Honest Renovations (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

-I'm Jessica. -I'm Lizzy.
[Jessica]
[cries]
including your house.
Every day, I feel like I'm
failing.
[Lizzy]
it can make such a big
difference
-in how you parent. -[squeals]
We come in and help make your
home
Oh, my God!
I don't even know how we begin
to thank you guys.
You need to be celebrated.
■■
-[William] Abbey? -[Abbey] Yeah?
You want to help me make
pancakes?
Yeah.
I call first dibs on pancakes.
My name is William, and this is
Nakeya.
And we are the Loopers.
[Nakeya]
We have two sets of twins
No, no, don't put your hands in
it.
I washed them.
You guys, don't pull everything
out the refrigerator
all at one time.
[William]
[chuckling]
Not enough.
[William] Oh! There you go.
Perfect.
-"You have your hands full."
-"You got your hands full."
Yeah.
[chuckles]
[Nakeya] Grant. We're not having
whipped cream yet.
[Guy] Want some orange juice?
[Grant] If you have it right
now,
you can't have it at breakfast.
-Yes, I can. -[Grant] No, you
can't.
-[Guy] Yes, I can. -[Grant] No,
you can't.
[Abbey] You got it on the
counter.
That one's yours.
[scoffs] You just touched all of
them.
One of the struggles with having
four kids
that are really close in age
If it's, you know, "nobody
understands me,"
If you're just a parent of one,
just think of that times four
Okay? We're all bunched in one
area.
This is not gonna work.
It just recently kind of came to
a head
them arguing more at bed time.
I'm always coming down every
five minutes, like,
"How many times do I have to
come down here?
What is going on? Why are you
guys fighting?"
Somebody needs to rinse those
blueberries.
-Grant, you could do that.
-[Grant] I don't want to.
You didn't do anything.
[Abbey] You haven't done
anything at all.
Yes, I did.
This is a hundred percent
stressful
because most nights,
And to see it come to, like,
yelling or, "Get out!"
They'll fight, so it's kind of
stressful,
like, "What do we have to do for
this
not to be an everyday thing?"
We've got to do something.
[Nakeya]
■■
Okay, so the Looper House.
-This is the two sets of twins.
-Two sets of twins.
-That is wild. -Yeah.
Could you imagine having four
babies at one time?
-[Jessica]
-[Lizzy]
Diapers and sleepless nights.
-I'm telling you-- -And now they
have teenagers.
[Guy] I just get, you know--
I just got it out of the fridge
for me, not you.
Okay, it only takes one second
to pour syrup.
[boy] What are we having for
lunch?
It's only breakfast.
What are you talking about lunch
for?
[all] Hi!
-[William] How are you doin'?
-Hi, I'm Jessica.
-[William] Come on in! -Nice to
meet you.
I'm Lizzy, I like to give hugs.
-[Nakeya] Hi! -[Lizzy] I'm a big
hugger.
Look at this beautiful family!
It's so good to meet you guys.
[William] Just having a little
breakfast.
[Lizzy] Okay! Pancakes, the
bacon going.
-I want to flip some pancakes.
-Oh, go for it!
You guys are tweens, and you
guys are teens?
[boys] Yeah.
Yeah, they're 12 and they're 13
going on 14. So
-Okay. -[William] Oh, thank you.
I thought you were going to say
13 going on 40.
[all laugh]
With one teenager,
I'm literally crying myself to
sleep every night.
[chuckles]
I can't imagine four.
Four!
-We each have three kids.
-[William] Oh!
But mine are really spread out.
I have a 14-year-old,
11-year-old,
-and a four-and-a-half year old.
-Oh, wow.
So same baby daddy though.
[laughter]
-We just spread it out.
-[Nakeya] You just took a break.
-[William] Right on. -A long
break.
[Jessica] We just wanted to meet
you guys.
We admire any parent that can
have multiple children,
but to have two sets of twins
close together,
that's on another level.
I'll say this. There's nothing
like hearing
four babies crying at the same
time.
-[laughter] -Oh, my God.
It's really interesting.
Wow, I'm so crazy about the
Looper family.
[Lizzy]
-The kids were so-- -Sweet!
-Sweet, well-mannered--
-Well-mannered.
[Lizzy]
You can tell they are very
close.
And that they take a lot of
pride in their family.
What are you guys going to do
now?
You're gonna hang out for a
little bit
-while we talk to Mom and Dad?
-[boy] Yeah.
So we can get all the scoop on
y'all?
Like what's really happening in
the house?
Yeah. You cool with that?
-Yeah. -Okay. All right.
Take your plate to the sink.
What are you doing?
[Lizzy] Oh! Oh! Mama's laying it
down.
Yes, Mom!
[Nakeya] To the sink and then
go.
And you rinse?
-That's right. -[Nakeya] Yeah!
-This is the step-- -[Nakeya]
Otherwise they got to
-come back and wash. -Oh, my
goodness!
