[light string music playing]
[Syd] You guys want chocolate chip waffles?
[Wren] Yes, yes, yes.
Chocolate chips.
Chocolate on chips.
-Going big with waffles? -[Syd] Hey, babe.
-Hi. -I might have wanted a waffle.
-And so I was thinking-- -And the kids agreed?
[Syd] If they wanted a waffle, then I could have a waffle too.
And, luckily, I had a waffle maker, eh?
I think you have to have a waffle-maker to make a waffle, right?
Like, there's not another way to do that?
Syd has a small kitchen appliance problem.
Like, for real.
If you're gonna give me such a hard time,
I'm just gonna lean into that.
I'll just get even more.
There are no other small kitchen appliances
left to acquire at this point.
-[Shea] Whoa, those look so good. -[Syd] Those look delish.
-[Shea] Who's gonna give me a bite? -[Wren] Not me.
Just found a chocolate chip on the ground. Want it?
[Shea] Oh. Don't give her the one off the ground.
-[Syd] It's clean. -[Margot coos]
-[Wren] Hm! -[Margot] Hm!
-Don't tell Mom, okay? -[Ivy and Wren laugh]
[upbeat music playing]
We're going to eastside Salt Lake.
-To meet with Mary Daniels. -[Syd] Okay.
We met Mary about seven months ago,
and we were talking about doing her primary bedroom.
And then three days later, after that conversation,
her home burned down.
[Syd] Oh my gosh.
[Shea] Mary has an incredible attitude, though.
She's rebuilding the house from scratch,
coming up with a new floor plan. I think they're in framing currently.
So, we're going to be giving her a new new primary bedroom makeover.
-[Shea] Here we are. Yeah. -[Syd] Oh, there she is right there.
[Mary] Hello, guys. How are you?
-[Syd] Hey. -[Shea] How are you?
-Oh, I am fabulous. Come on in. -You're working hard.
Oh. Or hardly working. Hardly working.
-How are you? -I am good.
-[Syd] Hi. -Hi. How are you?
My name is Mary Daniels. I'm from Covington, Tennessee,
and I lived in Utah 42 years. I'm a pioneer here in the valley.
I started Lillies of the Field thrift store to help the homeless,
the mentally ill, the needy.
I step out in the community and find the need and donate to the cause.
-[Shea] This is coming along. -You think? I know. I love the porch.
[Mary] This is gonna be great for coffee in the morning.
They've done so much even during the pandemic,
you know, with supplies and everything being low.
Yeah? Gotta go get your own wood.
I know, right? Cut down the trees and everything, huh?
I became a client of Studio McGee on a Sunday,
and my house burned on Wednesday.
And so I was telling myself, every time I get blessed, I get cursed.
And I go, "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
It's not what happens to you. It's how you handle what happens to you.
-You wanna go inside, look around? -I-- I would love to.
-Yes. -I think you're gonna like it.
[Shea] Okay. It's taking shape.
Yes. Yes, it is. It's looking quite well.
-[Shea] It's going to be beautiful. -[Mary] Yeah.
The home is all studs, which means it's just the framing, just two-by-fours.
There's more studs in here than a Chippendale's. [laughs]
[laughs]
This is my first time stepping into this space.
-I feel-- I feel good energy. -[Shea] Yes.
I feel-- Oh, look at the lighting.
Well, I love your perspective because
seven months ago, everything went into flames.
And to see a big smile on your face…
So, how long have you lived in this home?
Well, I started taking care of the young man that lived here, 2007.
Okay.
[Mary] This guy, Lyle, was my best friend.
He had lymphoma.
And, uh, he asked me to come and help take care of him for a year.
You know, they'd given him a year to live, you know?
Then I ended up taking care of him 12 years.
-Oh my goodness. -[Mary] Twelve years.
-Twelve years. -And, so, when he died, he left it to me.
When my friend passed away,
I already had my apartment.
And so instead of letting the house stay vacant or me moving,
I started using the house for the homeless.
So, I had, uh, the homeless living here.
I would supply them with clothes and everything.
And so you were doing that for several years.
