-[Danielle] Y'all ready?

[Danielle coughs]

[whispers] Hey, can you see me?

Hey, it's Danielle.

I'm hiding outside the Respres house.

The family is leaving for the day

to go to their art studio.

While they're out, we're gonna go in there

and we're gonna transform this house

in just one day.

[Vernicia] You got the box?

You got everything, Sydney?

-[Lorigan] Yeah.

-[Sydney] It's right here.

[Danielle whispers] Here they come.

Don't say nothing.

-[Vernicia] This is gonna be fun.

-[Lorigan] Yeah! Get in. Get in.

[Danielle] They're in the car.

Don't let them see you.

Oh, hot diggity dog.

They are gone! All right, y'all!

Come on, come on, come on!

-["I'm A Psycho" by Clooney playing]

-[Erik] Copy that! Let's roll!

[Danielle] Erik, get the crew!

It's time to go!

You can run

But you'll never get away from me! ♪

Moving in, moving in, come on!

-[Adair] Whoo!

-[Erik] Let's go, baby! Come on!

Let me get out of these woods

before a snake bites my butt.

[intense song playing]

I got fire in my soul

I got style, rock and roll ♪

Ain't no filler, all k*ller

You're gonna say my name tonight ♪

Whoo! ♪

[song continues playing]

Vernicia's art supplies

are all over the house.

[Adair] We got

furniture to get out of here.

-[Erik] Let's go, buddy!

-We need some more help in the kitchen.

[Erik] There we go.

Whoop! Whoop!

[Nick] Please don't

throw spices over my head.

[both yelling playfully]

-[Paige] This is so crazy.

-[Erik] Come on, man.

Nice grab.

[upbeat music playing]

Art and creativity

cannot flourish in clutter.

Yeah. Yeah, totally.

[Danielle] While, we're taking over

the Respres family home,

my accomplice, Tracy,

is keeping the family away all day.

They applied for a makeover show,

but no one told them we picked them.

Whoo! Sounds like my joints.

-There's stuff on top of stuff.

-[Paige] On top of stuff.

-We have no time, we gotta get going.

-[Paige] Yes. Let's do it.

We met the old-fashioned way on MySpace.

[laughing]

Love it. Love it.

[Lorigan] We have Christian, he's six,

and Sydney just turned 18.

I come from a very creative family.

My mom's an artist,

I'm a dancer since three years old,

and my dad is a fashion designer.

I like to draw and play video games.

I work for Habitat for Humanity.

And so I'm very

passionate about that work,

but I also have a small business

where I teach art classes.

We are first-time homeowners.

It was a big thing for us.

[Vernicia]

When I was younger, it wasn't always easy.

My mom moved around a lot,

and we actually were homeless for a while.

So there was a lot of instability.

Same background,

moved around a lot when I was young.

And a dream of mine

was raising a family in one spot.

[Vernicia] So, really wanted

a safe place for our kids.

But we did not realize

how much work it would be.

[Lorigan] We thought

we found the American dream.

Then when we got here,

we were like, "Hmm. Okay."

-Right.

-"We're not really sure where to start."

The home is ugh, kind of outdated.

I'm trying to be nice about it,

but it really has to be redone.

[Lorigan] The house was built in 1988,

and it still has resemblance

of that late '80s and early '90s in here.

Okay, you know our stove

Hold on, let me turn the fan on.

Lots of crazy things

going on in this kitchen.

The thing that shocked me the most

is the bathroom in the kitchen.

That should be ill*gal.

The dishwasher definitely has a mind

of its own, and this stove been burnt.

So it would be great

to make it more efficient in here.

[rock music playing]

We love our mom's cooking

and we want to enjoy it in a nice space.

But any possible space

that is free in the house

will be filled up with her artwork.

I would like to have my dining room back.

[Vernicia] Then we

have this sunken living room.

This room is extremely dark,

and there aren't a lot of windows.

So it's hard to do anything functional.

They're always looking out for others,

and they so deserve to walk into this home

and feel the love

that they give everyone else.

-The family, love, the house, not so much.

-[Nick laughs]

I love the house,

it just needs to be updated.

Yeah, so right now

you don't love the house.

-And on that note

-Let's get started.

[Nick] All right, so number one,

we are painting this house dark green,

which is more bold in color.

We just want it

to have a little bit more flair.

Nice.

[Nick] One thing you'll also notice

is on the right side,

we have a giant tree in front of

what I believe is the front door.

We're gonna trim the tree,

but we need to define an entryway.

So as we move over,

we are now going to make

this middle area of the house

the front entrance.

I think this pergola makes a fantastic

first impression when you first walk in.

All right, let's dip into the kitchen.

-[Paige] Oh!

-[Adair] The kitchen.

This is where I think

we do some real damage.

