05:23so he knows what the masses want
05:25and that's what I'm here to do
05:26the first zone I'd like you to start with is
05:28the master suite
05:30okay yeah
05:31do you want to know which house is which
05:33yes
05:34well then just push your garage door remote
05:36oh that one's opening
05:41oh
05:42oh
05:46I know those legs
05:47the minute that the garage opens
05:48let's see my secret weapon
05:50so boring
05:51he is my partner in all of my homes
05:54he'll take what I give him and he just makes my vision come to life
05:58Scott
05:59Scott was my contractor for season one of hidden potential
06:02and I don't even know how many subdivision renovations we've done together
06:05here in Southern California
06:06so I think this gives me a definite edge
06:08I'm so glad he's on this project with me
06:10my brother's my contractor
06:12he's here from Pittsburgh to help me
06:14he's family
06:15so he knows exactly what I like
06:17he makes all of my strange ideas happen
06:20even though he complains
06:21he doesn't
06:22yeah
06:23garage door goes up
06:24and I see Cory
06:25which means I know which house I have
06:27Cory is my project manager
06:29in Indianapolis
06:30he can fix a lot of random things
06:33warnings are his weakness
06:34and sometimes his pants are too tight
06:36he's a good partner in time
06:37all right
06:38go go go
06:39later
06:40you guys have four weeks to rock the block starting now
06:42there you are already
06:44I made it
06:45I got some work to do
06:46welcome to the west coast
06:48yeah
06:49definitely want to paint
06:52this is nice
06:53this is not bad
06:54so this is our place
06:55I'm gonna kick some butt man
06:56okay
06:57okay
06:58it's a beautiful house
06:59oh man
07:00whoa
07:01the door needs to change
07:03yeah
07:04this is what we're starting with
07:05I've never renovated a house that started out this nice
07:09no dead animals
07:10no poo
07:11our ceilings are usually caved in
07:12and it's been raining inside the house for 10 plus years
07:15this is nice
07:16we've got four identical homes
07:19everything looks the same
07:20they have good layouts
07:21they have nice high ceilings
07:23they have super tall doors
07:27but it's very base grade
07:29so I want to tear that out and get way more custom
07:32if we're gonna up the value of the house
07:34this backyard is huge
07:36what if we put in a pool
07:39a pool
07:40and then with the kitchen
07:41this thing is huge
07:42it doesn't look like a big house
07:43but it feels really grand with these ceilings
07:46okay this is a huge space for a master
07:50it's day one and drew has assigned the master suite
07:55my plan is
07:56spend all the money in the most important rooms
07:58and the master suite is definitely one of them
08:01this is awesome
08:02this is massive massive
08:04high ceilings
08:05this is a great size
08:07this could be such a better shower bath situation
08:10are we gonna change that?
08:12Steve, are we gonna change it?
08:14yeah
08:15yes
08:16I see getting more square footage in the actual bedroom
08:20super simple and clean
08:21two barn doors
08:23kind of a french door style
08:24you walk in and you're looking at this gorgeous bathtub
08:27separate shower
08:29needs to be bigger
08:31for the master closet
08:32I'm gonna knock down this wall
08:33and borrow some square footage from the garage
08:36to make it even bigger
08:37we hide the toilet in the back
08:38why the heck is that the highlight?