-[Nakeya] Is it empty? -Yes!
-Oh, this is a step for my kids.
-[Lizzy] I like this.
Actually, you know what?
Our kids are both really good
about putting dishes away,
-So it's nice to walk in-- -I
threaten my children.
Of course, you do.
I was just trying to help out,
and I failed.
you know, clear the counter so
we can talk.
[gasps]
[Lizzy] Ooh, you broke it. Ooh!
[Jessica] That was a nice glass.
I'm just saying this just out
loud because
I would never say this in front
of them,
but I was mortified when you
broke their wine glasses.
Not as mortified as I was.
■■
■■
I just broke, um
-a really nice glass. -Good job,
Jess. Good job.
I'll put it on the shelf.
Jessica Alba broke this glass.
[Jessica] Oh, my God!
I was, like, "Oh, my God,
I cannot take this girl
anywhere."
It was very embarrassing.
I'm really sorry.
That's okay.
-Look, she-- [laughs] -We have
insurance.
[Nakeya] As long as we have
four,
we can still use them.
We'll get you another set.
For real. For real.
You really can't take me
anywhere.
I think let's just touch on the
twins.
-Yes. -[Jessica] Grant and
Christian
-Guy has his room. -Okay.
Abbey has her room and Grant and
Christian share a room.
Now they want to be separate.
It's a lot more fighting,
and sometimes I have to call
William down,
-like, "Help!" -They look alike,
but their personalities and
everything
-are totally, totally different.
-Okay, how so? Tell us.
[Jessica] Yeah, tell us about
it.
[William]
[Jessica]
[William]
They want to be individuals,
they want to have their own
interests.
And they have always just been
lumped together.
There's a lot of yelling and
they're in each other's way
and annoyed with each other,
and we've never been, like, a
yelling-type of house.
So it's a lot more hectic
Twelve and 13. That was--
Those-- That's that age where
they're, like
It's a critical age, I agree.
-They're-- they're not -Kids
-kids, they're not adults.
-Adults
[groans] And also they're-- My
kids,
I'm not going to talk about my
kids,
but I'm just saying that
this is the moment where they
try to flex on you
-and everything you say-- -Oh,
not the jerk though--
-Oh. Oh. Oh. -They flex on you
and literally,
you can't have a good idea.
[laughs]
It's sort of like, lots of
hormones,
-lots of changes there, -Lots of
things happening.
-between being kids and adults.
-[Nakeya] Exactly.
So there's a lot going on
emotionally.
-[Nakeya] Right. -[Lizzy] Right.
It's a new one for us.
I think meeting all four of them
for the first time,
I was just really excited to see
their room.
Same. I 100% was so curious.
Just to see what this wing was
all about.
[Jessica] All right, Grant and
Christian.
Hi.
[Lizzy] All right, all right,
all right.
Whose bed is whose?
This is my bed, that's Grant's
bed.
Okay. No one decided to make
their bed this morning.
-[boy] No. -[laughter]
■■
Okay. What do you guys do in
here?
What's your hang out?
We usually just play video games
or something.
-[Lizzy] Both of you?
-[Christian] Yeah.
Both of us. But he's, like, more
into it.
So if he's a gamer, then what
are you into?
I like tactical stuff. And,
like, military stuff.
-Oh, oh, right! -Cool.
What is it that you like about
tactical gear
and military life?
-My grandpa fought in Vietnam.
-Oh, wow.
[Lizzy] Oh, wow.
So, does it make you feel closer
to, kind of, like, your family a
little bit?
Yeah.
-[Lizzy] Yeah? -Aww.
That's so sweet.
[Lizzy]
-[both] Yeah.
And especially you guys being
twins?
Everyone thinks you guys do the
same thing.
[both] Yeah.
[Jessica] They probably treat
you guys like you guys
are the same person, but you're,
like,
"I'm totally different."
[Grant] They all think we want
to share everything.
Yeah.
[Jessica] So, what is your
style?
-I like to be more flashy. -Oh,
okay.
What do you have in your
wardrobe right now
that you feel like stands out?
-A gold chain. -[Lizzy] Ooh,
ooh.
-Man after my own heart.
-[laughs]
Okay, So that's your thing.
What about your style?
I don't really like to stand
out.
-Yeah. Opposite? -You're giving
me, like,
like, spy vibes.
Under the radar.
-That's right. -Covert.
-That's so true! -On a mission.
Yeah! [chuckles]
[Jessica] This is the time in
your life
you get to figure out, like,
kind of who you want to be and
grow into.
And I feel like it's probably
hard
when you feel like you're,
sort of, always mushed together.
-Yeah. -[Jessica] Okay.
They need to have their own
identity.
They do.
■■
■■
[Lizzy] Go ahead, Jess. I know
what you're thinking.
-So, go, say it. -What?
I know exactly what you're
thinking.
What? I'm impressed that he made
his bed.
