:07,482
I'm so excited!
88
00:03:07,482 --> 00:03:09,172
She's gonna freak out.
89
00:03:11,206 --> 00:03:12,896
How do you even sneak
90
00:03:12,896 --> 00:03:13,862
in front of a house like this?
91
00:03:13,862 --> 00:03:15,172
This way!
92
00:03:15,172 --> 00:03:18,310
There's loud gravel and there's a big window
93
00:03:18,310 --> 00:03:19,689
and you gotta get over there.
94
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:21,758
Okay, we'll hide right here.
95
00:03:23,689 --> 00:03:24,551
Moo-Moo!
96
00:03:26,689 --> 00:03:28,344
Hello, hello. Hi, darling!
97
00:03:28,344 --> 00:03:30,413
Hi! Come on outside.
98
00:03:30,413 --> 00:03:31,689
- How are you? - I'm good.
99
00:03:31,689 --> 00:03:34,034
What the heck?
100
00:03:34,034 --> 00:03:35,620
Look at all these cameras.
101
00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,379
Woo wee. What are you doing?
102
00:03:37,379 --> 00:03:38,551
- Do you have Rani? - Well... no.
103
00:03:39,965 --> 00:03:41,620
- Moo-Moo. - Yes, darling.
104
00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:42,965
I did something for you
105
00:03:42,965 --> 00:03:44,758
that I'm really excited about.
106
00:03:45,275 --> 00:03:47,137
- Um... - What?
107
00:03:48,103 --> 00:03:49,862
You're crazy. What are you up to?
108
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:51,620
So... I get emotional.
109
00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:52,724
I know.
110
00:03:52,724 --> 00:03:54,655
I couldn't ask for...
111
00:03:54,655 --> 00:04:00,482
a more amazing woman to be my daughter's grandmother.
112
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:03,068
Um...
113
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:06,103
So, I wanted to do something for you
114
00:04:06,103 --> 00:04:09,103
and I brought these gentlemen here
115
00:04:09,103 --> 00:04:10,758
that are gonna surprise you...
116
00:04:10,758 --> 00:04:12,448
- Hello, ladies. - Nice to see you.
117
00:04:12,448 --> 00:04:13,931
Holy moly!
118
00:04:13,931 --> 00:04:15,310
Oh, my gosh!
119
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:16,586
I know you know these guys.
120
00:04:16,586 --> 00:04:17,862
Thank you!
121
00:04:17,862 --> 00:04:20,206
No, I know you. I've been your fan for like, you know,
122
00:04:20,206 --> 00:04:22,137
well, I won't date you, but...
123
00:04:22,137 --> 00:04:24,931
When they hopped out, I was... "What?"
124
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:26,413
I was so flabbergasted.
125
00:04:26,413 --> 00:04:28,413
We hear that you're into the garden.
126
00:04:28,413 --> 00:04:29,758
You have a nice little sanctuary
127
00:04:29,758 --> 00:04:30,724
that can use a little work.
128
00:04:30,724 --> 00:04:32,896
Really? You noticed?
129
00:04:32,896 --> 00:04:34,275
Well, we haven't even seen it yet.
130
00:04:34,275 --> 00:04:36,413
- We were just going off what Kate told us. - Oh, my God!
131
00:04:36,413 --> 00:04:38,965
Melissa, who we now call Moo-Moo,
132
00:04:38,965 --> 00:04:41,965
is my partner Danny's mother.
133
00:04:41,965 --> 00:04:45,206
She's someone I've actually known for 20 years now.
134
00:04:45,206 --> 00:04:46,827
Before I was with Danny.
135
00:04:46,827 --> 00:04:50,551
Kate's oldest son, Ryder, went to my school.
136
00:04:50,551 --> 00:04:52,241
I was a teacher for years and years
137
00:04:52,241 --> 00:04:54,586
and loved, loved teaching.
138
00:04:54,586 --> 00:04:57,379
I would see her every morning when she'd drop him off.
139
00:04:57,379 --> 00:04:59,724
He is his mother reincarnated.
140
00:04:59,724 --> 00:05:02,000
I love him to pieces.
141
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,137
I knew Danny when he was in high school.
142
00:05:05,137 --> 00:05:07,172
And that's when I really met Moo-Moo.
143
00:05:07,896 --> 00:05:10,103
She's an incredible woman,
144
00:05:10,103 --> 00:05:11,448
she loves to garden,
145
00:05:11,448 --> 00:05:13,448
she loves to paint.
146
00:05:13,448 --> 00:05:15,206
Most importantly,
147
00:05:15,206 --> 00:05:17,655
she loves being a grandma, being Moo-Moo.
148
00:05:18,827 --> 00:05:21,172
First time I walked in and I was Grandma,
149
00:05:21,172 --> 00:05:23,034
they said, "What do I call you?"
150
00:05:23,034 --> 00:05:25,275
So we worked it out and now they call me Moo-Moo.
151
00:05:25,965 --> 00:05:27,965
It's fun, it's really fun.
152
00:05:28,655 --> 00:05:29,655
She never had a girl.
153
00:05:29,655 --> 00:05:30,793
I remember when she realized
154
00:05:30,793 --> 00:05:32,689
that Danny and I were really in love
155
00:05:32,689 --> 00:05:33,862
she was like...
156
00:05:33,862 --> 00:05:35,517
"Oh, my God."
157
00:05:35,517 --> 00:05:38,310
I'm so lucky with the girls my boys have.
158
00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:40,137
You're like my daughters now.
159
00:05:40,137 --> 00:05:43,034
It's pretty exciting when your son falls in love,
160
00:05:43,034 --> 00:05:45,275
and they fall in love and they're so happy.
161
00:05:45,275 --> 00:05:46,896
And that's the best ever.
162
00:05:47,793 --> 00:05:49,000
She got divorced
163
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,827
and those things are never fun.
164
00:05:51,827 --> 00:05:55,620
She was trying to manage her career
165
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:56,931
and at the same time
166
00:05:56,931 --> 00:05:58,655
be there for her sons
167
00:05:58,655 --> 00:06:02,103
who were, you know, really going through a lot.
168
00:06:02,103 --> 00:06:03,827
Life is hard, you know.
169
00:06:03,827 --> 00:06:05,034
Life is hard for everybody
170
00:06:05,034 --> 00:06:06,172
and everybody has their stuff.
171
00:06:06,172 --> 00:06:09,034
And I've definitely had my fair share.
172
00:06:09,896 --> 00:06:11,034
I was injured.
173
00:06:11,034 --> 00:06:13,000
I couldn't get around, I broke both feet
174
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,206
in the same fall six months ago.
175
00:06:15,206 --> 00:06:18,034
And I couldn't do my spring garden
176
00:06:18,034 --> 00:06:19,724
the way I wanted to.
177
00:06:19,724 --> 00:06:23,103
And I've just been sad that I couldn't live to the fullest out like I wanna live.
178
00:06:23,103 --> 00:06:25,413
It's been a bit of a challenge.
179
00:06:25,413 --> 00:06:26,862
When this opportunity came up,
180
00:06:26,862 --> 00:06:27,931
we all got really emotional
181
00:06:27,931 --> 00:06:30,758
'cause it sort of highlights
182
00:06:30,758 --> 00:06:32,862
how much she does for everybody else.
183
00:06:32,862 --> 00:06:35,758
And that we've never really been able to do something like this for her.
184
00:06:36,758 --> 00:06:38,379
I actually...
185
00:06:38,379 --> 00:06:41,896
carried some of her DNA in my body, right?
186
00:06:41,896 --> 00:06:44,724
So, like, the connection that I get from her
187
00:06:44,724 --> 00:06:46,586
as my daughter's grandmother
188
00:06:46,586 --> 00:06:48,551
makes me just so happy
189
00:06:48,551 --> 00:06:52,758
that that's the family I get to get tied to forever.
190
00:06:52,758 --> 00:06:55,655
I feel really, you know, personally blessed
191
00:06:55,655 --> 00:06:57,068
to be in Kate's life
192
00:06:57,068 --> 00:07:00,896
and I suspect she feels the same way.
193
00:07:00,896 --> 00:07:03,965
Honestly, at this point, I don't know how I could live without her.
194
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:05,172
I can't believe you're doing...
195
00:07:05,172 --> 00:07:06,379
It doesn't feel real,
196
00:07:06,379 --> 00:07:08,724
but it just warms my heart, you just can't even imagine.
197
00:07:08,724 --> 00:07:10,241
She has plans.
198
00:07:10,241 --> 00:07:12,275
She already has told us things that she wants,
199
00:07:12,275 --> 00:07:15,344
but we don't want you to know about it or see about it.
200
00:07:15,344 --> 00:07:17,620
- So we actually have a car that'll take you to lunch. - All righty.
201
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:19,413
If you don't mind us poking around the backyard a little bit.
202
00:07:19,413 --> 00:07:20,793
No. But watch your step, though.
203
00:07:20,793 --> 00:07:22,413
Yeah, well, I heard about your ankles.
204
00:07:22,413 --> 00:07:23,827
- Maybe let me give you... - I'm still a little limpy.
205
00:07:23,827 --> 00:07:26,172
I'll walk you to the car just to make sure...
206
00:07:26,172 --> 00:07:27,413
- Okay. - I love you!
207
00:07:27,413 --> 00:07:28,482
This is crazy!
208
00:07:28,482 --> 00:07:30,655
This surprise is so heartwarming
209
00:07:30,655 --> 00:07:33,517
and such a gift that I have to accept
210
00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:36,758
and just be like, "Okay! I do deserve something wonderful"
211
00:07:36,758 --> 00:07:39,275
Are you cool while we do the work
212
00:07:39,275 --> 00:07:41,068
if you just stay with Kate?
213
00:07:41,068 --> 00:07:42,206
'Cause she could use the extra person.
214
00:07:42,206 --> 00:07:45,965
Oh, yeah. I'm going to demand that you stay with me.
215
00:07:47,827 --> 00:07:50,241
I'm ready. Bring it on!