08:40this is a one of a kind bathroom
08:42I'm excited
08:45my style is
08:47my style
08:49it's always very important for me to design for an emotional reaction
08:53oh my god
08:55tons of whites
08:56tons of natural elements
08:58different types of texture to make it feel warm
09:01the other girls
09:02all have really different style than I do
09:04I'm gonna just stay true to Liam Ford in this one
09:06bigger master bedroom
09:08and a bigger bathroom
09:10we need to look at our budget
09:12because you know the other girls are gonna be doing crazy stuff
09:15the bedroom size is good
09:17the bathroom looks huge
09:19the bedroom itself
09:20is a good size
09:21nice high ceilings
09:22there's lots of natural light
09:23but I don't think that's a smart place to spend money on the budget
09:26what I really want to focus on is the ensuite bathroom
09:29this is where we spend our money
09:31we're tearing out this tub shower insert
09:33making a giant spa-like walk-in shower
09:36nice Roman tub
09:38the master vanity
09:39I'm actually gonna salvage the base
09:41beef up the cabinets a bit
09:42maybe put some faux fun feet on them
09:45so it looks like furniture
09:46do sconces in between
09:48makes it a little nicer
09:49master closet's nice
09:51hey
09:52in the closet
09:53I wanna do tons of clothes storage
09:55because that's a really easy way
09:56to make something really messy look really clean
09:59be functional
10:00cutesy
10:01whimsical
10:02this is gonna be cool when we're done with it
10:04renovating to increase appraised value
10:06is what I do that's what my business is based on
10:08usually we're in very transitional neighborhoods
10:11but my husband and I just built our forever home
10:14and the way I did our house is what I want to do here
10:16but the only thing that I'm gonna struggle with is
10:18I'm in California
10:20so what increases the appraised value here
10:23is probably very different from what does an entity
10:25I know these other chicks are super awesome
10:27so I'm just gonna take things as they come
10:30figure it out
10:32breathe
10:33all right I'm excited to get started inside
10:36the master is like its own thing
10:37you know what I mean
10:38this is pretty
10:39like it's its own wing
10:40we do have privacy here
10:42this bedroom's a good size space
10:43but I just am not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet
10:46the places that you spend most of your time
10:48are really in the bathroom and in the closet
10:50that's where you want to spend a lot of your time and your money
10:53if you've got a space this big which we never do in Chicago
10:56we do a free-standing top
10:58centered with this window
11:00bigger shower
11:01I could do a nice big kind of bench in the shower
11:04bring the tile all the way up
11:06double vanity
11:08and then really open it up with mirrors all the way to the ceiling
11:11and the closet
11:12organization storage
11:14the whole thing for his and hers
11:16this is key
11:17this is where we can actually win it
11:18yeah
11:19this is what I was born to do
11:20I love vintage and modern
11:22something that's so beautiful and luxurious
11:25dripping in luxury
11:27I want to make sure it looks sophisticated
11:29that's why I'm able to sell a ton of homes
11:31I'm a very competitive person
11:33I'm here to win it
11:34I'm not going home without it
11:36there's no such thing as second place
11:38so I have no choice
11:40I'm gonna put a lot of money in this
11:42ah the master
11:44ooh master bedroom
11:46this is plenty big
11:47I think we can like design the crap out of this
11:50yeah
11:51we put a king-size bed
11:52add curtains that you pull real easy
11:54make this a little bit more intimate
11:56some wallpaper
11:57so master bath
11:59this is where we got to spend some money
12:00this is what people look at
12:02do something way better with this wall
12:04make it like
12:05bam
12:06feature
12:07put tile floors in
12:11yeah
12:12really luxurious mirrors
12:13some tile
12:14do some sort of like a freestanding tub
12:16we got to do a bigger shower
12:18alright master closet
12:19let's open up this wall
12:21we can have an actual doorway
12:23to the laundry room
12:25connect those two
12:26that's what's going to sell the house
12:28that's what the buyer
12:29is the person that's using the master bath
12:31true
12:32my design style is California casual
12:34it's more of a lifestyle than a design
12:36you know it's coastal
12:37it's beachy
12:38it's cool
12:39but at the same time
12:40it's for families
12:41I also pride myself
12:42on coming up with innovative solutions
12:44like the little hidden unexpected details
12:47what?
12:48that you wouldn't find in most houses
12:50and you pull this secret book
12:52it's kind of what makes a signature Jasmine Roth home
12:56let's start in here
12:58and we'll just like construction our way out of here
13:01alright
13:02alright
13:02yep
13:03let's start getting everything out carefully
13:06so we don't damage it
13:07and so we can repurpose whatever we can
13:09we're not just demoing the master suite
13:11we're doing the entire house
13:12oh
13:13alright
13:14lose the drywall
13:16all these uppers off
13:21one, two, three
13:24you got that?
13:27yep
13:27this is by far the nicest house that I've ever had a demo day on
13:36and as a matter of fact most of it's uninstalling not actually demoing
13:41because they're really nice
13:42they're just not competition material
13:44so we've had our game plan pretty well put together at our house
13:49and now Cory and I are going to go on a little spy mission
13:52and just check out other people's trash piles
13:55looks like they cut their tub out too
13:57no countertops
13:58Allison's got her master bath unit out
14:01which I think everyone's going to do
14:02nothing terribly interesting
14:04please get out
14:06don't worry we're leaving
14:07we're just checking out your trash
14:09but we walk up to Leanne's
14:11oh man
14:12she has it completely open
14:13and you can from the sidewalk
14:15see all the way through her house
14:17master bathroom I think
14:19she's removed the wall between the garage
14:22and making it part of the master bath
14:24so her master bath is going to be huge
14:26I know I need to re-
14:27I need to re-think about that
14:29do you need some sinks?
