- It's been a while, friends,
0:01
since I took y'all to Dogwood.
0:04
So, Eddie and I gon' ride over there
0:07
and see if there's anything new
0:09
that we can show y'all.
0:11
I almost feel like I can see the light
0:13
at the end of that big old tunnel.
0:18
And you know, we just hoping it ain't the train.
0:20
(laughing)
0:22
Okay. We're here, y'all.
0:26
I mean, the yards look terrible.
0:30
(laughing) These things, what are those things called?
0:32
Eddie, those trash things?
0:33
- [Eddie] Our nice, big ol' dumpster in our front yard.
0:34
- Dumpster, yes.
0:36
And look at all the stuff we have no garage space to put.
0:41
But so y'all, overlook all that.
0:43
Because one day,
0:44
oh, I do want to show you, Eddie,
0:49
I had the pleasure
0:51
of my family and I shootin' a 4th of July special
0:55
and we shot it here at Michael's outdoor kitchen
0:59
and it looked so bad back there.
1:03
But come on Eddie,
1:05
but you said something about visualize something.
1:08
What were you talking about? - [Eddie] Okay. I want you to,
1:11
- [Paula] Uh huh.
1:12
- [Eddie] We're going with the Charleston green
1:14
- [Paula] Yes.
1:15
- [Both Simultaneously] For the shutters.
1:17
- [Eddie] And I know you want the front door that too,
1:20
but how about if we did it
1:24
the shade of the front door,
1:26
like the shade of the roof,
1:28
that kind of blue, aqua green color,
1:32
make your door pop and all that.
1:34
- [Paula] Hey Mikey!
1:37
You know, I would think about that, Eddie.
1:40
I would think about it.
1:43
- [Eddie] Here comes Gus!
1:44
- [Paula] Oh my gracious!
1:47
Oh, my babies! I have missed y'all.
1:51
I have missed y'all so bad. (laughing)
1:55
Oh, you know.
1:58
(laughing)
2:00
Oh, I love y'all. I love y'all. I love y'all.
2:04
I don't know if y'all know this,
2:06
but Gus and Max are living with Eddie
2:10
and Eddie lives in this apartment up here over the garage.
2:15
And Lulu lives with me.
2:17
Mikey, Mikey, what's up baby?
2:25
Oh my goodness. They surprised me.
2:29
- [Eddie] Usually Gus picks up on when the car comes in.
2:33
- So Eddie and Mike really got in here, y'all,
2:37
and rolled up their sleeves
2:40
and made things happen back here.
2:44
It's going to be on camera.
2:47
You know, before we had wooden steps,
2:51
but we decided to change those to brick.
2:54
And I love that it kind of anchors the house.
2:57
- [Eddie] Yes. And we are definitely getting railings
3:02
on all of the brick stairs.
3:03
No one has to worry about that yet.
3:05
- [Paula] Well, I have to hold on to Eddie's shirt,
3:08
when I go up and down 'em.
3:10
But look, Eddie and Mike started right here,
3:14
cleaning out these flower beds
3:17
and Eddie and I went to the nursery
3:21
and just picked up
3:22
all these beautiful little colorful plants to plant out here
3:29
and this, it used to be my bird's room
3:34
where Ladybird lived and Dixie.
3:38
But since they're both gone,
3:41
that's going to be mine and Eddie's hobby room.
3:44
That's where we're going to paint and chill
3:46
and do stuff like that.
3:51
Alright.
3:54
Now, all this is original to the house
4:01
and the man just cleaned out that bed
4:04
and put these oakleaf hydrangeas.
4:08
Set in there because they get pretty big.
4:12
And oh look, Eddie!
4:14
This is, remind me one more time.
4:18
- [Eddie] This is passion fruit.
4:19
- [Paula] Passion fruit.
4:21
- [Eddie] They opened up overnight.
4:22
- [Paula] They have opened up!