[Guy]
[Lizzy]
[Guy]
[Lizzy]
[Jessica]
-[Guy] Oh, yeah, I have weights.
-[Jessica] You work out?
Yeah, I like to work out.
-Cool. -Yeah, I want to get
stronger.
[Lizzy] What's your color
palette?
Do you really love grays?
I like gray, white.
-Brown and black-- -[Lizzy] So
neutral.
-[Jessica] Okay. Yeah. -[Lizzy]
So you like neutral.
[Jessica] It's very calming.
Yeah, And I also wanted to
mention one more thing
-[Lizzy] Yes, tell us. -which
is the windows.
[Guy] I'd like to maybe open
them, but I can't.
Okay. Now, wait a minute,
though,
because this is my parental
brain kicking.
Yeah.
Now you're the front of the
house.
-Mm-hmm. -So you open the
window,
are you going out that window?
-No. No, no. -[Lizzy] Okay,
okay.
I just want to have your word on
it. Okay.
But I used to sneak out the
window.
Don't listen to this one.
-Bad influence. -[Jessica] All
the time.
Bad influence. Don't listen to
her.
No, but I was, like, I was a
good kid.
I just used to-- A hundred
percent.
What, good kid and sneak out the
window?
Well, I came back!
No, no, That does not-- No!
Girl, I couldn't imagine you as
a teenager.
-Please stop. -I was the worst.
You have all the feelings.
-I had so many feelings
-Stop.
and my parents did not
understand me.
[laughter]
■■
■■
-Oh, wow. -Oh!
-Okay, so this is-- -So whose
room is this?
[Lizzy] It looks like a
pass-through room.
It looks like, like a hang out.
■■
-Hi! -Abbey!
-Hi. -[Lizzy] Can we come in?
-Yeah. -This is so cool.
And I see, like, a little bit of
a bohemian
thing happening.
[Abbey] Yeah, I really like
Bohemia.
Do you do a lot with jewelry?
Yes. I wear jewelry every single
day.
-[Lizzy] Oh! -[Jessica] Oh, wow!
Okay! Now that you're, like,
getting a little older,
what are you looking for out of
your room now?
[Abbey] Right now, my room is,
like,
all the blues and stuff 'cause
that was, like,
my favorite color when I was,
like, ten.
And I'm, like, more into, like,
rosy pink or, like, sage green.
-Oh! -Okay, I like that.
Okay, your style is elevating.
-Yeah. -I think we got a good
vibe.
We got you, girl. You're in good
hands.
You're in good hands.
Thank you for showing us your
room.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
[Lizzy]
I'm excited with this family
to help them usher into the next
phase of
-what life is. -[Jessica]
■■
Hey, guys. We have seen it all.
Have you? Did you get all the
dirt?
We have seen it all!
This was really cool.
We got to see everyone's, like,
personality
They're so different.
Yeah, And in their rooms, you
can see they're sort of,
like, in between this, like, kid
child,
and this sort of, like, young
adult.
We need Jessica and Lizzy to
solve this problem for us.
And don't worry, Jessica will
bring some wine glasses.
[Nakeya] Okay. [laughs]
I'll bring back a lot of wine
glasses.
-We'll see you guys soon.
-[Nakeya] Okay, bye.
[laughter]
Careful.
Today, the Loopers are finally
moving out.
That means that I'm going to
help them pack boxes.
Get everything out of here,
Y'all ready, huh?
All right, So I have Paul here
from Clutter,
and he's going to help take out
some of these boxes for you
guys.
Can you guys carry some of these
smaller boxes?
-Yeah. -Yeah, you can get this
one.
Looper Family! Ay, ay, ay!
-You know what? -What?
I really like the Loopers.
Okay, so let's talk about their
house a little bit.
[Jessica]
a ten-years-ago version of these
kids.
-This is true. -Verse who they
are today.
[Jessica]
All right, so let's organize
what we know about each of them.
Guy.
Guy is military.
No. Guy is basketball.
Now put his room under where it
is.
-Right? -Well, this isn't--
[Jessica] Like that.
Sorry.
-Does this help you visually?
-Yeah.
You're really kind of messing up
my vibe here.
Well, do one, two, three, four.
Do you want to switch?
No, your writing's better.
No, put Grant left.
And then Christian right.
One, two, three, four.
You know what I mean?
[Lizzy] Our brains are so
different.
That's why we work well
together,
because we're not the same.
-No, here. -At least put it
even.
Goddamn it, you're not putting
it even,
you're putting it too low.
[Lizzy] No, I'm not.
You're so much higher.
■■
This is their current layout as
it sits right now.
There are four twins who are all
fighting to assert their
So Guy's here.
[Lizzy]
[Jessica]
Do you feel like Grant and
Christian
-should stay in the same room?
-No.
Yeah, well, they just want
their--
Own identity.
-Independence. -Yeah.
They do. But we only have three
rooms.
What if we do
Now we lose this real estate.