14:30no we got something in our eyes
14:32damn
14:34that's interesting
14:35I like what she's doing
14:36I think what she probably did is this is her whole bathroom now
14:39and that's going to be her walk-in closet
14:42is it actually going to raise the appraised value more than my bathroom?
14:45I don't know there's lots of thoughts going around in my head
14:48but she definitely got in my head
14:52this is great by the way
14:54I mean it's a great spot for a bathtub
14:57one of the key features of my bathroom is going to be this really cool claw foot tub
15:01that's going to make this bathroom look really unique
15:03it's going to up the value and hopefully blow the other girls out of the water
15:07I've never installed a single unit tub shower condo
15:11and I've definitely never uninstalled a single unit tub shower combo
15:16that bathtub in the master bath
15:19is like a boat
15:20and trying to get it out of there
15:22it has to come out in pieces
15:33so we're trying to remove this thing
15:35and I look over at Scott
15:37and I notice something horrible
15:39I can see the outside from here
15:42it's probably not a good thing
15:43no you can't
15:44I just saw the outside
15:46push it one more time
15:47yeah look
15:47you've just cut through the house
15:49shut your mouth
15:50I'm not even kidding
15:52I can see the outside from here
15:57you've just cut through the house
15:58shut your mouth
15:59I'm not even kidding
16:00Scott cut through the drywall
16:01and the exterior stucco of the house
16:03I can see the outside from here
16:05oh man
16:06you literally cut through the outside of the house
16:09the whole point of this competition
16:10is to use a hundred and seventy five thousand dollars
16:12to increase the value of this house
16:14I mean
16:15this is bad
16:16yeah I can patch this up
16:17but it's going to cost money
16:19any more setbacks like this
16:20and I'm not going to win this competition
16:22whoo
16:40this is a pretty awesome tile
16:41huh
16:42I love it
16:42this tile is so good
16:44all imperfect
16:45I'm taking a gamble
16:47using a big chunk of the budget
16:49to do the master suite
16:50gorgeous
16:51we're doing this very expensive
16:52chevron tile
16:53just to elevate things
16:55keep it artisanal and beautiful
16:57my plan is
16:58honestly risky
17:00but that's the way
17:01I'm going to add value to this home
17:03Steve always complains
17:05about how imperfect the tile is
17:07look how good it looks
17:09why don't you try doing tile
17:10some type of hands
17:12always complaining
17:14come on
17:21our valves finally came in
17:23yay
17:24we're a little behind in here
17:26because we can't close up these walls
17:28until we get the valves put in place
17:30which is exciting
17:31because we are behind on the shower
17:33after sneaking down and seeing
17:35what Leanne is doing
17:36with her master closet
17:38master bathroom right here
17:39I feel like I've got to up the ante
17:41and I think I'm gonna be able to do it
17:43in my master bath
17:44and get really high-tech with the shower
17:46we've got the control
17:48so it's all like electronic
17:50people will definitely pay more
17:52for smart features in a home
17:53you can be like
17:54shower on
17:56I just want all the water
17:58coming from every direction
17:59I want it to be crazy
18:00body sprayer
18:02hand-held
18:03shh shh
18:04Leanne made her bathroom like 500 square feet bigger
18:06she busted this wall out
18:08made closet part of the bathroom
18:10and this is my guess
18:11it's like its own separate zip code
18:13don't think that necessarily increases the appraised value
18:15I'm getting in my head about it
18:19what this looks so good
18:21this is greater than I expected
18:23this is so pretty
18:24my master bathroom is really coming together
18:26I love the corner
18:27we've gotten most of the tile work done
18:29except for the tile floor
18:30it's green
18:31it's really pretty
18:32it goes here
18:33there's a beautiful mint green floor tile
18:35that we're installing
18:36I'm excited to see that come into play
18:37so there's like a lot of materials going
18:39mixing different textures
18:40adding a pop of color
18:42but totally works for a family
18:47Jack is here with me in California
18:49which is perfect
18:50because he's just my happy place
18:52what do you think?
18:53the plumbers installed all the shower heads
18:57and it looks really cool
18:58I'm really excited to see us making progress
19:00well we have a problem
19:01why?
