00:00 - Ty, what's the best thing about the show?
00:02 - Is it supposed to be design related or anything?
00:05 - Anything.
00:05 - Ooh.
00:06 (laughing)
00:07 - Get ready to crush.
00:08 Do we need to get the tissues out?
00:09 (laughing)
00:10 We need a tissue box.
00:10 (upbeat music)
00:13 - Anthony, our fantastic DIY maker.
00:18 If I wanna make a custom, if we wanna make it special,
00:21 if we want our homeowners to feel like this is us,
00:23 he's my man.
00:25 - Zara!
00:26 (laughing)
00:27 - Laura is our contractor extraordinaire.
00:30 I mean, literally at the last minute and always,
00:33 but she comes through every time
00:35 and introduces me to new things.
00:36 I'm kinda with it.
00:37 And Kai is right hand, left hand, hip, I don't know, rib.
00:41 I mean, we kinda married, you know what I mean?
00:43 Just a designer with an amazing eye
00:45 but knows everything technical.
00:47 And I'm MSB.
00:49 I don't know.
00:50 I just lead this crazy group.
00:51 That's it.
00:52 (laughing)
00:53 - The best thing about Michelle is his spirit.
00:56 And I say that because Michelle always feels like home.
01:00 He doesn't just create spaces that are beautiful
01:02 that become people's homes,
01:03 but he will always welcome you and love on you
01:06 and support you and listen to you.
01:08 So his spirit just always makes me feel like I'm home.
01:11 - I also feed you.
01:14 - True.
01:15 (laughing)
01:18 - I think the best thing about the team
01:20 that I get the opportunity to work with quite often
01:22 is that they're all like bosses.
01:24 Like everybody's showing here the representation
01:27 not just of like their creativity,
01:29 but like their business and their business acumen.
01:32 And it's just really encouraging daily.
01:34 Like, you know, I feel like iron sharpens iron.
01:37 So that's what comes out of this beautiful ensemble
01:40 of craziness daily.
01:42 - These products have been pretty big,
01:44 but I think what's been unique is having to, you know,
01:47 come up with cost saving things to make us, you know,
01:49 expand and be able to do more.
01:51 And so we've had to be creative with that.
01:53 But in addition to that, I think what's been different is,
01:56 you know, Michelle's brought some design things
01:58 that I've never done.
01:59 And at first, you know, I'm always like,
02:00 all right, yeah, that's gonna look amazing.
02:02 Not.
02:03 And then I see it and I'm like, okay,
02:05 this looks really good.
02:07 - You're getting big girl.
02:08 - I know.
02:09 - You gotta eat a lot of it.
02:10 - I know.
02:10 - See these bags.
02:11 - I don't miss a minute.
02:13 - No, but seriously, he's pushed, you know,
02:15 the limits on some things where I'm like,
02:16 I don't even know how I'm gonna do that,
02:17 but it's just made me better.
02:19 And, you know, he's pushed me to do some stuff
02:21 that I didn't think was gonna work out,
02:22 but they ended up being amazing.
02:23 - So you're impressed.
02:24 - I am impressed.
02:25 - Don't you like that though?
02:27 Like your teammates impress you with what they do.
02:30 So it makes us all pull up, right?
02:32 And wanna deliver even more.
02:33 I mean, obviously the clients are our number one motivation,
02:36 but on the interior of our team,
02:37 if one of us is doing something amazing,
02:40 it only makes me wanna be better.
02:41 - Right.
02:42 - For sure.
