00:00Hello?
00:05Hello, Retta. Do you still like scary houses?
00:09This was then a funeral home for five generations.
00:13Here?
00:14Here.
00:15Nope.
00:17Retta?
00:22Retta!
00:24Oh...
00:25We traveled across the country searching for the 15 scariest, most hauntingly horrible houses we could find.
00:38Okay, we're gonna go.
00:40The amount of scary I saw gave me the creeps.
00:43Take a treat.
00:44You wonder why you got ghosts?
00:46The heebie-jeebies.
00:48Did you see the fuzz? It was fuzzy.
00:50Goosebumps.
00:51I'm done with the attic.
00:52And afterlife anxiety.
00:54Do you go down there?
00:55Do you wanna go down there?
00:56No, I do not.
00:57No, no, no, no.
00:58Of those 15 houses, we've narrowed it down to five frightening finalists.
01:03In the eerie east, the rusty jail was a deteriorating prison with an inmate serving an afterlife sentence.
01:11This is Chester.
01:12My ghost.
01:13In the haunted heartland, the cave captain's crumbling murder mystery mansion was a dilapidated disaster with an abundance of apparitions.
01:23Within the home, there's exactly 10 people that died.
01:27What's going on in here?
01:29Gables over the graveyard in Appalachia was a mishmash house surrounded by supernatural and sometimes noisy neighbors.
01:38You guys are in the cemetery.
01:41Your kids see dead people.
01:43What is happening?
01:45In the monsters of the Midwest, the dead kitty condo was a spooky showcase with ghosts that got quite catty.
01:53You're welcome to open it, but Frank lives in there.
01:56Who's Frank?
01:57Frank is the one that scratches me sometimes.
01:59I'm sorry.
02:00And in the ghoulish Great Lakes, the portal of pushing spirits was a haunt jam-packed with over-eager house guests.
02:08It's going off the hook.
02:09It is going off the hook.
02:10That means there's a spirit here.
02:15Of these five finalists, only one was the total package, scary enough to win a renovation by Alison Victoria.
02:23And the scariest house in America is in?
02:30Okay, Alison's supposed to be here.
02:36That was a little scary.
02:41There's more where that came from.
02:43It's scariest house in America.
02:45You can keep the scares.
02:46And we are in a cemetery.
02:47Yeah, we are.
02:48Which means the scariest house in America is in?
02:51Belva, Pennsylvania!
03:09Gables Over the Graveyard is a house where the scares outside are a dead giveaway.
03:14It is a graveyard.
03:16Everybody always talked about the cemetery house as being haunted.
03:20It just gives you that chilling, eerie feeling.
03:23And the graveyard in the back is just the beginning of this horror show.
03:28Because once inside...
03:30That's Dexter.
03:31That's a room.
03:32Yeah, there were spiders that had mold on them.
03:34This old gatekeeper's house has a series of serious safety hazards.
03:38Oh, my God.
03:39If I fall through these stairs...
03:42End of episode.
03:43With confusing rooms that have startling surprises in every corner...
03:48They used the bathroom as a guillotine room when it was a literal haunted house.
03:52Holy cow.
03:54The final nail in the coffin?
03:56Our four-year-old now has a...
03:58An imaginary friend.
04:00He was telling me about the other little girl who lives here with the bow tie in her hair.
04:04And now, this deadly home is going to be given a new life.
04:13I'm gonna get a real stance here.
04:15A scare stance.
04:16Hi!
04:17Hi!
04:18You guys.
04:19Yes?
04:20We talked about the spiders.
04:22Yeah, they're a problem.
04:23Did you see the one...
04:24It's a robot?
04:25Do I have to smush it?
04:26Yes.
04:27I can smush it.
04:28I can see it first because, yikes.
04:30Do I need to get my shoe?
04:32The...
04:33God!
04:34How's it going?
04:37Hi!
04:38How are you?
04:39I'm good.
04:40Nice to meet you.
04:41Hi!
04:42I'm sorry.
04:43I'm sorry.
04:44I saw your karate moves.
04:46So, I don't know if you know what it means that if I'm arrived...
04:49Yeah, but it means that Kat and Ed, you have the scariest house in America!
04:54You have the scariest house in America!
04:57You did karate too!
05:00I'm easily scared.
05:01Did you see karate...
05:02This is exciting.
05:03This is so exciting!
05:04Yeah.
05:05Okay.
05:06This is the best Halloween house.
05:07Yeah.
05:08It's scary, creepy, eerie.
05:10What made you guys say yes?
05:11I like spooky old things.
05:12I like quiet.
05:13We're all very proud of it.
05:14Like, even though it's our house, it's scary.
05:17It's scary, creepy, eerie.
05:19What made you guys say yes?
05:21I like spooky old things.
05:23I like quiet.
05:24We're all very proud of it.
05:25Like, even though it's our house, it feels like Belfont's house.
05:28I love that.
05:29Well, then we'll make everyone proud.
05:31Yes.
05:32Okay.
05:33Well, we need to draw the eye away from that spooky yard.
05:36So, I'm gonna accentuate these exterior details with some fresh paint and completely revive the landscaping.
05:43We would love that.
05:44It's surrounded by death.
05:45Yeah.
05:46Let's bring it more to life.
05:47Yeah.
05:48All right.
05:49I want to see inside.
05:50You want to go again?
05:51Okay.
05:52No, I'm good.
05:53Also, heads up, the kids see dead people.
