01x02 - Double Twin Trouble

Post by bunniefuu »

-I'm Jessica. -I'm Lizzy.

[Jessica]

[cries]

including your house.

Every day, I feel like I'm

failing.

[Lizzy]

it can make such a big

difference

-in how you parent. -[squeals]

We come in and help make your

home

Oh, my God!

I don't even know how we begin

to thank you guys.

You need to be celebrated.

■■

-[William] Abbey? -[Abbey] Yeah?

You want to help me make

pancakes?

Yeah.

I call first dibs on pancakes.

My name is William, and this is

Nakeya.

And we are the Loopers.

[Nakeya]

We have two sets of twins

No, no, don't put your hands in

it.

I washed them.

You guys, don't pull everything

out the refrigerator

all at one time.

[William]

[chuckling]

Not enough.

[William] Oh! There you go.

Perfect.

-"You have your hands full."

-"You got your hands full."

Yeah.

[chuckles]

[Nakeya] Grant. We're not having

whipped cream yet.

[Guy] Want some orange juice?

[Grant] If you have it right

now,

you can't have it at breakfast.

-Yes, I can. -[Grant] No, you

can't.

-[Guy] Yes, I can. -[Grant] No,

you can't.

[Abbey] You got it on the

counter.

That one's yours.

[scoffs] You just touched all of

them.

One of the struggles with having

four kids

that are really close in age

If it's, you know, "nobody

understands me,"

If you're just a parent of one,

just think of that times four

Okay? We're all bunched in one

area.

This is not gonna work.

It just recently kind of came to

a head

them arguing more at bed time.

I'm always coming down every

five minutes, like,

"How many times do I have to

come down here?

What is going on? Why are you

guys fighting?"

Somebody needs to rinse those

blueberries.

-Grant, you could do that.

-[Grant] I don't want to.

You didn't do anything.

[Abbey] You haven't done

anything at all.

Yes, I did.

This is a hundred percent

stressful

because most nights,

And to see it come to, like,

yelling or, "Get out!"

They'll fight, so it's kind of

stressful,

like, "What do we have to do for

this

not to be an everyday thing?"

We've got to do something.

[Nakeya]

■■

Okay, so the Looper House.

-This is the two sets of twins.

-Two sets of twins.

-That is wild. -Yeah.

Could you imagine having four

babies at one time?

-[Jessica]

-[Lizzy]

Diapers and sleepless nights.

-I'm telling you-- -And now they

have teenagers.

[Guy] I just get, you know--

I just got it out of the fridge

for me, not you.

Okay, it only takes one second

to pour syrup.

[boy] What are we having for

lunch?

It's only breakfast.

What are you talking about lunch

for?

[all] Hi!

-[William] How are you doin'?

-Hi, I'm Jessica.

-[William] Come on in! -Nice to

meet you.

I'm Lizzy, I like to give hugs.

-[Nakeya] Hi! -[Lizzy] I'm a big

hugger.

Look at this beautiful family!

It's so good to meet you guys.

[William] Just having a little

breakfast.

[Lizzy] Okay! Pancakes, the

bacon going.

-I want to flip some pancakes.

-Oh, go for it!

You guys are tweens, and you

guys are teens?

[boys] Yeah.

Yeah, they're 12 and they're 13

going on 14. So

-Okay. -[William] Oh, thank you.

I thought you were going to say

13 going on 40.

[all laugh]

With one teenager,

I'm literally crying myself to

sleep every night.

[chuckles]

I can't imagine four.

Four!

-We each have three kids.

-[William] Oh!

But mine are really spread out.

I have a 14-year-old,

11-year-old,

-and a four-and-a-half year old.

-Oh, wow.

So same baby daddy though.

[laughter]

-We just spread it out.

-[Nakeya] You just took a break.

-[William] Right on. -A long

break.

[Jessica] We just wanted to meet

you guys.

We admire any parent that can

have multiple children,

but to have two sets of twins

close together,

that's on another level.

I'll say this. There's nothing

like hearing

four babies crying at the same

time.

-[laughter] -Oh, my God.

It's really interesting.

Wow, I'm so crazy about the

Looper family.

[Lizzy]

-The kids were so-- -Sweet!

-Sweet, well-mannered--

-Well-mannered.

[Lizzy]

You can tell they are very

close.

And that they take a lot of

pride in their family.

What are you guys going to do

now?

You're gonna hang out for a

little bit

-while we talk to Mom and Dad?

-[boy] Yeah.

So we can get all the scoop on

y'all?

Like what's really happening in

the house?

Yeah. You cool with that?

-Yeah. -Okay. All right.

Take your plate to the sink.

What are you doing?

[Lizzy] Oh! Oh! Mama's laying it

down.

Yes, Mom!

[Nakeya] To the sink and then

go.

And you rinse?

-That's right. -[Nakeya] Yeah!

-This is the step-- -[Nakeya]

Otherwise they got to

-come back and wash. -Oh, my

goodness!