4:25
- [Eddie] Can't wait to see what happens.
4:27
- [Paula] This is like that clematis or something like that.
4:29
- [Eddie] Yeah. Uh huh. - [Paula] Did I say it right?
4:32
- [Eddie] Yep.
4:33
- [Paula] It reminds me of another word.
4:35
So I get them mixed up.
4:36
- [Eddie] Yep. And you make me nervous.
4:37
- [Paula] (laughing) I make you nervous?
4:39
(laughing) I make my own self nervous, Eddie.
4:45
Alright. So, all of this was just
4:51
just, I don't know what it was.
4:52
I don't even remember.
4:54
- [Eddie] There was nothing. There was nothing in that.
4:55
- [Paula] Yeah. There was nothing.
4:57
There was nothing here.
4:58
And Eddie and Mike made it so beautiful.
5:04
So beautiful.
5:06
So when we shot the special,
5:09
you never knew
5:12
that the rest of the house looked like this.
5:19
Gus.
5:22
Gussy buddy.
5:23
And tell everybody, Eddie,
5:27
again
5:28
this, too, is a form of hydrangea?
5:31
- [Eddie] This is a limelight hydrangea.
5:34
- [Paula] A limelight.
5:35
Now this doesn't get as big as the oakleaf, right?
5:38
- [Eddie] Right, no, these will.
5:39
These are just like regular hydrangea.
5:42
and then we've got some nantucket blues
5:45
- [Paula] Now where's the nantucket blues?
5:47
- [Eddie] Right there in the middle.
5:48
- [Paula] So, it's kind of a big one.
5:49
- [Eddie] They're in the middle of each cluster we put.
5:52
And then you loved the fern,
5:54
so we put in some Queensland fern
5:57
that will spread in the area.
6:00
- I love, love, love ferns.
6:03
I especially love wild ferns.
6:06
You walk in the woods
6:07
and you just these wild, beautiful ferns everywhere.
6:14
I think we need to get a hammock
6:16
- [Eddie] To go between those trees?
6:17
- [Paula] To go between those two trees.
6:19
Don't y'all?
6:19
- [Eddie] Yeah.
6:21
You just have to hope you don't roll over
6:23
and fall into the creek.
6:25
- (laughing) We can make that Mikey's bedroom.
6:27
- [Both simultaneously] (laughing)
6:30
- Okay. Well,
6:31
the painters,
6:34
the painters are supposed to be
6:38
Eddie fusses at me when I pull up weeds
6:40
and just leave them there
6:41
so they can reroot and go another place.
6:44
What's on your head?
6:47
Excuse me. But it was a bug. (laughing)
6:50
So,
6:54
it's not a lot going on,
6:55
is it, Mike?
6:56
- [Mike] Just the painters today.
6:58
- Like every other day, right?
7:00
- [Eddie] Well, there's a lot of painting to be done.
7:02
- Yes. It is. It is a lot of painting.
7:04
But they're completely through with the upstairs,
7:06
aren't they?
7:07
- [Eddie] Nope.
7:08
They still got one more coat on everything to do.
7:09
- [Paula] Oh God.
7:11
So. (laughing)
7:14
I'm kind of shaky on this side of the house, y'all.
7:17
This used to be really beautiful over here.
7:20
But I see that Eddie and Mike
7:25
have got this coming back.
7:26
There used to be an archway hanging up here
7:29
with climbing roses.
7:30
And it was really beautiful.
7:36
It was nice. Maybe not beautiful.
7:38
But it is on its way to being beautiful.
7:44
- [Eddie] This kinda reminds me of a downtown square.
7:46
- [Paula] It does. It's like some of the private squares
7:49
that you never get to see.
7:52
But they're definitely there.
7:58
And I remember
8:01
when my precious Bubba got married
8:04
for the second time.