216
00:07:50,241 --> 00:07:51,931
- Oh, wow. - Like a super garden.
217
00:07:51,931 --> 00:07:54,137
Welcome to the jungle, baby!
218
00:07:54,137 --> 00:07:55,793
Wow! I love this! This is great, though.
219
00:07:55,793 --> 00:07:57,000
Isn't it amazing?
220
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,448
It doesn't feel like you're in the city.
221
00:07:58,448 --> 00:08:01,793
It already has like, a magical quality to it.
222
00:08:01,793 --> 00:08:02,896
It's just...
223
00:08:02,896 --> 00:08:04,000
...it's a danger zone.
224
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,689
I mean, there's a lot of pruning.
225
00:08:05,689 --> 00:08:07,413
Looks... under maintenance.
226
00:08:07,413 --> 00:08:09,344
Yeah, and the deck is...
227
00:08:09,344 --> 00:08:11,344
- Look, the railing is rusted right through. - Yeah.
228
00:08:11,344 --> 00:08:13,206
- So this is literally... - Yeah.
229
00:08:13,206 --> 00:08:14,862
Yeah, that's no good. You can see it's rotten.
230
00:08:14,862 --> 00:08:17,241
Yeah, it's really not safe.
231
00:08:17,241 --> 00:08:19,551
So, if she has already broken both her ankles.
232
00:08:19,551 --> 00:08:22,034
- Yes, and she-- - She's a little weak on her feet.
233
00:08:22,034 --> 00:08:25,068
So she comes out on a porch that is already falling apart.
234
00:08:25,068 --> 00:08:28,206
But wait a second, let's go down to the jagged boulder rocks.
235
00:08:28,206 --> 00:08:31,379
And then, even worse, coming down to the slippery pebbles down here.
236
00:08:31,379 --> 00:08:34,068
Slippery rocks. You can see that the landscape fabric's all coming out.
237
00:08:34,068 --> 00:08:35,965
I think one of the most important things we wanna do
238
00:08:35,965 --> 00:08:38,413
is re-grade all of this
239
00:08:38,413 --> 00:08:40,000
so that it's more level.
240
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,137
We even have stabilizer for rocks,
241
00:08:42,137 --> 00:08:44,034
so that your rocks don't kick around like this.
242
00:08:44,034 --> 00:08:45,827
It actually keeps it nice and solid.
243
00:08:45,827 --> 00:08:47,310
Can you come do that at my house?
244
00:08:49,206 --> 00:08:51,310
When it comes to design,
245
00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:53,551
I'm a little bit of a crazy person.
246
00:08:53,551 --> 00:08:55,000
I love it.
247
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,862
My dream would be to have an outdoor eating area, kitchen area...
248
00:08:58,862 --> 00:08:59,931
- Mmm-hmm. - Yeah.
249
00:08:59,931 --> 00:09:02,448
Also, like, if you look to the house this way,
250
00:09:02,448 --> 00:09:03,724
you've got the kitchen here
251
00:09:03,724 --> 00:09:06,413
and you actually have her bedroom over here.
252
00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:08,172
And she always had a dream of, like,
253
00:09:08,172 --> 00:09:12,241
"It'd be so nice to be able to get to a deck from my bedroom."
254
00:09:12,241 --> 00:09:14,482
So she could have the doors open when she's in bed...
255
00:09:14,482 --> 00:09:16,413
That would be incredible.
256
00:09:16,413 --> 00:09:19,379
Let's also relocate the electrical over to the side of the house
257
00:09:19,379 --> 00:09:21,241
so it's out of the view of the yard
258
00:09:21,241 --> 00:09:23,206
and out of the view of the window.
259
00:09:23,206 --> 00:09:25,275
That's so exciting. Can you really do that?
260
00:09:25,275 --> 00:09:27,034
Oh, yeah.
261
00:09:27,034 --> 00:09:29,068
Why make a place beautiful if you look out your window and you just see a pole?
262
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:32,275
We haven't even seen the shed.
263
00:09:32,275 --> 00:09:34,379
It's kind of like her art shed.
264
00:09:34,379 --> 00:09:35,448
She loves to do art.
265
00:09:35,448 --> 00:09:37,413
I see spikes coming out of the bushes.
266
00:09:37,413 --> 00:09:38,724
Scary.
267
00:09:38,724 --> 00:09:40,482
I do like the grapes, though. This is cool.
268
00:09:40,482 --> 00:09:42,862
I know! She planted them, you guys!
269
00:09:42,862 --> 00:09:44,068
- So... - Wow, look at this.
270
00:09:44,068 --> 00:09:45,724
Yeah.
271
00:09:45,724 --> 00:09:47,620
So that would have been the original fireplace for the heating here.
272
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:49,103
I mean, this structure is...
273
00:09:49,103 --> 00:09:50,551
- really, really old. - It's really sweet, isn't it?
274
00:09:50,551 --> 00:09:52,551
It has a really amazing energy.
275
00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:54,827
Kate says Melissa finds peace in painting,
276
00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:57,275
and always uses this shed as a makeshift studio
277
00:09:57,275 --> 00:09:59,482
to do all kinds of art projects with the grandkids.
278
00:09:59,482 --> 00:10:00,931
Yeah, it's a great space
279
00:10:00,931 --> 00:10:02,551
and it's in pretty good structural shape.
280
00:10:02,551 --> 00:10:04,448
But we wanna elevate it design-wise
281
00:10:04,448 --> 00:10:05,551
to be a cozy retreat
282
00:10:05,551 --> 00:10:07,275
for both Melissa and the grandkids.
283
00:10:07,275 --> 00:10:11,068
And this is where my daughter sits all the time to paint.
284
00:10:11,068 --> 00:10:13,310
And it might be even as easy as...
285
00:10:13,310 --> 00:10:15,620
flooring, like, finish some of the walls
286
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:16,931
even if we do them up to match.
287
00:10:16,931 --> 00:10:19,103
And just create what feels like a completed space,
288
00:10:19,103 --> 00:10:20,931
'cause right now it does still feel like a shed.
289
00:10:20,931 --> 00:10:22,310
- Like, it feels unfinished. - Yeah.
290
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:25,551
It's cute. It wouldn't take much more to make it sublime.
291
00:10:25,551 --> 00:10:27,275
But I really wanna see what's happening.
292
00:10:27,275 --> 00:10:30,034
- There's a whole extra level down below here. - Okay.
293
00:10:30,034 --> 00:10:31,689
- Yeah-- - That's the back 40.
294
00:10:31,689 --> 00:10:34,931
That's where, I think she had like a bocce ball court down there at some point.
295
00:10:34,931 --> 00:10:37,448
- Oh, wow. - I see what you mean, though, about, like, .
296
00:10:37,448 --> 00:10:38,896
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! Slip hazard!
297
00:10:38,896 --> 00:10:40,517
Yeah, this is kinda crazy.
298
00:10:40,517 --> 00:10:42,137
That has happened.
299
00:10:42,137 --> 00:10:44,275
You can see that these steps to go from one level to another
300
00:10:44,275 --> 00:10:46,034
were kinda slapped together
301
00:10:46,034 --> 00:10:47,827
and they were definitely not done by a professional.
302
00:10:47,827 --> 00:10:50,000
Yeah, Melissa's recovering from two broken ankles
303
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,551
so we wanna provide both stylish and safe steps
304
00:10:52,551 --> 00:10:53,793
for her and the kids.
305
00:10:53,793 --> 00:10:56,896
This is the area she brings out all her chairs
306
00:10:56,896 --> 00:10:58,068
and this is where the hang is, right?
307
00:10:59,103 --> 00:11:00,482
So, my dream...
308
00:11:01,448 --> 00:11:02,517
And a good hang it is.
309
00:11:02,517 --> 00:11:04,655
...would be, like, this being the hang
310
00:11:04,655 --> 00:11:07,103
with some sort of fire component.
311
00:11:07,103 --> 00:11:08,551
- Oh, yeah. Set the mood? - Ooh, fire!
312
00:11:08,551 --> 00:11:11,965
That'd be... Yeah. It'd be nice if this was maybe softer,
313
00:11:11,965 --> 00:11:14,137
not so much hard scape.
314
00:11:14,137 --> 00:11:16,965
She has so much beautiful greenery back here.
315
00:11:16,965 --> 00:11:18,655
The different bushes and trees...
316
00:11:18,655 --> 00:11:21,034
You have the citrus trees over there and the flowers.
317
00:11:21,034 --> 00:11:22,275
Everything is gorgeous.
318
00:11:22,275 --> 00:11:23,862
But it's just...
319
00:11:24,379 --> 00:11:25,344
a lot for her.
320
00:11:25,344 --> 00:11:26,827
It's just a lot.
321
00:11:26,827 --> 00:11:29,206
I assume she does most of her gardening on the bottom there,
322
00:11:29,206 --> 00:11:30,862
'cause you can see tons of planters--
323
00:11:30,862 --> 00:11:33,068
Yeah, this is her vegetable garden.
324
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:35,172
I really wanna have a look at what this scary thing is.
325
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:36,275
- This is... - Oh.
326
00:11:36,275 --> 00:11:37,482
This is the time-out box?
327
00:11:37,482 --> 00:11:39,655
Yeah, well... It can go, guys.
328
00:11:39,655 --> 00:11:40,758
Wait...
329
00:11:40,758 --> 00:11:41,862
No, no...
330
00:11:41,862 --> 00:11:44,137
- Oh, God! You made me jump! - Oh, my God!
331
00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:45,551
Oh, my God.
332
00:11:45,551 --> 00:11:49,137
This is just some really gross toolshed. Oh, my God.
333
00:11:49,137 --> 00:11:51,068
Look, there's a chicken coop as well.
334
00:11:51,068 --> 00:11:53,448
Yeah. Well, the chicken coup is no longer.
335
00:11:53,448 --> 00:11:56,551
This is a lot of good gardening space, I think.
336
00:11:56,551 --> 00:11:59,655
Gardening is like her happy place.