All-new cabinets, all-new countertops,

that includes appliances and everything.

But, remember, there used to be the entry

to a bathroom right here.

-That's totally still there.

-[Erik] Oh!

What we've done, because it was really

weird to have a bathroom in your kitchen,

we've given it a secret entrance.

So if you pull that back,

it's your entry to the bathroom.

I think that's super dope.

I really like that idea.

Adair, is that purple on the cabinets?

-It's aubergine, actually.

-Ooh!

Remember, you saw Vernicia

wear all different types of purple.

It looked like it was her favorite color,

and we wanted to hint at that

in the design that we propose.

-Love it.

-Moving right along.

This room is their current entry.

This kinda looks like

my grandma's basement.

How do you even fix this?

So, first off, we light a match.

-[laughs] Right? Some gasoline.

-[laughs] Some gasoline!

-[Erik] It's not that bad, it's workable.

-No, this is this is pretty

Maybe don't commit arson.

[Adair] We've changed

the coloring of the walls

from it being so

kinda drab and '80s-focused

to a black and white theme.

[Erik] Brilliant, love it.

Last, but certainly not least.

-Check this out. Paige, take it away.

-[Nick and Adair exclaim]

-[Paige] Okay, so

-Wait, where'd those windows come from?

This family coins themselves

as a creative family,

and that's exactly what my family is.

My dad is a photographer,

my mom is a painter,

and growing up,

my sister and I were surrounded

by my dad's art as well as my mom's art

in our entire home.

Since they don't use this

as their living room space,

it would be really fun to transform that

into the special project,

which is going to be an art studio.

So we're going to create a space

that art can live within this house

and not take over the rest of the house.

Paige, I love this! Wow!

[Erik] I love this idea.

[Paige] My biggest concern

is these windows.

They're paramount for the art studio.

We wanted to create light,

so that everything within the art studio

is visible.

But we're not only going to have to cut

huge holes in the side of this house,

but we also have to lift those windows.

-It's going to be challenging.

-I'm gonna second that concern.

It's the windows,

the actual physical install for me.

They are very fragile.

They can't get dented,

they can't get scratched,

they can't get cracked, can't get broken.

So there's a lot going on there.

Logistically, this is going to

be a difficult thing to figure out.

[clock ticking]

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

Go ahead and pull this one off, Paige.

-[Paige] Oh!

-[Erik] Whoo!

-[worker] I'm out of the way.

-[yelling] Whoa!

-[Erik] That's the stuff!

-[exclaims]

-[Erik] That's the stuff.

-Oh, my God.

[Adair] All right, I think I got this one.

Pull it. Just pull it. Yank it.

Ooh!

[Erik] We gotta get these

holes cut out quick. Let's go.

[shrieking] Whoo!

-[Erik] Come on, keep going.

-[yelling]

[Erik] That's the good stuff.

-Good stuff.

-And that's how you bust through!

Boom! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[Erik] Hold on.

-Hold on, we gotta cut the bottom now.

-Oh, okay.

All right. Now, we gotta finish

cutting out these windows.

Okay. We're gonna have faith in you, Erik.

-Thank you.

-You don't have much time, though.

-[Erik] Got a lot on this board.

-[Paige] Wow.

-[Adair] Yes.

-[Nick] Whole lot.

This is the thing

I'm worried about, y'all.

The windows in the art room.

The glass needs to start going in

at 10:30, but before we can even do that,

we got a lot of stuff in here

we gotta move out.

Got a lot of demo to do.

Any time we're doing that demo,

we know there's a chance

there's something under the floor,

in the walls that we don't like.

-Yep.

-We gotta take those walls out,

we've gotta put new headers in,

we've gotta reframe those windows out.

So hopefully this doesn't get pushed back.

But then once we

actually start to install that,

like, that could cause real issues.

And it's not gonna delay anything,

because this is just gonna get to a point

where it's in the red

and just doesn't get done.

[clock ticking]

["We Hit Harder" by Joy Enriquez playing]

Y'all hit hard, we hit harder

Y'all hit hard, we hit harder ♪

Let's finish cleaning off

these studs right here if we can.

Make a couple of quick cuts

and then we'll just jack it out.

[Danielle] Over at another art studio,

my accomplice, Tracy,

is keeping the Respres family busy

making boxes of art supplies

to donate to underserved communities.

Dip it in there.

Press straight down. Like that. Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

Hey, Nick, can I get your help in here?

All right. Let's move this piece in.

[Danielle] Gentlemen!

Gentlemen, what is going on?

[Adair] We're just moving

a couple of pieces into the kitchen.

[Danielle] All right, I see.

And we're modernizing the kitchen.

All-new appliances, stainless steel.

They're gonna have

a beautiful tile backsplash.

How about the color?

This is the color for the cab

That's what I kinda

wanted to talk to you about.