19:02with those
19:03the inspector is concerned about the water usage here
19:06the excessive amount of water usage here
19:08we have to take them out
19:09there's 13 gallons a minute
19:11they're not going to let that fly
19:12I don't believe you
19:13well you'll believe it when I'm taking these down
19:19your plan uses too much water
19:21and the city's not going to let that happen
19:23we have to take them out
19:24I don't believe you
19:25there's 13 gallons a minute
19:26they're not going to let that fly
19:27I've already paid for the shower system to be installed
19:29I don't believe you
19:30well you'll believe it when I'm taking these down
19:32I can't return it
19:33and even if I could
19:34I don't have time to get a new one
19:36and install it before Tariq gets here
19:37your hand sprayer's going to have to go
19:39or your irrigation inside
19:41no
19:42pick one
19:43no I'm not picking any
19:44but you want me to tell the city inspector
19:45that we're keeping these
19:46and you can go pound sand
19:48that's what we're going to tell them
19:49with another option
19:51obviously we already have this shower installed
19:53I don't want to concede on that
19:54the idea that I have for my landscaping
19:56isn't something that I want to concede on either
19:58it's just super important for curb appeal
20:00I think it's going to increase appraised value
20:02new plan
20:03keep this
20:04make up for the water usage
20:06in this
20:07by cutting our irrigation outside
20:10and doing turf inside of sod
20:11I'm glad we're getting turf out back anyways
20:13you're not even listening anymore
20:14I'm happier now
20:16we have options
20:17not just problems
20:18clean your tush
20:19shh shh shh shh shh
20:21my only concern is
20:23I don't want it to come back to bite me later
20:24that I spent money there
20:25that I should have spent somewhere else
20:27hey Ari
20:29yeah what's up
20:30this is my floor
20:31so this floor is actually the entire master bathroom
20:33that's the whole floor?
20:34and the closet
20:35wow that is impressive
20:36my strategy in the master bathroom is all about sophistication
20:39and class
20:40when you've got a $20,000 closet
20:42I don't want to mess around
20:43so marble marble marble
20:45and being used in different ways
20:46oh wow
20:47that is gorgeous
20:48I wanted something elegant and sophisticated
20:52all of it's in Carrera marble
20:53so that's an upgrade in any buyer's eyes
20:56it's like a spa in here
20:57you don't have to spend a ton of money
20:59to make it look really sophisticated
21:01you just have to spend it right
21:03in order to justify spending money on like marble everywhere
21:07the master bedroom flooring
21:09I kept the price down big time
21:11it's a laminate
21:12and I just feel like the color tones
21:14are really going to help us
21:15especially with some of the work
21:16that we're going to do throughout
21:17as long as I stay in line and on budget
21:19and doing it the right way
21:20and spending it the right way
21:21then I feel good
21:22but I feel a little fear
21:24and only for one person
21:26Leanne
21:30I'm going to really stay laser focused
21:32and not worry about the other girls
21:34because there's a couple more days
21:36to get this master suite turned around
21:38where honestly this would take months
21:44this is like a small boat
21:46let's look in the closet
21:47this was the storage in the garage
21:49so we've gained all of that square footage
21:51they still have a massive walk-in closet
21:53even though they have a larger
21:56significantly larger bathroom
21:58I can't imagine anyone changing the layout
22:01as much as I did
22:02because I'm crazy
22:14when I think about upping the property value
22:16of any home
22:17I think of the fixtures
22:18I have a freestanding tub
22:20it has an inline heater
22:21and heated bubbles
22:22it is the creme de la creme
22:24of freestanding tubs
22:29the master closet completed
22:31is about 16 grand
22:32I have just upped my game
22:34with the finish
22:35the layout
22:36and the accessory
22:37of the 360 rotating shoe closet
22:40it's going to up the value big time
22:42and to have an intelligent toilet like this
22:45this is a $7,000 toilet
22:47in your master
22:49that's going to up the value
22:51at this point
22:53I've put all my time
22:54all my money
22:55into the master bathroom
22:57and the walk-in closet
22:58but I haven't done a thing
23:00with my master bedroom
23:01I don't know what the
23:02I'm going to do
23:03but I can't spend any more money
23:04on the master
23:05otherwise I'm not going to have
23:06any more money
23:07for the rest of the house
23:12Tarek's going to be here
23:13in a couple days
23:14but I haven't done a thing
23:15with my master bedroom
23:16I've put all my money
23:17into the master bathroom
23:19and the walk-in closet
23:20and now I'm just sitting there
23:21in this master bedroom
23:23going what am I going to do
23:24I don't have any money left
23:26so all of a sudden
23:28I'm thinking headboard wall
23:29it's just poplar
23:30just on the drywall
23:31putting it up in a grid pattern
23:33and painting it all black
23:35all of a sudden you look like
23:36you've got this very expensive wall
23:38$70 of material
23:39it took us one hour to put it up
23:41yeah I love this
23:42huge value
23:43time is money
23:45and honestly
23:46we're running out of both
23:47these guys are racing
23:48to get this tile laid
23:49where do you want it?