-[Nakeya] Is it empty? -Yes!

-Oh, this is a step for my kids.

-[Lizzy] I like this.

Actually, you know what?

Our kids are both really good

about putting dishes away,

-So it's nice to walk in-- -I

threaten my children.

Of course, you do.

I was just trying to help out,

and I failed.

you know, clear the counter so

we can talk.

[gasps]

[Lizzy] Ooh, you broke it. Ooh!

[Jessica] That was a nice glass.

I'm just saying this just out

loud because

I would never say this in front

of them,

but I was mortified when you

broke their wine glasses.

Not as mortified as I was.

■■

■■

I just broke, um

-a really nice glass. -Good job,

Jess. Good job.

I'll put it on the shelf.

Jessica Alba broke this glass.

[Jessica] Oh, my God!

I was, like, "Oh, my God,

I cannot take this girl

anywhere."

It was very embarrassing.

I'm really sorry.

That's okay.

-Look, she-- [laughs] -We have

insurance.

[Nakeya] As long as we have

four,

we can still use them.

We'll get you another set.

For real. For real.

You really can't take me

anywhere.

I think let's just touch on the

twins.

-Yes. -[Jessica] Grant and

Christian

-Guy has his room. -Okay.

Abbey has her room and Grant and

Christian share a room.

Now they want to be separate.

It's a lot more fighting,

and sometimes I have to call

William down,

-like, "Help!" -They look alike,

but their personalities and

everything

-are totally, totally different.

-Okay, how so? Tell us.

[Jessica] Yeah, tell us about

it.

[William]

[Jessica]

[William]

They want to be individuals,

they want to have their own

interests.

And they have always just been

lumped together.

There's a lot of yelling and

they're in each other's way

and annoyed with each other,

and we've never been, like, a

yelling-type of house.

So it's a lot more hectic

Twelve and 13. That was--

Those-- That's that age where

they're, like

It's a critical age, I agree.

-They're-- they're not -Kids

-kids, they're not adults.

-Adults

[groans] And also they're-- My

kids,

I'm not going to talk about my

kids,

but I'm just saying that

this is the moment where they

try to flex on you

-and everything you say-- -Oh,

not the jerk though--

-Oh. Oh. Oh. -They flex on you

and literally,

you can't have a good idea.

[laughs]

It's sort of like, lots of

hormones,

-lots of changes there, -Lots of

things happening.

-between being kids and adults.

-[Nakeya] Exactly.

So there's a lot going on

emotionally.

-[Nakeya] Right. -[Lizzy] Right.

It's a new one for us.

I think meeting all four of them

for the first time,

I was just really excited to see

their room.

Same. I 100% was so curious.

Just to see what this wing was

all about.

[Jessica] All right, Grant and

Christian.

Hi.

[Lizzy] All right, all right,

all right.

Whose bed is whose?

This is my bed, that's Grant's

bed.

Okay. No one decided to make

their bed this morning.

-[boy] No. -[laughter]

■■

Okay. What do you guys do in

here?

What's your hang out?

We usually just play video games

or something.

-[Lizzy] Both of you?

-[Christian] Yeah.

Both of us. But he's, like, more

into it.

So if he's a gamer, then what

are you into?

I like tactical stuff. And,

like, military stuff.

-Oh, oh, right! -Cool.

What is it that you like about

tactical gear

and military life?

-My grandpa fought in Vietnam.

-Oh, wow.

[Lizzy] Oh, wow.

So, does it make you feel closer

to, kind of, like, your family a

little bit?

Yeah.

-[Lizzy] Yeah? -Aww.

That's so sweet.

[Lizzy]

-[both] Yeah.

And especially you guys being

twins?

Everyone thinks you guys do the

same thing.

[both] Yeah.

[Jessica] They probably treat

you guys like you guys

are the same person, but you're,

like,

"I'm totally different."

[Grant] They all think we want

to share everything.

Yeah.

[Jessica] So, what is your

style?

-I like to be more flashy. -Oh,

okay.

What do you have in your

wardrobe right now

that you feel like stands out?

-A gold chain. -[Lizzy] Ooh,

ooh.

-Man after my own heart.

-[laughs]

Okay, So that's your thing.

What about your style?

I don't really like to stand

out.

-Yeah. Opposite? -You're giving

me, like,

like, spy vibes.

Under the radar.

-That's right. -Covert.

-That's so true! -On a mission.

Yeah! [chuckles]

[Jessica] This is the time in

your life

you get to figure out, like,

kind of who you want to be and

grow into.

And I feel like it's probably

hard

when you feel like you're,

sort of, always mushed together.

-Yeah. -[Jessica] Okay.

They need to have their own

identity.

They do.

■■

■■

[Lizzy] Go ahead, Jess. I know

what you're thinking.

-So, go, say it. -What?

I know exactly what you're

thinking.

What? I'm impressed that he made

his bed.

