1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,200
From big screen spoofs like Scary Movie
2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,300
to ensemble comedies like Girls Trip,
3
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:07,867
Regina Hall's comedy chops are second to none.
4
00:00:07,867 --> 00:00:09,367
Regina.
5
00:00:09,367 --> 00:00:11,100
But when she's not being a bright spot in others' lives...
6
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:12,100
You have by that window.
7
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:13,300
She's celebrating those
8
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:14,867
who have been a beacon of light in hers.
9
00:00:14,867 --> 00:00:16,100
-Hi.
10
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,467
Vonda, one of the closest people
11
00:00:18,467 --> 00:00:21,066
in Regina's life, has not only been a pillar of support
12
00:00:21,066 --> 00:00:23,200
for her for the past 15 years...
13
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,767
Regina has shown me what love and loyalty is.
14
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:31,567
But to Regina, Vonda personifies heroism
15
00:00:31,567 --> 00:00:33,467
as a single mom to her two children.
16
00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:35,567
She had sickle so we did a bone marrow transplant.
17
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:37,700
She shaved her head, I shaved mine.
18
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:39,800
We still have some challenging times.
19
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,100
Vonda has prioritized her children all her life.
20
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:45,000
Vonda loves to cook and entertain.
21
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,100
We're gonna make sure everything's done right.
22
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:47,467
And now Regina wants to do something
23
00:00:47,467 --> 00:00:49,266
incredibly special for her.
24
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,767
To give her bestie the kitchen space she's always dreamed of...
25
00:00:52,767 --> 00:00:53,667
Bottom first.
26
00:00:53,667 --> 00:00:55,000
And a whole lot more.
27
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,767
The HVAC was so dirty.
28
00:00:56,767 --> 00:00:59,266
Vonda was afraid it was gonna make Sabah sick.
29
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:00,400
Keep them closed.
30
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,100
A gift that will truly change Vonda...
31
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,867
And her family's lives...
32
00:01:04,867 --> 00:01:06,300
- Wow. - Forever.
33
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:07,967
And I love you for doing this.
34
00:01:07,967 --> 00:01:09,100
I love you.
35
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,074
36
00:01:21,467 --> 00:01:25,200
Is there something your fans always scream at you?
37
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,467
They love to say things from Scary Movie.
38
00:01:27,467 --> 00:01:28,967
They love like, "Out of my face."
39
00:01:28,967 --> 00:01:29,867
-Get out of face.
40
00:01:29,867 --> 00:01:31,400
-Get out of my face. -Out of my face.
41
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,367
How about, can we join your Flossy Posse?
42
00:01:33,367 --> 00:01:34,767
-That's what I want to know. -Oh, yeah,
43
00:01:34,767 --> 00:01:36,367
-the Flossy Posse. - I mean... Come on.
44
00:01:36,367 --> 00:01:37,667
Do you wanna join the Flossy Posse?
45
00:01:37,667 --> 00:01:39,300
Or we should create one.
46
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,700
Is there a... Is there a renovation inspired...
47
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:43,300
-Oh! -one?
48
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:44,400
-What could we be? -Oh.
49
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,967
-Like the-- -Can we be Demo Divas?
50
00:01:46,967 --> 00:01:48,567
-Ah!
51
00:01:48,567 --> 00:01:50,100
-Amazing. Demo Divas. -I love divas.
52
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,300
We're driving with the one and only Regina Hall,
53
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,700
who is not only incredibly talented
54
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:56,967
and so funny, but also has a heart of gold.
55
00:01:56,967 --> 00:01:59,000
Well, you're gonna have a lot of fun renovating
56
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,567
-this place for Vonda. -I know.
57
00:02:00,567 --> 00:02:01,967
It's gonna be an absolute blast.
58
00:02:01,967 --> 00:02:04,867
Vonda met Regina on the set of Real Husbands of Hollywood
59
00:02:04,867 --> 00:02:06,867
and it was a relationship and a bond
60
00:02:06,867 --> 00:02:08,867
that has just grown stronger ever since.
61
00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:10,000
Vonda is a single mom.
62
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,800
And she has two amazing kids, Sabah and Onaje,
63
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,166
and they are the world to her.
64
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:16,300
-Sabah has sickle cell. -Mmm-hmm.
65
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:20,867
Um, and Vonda is a really big advocate for, you know,
66
00:02:20,867 --> 00:02:24,500
finding a cure and sickle cell awareness.
67
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,467
I think that's what's so beautiful about Vonda.
68
00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:29,166
It really is.
69
00:02:29,166 --> 00:02:30,200
That is her nature.
70
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,767
She is a giver, you know?
71
00:02:31,767 --> 00:02:32,700
-And yes... - Mmm-hmm.
72
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:34,000
she's going to give to her children
73
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,100
because that's who she is.
74
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,166
But she also gives to everyone...
75
00:02:37,166 --> 00:02:39,066
-Yeah. -whose life she touches.
76
00:02:39,066 --> 00:02:41,266
Regina says Vonda's been there for her
77
00:02:41,266 --> 00:02:43,967
through the good and the bad for 15 years.
78
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:46,000
And now she wants to do something for Vonda.
79
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,867
Do you know has Vonda been wanting to do
80
00:02:47,867 --> 00:02:49,467
some of these changes to the house?
81
00:02:49,467 --> 00:02:50,667
-Has she talked about it? -Oh, yeah.
82
00:02:50,667 --> 00:02:53,100
-Vonda loves to cook. - Mmm-hmm.
83
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:57,233
And entertain and her kitchen, I think,
84
00:02:57,967 --> 00:02:59,033
could use some updating.
85
00:02:59,033 --> 00:03:01,767
I've heard her talk before saying what she wanted to do
86
00:03:01,767 --> 00:03:03,467
and I don't think she's ever had the time.
87
00:03:03,467 --> 00:03:05,367
And I think just financially,
88
00:03:05,367 --> 00:03:07,166
you know, her son was in college.
89
00:03:07,166 --> 00:03:09,266
Obviously, with her daughter,
90
00:03:09,266 --> 00:03:11,467
-a lot of medical expenses. -Mmm-hmm.
91
00:03:11,467 --> 00:03:14,967
I think she had to prioritize their needs
92
00:03:14,967 --> 00:03:16,433
-before, you know the kitchen. - Right.
93
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:24,567
- Okay. - All right. So what's the plan?
94
00:03:24,567 --> 00:03:25,767
All right, so I'm gonna
95
00:03:25,767 --> 00:03:28,400
go knock and you guys...
96
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,166
-You have by that window. -Okay.
97
00:03:32,066 --> 00:03:33,100
Is she home?
98
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:34,367
I think so.
99
00:03:40,967 --> 00:03:43,800
-Hello, beautiful. - Hi.
100
00:03:45,266 --> 00:03:47,066
So, hi.
101
00:03:47,066 --> 00:03:48,367
- Hi. - You look pretty.
102
00:03:48,367 --> 00:03:50,600
You look pretty. What you doing here?
103
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,400
I wanna do something special for you
104
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,100
'cause you do special stuff for people all the time.
105
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:57,600
And I know you've been trying to get your
106
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,100
house together, your kitchen.
107
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:02,166
I'm gonna do that.
108
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:04,767
But I brought some friends who are gonna help.
109
00:04:04,767 --> 00:04:05,867
-Yeah. -And they're pretty great.
110
00:04:05,867 --> 00:04:07,000
- Hi. What's happening there?
111
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,200
-And they're over there. - How are you?
112
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:12,967
-How are you? Nice to meet you. -Okay.
113
00:04:12,967 --> 00:04:15,667
I'm sorry. I'm bigger fans of theirs.
114
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:17,166
-How are you?
115
00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:19,200
-I'm so good. -I understand. I am too.
116
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,066
Okay.
117
00:04:22,066 --> 00:04:24,867
Wait.
118
00:04:24,867 --> 00:04:28,100
-I love you guys. -Well, we love you
119
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,767
and everything Regina's been saying
120
00:04:29,767 --> 00:04:31,467
is that you are the most wonderful person
121
00:04:31,467 --> 00:04:34,166
in the world with two beautiful kids
122
00:04:34,166 --> 00:04:36,200
that you do everything for.
123
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,500
And it's time that somebody does a little something for you.
124
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:42,367
It's kinda hard to receive like this.
125
00:04:42,367 --> 00:04:45,066
But out of everybody,
126
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,100
this girl right here,
127
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,100
I can't believe that she chose me.
128
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:55,166
So Vonda and I met on Real Husbands of Hollywood.
129
00:04:55,166 --> 00:04:56,767
I think she was the head of the makeup department
130
00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:57,967
at that time on the show.
131
00:04:57,967 --> 00:04:59,800
And then from there
132
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,266
we just stayed in each other's lives
133
00:05:01,266 --> 00:05:02,667
whether we work together or not.
134
00:05:02,667 --> 00:05:05,000
I have other clients. She got jobs.
135
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,166
We could be in different places,
136
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:07,266
but if we don't hear from each other,
137
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:09,200
I gotta call and see what's going on with her.
138
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,667
And I think it is special when you know someone well
139
00:05:11,667 --> 00:05:13,467
and things are going on in your life
140
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,467
that you can talk to someone
141
00:05:15,467 --> 00:05:17,367
and you know that it's gonna be private.
142
00:05:17,367 --> 00:05:19,166
I think I have that with Vonda.
143
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:20,367
Vonda has that with me.
144
00:05:20,367 --> 00:05:23,266
Regina has shown me
145
00:05:23,266 --> 00:05:26,800
what love and loyalty is.