337
00:11:59,655 --> 00:12:01,896
I think this actually was at one point...
338
00:12:01,896 --> 00:12:03,448
- A little bocce court? - A bocce... Mmm-hmm.
339
00:12:03,448 --> 00:12:05,172
Personally, she loves France.
340
00:12:05,172 --> 00:12:06,551
South of France is like...
341
00:12:07,206 --> 00:12:08,655
heaven for her.
342
00:12:08,655 --> 00:12:11,344
And you can kinda tell. It's got like, a little French vibe, right?
343
00:12:11,344 --> 00:12:13,931
Like, a passe-dix and a boules would be, like, amazing.
344
00:12:13,931 --> 00:12:16,517
If you just dream of what this'll feel like,
345
00:12:16,517 --> 00:12:18,586
that there's actually activity happening here,
346
00:12:18,586 --> 00:12:20,344
you know, would be beautiful.
347
00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:22,413
You could make this, if we're crazy enough,
348
00:12:22,413 --> 00:12:23,517
multipurpose,
349
00:12:23,517 --> 00:12:26,827
and have raised beds and also a bocce ball court.
350
00:12:26,827 --> 00:12:29,379
I mean, that would be unbelievable.
351
00:12:29,379 --> 00:12:31,620
Melissa's oasis is her backyard,
352
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:33,620
so Kate wants to improve its safety
353
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:36,000
and make this a stunning, low maintenance,
354
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,551
family friendly retreat.
355
00:12:37,551 --> 00:12:39,034
First, we'll span a new deck
356
00:12:39,034 --> 00:12:41,068
across the entire back of the house
357
00:12:41,068 --> 00:12:42,586
and add French doors,
358
00:12:42,586 --> 00:12:45,931
so Melissa can enjoy the floral scape off the bedroom with coffee
359
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:48,034
or off the kitchen with a glass of rose.
360
00:12:48,034 --> 00:12:51,413
Down the stairs, we'll create a five star kitchen and dining space.
361
00:12:51,413 --> 00:12:52,551
With a 38-inch grill
362
00:12:52,551 --> 00:12:55,068
recessed into a gorgeous porcelain countertop
363
00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:57,896
accompanied by a harvest-style table and plush chairs
364
00:12:57,896 --> 00:13:00,448
for the ultimate dining and entertaining experience.
365
00:13:00,448 --> 00:13:02,482
Then we'll freshen up that casita.
366
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:06,103
Luxury vinyl floors and stylish wood planks on the ceiling
367
00:13:06,103 --> 00:13:08,034
with a fresh coat of paint on the exterior
368
00:13:08,034 --> 00:13:10,655
will make this space a more inviting art studio
369
00:13:10,655 --> 00:13:12,310
for Melissa and the grandkids.
370
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:15,448
We'll improve the stairs and grounds on the second level
371
00:13:15,448 --> 00:13:17,241
to make it safer for Melissa to walk,
372
00:13:17,241 --> 00:13:18,413
for the kids to play,
373
00:13:18,413 --> 00:13:20,793
and even add a luxurious fireplace
374
00:13:20,793 --> 00:13:22,482
for cozy evenings under the stars.
375
00:13:22,482 --> 00:13:25,482
Melissa loves planting seasonal herbs and vegetables,
376
00:13:25,482 --> 00:13:29,482
so adding raised beds will not only help organize and optimize her garden,
377
00:13:29,482 --> 00:13:31,758
but make it easier on her back and ankles.
378
00:13:31,758 --> 00:13:34,000
And finally, a new bocce court.
379
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,103
Fun for the whole family and the perfect European game
380
00:13:37,103 --> 00:13:40,275
for a garden inspired by the south of France.
381
00:13:40,275 --> 00:13:41,827
How fast is this gonna take?
382
00:13:41,827 --> 00:13:45,413
Realistically, we have a lot of different areas that we're talking about.
383
00:13:45,413 --> 00:13:48,655
With outdoor dining and fire features and deck expansion.
384
00:13:48,655 --> 00:13:49,620
Yeah.
385
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:51,413
This is big project.
386
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:53,413
Grading and building new retaining walls
387
00:13:53,413 --> 00:13:54,689
while preserving some of the greenery
388
00:13:54,689 --> 00:13:57,137
will take lots of time and coordination.
389
00:13:57,137 --> 00:14:00,241
I'd say six weeks, something like that would be like, super, super...
390
00:14:00,241 --> 00:14:01,482
You can do this in six weeks?
391
00:14:01,482 --> 00:14:02,896
We could do this in six weeks.
392
00:14:02,896 --> 00:14:04,137
Wait, are you not gonna fight us and say, "Do this in three weeks!"
393
00:14:04,137 --> 00:14:06,827
No, I want you guys to come do my house.
394
00:14:06,827 --> 00:14:08,689
In six weeks!
395
00:14:08,689 --> 00:14:09,862
Well, then, I'd say, as of tomorrow,
396
00:14:09,862 --> 00:14:10,965
we get started and we make it happen.
397
00:14:10,965 --> 00:14:12,482
And if you just need to get in the mood,
398
00:14:12,482 --> 00:14:14,000
no problem, there's just a door behind you,
399
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,482
just kick it, you know, whatever, you know.
400
00:14:17,896 --> 00:14:18,896
Did you see that?
401
00:14:18,896 --> 00:14:19,827
You're an animal!
402
00:14:19,827 --> 00:14:20,827
That is good!
403
00:14:20,827 --> 00:14:22,724
That's 'cause Kurt Russell's my dad.
404
00:14:22,724 --> 00:14:24,586
- Yeah. - He's an action hero.
405
00:14:24,586 --> 00:14:27,310
Can you bring Kurt to help with demo? Is that...
406
00:14:27,310 --> 00:14:30,551
I'm forever indebted to Melissa, to Moo-Moo,
407
00:14:30,551 --> 00:14:32,000
and I love her to pieces.
408
00:14:32,931 --> 00:14:35,827
I hope every time she comes out here
409
00:14:35,827 --> 00:14:37,068
and sits in her garden
410
00:14:37,068 --> 00:14:40,137
that she's reminded how held and loved she is.
411
00:14:55,586 --> 00:14:56,793
It's demolition day.
412
00:14:56,793 --> 00:14:58,448
- Does that feel good? - Woo-hoo!
413
00:14:58,448 --> 00:15:00,482
- Yeah. - All right.
414
00:15:00,482 --> 00:15:02,448
Demo is, like, a bucket list thing.
415
00:15:02,448 --> 00:15:04,689
Oh, my God. I can't believe, you guys...
416
00:15:04,689 --> 00:15:07,862
I've always wanted to take down.
417
00:15:07,862 --> 00:15:11,482
Thank you for all of the wonderful shading you gave us,
418
00:15:11,482 --> 00:15:12,655
but you're gone!
419
00:15:12,655 --> 00:15:15,310
Kate came to rock this demolition.
420
00:15:15,310 --> 00:15:17,103
We're gonna bring in your new and improved.
421
00:15:17,103 --> 00:15:18,827
That's right.
422
00:15:18,827 --> 00:15:21,379
She loves Melissa so much that she doesn't wanna just have someone come and do this,
423
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:22,620
she wants to do this for her.
424
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:24,137
- Ready? - All right, start rocking it.
425
00:15:24,137 --> 00:15:26,827
All right. Three, two, one.
426
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:29,275
Keep going.
427
00:15:30,068 --> 00:15:32,517
Pull! And pull!
428
00:15:33,068 --> 00:15:34,275
Pull! Pull!
429
00:15:36,448 --> 00:15:39,275
- Yeah! - Holy !
430
00:15:39,275 --> 00:15:41,965
Watching that come down
431
00:15:41,965 --> 00:15:43,103
was like...
432
00:15:43,103 --> 00:15:44,551
Wow!
433
00:15:44,551 --> 00:15:45,827
- Good work! -
434
00:15:45,827 --> 00:15:46,965
...happy emotional.
435
00:15:46,965 --> 00:15:48,172
Wow!
436
00:15:49,482 --> 00:15:50,827
I love this!
437
00:15:50,827 --> 00:15:52,620
I know you've wanted to do that for a very long time.
438
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:54,827
That is amazing!
439
00:15:54,827 --> 00:15:56,000
Can you already picture
440
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,793
the deck running all the way across,
441
00:15:57,793 --> 00:15:59,275
a better shade structure?
442
00:15:59,275 --> 00:16:01,896
Oh, my God. It's gonna be... amazing.
443
00:16:01,896 --> 00:16:04,896
You could see already in Kate's mind,
444
00:16:04,896 --> 00:16:06,862
"This is happening, this is real," and she loved it.
445
00:16:06,862 --> 00:16:08,241
Jonathan and I just need to go on lunch,
446
00:16:08,241 --> 00:16:09,758
so if you wanna just pull that around and throw it in the dump.
447
00:16:09,758 --> 00:16:10,827
- You got that? - Sure, sure.
448
00:16:10,827 --> 00:16:12,206
- All right. - Great.
449
00:16:12,206 --> 00:16:13,241
Wait, I don't...
450
00:16:15,758 --> 00:16:18,827
The amount of coffees we've had there,
451
00:16:18,827 --> 00:16:20,551
glasses of wine on that deck...
452
00:16:20,551 --> 00:16:23,068
And this idea that we're gonna, like, renew that...
453
00:16:24,448 --> 00:16:26,206
ugh, it's like, the best feeling.
454
00:16:28,482 --> 00:16:30,413
It's also pretty intense.
455
00:16:30,413 --> 00:16:32,241
Are you doing two at one time?
456
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:33,862
I can deadlift 100 pounds.
457
00:16:33,862 --> 00:16:37,000
Kate clearly works out 'cause she's got some muscle.
458
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,724
Oh, my God, you guys, this is so exciting!
459
00:16:39,724 --> 00:16:41,862
This is like the role of a lifetime for Kate.
460
00:16:41,862 --> 00:16:42,862
I mean, she's loving it.