8:06
We did it here and we emptied out the water,
8:12
filled it full of ice
8:15
and covered it with raw oysters
8:19
and people would come over here
8:21
and just stand and crack the oysters
8:23
and eat 'em and talk
8:25
and just have a good time.
8:30
Sweet memories.
8:33
- [Eddie] We're going to put some koi fish in there.
8:34
- [Paula] The flowers lasted longer
8:35
than the marriage, Eddie.
8:39
But that's all right.
8:40
It was a wonderful experience for us all.
8:45
We got to go get our fish and put in here.
8:48
I'm not putting in koi
8:50
because the critters out here
8:54
they just eat stuff like that.
8:56
So I'm just going to put some cheap little goldfish
9:00
and hopefully watch them grow.
9:03
- [Eddie] Yeah, they got pretty big in the last little pond.
9:07
- Yeah. In the last little pond. Yes.
9:10
But those koi get so big, and oh my goodness.
9:13
Those birds can spot a koi and they go in for the kill.
9:20
And I tell y'all what, I have missed my chicken so bad.
9:26
But Eddie and I've been talking along with Michael.
9:32
Now this is our pump house.
9:34
This is, we had a jacuzzi
9:38
here when we first built the house, it's gone.
9:43
But we're gonna rig up
9:46
some kind of chicken coop
9:50
coming off of the pump house.
9:54
- [Eddie] Yeah. I mean, it's a great little structure.
9:58
- Yeah.
10:00
So, I'm counting on Eddie to kind of draw me up,
10:04
I don't have to tell y'all that Eddie can do anything.
10:06
Right. Did I ever tell y'all that?
10:10
So, I'm kind of waiting on him
10:12
to kind of sketch me what he's got in his head.
10:19
There's a lot of plants that have got that,
10:22
but y'all got all this cleaned out, Eddie.
10:24
- [Eddie] Yeah.
10:25
- [Paula] I think this is wonderful.
10:26
- [Eddie] I think this is gonna maybe become grass.
10:28
- [Paula] And we're gonna reclaim this
10:30
and make it more part of the yard, right?
10:32
- [Eddie] Yes.
10:34
- [Paula] Okay. Well, let's go in, y'all.
10:36
The painters are the only people here working today.
10:41
Is that a worm?
10:43
- [Eddie] Nope. Stick.
10:45
- [Paula] (laughing)
10:46
We'd really love to paint our porch ceilings
10:51
like it's a continuation of the sky.
10:56
A soft sky blue.
10:59
In fact, I think I'm going to put that color on the ceiling,
11:04
off my bedroom.
11:05
Off of our bedroom.
11:07
- [Eddie] In the sitting room.
11:09
- [Paula] Yes.
11:11
¡Hola!
11:13
¿Cómo estás?
11:21
Y'all, this is so different from our last house
11:26
but actually our last house,
11:28
I didn't think there was very much to it.
11:33
'Cause I was on the road, I was never here.
11:36
So, other things were being decided for me.
11:43
So, I have been able to be
11:45
heavily, heavily involved in this project.
11:50
And I want everything white.
11:53
Everything white.
11:54
Even our furniture, but it's kind of an off-white,
11:57
right, Eddie?
11:59
Kind of a dirty white or is it white?
12:02
- [Eddie] No. It's kind of a cool white.
12:05
- [Paula] So, you know, I said
12:10
(laughs)
12:11
I wanted to redecorate
12:13
but I may be getting a new pillow.
12:17
I don't want to have to get new furniture.
12:21
Just give me a new throw and a new pillow,
12:23
and I'll feel like I've got a new setting.
12:28
But this is our island.
12:34
And Steve had to take all of our cabinets out
12:40
because I had them faux painted
12:44
and you couldn't this type of paint over the faux painting.
12:50
So he had to take all of these cabinets out,
12:53
take 'em to his shop and strip 'em all.
12:57
Which was a job.
12:58
And you know, you can see where that archway is,
13:02
well, it's not an archway, but the opening
13:05
that used to be part of the porch.
