[Giada] Do you want
any buckwheat cereal, Shane?
5
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:18,393
{\an8}I'm gonna pass on the buckwheat cereal.
6
00:00:18,394 --> 00:00:20,353
{\an8}- Is that a shocker?
- Too healthy?
7
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:21,479
Yeah.
8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,605
I kind of like it.
9
00:00:22,606 --> 00:00:24,816
{\an8}Hi, buddy. You want to taste some bagel?
10
00:00:24,817 --> 00:00:28,027
{\an8}Get all the cream cheese off me.
Now you have it on your nose!

00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,279
{\an8}[Shane] What's your day like today?
12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,323
{\an8}I'm gonna go meet the homeowners
and surprise them
13
00:00:32,324 --> 00:00:34,367
because we're renovating their kitchen.
14
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:36,995
Oh, a Giada surprise.
I love a Giada surprise.
15
00:00:36,996 --> 00:00:39,873
He definitely doesn't know I'm coming.
His wife knows, though.
16
00:00:39,874 --> 00:00:40,957
[Shane] That's cool.
17
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:42,542
[Giada] He makes
this really yummy Mexican dish
18
00:00:42,543 --> 00:00:44,419
that he's known for in his neighborhood.
19
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:46,087
Cochinita pibil.
20
00:00:46,088 --> 00:00:49,007
But his kitchen, you know,
needs some renovation.
21
00:00:49,008 --> 00:00:51,426
And his wife basically nominated him
22
00:00:51,427 --> 00:00:53,970
and said, like,
he's so inspirational to our family.
23
00:00:53,971 --> 00:00:56,055
So I'm really looking forward
to meeting them.
24
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,766
[Shane] This dish he makes is known
in the neighborhood?
25
00:00:57,767 --> 00:00:59,350
- Yeah.
- So everybody in the neighborhood's
26
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:01,311
winning by him getting a new kitchen.
27
00:01:01,312 --> 00:01:03,521
He has so many people over,
and it's not a big kitchen.
28
00:01:03,522 --> 00:01:05,857
[Shane] Have you ever surprised
someone and they don't know you?
29
00:01:05,858 --> 00:01:06,984
Yeah.
30
00:01:07,651 --> 00:01:08,819
Guess who they thought that I was.
31
00:01:09,612 --> 00:01:10,820
- Rachael Ray?
- Yes.
32
00:01:10,821 --> 00:01:12,363
[laughs]
33
00:01:12,364 --> 00:01:14,282
That was like 15 years ago.
34
00:01:14,283 --> 00:01:16,659
- That was not 15 years ago.
- It felt like 15.
35
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:18,244
I don't think that's a nice thing to say.
36
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:20,455
- [laughing]
- I don't think you tell somebody,
37
00:01:20,456 --> 00:01:22,040
"It feels like we've been
together longer."
38
00:01:22,041 --> 00:01:23,792
- Honey, come on.
- Feels like three weeks.
39
00:01:23,793 --> 00:01:25,543
When you say, "This feels like 15 years."
40
00:01:25,544 --> 00:01:26,753
That's not what I meant.
41
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:29,380
[Shane] Even Enzo shook his head like,
"That is horrible."
42
00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:31,466
All right, see you later. Bye, boo-boo.

[upbeat pop music playing]
44
00:01:37,348 --> 00:01:38,765
I'm Giada De Laurentiis,
45
00:01:38,766 --> 00:01:40,935
and for the last two decades,
I've been cooking.
46
00:01:44,063 --> 00:01:47,065
Between being a personal chef
for over five years
47
00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:48,274
and filling my food shows...
48
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:49,442
Ta-da!
49
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,736
...and constantly traveling
and cooking while on the go,
50
00:01:51,737 --> 00:01:54,405
I've cooked in more kitchens
than pretty much anyone.
51
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:57,367
So I think I know a thing or two
about setting up a great kitchen.
52
00:01:57,368 --> 00:01:59,327
[upbeat music continues]
53
00:01:59,328 --> 00:02:00,578
And you know what's frustrating?
54
00:02:00,579 --> 00:02:03,164
Is seeing so many cooks just stuck
55
00:02:03,165 --> 00:02:05,208
with a kitchen
that isn't working for them.
56
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:07,335
So we're having loved ones nominate
deserving home cooks
57
00:02:07,336 --> 00:02:09,587
whose kitchens need serious help
58
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,424
so they can finally have a functional
and beautiful kitchen.
59
00:02:16,887 --> 00:02:19,014
[upbeat pop music playing]
60
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:23,560
[phone line ringing]
61
00:02:23,561 --> 00:02:25,520
Whoa, these houses are big.
62
00:02:25,521 --> 00:02:26,479
Whoo!
63
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,730
- [Erick on phone] Hello?
- Erick!
64
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:29,107
{\an8}Hey, Giana.
65
00:02:29,108 --> 00:02:31,526
{\an8}I'm about, like, five minutes out.
66
00:02:31,527 --> 00:02:33,152
I was wondering where you were.
67
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:34,487
I'm not too far.
68
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:38,324
Erick Garcia is a fabulous
interior designer,
69
00:02:38,325 --> 00:02:41,828
{\an8}and he has celebrity clients
like Hailey Bieber,
70
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:43,162
{\an8}Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas
71
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:44,414
{\an8}and Jen Atkin.
72
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:46,916
He can be funky,
but he can also be traditional.
73
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:48,877
And I think what's important
about an interior designer
74
00:02:48,878 --> 00:02:50,086
is that they don't just have one look.
75
00:02:50,087 --> 00:02:53,464
They have many looks
depending on what they're feeling
76
00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:54,799
from the home.
77
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,217
And he has a Latin background,
78
00:02:56,218 --> 00:02:58,761
so he gets that the heart
of the home is the kitchen.
79
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:00,722
So it's really fun to work with him.
80
00:03:00,723 --> 00:03:04,225
He's helped me visualize
what's possible in this space.
81
00:03:04,226 --> 00:03:06,269
So don't go in
because I want to surprise Michael.
82
00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:08,730
[Erick]
Does he know what's happening yet, or...?
83
00:03:08,731 --> 00:03:12,025
He doesn't know.
He thinks he's gonna be on a show
84
00:03:12,026 --> 00:03:14,068
featuring delicious family recipes.
85
00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:16,154
And he doesn't know we're coming.
He doesn't know I'm coming.
86
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:18,031
He's gonna be so surprised.
87
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:20,116
I'm so excited to, like,
change their lives.
88
00:03:20,117 --> 00:03:22,328
Well, at least their kitchen lives. Ha!
89
00:03:23,579 --> 00:03:25,496
[Whitney]
Do you want me to start making tortillas?
90
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:27,123
{\an8}You want to? That'd be really good.
91
00:03:27,124 --> 00:03:30,084
{\an8}I don't really want to.
I'm very intimidated. But I will try.
92
00:03:30,085 --> 00:03:31,044
Excuse me.
93
00:03:31,045 --> 00:03:33,421
[Giada] Today, we're gonna
go meet the homeowners,
94
00:03:33,422 --> 00:03:37,008
Whitney and Michael
and their two kids, Guy and Gwen.
95
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:41,095
{\an8}Michael is cooking
his special heirloom family recipe,
96
00:03:41,096 --> 00:03:43,640
{\an8}cochinita pibil,
for his family and friends.
97
00:03:43,641 --> 00:03:46,184
And I really want to see,
how does he move in the kitchen?
98
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:47,518
What is the functionality?
99
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:50,563
And Whitney had told me
it's total chaos in that kitchen.
100
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:52,315
[Whitney] First, should we do guacamole?
101
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:54,150
[Michael] Yeah, I'll make some guacamole.
102
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:56,486
I need to clear off space
before we get to that.
103
00:03:56,487 --> 00:03:58,529
Oh. [Whitney laughs]
104
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:00,865
{\an8}I know that Giada is coming to our house,
105
00:04:00,866 --> 00:04:03,868
so I'm doing my best
to hold this big secret in.
106
00:04:03,869 --> 00:04:06,829
I cannot wait for him to find out
that we are redoing the kitchen.
107
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:09,248
I knew I had to apply for Michael
108
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:11,876
because he puts everybody else first.
109
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:13,503
When we were dating,
110
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:16,172
I got wined and dined, like, to the tens.
111
00:04:16,173 --> 00:04:18,383
And then last year,
at the beginning of the year,
112
00:04:18,384 --> 00:04:21,344
I was diagnosed
with stage one breast cancer.
113
00:04:21,345 --> 00:04:25,723
There were days I'd be way too tired
to cook or take care of the kids.
114
00:04:25,724 --> 00:04:29,061
And he pulled us all through,
all while he was working full time.
115
00:04:29,687 --> 00:04:31,647
My husband really saved my life.
116
00:04:32,564 --> 00:04:36,442
So if there's one person that deserves
a cool kitchen, it's my husband.
117
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:38,486
[Michael] How are you guys doing in there?
118
00:04:38,487 --> 00:04:40,029
[man] Really good. Mike.
119
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:41,948
Just me by my lonesome.
120
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:43,825
[Giada] We can design a nice kitchen.
121
00:04:43,826 --> 00:04:47,537
Just because it's a pretty kitchen
does not mean it makes a chef's kitchen.
122
00:04:47,538 --> 00:04:52,125
I want to design a functional kitchen
that really works for Michael.
123
00:04:52,126 --> 00:04:55,628
I know how much it means to me to have a
kitchen of my dreams after building mine.
124
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:58,674
It's gonna transform their lives,
which he deserves.
125
00:05:02,094 --> 00:05:04,178
- Hello.
- Hi.
126
00:05:04,179 --> 00:05:06,139
- Good to see you.
- It's nice to see you!
127
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,473
{\an8}- Are you ready?
- Yes.
128
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:10,019
{\an8}- I'm excited to see the reaction.
- I'm so ready. I know.
129
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,437
[knock on door]
130
00:05:12,438 --> 00:05:14,355
[man] Do you have anybody else coming?
131
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:16,315
What? Oh...!
132
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:17,817
[Michael laughing]
133
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,778
No way. What the--?
134
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:22,655
Oh, my gosh!
135
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,657
- [Giada] Can I come in?
- Yes!
136
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,492
What are you doing here?
137
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,119
- Hi!
- I'm Giada.
138
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,829
I know who you are!
139
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:31,414
- This is so surreal.
- And this is Erick.
140
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:33,291
- Hello. So nice to meet you.
- Hi, how are you?
141
00:05:33,292 --> 00:05:35,418
- [Giada] We're crashing your house.
- Oh, my God!
142
00:05:35,419 --> 00:05:37,296
- Hi, everybody.
- [all] Hi!
143
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,880
[producer] How are you feeling?
144
00:05:38,881 --> 00:05:40,757
Shocked. This is crazy.
145
00:05:40,758 --> 00:05:43,760
Giada, she's like celebrity chef royalty.
146
00:05:43,761 --> 00:05:46,387
- I'm Whitney.
- Hi, Whitney.