461
00:16:44,965 --> 00:16:46,413
If we have her star in this movie,
462
00:16:46,413 --> 00:16:47,931
you think she'll have me come and star in her next movie?
463
00:16:47,931 --> 00:16:50,413
Wow! This is so exciting!
464
00:16:50,413 --> 00:16:51,758
- No, I don't. - Okay.
465
00:16:51,758 --> 00:16:54,172
Oh, wow, you guys!
466
00:16:54,172 --> 00:16:55,379
- Can I do more? - Yeah.
467
00:16:55,379 --> 00:16:56,655
- Cool. - There's so much more.
468
00:16:56,655 --> 00:16:59,896
There's nothing more satisfying than destroying things.
469
00:17:00,896 --> 00:17:01,793
Wow.
470
00:17:04,344 --> 00:17:05,965
Oh.
471
00:17:05,965 --> 00:17:08,793
He whips those saws around and stuff
472
00:17:08,793 --> 00:17:10,275
and the hammer, I'm like, "What?"
473
00:17:19,034 --> 00:17:20,068
Toss it on the pile.
474
00:17:21,827 --> 00:17:23,758
I'm about to bring this baby down.
475
00:17:23,758 --> 00:17:26,448
Kicking down the walls was my highlight.
476
00:17:27,758 --> 00:17:28,724
Oh, my God!
477
00:17:28,724 --> 00:17:30,000
- Yeah! - Drew, do yours!
478
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,517
Good work!
479
00:17:31,517 --> 00:17:33,310
One more! Yeah!
480
00:17:33,310 --> 00:17:34,482
- Whoo! - That was a high kick. That was good.
481
00:17:34,482 --> 00:17:36,517
It was so satisfying.
482
00:17:36,517 --> 00:17:37,793
That was impressive, your kick.
483
00:17:37,793 --> 00:17:40,758
Did you see Kate's kick when she knocked that wall down?
484
00:17:40,758 --> 00:17:43,482
I don't know if it's from Kurt Russell or if it's from Goldie,
485
00:17:43,482 --> 00:17:45,413
but there's an action superstar in Kate.
486
00:17:49,103 --> 00:17:51,482
Melissa always wanted to redo this house,
487
00:17:51,482 --> 00:17:53,793
she always wanted to redo something to it.
488
00:17:53,793 --> 00:17:57,482
As an educator, you're not making that kinda money that you could just,
489
00:17:57,482 --> 00:17:59,448
"Oh, I'm gonna redo my whole backyard!"
490
00:17:59,448 --> 00:18:00,689
You know? So...
491
00:18:00,689 --> 00:18:03,310
That fact that we're able to do this is just such a gift.
492
00:18:11,413 --> 00:18:12,310
That's the nicest
493
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:13,620
- thing you've ever said. - Holy moly!
494
00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:15,551
Kate Hudson's future mother-in-law Melissa
495
00:18:15,551 --> 00:18:17,586
gives her heart and soul to her family...
496
00:18:17,586 --> 00:18:20,448
Welcome to the jungle, baby!
497
00:18:20,448 --> 00:18:23,241
...so Kate wants to transform Melissa's tired backyard...
498
00:18:24,344 --> 00:18:25,724
Oh, my God!
499
00:18:25,724 --> 00:18:27,689
...into a five star outdoor oasis.
500
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:28,931
Yeah!
501
00:18:28,931 --> 00:18:31,896
I hope every time she comes out here
502
00:18:31,896 --> 00:18:34,448
she's reminded how held and loved she is.
503
00:18:40,413 --> 00:18:42,482
It's now week two in Melissa's backyard
504
00:18:42,482 --> 00:18:45,655
and we finally pulled out all the layers of patio stone,
505
00:18:45,655 --> 00:18:48,551
decking, retaining walls and a ton of overgrowth.
506
00:18:48,551 --> 00:18:49,793
So now we have a clean slate.
507
00:18:49,793 --> 00:18:51,068
You know what you're doing.
508
00:18:51,068 --> 00:18:52,793
- This isn't your first time. - I do!
509
00:18:52,793 --> 00:18:55,310
Which means it's the perfect time for Kate to help me pick the finishes
510
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:58,379
we need to rebuild Moo-Moo's little slice of the French countryside.
511
00:18:58,379 --> 00:19:00,482
I'm not seeing a lot of color here.
512
00:19:00,482 --> 00:19:03,068
Well, the color's gonna come I think from the florals
513
00:19:03,068 --> 00:19:05,620
and all the beautiful stuff that Melissa already brought to the yard.
514
00:19:05,620 --> 00:19:07,206
I was thinking more of, like, a Moroccan theme,
515
00:19:07,206 --> 00:19:08,275
I don't really know what's happening.
516
00:19:08,275 --> 00:19:09,517
- But, you know... - Okay.
517
00:19:10,655 --> 00:19:11,827
Off the table.
518
00:19:11,827 --> 00:19:13,275
To me, it's about design.
519
00:19:13,275 --> 00:19:15,172
I get a little crazy.
520
00:19:15,172 --> 00:19:18,586
Like, what is that actually going to look like?
521
00:19:18,586 --> 00:19:20,310
Is it gonna be elegant?
522
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:21,517
Is it gonna be romantic?
523
00:19:21,517 --> 00:19:23,000
Is it gonna be too industrial?
524
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,655
I'm just kidding, I know exactly...
525
00:19:24,655 --> 00:19:26,137
I can feel it, I'm excited!
526
00:19:26,137 --> 00:19:28,448
I know I'm in the best hands possible.
527
00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:32,793
How much time do you spend in the south of France?
528
00:19:32,793 --> 00:19:35,758
Not as much as I'd like to be in the south of France.
529
00:19:35,758 --> 00:19:37,103
I'd like to be there more as well.
530
00:19:37,103 --> 00:19:39,448
That's the vibe I want for her art studio.
531
00:19:39,448 --> 00:19:41,793
Yeah. Oh, I would love it. I can't wait.
532
00:19:41,793 --> 00:19:43,793
You can see, like, on the outside it's so weathered.
533
00:19:43,793 --> 00:19:45,517
- Yeah. - But there's no actual rot.
534
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:47,551
So, I feel we should paint it up.
535
00:19:47,551 --> 00:19:50,965
I'd love to see a beautiful light, maybe even white aesthetic.
536
00:19:50,965 --> 00:19:52,517
And we can do something with the trim.
537
00:19:52,517 --> 00:19:55,862
And then maybe also paint the brick a little bit darker too inside.
538
00:19:55,862 --> 00:19:58,068
- Okay... Oh, darker? - Yeah.
539
00:19:58,068 --> 00:20:00,655
I personally would lean towards the lighter colors.
540
00:20:00,655 --> 00:20:02,965
- Yeah. Yeah. Keep it nice and light. - Yeah.
541
00:20:02,965 --> 00:20:06,655
'Cause the other thing too is then we can layer in warmer textures.
542
00:20:06,655 --> 00:20:08,655
So, nice fabrics, things like that
543
00:20:08,655 --> 00:20:11,275
that are just gonna make it feel like a livable, loving space.
544
00:20:11,275 --> 00:20:12,275
Oh, fun.
545
00:20:12,275 --> 00:20:13,379
Oh! Like, oh, my God.
546
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,275
It's gonna get, like, cute, like fabric and stuff
547
00:20:15,275 --> 00:20:17,206
and it's gonna be just...
548
00:20:17,206 --> 00:20:18,379
She's gonna lose her mind.
549
00:20:18,379 --> 00:20:20,793
- You said that you wanted to expand the deck. - Yeah.
550
00:20:20,793 --> 00:20:24,620
How cool would it be to have a deck that she doesn't have to worry about repainting it.
551
00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:27,965
If we do it in a composite material
552
00:20:27,965 --> 00:20:29,551
that looks like real wood
553
00:20:29,551 --> 00:20:31,448
but is never gonna need maintenance?
554
00:20:31,448 --> 00:20:32,965
- I mean... haven't... - She'll love it.
555
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:35,862
The deck, maybe we go just a touch darker.
556
00:20:35,862 --> 00:20:37,034
- Yeah. - Yeah, like a midtone.
557
00:20:37,034 --> 00:20:38,827
Somewhere in the brown and gray realm.
558
00:20:38,827 --> 00:20:39,965
Yeah, so happy.
559
00:20:39,965 --> 00:20:41,827
So then we'll have a railing to go round,
560
00:20:41,827 --> 00:20:44,379
which I think maybe lighter is better.
561
00:20:44,379 --> 00:20:46,862
I'd go white. Now, what about the kitchen?
562
00:20:46,862 --> 00:20:47,827
The outdoor kitchen.
563
00:20:47,827 --> 00:20:50,137
Gonna do it in, like, a stucco finish.
564
00:20:50,137 --> 00:20:51,034
My favorite.
565
00:20:51,034 --> 00:20:52,034
Yeah, it's gonna be gorgeous.
566
00:20:52,034 --> 00:20:53,758
And then we have the appliances, like a fridge.
567
00:20:53,758 --> 00:20:55,620
- She's gonna freak out. - Yeah.
568
00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:58,275
Countertop, it'll have almost like a Roman clay finish.
569
00:20:58,275 --> 00:20:59,965
Like a really nice, soft finish.
570
00:20:59,965 --> 00:21:02,551
It's going very creamy, light...
571
00:21:02,551 --> 00:21:03,793
I love that.
572
00:21:03,793 --> 00:21:05,275
We're gonna kill it. It's gonna be great.
573
00:21:05,275 --> 00:21:07,862
I'm thinking over here, so we have a nice, solid surface
574
00:21:07,862 --> 00:21:09,344
for the outdoor dining area.
575
00:21:09,344 --> 00:21:11,724
- We'll build in our outdoor kitchen. - Okay.
576
00:21:11,724 --> 00:21:14,172
And then put in nice, big pavers in here
577
00:21:14,172 --> 00:21:16,931
so we have a solid place for a nice, big outdoor table.
578
00:21:18,275 --> 00:21:20,551
- So then the steps are gonna go down this way. - Yep.