146
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,567
We talk about relationships, things that
147
00:05:29,567 --> 00:05:31,900
you don't really feel comfortable telling someone.
148
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:34,867
That's when you develop a good relationship.
149
00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:37,367
When you know that you can tell someone
150
00:05:37,367 --> 00:05:40,100
and talk to someone in your weakest moments.
151
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:42,166
She reminded me of a lot of women
152
00:05:42,166 --> 00:05:45,367
in my family, very strong, very hardworking.
153
00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:47,200
That was before I kind of knew what she was
154
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,166
also balancing in her personal life.
155
00:05:49,166 --> 00:05:52,000
You know, being in a house and trying to maintain,
156
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,500
and I'm a single mom, and working,
157
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,867
and just trying to keep it all together.
158
00:05:57,867 --> 00:06:00,066
We was talking... I was like, I gotta get my house together
159
00:06:00,066 --> 00:06:02,467
because every time I come home with something
160
00:06:02,467 --> 00:06:05,166
and then my daughter who has, um...
161
00:06:05,166 --> 00:06:06,166
She had sickle cell.
162
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:07,700
We did a bone marrow transplant.
163
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:08,867
I know a mother will always do
164
00:06:08,867 --> 00:06:10,667
anything they can for their children.
165
00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:12,800
But talk about stepping up to the plate.
166
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,266
When Sabah needed bone marrow,
167
00:06:15,266 --> 00:06:17,400
Vonda was the first in line to say, "I will donate."
168
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,767
Being able to get through the bone marrow transplant,
169
00:06:21,767 --> 00:06:24,667
I mean, my daughter went through that.
170
00:06:24,667 --> 00:06:26,200
We did it as a family.
171
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,300
She shaved her head. I shaved mine.
172
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,900
My son shaved his.
173
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,567
And I can say that with the sickle cell,
174
00:06:32,567 --> 00:06:34,500
the bone marrow, it was a success.
175
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,500
And she's sickle cell free.
176
00:06:38,467 --> 00:06:40,600
But her immune system is still low
177
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,867
and we're still trying to build that, you know.
178
00:06:43,867 --> 00:06:45,767
So we still have some good days
179
00:06:45,767 --> 00:06:48,266
and some challenging times.
180
00:06:48,266 --> 00:06:51,567
My son wanted to be her match
181
00:06:51,567 --> 00:06:54,266
and he got tested and the numbers was off,
182
00:06:54,266 --> 00:06:56,567
but he did put himself in the registry.
183
00:06:56,567 --> 00:06:58,467
He was like, "If I couldn't help my sister,
184
00:06:58,467 --> 00:06:59,667
I'm gonna help someone."
185
00:06:59,667 --> 00:07:02,166
And he flew to Texas
186
00:07:02,166 --> 00:07:04,800
and he saved a 57-year-old woman's life
187
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,867
with a bone marrow transplant.
188
00:07:06,867 --> 00:07:09,000
And I've watched Vonda fly back and forth
189
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,467
taking care of her daughter,
190
00:07:10,467 --> 00:07:12,700
taking care of her son on her own.
191
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,667
Vonda doesn't ask for anything.
192
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:16,700
-Yeah. -I can't.
193
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,166
-I love you so much. -I love you too.
194
00:07:19,166 --> 00:07:21,066
-Appreciated you so much. -Mmm-hmm.
195
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:24,100
I'd like to point out you have the incredible opportunity
196
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,967
of having your house fixed up by the Demo Divas.
197
00:07:26,967 --> 00:07:28,166
-Yeah. -Oh, yeah.
198
00:07:28,166 --> 00:07:29,100
Yeah, that's our squad's name.
199
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,667
That's the three of us, the Demo Divas.
200
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:31,867
-Oh, you demo?
201
00:07:31,867 --> 00:07:33,567
-You got to be-- -Oh, she's gonna be in there.
202
00:07:33,567 --> 00:07:34,867
She's not just telling us what to do.
203
00:07:34,867 --> 00:07:36,200
She's gonna get hands on
204
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,166
-with this project. -Mmm-hmm.
205
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,367
-What are you laughing at? -I don't know.
206
00:07:40,367 --> 00:07:41,667
But I don't know how to feel about that laugh.
207
00:07:44,467 --> 00:07:46,333
Um, ouch.
208
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,200
-Oh, okay. -All right.
209
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,767
But before this derails completely,
210
00:07:50,767 --> 00:07:51,700
can you show us the kitchen?
211
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,000
I... We want to take a look inside.
212
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,667
I think if Regina had called me and told me
213
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:57,700
that she was gonna give me something,
214
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:00,166
I would've said, "You don't have to do that."
215
00:08:00,166 --> 00:08:02,066
But for her to show up
216
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:04,967
and then have the Property Brothers
217
00:08:04,967 --> 00:08:08,300
with her is like, "Do what you want."
218
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,900
I did what I could
219
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:12,967
to kind of restore it
220
00:08:12,967 --> 00:08:14,900
but it's all makeshift.
221
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:17,867
My appliances is as old as my son.
222
00:08:17,867 --> 00:08:19,867
-And he's graduating from college. -Did you spray paint this?
223
00:08:19,867 --> 00:08:21,567
-They look like they've been painted. -They've been painted.
224
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:22,500
They... Okay.
225
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,000
So I'm an artist so I was like,
226
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,567
"If I can't do it,
227
00:08:25,567 --> 00:08:26,900
I'm gonna try and create it."
228
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:28,467
I assume when you first did it...
229
00:08:28,467 --> 00:08:30,000
-Uh-huh, it was beautiful. - it looked great.
230
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,800
-As for me, it was. - Yeah.
231
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,500
-And then it started to fade. - Yeah.
232
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:35,166
So I got this, I had to replace it
233
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:36,667
and I didn't have it a week.
234
00:08:36,667 --> 00:08:38,867
And I've been dealing with this. See?
235
00:08:38,867 --> 00:08:40,600
You know why this probably did this.
236
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,100
It melted from the heat of the range.
237
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:45,367
I mean this is a kitchen that's not even set up safely.
238
00:08:45,367 --> 00:08:47,200
You have the microwave is sitting too close
239
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,266
to the range below it.
240
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:49,667
The handle is broken
241
00:08:49,667 --> 00:08:52,700
and the microwave looks like it's melting.
242
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:56,100
I don't know why the original builder
243
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,900
would've closed this wall off here
244
00:08:57,900 --> 00:08:59,600
because now when you're in here,
245
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,467
you feel like you can't be
246
00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:03,166
a part of the entertaining.
247
00:09:03,166 --> 00:09:05,166
You know, I bought it from the original owner
248
00:09:05,166 --> 00:09:06,300
and I felt like that.
249
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:09,300
But I only did this opened.
250
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,000
-Oh, you opened this up? -I opened this up,
251
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,567
but this was like almost 20 years ago.
252
00:09:13,567 --> 00:09:15,867
When you're in your house and you're entertaining,
253
00:09:15,867 --> 00:09:18,100
you kinda wanna see everything that's going on.
254
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:21,266
What would you like to see for cabinets, counter, colors?
255
00:09:21,266 --> 00:09:22,900
- Um... - How much copper is
256
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,867
-too much copper? - Can you tell?
257
00:09:24,867 --> 00:09:26,667
It's never too much.
258
00:09:26,667 --> 00:09:28,100
You got a lot of copper going.
259
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:29,266
Hold on a second. Let me just check.
260
00:09:29,266 --> 00:09:31,000
-Oh, there's copper.
261
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,500
It was clear from the moment Vonda answered the door
262
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:35,300
that these two love to laugh together.
263
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:37,467
Yeah. But they also love to lean on each other
264
00:09:37,467 --> 00:09:38,467
when things get tough.
265
00:09:38,467 --> 00:09:40,200
People are there for you
266
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,400
in big highs, right,
267
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,467
and then also in difficult periods.
268
00:09:44,467 --> 00:09:47,000
I mean, Vonda's been with me through the loss of my dog,
269
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000
the loss of my mom, um, breakups.
270
00:09:51,667 --> 00:09:53,500
Imagine having a fresh start at home.
271
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,166
I'm excited for the whole family to have a new beginning
272
00:09:56,166 --> 00:09:57,667
and especially Vonda.
273
00:09:57,667 --> 00:09:59,767
And the kitchen was one thing,
274
00:09:59,767 --> 00:10:02,000
but the real thing for me with this house
275
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,567
was the air system.
276
00:10:03,567 --> 00:10:04,867
For me,
277
00:10:04,867 --> 00:10:06,867
that's the thing that
278
00:10:06,867 --> 00:10:08,000
kept me up at night.
279
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Vonda tells us her HVAC system is about 30 years old
280
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,467
and it needs to be replaced.
281
00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:14,266
With Sabah's compromised immune system,
282
00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:15,767
any mold or bacteria
283
00:10:15,767 --> 00:10:17,867
trapped in the HVAC system could make her really sick.
284
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:19,000
Any last requests?
285
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,867
I would love to have more storage space.
286
00:10:20,867 --> 00:10:22,300
We're gonna make sure everything's done right.
287
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:23,600
Vonda, now it's time for you
288
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,500
to get out.
289
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:26,800
And we are gonna stay and talk.
290
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,166
I'll meet you later for lunch,
291
00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:29,333
but we're gonna just figure out
292
00:10:29,967 --> 00:10:31,367
what to do with this kitchen.
293
00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:32,867
Regina, thank you so much.
294
00:10:32,867 --> 00:10:34,100
I love you so much.
295
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,867
-I love you too. -Thank you.
296
00:10:35,867 --> 00:10:38,500
For Regina to love me enough
297
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:42,500
to want to grant me
298
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,634
such a wonderful gift means...
