Rev And Justine Get Cookin'

REV RUN: Next on "Rev Run's Renovation"... This kitchen got to go. ...my wife, Justine, has big plans for a huge, open kitchen. But when it comes to construction... This can't be taken down. This is a setback. I can just feel the money moving. ...it's never that easy. Four...three...two... Run. This is Rev Run from Run-D.M.C. Welcome to our home. Come on in. I live in this house with my beautiful wife Justine. We haven't changed this house since we moved in. JUSTINE: I could just knock this off with my heel. Every time you're doing a renovation, it comes with a price. You know what you do like? Don't let me confuse you. This is a lazy Susan we're gonna be abusing. I like Joe! We've got the best architect. We got everything. JUSTINE: I'm like that hands-on type of woman. Oh! Oh, snap! My husband -- He's all talk. I am the foreman on this job. I'm in charge of the budget, and she's thinking of all this crazy stuff. I would like a rock wall. It's a castle bed and she can walk up one side and slide down the other. Pray for the Reverend. -- Captions by VITAC -- Closed Captions provided by Scripps Networks, LLC. Mi, get the cookie dough. So, Miley and I are gonna do a little baking -- some cookies. You think that's enough cookies? Yeah. The kitchen, to me, is like the heart of the home... We burned the cookies. ...and it's like our heart is broke. JUSTINE: Here's just Russ. It's burnt! So, maybe baking's not my mom's strongest suit. I'm actually full. I love you, though. Your cookies are always burnt, you know. It's not my fault. It's the oven. The oven is broke. As far as my kitchen's concerned, it still looks amazing. I designed my whole kitchen myself, but I know that it's time to renew. REV RUN: So, my wife thinks that we're gonna change the kitchen. I don't see the reason. Okay, so, we need to update our appliances. We'll probably make a few changes. This doesn't work anymore. This does not work. Well, I haven't used it in years. What do I know? Exactly. That can be fixed. This fridge is broken. It's leaking water. The leak can be fixed. Rickety. I did not do that. Definitely didn't do it by washing a dish. We'll modernize it, we'll fix it, we'll bring it up, but we're not changing this whole kitchen. Period. I designed this, by the way. REV RUN: It was supposed to turn. Hasn't turned yet. Look. Doesn't move. She had these ideas of everything being swivel-y. Never swiveled. I also designed this. JUSTINE: It does swivel! We've never put a piece of food on there and said, "Pass the potatoes, Diggy." We have never swiveled. You don't sit here. I would have never sat with my back to the world. Gangsters don't sit with their back to the world. Scared to death to not know what's going on in my life. Anyway... I sit here. I can see what's going on. Somebody coming at me, I'm like "Bam!" Somebody coming this way -- Bam! Somebody come in, try to ambush you, you're dead. Okay. So, Joey -- He's not too happy about changing the kitchen... The kitchen is fly. JUSTINE: ...but, it is time for change. And I know my husband. He's gonna come around. He's gonna bring it around town. We're here at Kuche-Cucina. Getting ready to take my husband inside the store even though I've been here before and kind of know what I want. REV RUN: So, this is what you're talking about? She's trying to convince me to get a new kitchen. I don't know if we need to spend that type of money. REV RUN: It's nice. But it's far away from what was on my mind. Whoa! AMIR: That's more like it, huh? This is crazy. Look. Well, this kitchen is designed and built by Pedini. This is incredible. JUSTINE: I knew Joey would love my idea once he saw it in person. REV RUN: It's beautiful! It definitely matches what I like. REV RUN: So this is from Italy? This is made in Italy. We'd have to have it shipped in? Is this big enough for our kitchen? You can get any size you want. We can stretch it. Amir said we need this one -- the curved one -- and we also need the L-shaped one. So, how could he say all this before I even came here? Oh, you gave him measurements before I was even here. Has this been going on? You knew. I love it. What can I tell you? I'm so happy. REV RUN: She tricked the trickster. I thought that I was coming to say, "No." I didn't imagine that it was something this fly, that would make me change my mind so quick. Pedini can make this high-gloss red, white top -- White. This stuff is crazy! Like, it's breathing. It's unbelievable. I'm impressed. That's right. Today's move-out day. The kitchen has to leave and we have to leave, because if there's no kitchen, there's no food. If there's no food, there's no happiness. I'm not going to talk to the camera anymore because I have to pack. Kitchen all. Okay, to tell the truth, I'm doing all this packing -- It's too much. I'm doing too much. Now, how am I supposed to do what I do when I'm packing crackers? I'm not a cracker packer. They're calling me a cracker packer, so they got me packing crackers. JUSTINE: Hey, Joe. Hey. Hi. What's happening? I'm getting ready for demolition. We got to make sure everything is cleaned out. Did we take everything out already? That's full of stuff. Sorry, Joe. Don't go in there! Don't go in there! It'll smell. Oh, you forgot to empty out the refrigerator. I want one of them