13:08
but I wanted a bigger eating space
13:11
because our family has grown so
13:14
since Michael and I built this house.
13:16
So we've knocked down that wall
13:20
and went into the porch
13:24
and we did the same thing in the living room
13:28
because when we all get together,
13:29
I think it's like 24.
13:31
I really hadn't counted. Have you counted, Eddie?
13:34
- [Eddie] I think that was about when we want on vacation.
13:37
- Yeah. We just got back from vacation, y'all, last week.
13:41
Miracle, a miracle.
13:44
But we managed to get every one of our children
13:49
and grandchildren under the same roof.
13:53
I couldn't believe we actually pulled it off.
13:56
Alright, so this room ended right here
14:03
and the porch was like a U shape.
14:09
This is where we had our outdoor table for eating.
14:15
So the porch is a lot smaller,
14:18
but I just feel like we need more inside
14:22
than we do on the outside.
14:24
So let's come and see
14:25
if the painters have started putting up color yet.
14:32
We've had new wood floors put in
14:34
and the wood floors are just beautiful.
14:40
No color yet, Eddie.
14:45
And I sure did want to show y'all,
14:46
'cause I've kind of stressed a little bit
14:51
over what color that should go here.
14:55
but I have to say this
14:57
well, there's color upstairs
14:59
but there's really no color down, here except for this room.
15:04
- [Eddie] Well,
15:05
your upholstery stuff is going to have color.
15:08
- Yeah. Will have color.
15:13
Alright, let's see.
15:16
This was the little outdoor area where the Jacuzzi sat
15:21
and it was strange.
15:24
It had a fireplace, a working fireplace.
15:28
And so, I really wanted to kind of recreate
15:34
my Riverbend bathroom here at Dogwood.
15:38
So, you can see our sofa and everything will be here.
15:43
And this is probably where we'll spend most of our time
15:46
and then our bathroom.
15:49
And we put down a pretty great flat
15:54
but I'll be bringing y'all back.
15:58
It looks like they're almost done with our bathrooms.
16:03
And that was the toilet closet.
16:06
And this was our shower.
16:08
And because the toilet room was bigger,
16:12
we flipped them.
16:13
So that's going to be our shower
16:15
and this is going to be the toilet closet.
16:19
And again, to me,
16:20
the best part about Riverbend
16:23
was our bathroom and our closet.
16:26
And that's what I wanted to recreate.
16:30
So this is our closet.
16:33
And our laundry room right here.
16:37
And very soon
16:41
the people will be here to install a dry cleaning rack.
16:46
'Cause when you've got tall ceilings,
16:48
you've got to figure out a way to use that
16:53
and make it functional.
16:54
So that's what we're doing here.
16:58
So no color today.
17:02
You ready to go, Eddie?
17:04
- [Eddie] Ready.
17:05
- I think we got some cooking to do.
17:07
I love you boys. I love you boys so much.
17:12
And I love you, little girl.
17:16
I love you, little girl.
17:19
You're not going to be able to,
17:21
yeah, you can kind of see it.
17:23
The young man that's doing our floors suggested
17:30
- [Eddie] A herringbone pattern.
17:32
- [Paula] A herringbone pattern for the foyer.
17:35
And I've talked with Eddie about it.
17:37
And we decided, yes.
17:39
And it will kind of separate the foyer from the living area.
17:45
And of course, my antique doors fit up here perfectly
17:51
and it's going to be real pretty,
17:53
but the rest of the house
17:54
is a traditional straight board.
17:59
But I do love this herringbone pattern
18:04
and they should be back very, very soon.
18:07
As soon as the painters are done.
18:09
They'll be back to sand the floors and then stain 'em
18:12
and put their final finish on 'em.
18:16
Where is your brother and your sister?
18:20
Come on, 'yall. Come on, Gus. Come on, Lulu. Let's go!
18:27
Let's go!