299
00:10:50,266 --> 00:10:51,467
It means a lot.
300
00:10:51,467 --> 00:10:53,166
It comes at a time
301
00:10:53,166 --> 00:10:55,166
when sometimes you need
302
00:10:55,166 --> 00:10:57,500
to feel like you're valued.
303
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:58,600
-Bye. -Bye.
304
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,767
Bye.
305
00:10:59,767 --> 00:11:01,567
She gives to everyone else constantly.
306
00:11:01,567 --> 00:11:04,000
She's always sacrificing so much
307
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,433
that she never fully takes care of Vonda.
308
00:11:08,567 --> 00:11:10,567
Because the whole family congregates in the kitchen,
309
00:11:10,567 --> 00:11:12,200
living room, and dining room, those are the areas
310
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,567
that Regina wants to focus on.
311
00:11:13,567 --> 00:11:15,367
But I think we have to make the whole thing look nice
312
00:11:15,367 --> 00:11:17,000
'cause you can't have it open
313
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,867
and then have this look amazing
314
00:11:19,867 --> 00:11:21,567
and then that doesn't look amazing,
315
00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:23,367
which is actually exciting
316
00:11:23,367 --> 00:11:25,100
'cause it means we could do more.
317
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,000
This living room, it's so closed off.
318
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,166
It feels dark.
319
00:11:28,166 --> 00:11:30,800
You don't have any sight lines, mirrors galore.
320
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,700
There's definitely a lot we can do as far as seating,
321
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,000
making things feel more comfortable.
322
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,800
Getting rid of that mirror wall...
323
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
-Yes. -will go a long way aesthetically.
324
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,767
I'd like to find something to do
325
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:43,600
with the fireplace that's more interesting.
326
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,000
-Oh, yeah. - We...
327
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,900
Like we can demo all that bulkiness out of it.
328
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:49,066
Vonda has a pride of ownership and she really does
329
00:11:49,066 --> 00:11:51,367
try to make this the best place possible for her kids.
330
00:11:51,367 --> 00:11:53,300
But she is a busy working mom.
331
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:54,867
I think it's our chance to come in here
332
00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:56,266
and help Regina make this
333
00:11:56,266 --> 00:11:57,300
something that feels like Vonda.
334
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:58,867
We'll start by losing the wall
335
00:11:58,867 --> 00:12:00,100
between the kitchen and living room
336
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:02,100
to give Vonda the area open concept
337
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,500
that she's always wanted.
338
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:05,567
Then we'll add medium-toned engineered hardwood
339
00:12:05,567 --> 00:12:08,066
to offer warmth and texture throughout the kitchen,
340
00:12:08,066 --> 00:12:09,900
dining, and living spaces.
341
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:11,900
For the high traffic area at the front entrance,
342
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:14,000
we'll add a sophisticated stone tile
343
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,166
that will add durability
344
00:12:15,166 --> 00:12:16,900
and make a luxurious first impression.
345
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:18,567
Vonda asked for more storage,
346
00:12:18,567 --> 00:12:19,967
so we'll shift the door to the garden
347
00:12:19,967 --> 00:12:21,266
to allow for a large,
348
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:22,900
much needed pantry cabinet.
349
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:25,166
We also know Vonda loves copper.
350
00:12:25,166 --> 00:12:26,867
So we'll keep the vibe light and bright
351
00:12:26,867 --> 00:12:28,100
with sheet copper accents
352
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,200
before installing a showpiece peninsula
353
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,367
that will flex as a cooking prep space and breakfast bar.
354
00:12:33,367 --> 00:12:35,066
In the dining room, we'll give Vonda
355
00:12:35,066 --> 00:12:36,967
much needed style and functionality
356
00:12:36,967 --> 00:12:39,266
with even more new storage under the window.
357
00:12:39,266 --> 00:12:41,100
While statement stone shutters will make
358
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:43,367
the entire wall a one of a kind focal point.
359
00:12:43,367 --> 00:12:46,000
And finally, we'll transform Vonda's living room
360
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400
into a relaxing, family chill zone
361
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,100
anchored by the new fireplace,
362
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,200
cozy furniture, and copper accents.
363
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,200
The perfect place for Vonda, Sabah, and Onaje
364
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,066
to watch a movie or decompress
365
00:12:57,066 --> 00:12:58,300
after a long day.
366
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,767
My big question is timeline.
367
00:13:00,767 --> 00:13:02,567
If we were just doing kitchen, that would've been one thing.
368
00:13:02,567 --> 00:13:05,467
But now that we're doing all of this and the HVAC.
369
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:07,266
I mean, I would say six...
370
00:13:08,066 --> 00:13:10,300
-Six. Six weeks. -Six weeks. Yeah.
371
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:12,667
Sabah has a compromised immune system.
372
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:15,967
She cannot be in some place if it's dusty and dirty.
373
00:13:15,967 --> 00:13:18,000
So we wanna make sure we get it done
374
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,467
and get them back into a safe, clean home.
375
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,600
And I think Vonda's watched
376
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,467
her own daughter fight so hard.
377
00:13:23,467 --> 00:13:25,900
So her thought is gonna be to have clean air for her daughter.
378
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:27,000
You know, I don't think
379
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,567
she'll ever stop thinking that way.
380
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:30,600
So I'm excited for her to see what else
381
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,266
we're gonna do that she doesn't know,
382
00:13:32,266 --> 00:13:34,166
because that part will be for Vonda.
383
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:35,867
It's gonna make her excited to come home
384
00:13:35,867 --> 00:13:38,266
'cause she works really hard and she works a lot.
385
00:13:38,266 --> 00:13:40,700
Obviously, people don't do things to be repaid
386
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:43,000
or rewarded, but what a blessing
387
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,734
when you can do that for someone.
388
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,867
I'd love to get these cabinets down
389
00:13:57,867 --> 00:13:59,100
so we can punch through.
390
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,667
That is gonna be the biggest wow moment.
391
00:14:01,667 --> 00:14:03,567
You came to the dirtiest day,
392
00:14:03,567 --> 00:14:04,767
the demolition day
393
00:14:04,767 --> 00:14:07,166
-wearing white. -Mmm-hmm.
394
00:14:07,166 --> 00:14:08,066
I know.
395
00:14:08,066 --> 00:14:10,200
I wanted to be helpful and cute.
396
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,700
Regina wants us to be perfect for Vonda and the kids
397
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:15,500
and she's gonna do whatever it takes
398
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:17,367
no matter how uncomfortable she is
399
00:14:17,367 --> 00:14:18,700
to pull it off.
400
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:20,667
-Yeah. Yeah. -What?
401
00:14:20,667 --> 00:14:23,000
- It does feel good. -What?
402
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,600
You know, I asked them, I said, "When you walk in,
403
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,867
do you already see what this space can be?"
404
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:30,066
And they can. Like, I love this kind of stuff.
405
00:14:30,066 --> 00:14:31,867
So I'm really... I'm thrilled.
406
00:14:31,867 --> 00:14:34,066
But it's a lot of work demoing.
407
00:14:34,066 --> 00:14:35,834
It's hard work. It's not easy.
408
00:14:36,967 --> 00:14:39,266
I'm doing...
409
00:14:39,266 --> 00:14:41,100
Hey, do me a favor. Change your stance.
410
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,667
Okay. Get your stance this way.
411
00:14:42,667 --> 00:14:45,367
Hold it a little lower down. Let the hammer do the work.
412
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,667
Yes. That's a... Ooh.
413
00:14:48,667 --> 00:14:49,867
- Yeah. - A little harder.
414
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:52,166
Oh, something is happening.
415
00:14:53,467 --> 00:14:55,467
-Yo, I did have to work. -You know what?
416
00:14:55,467 --> 00:14:56,967
He just came behind me.
417
00:14:56,967 --> 00:14:58,600
I'm sure. This is just really solid.
418
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,600
Let me just give this a hammer just to see.
419
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,467
-Okay. Okay. Go. -I'm gonna test them.
420
00:15:02,967 --> 00:15:04,367
Yeah, I had done that one as well.
421
00:15:04,367 --> 00:15:07,600
I didn't know my own strength was so little.
422
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:13,166
-Hammer that one that way. -Okay.
423
00:15:13,166 --> 00:15:14,500
-Give that a good solid-- -All right, guys, be careful.
424
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:15,800
I'm strong. Oh.
425
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,266
Hold on. Let me get the side of the
426
00:15:17,266 --> 00:15:19,000
I'm so strong, I'm missing it,
427
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,266
because I don't wanna hurt anyone.
428
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:22,600
-Ah! -Hey!
429
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,667
That was good.
430
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:24,834
Ready? One, two, three.
431
00:15:26,567 --> 00:15:28,567
This is about experience and technique.
432
00:15:28,567 --> 00:15:29,900
Watch the one place I need to hit.
433
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:31,233
Two...
434
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,467
Yay!
435
00:15:33,467 --> 00:15:34,967
It feels satisfying
436
00:15:34,967 --> 00:15:37,266
when you get it square on where you want it to be.
437
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:44,166
There you go.
438
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:45,467
-Perfect. -Nice. You're going through.
439
00:15:45,467 --> 00:15:47,000
-Yeah. And now-- -Oh!
440
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,867
Exactly what you did.
441
00:15:47,867 --> 00:15:49,467
Just do a line up and down with that.
442
00:15:52,667 --> 00:15:53,567
Nice.
443
00:15:53,567 --> 00:15:55,367
Hey!
444
00:15:56,467 --> 00:15:58,600
-I kind of did way better. -Yeah.
445
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,967
-Yes. -Way better.