579
00:21:20,551 --> 00:21:21,862
And then the fireplace...
580
00:21:21,862 --> 00:21:23,241
It's a substantial one.
581
00:21:23,241 --> 00:21:25,517
And we would do it, maybe we do something light like this...
582
00:21:25,517 --> 00:21:26,413
Okay, cool.
583
00:21:26,413 --> 00:21:27,931
- Yeah. - How fun.
584
00:21:27,931 --> 00:21:30,379
We're going with this southern France vibe.
585
00:21:30,379 --> 00:21:32,551
Really elegant and inviting.
586
00:21:32,551 --> 00:21:34,827
Everything is gonna be well thought out.
587
00:21:34,827 --> 00:21:37,241
Then we get to the lowest level.
588
00:21:37,241 --> 00:21:39,241
- Oh, so fun! - And this is where she will probably
589
00:21:39,241 --> 00:21:40,241
spend all of her time.
590
00:21:40,241 --> 00:21:41,275
Raised planter beds.
591
00:21:41,275 --> 00:21:42,482
And then right up the middle,
592
00:21:42,482 --> 00:21:44,896
we'll have this gorgeous bocce ball court, which we have...
593
00:21:44,896 --> 00:21:49,448
This is the actual material that is bocce court certified.
594
00:21:49,448 --> 00:21:51,068
I like the color, too.
595
00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:54,000
Lastly, um, as far as our stone goes
596
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,551
between the pavers...
597
00:21:55,551 --> 00:21:57,172
Just from my own experience
598
00:21:57,172 --> 00:21:58,586
with bare feet.
599
00:21:58,586 --> 00:22:02,620
This size... it doesn't feel great on a foot.
600
00:22:03,275 --> 00:22:04,517
This size I can handle.
601
00:22:04,517 --> 00:22:07,241
I do like the smooth river rock.
602
00:22:07,241 --> 00:22:09,793
And we can get any of this in any size that we want.
603
00:22:09,793 --> 00:22:11,413
Yeah.
604
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:13,655
With the gravel, we gotta make sure that the babies can walk on it.
605
00:22:13,655 --> 00:22:15,413
Done! We'll make it happen.
606
00:22:15,413 --> 00:22:16,931
- Great! I'm so excited. - Thanks for being so easy.
607
00:22:16,931 --> 00:22:17,931
You're the best!
608
00:22:17,931 --> 00:22:21,689
Melissa... she's gonna flip out.
609
00:22:29,896 --> 00:22:32,275
One of the biggest concerns we had for this backyard
610
00:22:32,275 --> 00:22:34,586
was how uneven the ground and steps were.
611
00:22:34,586 --> 00:22:37,310
Especially since Melissa's recovering from two broken ankles.
612
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:40,137
In order to create three nice, safe levels,
613
00:22:40,137 --> 00:22:41,931
we wanna redo the retaining wall.
614
00:22:41,931 --> 00:22:44,000
So we're just using railroad ties.
615
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,275
That's gonna be a nice, earthy, organic way
616
00:22:46,275 --> 00:22:47,620
to get the effect that we want.
617
00:22:49,172 --> 00:22:50,655
Look at that grip.
618
00:22:50,655 --> 00:22:52,827
Instead of having multiple levels that are like this.
619
00:22:52,827 --> 00:22:54,827
We're now gonna have three levels that are like this.
620
00:23:03,862 --> 00:23:06,965
Wait, hold on, every Highland Game we ever went to,
621
00:23:06,965 --> 00:23:08,413
this is like tossing the caber.
622
00:23:08,413 --> 00:23:10,379
How good is your tossing of the caber?
623
00:23:10,379 --> 00:23:12,034
You have to flip it
624
00:23:12,034 --> 00:23:14,655
so it does a complete... summersault.
625
00:23:15,172 --> 00:23:16,793
Okay.
626
00:23:16,793 --> 00:23:18,689
- Don't kick your chin. - Yeah!
627
00:23:18,689 --> 00:23:19,758
For anyone who doesn't know...
628
00:23:19,758 --> 00:23:21,172
...tossing the caber...
629
00:23:21,172 --> 00:23:23,310
...is a proud, Scottish Highland game
630
00:23:23,310 --> 00:23:26,000
where you run and throw a 17-foot log in the air.
631
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,862
Remember, you have to do a full flip.
632
00:23:27,862 --> 00:23:30,379
It's not just that. It has to flip over before it lands.
633
00:23:30,379 --> 00:23:32,793
It's meant for only the strongest of Scotts.
634
00:23:32,793 --> 00:23:34,000
So, why are you doing it now?
635
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,862
I don't know.
636
00:23:36,862 --> 00:23:39,655
You failed your Scottish heritage.
637
00:23:39,655 --> 00:23:41,034
I failed, Dad.
638
00:23:41,034 --> 00:23:43,517
My Scottish roots are not coming out today.
639
00:23:43,517 --> 00:23:44,379
Ready?
640
00:23:46,034 --> 00:23:49,000
Wouldn't it be funny if you didn't get it over?
641
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,137
Your father would be real disappointed.
642
00:23:52,551 --> 00:23:55,896
This is gonna be a green, lush garden
643
00:23:55,896 --> 00:23:58,758
Yeah. It's pretty amazing for Melissa to be able to live in the city,
644
00:23:58,758 --> 00:24:01,482
but have this nature retreat right there in her backyard.
645
00:24:14,379 --> 00:24:17,931
With almost three weeks behind us the unique tired layout of this backyard
646
00:24:17,931 --> 00:24:19,896
has gone from hazardous to structured.
647
00:24:19,896 --> 00:24:21,965
New levelled steps are being formed
648
00:24:21,965 --> 00:24:24,517
and we're adding the crushed granite that Kate chose,
649
00:24:24,517 --> 00:24:28,034
which just adds a nice texture and it's easy on the feet whether they're big or small.
650
00:24:28,034 --> 00:24:30,000
And even though we're trying to keep Melissa's garden
651
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,344
lush and green as possible, we still need to pour some concrete.
652
00:24:33,344 --> 00:24:37,068
Yeah, building a solid foundation for Melissa's new deck is crucial.
653
00:24:37,068 --> 00:24:39,931
And we also wanna define her new kitchen and dining area
654
00:24:39,931 --> 00:24:42,551
with a five star hotel worthy patio.
655
00:24:42,551 --> 00:24:45,172
Every detail in this backyard is intentional.
656
00:24:45,172 --> 00:24:46,689
Every corner is curated
657
00:24:46,689 --> 00:24:49,448
to ensure that Melissa gets the maximum enjoyment from her favorite space.
658
00:24:51,517 --> 00:24:53,517
And while Kate is on set filming today,
659
00:24:53,517 --> 00:24:56,655
Drew and I are getting started on Melissa's shed.
660
00:24:56,655 --> 00:24:58,862
This art space is looking better and better.
661
00:24:58,862 --> 00:25:00,827
I mean, there's a lot we have to do to transform it.
662
00:25:00,827 --> 00:25:03,931
If we have the same paneling everywhere and give it the same color,
663
00:25:03,931 --> 00:25:06,620
same coat of paint, it's gonna make for a dramatic difference.
664
00:25:06,620 --> 00:25:09,448
What are the odds that we're able to match up,
665
00:25:09,448 --> 00:25:12,689
perfectly, to the material that they used before.
666
00:25:12,689 --> 00:25:16,413
That means that the finished product is gonna be a good match.
667
00:25:16,413 --> 00:25:17,517
I mean, Melissa's an artist.
668
00:25:17,517 --> 00:25:19,103
And this is her space to create,
669
00:25:19,103 --> 00:25:21,379
this is her space to connect with grandkids as well.
670
00:25:21,379 --> 00:25:22,689
I know that Kate's daughter
671
00:25:22,689 --> 00:25:24,000
would love to have this finished
672
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,689
and to be in here with Melissa.
673
00:25:25,689 --> 00:25:29,896
This shed will always be a great place for the kids to play and create some art,
674
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:32,034
but we also want it to flex for Melissa,
675
00:25:32,034 --> 00:25:34,275
a zen escape for her personal wellbeing.
676
00:25:34,275 --> 00:25:37,000
So we'll install a durable luxury vinyl flooring in here,
677
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,586
it's easy to clean and beautiful.
678
00:25:38,586 --> 00:25:40,931
All right, who wants to go pick up all the flooring?
679
00:25:40,931 --> 00:25:42,379
Jokester.
680
00:25:48,241 --> 00:25:51,103
Now that our concrete footing for the new back deck is fully cured
681
00:25:51,103 --> 00:25:52,517
it's time to get building.
682
00:25:52,517 --> 00:25:55,517
Expanding the deck right across the back of the house is genius,
683
00:25:55,517 --> 00:25:58,034
because it'll increase entertaining space.
684
00:25:58,034 --> 00:26:01,448
And it allows us to transform Melissa's bedroom window into French doors.
685
00:26:01,448 --> 00:26:04,758
We want this to be her new favorite spot for her morning coffee.
686
00:26:04,758 --> 00:26:07,482
We're also relocating the home's electrical service drop
687
00:26:07,482 --> 00:26:09,068
from in front of the kitchen window
688
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:10,758
to the side of the house where it belongs.
689
00:26:10,758 --> 00:26:12,827
And, of course, we're adding an irrigation system
690
00:26:12,827 --> 00:26:15,241
to make caring for the yard easier and efficient.
691
00:26:22,448 --> 00:26:26,034
There's definitely something about having a space like this outside.
692
00:26:26,034 --> 00:26:30,000
Coffee in the morning. Cocktail in the evening. Just relax on the deck, enjoy.
693
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,172
We've got the new doors coming off the bedroom.
694
00:26:32,172 --> 00:26:34,793
Massive deck, full extension.
695
00:26:34,793 --> 00:26:35,758
- I love it. - Yep.
696
00:26:35,758 --> 00:26:37,172
We won't get any work done,
697
00:26:37,172 --> 00:26:39,586
'cause I'm gonna sit here and gush over how much I love this deck.