Well, you're creating a hallway.
Which hurts my soul.
But you can put a door here.
Now this space is very tight.
[Jessica] It is tight.
But then they get to be in
different rooms.
All right, what if we do this
thing?
Oh, wait, but this bathroom.
What if Abbey moves rooms?
[Jessica] And--
[Lizzy]
-
-[Jessica]
[Lizzy]
[Jessica]
If that is the layout,
I think whoever is in the
smaller bedroom,
you're gonna have to really
trick it out.
It has to be fly.
[Lizzy] It has to be fly.
And who has that fly, like,
outgoing personality of the two?
I think it's Grant. Gamer Grant!
[Jessica] So Grant's here.
-[Lizzy] Yeah. -Okay.
We're gonna need to put some
storage
[Lizzy] All right, this one's
going to be interesting.
-All right, here we are! -We are
back!
Oh, yeah!
[Jessica] This is the big
situation.
[Lizzy] TJ, you're our yes or no
guy.
This is an unused space for
them,
and we want to create a room out
of it.
Maybe make a wall here.
-Right? -[TJ] Okay.
And so now we have hallway and a
bedroom.
Yeah, once you put that wall in,
this is gonna be a very, very
small room.
So we need to know options here.
Do you wanna see what it looks
like with a wall?
Should we check, take a look?
Yeah, let's see what it looks
like with a wall.
-[TJ] How it feels? -Jess loves
painter tape.
I love painter's tape because
you can actually measure out
where things go.
And it helps you visualize what
space you're creating
or you have to work with.
Without it, I feel like I'm just
flying blind.
So we're walking in the room.
This is the door.
[Lizzy] Mm-hmm.
[Jessica] We're in the room.
-[Lizzy] This is super small.
-Small.
There's a couple options. We
could put up
a partition wall and have a big
opening
with, like, a barn door so it
could slide open.
This might give us, like, a
four-foot opening or so?
That would be cool.
So then, at least from this
point over, it's open.
So then we should think about
this wall
[TJ] As part of the room.
As part of the room.
So all of this is kind of
seamless.
[Lizzy] Right. We should
definitely do something
cool on this wall.
We totally nailed the kids'
zone.
-Done! -I'm so excited.
Have you seen their parents'
room?
-I have not. Have you? -No.
No. We've been focusing so much
on two sets of twins being the
stars of this show.
But let's be real.
Keep it 100, Jess.
Who are the stars of the show?
The parents. The people who
raised
-You got it. -these kids.
Let 'em know!
I kind of want to just go check
it out.
■■
Oh!
-What a nice sized bedroom.
-[TJ] Yeah, this is big.
-This is great. -And the-- And
so many windows.
It would just, like, kill me if
we don't do anything
for these parents.
-Same. Same, same. -They're the
best.
They'd be so excited to see
their kids' faces,
but imagine how happy they would
be
if we redid theirs.
It's so wide. I think you can
even
do something over here.
Maybe this is like a built-in.
You know how I love a built-in,
but keep the window.
Wouldn't it be cool if we did,
like,
-[Lizzy]
[Jessica]
Remember when I broke their wine
glass?
You're just horrible for that. I
don't even have any words.
But, like, I could really make
up for that.
I think she's a little bit more
elevated than this.
[Jessica]
What's up, fam?
[all] Hi!
I'm so excited to see you guys.
[boys] Hi.
[Lizzy] Hi! I want a group hug.
Group hug, group hug, group hug,
group hug.
Anytime we come in to redo a
home,
we're not just helping to
transform
or renovate the space.
We're also helping to transform
the families.
-How are y'all? -Good.
Yes, everyone's happy?
Everyone's excited?
-[boy 1] Yeah. -[boy 2] Very
excited.
Okay, so you know where we are
today.
We're gonna do some shopping.
You guys are, like, growing into
these, like,
young adults, and everyone is
their own vibe.
So we're gonna come in here,
you're gonna give me
a little glimpse of who you guys
are.
And we're gonna have some fun.
Okay, guys, come on. Let's go.
■■
The teen years are all about
finding yourself, as we know.
So with these new
transformations in their rooms,
why not also give them a whole
new vibe
and a new look to match.
Oh, these are cool.
These are organic and long. I
like that.
This is what you like?
Yeah, because I like them, like,
baggy.
[Lizzy] What about blues?
-[Guy] I like those. -These?
And I like the black ones.
[Lizzy] Oh, okay, okay. I like
that.
And do you like all these tops?
Yeah, but I don't-- I'm not into
crop tops.
Girl. No, I will not bring you
home with a crop top.
-Your mama will kill me. -Yeah.
I think it's try-out time. Are
you guys ready?
-Yeah. -Start with that.
Try those on. Try it on.
Just call me if you need any
sizes.
As parents,
of course, we always get into
these habits
of "We dress our kids, we tell
them what to wear,"
and especially as twins,
you probably get paired-in your
whole life
of wearing the exact same thing
with your twin.