446
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:02,433
Get on out of here.
447
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,166
Get on out of here.
448
00:16:04,166 --> 00:16:06,166
-Nice. -Already better.
449
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:08,166
I think to have this whole space,
450
00:16:08,166 --> 00:16:10,100
to be able to see that and this
451
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:13,100
and have this whole space has gotta be so great for her.
452
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:17,166
When she comes home after a long day, she's cooking.
453
00:16:17,166 --> 00:16:19,567
She can see her kids after she's been away on a shoot.
454
00:16:19,567 --> 00:16:20,600
All right. Let's continue.
455
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,500
Do you wanna take down this wall of cabinets
456
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:23,667
and then you and I can smash the rest of the wall?
457
00:16:23,667 --> 00:16:25,266
-Yeah. -Smashing is the fun part.
458
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:26,500
Right in here. It should be there.
459
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:27,700
-No pun intended. -Yeah.
460
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:28,867
I'm a demo diva.
461
00:16:28,867 --> 00:16:30,834
You literally are destroying something.
462
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:34,467
But I feel so good 'cause I can't...
463
00:16:34,467 --> 00:16:36,367
I can't wait to see what they're gonna do.
464
00:16:46,166 --> 00:16:47,500
With only six weeks we gut
465
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:48,867
and renovate three rooms
466
00:16:48,867 --> 00:16:51,333
every day is a crucial one for our build team.
467
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:53,467
And to fully open up the space,
468
00:16:53,467 --> 00:16:55,166
we're spanning a 15 foot beam
469
00:16:55,166 --> 00:16:57,166
that will not only give Vonda a bigger kitchen layout,
470
00:16:57,166 --> 00:16:58,667
but offer pristine sight lines
471
00:16:58,667 --> 00:17:00,100
to the rest of the living spaces.
472
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:01,700
It's ideal for family get-togethers
473
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:04,300
or when she's entertaining guests.
474
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:07,367
We're also completely removing the old HVAC system.
475
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:09,567
No matter how much cleaning
476
00:17:09,567 --> 00:17:10,867
we wanted to do with these ducts,
477
00:17:10,867 --> 00:17:14,400
there's 30 years of buildup of rust, of grime,
478
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,967
and it just won't be enough.
479
00:17:16,967 --> 00:17:18,667
Look at how bad that is inside.
480
00:17:18,667 --> 00:17:20,467
So we're gonna replace the whole system,
481
00:17:20,467 --> 00:17:22,700
brand-new HVAC, brand-new ducts,
482
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:24,867
because with Sabah's weakened immune system,
483
00:17:24,867 --> 00:17:26,533
everything has to be new and clean.
484
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:30,600
So while Drew and the crew continue to pull out
485
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,500
the old system inside,
486
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:34,667
Regina asked if she could come by the house.
487
00:17:34,667 --> 00:17:37,266
So I brought a few samples and finishes that I'm considering.
488
00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:39,200
Oh, is there copper in there?
489
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,467
Copper and gold?
490
00:17:40,467 --> 00:17:41,567
You better believe it.
491
00:17:41,567 --> 00:17:42,767
I have a bunch of ideas,
492
00:17:42,767 --> 00:17:45,066
but she knows Vonda much better than anyone.
493
00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:46,867
What do you wanna start with?
494
00:17:46,867 --> 00:17:49,100
-Grand scheme things? - Yeah.
495
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:51,400
'Cause we know she said wants to modernize it.
496
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,467
But she also wants it to be...
497
00:17:52,467 --> 00:17:53,967
-Floors. -Floors?
498
00:17:53,967 --> 00:17:56,367
- I like this floor. -Oh, okay. We're done.
499
00:17:56,367 --> 00:17:57,967
All right.
500
00:17:57,967 --> 00:17:59,200
Do you like that floor?
501
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,266
I do. So I'm a big fan
502
00:18:00,266 --> 00:18:02,100
of, like, a nice, warm midtone.
503
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,467
Depending on what we're looking to do elsewhere,
504
00:18:04,467 --> 00:18:06,767
the nice thing is if we are introducing some warmer tones
505
00:18:06,767 --> 00:18:08,767
in the metals as well, this will play it.
506
00:18:08,767 --> 00:18:10,567
That was in kind of golden kits.
507
00:18:10,567 --> 00:18:11,667
Mmm-hmm.
508
00:18:11,667 --> 00:18:14,166
For cabinets, if we're opening up that whole kitchen,
509
00:18:14,166 --> 00:18:16,000
we're doing a lot of perimeter cabinets.
510
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,166
We're doing the island.
511
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:21,000
We have the opportunity to go darker with that,
512
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,667
'cause we're gonna have a lot more natural light flowing through.
513
00:18:23,667 --> 00:18:26,767
Or we have the opportunity to keep it light,
514
00:18:26,767 --> 00:18:29,033
but still modernize it in the style of the cabinet.
515
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:31,867
I kinda like how this is shaped,
516
00:18:31,867 --> 00:18:33,600
-because this is clean. - Yeah.
517
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,667
But I like this color
518
00:18:34,667 --> 00:18:37,100
'cause it's soft and it feels like it flows.
519
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:38,800
If we have the modern-shaker
520
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,467
with this warmer white,
521
00:18:40,467 --> 00:18:42,300
all of a sudden, you're starting to tell a story
522
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:43,467
that would look really great...
523
00:18:43,467 --> 00:18:44,567
-That's a good story. -with this.
524
00:18:44,567 --> 00:18:47,600
And then you pull in your stone for the countertop.
525
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,166
It has some nice little veins that running through it.
526
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:51,967
Yeah. Do you see the gold in there?
527
00:18:51,967 --> 00:18:53,667
Start to find these little elements
528
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:55,533
that you can pull together a little bit.
529
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:58,667
So, if we went, all of a sudden,
530
00:18:58,667 --> 00:19:00,266
with something like that,
531
00:19:00,266 --> 00:19:02,166
well, now, you can start to see
532
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:03,967
this plays really, really well.
533
00:19:03,967 --> 00:19:05,433
Yeah.
534
00:19:05,433 --> 00:19:07,467
I'm really happy with the light bright color palette we're pulling together.
535
00:19:07,467 --> 00:19:08,367
-This looks good. - Yeah.
536
00:19:08,367 --> 00:19:09,667
-Oh, yeah. -Look at that.
537
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:11,166
Vonda wanted big change,
538
00:19:11,166 --> 00:19:13,166
so I'm creating more of a neutral backdrop
539
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:15,567
in all three rooms, so it will allow her art
540
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:18,066
and all the beautiful things she's collected over the years
541
00:19:18,066 --> 00:19:19,266
to really pop.
542
00:19:19,266 --> 00:19:21,667
I know you've been waiting to talk about the metals.
543
00:19:21,667 --> 00:19:23,000
I know.
544
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,867
I mean, because I know how Vonda loves them.
545
00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:26,800
I mean she spray-painted every appliance.
546
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,367
The metals are key 'cause the metals are key for Vonda.
547
00:19:29,367 --> 00:19:30,567
I mean she's, like,
548
00:19:30,567 --> 00:19:32,667
"If I can't get the metals, I'm gonna make the metals."
549
00:19:32,667 --> 00:19:35,467
So, yeah, the metals are gonna be very important.
550
00:19:35,467 --> 00:19:37,066
Pick a metal, any metal.
551
00:19:37,066 --> 00:19:39,266
What do you think Vonda would love?
552
00:19:39,266 --> 00:19:41,767
I know she likes gold and copper so that's--
553
00:19:41,767 --> 00:19:43,500
Yeah. This... I feel like these two
554
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:45,266
we know 100%.
555
00:19:45,266 --> 00:19:46,367
- Yeah. - She likes copper.
556
00:19:46,367 --> 00:19:48,200
Originally, I thought we could do
557
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,000
the entire range hood in copper.
558
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,500
But then, I'm starting to think
559
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,500
that we could create something even more interesting
560
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:54,767
by combining metals.
561
00:19:54,767 --> 00:19:56,500
One thing actually to consider
562
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,567
is sometimes there's a tasteful way to do it
563
00:19:58,567 --> 00:20:01,367
where you have, like, a matte black metal hood
564
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:04,266
with just a little rim of something there?
565
00:20:04,266 --> 00:20:05,433
I like that.
566
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:07,467
This gold looks gorgeous.
567
00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:09,066
The gold does look really nice
568
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:10,900
and pulls so cleanly from the veining.
569
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:12,100
-And it's really subtle. -Like this?
570
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:14,300
I mean this does too, but something about that.
571
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:16,166
The subtlety of that? It's so classy.
572
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:17,800
Anywhere in here...
573
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,200
that we fall with our hardware for cabinetry,
574
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,700
for our light fixtures,
575
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:25,166
-for the hood. - That's great.
576
00:20:25,166 --> 00:20:26,867
I think she's gonna love anything in here
577
00:20:26,867 --> 00:20:27,767
'cause it really warms up.
578
00:20:27,767 --> 00:20:30,066
But we know we have to have at least
579
00:20:30,066 --> 00:20:31,667
a little bit of copper,
580
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:33,100
-real copper for real. -At least.
581
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:34,166
-So we're-- -How do you feel?
582
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:36,867
This is good. So, let me clarify.
583
00:20:36,867 --> 00:20:38,900
You're gonna do
584
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,767
-this shape... - Yup.
585
00:20:41,767 --> 00:20:43,667
- but this color? - Correct.
586
00:20:43,667 --> 00:20:45,367
So this is our color palette,
587
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:47,800
-but this is our style. -Exactly.
588
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,200
We'll find a way to maybe incorporate
589
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,266
some of the brass and matte black...
