mber I did this house.
These people hired me to do this house.
Brand new construction.
And I was working on the paint schedule,
and I painted every room a different color.
And it wasn't until the painters were in there painting
that I'm like "What have I done?"
It was like a ----ing whorehouse of rainbow.
[laughs]
- Okay.
You know, we're gonna start every morning just site visits.
- Okay.
- We will map out every single job site we have
because the job sites change so frequently.
I'm excited about this.
- For sure.
- Mary?
Oh, wow, this is great.
It's timeless.
I love all this.
Hi, Leo. - Jennifer.
- How are you?
- Pretty good. How are you?
- Good. Hi, Mary.
- Hey!
- How are you? - Good.
- Thank you.
- Okay, one thing I thought we could do, Mary,
is do you see how this is all tile base here?
- Yeah.
- And then it goes into wood in here?
Do you want to switch it to tile?
- Uh, yeah. I'll do whatever.
- Okay. Mary is a young mother
that lives in Oklahoma City
kind of in the suburb, gated community areas.
And she emails the office
and she says, "I bought the house in my neighborhood
that you did 10 years ago."
And I couldn't believe it because I loved this house.
Thank you for bringing the samples, Sydnye.
- You're welcome.
- So as you can see,
the tile has yellowed.
Didn't age well.
So it's all got to be jackhammered up.
But Mary wants the project done yesterday.
- Okay. - [laughs]
- Which is the quickest ship?
Either one of these two will be your quickest.
- Well, I like any of those options, so...
- I do, too.
This house has great bones.
I love the architecture of it.
It has this fabulous staircase,
a Venetian plaster fireplace
and a lights-out kitchen with a gigantic island.
The floor plan is very open,
so for family, for entertaining it's spectacular.
Okay, so Leonel, flat incredible light.
- Sitting flat, okay.
- Eggshell on all the walls.
- Okay.
- Take down all of the drapes. - Okay.
- The good news is we can use the same hardware
because it's measured for that. - Yeah.
- The way it looked before is beautiful.
I mean, I designed it.
So I'm just saying.
But for Mary and her family
to really make it feel like their own,
stuff has got to be updated.
Are you excited? - I'm so excited.
- It's a great house.
- My kids are counting down the days.
- Are they? - Uh-huh.
- Are you worried about these stairs with your four-year-old?
- Well, that's crossed my mind.
- [laughs] Okay, so all of this, Leonel,
is gonna get sassy blue.
- Sassy blue, okay.
- Flat, eggshell. - Okay.
- We're getting rid of all this.
It's always a challenge to design kid's rooms
because their taste changes dramatically as they get older.
Chandelier down. - Yeah.
- So we're gonna take the chandelier
from the bedroom downstairs and put it here.
It'll look darling.
And then my drapery guy will take down those drapes.
- Okay. - This bedroom has been
completely redesigned in the last 10 years
by somebody else.
- Okay. - Perfect.
I need to update this room
and pick things that will age well
and have more longevity.
So this is Pressley's room. - Mm-hmm.
- These come down. - Yes.
- Is this where she wants a blush color?
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
My main challenges moving forward with this project
is the house that she's coming from is very traditional,
but she's bought a very modern home.
And so her only instruction to me is this is new for me.
It has to be kid-friendly
and I don't want the things
that we purchase through you to date quickly.
I want these things to age gracefully.
The floors are not in bad shape, just whatever they put on them.
- Right.
- It almost looks waxed or something.
- Yeah, shiny floors.
Jen hates shiny floors.
- I do not like shiny wood floors.
I just don't.
I don't like any sort of reflection
from floors or ceilings.
I think they should always be matte.
- She hates it. I hate it, too, but she hates it.
- I hate it. I hate it.
It's glowing. - [laughs]
- It's glowing,
and that's why it looks so shiny
and not a good shiny.
So I put a matte finish on these floors 10 years ago.
Well, the homeowner was mopping the floor
with this kind of enhancer
that turned a matte floor into a shine.
I'll have him throw down some color,
'cause I think we might even go lighter.
I think it will look really good.
- But that'll still be okay for the 16th
when they bring my stuff over?
- I think so.
We're up against the gun here with Mary's project.
We have five weeks to get Mary's house done
before her kids go back to school.
We have to refinish all of the wood floors.
We have to paint the entire house.
We have to remodel a master bathroom
as well as the powder bathroom.
- We're going full speed ahead. We're moving fast.
Everybody better bring their A game.
We're going early, we're staying late
and, I mean, it is like let's roll.
- This is the coolest thing ever.
How do you do it?
- I don't know. In fact, I was here
when the realtor was trying to figure it out.
I don't know if I'll ever figure it out.
Are you trying to open it?
- Oh, there you go, Alex.
There you go.
- How many blondes does it take to open a sliding door?
- Right.
- What's your style of interior design?
- He has a frame that I really like.
It's like this wooden frame, but inside the frame
is this like fat guy with his shirt off
drinking a Budweiser sitting on a keg.
- That's a good start. - Yeah, it's good.
But I like the frame.
- Josheroo?
- Pumps! What are you doing?
- I'm trying to figure out my kids' pictures, love muffin.
- Oh, [bleep].
- Don't get up and help. Let me do it.
- [laughs]
- I really need you to take pictures of my kids.
[laughs]
- [moans] I hate--
- I know. Hate. - Hate.
- Kids' pictures. - Taking kids' pictures.
One of the first things
that you sort of want to drop off your radar
as you get more advanced in photography is family photos.
- Kids' photos, yeah.
- No more fat babies in the park
with sh-- all over their face.
- We've got to mark the 13, 16, and 18.
These are all big birthdays.
Don't make me bring in the sheriff.
- It's not hard to be on time!
It is not hard! Y'all drive me crazy!
I'm gonna start telling you guys 7 A.M.
- I don't need her clubbing me like a baby seal
any more than she already is.
- Than she already does. - Here's the three conditions.