We are ready. Fashion show
ready.
Today, I get to see what they
really are gravitating towards.
Prints, patterns, colors
that I can take and put in their
new rooms.
■■
[all] Hey!
[Lizzy] A little peekaboo.
-Love it. [laughs] -I see you!
■■
[Lizzy] Okay, handsome. Okay.
Y'all look so good.
-[Nakeya] Wow! -[Lizzy] I see
you, Guy! Okay!
-Look at you! -Lookin' good!
All right. Give it to 'em,
Abbey.
Give it to 'em now.
Give it to 'em, now, Abbey.
■■
Look at that!
-Ooh! Cute! -[Nakeya] Love it!
-Turn it, spin it. -[Nakeya]
Hey!
Nice!
[Lizzy and Nakeya] Oh!
How do you guys feel?
I love this outfit.
Thank you. Thank you. I love
that.
Okay, do you now see what I'm
saying?
Like, you guys have different
individual styles,
and now we can finally see you.
High five. Good job.
-Fun times. Love it. -Yeah.
■■
Look at this.
Hey, hey.
This is what you guys were
talking about,
to put a little bit of something
on this wall.
So Guy, he's an athlete.
He loves basketball.
-He likes wood. -[Lizzy] Yes.
So this is sort of, like,
how can you bring in a wood
element
and then also something's that
like--
Oh, is this supposed to be the
hardwood floors
that he plays basketball on?
Was that our inspo here?
No, it's just echoing.
-[TJ] Yeah, why not. Yes. -That
vibe.
[Lizzy] And the natural wood
texture
is cozy, timeless,
and it's an inexpensive hack to
a statement wall.
-They'll be cut. -Okay, great.
[TJ] So we can use one of the
space in between.
Put one that way and another one
right to it.
Oh, that's a nice little hack.
[TJ] Yeah, so it makes it nice
and easy.
-[Lizzy] Okay. -[TJ] Exactly.
I do need help opening this up,
so I don't know which one of you
I trust
to use a nail gun, but, you
know
You'd be so proud that this
isn't our first time.
I'm sure I've seen it happen
before.
I was always a little nervous.
[Lizzy] I think glasses are
really important.
Jess and I get a little freaked
out
with these nail guns.
What's the safety on this thing?
[TJ] That on top, it won't fire
unless that's pressed in.
So try it. Go ahead and put it
right to the wall.
-There you go. So -Great.
-Jesus. -That's the safety right
there.
It won't go unless it's pressed
in.
So you can't, like, fire it at
Jess.
-That's great. -You can try.
-Don't! -[chuckles]
-[TJ] All right -Oh, my God.
[nail fires]
This feels like I'm in my
element. You know?
-Like, it feels like this--
-Pretend like it's a gun.
Like, it feels really good. You
know what I'm sayin'?
-This is great. -Just, like,
don't do that.
■■
[nails fire]
I can't. I'm going to--
I'm going to go get some water.
Bye, Jess.
I'm a pro!
Whoa!
Oh, my goodness, it's a room and
hallway.
Wow.
[Jessica] That wall looks
awesome.
[Lizzy] It looks so good.
I think it's really cool
that we have such a wide open
doorway.
Right? Like, this really is
going to add to--
So when he closes this door and
that door
-Right. -This feels like his
space.
The paint all the way up to the
ceiling
just makes it look so chic and,
like, cool.
Wow, it turned out so great.
And we could decorate this wall.
So
Yeah, this is going to look so
cool.
Yeah, especially when he's,
like, gaming here.
Yeah, and this is his backdrop.
Even though this isn't his room.
technically the hallway,
when he opens that door and he's
gaming,
this will feel like his room.
Every other gamer watching will
think
-he has a bigger room. -Exactly,
right? [laughs]
[Jessica] How do these panels go
up?
We're actually just going to
use double-sided tape and put
'em on.
Really? And then that way, he
can take them off?
-Yeah. -Oh!
Is this the tape that we're
using?
[TJ] Yeah, we put them on just
like this.
So you can actually start
putting up if you like.
[Jessica] Yeah.
[Lizzy] So is there any trick to
it
-or just line them up? -[TJ]
Just line it up.
[Jessica] And that's so great.
What a cool little hack for
people at home.
This renovation, I think,
is all about zhuzhing up the
walls.
And this is something anybody
can do.
You know what I think is boring?
Watching people put things on a
wall.
We should do a time lapse.
■■
-This is a lot bigger. -[Lizzy]
Totally.
This is the color of the walls
and ceiling,
but then also the light floor.
And I think that is something
that a lot of people don't think
about.
It's like you do a richer color
on the wall.
If you have that light floor.
Right?
-[Lizzy] To bring in the light.
-[Jessica] Yeah.
[Lizzy] To make it just feel
bigger.
What I think is so cool about
this house
is that we really haven't
knocked down
any walls or anything like that.
