[atmospheric music playing]
We're headed to Ross and Michelle's house.
The home is a 95-year-old Craftsman
that they call "The Purple Palace,"
and they just had their first baby.
I remember going from one to two wasn't bad,
but going from zero to one was, like…
-Zero to one was… -Shocking.
-[explosion sound and laughs] -[explosion sound]
-Over. -It was over. [laughing]
Michelle and Ross bought a 95-year-old home
that has two primary suites, and they're on different levels,
which is a really unusual feature in a home of this age,
and they are hoping to update it
to fit their multigenerational, multicultural family.
-What do you want for lunch? -[Ross] What're you doing?
My name is Michelle, and this is my husband, Ross.
-I'm gonna do number 12, the Wonton Soup. -Ooh, that sounds good.
We are a story of office romance.
-Order. -Sent.
One week into the job, I met this beautiful woman
who I thought I would ask out for drinks. And after a few attempts,
she finally took me up and eventually became my wife.
[laughs]
-[mahjong tiles cracking together] -[speaking in Mandarin]
Whose turn was it?
[speaking in Mandarin]
[Michelle] I lived in Canada growing up, but moved to the Bay Area for college,
thinking I would relocate back to the East Coast.
But after graduation at our first job, I met Ross.
And now, 13 years later… [chuckling] …we bought a house in San Francisco,
and we're moving my parents here.
[all speaking in Mandarin]
[Michelle] I want the baby to grow up in a multigenerational,
multicultural environment.
Wow, everyone is bringing their A-game. I'm not.
But I want him to feel comfortable and not be with his in-laws 24-7.
And I know that my parents also want their own lives too.
-[Ross] Did she win? -[laughs] Yeah! [speaking in Mandarin]
-You took her Kong? -Yeah, ten dollars extra money.
[clapping]
-[Syd] Looks like The Purple Palace. -[Shea] This is The Purple Palace.
We have arrived.
-Hi, welcome. -[Syd] How's it going?
-Hi, I'm Ross. So nice to meet you. -I'm Shea. Good to meet you.
-Hi, Ross. Syd, nice to meet you. -Come in. Hey, I'm Ross.
-Do we take our shoes off? -Come on in. Yes, please.
That is tradition in our house.
Thank you for coming. This is Sky.
Sky. Hi. Oh my goodness.
-Yes, he's turning six weeks tomorrow. -Six weeks.
So new baby, new house. How are you guys doing?
We're first-time parents, I don't know if you remember.
-Oh, I remember. -[Michelle laughing]
[Syd] I remember like, "Is someone gonna come check on us
and make sure we're doing the right thing?"
"The hospital just sent us home with a new baby."
It's really hectic.
I don't know how we would be doing it without Michelle's parents here.
They just came to stay with us for the first month of Sky's life.
-Okay. -And then eventually forever.
-The plan is for them to move in with us… -[Shea] Okay.
…which is why we are so excited to have your help.
I'm seeing a lot of plants.
-[Ross] Yeah. -[Shea] Ross, this is you.
I'm the plant dad.
[Shea] So will this provide some inspiration?
Definitely, especially this monstera. We got married in Tulum,
and used a lot of monstera plants in our wedding.
I have one tree in our bedroom that I
can take care of because I see it every morning,
and then if anything else is outside of my daily back and forth,
I don't-- I-- I kill everything.
-I water it and give it a pep talk. -You're like, "Good job." [laughs]
-"Come on, plant. Pull through." -Pull through.
So, are you hoping to incorporate plants into the primary bedroom?
Um, real plants in the bedroom would be awesome.
-Okay. -[Ross] Yes.
Well, I'd love to see a tour. If you guys are up for it.
-Aw, look at these healthy plants. -Yep.
Mom and Dad, we're here.
-Hello. -This is Shea.
-Hi, I'm Shea. Good to meet you. -And this is Syd.
This is where Ross and I are currently staying,
but we're hoping after the renovation,
then this will become space for my parents.
[Shea] Okay. This has been a major move.