698
00:26:39,586 --> 00:26:40,620
Let's keep drilling these up.
699
00:26:51,827 --> 00:26:54,517
Building a deck that lasts is always a priority,
700
00:26:54,517 --> 00:26:57,413
so we're using a composite material instead of wood.
701
00:26:57,413 --> 00:26:59,862
It's very low maintenance. No sanding. No staining.
702
00:26:59,862 --> 00:27:03,620
You pretty much just have to hose it down every once and a while.
703
00:27:03,620 --> 00:27:07,068
While Melissa is already doing a great job with these trees and the hedges,
704
00:27:07,068 --> 00:27:08,758
they're giving some shade to the structure.
705
00:27:08,758 --> 00:27:10,413
However, we're gonna go a little bit further
706
00:27:10,413 --> 00:27:12,379
and add matching pergolas for added comfort.
707
00:27:13,724 --> 00:27:16,689
Okay, so, four options. That's all we're gonna go with?
708
00:27:16,689 --> 00:27:19,206
But while we do our best to shade, we also need to add lights
709
00:27:19,206 --> 00:27:21,724
so family and friends can gather out here day or night.
710
00:27:21,724 --> 00:27:25,862
We've narrowed it down to what I think would suit the aesthetic of the yard,
711
00:27:25,862 --> 00:27:27,517
because we have a lot of white going on,
712
00:27:27,517 --> 00:27:30,379
we're blending that modern and country kind of a feel.
713
00:27:30,379 --> 00:27:31,793
I have my preferences,
714
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:34,724
but I think the ultimate decision comes from the ultimate boss.
715
00:27:34,724 --> 00:27:36,379
Kate has to say which is which.
716
00:27:36,379 --> 00:27:38,448
Give her a ring. Hopefully, she's on a break.
717
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,724
- Oh, hi. - Hi.
718
00:27:42,724 --> 00:27:44,655
- Are you filming? - I'm filming in LA.
719
00:27:44,655 --> 00:27:46,000
I wish I could be there.
720
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,689
Well, we literally just need 30 seconds of your time.
721
00:27:49,689 --> 00:27:52,137
We need a quick answer on a lighting fixture
722
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:53,655
for the back of the house, where the deck is.
723
00:27:53,655 --> 00:27:54,931
Yeah, I'm gonna flip the camera around.
724
00:27:54,931 --> 00:27:57,655
Looking if we wanna do something that's a little bit
725
00:27:57,655 --> 00:27:59,758
more classic looking to tie in.
726
00:27:59,758 --> 00:28:03,379
So this is your typical kind of a lantern style sconce.
727
00:28:03,379 --> 00:28:06,448
Or, if you wanna make something that's a little curvier,
728
00:28:06,448 --> 00:28:09,137
a little more modern, we've got this guy--
729
00:28:09,137 --> 00:28:12,620
Curvier. Curvier, more modern.
730
00:28:12,620 --> 00:28:17,448
The... This does feel, like, a little bit more industrial.
731
00:28:17,448 --> 00:28:19,689
As opposed to something that's a little more classic.
732
00:28:19,689 --> 00:28:20,724
Right.
733
00:28:20,724 --> 00:28:23,206
This is lower profile, it's a bit larger.
734
00:28:23,206 --> 00:28:25,965
But, overall, is lower profile sticking out from the house.
735
00:28:25,965 --> 00:28:29,448
It has... You can see a bit of the cage on it, which is kind of a nice detail.
736
00:28:29,448 --> 00:28:31,413
- Cool. - If you wanna make a real statement,
737
00:28:31,413 --> 00:28:35,586
- I think the bigger one makes an incredible statement. - I love it.
738
00:28:35,586 --> 00:28:40,068
We have one, two, three, and the larger one is number four.
739
00:28:40,068 --> 00:28:43,000
- Which do you wanna choose? - So four. Let's go four.
740
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,965
- Bing! - Bing, bing, bing. All right, sounds good.
741
00:28:44,965 --> 00:28:47,034
And you know what? Think it'll be beautiful. You'll love it.
742
00:28:47,034 --> 00:28:48,517
- Great. - Bye.
743
00:28:48,517 --> 00:28:49,482
Bye, guys.
744
00:28:49,482 --> 00:28:51,241
Okay. Good. Going with the big one.
745
00:28:51,241 --> 00:28:54,137
Well then, I guess, I'll get the mounting plates up and we'll be good to go.
746
00:28:54,137 --> 00:28:55,413
And I will take these back.
747
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:01,931
Coming up to your house. Are you excited?
748
00:29:01,931 --> 00:29:03,448
Yeah. Like I'm--
749
00:29:03,448 --> 00:29:06,000
- Do not open yet. - I promise, I promise.
750
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,931
Open you eyes.
751
00:29:07,931 --> 00:29:11,275
Oh, my gosh! It's so beautiful.
752
00:29:22,034 --> 00:29:23,517
With less than two weeks to go
753
00:29:23,517 --> 00:29:26,103
we're preparing for the final touches on ground cover.
754
00:29:26,103 --> 00:29:27,965
Like the bocce ball court.
755
00:29:27,965 --> 00:29:31,241
Kate told us that her family loves spending time together in this yard.
756
00:29:31,241 --> 00:29:33,275
So this is the perfect use of space
757
00:29:33,275 --> 00:29:35,862
and it also adds that south of France vibe Melissa loves.
758
00:29:35,862 --> 00:29:38,896
Different materials help define every unique corner,
759
00:29:38,896 --> 00:29:40,379
like the warmth of the river rock
760
00:29:40,379 --> 00:29:42,000
and the structure of the crushed granite.
761
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,620
Even adding a porch to the casita
762
00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:46,137
using the same durable composite boards we already used
763
00:29:46,137 --> 00:29:48,448
for the house deck, it helps tie the spaces together.
764
00:29:50,275 --> 00:29:52,275
And while we assemble the raised garden boxes
765
00:29:52,275 --> 00:29:53,896
that will house Melissa's veggies,
766
00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:59,724
it feels like my cue to do a little plant shopping.
767
00:29:59,724 --> 00:30:01,586
Hey, hey. What's happening?
768
00:30:01,586 --> 00:30:04,517
Today, I'm meeting with Jake he has this beautiful nursery.
769
00:30:04,517 --> 00:30:07,137
And he'll pull together all of the plantings that we need.
770
00:30:07,137 --> 00:30:10,206
Did Drew send you the list about exactly what Melissa wants?
771
00:30:10,206 --> 00:30:13,586
- We got it. - We're gonna have raised beds, lots of variety.
772
00:30:13,586 --> 00:30:16,758
She wants to be able to make a salad, make a stew.
773
00:30:16,758 --> 00:30:18,000
Whatever she's cooking
774
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,068
she can go to the garden and get something fresh for it.
775
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,827
So you definitely just wanna take some of this, some of that, some of that,
776
00:30:22,827 --> 00:30:24,689
skip this, some of that, some of that.
777
00:30:24,689 --> 00:30:28,206
I do recommend mixing in some color, marigolds, some flowers.
778
00:30:28,206 --> 00:30:30,758
It brings in the pollinators, it brings in the bees.
779
00:30:30,758 --> 00:30:33,068
It just helps to have some of them kinda scattered throughout.
780
00:30:33,068 --> 00:30:36,448
Okay. The one thing I'm noticing, that section right there.
781
00:30:36,448 --> 00:30:39,413
- The cilantro. - I hate cilantro.
782
00:30:39,413 --> 00:30:41,379
More for me, all right.
783
00:30:41,379 --> 00:30:43,172
You can have all the cilantro.
784
00:30:43,172 --> 00:30:45,103
But there is so much to choose from here.
785
00:30:45,103 --> 00:30:48,206
I'm thinking I'll take a lot of, like, the usual suspects,
786
00:30:48,206 --> 00:30:51,689
the tomatoes, the dill, basil.
787
00:30:51,689 --> 00:30:53,793
You can definitely give yourself a pretty good variety
788
00:30:53,793 --> 00:30:56,448
for whatever she's planning on cooking at any given night.
789
00:30:56,448 --> 00:31:01,172
It looks as even half a nice as you have showcased it here, it's gonna be incredible.
790
00:31:01,172 --> 00:31:02,862
It's gonna be great. All right, sounds good.
791
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:21,137
Today just might be my favorite day.
792
00:31:21,137 --> 00:31:22,758
With all these gorgeous plants arriving,
793
00:31:22,758 --> 00:31:24,689
it's time to put these green thumbs to work.
794
00:31:24,689 --> 00:31:26,000
Yeah, I just have normal thumbs.
795
00:31:27,103 --> 00:31:29,310
- Did you get everything on my list? - Yes.
796
00:31:29,310 --> 00:31:30,724
And this was exciting,
797
00:31:30,724 --> 00:31:33,068
because it's my childhood dream of being a flowerman come to life.
798
00:31:33,068 --> 00:31:34,965
Wait, hold on a second. I don't see the cilantro.
799
00:31:34,965 --> 00:31:37,655
- You know I hate cilantro. - This is not your garden.
800
00:31:37,655 --> 00:31:41,965
Morally I am opposed to anyone having cilantro 'cause it's the worst.
801
00:31:41,965 --> 00:31:45,482
- It is like the... - I went and got some 'cause I knew you wouldn't grab it.
802
00:31:45,482 --> 00:31:49,793
- Just put them over there. - Cilantro. Ugh!
803
00:31:49,793 --> 00:31:53,931
This is an actual working garden, she eats everything
804
00:31:53,931 --> 00:31:55,758
- in the garden, expect the flowers. - Well, that's exactly it.
805
00:31:55,758 --> 00:31:59,275
And the big thing that I love is we're gonna make this easy, easy for Melissa.
806
00:31:59,275 --> 00:32:02,551
So that everything is condensed and also companion planting.
807
00:32:02,551 --> 00:32:04,068
It's all about the companion planting,
808
00:32:04,068 --> 00:32:07,034
that's why I have Jonathan, my bro companion with me.