-Several years, child. -Okay.
I was getting ready to remodel with you guys…
-[Shea] Okay. -…so that I could live here.
-Gotcha. -And now you're really ready to live here.
Yup, yup, yup. I want my family to be here.
I am the matriarch of the family.
I started taking care of 16 kids at nine years old.
And I've been taking care of everybody else.
And now my house is gonna take care of me.
-Good. Yes. -You deserve everything.
-[Shea] Yes. -Yes, yes.
So, we're still doing a bedroom.
-Yes. -Your bedroom. The primary bedroom.
-Can we go take a look? -Okay, let's do that.
[Mary] This is gonna be the primary bedroom
with the big, beautiful windows. The lights and everything.
-[Shea] Nice light in here. -[Mary] Yes.
This window's set up higher,
-so you're thinking bed here. -[Mary] Yes.
-[Shea] Okay. -[Mary] Yes.
I like that you did an extra window even though your bed is going here.
-I know, right. -Yes, I think that was a good choice.
It's all about the light.
Tell me about colors that you love.
-Bright white is right. Okay? -[Shea] Oh, ri--
-Oh, okay! All right. -Okay. I'm all about the light.
Yeah, I hear you talking about the windows and the light.
-Anybody else that likes windows-- -I know. We're on the same--
I love-- Syd and I fight about.
I'm, like, opening all the blinds all the time.
For me, the feeling of sunlight is just as important in a home
as the pieces that you put in it.
Is that why you put mirrors on the ceiling in our bedroom
to bounce around the natural light?
-I did not. What are you talking about? -I'm just kidding. [laughs]
-I'm just kidding. -You're such a…
If there was like a teeny tiny little bit of color, what would you--
Lavender.
-Lavender. Okay. -Lavender. Just… [splash noise]
-[Shea] Just a little bit in there. -Just a bit of lavender.
-It's kinda cool this year. -Yes.
-Bedroom, I'm feeling pretty good about. -Uh-huh.
Can you walk me through these open spaces out here?
Okay. Yes.
We had so much fun doing this walkthrough with Mary.
You could just feel how excited she is.
-I'm standing in the kitchen. -[Mary] Yes.
-And, it's-- -Open concept.
-Open concept. Yeah.
-This is like a hole for a fireplace. -Uh-huh. Yep.
[Shea] This begins the living space.
[Mary] And then all of this is gonna be open.
-[Shea] Nice. -[Mary] Yes.
So, this is your dining room. I see the chandelier wire here.
-This will be the dining space? -Uh-huh, yep.
Going to do your bedroom. But Syd and I have some connections,
and if you're open to it, I'd love to call in a few favors
and bring in a little bit of extra decor for these open spaces if you're up for it.
I am…
Okay, if you just…
I'm just overwhelmed.
-You know, it just-- It makes you humble. -Yeah.
You think that you have to do everything for yourself and by yourself.
And when you find out that you don't,
then it makes all the difference in the world.
Well, I am so, so excited to see this come together for you.
[Mary] Me too.
♪ I got my hands in the air Like I just don't care ♪
-Okay? So, yes. -Okay.
Feel at liberty.
-Okay. -Yes. Feel totally free.
-I'm up for it. I'm up for it. Yes, yes. -Okay. Okay.
-Thank you so much! -Yes, yes, yes.
Given all that Mary has done for the community,
I really want to donate our design work
and quite a few pieces from my Target collection
to Mary's project.
-We will see you so soon. -Thank you. Okay.
She's so positive no matter what happened.
-Thank you, guys. -That is true. Yeah.
It's incredible. I walked away just thinking, like,
"How can I be a little bit more like Mary?"
She's-- She's-- She's awesome.
-Oh, you're the best. You're so sweet. -Yes. It's gonna be good.
It's gonna be great.
-[Shea] Take care, Mary. -[Mary] All right.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Shea] Hello? -Oh, hey.
[Shea] Oh, hi.
[Billy] Come on in. Yeah.
We're going to measure for some furniture
and to see if there's any zhuzhing
-that we can do… -All right.