[Guy]

[Lizzy]

[Guy]

[Lizzy]

[Jessica]

-[Guy] Oh, yeah, I have weights.

-[Jessica] You work out?

Yeah, I like to work out.

-Cool. -Yeah, I want to get

stronger.

[Lizzy] What's your color

palette?

Do you really love grays?

I like gray, white.

-Brown and black-- -[Lizzy] So

neutral.

-[Jessica] Okay. Yeah. -[Lizzy]

So you like neutral.

[Jessica] It's very calming.

Yeah, And I also wanted to

mention one more thing

-[Lizzy] Yes, tell us. -which

is the windows.

[Guy] I'd like to maybe open

them, but I can't.

Okay. Now, wait a minute,

though,

because this is my parental

brain kicking.

Yeah.

Now you're the front of the

house.

-Mm-hmm. -So you open the

window,

are you going out that window?

-No. No, no. -[Lizzy] Okay,

okay.

I just want to have your word on

it. Okay.

But I used to sneak out the

window.

Don't listen to this one.

-Bad influence. -[Jessica] All

the time.

Bad influence. Don't listen to

her.

No, but I was, like, I was a

good kid.

I just used to-- A hundred

percent.

What, good kid and sneak out the

window?

Well, I came back!

No, no, That does not-- No!

Girl, I couldn't imagine you as

a teenager.

-Please stop. -I was the worst.

You have all the feelings.

-I had so many feelings

-Stop.

and my parents did not

understand me.

[laughter]

■■

■■

-Oh, wow. -Oh!

-Okay, so this is-- -So whose

room is this?

[Lizzy] It looks like a

pass-through room.

It looks like, like a hang out.

■■

-Hi! -Abbey!

-Hi. -[Lizzy] Can we come in?

-Yeah. -This is so cool.

And I see, like, a little bit of

a bohemian

thing happening.

[Abbey] Yeah, I really like

Bohemia.

Do you do a lot with jewelry?

Yes. I wear jewelry every single

day.

-[Lizzy] Oh! -[Jessica] Oh, wow!

Okay! Now that you're, like,

getting a little older,

what are you looking for out of

your room now?

[Abbey] Right now, my room is,

like,

all the blues and stuff 'cause

that was, like,

my favorite color when I was,

like, ten.

And I'm, like, more into, like,

rosy pink or, like, sage green.

-Oh! -Okay, I like that.

Okay, your style is elevating.

-Yeah. -I think we got a good

vibe.

We got you, girl. You're in good

hands.

You're in good hands.

Thank you for showing us your

room.

Yeah, nice to meet you.

[Lizzy]

I'm excited with this family

to help them usher into the next

phase of

-what life is. -[Jessica]

■■

Hey, guys. We have seen it all.

Have you? Did you get all the

dirt?

We have seen it all!

This was really cool.

We got to see everyone's, like,

personality

They're so different.

Yeah, And in their rooms, you

can see they're sort of,

like, in between this, like, kid

child,

and this sort of, like, young

adult.

We need Jessica and Lizzy to

solve this problem for us.

And don't worry, Jessica will

bring some wine glasses.

[Nakeya] Okay. [laughs]

I'll bring back a lot of wine

glasses.

-We'll see you guys soon.

-[Nakeya] Okay, bye.

[laughter]

Careful.

Today, the Loopers are finally

moving out.

That means that I'm going to

help them pack boxes.

Get everything out of here,

Y'all ready, huh?

All right, So I have Paul here

from Clutter,

and he's going to help take out

some of these boxes for you

guys.

Can you guys carry some of these

smaller boxes?

-Yeah. -Yeah, you can get this

one.

Looper Family! Ay, ay, ay!

-You know what? -What?

I really like the Loopers.

Okay, so let's talk about their

house a little bit.

[Jessica]

a ten-years-ago version of these

kids.

-This is true. -Verse who they

are today.

[Jessica]

All right, so let's organize

what we know about each of them.

Guy.

Guy is military.

No. Guy is basketball.

Now put his room under where it

is.

-Right? -Well, this isn't--

[Jessica] Like that.

Sorry.

-Does this help you visually?

-Yeah.

You're really kind of messing up

my vibe here.

Well, do one, two, three, four.

Do you want to switch?

No, your writing's better.

No, put Grant left.

And then Christian right.

One, two, three, four.

You know what I mean?

[Lizzy] Our brains are so

different.

That's why we work well

together,

because we're not the same.

-No, here. -At least put it

even.

g*dd*mn it, you're not putting

it even,

you're putting it too low.

[Lizzy] No, I'm not.

You're so much higher.

■■

This is their current layout as

it sits right now.

There are four twins who are all

fighting to assert their

So Guy's here.

[Lizzy]

[Jessica]

Do you feel like Grant and

Christian

-should stay in the same room?

-No.

Yeah, well, they just want

their--

Own identity.

-Independence. -Yeah.

They do. But we only have three

rooms.