23:50I'm gaining some ground
23:51I even got my tub in
23:52oh yeah
23:53luckily
23:54in the master bedroom
23:56I'm not really making
23:57that many changes
23:58some wallpaper
23:59but other than that
24:00it's all just furnishings
24:01it's perfect
24:02I have a lot of work to do
24:06maybe like four or five slaps
24:07for the bathroom
24:08between the vanity
24:09and the shower
24:10run it this way
24:12flooring I chose is EVP
24:14it's a vinyl product
24:15herringbone it into here
24:16herringbone
24:17definitely a selling point
24:18it's something that's
24:19a little bit different
24:20a little bit cool
24:21super durable
24:22looks really good
24:23with our giant soaking tub
24:25I think we should just do
24:26carpet in here
24:27you're so good
24:28in the master closet
24:29I've cut an opening
24:30from the laundry room
24:31now your dryer is
24:32two steps from your closet
24:33so it's perfect
24:34so you walk into the garage
24:37we added this door
24:39into the master closet
24:40which I think is a huge win
24:41for this floor plan
24:42I feel like I need to do
24:43something that's low cost
24:44but can add significant value
24:46to this master suite
24:47secret bookshelf door
24:51I think it's a great idea
24:53I love this
24:54alright
24:59so it's reveal day
25:00I feel good
25:01just gonna take it to the wire
25:03and keep doing the finishing touches
25:05I wanna do two massive barn doors
25:07kind of a french door style
25:08into a massive master
25:10I want to open these doors
25:12and see this magnificent space
25:15and guess what I have
25:17what?
25:18wallpaper
25:19go get it
25:20this wallpaper definitely leans
25:22towards you know
25:23the feminine vibe
25:25I love this
25:26it's either going to be perfect
25:28or it's gonna suck
25:29lift it up here
25:32this is so epic
25:35the wallpaper installation
25:36is a little tricky
25:37ugh
25:38I don't know if this is how it goes
25:40the problem is
25:41MJ gave him the measurements sideways
25:43and this is not what we should be doing
25:44instead of printing it in vertical strips
25:47where you're working with gravity
25:49to install it
25:50we have two long horizontal strips
25:52which are making it extremely difficult
25:55to install smooth
25:57do not let it stick to itself
25:59like is happening
26:01next time I'm putting in the vinyl order
26:03okay?
26:04this is crazy
26:05we need more hands
26:12oof
26:13targ's coming
26:14and it looks like
26:15I'm over this honestly
26:17Cory's good at a lot of things
26:19wallpaper is not one of them
26:21no I don't like this vinyl
26:22100% the weakest link
26:24it takes a certain amount of patience
26:26and finesse
26:27put your hand right here
26:28and don't let go
26:29Cory, I told you not to let go
26:32I didn't
26:33you did let go
26:34your hand wasn't on it
26:35therefore
26:36your seam wasn't even lined up
26:37let go
26:38while he is good at a lot of things
26:40those really aren't any of the things
26:43why do you keep letting go
26:44of where I told you not to let go
26:45it's not sticky, Mina
26:46Cory, get down
26:47you need a moment
26:48get down
26:49I do need a moment
26:50I'll be better
26:51take a moment
26:52hopefully the flowers are made to look kind of wrinkly
26:56so we can embrace that
26:59time's running out
27:01and I'm running out of steam
27:04please lord
27:05oh
27:06don't pull that
27:08I'm just only worried about staging my home
27:11question is do we just run it the opposite way
27:13three
27:14let's turn it on
27:15just for fun
27:16I think every master bedroom should feel like you're in a five-star hotel
27:19that's what I want Tariq to see
27:21because really he's coming in with this fresh set of eyes
27:24like a homeowner would
27:25everything needs to be perfect
27:27oh yeah this way for sure
27:28this way, alright
27:29staging, yes!