809
00:32:07,034 --> 00:32:08,896
You wanna have different plants that complement each other,
810
00:32:08,896 --> 00:32:11,103
in a sense that they're not competing for light, for example.
811
00:32:11,103 --> 00:32:14,103
So, like, if you have green peppers that grow nice and tall, they want the sun.
812
00:32:14,103 --> 00:32:16,965
But then you put those with something like oregano or dill which grow low.
813
00:32:16,965 --> 00:32:19,034
And also, the smell from the oregano and dill
814
00:32:19,034 --> 00:32:21,068
that also helps keep certain pests away.
815
00:32:21,068 --> 00:32:23,034
The same way that the marigolds will keep pests away
816
00:32:23,034 --> 00:32:25,655
- and you can put those with the tomato plants. - This actually makes sense.
817
00:32:25,655 --> 00:32:28,551
You know, if we're spacing things out that much more,
818
00:32:28,551 --> 00:32:30,000
we gotta get rid of this.
819
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,689
No! We are not getting rid of the cilantro. It's not your garden.
820
00:32:37,862 --> 00:32:40,517
Landscaping takes a whole lot of planning and care,
821
00:32:40,517 --> 00:32:43,827
especially when you're planting for a garden pro like Melissa.
822
00:32:43,827 --> 00:32:46,689
- This is looking really good. - It's amazing.
823
00:32:46,689 --> 00:32:50,000
So we called in a little backup from some people who know her best.
824
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,586
- Rani, this is so great you're able to help us do this. - Yeah.
825
00:32:53,586 --> 00:32:55,896
I love it when all the pretty arrives
826
00:32:55,896 --> 00:32:58,103
and that fireplace is something else.
827
00:32:58,103 --> 00:33:02,275
A new focal point that takes this gorgeous garden to a whole new level.
828
00:33:08,275 --> 00:33:11,103
Everything in this backyard is a celebration of Melissa.
829
00:33:13,862 --> 00:33:17,655
Not only will it be a peaceful place to play and paint with her grandkids,
830
00:33:17,655 --> 00:33:22,655
but also a sanctuary, a soft place to land and heal after a rough few years.
831
00:33:22,655 --> 00:33:27,551
- Me and Moo Moo as gonna plant some lettuce. - Lettuce.
832
00:33:27,551 --> 00:33:30,206
- And parsley. - Parsley.
833
00:33:30,206 --> 00:33:32,413
I like your song.
834
00:33:32,413 --> 00:33:33,586
This is amazing.
835
00:33:44,172 --> 00:33:47,482
- Comfiest coffee table of all time. - Cute.
836
00:33:47,482 --> 00:33:50,413
Kate has not only jumped in when we needed demolition,
837
00:33:50,413 --> 00:33:52,482
when we needed design direction,
838
00:33:52,482 --> 00:33:55,482
but she's now also in here with all the finishing touches.
839
00:33:55,482 --> 00:33:58,827
And this is the fun part, because you really see everything come together.
840
00:33:58,827 --> 00:34:03,862
Just giving her this space off of her bedroom is gonna be transformative.
841
00:34:03,862 --> 00:34:06,137
I know, she's gonna be able to open her doors and just,
842
00:34:06,137 --> 00:34:08,965
like, sit out here and have her coffee. I mean, what a dream.
843
00:34:14,482 --> 00:34:17,827
- Looking good. - Whoo! Yes, yes, yes!
844
00:34:23,517 --> 00:34:24,862
So cute.
845
00:34:24,862 --> 00:34:27,206
I love that you put these things together, you guys.
846
00:34:27,206 --> 00:34:29,862
I know that this is a big place for Melissa to connect with family.
847
00:34:29,862 --> 00:34:32,344
I know Rani's been in here for art work.
848
00:34:32,344 --> 00:34:35,000
I can't believe how great this turned out.
849
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,379
- Now we're ready. - Guys, I can't believe it.
850
00:34:38,379 --> 00:34:40,586
- She's still living at your place, right? - She's at our place.
851
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:41,724
So, what's the plan?
852
00:34:41,724 --> 00:34:44,551
- The plan is I'll take her here tomorrow. - Okay.
853
00:34:44,551 --> 00:34:46,551
I mean, Melissa's not gonna recognize her house.
854
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:50,103
This backyard is completely transformed and this is her oasis.
855
00:34:50,103 --> 00:34:52,034
She spends all of her time back here.
856
00:34:52,034 --> 00:34:54,172
Well, imagine what she's gonna be doing back here now.
857
00:35:07,724 --> 00:35:10,724
How is this? Six weeks you haven't been in the house.
858
00:35:10,724 --> 00:35:13,448
No. And I've held my breath for so long.
859
00:35:13,448 --> 00:35:15,068
What'd you think it's gonna be?
860
00:35:15,068 --> 00:35:18,068
I'm just excited for, like, the surprise part.
861
00:35:18,068 --> 00:35:20,103
I'm just excited for the change.
862
00:35:20,103 --> 00:35:22,379
But the garden is my place, you know.
863
00:35:22,379 --> 00:35:25,379
- I mean, this is making my world. - I know.
864
00:35:25,379 --> 00:35:29,103
I hope it has a little flair that says "Kate" all over it, so.
865
00:35:29,103 --> 00:35:30,275
Well, you're gonna see.
866
00:35:30,275 --> 00:35:31,586
We're coming up to the house.
867
00:35:31,586 --> 00:35:33,241
- Are you excited? - I'm beyond.
868
00:35:33,241 --> 00:35:34,551
Like I'm--
869
00:35:34,551 --> 00:35:36,344
- We're here. - Welcome home.
870
00:35:36,344 --> 00:35:39,620
- Hello. Oh, my gosh. - Hello!
871
00:35:39,620 --> 00:35:42,000
Oh, my God! This is real. Today's here.
872
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,862
Have you ever been to the south of France?
873
00:35:43,862 --> 00:35:45,931
It's my place, it's my heart.
874
00:35:45,931 --> 00:35:47,689
- Well, we brought it to you. - No way!
875
00:35:47,689 --> 00:35:49,896
- Come on. - You go first.
876
00:35:49,896 --> 00:35:51,517
It's all good. It's all gonna be good.
877
00:35:51,517 --> 00:35:53,965
- Do not open your eyes. - I promise, I promise.
878
00:35:53,965 --> 00:35:57,034
- All right, stay there, stay there. - Okay, okay.
879
00:35:57,034 --> 00:35:58,344
- Ready? - Yeah.
880
00:35:58,344 --> 00:35:59,620
Open your eyes.
881
00:36:00,413 --> 00:36:03,827
Oh, lordy! Oh, my gosh!
882
00:36:03,827 --> 00:36:06,689
Oh, my gosh it's so beautiful.
883
00:36:06,689 --> 00:36:10,758
It is the south of France!
884
00:36:14,862 --> 00:36:17,068
- Make sure your eyes are closed Moo Moo. - All right.
885
00:36:17,689 --> 00:36:19,034
- Okay, ready? - Yeah.
886
00:36:19,034 --> 00:36:20,689
Open your eyes.
887
00:36:21,586 --> 00:36:24,689
Oh, lordy! Oh, my gosh!
888
00:36:24,689 --> 00:36:27,482
Oh, my gosh it's so beautiful.
889
00:36:27,482 --> 00:36:29,827
I love it. It is the south of France!
890
00:36:38,793 --> 00:36:42,034
Look everywhere.
891
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:45,206
Oh, my, this is crazy!
892
00:36:45,206 --> 00:36:48,137
- What'd you think? - I love it, it's so pretty.
893
00:36:48,137 --> 00:36:50,482
- Do you love it? - It's so pretty.
894
00:36:52,137 --> 00:36:54,310
I could tell immediately that you loved it. I was like--
895
00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:56,551
I opened my eyes it was like, "Holy moly."
896
00:36:56,551 --> 00:36:58,551
Like, I love it.
897
00:36:58,551 --> 00:37:00,482
- Outdoor kitchen. - Holy Toledo.
898
00:37:00,482 --> 00:37:01,931
- Oh, my God. - Look.
899
00:37:01,931 --> 00:37:05,793
- Nice - I mean, this is crazy.
900
00:37:05,793 --> 00:37:07,448
This is beautiful.
901
00:37:07,448 --> 00:37:10,965
This will get a lot of use. They so nailed my design style.
902
00:37:10,965 --> 00:37:13,000
You know, the brightness of the table,
903
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,068
and the pergolas, and the railings, it's all so light,
904
00:37:16,068 --> 00:37:18,206
and so easy, and unintentional.
905
00:37:18,206 --> 00:37:20,103
All the love that we put into this yard
906
00:37:20,103 --> 00:37:22,413
has come from this beautiful human here.
907
00:37:22,413 --> 00:37:26,310
I feel so honored, I mean, this was a lifetime thing.
908
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:28,482
- Yeah. - You made my life.
909
00:37:30,241 --> 00:37:31,413
You know what this means to me?
910
00:37:31,413 --> 00:37:33,965
This means to me we're kinda cemented.
911
00:37:33,965 --> 00:37:37,655
You know? We're dug in the garden together.
912
00:37:37,655 --> 00:37:40,413
- True. - This is it. We're together forever.
913
00:37:40,413 --> 00:37:44,827
Oh, my gosh. It's so open.
914
00:37:44,827 --> 00:37:45,965
And it's so interesting isn't it?
915
00:37:45,965 --> 00:37:49,137
- Like, that all this space was here. - Yeah.
916
00:37:49,137 --> 00:37:52,275
- It was here all along. - Yeah, it needed to be discovered.
917
00:37:52,275 --> 00:37:56,655
Oh, my gosh. Look, this see-through look is so amazing.
918
00:37:56,655 --> 00:37:57,758
Yeah, when you have a garden like this
919
00:37:57,758 --> 00:37:59,379
you don't want to have it obstructed.
920
00:37:59,379 --> 00:38:03,689
This is amazing. Holy moly.