What if we do

Now we lose this real estate.

Well, you're creating a hallway.

Which hurts my soul.

But you can put a door here.

Now this space is very tight.

[Jessica] It is tight.

But then they get to be in

different rooms.

All right, what if we do this

thing?

Oh, wait, but this bathroom.

What if Abbey moves rooms?

[Jessica] And--

[Lizzy]

-

-[Jessica]

[Lizzy]

[Jessica]

If that is the layout,

I think whoever is in the

smaller bedroom,

you're gonna have to really

trick it out.

It has to be fly.

[Lizzy] It has to be fly.

And who has that fly, like,

outgoing personality of the two?

I think it's Grant. Gamer Grant!

[Jessica] So Grant's here.

-[Lizzy] Yeah. -Okay.

We're gonna need to put some

storage

[Lizzy] All right, this one's

going to be interesting.

-All right, here we are! -We are

back!

Oh, yeah!

[Jessica] This is the big

situation.

[Lizzy] TJ, you're our yes or no

guy.

This is an unused space for

them,

and we want to create a room out

of it.

Maybe make a wall here.

-Right? -[TJ] Okay.

And so now we have hallway and a

bedroom.

Yeah, once you put that wall in,

this is gonna be a very, very

small room.

So we need to know options here.

Do you wanna see what it looks

like with a wall?

Should we check, take a look?

Yeah, let's see what it looks

like with a wall.

-[TJ] How it feels? -Jess loves

painter tape.

I love painter's tape because

you can actually measure out

where things go.

And it helps you visualize what

space you're creating

or you have to work with.

Without it, I feel like I'm just

flying blind.

So we're walking in the room.

This is the door.

[Lizzy] Mm-hmm.

[Jessica] We're in the room.

-[Lizzy] This is super small.

-Small.

There's a couple options. We

could put up

a partition wall and have a big

opening

with, like, a barn door so it

could slide open.

This might give us, like, a

four-foot opening or so?

That would be cool.

So then, at least from this

point over, it's open.

So then we should think about

this wall

[TJ] As part of the room.

As part of the room.

So all of this is kind of

seamless.

[Lizzy] Right. We should

definitely do something

cool on this wall.

We totally nailed the kids'

zone.

-Done! -I'm so excited.

Have you seen their parents'

room?

-I have not. Have you? -No.

No. We've been focusing so much

on two sets of twins being the

stars of this show.

But let's be real.

Keep it 100, Jess.

Who are the stars of the show?

The parents. The people who

raised

-You got it. -these kids.

Let 'em know!

I kind of want to just go check

it out.

■■

Oh!

-What a nice sized bedroom.

-[TJ] Yeah, this is big.

-This is great. -And the-- And

so many windows.

It would just, like, k*ll me if

we don't do anything

for these parents.

-Same. Same, same. -They're the

best.

They'd be so excited to see

their kids' faces,

but imagine how happy they would

be

if we redid theirs.

It's so wide. I think you can

even

do something over here.

Maybe this is like a built-in.

You know how I love a built-in,

but keep the window.

Wouldn't it be cool if we did,

like,

-[Lizzy]

[Jessica]

Remember when I broke their wine

glass?

You're just horrible for that. I

don't even have any words.

But, like, I could really make

up for that.

I think she's a little bit more

elevated than this.

[Jessica]

What's up, fam?

[all] Hi!

I'm so excited to see you guys.

[boys] Hi.

[Lizzy] Hi! I want a group hug.

Group hug, group hug, group hug,

group hug.

Anytime we come in to redo a

home,

we're not just helping to

transform

or renovate the space.

We're also helping to transform

the families.

-How are y'all? -Good.

Yes, everyone's happy?

Everyone's excited?

-[boy 1] Yeah. -[boy 2] Very

excited.

Okay, so you know where we are

today.

We're gonna do some shopping.

You guys are, like, growing into

these, like,

young adults, and everyone is

their own vibe.

So we're gonna come in here,

you're gonna give me

a little glimpse of who you guys

are.

And we're gonna have some fun.

Okay, guys, come on. Let's go.

■■

The teen years are all about

finding yourself, as we know.

So with these new

transformations in their rooms,

why not also give them a whole

new vibe

and a new look to match.

Oh, these are cool.

These are organic and long. I

like that.

This is what you like?

Yeah, because I like them, like,

baggy.

[Lizzy] What about blues?

-[Guy] I like those. -These?

And I like the black ones.

[Lizzy] Oh, okay, okay. I like

that.

And do you like all these tops?

Yeah, but I don't-- I'm not into

crop tops.

Girl. No, I will not bring you

home with a crop top.

-Your mama will k*ll me. -Yeah.

I think it's try-out time. Are

you guys ready?

-Yeah. -Start with that.

Try those on. Try it on.

Just call me if you need any

sizes.

As parents,

of course, we always get into

these habits

of "We dress our kids, we tell

them what to wear,"

and especially as twins,

you probably get paired-in your

whole life

of wearing the exact same thing

with your twin.