28:07imperfect to me is perfect
28:09okay will you hang those?
28:11I'm gonna go get the accessories
28:12so much to do so little time
28:14let's lean this onto that door
28:16this is cool
28:17because it's like jeans
28:18like an old pair of jeans
28:19but then it's dressed up a little
28:20makes this bedroom feel dressy and casual
28:23hey you guys we have 10 minutes

28:43time's up
28:44you know the other designers
28:46they're good at their jobs
28:48but this one might be better
28:50hello
28:58hello
28:59hey
29:00I hear hey where are you
29:01hi
29:02Tariq is here to judge our master suites
29:04and I'm feeling good
29:05I'm feeling ready
29:06he really knows Southern California real estate
29:08so I think I've done way more than enough to impress him
29:11that wall
29:12oh
29:13okay absolutely love it
29:21I want to make a headboard wall that everybody would love
29:23oh this is just the drywall
29:25that's literally just the orange peel walls everywhere
29:27I just learned something
29:28that is really
29:29see
29:30I'm 100% stealing this
29:31we have gold
29:32we have brass
29:33we have black
29:34love everything about it
29:35love the color scheme
29:36so I think you nailed it in here
29:37thank you
29:38love the flooring too
29:39thanks
29:40I ended here right into marble
29:41right
29:42my only critique here
29:43I would say the transition of the vinyl to the marble
29:46the colors are a little bit off
29:48as we enter the bathroom
29:50this is a $7,000 toilet
29:52you took a pretty big gamble actually spending that much money of your budget on the toilet
29:56because most people are going to have no idea how much that thing is
29:59yes
30:10yes you nailed this
30:11thank you
30:12look how cool that is
30:13the entire wall
30:14it's like totally custom
30:15you'll get a return
30:16all day
30:17we wanted to make sure that I still had a bathtub
30:19because I feel like for resale with kids and everything
30:22this is a money spot
30:24there's one thing that you really went after is the coolness factor
30:26thank you
30:27the details
30:28the vanities in my opinion
30:29kind of looks like antique furniture which is cool
30:31like this is totally looks antique
30:33it has the gold
30:34it's beautiful
30:35thank you
30:36so this flooring leads you boom
30:37right into
30:38walk-in closet
30:39yeah
30:43there's never enough space for your shoes
30:44so I did this 360
30:46wow
30:47oh that is rad
30:48the great thing about a built-ins
30:50especially closet
30:51most people that buy a house
30:52they don't have the extra $15,000 to do this
30:55so this is a home run in my opinion
30:57between the custom closet
30:58the high-end fixtures
30:59and the custom headboard wall
31:01I guarantee the other girls didn't do anything like I did
31:04I elevated the master suite on every level
31:07hello
31:09hello
31:10wow
31:12tell me about it what is our theme here
31:18comfy
31:19lots of textures like you want to curl up
31:21and here
31:22we left the layout very much the same
31:24and spent money on obviously all new flooring
31:27oh I love this
31:28yeah so we switched it up did a transition
31:30and carried herringbone in through the rest of the area
31:33that's really smart I love changing the patterns on transitions
31:43I love the freestanding tub
31:45obviously need a soaking tub
31:48this wallpaper was definitely a little risky
31:50why don't you go a little bit bigger with the mirrors
31:52what was your thought on that?
31:53uh... there wasn't unfortunately
31:58yeah when they came
31:59I was like
32:00these are a little smaller than I had hoped they would feel in the space
32:03but that was like last night at midnight
32:06so this is probably where we spent like one of the bigger chunks of our budget
32:09I wanted full slab
32:11all the shower heads
32:12two body sprayers and two more shower heads
32:14so this is the first thing that caught my eye
32:16because you never see slab walls anymore
32:19we're talking about creating value and maximizing value
32:21this shower right here
32:23you nailed it
32:24buyers are going to love this
32:25and I love the fact that you brought some technology into the shower
32:28yeah
32:29and then we got our walk-in
32:34everything's behind doors
32:36added a chandelier
32:37you have a lot of built-ins
32:40both
32:41see I love this
32:42there's so much storage in here
32:44so this is a huge win
32:45the buyers are going to fall in love with this
32:46and then we added this little door over here
32:48so that was closed off
32:49so we were able to add the doors
32:51so we were directly to the laundry room
32:52all in all
32:53all in all I'm pretty happy with what Tarek said about my master bath
32:56he loved the slabs in the shower
32:58he really liked the closet
32:59he liked the herringbone floor
33:01all that stuff was positive
33:03the one thing he was unsure about was the graphic wallpaper
33:07that may not be for everyone
33:10hey
33:11what's up?