-Feels a little dated to me.

-This color?

What do you mean? Aubergine!

This is aubergine!

-This is in.

-Aubergine sounds old.

It's fancy purple.

-[Danielle] Fancy purple.

-Who doesn't like purple?

-You don't like purple?

-I love purple.

[Adair] I was gonna say.

I spent a lot of time

loving the color purple. [chuckles]

Think about the backsplash

as just, like, a beautiful white marble.

That, next to this aubergine,

really complements really well.

It's gonna be gorgeous.

-Sir, we have so much more to do.

-[Nick] All right.

Yeah, y'all go work.

I'm gonna take a second

and think about this aubergine

color.

Nah, I don't know, man.

[intense music playing]

[Nick] I want as much light

coming into that art studio as possible.

-[worker] Right.

-Cut off some of these side branches,

anything over the house that

could potentially damage those windows.

I want to get rid of all that. All right?

-[worker] Got it.

-Let's go.

[intense music continues]

-[worker] Got it.

-[Nick] Whoo-hoo!

Let's go. There we go. Beautiful.

You gonna work on that second one?

-[worker] Yep.

-Get that one set.

Oh, like a glove!

So with these frames right now,

what we're doing

is essentially setting in the sill plate,

and then that's gonna drain any water that

gets into the frame out to the outside.

Okay, Erik, I see lighting fixtures,

but I do not see any windows!

[Erik] So, here's the situation.

When we were in the warehouse,

Paige and I were testing

different ways to get this glass in

as efficiently as possible.

We had to get this glass up on the

scaffolding and then set in to place.

Takes a lot of manpower

and takes extra time.

We've gotta practice getting

these glass panels into the house.

And we need to check

how long it's gonna take,

we need to check how much manpower

we actually need to get this done.

-And we need to do it safely.

-Yes.

So we've got a single pane here.

We're gonna attempt to install this

in the faux wall that I've built there.

Y'all are gonna

build the scaffold and the ramp.

In the meantime, I'm gonna be on

the inside framing out the window itself.

Let's get it done as quickly as we can

while staying safe.

[intense music playing]

[Paige] I think we underestimated

how much time this would take.

[Adair] Yeah, I think so, by a lot.

[Erik] Tilt it back a bit.

Get her about right here.

[tool clinking]

[Erik] You want more time?

One, two, three.

All right. Careful, easy.

-You ready?

-[worker 1] Yes.

-Going up.

-[worker 2] All right.

-[Erik] Nice and easy.

-[Paige] How's it feel? Heavy?

-[Erik] It's not light. It's not light.

-[worker] Trust this ramp you built us.

-[Erik] On your pace, Randall.

-All right.

-[all strain]

-[Erik] All right.

Watch your fingers down below.

-[staple g*n clacks]

-[Erik whistles]

-[Paige] Hey.

-[Adair] Isn't it gorgeous?

It is beautiful, but lifting this thing

up that ramp, three grown men.

That thing is not light.

And the actual pane we have

on the day of is twice as heavy.

On top of that, that took way too long.

And that's for one window,

we've got five to install on the day.

We don't have five hours to give to this,

and we don't have ten people

for five hours to give to this.

[Paige] That's what I was

just telling Adair.

We need those guys other places

throughout the house and it's not

it's not smart task management.

So we found these folks who have a robot

that's actually gonna pick the glass up

for us and bring it up into the frame.

It's gonna take two guys to install this,

versus say eight to ten.

-Yeah.

-And it's gonna take half the time.

Because we don't

have to set up scaffolding,

we don't have to make sure

that folks are inside doing the same job.

-Like, we've got all of this.

-Okay. Less talking, more moving.

-Let's groove. Let's do.

-Less talking, more moving.

-Let's get it off the truck.

-Let's get this baby off the truck.

Okay, we're moving, we're moving.

[Erik] This essentially picks up

the glass, drives the glass right over,

and that head has four different

suction cups on it

and it can rotate on all three axes.

[Danielle] Okay, it's going on.

-It's sticking. Sucker that baby up.

-[Erik] We're there. Come on now.

[robot whirring]

[Danielle] Oh

-Okay, it's moving. It's grooving.

-[Erik] All right. It's go time, people.

[Paige] Okay, it looks like it's

-[Danielle] Okay, we're gonna get it.

-[Erik] Here we go.

-Come on!

-[Danielle] It's looking good.

-Yes!

-[Paige] Okay.

[Paige] Clear out, guys.

We've got a window coming through.

-We have a window coming through, y'all.

-[Erik] Got a window.

We got a window.

So, guys, we're gonna drop right in here.

Okay?

[tense music playing]

Once we get this figured out,

they can work,

and we can do what we need to do.

[Danielle] Looking good. Looking good.