They're all really doable.
Changes that anybody can do.
Yeah, this is not that. I could
do this all day.
-Yeah. -Oh, could you?
I'm-- I'm glad that you do this
all day.
-That's awesome. -Well, this one
compared to, like, your parents'
house
"Let's remove this. I don't like
this wall here.
I feel a breeze. So, what if we
move that window?"
-[laughter] -Is that your
Jessica voice?
-Yeah, I mean -[Jessica] That
is not true.
-False. False. -That is
[Lizzy] That is so true!
[laughs]
Hey!
-Hi, guys. -[boys] Hi.
Abbey, I see you. What's up,
guys?
During these renovations, we
have to ask the families
to leave their homes for weeks
on end.
And that can be a little bit of
a challenge,
especially when you're rolling
six deep like the Loopers.
-Everyone's still excited? -Yes.
[Lizzy] All right, You guys
practice.
I'm gonna talk to Mom and Dad
for a second, okay?
-Okay. -[Lizzy] Okay.
Hello, fam!
Hello!
Wow!
All right. So tell me, how do
you guys feel right now?
Excited, nervous, ready.
-[Lizzy] Yes. -Homesick.
Really? Are you homesick?
-[William] Yeah, a little. -Oh!
But it's fun. It feels like
we're camping.
So we're all close.
-Is that what it feels like?
-Yeah.
I guess being a little displaced
kind of makes you
really appreciate, you know,
what you have.
-Right. -I think I definitely
do appreciate my house a lot
more than
than I did. I don't take it for
granted as much.
[Nakeya] Yeah.
Being the amazing parents
that Nakeya and William are,
they only focus on their kids.
[Jessica] We're going to do,
like, beautiful paneling,
and this is something anybody
can do.
-It's a great hack. -Mm-hmm.
And it just makes the space look
more elevated.
Let's get into it.
Let's elevate.
■■
-[TJ] You good? -[Lizzy] Yes.
[Jessica]
-[TJ]-[Jessica]
All right, should we start
nailing?
[nails firing]
[TJ] I'm glad you got really
close to my hand.
-That's great. -And all over my
head.
[nails firing]
[grunts]
■■
All right, so today, we are
making
a wavy mirror for Abbey's room.
I'm so excited about the peg
wall
-for all of her jewelry. -Which
is so cute.
[Jessica]
-Yeah. -[Lizzy] It's gonna be so
fun.
This is the outline for the wavy
mirror
[TJ] Right. This is the part
we're keeping.
These two, we're going to
repurpose.
This line represents the table,
so we're going to cut on this
side
so we don't cut through the
table. Right?
[Lizzy] Oh, that's genius. Okay.
All right, let's do this, Lizzy.
I need a little bit of what you
got.
Let's put on our goggles,
so we don't get any sawdust in
our eyes.
I agree. This time, I totally--
I concur.
[Jessica] Do I need to hold down
the table?
-[thuds] -[Lizzy] Yes. Wow.
Just sit on it, Jess.
[Jessica] Okay. I'm holding it
down.
[grunts]
[saw whirrs]
This is called delirious.
-Oh. -I haven't had a lot of
sleep.
And my dogs have been
diarrhea-ing
-Okay. Okay. -all over the
house.
[whirring]
All I know is that between my
kids
and my dogs, I haven't slept in
a few days.
-Life is happening. -A lot of
poop in the house.
-So I'm tired. -Life is
happening.
It's a shit storm in my house.
-A crappy day. -[laughs]
[saw whirrs]
Don't worry, I'm holding down
the table over here.
Thank you. [blows]
Can you talk about how wonderful
it is
-to work with us? -It's
fantastic. It's great.
Because-- Just because you're
slop--
It's fantastic.
-[whirring] -Ooh!
But why do we even have these?
Pretty much how-- It goes with
everything.
[blows]
Oh!
-Whoa! -[Lizzy] Okay, that's all
right.
They give me so much pressure
right here.
-It's killing me. -So why are
you wearing glasses?
I just got comfortable.
And just because you chose to
take them off--
So, yeah, this is basically how
it goes on every job site.
This conversation. We also have
to do the inside.
[Lizzy] All right. I'm going to
let you do this just because
I really want this to turn out
really great for Abbey.
-Yeah, I could do-- -And I don't
want to be
responsible for messing it up.
[whirring]
No, you did the opposite.
Oh, shit.
[Jessica exclaims]
Oh, my God!
No, you did the opposite.
[TJ] Oh, shit! You're right.
It's the-- Tinku!
Oh! I messed up. Damn it.
-[Jessica] Tinku! -[TJ] You're
right.
Totally screwed this one up.
Oh, well. We have to do it
again.
■■
-[Lizzy] Hey, Tinku! -Hey!
So the pegboard is up!
You know what I like? I love
that it brings
-like, dimension. Right? -Yeah.
One of the first things Abbey
mentioned
when we walked through her old
room,
was her jewelry case.