05:54Oh, okay.
05:55Well, that's great.
05:59All right.
06:00This is our house.
06:05This is the living room.
06:06It's so funny.
06:07The carpet's hiding most of the terribleness.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Ah, I see.
06:13I mean, I wonder how old those floors are.
06:151858.
06:16Those are original?
06:17Oh, no, they are original to the house.
06:18That's cool.
06:19I feel like we sand this down and you have a floor from the 1800s?
06:24That would be cool.
06:25I just had no idea how...
06:27Well, I can do that.
06:28Oh, you can do that.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Oh, cool.
06:31It's a perfect fit for me.
06:32I don't know where everyone around this house went, but I'm in heaven.
06:36What's the chimney for?
06:37It used to be an old wood stove that attached to the actual chimney.
06:42And then...
06:43Oh, but there's nothing in this.
06:44No.
06:45No.
06:46This isn't working.
06:47The doors are cool.
06:48We like them.
06:49They're just in a weird spot.
06:50Because this is, I'm assuming the depth on this.
06:54Okay, so this whole area is the depth.
06:57I didn't know if it went further back over here.
06:59But like, look at these old...
07:01Like all the like...
07:02I love these.
07:03The hardware, isn't it cool?
07:04So like to be able to take these, this old hardware, like this is the stuff I go and source.
07:09I love...
07:10Yeah, I love the old hardware.
07:11I love old.
07:12I always take the old and make it new by like infusing it with new life or bringing it to a new home.
07:19But we have this.
07:21So beautiful woodwork like this, like we need to be able to figure out where to use this.
07:24So are you cool with that?
07:25Yeah, please.
07:26Don't know where yet, but love it.
07:28But use it.
07:29I love the hardware.
07:30Yeah.
07:31I would love to keep the hardware.
07:32Okay.
07:33Refurbishing the wood floors is definitely going to liven it up.
07:37And also replacing the clunky old built-in for new ones will give this space a more open feel.
07:43With a new fireplace mantle and some fresh paint, the vibe of this room will completely change.
07:48I didn't even know that these things were possible.
07:49Yes.
07:50That's so cool.
07:51Everything's possible when it's not your money.
07:53Yeah, that's true.
07:54Isn't that fun?
07:55All right, let me see this kitchen.
07:57Wow.
08:01All right, the ceiling height is so dangerous.
08:05Totally.
08:06Ideally, we'd like to raise the ceiling.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Counters would be great.
08:10Counters, yeah.
08:11And Kat loves to cook.
08:12I love to cook.
08:13So you love to do all the things that you really can't do.
08:16You need a functional kitchen.
08:18So in addition to raising the ceilings and tiling the floor, I want to give you a beautiful
08:23new range and make this a dine-in kitchen that isn't a nightmare.
08:28Okay, let me see the rest.
08:30This is our favorite room.
08:31Of course this is your favorite room.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Because you have so much light.
08:35It's music and books and booze.
08:38You've got these on the wall.
08:39What is that about?
08:40I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with the orange warm family or blue.
08:45These are a good start.
08:47I would be really happy with this family.
08:53I would be super happy with that family.
08:55I mean, they're your colors.
08:56They're my colors, yes.
08:57I'm going to turn this into the ultimate library and den.
09:01So whether it's reading with the kids or having a drink at the end of the day, playing
09:04some music, this is going to become a beautiful, relaxing space where you won't even realize
09:09you're surrounded by headstones.
09:11I like this, all that.
09:12Okay.
09:13Let me see more.
09:14Where's the other part?
09:15Oh, you get to the over from up.
09:16Oh, yes.
09:17You have to go up and over.
09:18I want to see up and over.
09:19Let me see this.
09:20All right.
09:21Mind the stairs.
09:22They are rickety.
09:23This is so scary.
09:24They are also original to the house.
09:26Okay.
09:27That's your room.
09:28That's our room.
09:29So lots of steps.
09:31We have the balcony.
09:32It works.
09:33You can open those up.
09:34You can open those doors and...
09:35And stare at the cemetery.
09:36Yeah.
09:37What is this?
09:38Is this just decorative?
09:39No, these are closets.
09:40Watch this.
09:41The roof shingles.
09:43This is the old roof line?
09:45Yeah.
09:46That freaks me out.
09:47You cannot have a big, huge gaping hole over your head every night you go to sleep.
09:52So in addition to closing that up and refreshing the colors in here, I think we can turn those bizarre
09:57cabinets into something that's actually functional, like a custom headboard.
10:00Oh, that'd be cool.
10:01Right?
10:02Yeah.
10:03Okay.
10:04So bathroom.
10:05So this is...
10:06Oh.
10:07It's just all in the wrong spot.
10:09But just a tub.
10:10Yes.
10:11To shower, you have to go downstairs.
10:13Yeah.
10:14That's not good.
10:15So then what's on this side?
10:16That's the laundry room.
10:17Laundry room.
10:18Oh.
10:19Well, this is huge news for me.
10:21Oh, good.
10:22What I can do is move the wall back to give us some more square footage in the bathroom.
10:27We'll do all new tile, a beautiful wood double vanity.
10:30And with so much space, now we can fit the free standing tub and a shower.
10:36You're working on a whole other level than I am.
10:38Yes.
10:40This is the kids' room.
10:42Oh, God.
10:43Close it all the way.
10:44Huge.
10:45So two kids share this room.
10:47Yeah.