Don't let go of that suction.

Do not press the wrong button. All right?

[tense music continues]

[Erik] I got about a quarter inch up top.

[worker] We're clear

down here on the bottom.

-Do you want it?

-[Erik] Come on.

[worker] Put it in there. There you go.

[all exclaiming happily]

-[Erik] Come on! Gimme that energy, baby!

-[Danielle] Good job!

-Good job.

-[Erik] Whoo!

All right, let's go get the second one.

-Let's do it!

-Let's keep going! Let's go!

That's not bad.

[Erik] Keep moving. All right.

-[worker] Here it comes. Got it.

-[Nick] Whoo-hoo!

And we're cutting down trees.

[Erik] Nicholas,

you sure this is the ideal time to, uh

-Nick is cutting down

-[glass shattering]

Oh!

Shiznayee ♪

-[Paige] No way, no way, no way.

-What?

-[worker] What happened?

-[Nick] What?

-[Danielle] Oh, my Jeez Louise.

-[Paige] No way.

[Danielle] Oh

[dramatic music playing]

[Erik] Guys, we don't have another one.

We don't have any backups.

[Danielle] So

Okay, um

Oh, no.

Y'all, we cannot let this slow us down.

We have to get this out of the way,

work on getting the next three up,

and we'll figure this out as we go.

That's all we can do. We can't get down.

-Go, go, go.

-I gotta go make a call.

[Paige] I am literally speechless.

[Danielle groans]

-[Erik] Tim.

-Yeah.

-One of the glasses fell off the truck.

-You're kidding.

No. We gotta get another one here

as soon as possible.

Like, what can we do?

You know how long it takes

to get one-inch, insulated,

low-E, coated glass, tempered?

-It's quite a process.

-What, like How long?

Uh, you're probably looking

at four to six weeks.

We gotta stay positive.

We really don't have time

to get in our head about it.

Do you have anybody you can call?

What can we do?

-We can't just have an open window.

-I'll take a, uh Let me make a call.

I can't promise you anything.

-I can only try.

-Make a call. See what happens.

-All right. Thank you.

-I'll do it.

[tense music playing]

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

All right,

my entry wall's coming together.

-[Vernicia] Thank you.

-You're welcome.

[Danielle] The Respres family

is packing up the art kits

and are gonna pass them out later today.

-[Christian] And I deliver to people.

-[Vernicia] Yeah.

[Danielle] Tracy told them

she's running out for more boxes,

but she really came to see the house.

Hello!

-Hi, Tracy.

-Hello.

[Danielle] So talk to me.

What do you think about the new color?

Wow.

-It's gonna be nice.

-I know it's not done, you know.

I can visualize.

I think they're gonna feel like

this is their dream home.

-Yes, the modern dream home, baby.

-Absolutely.

This is exciting for me,

because when you meet this family,

you immediately fall in love.

Okay.

[laughs] They have just big hearts.

They're always doing for others.

So Vernicia has these art kits.

And she actually does art therapy.

We're working on a project now to donate,

like, her art kits

-Okay.

-all these relaxation techniques,

and it's gonna

be donated to women in need.

-That's beautiful.

-Yeah.

And, you know, it's people like that,

that to me deserve a blessing like this.

-[Danielle] Oh, yes.

-Yeah.

-And they're first-time homeowners, right?

-Yes.

To get here is

is just, you know, a miracle to them.

-That's so great!

-'Cause they didn't see this growing up.

[Danielle] Mmm-hmm.

One of the things that I always did

was dream, growing up,

to have a big home of my own.

[squealing and laughing]

Growing up not knowing

where you're gonna be

from one day to the next is really hard.

Especially when you're not

in really a safe environment.

Mom, get back here!

[Lorigan] Having somewhere solid

that my kids can grow up and play.

To have that coming to fruition

is a blessing.

[Vernicia] We know how important it is

for our children to have stability.

No matter what, we are gonna work so hard

to make sure that our children

don't struggle like we have.

A lot of love in the house.

[Sydney] I see them

at the peak of their success,

and it's very inspiring knowing

that they didn't always have what I have.

[Vernicia] I hope this

is a gathering space for generations.

It's about family, passing on a legacy,

and of course,

creating a safe space for our children.

Make sure you keep Vernicia and the rest

of the family away from the house.

-Please.

-I'm going to try my best.

-[laughs]

-No, you will!

[Nick] Let's get this door in.

[dramatic music playing]

[Adair] We gotta shimmy it over.

Ah

-Okay, that looks pretty good. Right?

-Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

I really hope this glass gets here soon,

'cause we do not have much time.

-[Nick] Any update from Erik on that?

-No, I'm a little worried.

[Nick] Well, at least

they'll have a nice front yard.

-[laughs]

-[Danielle] Yes!