590
00:20:51,266 --> 00:20:52,266
- Or... And-- -or copper.
591
00:20:52,266 --> 00:20:53,467
Yup.
592
00:20:53,467 --> 00:20:56,066
Finding a way to incorporate mixed metals wherever we can.
593
00:20:56,066 --> 00:20:58,166
I think the way they're talking about accenting it
594
00:20:58,166 --> 00:21:00,600
is actually gonna make the metals stand out even more.
595
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,100
This actually throws us way ahead of the game
596
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:04,266
'cause I can start to make decisions
597
00:21:04,266 --> 00:21:06,000
in order of the cabinets and everything.
598
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,900
I'm so excited for that reveal.
599
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,467
Demo Diva, nice work.
600
00:21:09,467 --> 00:21:11,734
-Demo diva, nice work.
601
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,166
Week two is off to a great start.
602
00:21:22,166 --> 00:21:23,900
We have the framing done. The plumbers are here,
603
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:25,567
roughing in Vonda's new kitchen,
604
00:21:25,567 --> 00:21:28,266
and the electricians are working on the living room.
605
00:21:28,266 --> 00:21:30,266
In the attic, we're busy in installing the new HVAC
606
00:21:30,266 --> 00:21:31,767
and clean air system.
607
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,567
With Sabah having a compromised immune system,
608
00:21:36,567 --> 00:21:38,266
she needs everything she can possibly get
609
00:21:38,266 --> 00:21:40,467
to keep this house healthy and safer.
610
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:43,100
The HVAC we removed was so dirty.
611
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:45,100
Vonda wouldn't even use the air conditioning
612
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,400
because she was afraid it was gonna make Sabah sick.
613
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,400
I love that this house is gonna be better for Sabah
614
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,867
and her weakened immune system.
615
00:21:50,867 --> 00:21:51,867
But on top of that,
616
00:21:51,867 --> 00:21:53,467
it's gonna be more comfortable for everybody.
617
00:21:53,467 --> 00:21:55,700
And the nice thing too, we're getting everything insulated,
618
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,867
so that will help keep the efficiency.
619
00:21:57,867 --> 00:22:00,166
When you think of the high-end air purification systems
620
00:22:00,166 --> 00:22:01,367
they have in a hospital,
621
00:22:01,367 --> 00:22:03,100
that's almost what I feel like we're putting in here.
622
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:05,367
The HEPA filter is like a mega HEPA filter.
623
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:06,667
In addition to replacing that,
624
00:22:06,667 --> 00:22:08,266
a second filter's being used
625
00:22:08,266 --> 00:22:10,667
with ultraviolet light to kill mold and bacteria.
626
00:22:10,667 --> 00:22:13,467
The equipment's gonna run from here directly into each room.
627
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:14,967
And finally, if that isn't enough,
628
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:17,266
we're also installing an electrostatic air filter
629
00:22:17,266 --> 00:22:19,500
that uses static electricity to charge
630
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:21,734
and then pull on water particles out of the air.
631
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,367
It is the start of week three
632
00:22:29,367 --> 00:22:31,166
and while we're able to keep the renovation on track,
633
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:33,467
even with the multiple jobs that we have going on,
634
00:22:33,467 --> 00:22:35,567
there's still little room to breathe.
635
00:22:35,567 --> 00:22:37,200
At this point, with no hiccup,
636
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,533
we'll be ready right at that six-week mark.
637
00:22:40,567 --> 00:22:42,467
So while we finish the drywall in the kitchen,
638
00:22:42,467 --> 00:22:45,233
the fireplace mantel is being framed out in the living room.
639
00:22:46,266 --> 00:22:47,867
This same engineered hardwood flooring
640
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:49,600
will run through all three rooms,
641
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,266
visually helping connect each space.
642
00:22:52,867 --> 00:22:55,100
Higher, lower, lower.
643
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:56,667
And while Regina's on set today,
644
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:58,467
Jonathan and I are putting the final touches
645
00:22:58,467 --> 00:22:59,700
on the new doors to the garden.
646
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:01,367
We've shifted the entry a few feet
647
00:23:01,367 --> 00:23:03,066
to make room for more kitchen storage.
648
00:23:03,066 --> 00:23:05,266
The nice thing is you'd never even know
649
00:23:05,266 --> 00:23:06,900
there were other doors here before.
650
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:08,900
These are brand-new energy efficient doors
651
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:10,100
and they look great.
652
00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:12,166
The kitchen is bigger, it has more storage.
653
00:23:12,166 --> 00:23:13,367
Everything about this house
654
00:23:13,367 --> 00:23:15,266
says function, style, and flow.
655
00:23:15,266 --> 00:23:16,467
-Oh, it's Regina.
656
00:23:16,467 --> 00:23:18,667
- Oh. -Hey, how's it going?
657
00:23:18,667 --> 00:23:19,767
Hi, guys.
658
00:23:19,767 --> 00:23:21,767
-Are you spying on us? -What's going on?
659
00:23:21,767 --> 00:23:24,967
Well, I... I'm kinda curious. I can't lie.
660
00:23:24,967 --> 00:23:27,567
I wanted to check on the status of everything
661
00:23:27,567 --> 00:23:29,000
and see where you are.
662
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,800
We're making pretty great progress.
663
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,867
The new door is in.
664
00:23:31,867 --> 00:23:33,667
Now, we don't have the cabinets in yet,
665
00:23:33,667 --> 00:23:34,867
so you can't quite see that.
666
00:23:34,867 --> 00:23:36,266
Regina must be in our heads
667
00:23:36,266 --> 00:23:39,166
'cause she knows the second we have something
668
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:40,600
we need to ask her, boom.
669
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,600
Why don't we flip around the camera
670
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,500
and we'll just show you some samples?
671
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:46,567
First of all, for flooring.
672
00:23:46,567 --> 00:23:49,300
We need a decision on the tile for the front entry.
673
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:51,900
Tile is a great option for high traffic areas
674
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:54,667
and these needs to make a really great first impression.
675
00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:56,967
We could go bold with something darker,
676
00:23:56,967 --> 00:23:58,767
because everything else in the space is pretty light.
677
00:23:58,767 --> 00:24:01,066
So, a little bit of dark tile in that entry
678
00:24:01,066 --> 00:24:02,400
is not gonna be a bad thing.
679
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,767
Or we could do a nice pattern.
680
00:24:04,767 --> 00:24:06,300
This is something I put into our house.
681
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,266
I love that gold pattern.
682
00:24:08,266 --> 00:24:11,166
It's gorgeous. It brings in a lot of colors.
683
00:24:11,166 --> 00:24:12,300
What do you think of the terrazzo?
684
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,467
Oh, I mean, that's beautiful.
685
00:24:14,467 --> 00:24:15,667
You know what?
686
00:24:15,667 --> 00:24:16,900
I think she'll really love that
687
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,867
because that's gonna tie in to all the metals
688
00:24:18,867 --> 00:24:20,667
that you guys are putting,
689
00:24:20,667 --> 00:24:22,266
you know, in the house and in the kitchen.
690
00:24:22,266 --> 00:24:24,667
So, I think it's soft and bold
691
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:27,066
that it complements the flow of everything.
692
00:24:27,066 --> 00:24:29,000
And all the lighter tones, like, you can pick up
693
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,667
some of the colors for the cabinets and the floors.
694
00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:33,567
So it is... It's beautiful.
695
00:24:33,567 --> 00:24:35,266
And the living room, the old fireplace
696
00:24:35,266 --> 00:24:37,100
just wasn't living up to its potential.
697
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,667
So we're placing it with a design
698
00:24:38,667 --> 00:24:40,000
that's much more visually impactful.
699
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,700
So a couple of options we could do for fireplace.
700
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:46,867
Um, we could go bold with a stone slab
701
00:24:46,867 --> 00:24:51,500
or we go tile or we do a Venetian plaster finish.
702
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:53,800
I really do like the Venetian plaster.
703
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,900
-The last one, not the-- - This one?
704
00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:56,900
That one. I like that.
705
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:57,900
- Yeah. - I like that.
706
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:59,400
That's my favorite. Just same.
707
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,166
Great minds think alike.
708
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:03,100
You know what we could actually do, which might be interesting,
709
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:07,600
we were doing kind of a gray slab over in the dining area.
710
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,100
I could take that same stone from the dining room
711
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,700
and do it on the fireplace surround.
712
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:13,867
Yeah.
713
00:25:13,867 --> 00:25:15,900
If you think that would be good kinda pull it together?
714
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:17,567
That.. That's actually beautiful
715
00:25:17,567 --> 00:25:20,500
and it's subtle, but it gives it a pop of surround this slab.
716
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:21,700
-I like that. -Yeah.
717
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:22,867
And also, the texture, too,
718
00:25:22,867 --> 00:25:24,767
because it's not just gonna be a flat finish as well.
719
00:25:24,767 --> 00:25:26,166
It's gonna have some texture in it the way it...
720
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:28,467
It's laid on there, so it's gonna be gorgeous.
721
00:25:28,467 --> 00:25:29,467
And I'm excited.
722
00:25:29,467 --> 00:25:31,834
I'm probably more... I'm more excited than Vonda.
723
00:25:32,567 --> 00:25:33,900
Any other questions for us?
724
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:35,000
No, I'm just excited.
725
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,266
Like, hurry up so I can see it.
726
00:25:37,266 --> 00:25:38,467
Right? But that's all.
727
00:25:38,467 --> 00:25:40,100
-It's looking great, though. -Oh, Vonda's gonna love it.
728
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:41,900
-Yeah, we'll talk to you soon. -Bye.