Yeah.
First time we're having five people living together.
Oh, okay.
[speaks in Mandarin]
No, she says, in China, it's the parents who set all of the rules.
What are the rules?
How full does the dishwasher need to be to run?
-Seventy-five percent. -[Michelle] Seventy-five percent. [laughs]
I think if our parents were to move in, it would be difficult for us.
Your mom and my dad would have the same rule.
The eternal cup.
They drink a little bit, there's this much left, but they'll leave it there.
And you and I want to put it into the dishwasher
-so it's not there. -And six hours later they'll be,
-"Have you seen my cup?" -"Have you seen my cup?"
You were telling me that one of your favorite things about California
is that it's better for dancing outside.
It's a thing that we call the Chinese shuffle.
She choreographs her own moves.
-We'll show you. -You taught yourself?
-Yeah, yeah. [laughs] -[Shea] Oh, I love that.
It was so good to meet you guys.
I would love to see the space that we're renovating upstairs.
-Let's go. -Let's do it.
Our home, it's nearly 3,000 square feet.
Two primary suites, right now, one upstairs, one downstairs.
And, we love that it gives us a ton of flexibility for multigenerational living.
The only challenge is
the primary suite upstairs, where we would love to be, is small.
Right this way.
[Ross] Right now, it's a guest bedroom, office, and a bathroom.
Multiple spaces meeting together.
We hope to remove that wall, combine these three rooms,
and create a place that reminds us of our wedding.
So, definitely that bohemian chic feel.
[Shea] So, we have a vestibule with two bedrooms
at the end that branch off, kind of at an angle.
Between the two rooms, I see a closet and a walk-in closet.
Are you hoping to combine closets, to one big one?
Do you like having separate spaces?
-Combined closet is fine. -[Shea] Okay.
It's gonna be ninety percent hers anyways.
-That is not true. [laughs] -Ninety-five percent. [laughs]
If we're going to share a closet, it would need to be…
-A little bigger. Okay. -…a little bit bigger. [laughs]
[Shea] We have to take down the wall in order to combine a bedroom
and their current office.
Then we'll close off the entire area
so that the bathroom becomes part of one large primary suite
with an office nook.
What is the dream bathroom?
[Michelle] Two sinks, nice countertop, a spacious walk-in shower.
I'd love to be able to see the other side of the wall that we're taking down.
So let's look at Ross's office.
This is it.
Nice.
[Shea] This is great.
I think some sort of fun Zoom background is really important.
All they see on a video call is really this much.
So, having a backdrop that doesn't look like a bedroom is important to you.
Do you guys have things that are on your wish list?
Neutral, modern, bohemian, kind of laid-back, nothing too, um, traditional.
-And some plants. -Real plants.
-[Shea] Real plants. -Jungle meets beach.
-[Ross] Jungle meets beach. -Great. [laughs]
Michelle and Ross's home has elements of the Craftsman style,
but it really does feel like a mix of styles.
We've got some Spanish revival in there,
and then we have some mid-century in their personal design aesthetic,
but if you're mixing styles in a home,
it can go wrong if you lean too far in one direction.
What I'm kind of kicking around right now, is putting the door here.
Keeping your bathroom in the same place, but, um,
like scooting it into the hallway just a little bit.
And then that way you can keep all the plumbing in the same spot
so that the costs don't skyrocket,
and then you'd continue to move into the space with this wall removed.
-So, let's just get it dialed in for you. -Thank you.
I have to go talk to their parents,
and see if they'll teach me the Chinese shuffle.
I'm kind of interested.
-Oh yeah, okay. Let's-- -Oh yeah. Let's see it.
I hope it's our forever home.
[Michelle] Okay, all right, let's go.
[Shea] There we go.
[Ross] This renovation gives it the opportunity to be, to coexist.
We can get the best out of each other without losing our minds.
This is awesome.
We can give each other the space that they need, but also come together.
[Michelle] I think Mom's better at it than you, Dad.
You gonna-- You gonna try?