33:12wow look at this
33:13all right
33:19all right right away
33:20I love that light
33:21thank you
33:22the master bedroom
33:23I tried to keep it aesthetic
33:24because it wasn't a bad size
33:26in my opinion
33:27and just make it really cozy
33:29really welcoming
33:30and like
33:31lush
33:32the nice thing about this master
33:33is it does have this ensuite
33:34it ties in
33:35and then this is
33:36this is the wow factor
33:37why did you decide to go with so many different material choices
33:45because I see
33:46one
33:47two
33:48three
33:49four
33:50five
33:51I wanted to do something that was different
33:52I wanted to do something that felt really neutral
33:54and have different shapes
33:55and visual interest
33:57there's definitely a lot going on
33:58but it's um
33:59I mean that's real estate
34:00different people see different things
34:02this is really really cool
34:04you think it's cool?
34:05so this is brand new
34:06this is new vintage
34:07it looks old
34:08but it works
34:09because it's new
34:10exactly
34:11this feels like a hotel
34:12with the tile wall
34:13and the hanging lights
34:14that's what I was going for
34:15total hotel feel
34:16I liked the master bath countertops
34:18that came with the house
34:19so I kept them
34:20I did do new fixtures
34:22and they match in the shower as well
34:24so I added a hand shower
34:25I added the rain shower
34:26this is actually
34:27a really clean tile
34:29I like this
34:30I like it and it's porcelain
34:31so I didn't have to seal it
34:32it's never gonna stain
34:33I wanted to do something
34:34that was family friendly
34:35home run
34:36buyers are gonna love it
34:42the closet here
34:43I have this set up at home
34:44and I actually use this
34:45as more of a dressing room
34:46than a closet
34:47so I think this is an upgrade
34:48from what was here
34:49but I kept it pretty minimal
34:50and put most of my money
34:52into the bathroom
34:53as an upgrade from what was here
34:54I would have loved to have seen
34:55a little bit more cabinetry
34:56yeah
34:57me too
34:58but you have a budget
34:59in the original floor plan
35:01if you wanted to go
35:02to the laundry room
35:03you'd have to walk
35:04all the way around
35:05and it just like wasn't accessible
35:06so I added a door
35:08this is a secret bookcase
35:10oh no way
35:11the cool factor
35:12you got some bonus points
35:14this is rad
35:15he didn't like some of the tile
35:17and material choices
35:19or the lack of cabinets
35:20in the closet
35:21but that's not gonna affect
35:22the value very much
35:23overall I would say
35:24it was a positive review
35:25hello
35:26hey how's it going
35:29how are you
35:31how are you
35:32nice to see you
35:33oh my god
35:34I'll tell you what
35:35this is so different
35:36than the other houses
35:37and I love it
35:42what in the world
35:43is this texture on the wall
35:44do you like that
35:45you know we were going
35:46for natural
35:47simple
35:48honestly my thing is
35:49let your everyday
35:50be your vacation
35:51right
35:52we kept the concrete floors
35:54that came with the house
35:55I'm a guy
35:56I love the concrete
35:57I love the walls
35:58like that
35:59it's definitely artistic
36:00so the question is
36:01is it going to appeal to the masses
36:02no
36:03all we care about
36:04the one person who loves it
36:05and then you want to see the bathroom
36:07oh before we do that
36:10love this so much
36:11love the bottom door
36:13I thought the houses are the same floor plan
36:15it used to
36:20what did you do in here
36:23this is absolutely stunning
36:25we bumped out into that space
36:27in the great room
36:28and then it was all about
36:29this massive gorgeous tub
36:31this gorgeous shower
36:32and I just wanted it to be
36:33straight down the line
36:34the way you reconfigure this
36:35is just absolutely awesome
36:37and I think a buyer
36:38is going to pay top dollar
36:39like this is phenomenal
36:40this is a huge gamble
36:42but I just
36:43I think it's going to pay off
36:45we found this handmade imperfect tile
36:47and that creates this warm feeling
36:49in here
36:50it looks great
36:51toilet room is right behind the sink
36:53so why didn't you do anything in here
36:54it seems a little bland
36:55this is for one job only
36:58we have the closet too
37:00we actually reused everything that they had in their closet
37:03we pulled in from the garage
37:05this is extra square footage
37:07so we might have added value
37:08wait a minute
37:10this is actually the storage from the garage