10:48But then this becomes playroom.
10:49Bedroom.
10:50Bedroom.
10:51Good space.
10:52Got it.
10:53This really is just, it's not laid out right.
10:54Mm-hmm.
10:55Along with a whole new layout, we can cover these creepy ceiling beams, add new shelving
11:00and paint, and really make this room child-friendly and not a place to be scared to sleep in.
11:04Okay.
11:05You're moving out.
11:06Okay, yeah.
11:07So you start packing.
11:08Okay.
11:09Sounds good.
11:10Let's do this.
11:11I'm excited for you.
11:12I've got a solid plan in place.
11:13So once we clear out all of their stuff, we can start fresh and bring this house back from
11:18the grave.
11:21Demo day.
11:22So imagine this opened up.
11:23Yeah.
11:24And now we have this laundry, bathroom combo, tons of opportunity.
11:33Although I don't know what we have until we kind of take the wall down, right?
11:37Are those gold?
11:38They're gold and black.
11:40I wore pearls.
11:41You did wear pearls.
11:42You did wear pearls.
11:43I've demoed way too much in my life.
11:47So I'm out.
11:48Who's in?
11:49I got you.
11:50This is your house.
11:51So you got it.
11:52I can tell you got the energy.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Wait.
11:56Oh.
11:57Okay.
11:58Your house is made out of toothpicks.
11:59Either that or you have superhuman strength.
12:00No, I do not.
12:01We'll just...
12:02The whole house is moving.
12:04I did not feel good about that.
12:11Okay.
12:12Whoa.
12:13That wall is way softer than I thought.
12:17It's like plaster and lath.
12:19What's lath?
12:20Lath is the horizontal, like, toothpicks.
12:24It's so much dust and dirt.
12:26Blech.
12:28Come on, Ed.
12:29Okay.
12:30Go.
12:31Kick the wall down.
12:33Okay.
12:34Okay.
12:35It's happening on the other side of this wall.
12:37Oh, my God.
12:38I'm happy with that for now.
12:39Yeah.
12:40Thank you so much.
12:41Doesn't that feel nice?
12:42It did.
12:43You both did a good job, but now we're bringing in the big guns.
12:45You guys are going to have an actual bathroom.
12:47Yeah, I'm so excited.
12:48With a shower.
12:49Upstairs.
12:50Yeah.
12:51We only have six weeks to transform this headstone horror movie to a house that will turn heads.
12:58But before we can actually get moving, we've got to figure out if the original floors can actually
13:03be salvaged and if we can raise that ceiling in the kitchen.
13:10Floor joists.
13:11Right there.
13:12So, we can't raise a ceiling at all.
13:16Almost every board has a crack in it.
13:18So, it's not going to be possible to seal it completely.
13:21So, if you're wanting, like, museum quality, then you're probably going to look at replacing the floor.
13:27You seeing what I'm seeing?
13:30That is some old tile.
13:31It could be asbestos.
13:33So, we've got to get lab tested?
13:36That takes what?
13:37At least a week.
13:39Hey, Allison.
13:40Hey, Ian.
13:42So, in the library area, we believe that there's asbestos tile.
13:48Really?
13:49So, we are going to get it tested.
13:50Okay.
13:51I'll wait to hear from you and then we'll go from there.
13:57Okay.
13:58So, I talked to Ian.
13:59I heard about the asbestos issue.
14:01We are in the clear.
14:02Okay.
14:03All the reports came back.
14:04No asbestos.
14:05Okay.
14:06We're going to do whatever we want with the floors, barring the condition of the wood.
14:09And I get it.
14:10Yeah.
14:11The wood is the wood.
14:12Mm-hmm.
14:13The gaps are the gaps.
14:14Here's the cool part.
14:15Cat and Ed, they love the history of this home.
14:18I want to keep it.
14:20I definitely don't want to keep that color.
14:23Can we play with some of the stains?
14:25We can.
14:26Let's try this and this one.
14:29Gosh, now I'm like, do I go lighter?
14:32Oh.
14:33That's the winner.
14:34This is the one.
14:36What's up, Tim?
14:38This looks like fun.
14:39We're going to talk built-ins.
14:41Tim and I worked together on the last house.
14:44He did the secret door.
14:46This looks amazing.
14:48He's going to imagineer what we can do in this room when it comes to woodworking.
14:53Like, I want this to be something.
14:55Yeah, I see a window seat, bookcases all around it, maybe some big dramatic detail to it.
15:00They're going to be shocked.
15:03These improvements for that lower level aren't the only shockers they're in store for.
15:07Upstairs, the crew is totally dismantling the kids' room to prepare for the new layout.
15:12And it's a dirty job.
15:14So it's a great time to escape the dust and do some shopping.
15:18The antique store.
15:20Store closing.
15:21Oh, dang.
15:22Can we go?
15:23You want to go?
15:24Yes.
15:25Hello.
15:26We're Mitch and Donna.
15:28If you need any help, let us know.
15:29Hi, Mitch and Donna.
15:30I love Beretta and Allison.
15:31We love antique.
15:32We do.
15:33And now you mean it when you say it.
15:39This is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
15:41Is this like, mother?
15:48You want to know who would appreciate this?
15:50Hmm?
15:51Them?
15:52No.
15:53No.
15:54Mitch, you're retiring.
15:55Do you appreciate Mitch?
15:56Of course I do.
15:57What are you going to wheel and deal on this bad boy?