147
00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:48,306
[laughing] I'm Michael. Again.
148
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:50,808
- It's a pleasure, you guys.
- Wow!
149
00:05:50,809 --> 00:05:53,186
[Giada] Well, I'm here
because your wife told me
150
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:56,064
{\an8}you make great cochinita pibil,
and I want to learn how to make it.
151
00:05:56,065 --> 00:05:57,732
This is crazy!
152
00:05:57,733 --> 00:05:58,983
Let's go see.
153
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:01,027
- [laughing] Oh, no!
- [Whitney] No pressure, Michael.
154
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,487
[Michael] No pressure.
155
00:06:02,488 --> 00:06:04,239
- Kitchen's this way?
- [Michael] This way.
156
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:07,617
Welcome to our kitchen.
157
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:09,494
- [Giada] Oh, wow.
- [Michael] So this is basically
158
00:06:09,495 --> 00:06:11,496
my little hub right here.
159
00:06:11,497 --> 00:06:12,955
[Giada] All right, tell me what to do.
160
00:06:12,956 --> 00:06:15,833
So we'll pull out the blender, actually.
It's right over here.
161
00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:18,127
And where do you usually put the blender?
Over here?
162
00:06:18,128 --> 00:06:22,298
Usually over here.
I disconnect one of the juicing pieces.
163
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:23,800
I'm gonna rest this over here.
164
00:06:23,801 --> 00:06:25,468
[Giada]
So the laundry room comes in handy.
165
00:06:25,469 --> 00:06:26,969
[Michael] The laundry room is kind of like
166
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:30,098
where I keep extra ingredients
and stuff like that.
167
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:33,643
Cooking for Giada was excitement
and also a little fear.
168
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:34,769
[laughs]
169
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:36,062
Do you need this pan?
170
00:06:36,063 --> 00:06:37,480
- I have a cast-iron here.
- Okay.
171
00:06:37,481 --> 00:06:39,398
- I could put this away.
- [Michael] Yeah.
172
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,819
And kind of embarrassed because I'm like,
"Oh, my gosh, I got these knives."
173
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:44,362
"I know they're not sharp."
174
00:06:44,363 --> 00:06:46,781
I don't even want to hand her a knife
because it's not a chef knife.
175
00:06:46,782 --> 00:06:48,741
So these are chayote
176
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,326
we have to roast.
177
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:52,745
So while you're doing that,
I'm gonna marinate this.
178
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,330
[Giada]
Okay, let me see what you're doing.
179
00:06:54,331 --> 00:06:56,124
[Michael] So this is recado rojo.
180
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:57,792
Basically the marinade for the dish.
181
00:06:57,793 --> 00:06:59,252
Oh, it smells so good.
182
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:01,712
This is like my heritage
in a bowl here, basically.
183
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:04,507
When I'm making it,
there's a sense of pride with it, too.
184
00:07:04,508 --> 00:07:07,844
[Giada] Yeah. All right, so you're gonna
massage it and put it in the bowl? Okay.
185
00:07:07,845 --> 00:07:10,054
- So did you grow up eating this dish?
- [Michael] I did.
186
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:13,307
So my grandmother would make this dish
during Christmas,
187
00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:15,893
and it's a traditional dish
that we carried on.
188
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:17,562
So it brings back a lot of memories.
189
00:07:17,563 --> 00:07:21,065
Cochinita pibil
is literally a labor of love.
190
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:24,527
It's part of my family history,
but it's really difficult to make.
191
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:26,988
It's got a ton of ingredients.
192
00:07:26,989 --> 00:07:28,364
I take a mortar and pestle.
193
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:32,034
I mean, we're talking about smoking garlic
and different spices,
194
00:07:32,035 --> 00:07:34,328
and grinding it into a fine paste.
195
00:07:34,329 --> 00:07:36,789
So this has got to marinate
for at least two hours.
196
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,082
[Giada] Okay.
197
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:40,042
[Michael] I have a banana tree,
198
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:42,795
and we're gonna harvest
the banana leaf together.
199
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:45,424
- I love that!
- Then we're gonna roast it in banana leaf.
200
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,093
- So this is our backyard.
- [Giada] Beautiful!
201
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:51,596
And I'll grab a ladder
and I'll pull out a leaf.
202
00:07:51,597 --> 00:07:54,348
And this is what we're gonna use
for the cochinita.
203
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:56,184
Michael as a cook is very fun
204
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:59,478
because he gets very excited
and passionate, but he is a purist.
205
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:02,106
When we had Gwen's birthday party,
206
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:04,317
he wanted to make crepes for everybody.
207
00:08:04,318 --> 00:08:06,235
So I got crepe mix.
208
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:08,738
And Michael's like,
"Send it back. We don't need that."
209
00:08:08,739 --> 00:08:11,824
[Michael] I wanted it done right,
so I got all the correct ingredients.
210
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:15,328
And then what made it all
worthwhile was...
211
00:08:15,329 --> 00:08:16,495
[sighs]
212
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,080
[splutters and laughs]
213
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:19,874
Are you gonna cry right now?
214
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:24,296
My daughter Gwen came to order
the crepe from me.
215
00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:26,881
And she was just so happy.
216
00:08:26,882 --> 00:08:29,550
She said, "This is like...
This is the best, Daddy."
217
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,886
And so that's what's kind of going
in the mindset,
218
00:08:31,887 --> 00:08:34,681
it's like all of this love and care
is going into these moments.
219
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:37,683
- That was fun.
- [Michael] That was different. Right?
220
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,810
So we're gonna actually
toast them over the burner.
221
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:43,398
And that's gonna make them
nice and soft when you heat it up.
222
00:08:43,982 --> 00:08:45,983
- [Giada] Then do I put it in there?
- [Michael] Yes.
223
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:48,069
So I would say layer it just like that.
224
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:49,654
Kind of like we're wrapping a present.
225
00:08:49,655 --> 00:08:52,365
- [Giada] It's like a little blanket.
- [Michael] Yeah.
226
00:08:52,366 --> 00:08:54,200
So we're just gonna layer, like that.
227
00:08:54,201 --> 00:08:55,993
Wrap that bad boy up.
228
00:08:55,994 --> 00:08:58,079
What Michael and I share so much
229
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,581
is that we express our love
through our cooking.
230
00:09:00,582 --> 00:09:04,126
Cooking for our family,
cooking for our friends.
231
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:05,628
I love having my friends over.
232
00:09:05,629 --> 00:09:08,965
That is the way for me to express
233
00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:11,259
my gratitude
for their love and friendship.
234
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:14,011
And the door is always open. Always.
235
00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:16,055
[Michael] Okay, everyone, time to eat.
236
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,182
- Oh. Hey. Hello.
- [woman] Oh, my goodness!
237
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:21,143
- What? Thank you.
- Amazing. Thank you.
238
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:22,770
- Okay, let's do it.
- [man] Okay.
239
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:25,231
[woman] Oh, my gosh.
This is gorgeous, Michael.
240
00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:28,526
I love the banana leaf.
I just-- It's so beautiful.
241
00:09:28,527 --> 00:09:30,487
[contemplative music playing]
242
00:09:33,031 --> 00:09:34,199
Oh, my goodness.
243
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:36,575
It's so good.
244
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,995
- Oh, my gosh!
- [man] Congratulations.
245
00:09:38,996 --> 00:09:42,081
- Oh, my gosh.
- There's so much flavor in this meat.
246
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:45,209
The pork is so tender.
It just kind of melts in your mouth.
247
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,712
- [laughs]
- [Giada] I also love the onions.
248
00:09:47,713 --> 00:09:49,630
Citrusy, but vinegary.
249
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:52,216
So it's, like, sweet,
but it has a lot of acid.
250
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:53,884
- And has a crunch.
- Thank you.
251
00:09:53,885 --> 00:09:55,886
That means a lot coming from you.
252
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:57,555
What's so amazing
253
00:09:57,556 --> 00:10:01,726
is what you just cooked
out of that tiny little kitchen.
254
00:10:01,727 --> 00:10:03,936
[laughing]
It is challenging with the kitchen.
255
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:05,563
Having said all of that...
256
00:10:05,564 --> 00:10:06,897
Uh-oh.
257
00:10:06,898 --> 00:10:11,694
...although I loved learning
how to make your traditional Yucatán dish,
258
00:10:11,695 --> 00:10:14,488
Erick and I came over today to tell you
259
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:17,450
we're gonna give you the kitchen
that you've always dreamed of.
260
00:10:17,451 --> 00:10:19,118
I am here to renovate your kitchen.
261
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:20,995
[laughing] Oh, my God!
262
00:10:20,996 --> 00:10:22,246
I can't believe this!
263
00:10:22,247 --> 00:10:24,582
Oh, my gosh.
They're gonna renovate our kitchen.
264
00:10:24,583 --> 00:10:27,001
- [woman] Oh, my God!
- [Giada] Erick, come on in here.
265
00:10:27,002 --> 00:10:29,795
Erick is an amazing interior designer.
266
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:31,130
Amazing interior designer.
267
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:33,132
Now that I've had your beautiful taco,
268
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:34,717
you get a new kitchen.
269
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,302
- Thank you!
- [Erick] Yeah.
270
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,054
Let's go in there.
Shall we go and check it out?
271
00:10:38,055 --> 00:10:40,056
I don't know if we all fit in there,
but we can try.
272
00:10:40,057 --> 00:10:41,015
[laughs]
273
00:10:41,016 --> 00:10:43,309
[upbeat music playing]
274
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:44,852
This is the aftermath.
275
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:46,604
I mean, this kitchen gives me, like--
276
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,564
I can't tell you
what it makes me feel like.
277
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:51,817
I'm speechless at, like,
how much stuff is everywhere.
278
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:54,820
What I really want for Whitney and Michael
is the kitchen to have flow.
279
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:57,865
Where is the sink
in comparison to the stove?
280
00:10:57,866 --> 00:10:59,742
How do you move there
when you have a hot pan?
281
00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:01,786
Talk to me about the design.
282
00:11:01,787 --> 00:11:03,120
What's not working for you?
283
00:11:03,121 --> 00:11:05,289
- Whitney loves the dated--
- No.
284
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:06,874
The beautiful granite?
285
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,752
Look, if I could have designed it myself,
it might have been a little more personal.
286
00:11:09,753 --> 00:11:11,295
- Unique to us.
- Uh-huh.
287
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:13,255
- Your family's a little eclectic.
- Yeah.
288
00:11:13,256 --> 00:11:14,840
Color? Are you guys afraid of color?
289
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,967
- I'm not afraid of color.
- Really?
290
00:11:16,968 --> 00:11:19,095
All right, Michael, you said it.
291
00:11:19,096 --> 00:11:21,764
- I mean, I'm open...
- [Erick] That's it.
292
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:24,058
How are you feeling about this wall?
Can we talk about this wall?
293
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:26,102
Let's talk about it.
294
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:29,313
Because, for me, it's the one thing
that I want to knock down.
295
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:31,774
When you're cooking
and your friends and family
296
00:11:31,775 --> 00:11:34,735
are either in the dining or living,
there's no connection.
