GAME. I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ONE
OF THE FIRST WHEN PEOPLE ARE
JUST SO CAPTIVATED BY THESE
TRANSFORMATIONS OF HOMES.
>> YEAH, IT’S CRAZY. LIKE HOW
TO DO IT. BUT IT’S BEEN SO
AWESOME TO SEE LIKE JUST THE
WHOLE GENRE BUT YEAH, I MEAN,
TRAINS BASES. WELL, I GUESS
IT’S MORE THAN ALMOST 20 YOU
KNOW, AGO THAT IT STARTED. BUT
WE’RE THE FIRST ONES TO PUT
TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF
HOMEOWNERS. AND SO THAT
CHANGED EVERYTHING BECAUSE
EVERYBODY BECAME A DIY OR BUT
I THINK IT’S BETTER THAT THAT
I THINK THE WORLD A BETTER
PLACE THAT EVERYONE’S TRYING
TO MAKE LIKE THEIR
ENVIRONMENT, YOU KNOW, BETTER
LOOKING. EVERYONE STILL MAKES
MISTAKES. AND THEN YOU’VE GOT
A CUP OF ICE TUNNEL. SO THAT
KEEPS EVERYBODY WORKING, WHICH
IS NICE. IT’S ALL ABOUT
FINDING THAT BALANCE. TAI. HOW
DO YOU?
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: KEEP IT
INTERESTING YEAR AFTER YEAR
HAD TO KEEP PEOPLE
ENTERTAINED.
>> I DON’T KNOW. I THINK THAT
SORT OF OUT TO GET WOW. YOU
HAVE TO ASK MY MOTHER THAT I
EITHER I ENTERED EASILY, BUT
YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT? WHAT
WHAT’S CRAZY IS LIKE? I I I
LOVE EVERY PROJECT THAT I’M
DOING. YOU KNOW, THERE’S
SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT IT’S
THE EUREKA MOMENT WHERE YOU
HAVE AN IDEA, BUT THEN TAKING
ALL WAY TO THE FINISH. BUT
IT’S THIS SORT OF JOY AND JUST
LIKE THE CREATIVE PROCESS AND
IN THE END, LIKE ALSO, IF YOU
CAN, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOMEONE’S
SORT OF HAPPY WHY YOU DO IT.
IT’S THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS.
BUT THE COOL THING ABOUT BEING
IN THE HOME SHOW JACKSONVILLE
IS IS I I FOUND A PIECE OF
SORT OF STUMBLE UPON AT ONE
TIME. IT WAS LIKE A I’LL TALK
ABOUT IT AT THE SHOW. BUT
BASICALLY I FOUND OUT FISHING,
GAVIN, THAT WAS LIKE MY ROOM.
AND I WAS LIKE, OH, MY GOD, I
HAVE TO TAKE THIS ON AND BUILT
A REALLY COOL RIGHT? JUST
SOUTH OF SAINT AUGUSTINE. SO
WAKE OF IT. YEAH, BECAUSE IT’S
JUST IT’S AWESOME. SO I’M SORT
IN BETWEEN THERE AND OF
COURSE, MOM SAW THE MINUTE MY
MOM TAUGHT YOU RETIRED
LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY LIKE
MOVE. DID SO LIVING WITH YOUR
MOM AFTER 50 IS THAT’S GOING
TO BE CLOSE UP. BUT SHE’S
HILARIOUS. SO IT’S FUN.
>>MELANIE LAWSON: I LOVE IT.