15:59Take $100 off.
16:01$295.
16:02Rhett, great idea.
16:05The leg lamp was Rhett's idea.
16:07No, it wasn't.
16:10Look at this.
16:11Okay, so this would be right when you walk in the front door.
16:14Mm-hmm.
16:15There is the window.
16:17This will help hide the headstones.
16:20Add a mantle.
16:22This mantle.
16:23Paint it.
16:24I was going to say you paint it.
16:25Paint this.
16:26Have it be a fun color.
16:27This is a yes.
16:29So they want a bar.
16:31Could that be more perfect?
16:37Mitch?
16:38I would take $1,000 off of that.
16:42Mitch definitely made this day easier for me because she didn't have to haggle.
16:47Which honestly made it less fun for me.
16:56That is disturbing.
16:58That's a definite no.
17:00So, stained glass, mantle, bar, leg lamp.
17:05$3,605.
17:06$3,600.
17:09All right, you got it.
17:10$3,600.
17:11I can't not negotiate.
17:13You already negotiated.
17:14You know, he did the negotiating for himself.
17:18You never know what you're going to find.
17:20Thank God you picked this.
17:25For you.
17:29With our purchases done and progress happening inside,
17:32I'm going to go ahead and shift my focus to the outside's new color palette.
17:37Okay, I got a ton of paint colors that I think will be approved.
17:41So they're neutral enough.
17:42Uh-huh.
17:43Gina from the Bellefont Historic Landmark Society.
17:47She's going to come meet us before she comes.
17:49We're going to pick paints.
17:51So you have a base and then you have two trims.
17:53Okay.
17:54That's what they've done currently.
17:56I want to do something like this.
17:58I would say that one to the far right would be the base.
18:01Yes.
18:02And then we choose more accents.
18:05I just need to tape it up on the wall.
18:07Ooh.
18:08You like the vibe?
18:09I think the lighter color is going to let you see the burgundy more.
18:13And then we do the green as the trim.
18:16Yes.
18:17Okay.
18:18Time to let Gina decide.
18:20Oh God, I'm scared.
18:21She could show up and be like, no.
18:25Back to the drawing board.
18:26Hi, nice to meet you.
18:27Nice to meet you.
18:28I'm Allison.
18:29Hi, nice to meet you.
18:30Nice to meet you.
18:31So renovating old historic homes.
18:33Sure.
18:34Retta and I could be picking colors all day and you could be like, no thanks.
18:37No, right.
18:38So with the paint colors, Retta and I are thinking neutrals would be replacing the yellow.
18:45That burgundy brown would replace the current green gray.
18:50And then that pretty sagey green where that like salmon color is.
18:55Okay.
18:56So what do you think?
18:57Um.
19:06So with the paint colors, what do you think?
19:08Um, this house, it's a really nice blend of Gothic Revival and Folk Victorian.
19:18So this color palette looks like a great blend of the two historic styles.
19:24So we nailed it?
19:25Yeah, truly.
19:26You really did nail it.
19:27This is definitely approved per the historic district guidelines.
19:31I can't wait to see it.
19:33It feels good to know.
19:35Doesn't it?
19:36I mean, the choice has been made.
19:37All right.
19:38We'll make you proud.
19:39Hello.
19:40Hello, ladies.
19:41Hi.
19:42Welcome to the sauna.
19:43Because it's hot.
19:44Yes.
19:45This is the most gorgeous frame.
19:46Why, thank you.
19:47What's going in the middle?
19:48These, remember?
19:49This is the cabinet.
19:50The funky doors.
19:51The stupid doors in the main bedroom went nowhere.
19:54I just told Tim.
19:55I'm like, can you make a headboard out of it?
19:58Where did that come from?
20:00It couldn't be creepier.
20:01Okay.
20:02Okay.
20:03Okay.
20:04Let's go.
20:05Let's go.
20:06Let's go.
20:07Let's go.
20:08Let's go.
20:09Let's go.
20:10Let's go.
20:11Let's go.
20:12Let's go.
20:13Let's go.
20:14Let's go.
20:15Let's go.
20:16Let's go.
20:17Let's go.
20:18Let's go.
20:19Okay.
20:22Moving on.
20:23I mean, I like leaving at this stain.
20:25Or do we go with a bit of a contrast?
20:27Yeah.
20:28Walnut or something?
20:29Or espresso?
20:30Okay.
20:31Okay.
20:32Let's go see the kids room.
20:33Okay.
20:34Where it's hotter.
20:40Ian.
20:41Hi, Shane.
20:43I didn't pick a paint color up here, did I?
20:44No.
20:45Let's do that.
20:46That way I can match it with this and we can match the floor.
20:48Wait, was this from up here?
20:50Uh-uh.
20:51These were like crappy old beams and then we made new.
20:54This is a new one.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Okay.
20:57These are gorgeous.
20:58They look real and they're gonna look way better than what's there.
21:01So downstairs we saved all the floors.
21:03Okay.
21:04They were in such good condition.
21:05Whole second floor is like a mish-mash mess.
21:09And also it's the kids room.
21:11They're gonna be like tearing this up.
21:13Also there's giant holes in between.
21:14Yeah.
21:15So this is gonna be luxury vinyl and in the main bedroom.
21:18These are all options.
21:20I like this one.
21:21Yeah.
21:22Right?
21:23And then it comes down to paint.
21:25What if we go with something like this?
21:27I love this color.
21:28I can't believe we're doing green.