297
00:11:34,736 --> 00:11:38,322
So by taking down this wall,
it's gonna open up the space.
298
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:40,199
I feel like the kitchen
and the dining room
299
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,911
are really gonna then speak to each other
and really give you guys more surface.
300
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:45,955
I think that is the one thing
that they need, surface.
301
00:11:45,956 --> 00:11:48,749
[Giada] Oh, for sure.
You definitely don't have enough space.
302
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:51,210
And you like your spices by the stove?
303
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:54,547
[sighs] This is kind of the bane
of my existence.
304
00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:56,549
You have to kind of dig
through to get to spices.
305
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:57,758
It's just a mess.
306
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:00,428
Storage in this kitchen
is a high, high priority.
307
00:12:00,429 --> 00:12:02,972
He needs more counter space,
308
00:12:02,973 --> 00:12:05,933
way better storage, pantry space,
309
00:12:05,934 --> 00:12:07,726
shelving for his spice racks.
310
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,104
- And I think we're gonna redo this, too.
- [Michael] What?
311
00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:12,314
[Erick] And maybe that's where
we need a coffee station.
312
00:12:12,315 --> 00:12:13,899
That sounds amazing.
313
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:15,526
You're, like, sign "yes."
314
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:18,946
[Giada] When I look at that laundry room,
I see there's a lot we could do in there
315
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:20,948
that I think would be
really helpful to them.
316
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:24,160
What else? What other things
are you dreaming about in this kitchen?
317
00:12:24,161 --> 00:12:27,037
[Michael] I mean, I love our breakfast
nook, but it's so closed off.
318
00:12:27,038 --> 00:12:29,165
It's like a wasted space, unfortunately.
319
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:32,460
And it was one of the features that we
really fell in love with, with the home.
320
00:12:32,461 --> 00:12:34,628
Whitney works in there
with her real estate.
321
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:36,422
Where, Whitney? [laughs]
322
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:38,424
Well, it's work light.
323
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:41,093
- By the way, we have to move out.
- We have to move out?
324
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:42,136
Yeah.
325
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:45,055
[Erick]
The renovation will take about six weeks,
326
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:47,558
so we need to arrange
for you guys to stay with your mom.
327
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,602
Um, I just...
328
00:12:49,603 --> 00:12:52,313
It's kind of unbelievable
that you're even here, to be honest.
329
00:12:52,314 --> 00:12:54,691
I thought we were just cooking and, um...
330
00:12:56,193 --> 00:12:58,068
I just feel really, really lucky.
331
00:12:58,069 --> 00:13:00,446
Um... [mutters]
332
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,782
- [Whitney laughing] We can't cry again...
- [Erick] Oh!
333
00:13:06,161 --> 00:13:08,370
Just, like, coming out of, like,
a really tough
334
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:10,789
challenging couple of years.
335
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:13,584
Like, I'm just super happy.
Like, these are tears of joy.
336
00:13:13,585 --> 00:13:16,921
I mean, at the end of the day, Michael,
you're so deserving of this.
337
00:13:16,922 --> 00:13:20,633
You've made so many people so happy
with all your fabulous food.
338
00:13:20,634 --> 00:13:23,844
You deserve to have a space
without tripping all the time.
339
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:24,845
Yeah!
340
00:13:24,846 --> 00:13:26,430
Which is what I felt like we did today.
341
00:13:26,431 --> 00:13:28,641
Just can't wait to see
what you guys have envisioned.
342
00:13:28,642 --> 00:13:31,602
I think we've all decided
we're gonna take this wall down, right?
343
00:13:31,603 --> 00:13:33,270
- Yes.
- Yeah.
344
00:13:33,271 --> 00:13:36,232
The wall's coming down.
It's gonna be so amazing.
345
00:13:36,233 --> 00:13:37,399
[Michael laughs]
346
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,569
[upbeat pop music playing]
347
00:13:49,746 --> 00:13:51,455
{\an8}- Erick!
- Giada.
348
00:13:51,456 --> 00:13:52,414
{\an8}You beat me here.
349
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:53,582
Ta-da!
350
00:13:53,583 --> 00:13:54,833
[laughs]
351
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,669
- Dude, this is huge!
- Right?
352
00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:59,213
- Okay, the walls were right here. Right?
- Yeah.
353
00:13:59,214 --> 00:14:01,840
Remember, it was like
a narrow space, right?
354
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:03,509
The stove was here facing this way.
355
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:06,679
[Erick]
Now that it's all kind of pushed back,
356
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:09,515
we have complete freedom to create.
[laughs]
357
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:10,766
Yes!
358
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:13,602
We should definitely start
space planning a little bit.
359
00:14:13,603 --> 00:14:16,939
[Giada] I think an island would be
amazing, to give them counter space.
360
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:18,190
- Island here.
- Yeah.
361
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:21,485
I love the connection
between the island, the dining--
362
00:14:21,486 --> 00:14:23,904
- This would be the dining room area.
- Dining. Yeah.
363
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:26,865
[Giada] Then you don't have
this feeling of isolation.
364
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:27,908
[Erick] Exactly.
365
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:29,410
So if the island is here,
366
00:14:29,411 --> 00:14:30,869
we put the sink here.
367
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,830
Sink. Stove.
368
00:14:32,831 --> 00:14:34,832
Then maybe fridge goes here?
369
00:14:34,833 --> 00:14:38,168
Maybe we do French doors
so that it doesn't take up a lot of space.
370
00:14:38,169 --> 00:14:39,628
And then that way...
371
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:41,088
- And they're shorter, too.
- Exactly.
372
00:14:41,089 --> 00:14:43,048
- I like that, Erick.
- [Erick] Sink will be here.
373
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:44,466
So it's a nice little pivot.
374
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:46,343
- [Giada] You don't even have to go far.
- Yeah.
375
00:14:46,344 --> 00:14:48,304
{\an8}Kitchen triangle
is the most important thing.
376
00:14:48,305 --> 00:14:51,890
{\an8}Stove, sink, refrigerator.
377
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:55,269
{\an8}What does it look like? How far is it?
How easy is it to access?
378
00:14:55,270 --> 00:14:57,438
Can I turn around
and just dump things into the sink?
379
00:14:57,439 --> 00:14:58,939
Like, that's what I'm looking for.
380
00:14:58,940 --> 00:15:00,983
So when I was watching Michael cook,
381
00:15:00,984 --> 00:15:03,027
he had by his stove
382
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:05,029
all of his spices and stuff.
383
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:08,365
And I don't think he really liked
the contraption they were in.
384
00:15:08,366 --> 00:15:10,492
So I think, like,
we could do a little cubby.
385
00:15:10,493 --> 00:15:13,203
Yeah, we can do the nice
little spice niche on the side.
386
00:15:13,204 --> 00:15:15,080
- Yeah.
- And then have all the spices at hand.
387
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,041
And maybe it has an archway.
388
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:19,918
And maybe that's where we have tile
or a special finish.
389
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:21,337
[Giada] Oh, I love that.
390
00:15:21,338 --> 00:15:23,339
But what the heck
are we gonna do with this?
391
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:24,632
What do you feel?
392
00:15:24,633 --> 00:15:25,841
[sighs]
393
00:15:25,842 --> 00:15:27,968
[Giada] These can go.
I don't think they'll ever miss them.
394
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:30,596
Should we put a big blue tape over it
so we know it's gone?
395
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:33,223
- I feel like that's gonna be fun.
- That's gonna be fun.
396
00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:34,893
Let's get it out of here.
397
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,269
Covering the window is a power move.
398
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:39,647
The only way to kind of get the flow
we're looking for
399
00:15:39,648 --> 00:15:42,399
is to put a wall there
and cover up those windows.
400
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,444
Now that the room's not closed off,
you've got so much natural light coming in
401
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:47,071
from all the other areas.
402
00:15:47,072 --> 00:15:48,031
Bye!
403
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:50,491
- Then there's this great area.
- She works from home.
404
00:15:50,492 --> 00:15:53,452
So maybe I was thinking,
could we do some kind of desk thing here?
405
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:55,245
- [Erick] Yeah.
- [Giada] And then we could do
406
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:56,372
a little sitting area.
407
00:15:56,373 --> 00:15:58,415
[Erick]
Yeah. I feel really good about that.
408
00:15:58,416 --> 00:16:00,125
- Check.
- For now.
409
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:01,168
Okay, great.
410
00:16:01,169 --> 00:16:02,836
A lady's allowed
to change her mind, right?
411
00:16:02,837 --> 00:16:04,088
All the time.

[upbeat pop music playing]
413
00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:18,019
[laughs]
414
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:20,771
- [woman] Good morning.
- [Giada] Hi.
415
00:16:20,772 --> 00:16:23,816
Could I get four of the hot dogs
416
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:26,443
with the grilled peppers
and onions and mushrooms?
417
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:28,987
- Sure.
- A.K.A. the Giada.
418
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,280
Yeah.
419
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:31,741
It's the best hot dog.
420
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,451
[Giada] Pink's is an LA icon.
421
00:16:34,452 --> 00:16:36,412
I've been going since I was a teenager.
422
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:39,915
That was sort of my spot
after a night out.
423
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:41,375
And I did a shoot there.
424
00:16:41,376 --> 00:16:43,836
So they have a hot dog named after me.
425
00:16:43,837 --> 00:16:45,003
It's actually really good.
426
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,339
Oh, I can smell it.
427
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:49,299
Pink's is around the corner
from Erick's studio.
428
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,926
And when I saw it, I thought,
429
00:16:50,927 --> 00:16:52,970
"I don't think he's gonna mind
my being a little late."
430
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:54,888
- Thank you. Enjoy.
- Thank you.
431
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:56,807
Amazing.

433
00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:05,399
[Erick] Hello.
434
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,025
- Hi!
- Michael, Whitney,
435
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,527
- good to see you.
- You too.
436
00:17:08,528 --> 00:17:10,112
[Giada] Erick is a very artistic person.
437
00:17:10,113 --> 00:17:12,030
He's also an art expert.
438
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:14,742
He has a gallery, and he tells a story
439
00:17:14,743 --> 00:17:18,120
through the art that he has in his studio
and through his interior design.
440
00:17:18,121 --> 00:17:21,081
So we can take a seat here,
and then we can review
441
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:24,001
all of the finishes, samples, colors.
442
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:25,627
All the good stuff.
443
00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:28,464
- I'm so excited.
- I can't even-- I cannot even...
444
00:17:28,465 --> 00:17:31,216
- Hey, guys. Sorry I'm a little late.
- [Michael] Oh, my goodness.
445
00:17:31,217 --> 00:17:34,928
I had a little detour when I thought
of something fun we could all nosh on
446
00:17:34,929 --> 00:17:36,305
if you feel like it.
447
00:17:36,306 --> 00:17:37,514
Just grab. It's all the same.
448
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:39,516
- There you go.
- [Whitney] Should we cheers our hot dogs?