-…in addition to the bedroom. -[Billy] Sounds good.
In this big open space off the kitchen, we're going to create a living room,
dining room, entryway, and even a small office area.
I have certain pieces in mind from our collection,
and I just want to measure to see if they will work.
So, 72 feels good on the length.
Width-wise…
Okay. I'm sitting at the table.
-When the chairs are tucked in, it'll fit. -I think we're good. Yeah.
Okay. [sighs] Dining table.
In a space this open,
it's important to find a few elements that bring cohesiveness.
Dining table, six chairs.
-Yeah. -Should fit around that nicely.
We have this long rectangular table with this light wood tone.
We have this tall wall here,
so I feel like maybe a cabinet with glass doors or something like that.
Not everything needs to connect, but at least one or two materials do.
She owns a thrift store.
We can, like, maybe gather some pieces that are in her store and display them.
In the dining room, the space is long and rectangular.
We picked tables that go with the same shape of the room.
And then we're doing a tall cabinet in the corner to give the space height.
But to break up those straight lines,
a round brass chandelier will really anchor everything.
And living room is going to be centered around here.
A sectional would really block off
-the space, and so I think a sofa. -Yeah. Definitely.
[Shea] In the living room,
I really want to use this skirted sofa with this really beautiful sloped arm,
and then in the corner,
this chair that has a dark fabric and really pretty brass castors.
-Like, where she can be the queen. -Okay.
[Shea] We are orienting the furniture so that the sofa faces the fireplace
and then accent chairs on both sides.
The back of the sofa creates a nice division
between the dining room and the living room.
Whites, creams, beiges, grays, that's our color palette.
And then some lavender.
-So this is her primary suite. -Cool.
And I think that the layout's pretty straightforward
because we have, like, the big window here and the smaller window here,
and I think that her bed should go under there.
Okay. So we have the 60 here,
and then we'll have room
-for nightstands on either side. -Mm-hmm. Yeah.
And then I feel like it would be so pretty to do a leaning mirror here
-to kind of bounce around the light. -Mmm.
Her closet is to the right, and so then one last check before you go out.
When designing a bedroom with limited space,
the bed is the priority.
You can still usually fit a rug under your bed.
And I think that a rug really centers and grounds a space.
And then window treatments don't take up any square footage,
but they add an extra layer to make the room feel complete.
I'm so excited to surprise her.
I also might-- Can we throw in the porch?
-I wanna talk to Billy. -Do some porch furniture out there.
Okay. Front porch. Billy, tell me what I'm working with here.
So, we'll go about six feet deep.
-[Shea] Okay. -And it'll span the front of the house.
So, about six feet? We have enough room on either side that we could do furniture.
I think we should surprise her with some furniture out here.
-So when she comes home, it's all done. -[Alana] Yeah.
-Billy, can you keep that a secret? -I'll try.
-Okay, you'll try? [laughs] -We'll keep her out of here.
Okay, we'll bring in the furniture last minute.
-I wanna surprise her. It'll be so great. -Okay, perfect. She'll love that.
[Shea] Awesome.
[Syd] This is a great spot. Typical, safe parking spot.
Just trying to help you get those-- Those 10,000…
-10,000 steps. Is it 10,000 a day? -[Shea grunts]
-Every day? -It's plenty enough work.
[Syd] What are you hoping to find?
-[Shea] Everything. -[Syd] Everything?
Well, we're shopping for Mary, but I feel like I come here and I'm like,
"Ooh, I need a card for somebody. Ooh, I need a new candle. Ooh!" [laughs]
I go to Target all the time to raid my own collection.
I think there are some really great accessories for Mary's home.
Accessories are part of the design.
And a lot of people consider them to be an afterthought,
but it really helps the big pieces of furniture shine
when you add a few extras on top.
We have to get this tree because it's been, like, sold out.
-This one? -Yes.
Okay. Look how strong I am. [grunts]
We're gonna need another cart.
Wait, did you talk to them about when I can get a picture up here?
[laughs] No, I actually didn't talk about that with them at all.