21:31Of course you know what color I want.
21:34Green?
21:35Yes.
21:36It's a blue green.
21:37Oh, right.
21:38Look at this.
21:39The kids room is playful.
21:42It's bold.
21:43It's gonna be green.
21:44Green.
21:45Green.
21:46Aquamarine.
21:47Green.
21:48Still has two E's.
21:49Green.
21:50Without the R.
21:51Wait.
21:52Did you say it still has two E's?
21:54Aquamarine.
21:55How do you spell it?
21:58It's the heat.
22:03It's the heat.
22:04While we have Tim in here, remember this wonky bookshelf that they have for the kids?
22:10You wanna make it?
22:11Sure, we can do it.
22:13Okay.
22:14While we're in here, let's knock out the electrical because I wanna go over.
22:17I see all of those outlets.
22:19I wanna just tell him like what we're gonna do.
22:22Okay.
22:23We'll go get them.
22:24Cool.
22:25Hello.
22:26Hey, how you guys doing?
22:27How are you?
22:28Good, good.
22:29Fantastic.
22:30Oh, Raleigh.
22:31Yes.
22:32Raleigh.
22:33I lived in North Carolina in Raleigh.
22:34Yup.
22:35I lived in Raleigh.
22:38That's something.
22:40You tell me, but these, all these like outlets that they had, they like plugged in just like
22:45a light bulb.
22:46That was like their only source of light because they had just these.
22:50So I don't need those anymore because I'm actually gonna make these lights.
22:53Okay.
22:54But again, that will be the only source of light.
22:57So if we dive those off, or is it easier to keep the outlets than kill them?
23:05Um, we can keep the outlets and-
23:07How do we hide them?
23:08Hide them in there?
23:09Uh, some type of like, you know, LED lighting strip or something.
23:12Oh, okay.
23:13You can change the color, multi-color lighting strips.
23:16Oh.
23:17Should we do that?
23:18Because you don't see them.
23:19Along the top of the-
23:20Yeah.
23:21So it like illuminates up if the kids want color.
23:23Yeah.
23:24That's a good idea.
23:25Yeah, if you feel like red today, make them red, blue, whatever you like.
23:30Oh, yes.
23:31Green and red.
23:32Yes.
23:33And this house gets decorated for the holidays.
23:34Yes.
23:35See all the cobwebs.
23:36I like that idea.
23:37So I would love it.
23:38And you're not going to see the LED strip lights, right?
23:40No.
23:41They'll be all tucked down the beams and everything.
23:42Awesome.
23:43You're not going to be able to see anything.
23:44I'm into that.
23:45Yup.
23:46Yeah.
23:47Done.
23:48That'll be a fun little surprise.
23:49Yeah, the kids are going to love it.
23:50Yeah.
23:51I'm going to go to the air conditioning now.
23:53Thanks, Tim.
23:54Sure.
23:55Okay, so now that we've got a plan, and it's in motion for those floors upstairs, and the
24:00floors downstairs starting to get underway, I'm going to shift all my focus and attention
24:04to making living in a cemetery a little less scary.
24:08New window trim's going to help, but Tim's built in for that living room might actually
24:13make it enjoyable to be in there.
24:15Look at this.
24:16I had a lot of fun with this one.
24:18Every time you look, there's something new to see.
24:20We've got the step columns.
24:21We've got the curved panel up top.
24:23Then we have two big bookcases on either side of it when it's standing upright.
24:27And then this is the windows here.
24:29I got a piece of stained glass, so that's going to hang in the window.
24:32Yeah.
24:33So you get in your little reading nook.
24:35It's so pretty.
24:36Now we just put paint on it.
24:38We're going to bring a little stain in on the seat.
24:40It's like a masterpiece.
24:42In the rest of the house, that former guillotine room slash bathroom is getting the bones
24:48of its new layout roughed in.
24:50And we're even prepping the carriage house for a new paint job that will match the main
24:55house.
24:56With under just three weeks left, we've got to lock in our design choices for the bathroom
25:01and the kitchen.
25:03Hi there.
25:04Hi, guys.
25:05Hey, how are you?
25:06How are you?
25:07What are you guys looking for today?
25:08We need cabinets, slabs, maybe some flooring.
25:13Okay.
25:14I have a kitchen designer back here.
25:15Oh, good.
25:16Let me take you back to her.
25:17Today is material shopping day.
25:19We've got to find a lot of things.
25:21Hi.
25:22Hi.
25:23Well, Tara, we brought some tile.
25:24Beautiful.
25:25But cabinetry.
25:26Yeah.
25:27We don't have a long lead time.
25:29Oh.
25:32Do we go with something like this?
25:35Or this one?
25:37So that's got more of a gray.
25:38It's kind of pretty.
25:39Mm-hmm.
25:40I think it matches the lighter one better.
25:42I like it.
25:43We also have a whole wall that gets tile.
25:47What do you think?
25:48This?
25:50Or...
25:53Kind of like the darker one.
25:54Done.
25:55So, kitchen, floor, backslash, main bath.
26:02You stay right there.
26:04Three samples is my maximum.
26:07After that, I'm like, uh-huh, sure.
26:09What?
26:10Yeah.
26:11Okay, I have a crazy thought.
26:12Oh, boy.
26:13I've never done a color like that in a bathroom.
26:15It's unique.
26:16I love it.
26:17And the floor?
26:18You do the whole floor in these massive penny rounds.