-I'm gonna try-- I'll try the first part. -[Michelle] That's the routine.
You got this. [laughs]
-Uh-oh, dang. That was a good one. -[laughing]
[Shea] Good job.
-Good job. High five. -[Shea] Yay. [laughs]
[Michelle] That was amazing.
[Shea] Okay, so let's talk about Michelle and Ross.
So, here's what they're requesting.
A completely new primary suite.
They want an area for their bed, a living space, and an office space.
-Okay. -And then they want a walk-in closet.
There's a lot to fit in to this existing space.
-Yes. -Okay.
It's like a puzzle piece right now
of how to get them all the things that they want into the same footprint.
[Shea] To create a luxurious primary suite,
we'll be dividing the space into two zones,
one for sleeping and the other for the office space.
I think that if we remove the wall between the bedrooms,
grab some space from that linen closet in the hallway,
that that might give us a few extra feet in the office.
For the office nook,
we'll bring in a stained wood desk with two comfy leather chairs
against a bay window to give Michelle and Ross a nice backdrop for work calls.
Next, we will add white oak beams on the ceiling
to add texture and draw the eyes up,
creating the illusion of more height to the ceiling.
The idea I had there was to change the entrance to the closet,
so that we can make this a solid wall.
And then we could actually locate the desk there.
[Shea] We will wall off a two-bedroom, one-bathroom area
and add a door for privacy that will open into a vestibule.
We will then combine two sliding closets into one spacious walk-in closet.
In their bathroom, they want it to feel spa-like,
and they want a double vanity.
In the primary bathroom,
we'll install his-and-her sinks and a glass shower
with glazed terracotta tile in a herringbone pattern.
We'll also use large-format limestone tiles for the floor.
And for the fixtures, I want to do unlacquered brass plumbing throughout.
So, I'll work on pulling some initial samples
and coordinating with Tiana on the demo plans.
Perfect.
[Shea] Yeah, Wren. Woo!
[woman] Get it, Wren.
They each have gotten so much better. They've been working hard.
They have, you can tell.
[Shea] Yeah, you got it, you got it! Quick feet.
-[laughing] -You're good.
-[laughs] -Ivy.
[laughs]
-[Tamara] So you've just been working? -[Shea] Busy, busy, busy.
-I can't even keep up with your schedule. -I know.
[Shea] I always dreamed about being busy with this kind of work.
I'm doing what I love.
-I mean, where you began, to here. Wow. -Yeah. Totally.
My mom has been with us every step of the Studio McGee journey.
I always stay home with baby Margs,
and I am so excited that I got to come today and watch you
-because you are killing it. -Yes.
It's been so great to share this whole journey with her,
and she's always encouraged me to just go for it.
[Shea] Oh, hey there.
-Oh, a tennis player arrives. -Woo! Look who decided to show.
-What's up, dudes? -[laughing]
-[groan] -I feel we've done a pretty good job
of instilling that same determination in our girls.
[chuckling] We are all super competitive.
Winners.
I have never played jungle ball. Ivy, we need a teacher.
-[Shea] Syd? -[Tamara] Syd.
Okay, so, it can bounce as many times as you want, but it can't roll.
How about me and Wren versus those three?
-[Wren] Yes. -[Tamara] Okay. Game on.
-[Shea] Oh-- Oh! Okay. -Game on.
-[Shea] Come on, Ives. -Come on, Ives. We can do it.
-Do you guys have the ball? -[Tamara] Girl power.
-[Shea] Oh, that was not okay. -[Tamara] Ah, no way.
Okay, zero-one.
Go really far up. Do what Dad did to us.
-If Dad's going to play dirty. -[Ivy] There.
-[giggle and laugh] -We don't lose, Wren. We don't lose!
[grunt]
-[Syd] Woo! Ha! -[Shea laughing]
-[Syd] Don't lose! Don't lose! -Go on. Let's go! Go, go on.
-[grunting] -[Shea] Go, go--
-[Syd] Woo! -[Shea] Aw. I don't like losing to Dad.