729
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:43,066
Okay. Bye, guys.
730
00:25:43,066 --> 00:25:44,500
When you have someone like Vonda who's an artist,
731
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,000
you need to have a fireplace surround
732
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,367
that looks like it's from an artist.
733
00:25:47,367 --> 00:25:48,567
-All right. Amazing. -Okay.
734
00:25:48,567 --> 00:25:50,767
Do you wanna call and see if we have enough of the stone
735
00:25:50,767 --> 00:25:52,600
of the dining room to do the fireplace?
736
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,367
Yeah. Sounds good. This is gonna be gorgeous.
737
00:26:03,467 --> 00:26:05,800
Big at Vonda's house this week.
738
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,066
Cabinets are being assembled
739
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:09,667
and the new kitchen is taking shape.
740
00:26:09,667 --> 00:26:11,867
Our design not only leans into Vonda's style,
741
00:26:11,867 --> 00:26:14,066
but also how she lives her life.
742
00:26:14,066 --> 00:26:16,066
This layout offers twice the storage
743
00:26:16,066 --> 00:26:18,900
and is perfect for cooking and entertaining.
744
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:21,066
Our stone team got here early this morning
745
00:26:21,066 --> 00:26:23,066
to install the marble surround Regina chose
746
00:26:23,066 --> 00:26:25,266
for the fireplace, which allows us
747
00:26:25,266 --> 00:26:27,467
to do our first coat of Venetian plaster,
748
00:26:27,467 --> 00:26:30,000
which together will make this a focal point for the living room.
749
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,567
This looks so good, though.
750
00:26:31,567 --> 00:26:33,467
I mean, compared to what was here before,
751
00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:34,867
night and day.
752
00:26:34,867 --> 00:26:37,200
This is the kind of thing Vonda absolutely will love.
753
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,266
You've got this amazing texture.
754
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:40,867
It's fun to apply.
755
00:26:40,867 --> 00:26:42,900
It actually can take what would otherwise
756
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,900
just be plain drywall, boring.
757
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,867
And it makes it a statement.
758
00:26:47,867 --> 00:26:50,266
We'll let the first coat dry before we add the second coat.
759
00:26:50,266 --> 00:26:53,367
When that dries, we'll lightly sand down any sharp edges
760
00:26:53,367 --> 00:26:56,667
with a very fine sandpaper to give it a more subtle-aged look.
761
00:26:56,667 --> 00:26:58,700
The texture in this wall
762
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,800
is just gonna be one of the things she loves the most.
763
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,367
There's a moodiness to this area that's gorgeous
764
00:27:03,367 --> 00:27:05,800
and in the lighter tones elsewhere is the perfect complement.
765
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,000
Oh, there's gonna be a moodiness
766
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,166
if you don't start working faster.
767
00:27:12,266 --> 00:27:13,467
With just a week left,
768
00:27:13,467 --> 00:27:15,367
we cannot take our foot off the gas.
769
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:17,800
In the kitchen, we're installing the countertops
770
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,800
and the new range hood, while in the dining room,
771
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,800
we're installing the new wall-to-wall custom storage
772
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,100
in a contrasting dark cherry cabinet.
773
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,900
I think Vonda would love to have more storage
774
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:28,000
and some style.
775
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,300
She's an artistic woman.
776
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,767
She loves to show her personality.
777
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:35,600
We wanted to create something really special,
778
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,000
a visual focal point in the dining room.
779
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,700
And using the stone to do that is so great.
780
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,667
Ooh, looking good. The detail is so cool.
781
00:27:43,667 --> 00:27:45,000
-You need anything buffed? -Uh, yeah.
782
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,667
Actually, I was just gonna buff up my biceps a little bit.
783
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:49,066
We're almost creating,
784
00:27:49,066 --> 00:27:50,967
kind of, a bookend feel shutters
785
00:27:50,967 --> 00:27:52,467
on either side of the window
786
00:27:52,467 --> 00:27:55,100
with this elegant architectural detail.
787
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,767
Well, it's also nice to have those curves too,
788
00:27:58,767 --> 00:28:00,100
because there are a lot of straight edges,
789
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:02,367
straight angles throughout the space in the kitchen as well.
790
00:28:02,367 --> 00:28:03,567
So we'll put the bottom first?
791
00:28:03,567 --> 00:28:05,066
So you think... Yeah, bottom first.
792
00:28:06,767 --> 00:28:11,567
To have the continuity from the stone,
793
00:28:11,567 --> 00:28:14,100
I mean, how cool is that?
794
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:17,066
Continuous right up there and we'll finish this all off.
795
00:28:17,066 --> 00:28:18,667
- Yeah. -Make it beautiful.
796
00:28:18,667 --> 00:28:21,867
But you now have the storage that never existed before,
797
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,867
the stone that makes a statement.
798
00:28:23,867 --> 00:28:25,500
This is gonna be amazing.
799
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,667
And as stunning as that dining room stone is,
800
00:28:27,667 --> 00:28:29,800
the dolomite countertop for this gorgeous
801
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,200
and enormous peninsula,
802
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,600
may be one of my favorite things in this design.
803
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,100
This is a nice looking piece of stone.
804
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:38,567
Should we keep it about right here?
805
00:28:38,567 --> 00:28:39,967
Hmm...
806
00:28:39,967 --> 00:28:41,567
- There you go. - There you go.
807
00:28:41,567 --> 00:28:42,900
Watch your fingers.
808
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:44,767
- Go ahead over.
809
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:46,767
What'd you guys... You said its 600 pounds?
810
00:28:46,767 --> 00:28:49,367
No way. I benched 600 pounds for breakfast.
811
00:28:49,367 --> 00:28:50,667
Yeah, right?
812
00:28:50,667 --> 00:28:51,800
We're doing dolomite,
813
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,567
which is a beautiful marble from Brazil.
814
00:28:54,567 --> 00:28:55,867
It's a little bit harder.
815
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:58,667
It's got this beautiful veining throughout it.
816
00:28:58,667 --> 00:28:59,867
And on top of that,
817
00:28:59,867 --> 00:29:01,367
just having an open sight line,
818
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:02,767
an actual open sight line.
819
00:29:02,767 --> 00:29:04,767
Not a tiny little peek hole,
820
00:29:04,767 --> 00:29:07,166
but a whole wall opened up, this beautiful big peninsula,
821
00:29:07,166 --> 00:29:09,000
that's gonna be game changing for the kitchen.
822
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:14,100
I'm excited and I'm nervous.
823
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:15,767
I'm excited and I'm nervous.
824
00:29:15,767 --> 00:29:17,667
And I love you for doing this for me.
825
00:29:17,667 --> 00:29:18,867
Oh, I love you.
826
00:29:18,867 --> 00:29:19,900
Do not open your eyes.
827
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,967
Do not open your eyes until we tell you.
828
00:29:24,367 --> 00:29:27,300
Regina gave me the ability
829
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,467
to give my mom what I've always wanted to give her.
830
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,700
Hey.
831
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:46,100
-Oh, you're too fast. - I brought you the...
832
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:48,100
I brought you the tile for this one here.
833
00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:50,066
This week is all about those details
834
00:29:50,066 --> 00:29:51,900
that will pull all these three rooms together
835
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,667
and wow Vonda as soon as she walks in the door.
836
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:57,400
How are you feeling about that terrazzo?
837
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,700
Oh, my gosh. It's beautiful.
838
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:00,367
I love that everything feels light and airy.
839
00:30:00,367 --> 00:30:01,767
The hardwood is gorgeous
840
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:04,166
and you have that seamless transition to the terrazzo.
841
00:30:04,166 --> 00:30:05,900
Everything about this entryway,
842
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:08,367
it says, "Come on in. You're welcome."
843
00:30:08,367 --> 00:30:11,166
In all the added function and beauty of the space,
844
00:30:11,166 --> 00:30:12,367
that is great.
845
00:30:12,367 --> 00:30:14,066
And I know that Vonda and the kids are gonna love that.
846
00:30:14,066 --> 00:30:16,100
But really, it's about the safety and health
847
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:17,600
for this family, for Sabah.
848
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,900
Absolutely, and that's why HVAC specialists are here
849
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:24,266
to fine tune the state-of-the-art clean air system that we installed.
850
00:30:24,266 --> 00:30:26,567
They're testing airflow and taking samples
851
00:30:26,567 --> 00:30:28,000
to make sure the air inside the house
852
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
is cleaner than what's outside.
853
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,500
A lot of people are afraid of the air quality
854
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:33,467
outside their house.
855
00:30:33,467 --> 00:30:34,900
They think I'm gonna stay inside
856
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:36,500
and close things in and insulate
857
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:38,266
and make sure that I'm safe in here with cleaner air.
858
00:30:38,266 --> 00:30:39,900
But in reality, they don't have a system
859
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:41,867
that gives them clean air.
860
00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:44,567
Fine dust collects inside your HVAC system,
861
00:30:44,567 --> 00:30:47,567
flakes of dead skin, hair, pet dander.
862
00:30:47,567 --> 00:30:50,367
They all catch onto the dust, creating a dense environment
863
00:30:50,367 --> 00:30:52,467
where bacteria, mold, dust mites,
864
00:30:52,467 --> 00:30:54,800
and all kinds of allergens can flourish.
865
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,900
So it's a good idea
866
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:58,467
to have your HVAC system professionally cleaned
867
00:30:58,467 --> 00:31:01,000
at least every three or four years.
868
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
The air quality inside your home can be so bad
869
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,200
that you can have 100 times more pollutants in the air
870
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,600
than you would find outside with the fresh air.
871
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,133
So that's why having a system like this is so important.