The truck is here. I just need plants

off the truck as fast as possible, okay?

-Yeah!

-Sounds good?

[upbeat music continues]

-[Nick] Brighten that up.

-[Danielle] Yeah, these are nice looking.

Aren't those fun? These are perennials,

so they'll come back every year.

-When is the best time to plant these?

-Usually people say spring.

-'Cause you think of spring with plants.

-Yeah.

-But fall is actually the best.

-Ooh.

If you plant in the fall,

it's a bit cooler.

The roots get to develop, and they

come back even stronger in the spring.

[Danielle] Nice.

Look at me, going in.

Look at that beauty, honey.

-Give them words of encouragement.

-Her hair looks good.

Girl, where you get your hair done at?

-[worker] Uh

-[Erik exhales heavily]

-[Nick] FYI, we got a tree coming in.

-[Paige] We do?

We're gonna roll it in.

Just don't fall in the hole.

Good.

All right, watch yourself.

[all exclaim]

[Nick] Hey, not bad.

First time rolling

a tree down a hill, right?

Now we're just gonna fill it in.

[Danielle] All right,

let's get it done, y'all.

[Erik] Dude.

[Nick] The pickaxe makes it easy

to get it in here and pull it out. See?

[Erik] Guys, we got glass!

-[Paige] We have glass?

-[all cheering]

-How the hell did you pull this off?

-[Tim] We got real lucky here.

They already had this special low-E

from another job,

so we could get this fabricated.

You are a life saver right now, my man.

This is such good news.

[tense music playing]

[Erik sighs]

It's ready to go.

-We're just waiting on this one.

-[Paige] Oh! This is crazy.

[Erik] I know.

[Danielle] Doing good. Doing good.

How am I sideways here?

[Erik] Oh, my God.

Real close on that top corner. Suction me.

Hold, hold, hold.

There you go.

Oh, man!

Whoo!

Thank God.

I'm spent.

[upbeat music playing]

So each gallery wall's gonna get

about 15 to 20 pieces.

So between 30 and 40 pieces

is what we need to pick.

[Danielle] Okay, cool.

She has painting on top

of painting on top of painting.

Yes, she does! This is crazy.

-[Adair] Look at this piece.

-It is pretty dope.

-The only thing, it's a little frisky.

-Where's the friskiness?

His hand is up her thing.

[Adair] She just didn't paint the hand!

I'd interpret it as a beautiful couple,

as Adam and Eve.

And Adam doesn't have any eyes.

So because he has no eyes,

he didn't know where his hand was going.

You know, and he was laying down,

and he's just like, "Can I have a grape?"

Instead he found something else.

That's all.

-Okay, all of that.

-Yeah.

[intense music playing]

-Here we go.

-[worker] Watch out.

[Erik] Good stuff.

-So, Adair, first of all, this kitchen

-Isn't it fire?

-[Danielle] It is so dope!

-And don't you love the aubergine?

-Look at you. Now, you love it.

-I love it.

We like all of them.

They feel like they go together.

-I don't know about this.

-The dinosaur does not go.

-One of these does not belong, right?

-No.

[Erik] Careful.

[thuds]

[worker] Well

[Erik] Here, slide it in.

-[dramatic note playing]

-[Erik] Ahh!

-[Danielle] Somebody

-What was that?

-Erik! What just happened?

-[Danielle] What's wrong?

-[Adair] What happened?

-Did you hurt yourself?

[Adair] Oh, my God! What?

-Erik.

-[Danielle] Oh, no.

-[Adair] Erik!

-[Erik] I know. The ramp

Somebody put the ramp up.

And without thinking about it, I decided

we just needed to get it done quick.

We don't have time for this.

We don't have another slab?

-[Erik] We've got nothing.

-Hey, Justin.

Hey.

Hey, it's Adair. How are you?

All right, sir. What's going on?

I have an emergency.

A piece of slab that's supposed to be

for this kitchen counter

just broke coming off the truck.

And I'm wondering

if you have another slab.

I know it's crazy.

Um, you definitely need to

Come on up here, um, and then

make sure you

bring a piece of whatever broke.

And, uh, we'll try

to match it up when we get here.

I can't go. I have to stay here.

Erik, can you go?

If I have to.

We just need it to be really fast,

so I'm gonna send him with the piece now.

All right. I'll be waiting.

All right, thank you.

[worker] This graining.

That graining you're gonna need.

-[Erik] This one right here?

-[worker] Yeah.

-I'll be back.

-[tense music playing]

[Adair] Insane.

[Danielle] I have some aggression too,

can I do it?

[laughing]

Not a time for jokes!

Not a time for jokes!

We gotta get this done.

[upbeat music playing]

[Adair] Let's get everything

out of here as quickly as possible.

[upbeat music continues]

-[Adair] Lower.

