  Speaker 1: Honest Reservations. I was trying to He's actually trying to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: lock down.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: He's reserving the time to sit down and watch the show.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Down your kids, All right, let me get this again.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: This is Honest Renovations. Reservation were something going on in
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: my mind. It's on the Roku channel. How'd y'all get
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: into the the reno game here, not the reservation game,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the renovation game.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I've always loved interior design, and since I was really young,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I was just always inspired by just making spaces beautiful.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: And when during COVID, Lizzie and I we just renovated
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and updated and made over many spaces from like we
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: sort of like created a content studio, so we had
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to renovate that whole space, and then we did my parents' house,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: two houses for them, and we were, yeah, we were
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: really inspired by just how dramatic a makeover or a
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: renovation can be, just with like paint and new furniture
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and changing out the color palette and giving really functional organization,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: organization and design.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So we were like, gosh.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: This would be cool to do a show where we
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: could just have fun, hangout and like help people.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And You're right, the examples you just gave don't really
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: cost a lot of money and they can make a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: huge difference. I'm sure people are learning a lot. How
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: do you find the home projects for the series.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Well, we cast the show, so we really like put
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of time into casting and making sure that
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the families that we're choosing not only are really going
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: through transitions, but transitions that are relatable to a lot
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of families. That's going to be a really big point
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: for us. And so once we lock that in, then
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: we're able to go. And the first time we see
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the house in live and in person is the same
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: of what you're seeing us see. So we're making decisions
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and kind of like looking at it, you know, in real.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Time, real time on the show.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So we make sure that we cast the families.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I mean that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I would say that's probably the biggest part and probably
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the biggest differentiator in our show as a renovation show
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: versus others, is we really make it about the families
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and you really feel connected to their stories and so
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: it's heartwarming, it's tender. But then you have the comedy
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: of just Lizzie and I. We crack on each other,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: we're real friends, we have a good time, we're silly,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and so you get the mix of that in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: show and then of course a really satisfying before and after.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: That's fun. What a fun show?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And when do you make the reservations later after we
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: wrapped the show, have a couple of margarita.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite part of the house to renovate.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Is it always the kitchen or I love kitchens for
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: me the kitchen too, because I'd just be kicking in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the kitchen all day.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: The kitchen for me is always the heart of the home.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: But it's also like where I find my piece in
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: my column. So I'm like, if I can give that
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to somebody else, I'm all about renovating that kitchen.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I love the kids' rooms.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Those are my favorites, just because you know, like you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: really kind of bringing a fantasy to life. Yeah, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it's really fun because we could dream a little bit more.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: We can do take a little bit more risks with kids.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of fun with the kids.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more whimsy.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine too. Sure you can personalize it and all that. Yeah,