We are ready. Fashion show

ready.

Today, I get to see what they

really are gravitating towards.

Prints, patterns, colors

that I can take and put in their

new rooms.

■■

[all] Hey!

[Lizzy] A little peekaboo.

-Love it. [laughs] -I see you!

■■

[Lizzy] Okay, handsome. Okay.

Y'all look so good.

-[Nakeya] Wow! -[Lizzy] I see

you, Guy! Okay!

-Look at you! -Lookin' good!

All right. Give it to 'em,

Abbey.

Give it to 'em now.

Give it to 'em, now, Abbey.

■■

Look at that!

-Ooh! Cute! -[Nakeya] Love it!

-Turn it, spin it. -[Nakeya]

Hey!

Nice!

[Lizzy and Nakeya] Oh!

How do you guys feel?

I love this outfit.

Thank you. Thank you. I love

that.

Okay, do you now see what I'm

saying?

Like, you guys have different

individual styles,

and now we can finally see you.

High five. Good job.

-Fun times. Love it. -Yeah.

■■

Look at this.

Hey, hey.

This is what you guys were

talking about,

to put a little bit of something

on this wall.

So Guy, he's an athlete.

He loves basketball.

-He likes wood. -[Lizzy] Yes.

So this is sort of, like,

how can you bring in a wood

element

and then also something's that

like--

Oh, is this supposed to be the

hardwood floors

that he plays basketball on?

Was that our inspo here?

No, it's just echoing.

-[TJ] Yeah, why not. Yes. -That

vibe.

[Lizzy] And the natural wood

texture

is cozy, timeless,

and it's an inexpensive hack to

a statement wall.

-They'll be cut. -Okay, great.

[TJ] So we can use one of the

space in between.

Put one that way and another one

right to it.

Oh, that's a nice little hack.

[TJ] Yeah, so it makes it nice

and easy.

-[Lizzy] Okay. -[TJ] Exactly.

I do need help opening this up,

so I don't know which one of you

I trust

to use a nail g*n, but, you

know

You'd be so proud that this

isn't our first time.

I'm sure I've seen it happen

before.

I was always a little nervous.

[Lizzy] I think glasses are

really important.

Jess and I get a little freaked

out

with these nail g*ns.

What's the safety on this thing?

[TJ] That on top, it won't fire

unless that's pressed in.

So try it. Go ahead and put it

right to the wall.

-There you go. So -Great.

-Jesus. -That's the safety right

there.

It won't go unless it's pressed

in.

So you can't, like, fire it at

Jess.

-That's great. -You can try.

-Don't! -[chuckles]

-[TJ] All right -Oh, my God.

[nail fires]

This feels like I'm in my

element. You know?

-Like, it feels like this--

-Pretend like it's a g*n.

Like, it feels really good. You

know what I'm sayin'?

-This is great. -Just, like,

don't do that.

■■

[nails fire]

I can't. I'm going to--

I'm going to go get some water.

Bye, Jess.

I'm a pro!

Whoa!

Oh, my goodness, it's a room and

hallway.

Wow.

[Jessica] That wall looks

awesome.

[Lizzy] It looks so good.

I think it's really cool

that we have such a wide open

doorway.

Right? Like, this really is

going to add to--

So when he closes this door and

that door

-Right. -This feels like his

space.

The paint all the way up to the

ceiling

just makes it look so chic and,

like, cool.

Wow, it turned out so great.

And we could decorate this wall.

So

Yeah, this is going to look so

cool.

Yeah, especially when he's,

like, gaming here.

Yeah, and this is his backdrop.

Even though this isn't his room.

technically the hallway,

when he opens that door and he's

gaming,

this will feel like his room.

Every other gamer watching will

think

-he has a bigger room. -Exactly,

right? [laughs]

[Jessica] How do these panels go

up?

We're actually just going to

use double-sided tape and put

'em on.

Really? And then that way, he

can take them off?

-Yeah. -Oh!

Is this the tape that we're

using?

[TJ] Yeah, we put them on just

like this.

So you can actually start

putting up if you like.

[Jessica] Yeah.

[Lizzy] So is there any trick to

it

-or just line them up? -[TJ]

Just line it up.

[Jessica] And that's so great.

What a cool little hack for

people at home.

This renovation, I think,

is all about zhuzhing up the

walls.

And this is something anybody

can do.

You know what I think is boring?

Watching people put things on a

wall.

We should do a time lapse.

■■

-This is a lot bigger. -[Lizzy]

Totally.

This is the color of the walls

and ceiling,

but then also the light floor.

And I think that is something

that a lot of people don't think

about.

It's like you do a richer color

on the wall.

If you have that light floor.

Right?

-[Lizzy] To bring in the light.

-[Jessica] Yeah.

[Lizzy] To make it just feel

bigger.

What I think is so cool about

this house

is that we really haven't

knocked down

any walls or anything like that.