-[worker] Lower, good.

Coming around.

Two, three, and up. There we go.

[Adair] Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[Paige] All these chairs

go in here and they're mismatched?

[Adair] Yes, remember,

when we first got into the house,

the house was really eclectic.

Right? Lots of color and expl*si*n.

So we want to keep

some of that funk in the house.

It'll look good amongst

all the beautiful artwork.

[Paige] Love.

[Erik] Oh, my God, Justin, dude

You know about the countertop, right?

You talked to Adair?

We gotta match this,

like, as close as possible.

[Justin] No, it's off, man.

I don't think it's gonna work.

-This is too white.

-[Erik] Okay, what else we got?

-[Justin] This one right here might be it.

-This one?

-[Justin] Yeah.

-Okay.

-That looks pretty close.

-[Justin] Uh

[upbeat music playing]

-[Paige] Have you spoken to Erik?

-No.

Think he's still at the slab yard.

[suspenseful music playing]

-We'll get it as soon as we can.

-I know. I trust you, man.

[Adair] We're trying to figure out

what else is gonna go on this wall.

We need to pick another

maybe seven pieces for this side.

-Okay, seven pieces.

-Yeah, all right? Cool.

-[Nick] Let's place it here.

-[intense music playing]

-[Adair] Paige, you got it?

-[worker] Higher and more to the right.

-[Paige] Coming up.

-[worker] Keep going. There.

All the way up. Yeah.

[Nick] Excuse us, plants coming through.

Plants in transit.

Any time there's an

awkward space like this with a window,

-just fill it with plants.

-[Paige] I love it.

[Adair clapping] Where is Erik?

We don't have time for these problems.

Did you see this? This is it.

I'm telling you,

if we put a piece of wood down,

-paint it the same color, it'll pass for

-Design people.

-[worker] No!

-[Nick] Does it look better than this?

-I mean, yes.

-Anything will look better than empty.

[intense music playing]

Wanna layer another piece there?

-See how that looks.

-[worker] Try it here.

Okay, I am really

not looking forward to this call.

But I have to call Tracy

and see if she can spare some time.

-Hello?

-Hey, Tracy, how you doing?

-Hey, Danielle, great! How are you?

-I've had better moments in life.

Listen, my team, unfortunately

I don't know if

it's something in the water,

but they have slippery hands,

and they have,

-unfortunately, busted a countertop, so

-What?

I know, I know, I know. Okay.

If you could please just help me

spare two hours with the family?

-That would be amazing.

-Two hours?

The most I can give you

is probably an hour.

Okay, okay, an hour works.

I will take an hour. An hour works.

Okay, I got you.

-Thank you so much, Tracy.

-Okay, Danielle.

-All right, thanks.

-Bye.

What?

[Paige] There you go.

Give me another couple of pieces. Yeah.

[Danielle] Oh, my gosh.

-You love it?

-I love it.

It's great, but we're really low on time.

[tense music playing]

[Adair] This looks a little

This is insane. Where is Erik?

How's it going, you guys?

We have less than 30 minutes.

Less than 30?

[Adair] Let's figure out

the rest of this piece, I feel like

-Yes! What happened?

-We got a piece that matched.

-Where is it?

-He's gonna be right behind me.

It's getting here as fast as it can.

We're gonna be okay.

-How long does the install take?

-Put it in place, epoxy, it'll be done.

In the meantime,

just artwork needs to go up.

-Let me grab something.

-Okay, thank you.

[dramatic music playing]

-[Tracy] All right, girl. Talk soon.

-[Vernicia] Thank you. Bye, guys.

Family's on the way.

There's still no slab here.

[Danielle] More up to Yeah, right there.

-[Erik] What?

-Top's here!

We gotta work on the counter.

Somebody get on those.

-[Paige] Dust pans Oh, slab's here?

-[Nick] Oh, yay!

-[Erik] Let's go, buddy.

-[Danielle] Yes! Yes!

-Big money shot now.

-[Paige] Whoo! Yes!

-[Adair] What are we talking? Yes!

-[Erik] Good man, good man.

-[screams] Yes!

-[Paige] I cannot believe this.

-[Vernicia] Did y'all have a good time?

-[Christian] Yup!

[Sydney] The turtle painting

turned out good, Christian.

[Christian] Thanks.

[tense music playing]

[Paige] Good job, Erik! It's looking good.

-All right everybody, five minutes.

-[Adair] Five minutes?

I'mma need everybody out of here

in five minutes. No lie.

-[Adair] Here we go. Finish.

-[Danielle] Come on.

[Paige] Okay. Go.

[Adair] All right, is it in?

-[Erik] Yes!

-[Justin] That's it.

-[Adair] It's in?

-[clapping]

If it doesn't dry, it's fine,

but it's here,

so finish your little touches

'cause I'm getting the family.

