00:00
Welcome to luxury land, guys.
00:01
Wow.
00:02
What is this?
00:03
Heaven.
00:03
[LAUGHTER]
00:05
People all want luxury, but they don't want
00:07
to pay the luxurious price tag.
00:08
I want the quality of a yacht life
00:10
for the price of a pontoon.
00:11
We got you.
00:14
My name's Michelle, and I've designed
00:16
some of the most expensive homes in the country.
00:19
But my small-town roots have taught me one simple truth.
00:22
Everyone deserves luxury.
00:23
Are you kidding me?
00:25
This is amazing.
00:26
This is overwhelming.
00:28
So my team and I have figured out how to get that luxury
00:30
for less.
00:31
Maybe we can repurpose something,
00:33
recover it.
00:33
You're getting a lot of room.
00:35
You can get this tint paint for like $0.25 a gallon.
00:37
Really?
00:38
Luxury doesn't fix you.
00:39
All right.
00:39
This is a scratch and dent.
00:40
All we have to do is change that one panel.
00:42
You got your ring?
00:43
I want the money where we touch.
00:45
This looks really expensive.
00:47
What does that mean?
00:48
We don't have a lot of money.
00:49
Do you want to take to the good life, but not break the bank?
00:52
No pressure.
00:53
Oh my god.
00:55
I need a hug.
00:56
[LAUGHTER]
00:57
Oh my gosh.
00:59
[MUSIC PLAYING]
01:02
So we're meeting Marsha and Jeff.
01:10
OK.
01:10
And they got the cutest dog.
01:12
What's the dog say?
01:13
Baxter.
01:14
And that must be Baxter.
01:16
That's Baxter.
01:17
Hi.
01:17
Hey.
01:18
How are you?
01:18
Don't shoot.
01:19
Don't shoot.
01:19
Hi.
01:20
How are you?
01:21
Oh, hi.
01:22
I'm Ty.
01:23
I'm Marsha.
01:24
Nice to meet you.
01:25
I'm Jeff.
01:25
We've been married for 17 years.
01:29
Yes, a long time.
01:30
When I think luxury, I want there
01:32
to be a wow factor when people come into our house.
01:35
And when I come into my own house,
01:37
I want there to be a wow factor.
01:38
I look at the magazines, and I think, I want that.
01:41
We have $100,000 to spread out through the main floor.
01:46
Oh my gosh.
01:46
Look at him.
01:48
Isn't it adorable?
01:50
It's so yellow.
01:52
Yeah, it's a lot.
01:54
It's on the ceiling.
01:55
Also, these stair runners have seen better days.
01:58
You're right.
01:59
They're expensive to replace, but you guys definitely
02:01
need an upgrade.
02:02
Right.
02:03
It's time for a change.
02:04
Oh, and Kai, look at that chandelier.
02:06
Someone sent it back to Game of Thrones.
02:08
Basically.
02:09
Yeah.
02:09
But it does evoke a good mood, I got to tell you.
02:13
It continues to be yellow.
02:15
It's literally everywhere.
02:16
Everywhere.
02:19
And we should reorient the furniture, right, Kai?
02:21
Because when you walk in, this is like a barrier.
02:24
There's no television.
02:25
So why not face the couch towards the kitchen
02:27
where all the interaction is happening anyway?
02:30
Did you paint that fireplace?
02:31
I did.
02:32
So it's the red brick from the front of the house.
02:35
How do you feel about the mantel?
02:37
Is it a keeper?
02:38
No, it's dated.
02:40
It feels old fashioned.
02:42
I would love either a natural wood beam or something.
02:46
We've been here eight years, and so we haven't touched anything.
02:48
How long did you leave here before you
02:50
realized you wanted to renovate?
02:51
Maybe four years ago.
02:53
We started talking about it.
02:54
We had smaller kids.
02:55
We'd go over and fix things up.
02:57
They'd just trash it.
02:58
Trust me, I get it.
03:00
I actually see that a lot with clients that have young kids.
03:02
How old are your kids?
03:04
They're 11 and 14.
03:05
OK.
03:05
I know it's not OK for you guys to say this,
03:07
but the kids are older.
03:08
It's time for you to be selfish a little bit.
03:10
Let's indulge.
03:11
Let's get what you want.
03:12
When we first moved in, I loved the kitchen.
03:15
It was certainly an upgrade from our townhouse
03:18
that we lived in before we moved in here.
03:21
I didn't mind the dark countertops.
03:23
And then living in them, it's like, oh,
03:26
I can see all the crumbs.
03:28
And I can see all this.
03:30
Yes.
03:31
How do you feel about the backsplash?
03:32
Well, I mean, if we lived in New Mexico or Arizona.
03:38
Some things I'd like to replace in the house
03:40
are certainly the paint color, update the countertops
03:43
and the cabinets.
03:45
An island is a must have.
03:46
I want to have a giant island.
03:48
As far as material goes, I love the look of marble.
03:51
I'm just not so sure if we can afford it.
03:53
I want the quality of a yacht life
03:54
for the price of a pontoon.
03:57
That's great.
03:58
Immediately, we want to get rid of this wall.
04:00
And Marsha, I know that's really important to you.
04:01
And you want it all gone, right?
04:02
If possible.
04:03
It's likely something in there.
04:05
And we're probably going to have to integrate it into the island.
04:08
We should take the island this way.
04:10
I want all of this open, if that's OK with you.
04:12
Make the island a lot wider, right?
04:14
Minimum four feet deep.
04:16
That way, you've got prep surface and sink on this side.
04:19
That's all you, right?
04:20
And then on the other side, Jeff and the kids could be eating.
04:23
Or Jeff, maybe you're washing dishes.
04:24
Who knows? - We never know.
04:25
There could be a switch up.
04:26
There's always a first.
04:28
So Michelle, what are some ideas you had for this island?
04:31
You know I want a waterfall, guys.
04:33
A waterfall in the kitchen?
04:34
Is that really luxury nowadays?
04:36
Absolutely.
04:37
Wow.
04:38
You know what that means, right?
04:39
The countertop turns 90 degree angle
04:42
and goes down to the floor.
04:44
Oh, OK.
04:44
I thought it was an actual waterfall.
04:46
I thought it was an actual waterfall.
04:47
Wow, I didn't know that was luxury.
04:49
That would be luxury.