26:21But is this crazy?
26:23The bathroom, it's a risk.
26:25But also, it can't get worse than what they have.
26:31By the way, do you see a theme with her and I with our outfits?
26:34If you look at us separately and then together.
26:36Hunting.
26:37Hunting.
26:38Yeah.
26:39Mm.
26:40This is, like, hunting chic.
26:41Yeah, it is.
26:42Oh, yeah.
26:43She's the best.
26:46Hunting chic.
26:47Oh, my God.
26:48I just loved it.
26:50This is, she's the best.
26:52She's the best on the Hunter.
26:54I'm the best.
26:55It's actually not planned.
26:57Mm-hmm.
26:58But looks so good together.
27:01Done.
27:02And speaking of risks, I am taking a big one with what I've got planned for that old tub in the bathroom.
27:09Heard there's a doctor in the house?
27:11I'm Tom Lyons.
27:12Who are you, Tom?
27:13Tub surgeon.
27:14I'm fine.
27:15Tub surgeon.
27:16I like the name.
27:17Never met a tub surgeon.
27:19The tub fits perfectly, which is why I'm, like, fingers crossed we can salvage this.
27:24So we can save it.
27:25Oh, absolutely.
27:26Okay, good.
27:27I'm gonna chemically clean everything.
27:29Okay.
27:30I kind of want to go white interior, black exterior.
27:32Cold black and bright white.
27:34Get two good contrasts.
27:36So let's do that.
27:37Thanks, Doc.
27:38Yeah.
27:39Now we gotta figure out how the tub comes out of the house.
27:42The scary in this house never ceases to amaze me.
27:47But just like that bathtub, we're slowly removing all of it.
27:51And just as one problem goes away, something else scary comes up.
28:02Or it comes down.
28:03What the hell?
28:11Did it hurt the house?
28:22Did it hurt the house?
28:24Fortunately, it missed it.
28:26It was sideways rain last night.
28:28Yes.
28:29The tree only fell on the edge of the carrot top.
28:32Yeah.
28:33We lucked out.
28:34What do you think about the color?
28:35It's, like, way more muted, but I don't love the Eve.
28:40Eh, like, I feel like the two colors we picked that were the neutral are a little too...
28:45Too close.
28:46...matchy.
28:47Hey, guys.
28:48Hello.
28:49Hey.
28:50Can I change something?
28:51Which one are you changing?
28:52Um, the Eve color to be the same green.
28:56See the one you're doing on the little trim?
28:58Right.
28:59Do you want him to put some of the green on there?
29:00I would love it.
29:01Hey, Derek.
29:02Could you paint some of the green down here on this trim board?
29:04Or you could do it up there.
29:05Yes.
29:06That looks good.
29:07Ten times better.
29:08Or sorry.
29:09Good thing is that you only started this house.
29:11Even though a quick color correction is gonna do wonders in making that house beautiful,
29:16there's no changing the fact that it still sits on a scary cemetery.
29:20But I have a plan to lessen that fear factor.
29:23Hey.
29:24Hello.
29:25Thanks for coming.
29:26I'm Allison.
29:27Hey, Fred.
29:28Hey.
29:29Nice to meet you.
29:30Nice to meet you.
29:31So we figured this is like a really good time to go over landscape.
29:32I bet.
29:33So like, let's just clean all this area up if we can.
29:35That thing's been like sitting with water.
29:37Do you think we could get that back to working?
29:39I think so.
29:40Awesome.
29:41I think so.
29:42Okay.
29:43What else?
29:44Like back here.
29:45One thing I remember Kat saying was that she did not want that herb garden.
29:48Would you want to go out there and pick your salad?
29:50No.
29:51No.
29:52No.
29:53I'm not looking to eat like arugula out of a cemetery.
29:56Do we hedge this?
29:58I think we can make this a landscape bed, maybe plant something in here.
30:02Yes.
30:03Let's revive this.
30:04Not a whole lot of life in it.
30:05Right.
30:08So with the last minute color change and some necessary tree removal, this exterior is starting
30:16to make some headway.
30:18Inside, that death trap of the staircase is getting rebuilt.
30:22New electrical wiring is getting installed throughout the house.
30:25Next on the agenda, I've got to make sure all the design choices in the kitchen are actually
30:30going to work.
30:31Still low.
30:32Hey, who are you?
30:33Hey, I'm upstairs.
30:34I'm just looking over at the tile.
30:35Where are you?
30:36I'm in the kitchen.
30:37Oh, okay.
30:38I'll be back.
30:39I'll be back.
30:40I'll be back.
30:41Okay.
30:42Okay.
30:43Okay.
30:44You guys, the call was coming from inside the house.
30:58Gary?
30:59Jokes!
31:00I got em.
31:01Ooh!
31:02Pretty!
31:03I like it.
31:04Well, too.
31:05I like this tile.
31:06Yeah, you too.
31:07What um...
31:08I was like, why you sound like...
31:12Pretty.
31:13I like it.
31:14Me too.
31:15I like this tile.
31:16Yeah, me too.
31:17What, um, oh.
31:22I was like, why do you sound like?
31:25You're just not.
31:26You can't smile any.
31:27Yeah.
31:28I mean, you can take him out now.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Now they have cabinets.
31:32And there's even more going in here.
31:34Tim, can you come look at the stuff in here?
31:39Ah!
31:41Okay.
31:43Got you a little.
31:44Perfect.