872
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,266
Okay.
873
00:31:25,266 --> 00:31:26,867
-This a cool table. -Yeah.
874
00:31:26,867 --> 00:31:28,700
Getting those copper accents.
875
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:29,667
Can I put it here?
876
00:31:29,667 --> 00:31:31,166
-Yeah, I mean, the more... -Okay.
877
00:31:31,166 --> 00:31:33,467
of Vonda's stuff we can have in this design, the better.
878
00:31:33,467 --> 00:31:35,367
I think it's gonna make it feel more like home.
879
00:31:35,367 --> 00:31:36,900
This is it. Final touches
880
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:38,367
before the big day tomorrow.
881
00:31:38,367 --> 00:31:40,266
Regina could not miss this.
882
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:42,066
She made sure that we did not furnish
883
00:31:42,066 --> 00:31:43,900
or open one box without her.
884
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:45,266
Look at this.
885
00:31:45,266 --> 00:31:46,600
Aw.
886
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,367
It's Vonda and her baby.
887
00:31:48,367 --> 00:31:50,567
- Aw, cute. -Sabah.
888
00:31:51,567 --> 00:31:53,967
Vonda and Regina, they laugh nonstop.
889
00:31:53,967 --> 00:31:56,400
Where would you like to put you in this design?
890
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,467
Right here.
891
00:31:58,467 --> 00:31:59,700
So it's the first.
892
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,467
Clear all of this out of here.
893
00:32:01,467 --> 00:32:03,567
Is this the right place for me? Tell me.
894
00:32:03,567 --> 00:32:05,567
Well, you do have a nice shape coming down.
895
00:32:05,567 --> 00:32:06,667
We can play around.
896
00:32:06,667 --> 00:32:08,266
Let's try me in different places.
897
00:32:08,266 --> 00:32:09,900
- Okay. -Let's see where I end up.
898
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:12,266
They give each other so much joy.
899
00:32:12,266 --> 00:32:14,867
And so, yeah, let's find the right spot for this picture.
900
00:32:14,867 --> 00:32:16,500
-This looks pretty. -Go look at this thing.
901
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:18,000
Every little detail in this space
902
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,767
speaks to Vonda's personality.
903
00:32:19,767 --> 00:32:22,567
A lot of these pieces are Vonda's pieces too
904
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:24,200
and she's got amazing taste.
905
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,100
But the way they're incorporated now,
906
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:27,100
you can really see them.
907
00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:30,100
I think before they didn't stand out as much,
908
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:32,867
but now you put 'em on the backdrop of the new design,
909
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:34,266
the open space,
910
00:32:34,266 --> 00:32:37,367
and you can really see her art pieces in a different way.
911
00:32:37,367 --> 00:32:39,567
She thinks that there's something in the kitchen happening.
912
00:32:39,567 --> 00:32:40,500
-She doesn't know about this. -No.
913
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,266
She doesn't know about the living room.
914
00:32:42,266 --> 00:32:43,367
She doesn't know about the entryway.
915
00:32:43,367 --> 00:32:45,100
Oh, my gosh. This is gonna be amazing.
916
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:46,667
So how do you want to do it? How do you wanna get her here?
917
00:32:46,667 --> 00:32:48,767
I'll pick her up and maybe we could all come together.
918
00:32:48,767 --> 00:32:49,667
- Yeah. - Okay.
919
00:32:49,667 --> 00:32:51,166
If we can join in the ride,
920
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:52,367
build up the anticipation for her.
921
00:32:52,367 --> 00:32:53,266
Yeah. Yeah.
922
00:32:53,266 --> 00:32:54,500
Now, I got a couple of warrants,
923
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:55,967
but if we don't speed.
924
00:32:55,967 --> 00:32:57,166
Oh, okay.
925
00:32:57,166 --> 00:32:58,367
Maybe I'll back, didn't know.
926
00:32:58,367 --> 00:33:00,333
- Okay. - Yeah, you know.
927
00:33:04,266 --> 00:33:06,634
What's running through your mind right now, Vonda?
928
00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:10,467
-I'm excited and I'm nervous. - Yeah, we're close.
929
00:33:10,467 --> 00:33:14,166
I'm excited and I'm nervous.
930
00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:15,867
And I am so grateful.
931
00:33:15,867 --> 00:33:17,800
Well, you've been out of the house for six weeks.
932
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,767
How's that been?
933
00:33:18,767 --> 00:33:22,000
I am absolutely ready to be in my house.
934
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,700
- Well, here we go.
935
00:33:27,266 --> 00:33:30,266
I just want you to know, like, you deserve it.
936
00:33:30,266 --> 00:33:31,667
-Thank you. -Right? You deserve it.
937
00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:34,600
You're an incredible mommy, an incredible artist,
938
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,800
and an incredible friend, an incredible human.
939
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,600
So there is nobody that I'm...
940
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,000
I couldn't be more excited,
941
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,033
um, to be able to do this for.
942
00:33:46,667 --> 00:33:48,166
I'm so nervous.
943
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,400
And one of the things I've marveled
944
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,266
is your commitment to your kids,
945
00:33:53,266 --> 00:33:54,767
watching you be a single mom,
946
00:33:54,767 --> 00:33:57,000
watching you maneuver work,
947
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,367
never falling behind on one for the other,
948
00:34:00,367 --> 00:34:03,900
and obviously, especially Sabah.
949
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:05,166
Well, you know, Regina,
950
00:34:05,166 --> 00:34:07,200
anything that you do, I'm sure I'm gonna love it.
951
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,767
And I love you for doing this for me.
952
00:34:09,767 --> 00:34:10,867
Oh, I love you.
953
00:34:10,867 --> 00:34:13,800
Navigating every single world single-handedly
954
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,200
and I just have always admired that and loved that about you.
955
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,700
Hold that until you've seen it.
956
00:34:18,700 --> 00:34:20,166
-And see if she gets it right. -She knows what to say.
957
00:34:20,166 --> 00:34:21,567
Well, remember she said anything.
958
00:34:21,567 --> 00:34:22,667
Okay.
959
00:34:22,667 --> 00:34:24,166
-She said anything. - Ah!
960
00:34:24,166 --> 00:34:25,667
Do not open your eyes.
961
00:34:25,667 --> 00:34:27,567
Do not open your eyes until we tell you.
962
00:34:27,567 --> 00:34:29,400
-Keep them closed. -Keep them closed.
963
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,767
We're gonna set you guys showing off to the side here.
964
00:34:32,767 --> 00:34:35,767
-Okay. -All right. One second here.
965
00:34:35,767 --> 00:34:37,400
And open your eyes.
966
00:34:43,066 --> 00:34:45,567
May have done a little more than just the kitchen.
967
00:34:49,767 --> 00:34:51,200
Do not open your eyes.
968
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,667
Do not open your eyes until we tell you.
969
00:34:53,667 --> 00:34:56,867
We're gonna set you guys showing off to the side here.
970
00:34:56,867 --> 00:35:00,066
-Okay. -All right. One second here.
971
00:35:00,066 --> 00:35:01,433
And open your eyes.
972
00:35:12,467 --> 00:35:15,967
It's beautiful.
973
00:35:15,967 --> 00:35:18,567
May have done a little more than just the kitchen.
974
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:22,066
It's beautiful.
975
00:35:22,066 --> 00:35:25,166
I mean, I didn't think of anything.
976
00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:26,867
I didn't want to.
977
00:35:26,867 --> 00:35:30,033
I trust the process and I'm so glad I did.
978
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,266
It's comfortable. It's artsy.
979
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:36,367
And you guys gave me my little copper.
980
00:35:36,367 --> 00:35:38,100
Not just the copper,
981
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,266
but also look at these floors as they're flowing.
982
00:35:40,266 --> 00:35:43,600
-Everything's all seamless. - Oh, yes.
983
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,166
When I first walked in and just to see the newness.
984
00:35:48,166 --> 00:35:50,800
Before it was so much color and I was actually thinking,
985
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,900
like, I want everything white.
986
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:55,767
But just to see the newness, the freshness,
987
00:35:55,767 --> 00:35:57,667
and the way that everything flow.
988
00:36:00,467 --> 00:36:02,667
Oh, and there we are.
989
00:36:04,567 --> 00:36:05,667
I mean, I love her.
990
00:36:05,667 --> 00:36:09,667
I just have really a profound joy
991
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:13,700
that, you know, she will get to come home and relax.
992
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:16,667
When I look at that, I'm gonna always think
993
00:36:16,667 --> 00:36:18,266
about you thinking about me.
994
00:36:18,266 --> 00:36:19,867
Mmm.
995
00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:21,600
-I love you. -No, I love you.
996
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,967
I love you for it.
997
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,500
The fireplace.
998
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:28,467
I love this.
999
00:36:28,467 --> 00:36:30,166
This is beautiful.
1000
00:36:30,166 --> 00:36:31,467
-Do you remember the mirrors? - Yeah, remember?
1001
00:36:31,467 --> 00:36:33,500
Oh, I remember the mirrors. They...
1002
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:35,800
I remember the mirrors.
1003
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,800
A lot of people don't get rid of a mirror wall
1004
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,100
because they think it'll make a space look a lot smaller.
1005
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,266
But in reality, when you look at this now,
1006
00:36:42,266 --> 00:36:43,767
-does it look bigger? - It does.
1007
00:36:43,767 --> 00:36:45,433
It looks so much bigger.
1008
00:36:47,367 --> 00:36:49,667
This is only one part of the puzzle.
1009
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:51,567
And this one's a little bit of a surprise.
1010
00:36:51,567 --> 00:36:55,033
But the majority of Regina's work.