[Erik mutters]

I need everybody out of here, please.

[Adair] Okay, we have to go! Go! You guys!

Garbage, garbage, garbage.

Go, just finish, finish.

[tense music building]

Hello!

[Vernicia] Oh!

Can't show a beautiful house

with garbage everywhere.

-[Paige] Garbage on the floor.

-You got some?

-Okay.

-[Paige] Thank goodness you found one.

[Danielle squeals]

Somebody's waving at us.

Please just don't hit me.

-Looks good. Sweep in here.

-Check that room.

[singsong] Hi!

-Oh, my God, what the heck?

-[all exclaim]

I was looking at her.

-[Lorigan] Whoa!

-[Sydney] Oh, my gosh.

-[Lorigan] No way.

-[Vernicia] Guys, this is beautiful!

-[uplifting music playing]

-[all laughing]

-Unlock the door. Oh, my God, hi!

-Hey!

-[Vernicia] Lorigan

-Come, come, come.

-Oh, my gosh, this is amazing. Christian.

-[Lorigan] Yes.

[Christian] It looks good.

[all laughing]

-[Vernicia] This is amazing.

-Just feeling it is like, "Whoa, man."

-[music winds down]

-That's the family! That's the family!

What are we gonna do? What?

Okay, we have to go.

I love the color. It's so beautiful.

-[Vernicia] I'm trying to process this.

-Oh, snap! Oh, I'm so sorry.

Whoop!

[Danielle] Our team members,

they have helped

-And they should've been out of the house.

-[laughing] Okay!

[Danielle] I told them y'all were coming

and to get out of the house.

Where did these people come from?

They dropped out the ceiling.

Exactly, in my mind

Okay, if two more people run out of here,

I'm running too. Right?

I heard a lot about you all from Tracy.

-[both] Yes.

-She's a friend?

-Yes.

-She's a great friend.

Now, what did Tracy tell y'all?

-[all] Nothing!

-Good!

Nothing! I should stop talking to her.

-Ahh!

-I'm like, "Tracy!"

It's hard to believe that

that was our house.

-I didn't know this was possible.

-[Danielle] Oh, yes.

[Vernicia] I couldn't

wrap my mind around it.

I really was trying to process it and

try to take in what was in front of us.

[Lorigan] I was just shocked.

I know my eyebrows was probably

up to here on my forehead. You know? So

[sighs] So I think y'all ready to go in.

-[Vernicia] You ready?

-[kids] Yes.

-Are y'all really ready?

-[all] Yes!

[Danielle] Okay.

-[Vernicia] All right.

-[all chattering excitedly]

[Sydney] Oh, my God.

[all exclaiming]

Actual doors.

[all] Whoa!

-[Lorigan] Wow.

-What is going on in here?

[Sydney] Whoa.

[triumphant music playing]

[Vernicia] Look at this table and rug.

-[all laughing]

-What?

-[Vernicia] This is amazing!

-[Sydney] This is a different house.

[triumphant music continues]

[Vernicia] What is going on here?

Oh, my God! What is this?

I literally was like,

"Where did everything go

and why is everything so beautiful?"

This seems like

so much more space in here.

Yeah, it does.

I love how they saved the wood.

This is so nice.

I was just blown away.

Everything is sleek, it's new.

It's bright. It's warm.

It just had creativity all over.

Oh, my gosh! Mom, look at your painting.

Oh, my goodness!

To see my artwork up on the wall

was amazing.

I was looking around like,

"What is going on?"

[laughing] "Somebody has curated my life,

um, and placed it on the wall."

So, amazing experience.

[Lorigan] Look at the marble on the table.

-Christian, what you think?

-I think it looks good.

[upbeat music playing]

[Christian] This is not our house.

[both] "This is not our house."

The dining room is now

just this refreshing, new space.

The marvelous big table.

So I'm excited to even get back in there

and share that.

-[Vernicia] Look at all this artwork.

-[Sydney] The kitchen! I'm about to cry.

[upbeat music playing]

-What is going on? This is crazy.

-[Sydney] Oh, my God.

[Vernicia] Look at the island.

-[Sydney] Right.

-Oh, wow.

-This purple

-This is one of my favorite colors.

-[Christian] Even have a new fridge.

-Right, a fridge.

-Amazing. Amazing.

-[Vernicia] What in the world?

You know, I really didn't have

enough space to prep and cook.

Double stove, I can lose my mind in here

and cook, like, everything at one time.

And now it's much more efficient.

Can't wait to really entertain and plan

my next epic meals.

Oh, my God,

I'm gonna have an endless supply

of breakfast scramble in the morning.

[Vernicia] Oh, my gosh.

Our What happened to our dungeon? What?

[uplifting music playing]

[both] You guys!