I've been a Target fan forever. When we designed our first apartment,
I would sneak, like, candles and accessories into my cart.
[Syd] Even when we had, like, no money,
-you would put cereal back… -Like, really--
-I'd put cereal back to get a candle. -…and get a candle.
It was just a little bit of happy.
And that little joy made up for
-cereal that we didn't have. -[laughs]
-I was fed by your joy. Yeah. -[laughs]
I think one of these candles will be great.
It's kind of that color.
I think this coffee table would be good.
I kind of wanna style it and see a couple of the things that…
-Do you want me to move this? -…we could potentially use.
Some rounded shapes. Maybe I'll bring in some coffee table books.
It is nice to put a few round shapes on that round table.
I love these marble links. This is real marble.
Those are sweet.
[Shea] They kind of have that purply tone again,
and so I think that that could be another object,
maybe it's on her entry console.
These are yeses.
The way her bedroom is set up, these would be pretty on her nightstands.
-Do we need two of these? -We need two.
If we're doing symmetrical nightstands,
I like to do symmetrical lamps.
I feel like the symmetry just adds a stateliness to each side of the bed.
You know what accessories I love in the bedroom?
Is, like, the nightstand so I can just put my water next to the bed.
-Mm-hmm. -What were you thinking?
-Same. -Okay.
[Shea] I love this doormat that we did.
-Ooh. -"Do good, be good."
Isn't that perfect for Mary?
Yeah, that's awesome.
Feels like a easy-breezy shopping trip without, like, all three kids in the cart.
You'd be like, "Hey, no. Please don't--" "That's super glue."
-"We don't need that today." -"That's double-sided tape."
-"We're just here for one thing." -"We don't need a snow shovel."
"Only a couple more weeks of winter left, put that back, please."
[atmospheric music playing]
[Syd] Who wants hot sauce with their chicken nuggets?
-Not me. -Not me.
Come on.
-[cute baby sounds] -[Ivy laughs]
You just want me to say hi? Hi. Hi.
-[Shea] Hi. -Do you want some nugs?
Did you get a new air fryer?
The handle broke on the other one.
Syd, we have so many small kitchen appliances.
Dude, it's not that many.
-You are so dramatic about it. -We have-- That is not true.
Looking at all of your appliances…
I mean, I think this is worse than me just, like,
swapping a box of cereal for a candle.
No, it's not. I'm enhancing our life, and you were depriving us of food.
Oh my gosh. [laughs]
-[Shea] How many do you think we have? -Six.
-I don't know. Seven to ten. -[Shea] Ivy, how many do you think?
-A lot. -[Shea] Seven to ten?
-Let's count them. -I think we actually have more than ten.
-You're taking the over on ten? -[Shea] I think you're right
Ives, you think it's under ten?
I'll take the over.
[Wren] I'll take over.
Dang.
-[Shea] Toaster. One. -[Syd] We bringing them out?
Oh yeah, I'm gonna show you. I am proving to you…
-[Shea] Blender. -[Syd] Dang.
-The waffle maker. -I use that every day.
[Shea] The panini maker. The old air fryer.
-[Wren] Six. -That's the freaking workhorse there.
Fit a whole rotisserie chicken in there.
Do you really use all of our kitchen appliances?
Do you really use all of our home decor accessories?
No, but it's nice to have them…
-Touché. [laughs] -…because at some point you'll need them.
-When you need them, they're there. -Fair enough, babe
They're my accessories.
-[laughs] -My cooking accessories.
-We tie if we get to just ten. -Ice cream maker.
-That's-- That's it, right? -[Wren] Ten.
-No. -That's gotta be it.
-[Shea] Ah-- No. -Are you serious? I use all of these.
[Shea] I think we might need to implement a "buy one, get rid of one" rule.
Fifteen.
[Shea] We gotta scale back, babe.
[Syd] All right. It's kind of an intervention.
Once you see it, you kind of have to face the truth.
[Shea] Face the truth. [laughs]
-This is a big shop. -Little shop, isn't it.
-Not little. It's like two spaces. -Well, yeah.
Great.