-Good game. -[Wren] We won.
[Shea] Jungle ball's, like, no rules.
-Yeah, 'cause it's the jungle. -'Cause it's the jungle.
-And the jungle has no rules. -[laughing]
[Syd] Welcome to the jungle.
[demolition noises]
[woman] So, we're gonna take down this wall.
We'll take it down to studs and brace it.
And depending on what the engineer says,
-we'll get that beam in. -Sounds good.
[Shea] What we're doing today for Michelle and Ross's demo is gutting the bathroom,
tearing out the wall that separates the guest bedroom and the office space.
We are redesigning the closet to gain space from an unused linen closet,
and then we're relocating the door into the primary suite
so that the entire area is connected.
Okay, so let me just call Shea.
[phone ringing]
-Hi there. -Hi.
Okay, so, welcome to demo-day surprises, of course. We're in the old closet.
Originally we thought we were gonna take this entire wall down today,
but unfortunately, we've got a couple of unbraced posts in the roof.
There's a bearing point right here.
We're just gonna look at the structure a little bit better
to better brace this wall, so we can take it out.
So, we'll be a little behind on that.
There are some unbraced structural issues done by a previous contractor.
-[Shea] How is this on our budget? -[chuckles]
We're gonna have to cut open the floor a little bit
so that we can get the supply line over to the closet corner.
This is a big safety-code issue, and we can't remove the wall
if the ceiling isn't properly braced.
And then the other thing.
This is some ducting that we found
in what is gonna be the new opening of the primary suite.
-Per your design, you wanted a flat wall. -Okay.
While demoing the wall between the bedroom and the office,
we found ductwork located on the outside wall.
It needs to be moved because I can't hide it with plants.
[Tiana] We're gonna have to relocate it.
So, I'll get back to you with numbers as soon as possible.
[Shea] Relocating the duct is the best solution
because we don't want a bump-out on the wall that needs to be smooth.
Basically, the ductwork requires, like, a box of drywall.
And so, if your wall is supposed to be like this,
and then all of a sudden it goes like… this,
then I can't place a dresser there or a desk or the bed.
Karate Kid training, like, ductwork block, you know?
-Yeah. [laughs] -Drywall block.
-There you go -Artwork placement block. [chuckles]
I've had worse calls,
but that's-- that's-- But, I'm also holding my breath for budget numbers.
-I know it's-- -So keep me posted.
I will get that to you as soon as possible.
-[Shea] Thank you. -[Tiana] Thank you.
-[Shea] Girls? -[Wren] What?
Do you have any important meetings that you have this week?
No.
-No? -What? Nothing?
Sounds amazing.
We're so busy these days.
Sometimes it feels like the only time we have together to catch up
is in the car while we're on our way to another activity.
-What's on your calendar? -Uh, cheer--
-[Syd] Uh-oh. What was that? -[Shea] Oh, was that--
-[laughs] Margot thinks that's funny. -[Syd] What was that?
-Margot thinks it's really funny. [laughs] -[laughs]
-[Shea] What did you just spill, my water? -[laughing] Ice.
-[Shea] My ice? -There's no more water left.
-[Shea] You took all my water? -Our kids have taken everything from us.
-[Shea] What's on your calendar this week? -Cheer, tumbling, tennis.
Did you say dance yet? You just did your first dance competition.
-How did that go? -Good.
Just good, like, fine?
-What place did you get, Ivy? -First.
-First? -Okay, chew your food.
-First. -[Syd] There we go.
-There we freaking go. -You have another box of fries?
[Syd] You know I had to get two orders of fries
because this is what always happens,
you say, "No, I don't really want any," and then you eat all my fries.
[Shea laughs]
I just love you so much I prepared for it, so we didn't have the conflict.
-I just wanted a couple of them. -I wanna share my life, not my fries.
[Shay and Wren laugh]
[construction sounds]
[Shea] Oh my goodness.
-The ceiling looks amazing. -[Tiana] Good.
Does it feel you've been transported to Tulum?