[Vernicia] Oh, man.

Whoa.

[Lorigan] This is

like a style-creative room!

Look at all your old art supply.

[Vernicia] I love this.

-Look at the light.

-Wow.

-[Christian] And now we can see outside.

-Yes!

Look at all the windows.

[Christian] Whoa!

I was like, "Whoa, the art room."

I think it looks cool and nice.

I was really happy for my mom.

Art is such a big part of our lives.

Her life, especially,

and now she has a really nice room,

so I'm really excited.

I'm so inspired by the light.

That's why I couldn't paint up here,

'cause it was too dark. Couldn't see.

[Lorigan] Oh, man.

-Y'all feeling it?

-[Vernicia] Oh, my gosh.

[laughs]

-This is so nice.

-[Sydney] Oh, wow.

-[Lorigan] Wow.

-[Christian] Isn't it?

[Vernicia] That was the most breathtaking,

beautiful, creative space.

I had never seen anything like it.

It was like nature was right in the room.

It was absolutely amazing.

It truly makes a difference

what you wake up to

and see every morning,

especially as creatives, you know?

Yes. We are definitely inspired

by the sunshine, so this is amazing

to have a whole other part

of the house to be creative.

This is it, the Respres legacy.

Yes!

Yes, this is the beginning of it for sure.

At the end of the day,

it's bigger than us.

It's about our kids

and leaving a legacy for them.

Because, you know,

of some of the instability in our past,

we've been working hard

to make sure that our children

don't struggle like we have.

We're gonna do

a lot of living in this home.

We always said this is our forever home.

So this made it even more possible for us.

-So excited.

-Yay!

Yay!

To have that good push forward,

so they can thrive

and be the creative beings that they are,

that just makes us so happy.

And we're excited,

and blessed, and grateful.

-This is one of my favorite colors, okay.

-This is this aubergine. It's fancy.

I'm pretty sure we didn't call it that.

It's a fancy word for eggplant,

which is a fancy word for purple.

[Vernicia] Purple. Okay.

-Gold trim? Yes.

-[Vernicia] I like this.

-Gold?

-Wait, wait, wait. Did you

Did you all look in here?

[kids] No.

Did you wanna take a peak?

-Yes, we'd like to. Yes, let's look.

-[Sydney] What's in here?

-[Sydney gasps] Oh, wow!

-[Vernicia] What? Oh, my goodness!

-How y'all do that?

-[all exclaiming]

-That's a secret entrance.

-How can we forget about our own house?

-I actually forgot it was there.

-Well, we didn't.

How do we forget about an entire bathroom?

I don't know how that's possible.

That's how well it's hidden, though.

It's inconspicuous. I was like,

"Oh, my God. Look at this."

I was so curious

what y'all would think, though.

That is a good idea. I'd never

If I want to hide from the family,

guess where I'm going.

-[laughing]

-And I can lock it.

[chuckling]

-Meet our lovely team!

-[Paige] Hi, guys!

[Erik] How we doing, friends?

-[Vernicia] Hi!

-[Lorigan] What's happening?

-[Danielle] This is the Respres family.

-[Vernicia] Who to hug first?

[Lorigan] Thank you.

-[Paige] Do you love it?

-Yes, it's so nice. Yes.

-I literally wanted to paint.

-[Erik] Yeah?

Like, right now. [laughs]

[Sydney] The kitchen is amazing.

I love that purple.

Their wedding was purple and gold,

that specific shade.

-Wow!

-Yeah.

I just feel like now when we wake up,

we're gonna have something

to look forward to.

We're gonna go downstairs

to our beautiful house,

and this it's just gonna be,

you know, peaceful.

[Danielle] You wanna

roll on the grass with me?

[laughing] Okay.

[both squealing]

I love our new house. I love the color.

And I love the dining room.

You want to eat your pancakes in there?

Look out the window?

Yeah, I do.

We had such a lovely time in your home,

but, unfortunately,

it's time for me and the team

to bounce out of here.

[Adair] Big hearts.

[overlapping chatter]

I heard a wise person say,

"You have to crack a few eggs

to make a good omelet."

Well, we cracked a few things

and broke a few things in their house,

but somehow we were able

to make a beautiful space for them.

Got myself thinking about eggs and bacon.

Oh, that's I'm hungry. I'm out.

This love ♪

Tell me, what's there to lose? ♪

[Lorigan] The house feels like

it's alive and vibrant.

Everything is like a heartbeat now.

A lot of creativity is just running

through the house. That's our energy.

It's amazing.

This, like,

changes the course of our lives,

and there are so many people

that were involved in this.

I firmly believe, like,

when you work really hard,

and you put good energy out there,

and try to help people,

good things come back to you.

So having this experience,

it has empowered us to go forth

and try to impact others

with the blessing that we received.