-[Syd] Let me get that for you. -Oh, thank you.
[bells dinging]
All right.
-Mary's got lots of good stuff here, huh? -Oh, cool.
Like flashbacks. Remember when we used to go all the time…
-[laughs] -…looking for stuff when we were young?
-Remember that? -Kind of.
We're checking out Mary's store when we know that she's not there
so we can pick up some items and style her home,
and make it so she knows that they're from her thrift store.
But then her home is full of accessories that she knows and loves.
Excuse me, do you know when Mary's coming back?
Uh, she should be back in about 45 minutes. Was she expecting you?
No, I'm actually trying to sneak out of here
-before she gets back. -[Dorothy] Okay.
[Shea laughs] Okay.
I'm doing this really great cabinet in her dining room,
and so it needs to be filled.
She seems to like these little glasses and crystal things.
Would something like this look good in the glass cabinet?
I'm gonna skip the duck.
That's a goose, babe.
-You really goosed my idea. -I'm really sorry.
In the dining cabinet…
like a few rows of glasses would be nice, I think.
[clinking glass]
Oh, and they have these cute little dots on the side.
This is perfect because I get to get a sense for what Mary likes
because she's picking the items that then go in her thrift store,
but also I love to mix old and new.
Vintage is really the key because it just adds more soul to a home.
I think this, like, greenish glass vase is pretty.
-Oh, that's cool. -[Shea] Yeah.
We're not going to just take all the vintage pieces and put them in one corner.
The plan is to distribute them evenly in all spaces.
Her favorite color's purple.
-[Syd] That's cool. -Little bowl for her kitchen.
These are pretty.
These are silver.
-Like taper candle-holder things. -Oh yeah.
I feel like you're like my thrift store design guide.
You go in there and you're like, "Okay, I'll get that, and this and that."
And then it comes home and it's like with the other piece.
I'm like, "This is so cool." But I cannot do that alone.
That's…
-No. Mm-mm. -[laughs]
Thank you.
Is this cool?
"Jeff." [laughs]
-Sometimes my friends call me Jeff, so… -[laughs]
-[Shea] All right, Jeff. -Well, that was fun.
-That was a successful shopping trip. -I was like, "Who are you talking to?"
You. [laughs]
-Now I got it. She's gonna be stoked. -I trust that you can handle it.
-You scored. They're great. -[Shea] Yeah, I hope--
[Alana] I'm like a weakling. I'm so sorry.
[Danielle] It's okay.
Woo!
Do you want me to carry your cup too?
[laughs] Sure.
-Woo! Okay. Coming together. -Yeah.
These are all the goodies from Mary's shop.
-Oh, cool. -Awesome.
I'd love to put them in
-all the rooms, yeah, exactly. -[Danielle] Dispersed around.
-[Shea] Love this bowl here. -That's so cute.
-It's pretty. -[Danielle] That's beautiful.
Mary has lost so much,
and I want to, not just place furniture on the floor,
I want to be able to be thoughtful about filling every-- every surface
so that it feels just like home when you walk in the door.
And styling has the ability to do that.
[Shea] So, this is our mirror for over the desk.
Over the desk.
♪ "Loop," there it is ♪
This worked out perfect…
-For a little desk area. I think so too. -…for a little desk area.
[Shea] There we go. Right there. That looks great.
[Shea] I love finding little spaces to make an office.
And, if it's, like, a big wall, it's gonna feel lost,
and so it needs to be, like, a small space
with, like, an architectural feature.
Like the staircase or maybe a window
that designates that small area as a place to style.
And then artwork. So, this is the one that we had planned for.
But we have another option. Do you wanna see that
-put up? -Let's compare 'em. This one's nice.
The colors look nice.
I feel like we'd need a lot of accessories
to fill in on the sides for this one,
whereas here we could just put, like, one or two things…
-[Alana] Right. -…layered.
[Syd] Gotcha. [grunts]
Yeah, the scale of this one fills the space above the fireplace…
a lot better.
Looks nice.
Oh, making some progress.
-Getting there. -Yeah.