-I know-- That's where-- -That's where you thought you were.
I know, actually.
[Shea] The bracing in the ductwork set us back about five thousand dollars,
but we got approval from Michelle and Ross to move forward, and I'm so glad we did
because fixing these issues make all the difference.
[Tiana] We have an issue with the beam.
This beam is intersecting the other crossbeam.
It's just a hair shorter, so we need to build it out.
We can rebuild this beam just a hair taller.
-It should hang down. -[Tiana] We should hang it down
and make it clean on the inside.
Okay, let's get the stain samples on the floor.
One of my favorite parts of the design process is the wood flooring stains.
It's kind of one of the most stressful, because you're really committed.
In Michelle and Ross's home, we had existing hardwood floors
that were original to the home.
[Tiana] I'm ready for it, Craig.
-Can we raise the grain? Great. -We raised it.
[Shea] We've stripped away the old stain, and we're left with raw wood
that is gorgeous in its natural state, and we just need to enhance it
and finish off the floor so it's durable.
[Tiana] So, this one right here is Bona stain,
so, it's gonna go on nice, even--
I'm kind of like, "Uh, this one's not gonna work for me."
Do you want to try your whitewash next? So, this is like a pure whitewash.
[Shea] With the neutral palette that we're going for,
I don't want the gray to make the room feel cold,
so I need some warmth in the neutrals.
[Tiana] This is clear that's been patinaed over time, sun-worn.
-I mean-- Mm-hmm. -[Shea] The clear is pulling the orange?
And that will happen unless you tone down the white oak.
When applying a stain to a wood floor,
it draws out some of the natural character of the wood,
and often a stain will pull orange or yellow.
And I'm wanting it to feel like a more neutralized brown,
and the orange I just feel like feels a little dated
and will really overpower the color palette in the space.
-What is that third one called? -[Craig] That is sun-beach.
-We're trying to create a sun-beach room. -That's looking really blue-gray to me.
-[Shea] But it looks really gray. [laughs] -[Tiana] Look at how the white lightened.
Yeah. That's kind of pretty.
Um-hmm. That's, um, one of my favorites, weathered oak.
It's a little warmer than what the ceiling is, but I kind of like it.
Mm-hmm. It's got a little bit of coolness to it.
Oh, that's really pretty.
[Shea] That's really pretty. Okay, that one.
For the stain, I'll do that formulation,
and then I'll step it up a little bit lighter than that.
Okay, well, I'm gonna take off.
[Tiana] Excellent.
[cable car dinging]
We are so close. We've ordered the furniture.
The construction is done, we picked the floor color,
and now we just need the window treatments.
-[Shea] Hi. Thank you. -[salesperson] Welcome, how are you?
-[Shea] Good, how are you? -Good. Good to see you.
[Shea] I need custom window treatments.
We're taking inspiration from our clients' honeymoon to Tulum.
Lots of light, airy neutrals, and some textures.
[salesperson] Over here you'll see a couple Roman options.
My plan for the window treatments
is to create this beautiful moment behind the bed.
We have a bay window on one side of the room
and then half a bay window on the other.
This particular one happens to be one of our most populars,
it's a flat Roman shade in a heathered linen.
-And it's motorized, so it's fun. Right? -Cool.
No, we have these at my house, these remotes,
and my kids, like, hide the remotes.
And then we have to find them.
And then they go like this, they-- they do it, then they stop.
Then they go down, then they stop.
[chuckling] And then they go up, and they stop.
And I'm like, "Just open or close the window, please."
But I love these because it's so nice to not have the cords hanging down.
Well, there's that, and then this particular,
uh, shade is one of our most populars
in this collection. It's called a waterfall woven woods.
Yes, and they just had their first baby.
-So, I think this is a good safe option. -[salesperson] Absolutely.
We're gonna select a woven wood shade for Michelle and Ross's bedroom
on all of the windows.
I love woven woods, because they have so much texture.
And, in this space in particular, it really speaks to the Tulum vibe.