They're all really doable.

Changes that anybody can do.

Yeah, this is not that. I could

do this all day.

-Yeah. -Oh, could you?

I'm-- I'm glad that you do this

all day.

-That's awesome. -Well, this one

compared to, like, your parents'

house

"Let's remove this. I don't like

this wall here.

I feel a breeze. So, what if we

move that window?"

-[laughter] -Is that your

Jessica voice?

-Yeah, I mean -[Jessica] That

is not true.

-False. False. -That is

[Lizzy] That is so true!

[laughs]

Hey!

-Hi, guys. -[boys] Hi.

Abbey, I see you. What's up,

guys?

During these renovations, we

have to ask the families

to leave their homes for weeks

on end.

And that can be a little bit of

a challenge,

especially when you're rolling

six deep like the Loopers.

-Everyone's still excited? -Yes.

[Lizzy] All right, You guys

practice.

I'm gonna talk to Mom and Dad

for a second, okay?

-Okay. -[Lizzy] Okay.

Hello, fam!

Hello!

Wow!

All right. So tell me, how do

you guys feel right now?

Excited, nervous, ready.

-[Lizzy] Yes. -Homesick.

Really? Are you homesick?

-[William] Yeah, a little. -Oh!

But it's fun. It feels like

we're camping.

So we're all close.

-Is that what it feels like?

-Yeah.

I guess being a little displaced

kind of makes you

really appreciate, you know,

what you have.

-Right. -I think I definitely

do appreciate my house a lot

more than

than I did. I don't take it for

granted as much.

[Nakeya] Yeah.

Being the amazing parents

that Nakeya and William are,

they only focus on their kids.

[Jessica] We're going to do,

like, beautiful paneling,

and this is something anybody

can do.

-It's a great hack. -Mm-hmm.

And it just makes the space look

more elevated.

Let's get into it.

Let's elevate.

■■

-[TJ] You good? -[Lizzy] Yes.

[Jessica]

-[TJ]-[Jessica]

All right, should we start

nailing?

[nails firing]

[TJ] I'm glad you got really

close to my hand.

-That's great. -And all over my

head.

[nails firing]

[grunts]

■■

All right, so today, we are

making

a wavy mirror for Abbey's room.

I'm so excited about the peg

wall

-for all of her jewelry. -Which

is so cute.

[Jessica]

-Yeah. -[Lizzy] It's gonna be so

fun.

This is the outline for the wavy

mirror

[TJ] Right. This is the part

we're keeping.

These two, we're going to

repurpose.

This line represents the table,

so we're going to cut on this

side

so we don't cut through the

table. Right?

[Lizzy] Oh, that's genius. Okay.

All right, let's do this, Lizzy.

I need a little bit of what you

got.

Let's put on our goggles,

so we don't get any sawdust in

our eyes.

I agree. This time, I totally--

I concur.

[Jessica] Do I need to hold down

the table?

-[thuds] -[Lizzy] Yes. Wow.

Just sit on it, Jess.

[Jessica] Okay. I'm holding it

down.

[grunts]

[saw whirrs]

This is called delirious.

-Oh. -I haven't had a lot of

sleep.

And my dogs have been

diarrhea-ing

-Okay. Okay. -all over the

house.

[whirring]

All I know is that between my

kids

and my dogs, I haven't slept in

a few days.

-Life is happening. -A lot of

poop in the house.

-So I'm tired. -Life is

happening.

It's a sh*t storm in my house.

-A crappy day. -[laughs]

[saw whirrs]

Don't worry, I'm holding down

the table over here.

Thank you. [blows]

Can you talk about how wonderful

it is

-to work with us? -It's

fantastic. It's great.

Because-- Just because you're

slop--

It's fantastic.

-[whirring] -Ooh!

But why do we even have these?

Pretty much how-- It goes with

everything.

[blows]

Oh!

-Whoa! -[Lizzy] Okay, that's all

right.

They give me so much pressure

right here.

-It's k*lling me. -So why are

you wearing glasses?

I just got comfortable.

And just because you chose to

take them off--

So, yeah, this is basically how

it goes on every job site.

This conversation. We also have

to do the inside.

[Lizzy] All right. I'm going to

let you do this just because

I really want this to turn out

really great for Abbey.

-Yeah, I could do-- -And I don't

want to be

responsible for messing it up.

[whirring]

No, you did the opposite.

Oh, sh*t.

[Jessica exclaims]

Oh, my God!

No, you did the opposite.

[TJ] Oh, sh*t! You're right.

It's the-- Tinku!

Oh! I messed up. Damn it.

-[Jessica] Tinku! -[TJ] You're

right.

Totally screwed this one up.

Oh, well. We have to do it

again.

■■

-[Lizzy] Hey, Tinku! -Hey!

So the pegboard is up!

You know what I like? I love

that it brings

-like, dimension. Right? -Yeah.

One of the first things Abbey

mentioned

when we walked through her old

room,

was her jewelry case.