-The height of the bed is perfect. -You like that height?
-It's really nice. -Okay. Perfect.
This mirror, I just want it to be a little bit higher
so that you can, you know, get ready in the morning and see-- see yourself.
Down a little bit. Down. I think that height right there looks good.
So I'll just put my finger here for a second then we can mark it.
We don't have a dresser in this space,
so we couldn't put a mirror above a dresser.
And I feel like in the bedroom,
you wanna be able to check yourself out in the mirror
before you leave each day. But also, it's across from a window,
so it really bounces light throughout the room.
So one more time.
The pathway is really tight around the table.
Beautiful.
Let me stand over here to make sure we got a good path here.
This clear glass vase I got from her shop…
do we like that on the coffee table? Or do we like it better…
No, I think I like it on the coffee table.
Like… I like these…
-These are so pretty. Do we want them on-- -[Danielle] Oh, that could be cute.
[Shea] Up here.
Styling is a lot of trial and error.
And I'll just shift things until it feels calm.
-Design with your feelings. -Design with your feelings.
If your husband placed it, it's probably feeling like it's in the wrong place.
Pro-tip, we're gonna do the triple fold.
So, you pull it up, then you pull it back,
then go like this,
and then you get a fluffier…
edge.
More purple for Mary. Very cute. I love it.
-[Syd] Do you want me to test it out? -Sure.
-[groans] -You see yourself working here?
-I literally can see myself-- -Oh yeah, that's true. I guess you can.
Look at how much seating we've been able to get into this space.
It is not a large space. It is one open room.
Mary knows that we will be adding pieces beyond the bedroom.
I don't think she has any idea to what lengths we're going
to make sure that every square inch of her home is designed.
I am so excited to see her reaction.
Me too. There's just been a lot done. This is a new home, a new space for her.
Pull it so it's centered just a little bit.
-I-- [chuckles] -You knew…
-I thought I was. -[Shea] …that there would be an adjustment.
There you go, perfect.
-Cute. -[Syd] That looks good, babe.
[Shea] Okay.
All right. Hope she loves it.
I think Syd and I can handle the last few little cleanups,
and you guys can head out.
You guys can get out of here. We'll take the credit.
-It'll be perfect. See you guys later. -[laughs]
-[Shea] Okay, thank you so much. -[Syd] It looks great.
Yeah!
[anticipatory music playing]
-Hello! [laughs] -Hi, how are you?
So good.
-[Syd] We're excited to show you. -[Shea] How you doing?
-[Shea] We got a good surprise in store. -Oh, thank you.
I have been waiting for this moment for the last eight months.
I cannot believe that the time is finally here.
-Ready? -Okay.
Do we count down? Do a drumroll or something?
-Three, two, one! -Three, two, one!
-[Syd] You can open your eyes. -[screams]
Oh my gosh. [screams]
-[Shea] We haven't even gone inside yet! -[Mary] Oh my goodness!
Oh. I-- I love it.
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh my goodness!
Oh my God. You're amazing.
It was overwhelming.
I can't believe the transformation.
[Shea] You got a little place for coffee.
The doormat says, "Do good, be good,"
-which reminded me of you. -[laughs]
And a wreath to finish off your beautiful door.
-[laughs] -[Mary] Wonderful, wonderful. Oh!
Are you ready for more? There's so much more behind that door.
-We gotta go in. -I wanna show her inside.
I wanna see!
-Okay. -Let's freakin' do this.
-You lead the way. [laughs] -Oh! Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Oh my goodness!
So beautiful!
-[Mary] Oh! Look at this. Oh. -[Shea] Look at this.
[Mary] I didn't even imagine none of this.
It's a dream come true.
[laughing]
-[Syd] Yes. Love that. -I gotta dance. I gotta dance. [laughs]
-Okay, okay. -[Syd] That's incredible.
[Shea] So, we created an entryway over here,
-like we talked about. -[Mary] Yes, yes.
You said that you wanted it to feel light and airy…
-Yes. -…but a little bit cozy, and some purple.
Little hints of lavender, so you'll see we've
-incorporated that here. -I know, I know.