921
00:38:03,689 --> 00:38:05,551
The full width of your house.
922
00:38:05,551 --> 00:38:09,172
- Right off the bedroom. - Yeah, that is a dream come true. Oh, I love it.
923
00:38:09,172 --> 00:38:11,931
Oh, my gosh. This is crazy.
924
00:38:11,931 --> 00:38:13,206
I've always wanted to do this.
925
00:38:13,206 --> 00:38:15,344
We've got the new doors coming off the bedroom.
926
00:38:15,344 --> 00:38:17,034
That's more than I've ever dreamt of,
927
00:38:17,034 --> 00:38:19,517
that's what I wanted all along, you know.
928
00:38:19,517 --> 00:38:22,620
I can visualize you with those doors open
929
00:38:22,620 --> 00:38:25,068
in the morning having your coffee.
930
00:38:25,068 --> 00:38:28,172
- It's like... - Yeah, I know. This is too gorg.
931
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:31,620
This is crazy. Look it. Guys.
932
00:38:32,724 --> 00:38:36,379
Oh, my gosh it's gorgeous. This is my spot.
933
00:38:36,379 --> 00:38:39,931
- I didn't even realize the view from here. - Yeah, yeah.
934
00:38:39,931 --> 00:38:42,103
I'm jealous.
935
00:38:42,103 --> 00:38:45,310
Before, you had your electrical panel main stack
936
00:38:45,310 --> 00:38:46,724
coming up in front of this window.
937
00:38:46,724 --> 00:38:49,103
Was the craziest, ugliest thing ever.
938
00:38:49,103 --> 00:38:51,896
Oh! Thank you, thank you for moving that panel.
939
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:54,172
- I didn't even, like, remember that part. - That's a big deal.
940
00:38:54,172 --> 00:38:56,310
If you look to the left there, we used ties
941
00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:58,000
to pull the level of the yard up.
942
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,551
Oh, boy, that's great and so strong.
943
00:39:00,551 --> 00:39:03,103
Everything we just wanted to be safe, but also beautiful.
944
00:39:03,103 --> 00:39:08,379
I love being able to get to the garden comfortably and safely.
945
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:12,965
This is amazing. And look at these cool steps, I love the stone.
946
00:39:12,965 --> 00:39:17,344
Unbelievable. Oh, the fireplace. Oh, my gosh.
947
00:39:17,344 --> 00:39:20,896
This will be the ultimate outdoor evening space.
948
00:39:20,896 --> 00:39:22,862
Yep, it's like it's the focal point.
949
00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:25,379
This is like, "Come people, gather."
950
00:39:25,379 --> 00:39:28,931
Like, this is amazing. Oh, my gosh, I love it all.
951
00:39:28,931 --> 00:39:30,758
- It was a beautiful yard. - Yeah.
952
00:39:30,758 --> 00:39:35,344
But now that we've done some substantial levelling, kept you the grass area
953
00:39:35,344 --> 00:39:37,724
- so the kids can play and frolic. - Thank you, yeah.
954
00:39:37,724 --> 00:39:40,551
- I mean, the whole goal is to gather family. - Exactly.
955
00:39:40,551 --> 00:39:44,172
We're able to keep a lot of your citrus and your plants that were here.
956
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:47,241
I was noticing, they kinda showoff now.
957
00:39:47,241 --> 00:39:50,068
You know, they were lost before and it's like beautiful.
958
00:39:50,068 --> 00:39:53,551
There's so many parts to the yard now that are distinct.
959
00:39:53,551 --> 00:39:55,379
- Oh, my goodness. - You go first.
960
00:39:55,379 --> 00:39:56,724
Oh, my gosh.
961
00:39:56,724 --> 00:39:59,862
The lavender and all the cute stools and baskets,
962
00:39:59,862 --> 00:40:02,034
south of France. Oh, my goodness.
963
00:40:02,034 --> 00:40:05,103
- This isn't even the same room. - Can you believe this?
964
00:40:05,103 --> 00:40:07,206
- Pop in. - Now it's a room.
965
00:40:07,206 --> 00:40:08,517
Isn't this crazy?
966
00:40:08,517 --> 00:40:11,034
It's so nice. It's so solid.
967
00:40:11,034 --> 00:40:13,724
- It's cute now. - Yeah, it's really adorable.
968
00:40:13,724 --> 00:40:15,896
It's still cabiny, you know what I mean?
969
00:40:15,896 --> 00:40:20,551
It's still... It's cleaned up and still feels like a special little cabin.
970
00:40:20,551 --> 00:40:25,724
The studio's amazing and I can see myself painting in there all the time.
971
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:28,551
Luxury vinyl. It looks like hardwood but it's actually vinyl.
972
00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:31,551
So you don't have to worry about spilling on it, having art supplies fall.
973
00:40:31,551 --> 00:40:32,896
That's so great.
974
00:40:32,896 --> 00:40:35,034
With my grandkids we can paint,
975
00:40:35,034 --> 00:40:37,931
and we can drop chalk, it's really special.
976
00:40:37,931 --> 00:40:39,862
Oh, my gosh. This is crazy.
977
00:40:39,862 --> 00:40:41,896
Do you love it?
978
00:40:41,896 --> 00:40:43,620
Oh, my gosh. I love it.
979
00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:46,551
Toolboxes at the end are so cool!
980
00:40:46,551 --> 00:40:49,931
Even these pavers, we shaped them, formed them, poured them all right here.
981
00:40:49,931 --> 00:40:52,689
- That's what it's supposed to look like, rings of trees. - They do.
982
00:40:52,689 --> 00:40:54,551
Look at this. Oh, these beds.
983
00:40:54,551 --> 00:40:57,896
And I love raised beds 'cause you don't have to stoop so much.
984
00:40:57,896 --> 00:41:01,310
- Of course, of course. - Look at it, unbelievable.
985
00:41:01,310 --> 00:41:03,620
- Look at all the lettuces. - Mmm-hmm.
986
00:41:03,620 --> 00:41:05,344
Oh! We got tomatoes going.
987
00:41:05,344 --> 00:41:10,931
This yard is going to make the life that I want to lead possible.
988
00:41:10,931 --> 00:41:13,827
You have a bocce court.
989
00:41:13,827 --> 00:41:15,758
How amazing is this?
990
00:41:15,758 --> 00:41:17,655
- That is hilarious. - Look at the bocce, guys.
991
00:41:17,655 --> 00:41:21,517
I've always, I swear, always wanted a boules court.
992
00:41:21,517 --> 00:41:24,241
- 'Cause we're in the south of France, boules. - Boules.
993
00:41:24,241 --> 00:41:27,724
Look at this vantage point of your beautiful new yard.
994
00:41:27,724 --> 00:41:30,482
I'm really overwhelmed.
995
00:41:30,482 --> 00:41:33,448
Can you just picture this whole yard filled with people?
996
00:41:33,448 --> 00:41:34,965
Some people are in the art studio,
997
00:41:34,965 --> 00:41:37,689
some people are sitting at the outdoor kitchen/dining area.
998
00:41:37,689 --> 00:41:39,655
Everywhere you go there's purpose.
999
00:41:39,655 --> 00:41:42,137
And this is exactly what Melissa wanted.
1000
00:41:42,137 --> 00:41:45,827
You know, someone said that, "True love is just being known well."
1001
00:41:45,827 --> 00:41:47,586
And I feel like you guys know me,
1002
00:41:47,586 --> 00:41:49,482
and you honor me, and you care about me.
1003
00:41:49,482 --> 00:41:53,793
And it's, like, that's as big a gift as this gorgeousness, you know.
1004
00:41:53,793 --> 00:41:57,068
- I love you so much. - I love you.
1005
00:41:57,068 --> 00:41:58,827
Hey, family. Come on in.
1006
00:42:02,103 --> 00:42:04,000
- Wow. - Can you believe it?
1007
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,344
This is crazy, the backyard is so big.
1008
00:42:06,344 --> 00:42:08,068
- Yeah. - Isn't it wild?
1009
00:42:08,068 --> 00:42:10,137
When her boys came, Danny and Michael...
1010
00:42:10,137 --> 00:42:11,551
- Oh, are you crying. - Little bit.
1011
00:42:11,551 --> 00:42:13,379
Don't cry mama, don't cry.
1012
00:42:14,206 --> 00:42:15,689
...they were blown away.
1013
00:42:15,689 --> 00:42:17,827
- Hello, Mom. - I know.
1014
00:42:17,827 --> 00:42:18,827
Come check it out.
1015
00:42:18,827 --> 00:42:22,206
Look at Moo Moo's special art space.
1016
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:24,068
Maybe I'm gonna overshare here,
1017
00:42:24,068 --> 00:42:28,551
but you've sacrificed your life for your children
1018
00:42:28,551 --> 00:42:30,344
and then other people's children.
1019
00:42:30,344 --> 00:42:31,551
I love you that much.
1020
00:42:32,758 --> 00:42:35,206
You've busted your ass to work really hard.
1021
00:42:35,206 --> 00:42:39,793
So it really was all of us wanting to do something for you,
1022
00:42:39,793 --> 00:42:41,344
because you've been so selfless.
1023
00:42:41,344 --> 00:42:43,551
Mom, should we play some bocce?
1024
00:42:43,551 --> 00:42:44,862
Race ya to the bocce court.
1025
00:42:44,862 --> 00:42:46,413
Go, go, go.
1026
00:42:46,413 --> 00:42:49,344
- I love my mom, okay. I really love my mom. - I love her.
1027
00:42:49,344 --> 00:42:51,724
- Oh! - Whoa!
1028
00:42:51,724 --> 00:42:54,517
Between you and my mom I've, like, won the jackpot.
1029
00:42:54,517 --> 00:42:57,137
Good job.
1030
00:42:57,137 --> 00:42:59,000
- You're covered. - I'm covered.
1031
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,172
Go.
1032
00:43:07,344 --> 00:43:09,379
Oh, my gosh. So good.
1032
00:43:10,305 --> 00:44:10,209