YOU KNOW, YOU A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY WHEN THEY’RE THAT
AGE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. YEAH,
I THINK SO. YOU KNOW THAT YOUR
THAT’S REALLY A GOOD ABOUT YOU
IS THAT YOU CONNECT TO PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, IT’S ABOUT THE
PROJECT, BUT IT’S ALSO ABOUT
WHO YOU’RE HELPING. SO TO THIS
WEEKEND YOU’LL GET A CHANCE TO
MEET SOME FOLKS HERE IN
JACKSONVILLE THERE TO HAVE
TONS OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE
SOMEONE WHO’S KIND OF LIKE
GETTING THAT BEGINNING? THOSE
CREATIVE JUICES GOING, YOU
KNOW, MAYBE WHAT TOOLS THAT
THEY NEED. HOW DO THEY GET THE
BALL ROLLING
>> WELL, I MEAN, THE GOOD NEWS
IS IS BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A
TIME NOW WHERE YOU CAN GOOGLE
JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN
SEE THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE
UGLY BETTY PROJECT TAKING ON
IT SO THAT YOU’VE SEEN FROM
PEOPLE’S MISTAKES. I THINK THE
FIRST THING YOU NEED TO MAKE
SURE IS TO THINGS LIKE MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE THE BUDGET TO
TAKE IT ON. MAKE SURE YOU ALSO
SCHEDULED I REMEMBER WHEN
DEBATING THIS COUPLE’S HOUSE
AND WE RIPPED THE ROOF OFF
BECAUSE THE GUY SAID YES,
SUNDAY IS THE PERFECT TIME TO
GO AHEAD AND START SINGLING WE
WITH THAT PLYWOOD OFF ABOVE
THE OTHER DAY LOOK DOWN AND
THAT WAS IT. I HEARD HER SAY I
WAS LEAVING. I CAN’T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
WHEN I WAS LIKE, OH, BOY, YOU
IT. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. WHEN
YOU’RE DOING YOUR RENOVATION
LIKE WIN, HOW IT’S GOING TO BE
DONE AND WHAT IT WILL BE
FINISHED BECAUSE IT CAN REALLY
STRESSED OUT RELATIONSHIP TO
SAY THE YEAH.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: EVEN IF
YOU’RE SINGLE AND YOU’RE DOING
IT, I MEAN, IT IS STRESSFUL.
AND IT ALMOST ALWAYS COSTS
MORE THAN WHAT YOU BUDGETED
ESPECIALLY LATELY. IT’S LIKE
DOUBLE SOMETIMES TRIPLE. BUT
YOU’VE GOT TO PLAN. WELL, GOT
TO PLAN. WELL, YES, I WANT TO
ASK YOU THIS. WHAT IS YOUR
ADVICE FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE
LOOKING TO SPRUCE UP THEIR
HOME? THEY’RE LIVING SPACE,
GET SOME ZAHN IN THEIR LIVES,
BUT ALSO. YOU KNOW, PROTECT
THEIR THEIR WALLETS. IS THERE
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO REALLY
THAT? YEAH.
>> I MEAN, LOOK, I COME FROM A
SHOW WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU
SPEND $1000 TO YOU KNOW, I
MEAN, THAT WAS MY HUMBLE
BEGINNINGS, AND LET’S FACE IT.
THE DESIGNERS LEFTY LIKE 40
BUCKS DID BUILD 5 PIECES OF
FURNITURE. SO THERE’S
DEFINITELY THINGS YOU CAN DO
VERY CHEAPLY TO ADD A BIT OF
FRESHNESS BECAUSE THE SWING,
HERE’S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
WHAT YOU WANT TO JUST ADD A
FRESH WITH A COLOR, WHETHER
THAT’S ON ON A WALL WEATHER
THAT’S GOING THROW PILLOW,
WHETHER THAT’S ON JUST WINNING
PLANTS LIKE EITHER TO YOUR
FRONT PORCH OR IF YOUR DECK OR
EVEN JUST INSIDE YOUR HOUSE.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, AS YOU
GUYS CAN KILL DOWN
JACKSONVILLE LIKE SPRING IS
HERE AND YOU CAN FEEL LIKE
SUMMER RIGHT AROUND THE
CORNER. AND SO I THINK IT’S
ALSO TIME TO START REALLY
PLANNING LIKE OUTDOOR
ENTERTAINING AND SPENDING TIME
OUT THERE BECAUSE WE CAN
FINALLY OPEN THE DOORS AGAIN,
BECAUSE WE ALL EXPERIENCE THAT
THREES IN JANUARY WHERE ALL
THE PLANTS GUY WE’RE LIKE,
YEAH, I CAN’T WAIT. YOU KNOW,
BUT I THINK IT’S ABOUT REALLY
BRINGING LITTLE BIT OF
FRESHNESS. AND SOMETIMES
THAT’S JUST A GALLON OF PAINT.
IT CAN ALSO BE LIKE A REALLY
BRIGHT THROW PILLOW OR IT
COULD BE OF SOMETHING. YOU
FIND THAT THE THAT ALL AT THE
FLEA MARKET THRIFT STORE THAT
YOU’RE LIKE, LOOK HOW COOL
THIS IS. AND THE MINUTE YOU
PUT THAT ON THE WALL. SO
YOU’VE GOT TO MOVE THIS. AND
YOU’VE GOT TO THINK IT’S ALL
NEW ROUTE. ALL RIGHT. YOU’RE
GETTING US STARTED TIE. YOU