She loves jewelry.
So we instantly knew we had to
make it
a full moment in her new room.
And we also have our mirror
-Yes. -[Lizzy] Get out of here.
This was definitely not the
one
Wait a minute, can these--?
Where did you cut sideways?
[TJ] It was over here. However,
this is by number seven
that it took to make it look
this nice.
-It looks so good. -[TJ] Yeah.
I love this. She's going to be
obsessed.
We're obviously gonna do this a
lot better.
This is just a temporary
placement.
Every contractor out there is
going,
"What are you doing?"
That is painter tape.
It's just to see so we can get
an idea.
All right.
-Okay, give me some pegs. -All
right.
So these are the pegs we're
gonna use
to display all of her jewelry
and all her cool little things.
So we can just put them all over
the place.
You know, we can even add a
little basket
and she can put even little
things in her basket,
whether it's jewelry or her
pins
This is going to be great.
■
■
[Lizzy]
We need to find, really, like,
special gifts.
Let's do it.
■■
I think we do the acne line for
all the kids.
[Lizzy] So this is perfect for
teenagers and preteens.
And then for Mom,
maybe the hydrating line and the
calming balm.
[Lizzy] Yeah.
■■
All right, so we will make these
very pretty
-Very pretty. -for the whole
fam.
All right, a little movie magic.
Go work your magic.
■■
[Lizzy]
[Jessica]
So I think with a busy, active
family,
there's always stuff that they
have to kind of clean up after.
It's important that parents can
feel like
they can really take pride in
the space.
And a simple, easy way to do
that
is just set up a relocate bin.
You know you're keeping it.
You know it's your kids'.
But it doesn't belong on the
kitchen counter.
Mom or Dad come in, drop their
relocate items--
-Or when the kids
-Absolutely.
You know, they just want to run
and have dinner
because they came in from
practice.
Just drop it.
-They just drop the relocate.
-Yeah.
[Jessica] And then donate is,
the kids have
-grown out of something. -[Amy]
Yeah.
[Jessica] They're done with it.
And then it goes into a donate
bin.
[Amy] And I think it's just
easy,
it's smart, it's in the kids'
wing.
They try something on, it
doesn't fit,
they ask a sibling, "Hey, do you
want this?"
Nobody wants it, "Let's donate
it."
■■
[Jessica] One of the best things
about this room
is definitely the storage bed.
[Amy] With a smaller room,
it's nice to be able to do that
seasonal flip.
Whichever season we're in,
we can put the opposite tucked
away.
-[Lizzy] Mm-hmm. -[Jessica]
Okay.
So this could be winter fall
and that can be summer spring.
[Amy] This is great. We now have
our containment.
[Lizzy] Mm-hmm.
So our next step is, we need to
label
-[Lizzy] Oh, yes! -[Jessica] Oh!
[Amy] to maintain.
-[Lizzy] The organization!
-[Jessica] I love it!
■■
Even though we had the shelving
in the areas to do it,
I love how you still added
little containers.
-[Amy] Yeah. -[Lizzy] For each
little thing.
[Amy] When you contain, it helps
you to maintain.
I wish my room was like this
now.
[Amy] I know.
■■
-Today is the day. -We are so
excited.
Cannot wait!
■■
[knocking on door]
[Lizzy and Jessica] Welcome
home!
-Hello! -Come on, come on in!
-Wow! -Hi!
[Nakeya] Yay!
I'm nervous for the kids,
really.
Their whole world could be
turned
completely upside down
and I just want them to be
happy.
We are so excited to see you
guys.
Like I can't believe this
moment.
And this day has actually
arrived!
-[Nakeya] We're here! -[Lizzy]
Are you so excited?
[all] Yes.
That was all in unison. I love
it!
Ladies first!
[singing] Ladies first!
Okay, so come on.
Okay. Come on, Abbey. Let's go.
[Lizzy] Nakeya, Abbey, let's go
this way.
-[gasps] -Oh, my Gosh!
Look!
-[Nakeya] Abbey! [laughs]
-What?!
[Nakeya] This is so beautiful.
This does not look like my room.
I know. Oh, my God.
■■
-[Jessica] What do you think?
-Thank you so much!
Oh, my gosh, this is incredible.
You guys nailed this.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
You are so special to us.
We have daughters, we are
daughters.
It's just like we were so
connected to you on this one--
[Jessica] Feminine, like, boho,
but also, like, cool and--
[Lizzy] We wanted straight, cool
girl vibes.
[Jessica] Yeah.
And then also, you're a jewelry
enthusiast,
and so we put jewelry pegs to
display
all of your jewelry over there
on that peg wall
so she can put her outfit
together.
Always have a new jewelry
moment.
One thing in here that we
actually really
put a labor of love into
was this wavy mirror.
She can do her makeup right
there.
[Nakeya] This is incredible!
-[Lizzy] Isn't that so great?