To get the beachy texture that our client wants,
I'm thinking of layering shades and drapes.
[salesperson] Okay.
I want the drapes to feel like they could be blowing in the breeze.
So, I loved, like, the white linen, and then we can pull down a shade.
And block out the light, but these look nice and light
-when the windows are open. -[salesperson] Of course.
So, I'm liking this direction, but I think
that I like this more transitional pleat here.
-Okay. Yeah. -The tailored pleat.
[Shea] I love layering shades and drapes together
because it just adds that extra little bit that brings warmth to a space.
-Someone's calling me. -[salesperson] Okay.
-Oh! Hi, I'm working. -Hey.
What are you doing? [laughs]
-I don't know I can't get it-- -I'm working too.
I can't get it to, like, turn all in the same direction.
Like, when I turn it to the side…
-[Margot coos] -[Shea laughs]
-[laughs] -[Syd laughs]
-Hi, Margs. How are you? -Margot's like,
-"What in the world is going on?" -What is going on?
-She said, "I miss you, Mom." -[Shea chuckles]
Oh, my hopes are that you can find some treats to bring home for me.
If you're in San Francisco, 'cause I know they got good stuff.
I have to catch my flight, but I will squeeze in some time
to find some sort of treat.
If you have to miss your flight
to get a treat, it's okay, I can see you tomorrow.
-[laughing] Okay, thanks. Miss you too. -[Syd] Like, the girls will understand.
Ah, say-- Say, "Bye, Mom. Love you."
-Love you, sweetheart. Love you, Margs. -Bye, Mom. Love you.
Syd went through an Oreo phase,
and every evening he would eat an entire row.
He couldn't just be like,
-"I'm just gonna get two." A whole sleeve. -[laughs]
-Who can eat two? [laughs] -[laughs]
You get halfway through the row and say "It's a good stopping point."
No, you clean the row out. It's a nice clear--
-A clear stopping point. -A delineation point.
Cut off, right there.
So pretty.
So it goes just right over here. Right there is great. Thank you.
The desk.
That's nice.
-Hello. -Hey.
Hey, here we go!
-It's coming along. -Yeah. All right.
[Shea] The drapes look amazing.
Because of the Tulum inspiration that Michelle and Ross have given to us,
we're using a lot of light linens that have this really relaxed feel
and some textural elements like seagrass and patterns that feel subdued.
I want to just make sure that it feels really organic.
You ready?
-[Shea] I feel like it's centered. Yeah. -Feels pretty good.
-[helper 1] Is it even on the sides? -I think we overcorrected.
-No. -Too much.
-Just a bit. -[Shea] There we go.
[helper 1] Looks good.
-Oh! I love it. -[laughs] Isn't it so fun?
Yeah, very cute.
-What is it called, what kind of plant? -I have no idea what it is.
I know it looks good in here, so, we're gonna go with it.
Okay, so this goes at the foot of the bed, right here. Beautiful.
-Do you have your phone? -Yeah.
I wanna, like, make a call and see what our background is.
[Syd] Oh, for Zoom calls and stuff?
Yeah, because they're gonna set their computer up here,
and then we want them to have a nice, pretty backdrop.
I love that that branch goes like that in the background, but I wanna see it.
-Yeah, and if the screen's back… -The computer's like this?
…if they push their screen back a little bit more, you'll get that chair.
Perfect. Okay.
Hey guys. We'll circle back on that later.
Let's have a quick-- Let's schedule a quick TB on that.
Oh yeah, there you go. [laughs]
-[chuckles] Okay. -[Shea] Okay, you ready?
-Yep. Let's go. -Let's go get them.
-[clapping and laughing] -[Ross] Good job.
-Good job, buddy. -Where you going? Where you going?
-Hello. -[Michelle] Hi.
-[Ross] Hello. -Hi!
-[Shea] Oh my goodness. -[Syd] Hey, Sky.
You're twice, maybe three times as big as when I last saw you.
[Syd] Oh my gosh.
Well, we have created a luxury primary retreat for you.