31:45I'm getting a little.
31:46So, Tim, do you have the doors?
31:47I do.
31:48Let's pull those out.
31:49Sure.
31:50Then we can kind of, like, imagine what this wall is.
31:52So all of that will have cabinetry?
31:54Full, closed storage by using the old doors from the family room and having Tim work his
32:01magic and make something gorgeous here.
32:04We've fully hugged the kitchen and cabinetry and storage.
32:07We have the arched opening.
32:09It's just a little bigger, but it kind of makes up for the fact that we couldn't raise
32:13our ceilings.
32:14Oh, here.
32:15Look, by the way.
32:16Here's the tile.
32:20Okay, so this, oh, God, that's pretty.
32:22That is so pretty.
32:23So that will be that whole wall.
32:25Oh, okay.
32:26Uh-huh, because we don't have any space running back here.
32:28You can't put, there's no backsplash here?
32:30No, nothing?
32:31It's a slab splash, so it just goes up.
32:33Oh.
32:34Yeah, so for water.
32:35But this will be, this will be there.
32:38I gotta tell Ian that we're gonna do a brick set.
32:41Keep that traditional feel.
32:43Okay.
32:44And this home is very traditional.
32:45And then we could paint the door this color.
32:50Or we could paint it black.
32:52Which door?
32:53That one, the red.
32:54Oh, gotcha.
32:55Uh-huh.
32:56Maybe this.
32:57Keep it all neutral.
32:58All the trim.
32:59God, it's hot in here.
33:02Yeah.
33:03Okay.
33:04All right.
33:05Your teeth are on the floor.
33:06I got more teeth if you guys want them.
33:08God.
33:09Nobody wants them.
33:10Nobody wants them.
33:11We've got one week left, and every room is getting worked on.
33:16Flooring is going in upstairs, and the main bathroom is starting to take shape.
33:21Hi.
33:22Hello.
33:23Okay.
33:24It's very vibrant.
33:26Walking in was a little much for me.
33:29The good thing about this color is that they picked it.
33:32Which trim color would you like to see?
33:34Well, these are the original ones.
33:36This is what was on their wall, and I was like, ooh, let me take them.
33:39And they were like, okay, a designer said, okay.
33:42But now, I'm scared.
33:45This is too much.
33:46With this, it would have to be something darker, I think.
33:49That yellow would be insane.
33:50Insane.
33:51I just don't want to make this like a crayon box.
33:54It's overkill.
33:55It's too much.
33:56Do we say screw it and just do the trim?
34:00In the green?
34:01In this color.
34:02So, drench.
34:03Ceiling is going to stay white.
34:05It's a semi-drench.
34:06Drenching below the ceiling.
34:08Yeah.
34:09With one color.
34:10It's kind of like when I got a spray tan that one time.
34:13I didn't take my pants off.
34:15It's the opposite.
34:18Final answer.
34:19There it is.
34:20Okay.
34:21You got color and personality.
34:23We have an actual bar, and that creepy doll's not in the room.
34:30Okay.
34:31Can you see inside?
34:32Yes.
34:33Please.
34:34Oh, my God.
34:35Oh, my goodness.
34:37It is so hard to believe that in just 24 hours, Kat and Ed are coming home to see their brand new house.
34:44Let's start loading all these boxes out.
34:46All right.
34:47This is going to be fun.
34:48The amount of work that we need to get done today might actually be scarier than the renovation itself.
34:54I am missing a trim piece.
34:56Right here?
34:57It's just a massive hole.
34:58Massive hole.
34:59Yeah.
35:00So, let's fix that.
35:01Every single room in this house is still undergoing major transformations.
35:05Center, center, center, center, center, center, center.
35:07And every single detail needs to be perfect.
35:10Hell yes.
35:11From installing new lighting outside to putting back in that refurbished bathtub.
35:16A little higher.
35:17A little higher.
35:18And adding all the accessories that'll make each room stand out.
35:21And what is this?
35:22It's a mirror.
35:23It's a Santee.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:25This is gorgeous.
35:26Taking on such a horrifying house brings a whole new meaning to the word deadline.
35:32I love the tombstones.
35:34The tombstones?
35:35Well, in case the neighbors visit, you want them to feel at home.
35:41Okay.
35:42Remember these death stares?
35:44I do.
35:45Look how pretty the new treads are.
35:48Yeah.
35:49Tomorrow's the big reveal.
35:50Reveal day.
35:51From scariest to coolest.
35:54Coolest.
35:55Most colorful.
35:56It's not that colorful.
35:58Oh, I'm sorry.
35:59Yeah, exactly.
36:00That's right.
36:01I brought all the colors.
36:02I forgot.
36:03This is my favorite outfit of all time.
36:06I'm doing a space workout.
36:08It's the best.
36:10Tim, I'm so excited for this piece.
36:15Oh, the headboard.
36:16The headboard.
36:17Uh-huh.
36:18Yeah.
36:19Let's see the beauty.
36:22Oh, Tim.
36:23Wow.
36:24It's stunning.
36:27Talk about something that was a full eyesore.
36:31Right.
36:32This is the old roof line?
36:33Yeah.
36:34Oh, watch this.
36:35And those are the roof shingles from when they added the house.
36:40This was an extension, and they just kept the roof shingles.
36:45To make it into the most beautiful custom headboard.
36:49Just kind of embrace the weird and go with it.
36:51It's so cool.
36:52That's not just good.