449
00:17:39,517 --> 00:17:42,227
[Giada] Yeah, let's cheers our hot dogs.
Cheers, you guys!
450
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:43,521
[laughs]
451
00:17:45,106 --> 00:17:46,565
That's fantastic.
452
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,776
- Now that you've got sustenance...
- [Whitney] Let's do this.
453
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:52,696
Yeah. So if you see the mood board,
this gives you an overall look
454
00:17:52,697 --> 00:17:55,574
at design direction that we want to go in.
455
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:58,160
So keeping that Spanish California style
456
00:17:58,161 --> 00:18:01,205
and bringing in a little bit
of your heritage, Michael.
457
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,248
- Yes.
- But still making it contemporary.
458
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:04,458
You guys are both young.
459
00:18:04,459 --> 00:18:06,794
- There's energy in there.
- Yes!
460
00:18:06,795 --> 00:18:09,421
For me, the most important thing
is function and usability.
461
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:12,216
And it changes with each person, right?
462
00:18:12,217 --> 00:18:14,218
So, what I want to show you,
463
00:18:14,219 --> 00:18:15,636
I think you'll really like, Michael.
464
00:18:15,637 --> 00:18:18,764
We switched where the stove is gonna be,
465
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:20,766
and we put a sink where the stove was.
466
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:23,268
- [Whitney] Okay.
- [Giada] We got rid of the window,
467
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:26,313
and we're gonna create
a little inset as well.
468
00:18:26,314 --> 00:18:29,066
- Oh, my gosh. Do you see that?
- [Giada] Um, a little inset there
469
00:18:29,067 --> 00:18:31,401
so that you have that space.
470
00:18:31,402 --> 00:18:35,614
And in there we can put spice racks,
we can hang all the pots and pans.
471
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,616
So again, every area has purpose
472
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:39,576
and it isn't just decorative.
473
00:18:39,577 --> 00:18:41,495
- I'm on board.
- [Erick laughs]
474
00:18:41,496 --> 00:18:45,249
And we'll have a beautiful pot filler
that we're gonna put right here.
475
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:46,834
[Erick] Window... pot filler.
476
00:18:46,835 --> 00:18:48,877
- Window... pot filler.
- Yeah.
477
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:50,587
It'll look so rich.
478
00:18:50,588 --> 00:18:51,505
[Whitney] Yes.
479
00:18:51,506 --> 00:18:53,382
I think you might pull your bed in there.
480
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:55,217
[laughs]
481
00:18:55,218 --> 00:18:57,719
Um, another good finish for the walls.
482
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,598
We're treating all of the interior walls
in a beautiful lime wash
483
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:05,227
just to bring in a little bit
of depth and character.
484
00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:07,062
And it gives it great texture, right?
485
00:19:07,063 --> 00:19:09,189
- Exactly.
- Compared to this smoothness.
486
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:10,232
[Erick] Yup.
487
00:19:10,233 --> 00:19:11,525
We want some things with texture,
488
00:19:11,526 --> 00:19:13,694
some things that are a bit more
sheen and shiny
489
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:15,946
so that it all marries
really well together.
490
00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:17,865
That's pretty.
491
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:20,492
[Erick] And then we came across
these stunning handmade tiles
492
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:22,828
that brought in a lot of color,
493
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:26,623
but still muted enough where it didn't
really overtake the design.
494
00:19:26,624 --> 00:19:29,835
And pairing it with this beautiful
artichoke cabinetry.
495
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:31,503
[Giada]
Erick and I really wanted to make sure
496
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:34,214
that the kitchen felt like
it was always there
497
00:19:34,215 --> 00:19:36,341
and it really was integrated
into the style of the house,
498
00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:38,594
which is, you know, Spanish colonial.
499
00:19:38,595 --> 00:19:41,096
And so I think the Mexican tiles
really help
500
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:43,390
bring his heritage in
as well as the house itself.
501
00:19:43,391 --> 00:19:47,102
Your floors are getting all re-stained.
502
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:49,229
- Wow!
- My God.
503
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:51,315
[Giada] They weren't in terrible shape.
so we're gonna keep those,
504
00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:53,025
sand them down, give them a nice finish.
505
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:55,736
[Erick] This is gonna be your new stain,
506
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:58,947
which, again, pairs so beautiful
with the green.
507
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:01,033
- Maybe we should show them--
- [Erick] Yeah, the hardware.
508
00:20:01,034 --> 00:20:03,076
- [Giada] This was a big discussion.
- Oh, wow.
509
00:20:03,077 --> 00:20:04,870
[Giada] The hardware was a big discussion.
510
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:08,165
[Erick] Yeah. I ran this by Giada,
and she had a really great point
511
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:10,459
that if you're baking,
if you have flour in your hands,
512
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:14,087
some of these that felt a little harder
to just kind of grab on.
513
00:20:14,088 --> 00:20:16,173
So we ended up with this...
514
00:20:16,174 --> 00:20:17,799
- [Michael] Egg knob?
- Yes.
515
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,719
Because it felt really easy
to grab and pull.
516
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,429
[Whitney]
I never would have thought of that.
517
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:24,181
If we were having
to design this ourselves,
518
00:20:24,182 --> 00:20:26,683
I would have never considered
the functionality.
519
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:29,853
Everything that we put,
there's nothing there just because.
520
00:20:29,854 --> 00:20:34,191
Everything has a function
and a form and a purpose, yeah.
521
00:20:34,192 --> 00:20:37,611
There's very detailed minutia
of functionality
522
00:20:37,612 --> 00:20:41,531
that in the big scheme of things
you don't think matters,
523
00:20:41,532 --> 00:20:44,743
but when you're in that space
every single day
524
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:47,663
it drives you crazy
when it doesn't work right.
525
00:20:47,664 --> 00:20:49,122
That's what I'm adding.
526
00:20:49,123 --> 00:20:51,917
And then I'm leaning on Erick for,
you know, some of the style.
527
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:54,378
This is just, like, screaming "Castillo."
528
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:56,380
- [all laugh]
- I love this.
529
00:20:56,381 --> 00:20:59,257
I think it's fun.
But, Michael, we have a surprise.
530
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:00,760
It's not just a renovation.
531
00:21:01,761 --> 00:21:03,553
Cook to cook, we're gonna trick it out.
532
00:21:03,554 --> 00:21:05,889
All new appliances, new tools.
533
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:08,058
- So you have everything you possibly need.
- Oh, my gosh.
534
00:21:08,059 --> 00:21:09,059
Is this real life?
535
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:12,354
We've always loved
the character of our home,
536
00:21:12,355 --> 00:21:14,481
and this is staying true to it,
but, like, elevating it.
537
00:21:14,482 --> 00:21:15,732
And...
538
00:21:15,733 --> 00:21:17,776
[splutters]
539
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:20,654
You're speechless. We love that.
That's what we wanted, Michael.
540
00:21:20,655 --> 00:21:23,782
Just give us, like, five weeks
and then wait till the reveal!
541
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:26,077
[Giada] Yeah! It's gonna be so amazing!
542
00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:28,663
[uplifting pop music playing]
543
00:21:42,385 --> 00:21:44,136
{\an8}I know, doesn't it feel so cool?
544
00:21:44,137 --> 00:21:46,014
- I mean, look at all the options.
- [Giada] Yeah.
545
00:21:49,392 --> 00:21:50,684
- [Dale] Hey, Giada.
- Hey.
546
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:52,352
{\an8}- So great to see you.
- Nice to see you, Dale.
547
00:21:52,353 --> 00:21:54,062
{\an8}- Hey, Dale. How's it going?
- Welcome.
548
00:21:54,063 --> 00:21:56,189
This is like being
in a candy store for me.
549
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:57,691
- So, what are we seeing?
- [Erick] All right, Dale,
550
00:21:57,692 --> 00:21:59,776
so we're looking for something
that's durable.
551
00:21:59,777 --> 00:22:01,445
- Okay.
- Definitely natural.
552
00:22:01,446 --> 00:22:03,113
Nothing's printed, laminated,
553
00:22:03,114 --> 00:22:04,406
- nothing like that.
- Elevated.
554
00:22:04,407 --> 00:22:06,616
- We have an island in the--
- Yes.
555
00:22:06,617 --> 00:22:08,618
- Okay. Let me show you some options.
- Okay.
556
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:11,204
- So this is a Brazilian quartzite.
- [Erick] Nice.
557
00:22:11,205 --> 00:22:13,582
[Dale] Quartzite's a little bit more
like a granite.
558
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:15,083
[Giada] I have it in my laundry room.
559
00:22:15,084 --> 00:22:16,668
It's incredibly durable.
560
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:18,545
But still looks very rich.
561
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:22,007
Right, and then the great thing
about the natural quartzites
562
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:25,052
and the marbles is they're both
a little bit translucent.
563
00:22:25,053 --> 00:22:26,928
So it gives us that depth and richness.
564
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:28,263
That's what I like so much.
565
00:22:28,264 --> 00:22:31,600
And then let me show you something
that has a little bit more color in it.
566
00:22:31,601 --> 00:22:33,685
This is another quartzite.
567
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:35,312
[Giada]
It has a little more movement to it.
568
00:22:35,313 --> 00:22:37,522
- A little more natural--
- [Erick] Yeah.
569
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:39,566
- Yeah, more gray ray coming through.
- A little gray,
570
00:22:39,567 --> 00:22:42,402
but also just a touch of green or sage.
571
00:22:42,403 --> 00:22:43,528
[Giada] I like this one.
572
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:46,198
Let me show you another kind of idea, too.
573
00:22:46,199 --> 00:22:49,284
So this is a marble calacatta from Italy.
574
00:22:49,285 --> 00:22:52,079
- Well, that's a winner. Done! Sold!
- [laughs]
575
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,121
Just kidding.
576
00:22:53,122 --> 00:22:55,166
Seal of approval, done.
577
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,543
It just gives us that classic
timeless look.
578
00:22:58,544 --> 00:23:00,128
- It's stunning.
- [Giada] It's beautiful.
579
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:02,422
- Should we pull timeless classic out?
- Yeah.
580
00:23:02,423 --> 00:23:04,633
And let's pull that one out and see both.
581
00:23:04,634 --> 00:23:06,677
- [Giada] Yeah, can we see them both?
- Yeah.
582
00:23:07,261 --> 00:23:09,555
[upbeat music playing]
583
00:23:10,181 --> 00:23:13,266
Okay, so this is the quartzite.
584
00:23:13,267 --> 00:23:16,520
- [Erick] You see how it feels leathered?
- [Giada] Yes, I love that.
585
00:23:16,521 --> 00:23:18,105
But now that I, like,
586
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:21,108
I'm all the way out,
looking at it, it's so green.
587
00:23:21,109 --> 00:23:22,025
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
588
00:23:22,026 --> 00:23:24,820
That one looks like
it might be a little brighter.
589
00:23:24,821 --> 00:23:26,488
- [Erick] Calacatta?
- [Dale] This is the calacatta.
590
00:23:26,489 --> 00:23:28,115
I think this will look better
in the kitchen.