1011
00:37:05,767 --> 00:37:07,533
It's beautiful.
1012
00:37:09,066 --> 00:37:13,266
It's amazing because I wouldn't have never thought
1013
00:37:13,266 --> 00:37:15,800
that this is what it was gonna be like.
1014
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,000
And there's storage here.
1015
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,500
There's storage on the other side. Go look.
1016
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:20,667
Oh, I love it.
1017
00:37:20,667 --> 00:37:23,266
Oh, my goodness. And they go to the ceiling.
1018
00:37:23,266 --> 00:37:26,100
The old kitchen was just so closed off and dark.
1019
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:31,000
And also with the overuse of the copper spray paint
1020
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
and handles coming off of appliances.
1021
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,100
This is the right balance with the copper.
1022
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:36,967
You wanna make sure it's just a little boop here
1023
00:37:36,967 --> 00:37:38,467
and a little boop there, and it looks perfect.
1024
00:37:38,467 --> 00:37:40,467
This is beautiful.
1025
00:37:40,467 --> 00:37:41,967
I love it.
1026
00:37:41,967 --> 00:37:43,467
Oh, I love it.
1027
00:37:43,467 --> 00:37:46,667
I'm thinking, I got a kitchen now.
1028
00:37:46,667 --> 00:37:47,900
I got a kitchen.
1029
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:50,567
I have space. I have storage.
1030
00:37:50,567 --> 00:37:52,867
-Look how big this island is. -It is.
1031
00:37:52,867 --> 00:37:54,000
It's pretty nice to have
1032
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,400
-this kind of a surface... - It's beautiful.
1033
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,400
for entertaining, you have five stools
1034
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,967
along the back of the peninsula.
1035
00:37:58,967 --> 00:38:00,600
So I always wanted an open concept,
1036
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,500
but just seeing the peninsula
1037
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:06,266
and how massive, it's just beautiful.
1038
00:38:06,266 --> 00:38:08,967
And it's a good gathering space
1039
00:38:08,967 --> 00:38:12,767
where my family, we can come and have a good gathering.
1040
00:38:12,767 --> 00:38:14,000
And we could stay in the kitchen.
1041
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:14,900
It's beautiful.
1042
00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:16,100
But when you're entertaining guests,
1043
00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:18,600
you now have the space to entertain family and friends.
1044
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,367
Yes. You could do it in this beautiful dining space.
1045
00:38:20,367 --> 00:38:22,100
Beautiful.
1046
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:32,767
Look at all the storage.
1047
00:38:32,767 --> 00:38:33,867
Oh, wow.
1048
00:38:33,867 --> 00:38:36,667
Vonda was so overwhelmed with her new living room
1049
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:38,567
and kitchen that she didn't even notice.
1050
00:38:38,567 --> 00:38:40,000
She had a brand new dining room.
1051
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,700
-I love it.
1052
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,100
I love it.
1053
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:47,100
To be able to put the stone up the wall.
1054
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,900
I wouldn't have never thought of that.
1055
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,066
The kitchen really is the heart of the home,
1056
00:38:51,066 --> 00:38:53,800
but all of these spaces are set up
1057
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,600
to surround with loved ones
1058
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,667
and have those moments and laughter
1059
00:38:57,667 --> 00:38:58,600
and all of that stuff.
1060
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,600
That's what we wanted, is to make sure
1061
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,700
that you can feel connected no matter where you are.
1062
00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:05,433
Oh, wow.
1063
00:39:06,567 --> 00:39:08,200
Do you feel the difference in the air?
1064
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,367
Yes.
1065
00:39:09,367 --> 00:39:13,000
We have put in an entirely new HVAC system.
1066
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,300
All new ducting, everything's been sealed tight.
1067
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:18,100
It's super-efficient.
1068
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:21,066
But most importantly, the air quality is top-notch.
1069
00:39:21,066 --> 00:39:24,166
In fact, it's about 100 times better than it was before.
1070
00:39:24,166 --> 00:39:25,467
We have UV filters.
1071
00:39:25,467 --> 00:39:27,066
We have everything to make sure
1072
00:39:27,066 --> 00:39:29,166
that Sabah is gonna be healthy and happy.
1073
00:39:30,667 --> 00:39:32,734
Okay. You guys gonna make me cry...
1074
00:39:35,166 --> 00:39:38,166
because that was the most important thing to me.
1075
00:39:38,166 --> 00:39:39,600
I mean, this is beautiful
1076
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,333
and I love every bit of it, but...
1077
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,867
her health has always been challenging, you know?
1078
00:39:46,867 --> 00:39:50,900
And that means more to me
1079
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:54,667
than anything because those are some of my sleepless nights.
1080
00:39:54,667 --> 00:39:57,800
To know that you chose me for this
1081
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,200
and to give me something that I had sleepless nights about.
1082
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,867
And now I can come in here, bring her here.
1083
00:40:04,867 --> 00:40:05,867
I thank you guys.
1084
00:40:05,867 --> 00:40:08,700
I really appreciate you for doing it.
1085
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:11,767
I'm overwhelmed. I mean, I'm just--
1086
00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:13,166
It shows how much this one loves you.
1087
00:40:13,166 --> 00:40:14,166
Yeah.
1088
00:40:14,867 --> 00:40:17,567
-Thank you. -Aw.
1089
00:40:17,567 --> 00:40:20,033
I'm sure I've been in so many of Vonda's prayers.
1090
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:21,467
You know what I mean?
1091
00:40:21,467 --> 00:40:24,266
To be honest and so many times,
1092
00:40:24,266 --> 00:40:26,467
so it's a way of giving to her
1093
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:29,667
because she does do a lot and has done a lot for me.
1094
00:40:29,667 --> 00:40:33,266
This is why we do what we do, to share what we do
1095
00:40:33,266 --> 00:40:35,000
with people who we love
1096
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,100
and who are always loving on other people.
1097
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:39,467
We have some guests.
1098
00:40:39,467 --> 00:40:40,834
Come.
1099
00:40:42,567 --> 00:40:44,767
Oh, this is different different.
1100
00:40:47,166 --> 00:40:48,734
Hey.
1101
00:40:49,667 --> 00:40:52,000
Oh, we got a island. Wow.
1102
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,166
I mean, this doesn't even look like the same house.
1103
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:56,266
-Yeah. -And then the air is so mom.
1104
00:40:56,266 --> 00:40:58,000
-Oh, it's so... Oh, yeah. -Isn't it so mom?
1105
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,066
Sabah's reaction was incredible.
1106
00:41:00,066 --> 00:41:01,400
First it was visual
1107
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,567
and then when we started talking
1108
00:41:02,567 --> 00:41:04,500
about how we changed all the HVAC,
1109
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:06,467
all the ducts, we changed everything.
1110
00:41:06,467 --> 00:41:10,066
Well, that hit home real hard for Sabah.
1111
00:41:10,066 --> 00:41:12,100
So there's been times I would be in the hospital
1112
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:13,667
and I'll look up and she's standing there
1113
00:41:13,667 --> 00:41:17,266
when she's supposed to be on set in New York somewhere,
1114
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:19,567
and she's here and she's looking at me
1115
00:41:19,567 --> 00:41:21,066
and I'm like, "What are you doing here?"
1116
00:41:21,066 --> 00:41:23,000
She's like, "What do you mean?
1117
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,867
You are sick. I'm gonna be here for you."
1118
00:41:25,867 --> 00:41:29,367
And I've always wanted to give her the world.
1119
00:41:29,367 --> 00:41:32,667
I've wanted to give her as much as I possibly could,
1120
00:41:32,667 --> 00:41:36,367
but because of my health, I'm not able to give her
1121
00:41:36,367 --> 00:41:38,400
everything that I want.
1122
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,800
So when Regina came with this opportunity,
1123
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,300
I said, absolutely.
1124
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:45,266
I said my anxiety isn't built for this
1125
00:41:45,266 --> 00:41:47,367
but we're gonna do it.
1126
00:41:47,367 --> 00:41:50,767
Regina gave me the ability
1127
00:41:50,767 --> 00:41:54,166
to give my mom what I've always wanted to give her.
1128
00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:56,600
You gave birth to me twice.
1129
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,166
You are my bone marrow transplant donor.
1130
00:42:00,166 --> 00:42:01,667
You take care of me.
1131
00:42:01,667 --> 00:42:03,700
You take care of everybody.
1132
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:07,467
And it drains me every single day
1133
00:42:07,467 --> 00:42:10,266
knowing that I can't do for you what you do for me.
1134
00:42:10,266 --> 00:42:14,266
So even though I can't take credit for all of this,
1135
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,400
I'm happy that you could finally get
1136
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,600
a little bit of what you give out.
1137
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,767
For her to want to give to me
1138
00:42:24,767 --> 00:42:26,567
and for her to say that...
1139
00:42:30,667 --> 00:42:32,567
that means everything.
1140
00:42:32,567 --> 00:42:35,500
One, two, three.
1141
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:39,500
It was just an eye-opener to know that,
1142
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:43,100
you know, no matter what we do
1143
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:46,700
and how we do it, there's blessings.
1144
00:42:46,700 --> 00:42:48,166
Now you guys get in here. Come on all of us.
1145
00:42:48,166 --> 00:42:49,767
Now we all gotta get in.
1146
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:51,266
-All right. -Everybody get in.
1147
00:42:51,266 --> 00:42:53,367
-Now we're in it. -All right. You ready?
1148
00:42:53,367 --> 00:42:56,266
Everyone say air-conditioning.
1149
00:42:56,266 --> 00:42:58,000
Air-conditioning.
1149
00:42:59,305 --> 00:43:59,164