-[Mary] I see. Uh-huh, uh-huh. -[Shea] A couple of spots for you.
-Plenty of lavender. I love it. -Yes, a little lavender.
She went above and beyond.
The colors and the warmth.
There's nothing crowded, there's nothing jumbled up on anything.
It's a designer's original.
-[Shea] Anyone has nooks and corners… -[Mary] Uh-huh.
-…it's the perfect place to put a desk. -[Mary] Yes.
-[Shea] It was like it was meant to be. -[Mary] Meant to be.
-And then Lyle found a home here. -Oh! No, you did not!
-Oh! Oh! -[Shea laughing]
-Oh my God, you did this. Oh my gosh. -[laughing]
He did this for me. I took care of him, and now he's taking care of me.
[Syd] That's so sweet.
So, moving into the dining room, I felt like we needed a really long table.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, -That the space was long and…
-Look at the lighting. Oh my goodness. -The light fixture… is beautiful.
Has this really great gold tone, and I feel like it feels so stately.
-It does. -[Shea] Yeah. Yeah.
This cabinet, we felt like this is the perfect place for you to rotate lots of
-treasures, in and out. -[Mary] Okay.
-[Mary] Okay. I can see that. Uh-huh. -[Shea] Um…
-[Shea] You talked about gatherings… -[Mary] Yes.
-I wanted to give you plenty of seating. -[Mary] Uh-huh. Yes.
In an open-concept room, she gave me twice as much as I expected.
She gave me an entrance, an office, a dining room,
a beautiful living room with a fireplace in front.
[Shea] We pulled a few things from your shop in here as well.
And I noticed a lot of glassware,
-and so we-- I don't know if you reco-- -[Mary] Uh-huh. Oh okay, I remember!
-I love that they have these cute little… -I remember these, yes.
These are from the early '20s.
-Really? -Yes, these are very old.
You just don't know how I feel right now.
Thank you, darling.
Oh, my!
Oh, my! Oh, my.
-Oh. [laughs and claps] -[Shea laughs]
Oh, the bed. I was thinking of a twin bed.
-No, we got you a queen bed. -[Syd] It's the queen. You're the queen.
Oh my gosh!
-Queen for a queen. -A queen bed. Oh yeah, there you go.
That's h-- That's how I am at the end of the day.
I'm just like-- [groans] I just fall into bed.
I love this color.
Oh, good. I'm so glad.
The rug was what gave me the inspiration,
because it has a bit of lavender and then it has a soft blue.
I feel like when you do these really light and airy spaces,
it's nice to have a few moments where there's a
little bit of depth to the color palette,
and so that's why we went with these darker blue nightstands.
They have the brass hardware that ties into what's in the living room.
[Mary] I couldn't imagine this.
-I couldn't imagine. This is a miracle. -[chuckles]
I'm really overwhelmed. I'm really, really happy right now.
You guys are…
-Come. Group hug. [laughs] -Group hug. [laughs]
-Oh, you're the best. You're the best. -[Mary] Oh.
I'll be 74 years old this year.
I've been running this journey a long time, and I've worked hard at it.
We don't live in houses in heaven, but if there was a house,
I'd keep this one. [laughs]
I just love it.
-[Mary] Look what you guys did for me. -Yeah. Yeah.
-You fixed this so good-- -Well, you do so much for others.
This is the least we can do. You're so inspiring.
-Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you. -Thank you. Thanks for that.
-My family's coming later! -Yes. I love it!
-I love it. Thank you so much. -You take care, Mary.
[Mary] I'll see you, guys.
-Love you! Okay, bye-bye. -[Syd] Love you, Mary. See ya. [laughs]
[Shea] Mary taught us so much by just having the right attitude.
I am so moved that we were able to give Mary a beautiful home
where she can be the matriarch of her family,
and where she can recharge her battery in order to keep doing what she does,
helping other people.
The fire, which seemed like such a terrible and sad thing,
did not deter Mary,
and turned out to have a surprising upside.
We feel so lucky that we have been touched by this angel that is Mary.