She loves jewelry.

So we instantly knew we had to

make it

a full moment in her new room.

And we also have our mirror

-Yes. -[Lizzy] Get out of here.

This was definitely not the

one

Wait a minute, can these--?

Where did you cut sideways?

[TJ] It was over here. However,

this is by number seven

that it took to make it look

this nice.

-It looks so good. -[TJ] Yeah.

I love this. She's going to be

obsessed.

We're obviously gonna do this a

lot better.

This is just a temporary

placement.

Every contractor out there is

going,

"What are you doing?"

That is painter tape.

It's just to see so we can get

an idea.

All right.

-Okay, give me some pegs. -All

right.

So these are the pegs we're

gonna use

to display all of her jewelry

and all her cool little things.

So we can just put them all over

the place.

You know, we can even add a

little basket

and she can put even little

things in her basket,

whether it's jewelry or her

pins

This is going to be great.





[Lizzy]

We need to find, really, like,

special gifts.

Let's do it.

■■

I think we do the acne line for

all the kids.

[Lizzy] So this is perfect for

teenagers and preteens.

And then for Mom,

maybe the hydrating line and the

calming balm.

[Lizzy] Yeah.

■■

All right, so we will make these

very pretty

-Very pretty. -for the whole

fam.

All right, a little movie magic.

Go work your magic.

■■

[Lizzy]

[Jessica]

So I think with a busy, active

family,

there's always stuff that they

have to kind of clean up after.

It's important that parents can

feel like

they can really take pride in

the space.

And a simple, easy way to do

that

is just set up a relocate bin.

You know you're keeping it.

You know it's your kids'.

But it doesn't belong on the

kitchen counter.

Mom or Dad come in, drop their

relocate items--

-Or when the kids

-Absolutely.

You know, they just want to run

and have dinner

because they came in from

practice.

Just drop it.

-They just drop the relocate.

-Yeah.

[Jessica] And then donate is,

the kids have

-grown out of something. -[Amy]

Yeah.

[Jessica] They're done with it.

And then it goes into a donate

bin.

[Amy] And I think it's just

easy,

it's smart, it's in the kids'

wing.

They try something on, it

doesn't fit,

they ask a sibling, "Hey, do you

want this?"

Nobody wants it, "Let's donate

it."

■■

[Jessica] One of the best things

about this room

is definitely the storage bed.

[Amy] With a smaller room,

it's nice to be able to do that

seasonal flip.

Whichever season we're in,

we can put the opposite tucked

away.

-[Lizzy] Mm-hmm. -[Jessica]

Okay.

So this could be winter fall

and that can be summer spring.

[Amy] This is great. We now have

our containment.

[Lizzy] Mm-hmm.

So our next step is, we need to

label

-[Lizzy] Oh, yes! -[Jessica] Oh!

[Amy] to maintain.

-[Lizzy] The organization!

-[Jessica] I love it!

■■

Even though we had the shelving

in the areas to do it,

I love how you still added

little containers.

-[Amy] Yeah. -[Lizzy] For each

little thing.

[Amy] When you contain, it helps

you to maintain.

I wish my room was like this

now.

[Amy] I know.

■■

-Today is the day. -We are so

excited.

Cannot wait!

■■

[knocking on door]

[Lizzy and Jessica] Welcome

home!

-Hello! -Come on, come on in!

-Wow! -Hi!

[Nakeya] Yay!

I'm nervous for the kids,

really.

Their whole world could be

turned

completely upside down

and I just want them to be

happy.

We are so excited to see you

guys.

Like I can't believe this

moment.

And this day has actually

arrived!

-[Nakeya] We're here! -[Lizzy]

Are you so excited?

[all] Yes.

That was all in unison. I love

it!

Ladies first!

[singing] Ladies first!

Okay, so come on.

Okay. Come on, Abbey. Let's go.

[Lizzy] Nakeya, Abbey, let's go

this way.

-[gasps] -Oh, my Gosh!

Look!

-[Nakeya] Abbey! [laughs]

-What?!

[Nakeya] This is so beautiful.

This does not look like my room.

I know. Oh, my God.

■■

-[Jessica] What do you think?

-Thank you so much!

Oh, my gosh, this is incredible.

You guys nailed this.

I'm gonna be honest with you.

You are so special to us.

We have daughters, we are

daughters.

It's just like we were so

connected to you on this one--

[Jessica] Feminine, like, boho,

but also, like, cool and--

[Lizzy] We wanted straight, cool

girl vibes.

[Jessica] Yeah.

And then also, you're a jewelry

enthusiast,

and so we put jewelry pegs to

display

all of your jewelry over there

on that peg wall

so she can put her outfit

together.

Always have a new jewelry

moment.

One thing in here that we

actually really

put a labor of love into

was this wavy mirror.

She can do her makeup right

there.

[Nakeya] This is incredible!

-[Lizzy] Isn't that so great?