36:53That's great.
36:54Okay.
36:55I want to go see the kids' room.
36:57Tim.
36:58Dang.
36:59You just took it to a whole new level.
37:01I do know you like your secrets and your hidden spaces.
37:04Oh, my God.
37:05And this cabin has a little secret of its own for you.
37:08Is it over here?
37:09Go around the side.
37:10Yeah.
37:11And just push the panels.
37:12Yeah.
37:13Shut up, Tim.
37:19This is really, really well done.
37:27This is a transformation.
37:29Amazing.
37:30This is the best kids' room I've ever seen.
37:32Okay.
37:33Let's go check on the outside.
37:42This feels, like, magical now.
37:44Yeah.
37:45I love it.
37:46I love that you did the hedging.
37:47Honestly, it's like, you know, we're surrounded by death.
37:50And this looks so alive.
37:52Oh, .
37:54Oh!
37:55My heel went between those planks, and I thought it was over for me.
38:00Fred did such an amazing job bringing that backyard back to life.
38:05But we still have work to do on that patio that I'm going to turn into an outdoor kitchen.
38:09So let's do that one in the middle, and this on the end.
38:12Mm?
38:13Awesome.
38:16This would be a cool area to scare us.
38:18If something pops out.
38:19Ha!
38:20Missed opportunities.
38:22Is, what, so what do you use for the, is it, is it gas, or do you put, like, a propane thing in there?
38:29God!
38:32It's funny, because I knew.
38:34God!
38:35Got me.
38:36But the first nothing beats the snake in the ceiling.
38:42What the ?
38:43Oh, God!
38:44Bye!
38:45Oh!
38:47That's good.
38:48Oh, that was funny.
38:49That's good.
38:50And with that last scare behind us, we finally turn this nightmare home into a dream dwelling for Kat and Ed's big day tomorrow.
39:00I was like, we're in a cemetery.
39:15Wait for this.
39:17Oh, you thought it was just the dress?
39:21Look at that.
39:22We're the only things that are morbid in here.
39:23Yeah.
39:24That and the headstone.
39:25That's in the corpses.
39:26But we are ready.
39:27Look what I saved us.
39:28This.
39:29Oh, what is this?
39:30That's our plaque.
39:31It was in the house when we got it, so.
39:32I love this.
39:33So we'll go put this in the front of the house and then we'll go meet them.
39:34I mean, this was more work than I wanted to do today.
39:40Finally.
39:41There it is.
39:42It's done.
39:43Look, it's a blindfolded.
39:44I wonder if they even know if they're in our house.
39:45Oh, what is this?
39:46Oh, what is this?
39:47That's our plaque.
39:48It was in the house when we got it, so.
39:49I love this.
39:50So we'll go put this in the front of the house and then we'll go meet them.
39:54I mean, this was more work than I wanted to do today.
39:59Finally.
40:00There it is.
40:01It's done.
40:07Look, it's blindfolded.
40:08I wonder if they even know if they're in a hearse.
40:14All right.
40:15We're going to help you out.
40:16Hi, guys.
40:17Okay, you guys.
40:18Take them off.
40:19A blindfold?
40:20Yes.
40:21Okay.
40:22Okay.
40:23This is a humongous transformation.
40:24I'm so excited.
40:25So are you ready?
40:26Yes.
40:27To see what once was the scariest house in America and now is the most magical, beautiful
40:31house in America.
40:32Yes.
40:33Okay.
40:34Uh-huh.
40:35Three, two, one.

40:47It's like perfectly brown.
40:48Yes.
40:49Oh, I love it.
40:55And the lights framing the gate.
40:57It looks so grand.
40:58Like an estate.
40:59Yes.
41:00Oh, I love it.
41:01Okay.
41:02You want to head in?
41:03Yeah.
41:04Come on.
41:05Right.

41:10Oh, it's so cute.
41:11I love it.

41:34Oh my gosh.
41:35Oh my gosh.
41:36Oh my gosh.
41:37Look at the little window seat.
41:38Yeah.
41:39The little stained glass window that we got at the antique store up down the street.
41:59Oh cool.
42:00You get a little bit of a color splash.
42:02Oh, look at all the bookshelf.
42:03This is amazing.
42:04Amazing.
42:05Oh my God.
42:06I want to read this so bad.
42:07This is so cool.
42:08Look at the tombstone detail.
42:09Oh, that's cool.
42:10That's so cool.
42:11That's neat.
42:12You didn't have lighting in here, so we added this center fixture to give you beautiful
42:17light at night.
42:18Your sconces.
42:19Look at those.
42:20Oh, we have sconces.
42:21I know.
42:22Look at the stairs too.
42:24Oh my God.
42:25Now they're not a dead trap.
42:27Is this our floor?
42:29Look how beautiful it is.
42:30Oh my goodness.
42:31Oh my God.
42:32I didn't know that that would do that.
42:33It did it.
42:34Beautiful.
42:35It did it.
42:36It did it.
42:37That's so cool.
42:38It feels magical instead of completely and totally creepy.
42:41Yeah.
42:42Yeah.
42:43Go into your next room.

42:51Oh my God.
42:52Oh, what is that?

42:54It's a whole bar.
42:55The stained glass had the same color as the wall that we did behind it.
43:07And the turquoise colors throughout.
43:08I love the pink color.
43:09Just moving things in the right spot.
43:11This becomes the hangout.
43:13Oh, it's so cool.