591
00:23:28,116 --> 00:23:29,866
- What do you think?
- I agree.
592
00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:32,786
One of the wonderful things
about having marble,
593
00:23:32,787 --> 00:23:36,373
if you make doughs,
whether it's pastry dough or pasta dough,
594
00:23:36,374 --> 00:23:38,708
the marble's cold all the time,
595
00:23:38,709 --> 00:23:40,877
so it keeps the dough nice and cold.
596
00:23:40,878 --> 00:23:44,464
So you've already got a whole surface
there that is easy to bake.
597
00:23:44,465 --> 00:23:46,883
It's easy to make doughs,
and I know Michael does that.
598
00:23:46,884 --> 00:23:50,178
Think about it.
Beautiful counter, waterfall island.
599
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:52,139
And then it goes
right into an integrated sink.
600
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:54,558
We got to talk about
integrated sink, don't we?
601
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,518
I was waiting for that conversation.
602
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:59,938
It's so beautiful,
it's so luxurious, it's so sexy.
603
00:23:59,939 --> 00:24:01,898
- Having said all of that...
- [laughing]
604
00:24:01,899 --> 00:24:05,569
...I even chose not to have it
because I cook a lot.
605
00:24:05,570 --> 00:24:08,905
And you do have to be a tiny bit delicate
with the corners
606
00:24:08,906 --> 00:24:10,532
of an integrated sink.
607
00:24:10,533 --> 00:24:13,535
An integrated sink
means that the whole sink
608
00:24:13,536 --> 00:24:16,288
is the same material as the countertop.
609
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:18,415
That's where I'm worried
it's gonna be too delicate
610
00:24:18,416 --> 00:24:20,125
when I put pots and pans in there.
611
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,210
We're gonna undermount that sink anyway.
612
00:24:22,211 --> 00:24:26,506
So I don't think we're gonna have an issue
with chips and wear.
613
00:24:26,507 --> 00:24:28,091
Convinced?
614
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:30,510
- [laughs]
- Okay, I'm gonna give it to you.
615
00:24:30,511 --> 00:24:33,013
But then you're gonna have
a conversation with Michael and Whitney.
616
00:24:33,014 --> 00:24:35,390
- I will.
- "Ah! I don't want to touch it
617
00:24:35,391 --> 00:24:37,058
because it seems too precious."
618
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:39,603
No, they're gonna love you
for the rest of their life.
619
00:24:39,604 --> 00:24:41,855
Now I'm sad I didn't do that in my house.
620
00:24:41,856 --> 00:24:44,192
[upbeat pop music playing]
621
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:58,163
{\an8}[Erick] Knock, knock.
622
00:24:58,164 --> 00:25:00,041
- No one's home.
- [laughs]
623
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:03,168
Oh, wow!
624
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,461
[Erick] What?
625
00:25:04,462 --> 00:25:08,006
Giada, it looks like a completely
different house.
626
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:11,718
- [Giada] Look at the tile!
- [Erick] It's looking stunning.
627
00:25:11,719 --> 00:25:14,971
- I love this. It turned out nice, too.
- Yeah, the little niche.
628
00:25:14,972 --> 00:25:17,849
And we can add all the spices.
We'll dress it up beautiful for him.
629
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:21,728
And then we'll do reclaimed wood shelves
that came from an old church.
630
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:24,689
- Well, you can definitely do here--
- And here.
631
00:25:24,690 --> 00:25:27,442
Yeah, the sink will be here.
So it's a nice little pivot.
632
00:25:27,443 --> 00:25:29,653
[Giada] What about a pedal sink?
Know what I mean?
633
00:25:29,654 --> 00:25:31,488
[Erick] Make it feel elevated? Yeah.
634
00:25:31,489 --> 00:25:32,530
Push-pedal sink.
635
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,866
It's sort of a chef's kiss
for the kitchen.
636
00:25:34,867 --> 00:25:36,368
We have it in restaurants,
637
00:25:36,369 --> 00:25:38,620
but they make it now for a home cook
and for a home kitchen.
638
00:25:38,621 --> 00:25:41,957
And I thought it'd be really cool for him
because his hands are always dirty.
639
00:25:41,958 --> 00:25:45,252
So you can just use your foot to do it.
And I think it's gonna be fabulous.
640
00:25:45,253 --> 00:25:48,546
[Erick] Those are the moments that make
the space feel a little bit more updated.
641
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:51,341
- [Giada] It's gonna be great.
- [Erick] We should look at the hardware.
642
00:25:51,342 --> 00:25:53,760
- So those are pantry handles.
- These are a great weight.
643
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:55,136
[Erick] Aren't they so good?
644
00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:57,681
And then it'll just be
a nice open grabber.
645
00:25:57,682 --> 00:25:59,891
[Giada] It's really beautiful,
this artichoke with the--
646
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:01,476
- With the brass.
- It's very rich.
647
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:03,019
- Really gorgeous
- We love that word.
648
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:04,854
I think they're gonna flip.
649
00:26:04,855 --> 00:26:06,898
[Erick] And then on the island,
we'll do the same thing.
650
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:09,234
This feels so much bigger
than I thought it was gonna be.
651
00:26:09,235 --> 00:26:11,403
And it's nice and deep for storage.
652
00:26:11,404 --> 00:26:13,238
- [Giada] Great job.
- [Erick] Looking good.
653
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:16,533
- [Giada] All right, can we see the floors?
- [Erick] Oh, yeah. Do it.
654
00:26:16,534 --> 00:26:18,201
Oh!
655
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:21,413
- [Erick] Oh, wow.
- [Giada] Oh, wow, baby.
656
00:26:21,414 --> 00:26:22,956
That looks great.
657
00:26:22,957 --> 00:26:24,792
- [Erick] Giada approved?
- [both] Boom.
658
00:26:25,751 --> 00:26:28,253
If you're up for it,
we should test out the wall color.
659
00:26:28,254 --> 00:26:29,212
Yeah, let's do it.
660
00:26:29,213 --> 00:26:32,132
Once they apply the lime wash
with all the brush stroke,
661
00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:34,509
it'll just add more depth and character.
662
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:35,885
[Giada] Lime wash is great.
663
00:26:35,886 --> 00:26:37,554
It's very much
what you find in Italy, actually.
664
00:26:37,555 --> 00:26:39,848
I did a whole wall at my house with it.
665
00:26:39,849 --> 00:26:41,391
Creates this beautiful texture.
666
00:26:41,392 --> 00:26:45,353
And the way the light can kind of bounce
off all the texture in the wall,
667
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:47,647
that's what's gonna be so stunning
about this spot.
668
00:26:47,648 --> 00:26:48,857
It's gonna look so rich.
669
00:26:48,858 --> 00:26:50,568
That one's a little, like, muddy.
670
00:26:51,694 --> 00:26:54,446
- Makes the house a little sad, no?
- It does.
671
00:26:54,447 --> 00:26:56,406
This one's okay, but...
672
00:26:56,407 --> 00:26:58,616
- I like it. I mean...
- Oh, wow. I think I like that one.
673
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:02,495
- Should I just stop now, and that's it?
- It's a no-brainer. I like that one.
674
00:27:02,496 --> 00:27:05,373
I know that you're a perfectionist.
I can see you gotta get that corner!
675
00:27:05,374 --> 00:27:07,167
- Let's finish that tiny little corner.
- Gotta get that corner!
676
00:27:07,168 --> 00:27:09,794
I think kneading dough
is similar to painting.
677
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:11,546
- Oh.
- Because it's repetitive.
678
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:14,257
Anything repetitive feels very soothing.
679
00:27:14,258 --> 00:27:15,675
All right.
680
00:27:15,676 --> 00:27:17,677
So the winner is...
681
00:27:17,678 --> 00:27:19,971
- I still like the furthest right.
- Yeah.
682
00:27:19,972 --> 00:27:23,558
I feel like it's gonna make
the finishes of the wood really stand out.
683
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:25,769
- Yes. What is the color of that?
- Cashmere.
684
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:27,437
Can you go wrong with cashmere?
685
00:27:27,438 --> 00:27:30,732
I mean, you should have started with that.
That's it. Love it.
686
00:27:30,733 --> 00:27:32,860
[upbeat pop music playing]
687
00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:46,373
[Whitney] This is the fun part for me.
688
00:27:46,374 --> 00:27:48,249
You know, getting to shop.
689
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:50,543
Yeah, and it's great for me
because I'm gonna start getting to see
690
00:27:50,544 --> 00:27:52,003
what you and Michael gravitate towards.
691
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,090
[upbeat pop music continues]
692
00:27:56,967 --> 00:27:58,134
What I would love to do
693
00:27:58,135 --> 00:28:00,762
is start looking at the hero pieces,
the bigger pieces.
694
00:28:00,763 --> 00:28:03,223
{\an8}- Dining table. Chairs.
- Okay, sounds good.
695
00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:06,267
[upbeat music playing]
696
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:08,728
So back here, they have all
of their dining chairs.
697
00:28:08,729 --> 00:28:12,273
[Whitney] Oh, look at all these chairs!
Hey, this excites me.
698
00:28:12,274 --> 00:28:14,192
- I see some things I really like.
- Talk to me.
699
00:28:14,193 --> 00:28:15,819
What-- What are you looking at?
700
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:18,238
[Whitney] Like, this guy?
I think I just like the leather...
701
00:28:18,239 --> 00:28:19,531
- Love.
- ...of it.
702
00:28:19,532 --> 00:28:20,615
I mean, that's cool.
703
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:23,326
- I don't know if it's right.
- A bit too contemporary for the space.
704
00:28:23,327 --> 00:28:27,163
Okay, this is maybe, like, too puffy,
but I like how slender this is.
705
00:28:27,164 --> 00:28:30,417
Okay. Also, the floors
will dictate a lot of it.
706
00:28:30,418 --> 00:28:32,001
- Yeah.
- The finish of the floors.
707
00:28:32,002 --> 00:28:33,336
As a designer, I want to make sure
708
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:37,340
{\an8}that all the wood tones speak to one
another so that they feel cohesive.
709
00:28:37,341 --> 00:28:40,051
The floors in the space
are gonna be this honey color.
710
00:28:40,052 --> 00:28:41,928
So if the floor is lighter,
711
00:28:41,929 --> 00:28:44,180
then your dining tables
want to be a little bit darker
712
00:28:44,181 --> 00:28:47,100
so that it really
just makes the table pop.
713
00:28:47,101 --> 00:28:49,686
There's also this darker one.
How do you feel about this?
714
00:28:49,687 --> 00:28:51,521
[Whitney] I like it. I think it's pretty.
715
00:28:51,522 --> 00:28:54,357
Kind of almost something about it
feels a little retro to me.
716
00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:56,443
This is gonna age really well.
717
00:28:56,444 --> 00:28:58,695
- Very easy to clean with kids.
- [Whitney] Okay.
718
00:28:58,696 --> 00:29:00,530
[Erick]
And I love the little arm. Half arm.
719
00:29:00,531 --> 00:29:02,365
[Whitney] There is an arm here.