-[Jessica] Isn't it cool?

■■

All right, Guy, you're next.

■■

-[gasps] Oh, my gosh! -[Nakeya]

Oh, wow!

[Guy] Whoa!

■■

This is incredible.

■■

Oh, wow, the wood looks like a

basketball court.

That's really cool.

■■

[Jessica] We wanted you to

really feel like this room,

feels really elevated.

It feels like it can grow with

you

and as you grow and you're going

into

high school and then college,

you can come back into this room

and this room will still feel

right for you.

[Lizzy] We try to get you in a

bar.

This was hard to get in, but we

got it in.

So this is-- It's safe enough

for you to do your pull-ups.

You don't even know how much I

know he's going to use this.

[Lizzy] Hold up. Hold up.

This is his, okay? Okay,

Daddy-O?

■■

■■

Oh, my goodness.

[Nakeya] Oh, my gosh, look at

this.

■■

Oh, my goodness.

[Nakeya] Oh, my gosh, look at

this.

Oh, my God!

■■

[William] This is awesome.

Are you, like, so speechless?

And you ain't sayin' anything?

I just don't know what to say.

[laughter]

This was a-- was very

It was a lot for us to try to

figure out.

[Lizzy] This was a challenge for

us.

We were very nervous.

[Jessica] We put this half wall

in

and then we added this wide barn

door.

■■

[Lizzy] You're the gamer.

We decided to go a little bit

more, like,

creative in your space

because we knew that you were

flashy

Swaggy, yeah.

-A little swag -Mm-hmm.

You know, a little chain

poppin'

-You know, gamer -[William]

This is awesome.

We wanted you to feel really

good.

■■

[Jessica] We just wanted, like,

a cool textured wall

and wanted to do the gaming

lights

so you look really cool when

you're gaming.

Of course, after you do your

homework.

[Lizzy] That's right. That's

right, that's right.

And we wanted to make it so that

when this door's closed,

this all can feel like your

space in your room.

Look at all the storage.

[Jessica] We were trying to

figure out clever ways

to kind of utilize the space.

We put storage up here,

and you also have storage under

your bed.

[Lizzy] It lifts up.

[William] Oh, wow! That's so

smart.

[Lizzy] It's a game changer.

[Nakeya]

How do you feel?

[Jessica] I mean, did we do it

right?

Yeah, this is amazing.

[Nakeya laughs]

-That's awesome. -Oh, that's

really sweet.

■■

-Oh, my God! -Oh, my God!

Whoa!

[laughs]

■■

[Christian] Oh, my gosh.

Wow. It's so grown up in here.

[William] This is really, really

nice.

Oh, look at that!

[Nakeya] Oh, Christian, look!

A bunch of military stuff!

This is awesome!

You said you were a military

enthusiast.

So we were, like, how can we

make this space sophisticated?

Maybe something that just

inspires you,

like, you want to be in this

space.

[Lizzy] The paint color is a

vibe.

[Jessica] It's really

sophisticated, uniform.

[Lizzy] And it just feels like

it fits you.

We wanted to give you a little

texture back here

on your office desk space.

[Christian] Oh, I didn't notice

that.

[Lizzy] So it gives you a little

bit, kind of, like, a cool vibe

and plenty of storage in this

room.

[Jessica] Yeah.

[Lizzy]

■■

And you know, when you're an

identical twin,

sometimes you can feel like

people want to interchange you.

but your brother has his vibe,

you have yours.

you need a more calming

environment.

-[Lizzy] Mm-hmm. -[Jessica] And

more peace.

So we wanted to bring that to

you in this space.

I couldn't have done better

myself.

Ah! [laughs]

■■

All right. Well, we still got

more to do.

Let's go.

Nakeya, come on. Follow us.

[Jessica] Three, two, one

Oh, my goodness!

This is beautiful.

This is the same room?

[Jessica]

You have two sets of twins.

I'm about to keep it 100% real.

We know how hard both of you

work.

Okay? You deserved an upgrade.

-Okay? -Yes, I love it.

[Lizzy]

[Jessica]

[Nakeya]

Look in the corner.

Oh, what?! Oh, look!

■■

[William] Oh, my goodness. Okay.

[laughter]

[William] Okay.

Oh, my goodness.

[Nakeya] You guys have outdone

yourself.

I'm completely blown away.

-Shocked. -Yeah.

[Nakeya]

[William]

I can't wait to enjoy that new

space.

■■

[Jessica] All right, guys

We come bearing gifts!

This is our departing gifts

[Lizzy] From our lovely friends

at Honest.

We had so much fun designing

this space

-for you guys. -[Jessica] Yeah.

[Lizzy] And really trying to,

like,

bring out each personality.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you again and again and

again.

[Jessica] Do you want to take a

photo?

[William] Say cheese!

-All right. -All right.

-Yay! -Whoo!

[Jessica] Love this.

[both] All right, bye, you guys!

[Loopers] Bye!