-[Jessica] Isn't it cool?
■■
All right, Guy, you're next.
■■
-[gasps] Oh, my gosh! -[Nakeya]
Oh, wow!
[Guy] Whoa!
■■
This is incredible.
■■
Oh, wow, the wood looks like a
basketball court.
That's really cool.
■■
[Jessica] We wanted you to
really feel like this room,
feels really elevated.
It feels like it can grow with
you
and as you grow and you're going
into
high school and then college,
you can come back into this room
and this room will still feel
right for you.
[Lizzy] We try to get you in a
bar.
This was hard to get in, but we
got it in.
So this is-- It's safe enough
for you to do your pull-ups.
You don't even know how much I
know he's going to use this.
[Lizzy] Hold up. Hold up.
This is his, okay? Okay,
Daddy-O?
■■
■■
Oh, my goodness.
[Nakeya] Oh, my gosh, look at
this.
■■
Oh, my goodness.
[Nakeya] Oh, my gosh, look at
this.
Oh, my God!
■■
[William] This is awesome.
Are you, like, so speechless?
And you ain't sayin' anything?
I just don't know what to say.
[laughter]
This was a-- was very
It was a lot for us to try to
figure out.
[Lizzy] This was a challenge for
us.
We were very nervous.
[Jessica] We put this half wall
in
and then we added this wide barn
door.
■■
[Lizzy] You're the gamer.
We decided to go a little bit
more, like,
creative in your space
because we knew that you were
flashy
Swaggy, yeah.
-A little swag -Mm-hmm.
You know, a little chain
poppin'
-You know, gamer -[William]
This is awesome.
We wanted you to feel really
good.
■■
[Jessica] We just wanted, like,
a cool textured wall
and wanted to do the gaming
lights
so you look really cool when
you're gaming.
Of course, after you do your
homework.
[Lizzy] That's right. That's
right, that's right.
And we wanted to make it so that
when this door's closed,
this all can feel like your
space in your room.
Look at all the storage.
[Jessica] We were trying to
figure out clever ways
to kind of utilize the space.
We put storage up here,
and you also have storage under
your bed.
[Lizzy] It lifts up.
[William] Oh, wow! That's so
smart.
[Lizzy] It's a game changer.
[Nakeya]
How do you feel?
[Jessica] I mean, did we do it
right?
Yeah, this is amazing.
[Nakeya laughs]
-That's awesome. -Oh, that's
really sweet.
■■
-Oh, my God! -Oh, my God!
Whoa!
[laughs]
■■
[Christian] Oh, my gosh.
Wow. It's so grown up in here.
[William] This is really, really
nice.
Oh, look at that!
[Nakeya] Oh, Christian, look!
A bunch of military stuff!
This is awesome!
You said you were a military
enthusiast.
So we were, like, how can we
make this space sophisticated?
Maybe something that just
inspires you,
like, you want to be in this
space.
[Lizzy] The paint color is a
vibe.
[Jessica] It's really
sophisticated, uniform.
[Lizzy] And it just feels like
it fits you.
We wanted to give you a little
texture back here
on your office desk space.
[Christian] Oh, I didn't notice
that.
[Lizzy] So it gives you a little
bit, kind of, like, a cool vibe
and plenty of storage in this
room.
[Jessica] Yeah.
[Lizzy]
■■
And you know, when you're an
identical twin,
sometimes you can feel like
people want to interchange you.
but your brother has his vibe,
you have yours.
you need a more calming
environment.
-[Lizzy] Mm-hmm. -[Jessica] And
more peace.
So we wanted to bring that to
you in this space.
I couldn't have done better
myself.
Ah! [laughs]
■■
All right. Well, we still got
more to do.
Let's go.
Nakeya, come on. Follow us.
[Jessica] Three, two, one
Oh, my goodness!
This is beautiful.
This is the same room?
[Jessica]
You have two sets of twins.
I'm about to keep it 100% real.
We know how hard both of you
work.
Okay? You deserved an upgrade.
-Okay? -Yes, I love it.
[Lizzy]
[Jessica]
[Nakeya]
Look in the corner.
Oh, what?! Oh, look!
■■
[William] Oh, my goodness. Okay.
[laughter]
[William] Okay.
Oh, my goodness.
[Nakeya] You guys have outdone
yourself.
I'm completely blown away.
-Shocked. -Yeah.
[Nakeya]
[William]
I can't wait to enjoy that new
space.
■■
[Jessica] All right, guys
We come bearing gifts!
This is our departing gifts
[Lizzy] From our lovely friends
at Honest.
We had so much fun designing
this space
-for you guys. -[Jessica] Yeah.
[Lizzy] And really trying to,
like,
bring out each personality.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you again and again and
again.
[Jessica] Do you want to take a
photo?
[William] Say cheese!
-All right. -All right.
-Yay! -Whoo!
[Jessica] Love this.
[both] All right, bye, you guys!
[Loopers] Bye!