[Ross] Oh, wow.
So, if you're ready to go on back…
-[Ross] Let's do it. -…let's head back.
I am more than ready to see the new room. We've been waiting months for this.
-[Michelle] Ready? [laughs] -[Ross] Let's do it.
Oh my gosh. [laughs]
-[Michelle] Oh wow. -[Ross] Oh my gosh. Wow!
-[Michelle] Look, this is beautiful. -[Ross] My goodness.
I felt transported.
I felt that the space took us back to a moment
that was very special for us in our wedding.
-[Michelle] So we're back in Tulum. -Oh, honey.
My first thing was, "Wow, it's huge."
There was a wall and these angled doors.
We took out the wall and repaired the original floors.
-[Michelle] You nailed it. [laughs] -Thank you.
[Ross] There's so much room in this bedroom.
I'm just gonna come in and do a cartwheel.
This is the bed nook.
The nightstands and the bay window, just having something with curves there,
-I think really makes it feel intentional. -[Ross] Yeah.
[Shea] We found this vintage textile and had a custom bench made.
[Michelle] I'm so satisfied. There's a lot of love in that room.
It's warm, and I can't wait to sleep in it tonight.
Everything is beautiful, look at the ceiling.
The ceiling might be the best part.
-The ceiling is incredible. -I'm taking it all in.
[Ross] I love the exposed beams,
but I can't believe you did the wood everywhere.
It's so beautiful.
[Shea] You gave us this inspiration of Tulum,
and so we brought that to the ceiling.
Pivot over here.
We have your office space. And it's not just office, yes.
-We're gonna compete for this office. -[Michelle] I already have it.
-What's the competition? -[Ross] Uh-oh! You're so fast.
So the leather chairs definitely have that mid-century look to them.
They look really cool in the backdrop of my new office.
-Eh. [laughs] -Yeah.
Oh wow.
Wow, look at the tile. Look at that pattern.
-[Michelle] Oh, that's beautiful. -[Ross] And the gold? Look at the vanity.
[Michelle] The mixed metals.
[Shea] So, we grabbed a few inches into the vestibule
to be able to put two sinks.
We did a few tricks of the eye to help extend the look of the countertop,
so we did this thick profile on the front,
but then we added this floating edge detail here,
so you grab a little more countertop space.
We kept everything tonal to give you that spa-like feel.
-So, it's about textures and… -[Ross] Yes.
[Shea] …the organic movement.
[Michelle] The mixed hardware is hard to pull off.
So, that is gonna continue to be inspiration for the rest of the house.
We have more.
-Behind me is your new walk-in closet. -[Ross] Yes.
[Ross] All right. This is amazing.
[Shea] The door to the space was on this wall before,
and we closed that, and then we grabbed a few feet
from the linen closet that was being underutilized in the hallway.
-Now I have a walk-in closet. -[Shea] Now you have a walk-in closet.
They knocked it out of the park.
-I had really high expectations. -[laughs]
And I feel like she more than exceeded them.
She's like the Mary Poppins
-of interior design. -[laughs]
-[Ross] Come on in, buddy. Aw. -Come on, Mom and Dad.
-Hi, what do you think? -[Ross] Hey, come on in, buddy.
-[Ross] Yeah. What do you think, buddy? -This is Mommy and Daddy's room.
-Do you love the renovation? -[giggling]
-Oh, you love the renovation. -[giggling]
Yeah, are you so happy to move in? Yeah.
-Say, "Thank you, Shea and Syd." -Thank you, Shea and Syd.
-Yeah. -We love it.
-I love it. -[Michelle] You love it?
-Yeah. I love it. -Yay! Thank you.
-[Shea] I'm so glad you love it. -Thank you so much.
[Shea] Michelle and Ross wanted a multigenerational home
that could accommodate their growing family.
By providing them with their own living space,
both Michelle and Ross, and Michelle's parents,
can now live together harmoniously under one roof,
giving Sky all the opportunities and support
he'll need from both his parents and grandparents.