720
00:29:02,366 --> 00:29:04,701
And it creates a really contemporary
younger look.
721
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:06,578
[Whitney]
Okay, this is my favorite, Erick.
722
00:29:06,579 --> 00:29:09,414
So why don't we walk over,
look at dining table options.
723
00:29:09,415 --> 00:29:11,459
- All right, take me.
- [Erick] All right. Let's do it.
724
00:29:12,042 --> 00:29:14,752
Marble I don't think is gonna look good
because you're gonna have a new,
725
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:16,045
beautiful marble island,
726
00:29:16,046 --> 00:29:17,714
so that's probably not a good choice.
727
00:29:17,715 --> 00:29:19,507
How do you feel about something like this?
728
00:29:19,508 --> 00:29:20,717
[Whitney] Ooh, yeah.
729
00:29:20,718 --> 00:29:23,470
There's something just moody
and a little dramatic.
730
00:29:23,471 --> 00:29:25,346
Oh, my gosh. This excites me.
731
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:28,975
Do you want to sit on it and see how
the whole thing kind of comes together?
732
00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:30,935
This feels like a big-girl table.
733
00:29:30,936 --> 00:29:33,062
I mean, we want a big-girl table.
734
00:29:33,063 --> 00:29:34,314
- I like this.
- [laughs]
735
00:29:34,315 --> 00:29:35,648
This feels really good, Erick.
736
00:29:35,649 --> 00:29:39,819
I love the cohesiveness of every piece
and every finish that's happening
737
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:41,362
in the space right now,
738
00:29:41,363 --> 00:29:44,657
from the green cabinetry
to the marble countertops,
739
00:29:44,658 --> 00:29:45,950
the brass finishes.
740
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:48,077
And now with all the darker wood tones,
741
00:29:48,078 --> 00:29:51,206
it's just gonna tie everything
really nicely and beautifully.
742
00:29:51,207 --> 00:29:54,542
I like that it has enough space for--
Look how comfortable we are.
743
00:29:54,543 --> 00:29:56,628
I can fit a lot of chairs.
Look, there's three chairs here.
744
00:29:56,629 --> 00:29:58,171
- I like it.
- I like it a lot.
745
00:29:58,172 --> 00:30:00,381
- Done.
- [both laugh]
746
00:30:00,382 --> 00:30:01,926
[upbeat pop music playing]
747
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:18,691
- [cell phone rings]
- [Giada] Hi.
748
00:30:18,692 --> 00:30:20,693
{\an8}- [Erick on phone] Hi. How's it going?
- It's good.
749
00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:22,153
{\an8}What's going on?
750
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:26,282
{\an8}I just got a call from the contractor,
and the lime wash is not looking good.
751
00:30:26,283 --> 00:30:28,952
And we really need to go down there
and set eyes on it.
752
00:30:28,953 --> 00:30:30,662
How quick? Like tomorrow?
753
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:31,746
Yeah, because the other thing
754
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:34,832
that we really have to get going
is the drapes selection.
755
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:37,418
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, wait.
756
00:30:37,419 --> 00:30:40,421
- We're doing this again? No! No drapes!
- We have to.
757
00:30:40,422 --> 00:30:42,215
Erick, no!
758
00:30:42,216 --> 00:30:45,260
{\an8}From day one, I said I don't want
drapes in the kitchen.
759
00:30:45,261 --> 00:30:48,471
{\an8}The three big windows there,
I'm thinking drapes.
760
00:30:48,472 --> 00:30:51,057
I do not like drapes.
I feel like you're cooking.
761
00:30:51,058 --> 00:30:53,726
All the smells, the aroma--
Everything gets sucked into that fabric.
762
00:30:53,727 --> 00:30:56,646
- Giada.
- I really don't like that, though.
763
00:30:56,647 --> 00:30:58,940
I see, like, a Roman shade there.
764
00:30:58,941 --> 00:31:01,192
But I'm happy to meet you there tomorrow.
765
00:31:01,193 --> 00:31:05,196
But just know I'm coming in
with my Roman shades.
766
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:06,948
- All right.
- Okay.
767
00:31:06,949 --> 00:31:08,700
- Get ready.
- [laughs]
768
00:31:08,701 --> 00:31:10,244
Watch out, Erick.
769
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:11,953
I'm ready for you.
770
00:31:11,954 --> 00:31:13,371
Oh, God.
771
00:31:13,372 --> 00:31:15,457
[upbeat pop music playing]
772
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:31,306
{\an8}- [Giada] Hi.
- Hello.
773
00:31:31,307 --> 00:31:33,558
- Here, I brought you a little treat.
- Ooh!
774
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:35,852
- Buttering you up a tiny bit.
- I know.
775
00:31:35,853 --> 00:31:37,770
I'm like, what are you trying
to do here, huh?
776
00:31:37,771 --> 00:31:39,981
- [laughs]
- That is spectacular.
777
00:31:39,982 --> 00:31:42,317
[Erick] Aaron, you did such a good job.
778
00:31:42,318 --> 00:31:43,943
[Aaron] We had to bring something in
779
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:45,820
because this gapped out
a little bit big on us.
780
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:47,405
[Giada] So did you just cut more tile?
781
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:49,741
{\an8}[Aaron]
Yeah, so we try to keep the design,
782
00:31:49,742 --> 00:31:51,784
and we narrowed it down on all of them.
783
00:31:51,785 --> 00:31:53,870
- It's so beautiful.
- Yeah, it's just this--
784
00:31:53,871 --> 00:31:55,455
- And the finishes.
- [Giada] Look at this.
785
00:31:55,456 --> 00:31:57,582
- How's this sink? Look at that.
- I mean...
786
00:31:57,583 --> 00:31:59,083
[Giada] The kitchen's almost done.
787
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:00,918
It's starting to look so fabulous.
788
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:04,255
And that integrated sink,
it looks pretty sexy.
789
00:32:04,256 --> 00:32:05,965
Okay, so...
790
00:32:05,966 --> 00:32:08,926
- Couple of things we need to talk about.
- ...what is the deal here?
791
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:11,721
- The lime wash, I'm not crazy about it.
- What the heck?
792
00:32:11,722 --> 00:32:14,766
Yeah, it's looking a little blotchy,
and it's not reading the way I wanted.
793
00:32:14,767 --> 00:32:16,184
[Giada] It's not rich at all.
794
00:32:16,185 --> 00:32:17,685
[Erick] Yes.
795
00:32:17,686 --> 00:32:19,687
- Oh, my God, Erick.
- [Erick] I'm not feeling this.
796
00:32:19,688 --> 00:32:21,522
- It's awful.
- Yeah.
797
00:32:21,523 --> 00:32:23,441
- I really wanted the texture.
- Yeah.
798
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:25,109
What-- What happened?
799
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:27,320
Listen, there's a lot of variables
that can go wrong.
800
00:32:27,321 --> 00:32:29,280
Lighting can affect it,
the way they applied it.
801
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:31,449
We told them they could move in
within a week.
802
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,576
- I know, so--
- And that's gonna take more time.
803
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:35,703
It's a time crunch,
so we have to decide something
804
00:32:35,704 --> 00:32:36,913
and get moving,
805
00:32:36,914 --> 00:32:38,874
or we're not gonna make the timeline.
806
00:32:42,503 --> 00:32:44,504
- [Giada] This sucks.
- [Erick] No, honestly--
807
00:32:44,505 --> 00:32:46,381
I can't believe how bad it actually looks.
808
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:48,132
Like, this is a real issue.
809
00:32:48,133 --> 00:32:51,511
Oh, yeah, this is a giant mistake.
810
00:32:51,512 --> 00:32:54,014
One that we really need to fix
as quickly as possible.
811
00:32:54,848 --> 00:32:57,725
Okay, well,
if you put a solid cover over it,
812
00:32:57,726 --> 00:33:00,269
would you still get the texture
we were looking for,
813
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:01,729
so it doesn't feel like primer?
814
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:03,856
Because there's that brushstroke
that's already there,
815
00:33:03,857 --> 00:33:06,067
you would still get
some of that movement behind it.
816
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:08,820
[Erick] My fear is that this
is gonna start looking a bit dirty.
817
00:33:08,821 --> 00:33:12,532
[Giada] I understand what you're saying,
but there is no other flexibility.
818
00:33:12,533 --> 00:33:15,201
Just put a regular coat of paint
over this.
819
00:33:15,202 --> 00:33:16,703
- Coat it all.
- Yeah. Forget...
820
00:33:16,704 --> 00:33:18,204
It doesn't work.
821
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:19,997
I have faith
that it will look good in the end.
822
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,251
But I got to tell you, like,
if it doesn't, I'm gonna lose it.
823
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:24,377
Okay, now let's go to the drapes.
824
00:33:24,378 --> 00:33:27,380
This is why I brought you a treat
for these drapes.
825
00:33:27,381 --> 00:33:29,465
Okay, Danny, Danny, Giada...
826
00:33:29,466 --> 00:33:31,843
- Danny and Danny?
- [Erick] Danny and Danny.
827
00:33:31,844 --> 00:33:32,885
You cannot forget.
828
00:33:32,886 --> 00:33:34,929
[Giada] That's good.
I only have to remember one name.
829
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:36,848
[Erick]
So I had them bring the Roman shade
830
00:33:36,849 --> 00:33:38,891
so we can see visually
what you're thinking.
831
00:33:38,892 --> 00:33:41,978
You see how everything just feels
a little bit shorter?
832
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:44,647
Whereas the drapes
are gonna make the space feel taller.
833
00:33:44,648 --> 00:33:47,900
I really just feel like
drapes are always on the ground.
834
00:33:47,901 --> 00:33:50,319
They pick up a lot of dust, a lot of dirt.
835
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,114
And, to me, in a kitchen,
they absorb a lot.
836
00:33:53,115 --> 00:33:57,076
Like, I know this is also fabric,
but it absorbs differently.
837
00:33:57,077 --> 00:33:58,619
I like the Roman shades.
838
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:00,538
- I hear your point.
- But I haven't seen the drapes yet.
839
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:02,290
So let me see the drapes,
in all fairness to you.
840
00:34:02,291 --> 00:34:05,042
- Guys, can we see the drapes?
- Yeah.
841
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:07,545
When I have strong opinions,
I like to get my way, yes.
842
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:08,504
[Erick] Get it out.
843
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:09,714
[laughs]
844
00:34:09,715 --> 00:34:11,424
[Giada] And clearly,
Erick is the same way. [laughs]
845
00:34:11,425 --> 00:34:14,677
We at times butt heads.
846
00:34:14,678 --> 00:34:17,930
[Erick] All right, Giada,
look at the beauty of the drape.
847
00:34:17,931 --> 00:34:21,017
It's beautiful in a bedroom,
in a living room.
848
00:34:21,018 --> 00:34:24,270
Let me lay out how the visual
is gonna play out.
849
00:34:24,271 --> 00:34:25,980
Dining table. Dining chairs.