37:12so you blew this entire thing out
37:14yeah
37:15wow
37:16alright you nailed it
37:17I love it
37:18I know this was a total wild card
37:21but
37:22this is a pretty nice bathroom to have in the house
37:25I'm all about the very specific buyer
37:27they may get it
37:28they may not
37:29as a California renovator
37:37my clients are always looking for the absolute best master suite
37:41you can't say my master suite
37:43you can't say my master suite isn't a complete upgrade
37:44the only person that might give me a run for my money is Liam
37:48maybe the other girls made better choices
37:50I just don't know
37:51I'm feeling really anxious
37:53I am not nervous
37:58I love keeping everything light bright and airy
38:01and that's what we did here
38:02I guarantee the other girls didn't transform the space as much as I did
38:06as you know
38:08as you know
38:09giving the buyers what they're looking for
38:10is key
38:11if you're going to get the highest price possible for the home
38:14for the most part
38:15you guys renovated the master suites to the max
38:18Allison
38:19your house was the first one that I toured
38:22and I absolutely loved it
38:23the design itself
38:24I love how you carried the floral pattern tile
38:26the marble
38:27across the entire wall
38:28I actually learned something today
38:30and you created that black accent wall
38:31I thought it was absolutely stunning
38:33and I really liked the overall look
38:35the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of
38:37was the transition of the vinyl to the marble
38:39I felt like the colors were a little bit off
38:41but overall I think you did a great job
38:43someone's going to fall in love with that house
38:45thank you
38:47Mina, so I had a great time touring your property
38:49I thought it was super unique
38:51instead of doing tile
38:52you did those big like faux marble slabs
38:54thought that was awesome
38:55you brought technology into the shower
38:57and I really like the fact that you spent some money
38:59on all those closets
39:01one thing was the wallpaper
39:03I like the wallpaper
39:05but when marketing to the masses
39:07I'm not sure everybody's going to love floral wallpaper
39:09but overall I think you nailed it
39:11and you did a really good job
39:12thank you
39:15Jasmine, I loved your bathroom too
39:17overall the design was awesome
39:19I loved the black and white clawfoot tub
39:21I was a little bit back and forth on
39:23separating the blue tile from the laminate flooring
39:25used a lot of different materials in the shower area itself
39:27if someone's artsy
39:29and they really like high design like that
39:31someone might fall in love with it
39:33but I thought it was super creative
39:35how you did the secret entry to the laundry room
39:37Jasmine also put a door from her master closet
39:41into the laundry room
39:43and I was hoping I was the only one that did that
39:45I think you did a great job
39:47thanks
39:49last but not least
39:51Leanne, your house just screamed like super cool hip Palm Springs
39:56like I love it
39:57it just felt like modern
39:59and like cool
40:00and the best thing you did there
40:02was completely reconfigure the actual house
40:06I mean you moved walls
40:07you moved bathrooms
40:08the way you redid the layout
40:09and you had that shower with no glass doors
40:11I thought that all came out stunning
40:14thank you
40:15Tarek describing Leanne's master sounds amazing
40:18but how much money did she spend?
40:20the only concern I have with your overall design
40:23it's a little bit plain
40:25and it was a little bit masculine
40:27and maybe a little bit cold to some buyers
40:29there's one master suite that I think buyers will pay a premium for
40:39I feel really really confident in the value that I've added for this home
40:44the decisions that we made hopefully they pay off
40:47I'm nervous
40:48this week could really be anybody's game
40:50that master suite belongs to
40:53Leanne
41:19Leanne
41:22I think you guys all nailed it
41:25did an amazing job
41:26like all of you are winners here today obviously
41:28I fell in love with yours because of the creativity
41:30of completely reconfiguring the space
41:33you went minimalistic in the bedroom
41:35but when I walked into that bathroom
41:37I felt like I was walking into a $3 million house
41:39the vibe you created was stunning
41:41I think you just knocked it out of the park
41:43so
41:44thank you
41:45that's why I think you're master walking right now
41:46thank you Tarek
41:47thank you