850
00:34:25,981 --> 00:34:27,982
You're having a beautiful dinner here,
851
00:34:27,983 --> 00:34:31,319
and it's so easy for us
to just come walk over,
852
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,904
open the drape.
853
00:34:32,905 --> 00:34:35,865
Also, you can put these in the washer.
They pop out--
854
00:34:35,866 --> 00:34:37,909
- You can put those in the washer?
- Yeah, it's linen.
855
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:40,495
Whereas a Roman shade, you can't do that.
856
00:34:40,496 --> 00:34:42,955
No, you'd have to get someone in
to steam clean it.
857
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:45,666
Exactly. Also, you cannot see in.
858
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:47,168
There's total privacy.
859
00:34:47,169 --> 00:34:49,128
- If you want to go outside and try it--
- I'm going outside.
860
00:34:49,129 --> 00:34:51,715
And you won't be able to see me,
but I can see you.
861
00:34:54,468 --> 00:34:56,344
[Giada] I stood out there for a second.
862
00:34:56,345 --> 00:34:58,930
and I did not want to see
what he was describing.
863
00:34:58,931 --> 00:35:00,181
I really didn't.
864
00:35:00,182 --> 00:35:01,432
And then I let it go.
865
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:02,850
All right, fine.
866
00:35:02,851 --> 00:35:04,852
People can't see in, but you can see out.
867
00:35:04,853 --> 00:35:06,187
And it's true, the Roman shade
868
00:35:06,188 --> 00:35:08,815
- you're either seeing out or you're not.
- [Erick] Exactly.
869
00:35:08,816 --> 00:35:12,777
If you can get light into the space
but still have privacy,
870
00:35:12,778 --> 00:35:14,195
that's a win.
871
00:35:14,196 --> 00:35:16,322
See, Giada? Trust the designer.
872
00:35:16,323 --> 00:35:18,825
Thank you for letting me
go through the process, Erick.
873
00:35:18,826 --> 00:35:20,201
- Thank you for your patience.
- It's important.
874
00:35:20,202 --> 00:35:21,661
- That was easy.
- Drop the mic, you win.
875
00:35:21,662 --> 00:35:24,872
- That was not easy.
- That took three hours, but... [laughs]
876
00:35:24,873 --> 00:35:26,917
[uplifting pop music playing]
877
00:35:28,961 --> 00:35:30,920
- All right, you lead the way.
- I will.
878
00:35:30,921 --> 00:35:33,297
So this is a local market
879
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:36,217
that has a lot of the ingredients
that I use for the cochinita.
880
00:35:36,218 --> 00:35:39,679
[Giada] There's a lot of cool stuff
I have never actually used.
881
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,975
{\an8}I find that a lot of the Mexican spices
have different types of flavor profiles.
882
00:35:43,976 --> 00:35:46,519
- For example, like, this cinnamon.
- Uh-huh.
883
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,938
It's more fragrant and it's sweeter.
884
00:35:48,939 --> 00:35:51,065
- Mm, it smells so good. Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, yeah.
885
00:35:51,066 --> 00:35:53,359
So the other thing that I use is oregano.
886
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,944
- It's kind different.
- Ooh, let's smell the oregano.
887
00:35:54,945 --> 00:35:56,821
- Mm, I love it.
- There's a depth
888
00:35:56,822 --> 00:35:59,949
to the Mexican oregano,
as well as the Sicilian oregano.
889
00:35:59,950 --> 00:36:02,285
It packs a punch.
And to me, this is fabulous.
890
00:36:02,286 --> 00:36:04,579
[Michael] You don't know
what you're getting in the stores
891
00:36:04,580 --> 00:36:06,247
- when it's pre-ground.
- You're okay with this,
892
00:36:06,248 --> 00:36:09,083
- just not with the pre-made--
- Yes.
893
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:12,086
{\an8}It's a little challenging at times
because I'm a purist.
894
00:36:12,087 --> 00:36:16,757
{\an8}And so when I want to make something
that uses a specific ingredient,
895
00:36:16,758 --> 00:36:18,301
Whitney will say,
"Oh, we could just use this."
896
00:36:18,302 --> 00:36:19,886
I'm like, "No, no, no, no, no, no."
897
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:23,472
I remember one time I was making spaghetti
and I went--
898
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:25,182
to put the noodles in the pan,
and he said,
899
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:27,268
"We don't break noodles in this house."
900
00:36:27,269 --> 00:36:28,853
Look at all these breads.
901
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:30,730
- Okay, this is--
- It looks like a giant biscotto.
902
00:36:30,731 --> 00:36:32,607
[laughs] My God!
903
00:36:32,608 --> 00:36:36,110
This is my childhood right here.
Conchas are a sweetbread.
904
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:38,738
But growing up, so many memories,
905
00:36:38,739 --> 00:36:42,033
having conchas across the table
from my grandma.
906
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:45,453
My grandma, she's been such a huge,
powerful force in my family.
907
00:36:45,454 --> 00:36:49,999
And she's meant the world to me
and my brother and my mom.
908
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,295
So I think the purest part of me
is just having respect for the culture.
909
00:36:54,296 --> 00:36:56,839
And it's like I take a lot of pride.
It's part of my heritage.
910
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,383
- What's that?
- Oh, wow, that looks like a drink.
911
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:02,303
- Yeah.
- Chocolate and, I think, coconut.
912
00:37:02,304 --> 00:37:04,055
- Want to try it?
- Yeah, I can try.
913
00:37:04,056 --> 00:37:07,725
I could spend hours with Michael
tasting, smelling, talking.
914
00:37:07,726 --> 00:37:09,268
He's just very well-rounded.
915
00:37:09,269 --> 00:37:10,519
[Michael] Thank you.
916
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,939
And one of the things
I want to do with him at the end of this
917
00:37:12,940 --> 00:37:14,732
is cook in that kitchen with him.
918
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:17,360
So I now have some ideas
on what we can cook together.
919
00:37:17,361 --> 00:37:19,070
This is actually a first for me, guys.
920
00:37:19,071 --> 00:37:20,863
I haven't tried this before.
921
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:22,865
- I haven't tried it either!
- [laughs]
922
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:24,952
[contemplative music playing]
923
00:37:26,203 --> 00:37:27,703
Oh, wow, that's different.
924
00:37:27,704 --> 00:37:28,871
Oh.
925
00:37:28,872 --> 00:37:30,623
- It's really-- I thought it'd be--
- It's bitter.
926
00:37:30,624 --> 00:37:32,500
- Yeah, it's super bitter.
- You guys should try this.
927
00:37:32,501 --> 00:37:33,918
It's really interesting.
928
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:35,461
[indistinct chatter]
929
00:37:35,462 --> 00:37:37,297
[Giada] Perfect. How is it?
930
00:37:38,423 --> 00:37:39,840
It's bitter, right?
931
00:37:39,841 --> 00:37:41,217
Oh, I'm into that.
932
00:37:41,218 --> 00:37:43,386
- [laughs]
- [Michael] Well, okay, wait...
933
00:37:43,387 --> 00:37:45,472
[upbeat music playing]
934
00:37:52,562 --> 00:37:54,981
Giada, look how beautiful
the drapery came out.
935
00:37:54,982 --> 00:37:56,775
- Let's take a moment.
- Done.
936
00:37:57,943 --> 00:38:00,236
I see the vision. I see the vision.
I'm with you.
937
00:38:00,237 --> 00:38:01,988
I really like this little touch here.
938
00:38:01,989 --> 00:38:04,240
- Yeah.
- And I'm so relieved the paint is working.
939
00:38:04,241 --> 00:38:06,993
The texture's really coming through,
and the color looks great.
940
00:38:06,994 --> 00:38:07,952
Yeah.
941
00:38:07,953 --> 00:38:10,329
{\an8}Erick and I are putting
our final touches on this kitchen.
942
00:38:10,330 --> 00:38:13,916
And, to me, a chef's kitchen
isn't just a regular kitchen.
943
00:38:13,917 --> 00:38:15,918
So I'm tricking the kitchen out
944
00:38:15,919 --> 00:38:18,045
with all of my favorite tools.
945
00:38:18,046 --> 00:38:21,549
Brand-new knives,
all these new pots and pans,
946
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:26,429
canisters with his favorite dried herbs
we picked out at that market together.
947
00:38:26,430 --> 00:38:28,514
I'm gonna put them all
in beautiful containers,
948
00:38:28,515 --> 00:38:30,349
label everything so it's clear.
949
00:38:30,350 --> 00:38:32,768
It's like a magic wand. Poom!
950
00:38:32,769 --> 00:38:34,645
- Nice.
- Came out nice, right?
951
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,647
Yeah. I just installed
this Command double hook here.
952
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:39,066
that way we don't have to nail
into the wall.
953
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:41,027
- Nice satin brass finish.
- [Giada] Looks great.
954
00:38:41,028 --> 00:38:43,362
[Erick] Voilà. And that should be it.
955
00:38:43,363 --> 00:38:45,197
- Dude, we did it.
- Done.
956
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:46,699
Boom!
957
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:47,783
[sighs]
958
00:38:47,784 --> 00:38:49,744
All right, I think it's time for them.
959
00:38:49,745 --> 00:38:51,370
- [Erick] Let's get them.
- Let's get them.
960
00:38:51,371 --> 00:38:53,457
- Wait, let's fix these.
- [Erick] Oh, yeah.
961
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:56,167
{\an8}We're finally gonna be in our space.
962
00:38:56,168 --> 00:38:58,210
I've been dreaming about the moment.
963
00:38:58,211 --> 00:38:59,587
I can't wait any longer.
964
00:38:59,588 --> 00:39:01,505
- [laughs]
- I don't know how we pull it together
965
00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:04,050
because I've been a nervous wreck.
966
00:39:04,051 --> 00:39:05,634
Are your hands shaking?
967
00:39:05,635 --> 00:39:07,803
- [Michael] I'll hold your hand?
- [Whitney] Yeah, hold my hand.
968
00:39:07,804 --> 00:39:09,597
- [Giada] Are you ready?
- [Michael] I'm ready.
969
00:39:09,598 --> 00:39:10,974
Okay, let's go.
970
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:13,142
- [Whitney] Okay!
- [Michael] Can we look?
971
00:39:13,143 --> 00:39:15,269
- Yes, we can look.
- Oh, my God!
972
00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:16,687
It's perfect!
973
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:17,981
[Michael laughing] Oh, my God!
974
00:39:18,982 --> 00:39:20,441
It's beautiful!
975
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:22,444
[upbeat pop music playing]
976
00:39:23,278 --> 00:39:26,572
[Giada] We wanted to make sure
you had enough storage for everything.
977
00:39:26,573 --> 00:39:28,532
We've got a little coffee station
over here.
978
00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:30,869
I think you guys are gonna
get a lot of use out of it.
979
00:39:31,703 --> 00:39:35,331
- [Michael] Look at this toaster.
- Oh, my gosh.
980
00:39:35,332 --> 00:39:37,375
Oh, my gosh!
981
00:39:38,335 --> 00:39:40,837
Oh! This is our house!
982
00:39:43,256 --> 00:39:45,801
[uplifting music playing]
983
00:39:46,635 --> 00:39:49,637
What? Look at the tile, babe.
984
00:39:49,638 --> 00:39:50,805
[Whitney] Oh, my gosh.
985
00:39:50,806 --> 00:39:52,556
They're all hand-painted Mexican tile.
986
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:55,184
- [Whitney] Wow.
- [Michael] I love it. I love the colors.
987
00:39:55,185 --> 00:39:57,228
[Whitney] Look how sweet this is, Michael.
988
00:39:57,229 --> 00:39:58,896
[Giada] We went to your Mexican store.
989
00:39:58,897 --> 00:40:01,899
We got all of the spices that you love.
990
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:04,444
- [laughing] Hey, look!
- [Whitney laughing] I know.
991
00:40:05,695 --> 00:40:06,779
I know.
992
00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:08,614
This isn't like our house, is it?
993
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,449
It's just-- It's like a miracle happened.
994
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:13,202
I didn't know our place
could look that big.
995
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:14,370
[Whitney] Yeah.
996
00:40:14,371 --> 00:40:15,788
[Michael] And the tile
997
00:40:15,789 --> 00:40:18,541
and the range in that space
is just speaking to me.
998
00:40:18,542 --> 00:40:20,876
It's beautiful,
and it feels like it's really me.
999
00:40:20,877 --> 00:40:22,962
- This is huge!
- This is beau--
1000
00:40:22,963 --> 00:40:25,798
This is way bigger
than I could have imagined it.
1001
00:40:25,799 --> 00:40:28,008
Like, I didn't think
we could fit an island in here.
1002
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:29,677
[Giada] Once you got rid of that wall,
1003
00:40:29,678 --> 00:40:32,596
it just opened everything up
for us to be able to do that.
1004
00:40:32,597 --> 00:40:36,016
And the other thing is,
when you make any kind of doughs,
1005
00:40:36,017 --> 00:40:38,894
the marble stays cold,
so you just do it right on there.
1006
00:40:38,895 --> 00:40:40,104
[Michael] Oh, yes!
1007
00:40:40,105 --> 00:40:41,438
And my big surprise:
1008
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:43,524
a foot pedal faucet.
1009
00:40:43,525 --> 00:40:45,484
- [Michael] Yeah.
- [Whitney] I love that!
1010
00:40:45,485 --> 00:40:46,986
[Michael] That is so smart.
1011
00:40:46,987 --> 00:40:49,822
My eye keeps wandering.
There's so much to see.
1012
00:40:49,823 --> 00:40:51,448
It's not just the cool counter,
1013
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:53,659
but then it's like the cool sink
within the counter.
1014
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:55,953
Like, I couldn't have dreamed
of a better design.
1015
00:40:55,954 --> 00:40:57,705
[Whitney] We have a pantry!
1016
00:40:57,706 --> 00:41:00,749
- [all laugh]
- Oh, my gosh! And the drawers!
1017
00:41:00,750 --> 00:41:04,295
[Giada] And the whole idea
is strategically placing things
1018
00:41:04,296 --> 00:41:05,671
near where you need them.
1019
00:41:05,672 --> 00:41:07,089
Pots and pans on the right.
1020
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:08,841
- Pick up, land.
- Land.
1021
00:41:08,842 --> 00:41:11,969
You're not digging.
You're not opening up everything.
1022
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:16,348
I put utensils on this side,
and then I put knives on this side.
1023
00:41:16,349 --> 00:41:19,268
So you can pick it up
and stand right here and do your thing.
1024
00:41:19,269 --> 00:41:21,812
And then remember when we were cooking
1025
00:41:21,813 --> 00:41:24,523
and you were trying to find the spices
that you don't use all the time?
1026
00:41:24,524 --> 00:41:27,359
- I set these up. Yeah.
- [Michael] Oh, whoa!
1027
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,485
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God!
1028
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:31,947
- So I gave you a little stock as well.
- [Michael] This is so cool!
1029
00:41:31,948 --> 00:41:35,284
I just can't wait to get in there
and to make something for the kids,
1030
00:41:35,285 --> 00:41:37,453
to make something for a family,
to have friends over.
1031
00:41:37,454 --> 00:41:39,580
Babe, did you see this?
1032
00:41:39,581 --> 00:41:40,873
[Michael laughing]
1033
00:41:40,874 --> 00:41:42,791
[Whitney] Oh, my gosh!
1034
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:45,711
You've never seen a man
so obsessed with a mixer.
1035
00:41:45,712 --> 00:41:47,338
It's beautiful!
1036
00:41:47,339 --> 00:41:48,756
It's gorgeous.
1037
00:41:48,757 --> 00:41:50,424
[Michael] This is walnut.
This is gorgeous.
1038
00:41:50,425 --> 00:41:54,386
So anyway, Michael has
his whole section on this side,
1039
00:41:54,387 --> 00:41:56,347
and we wanted to create
this space for you.
1040
00:41:56,348 --> 00:41:58,641
where you can work,
or just sit with the kids.
1041
00:41:58,642 --> 00:42:00,644
[uplifting music playing]
1042
00:42:01,603 --> 00:42:03,520
[Whitney] You guys, this is stunning.
1043
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:06,232
Oh, it's so cute.
Like, I can see the kids...
1044
00:42:06,233 --> 00:42:08,317
- [Erick] Storage.
- ...snuggling up there
1045
00:42:08,318 --> 00:42:09,777
and just chilling out.
1046
00:42:09,778 --> 00:42:11,737
I love this chair!
1047
00:42:11,738 --> 00:42:14,073
- I want to take a sit.
- Sit. Experience.
1048
00:42:14,074 --> 00:42:16,116
- Oh, this is a boss chair.
- [Erick] Yes.
1049
00:42:16,117 --> 00:42:18,661
- [Michael] You look like a badass.
- Do I? I feel like a badass.
1050
00:42:18,662 --> 00:42:20,246
You're gonna lock in so many deals.
1051
00:42:20,247 --> 00:42:22,498
- I feel it. I feel it.
- So many. Yes, they're coming.
1052
00:42:22,499 --> 00:42:25,000
I love that I can now
have a place to corral the kids
1053
00:42:25,001 --> 00:42:28,796
so I could have them nearby
and see them in the dining room.
1054
00:42:28,797 --> 00:42:30,089
That's big. Big.
1055
00:42:30,090 --> 00:42:32,258
- It's gonna give me peace of mind.
- [laughs]
1056
00:42:32,259 --> 00:42:34,134
All right, let's go into the dining room.
1057
00:42:34,135 --> 00:42:35,887
[new-age music playing]
1058
00:42:39,474 --> 00:42:43,185
We have a new dining set for you guys,
where you can host.
1059
00:42:43,186 --> 00:42:45,354
We wanted something a little darker
1060
00:42:45,355 --> 00:42:49,191
just to ground the whole space
as you walk in.
1061
00:42:49,192 --> 00:42:51,777
I'll let Erick speak to all this
because this was really him.
1062
00:42:51,778 --> 00:42:53,946
[Erick] We added some family photos.
1063
00:42:53,947 --> 00:42:54,947
Your grandma.
1064
00:42:54,948 --> 00:42:57,199
We wanted to make sure
that she was always there.
1065
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,535
And she's such a big part of who you are.
1066
00:42:59,536 --> 00:43:02,121
And it was a piece that we had to add.
1067
00:43:02,122 --> 00:43:04,291
That was so important.
1068
00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:07,419
Now you're ugly crying in front of Giada.
1069
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,505
[Erick]
We really wanted every little detail
1070
00:43:11,506 --> 00:43:13,299
to connect back to your story.
1071
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:14,425
It's perfect.
1072
00:43:14,426 --> 00:43:17,970
You guys are like forever
part of our home now too.
1073
00:43:17,971 --> 00:43:19,471
- It's an honor.
- [Erick] Yeah.
1074
00:43:19,472 --> 00:43:22,516
You're obviously good people,
but you've also been through a lot.
1075
00:43:22,517 --> 00:43:26,520
This is just a wonderful sort of token
at the end of that long journey.
1076
00:43:26,521 --> 00:43:29,189
[Michael] I always knew
we were gonna get through the journey,
1077
00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:33,485
but I just never envisioned how bright
the end of the rainbow was gonna be.
1078
00:43:33,486 --> 00:43:34,862
All right, one last surprise.
1079
00:43:34,863 --> 00:43:37,990
Michael, do you want to break
this kitchen in with me?
1080
00:43:37,991 --> 00:43:39,491
- Shall we cook together?
- Yes!
1081
00:43:39,492 --> 00:43:41,076
- [all laugh]
- [clapping]
1082
00:43:41,077 --> 00:43:43,287
- [Giada] Let's do it.
- I dreamed of this moment!
1083
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:44,955
[upbeat pop music playing]
1084
00:43:44,956 --> 00:43:47,459
- Wow.
- Right? It's so great!
1085
00:43:50,587 --> 00:43:53,756
Having a sharp knife is so different
than what I'm used to.
1086
00:43:53,757 --> 00:43:55,341
[Giada] Right?
1087
00:43:55,342 --> 00:43:57,718
The kitchen is so functional
and purposeful.
1088
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,971
We're gonna make memories,
and it just feels like we're at the...
1089
00:44:00,972 --> 00:44:03,057
At the start of something beautiful.
1090
00:44:03,058 --> 00:44:04,475
[Giada] Come on in, you guys.
1091
00:44:04,476 --> 00:44:06,018
{\an8}[Erick] What?
1092
00:44:06,019 --> 00:44:07,853
{\an8}[Giada] Hi, Gwen!
1093
00:44:07,854 --> 00:44:09,480
[laughing]
1094
00:44:09,481 --> 00:44:10,898
{\an8}[Michael] What do you think?
1095
00:44:10,899 --> 00:44:12,191
I love it!
1096
00:44:12,192 --> 00:44:13,901
[laughs]
1097
00:44:13,902 --> 00:44:16,236
All the kitchens of my family growing up,
from Italy to here,
1098
00:44:16,237 --> 00:44:17,446
it was the fun place.
1099
00:44:17,447 --> 00:44:20,157
Want to see some magic? Step on that.
1100
00:44:20,158 --> 00:44:22,368
- Voilà!
- [all laugh]
1101
00:44:22,369 --> 00:44:24,411
[Giada] The smells and the aromas.
1102
00:44:24,412 --> 00:44:28,123
It created so many memories and truly
it inspired me to be in the kitchen
1103
00:44:28,124 --> 00:44:30,167
because that is where I feel
the most empowered.
1104
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:32,503
I am so honored to be able
to have the ability
1105
00:44:32,504 --> 00:44:35,547
to transform their life
the way kitchens have transformed mine.
1106
00:44:35,548 --> 00:44:38,008
- You guys nailed it.
- We did it!
1107
00:44:38,009 --> 00:44:39,010
Yeah, baby!
1108
00:44:41,346 --> 00:44:43,223
[uplifting music playing]