icees. Throw me a grape one. REV RUN: We discovered that the refrigerator is full of stuff. Oh, snap! My icee matches your shirt. [ Crunching ] What you sad about? We should've had, like, a last supper here with the kids. It's a little moment of nostalgia going on for me. I started thinking about some of the songs I sang in this kitchen and hanging out with the family in this kitchen. It's a beautiful kitchen that has run its course. I love this kitchen, but this kitchen got to go. All right, Joe. Thanks, Joe. ...we shall return. See you. Okay, Justine. Keep in mind -- The floor, we're gonna salvage. All right. JOE: I guess that drain never worked. Butter knife, little fork. Never any money in here. What the hell? That's a steel post holding that up. I hope Joe knows about this. MAN: Joe, take a look at this. Got a steel beam. We're gonna have to call JR. JOE: There's nothing we can do with this column right now. We have to finish the demo, hope the kitchen-cabinet designer can work around it. The only problem is the cabinets are being made in Italy. So this could be a problem if he didn't allow for it. All right. Yes! Hey. Oh, my gosh. Did you put this up? Put that up? No. Is that an issue? This beam is structural. This can't be taken down? If we take it down, you'll have a ranch instead of a two-story. 'Cause the second floor will be down here on the first floor. I don't want a ranch. So, does it ruin the plan completely? Yes, because I had a new island going here. One going this way and one going this way. JUSTINE: Our new kitchen is based off of an open floor plan. There's, like, a stripper pole in the middle of the kitchen. We got to get ahold of Amir and JR, the architect, and make sure he understands that this column exists. We should have thought of this before we made plans. Joe, you should stay out of this one. They won't say that when it comes to the money, I bet. I'm over here with the money. Don't worry about it. Finish the kitchen. Luckily, the tile ran throughout. We have holes in our floor, and we'll have to get new flooring. This is what he's about to say. I can just feel the money moving. Joey doesn't like to spend money, but I'm gonna have to try and calm him down. Come on. Let's hold hands. [ Chuckles ] Okay. She's bringing me back in. This holding of hands -- This is it. This doesn't lead into later. Of course it leads into later. She got my mind on sex all of a sudden. You just said it doesn't lead... All right. Forget it. Let me get -- I'm sweating now. So, what can I say? I guess I got the magic touch. All right. Are y'all taking this table out? Yes, we're taking that out next. You know what's a funny thing about this? It never swiveled in its life. Maybe you could scratch on it. [ Beat boxes ] Knock this down and do not rebuild a new lazy Susan that we won't be using. Uh-oh -- I got rhymes. I got bars. A new lazy Susan that we won't be usin'. It's the return of the monotonous hotness, I rock this. You watch this. Regardless. I got this. All right. Knock it down. This is a lazy Susan we're gonna be abusing. There you go! Joe and Joe! I like Joe! Joe's the new rapper. Thanks, Joe. Getting ready to have a meeting with Amir, the designer of my kitchen, and JR, the architect. So, hopefully, we can come to some type of conclusion about that pole. AMIR: Our job is to come in and find a solution that will look attractive and not take away from the original design. Huh. The elephant in the middle of the room. This is not that bad. I think we can really create an interesting element here. Build it into a wall. Build it into it, and almost... So you're gonna have a wall butting right into the island. So it becomes an element that's part of the kitchen. Phew! JUSTINE: Our new kitchen plan is great. The biggest thing is that the island's going to be moved to include this structural column. But for the most part, we're still keeping this open-concept feel. JOE: Amir came over and dropped off these plans of the kitchen layout. One of the things we noticed immediately was his island now goes to the edge of the drop into the family room. So, the solution was to extend the deck beyond these two columns. If we can't find a matching tile, the other alternative would be to rip out all the tile in the kitchen and redo the floor. That'll turn out to be a major expense. We're gonna try to find some more tile that matches this. Find the tile! Maybe this is the tile. [ Shouts ] [ Screams ] JUSTINE: Wow. Hey, Joe. JOE: Hi, Justine. What's going on with this? Oh, um... We had a problem. In order to make the island work, we had to extend the floor up to the columns. Oh, my gosh, Joe. The good news is the cabinet will fit. Just the bad news is that now we have to also extend the tile. One of the possibilities was to remove the flooring in the kitchen, but that becomes a costly job. This is crazy, Joe. Your husband said he thought there was tile somewhere -- in a crawl space or in the basement. Yeah. I'll double-check. JUSTINE: So, now I got to go on a wild-goose chase to find this tile. I don't even know where I'm gonna start. Mm-hmm. We're gonna try to find some more tile that matches this. Daddy thinks we have some, but I don't know, so... Got a lot of stuff down here. All right, Mi-Mi, you got to help me now. This is popcorn. Crystal ball, find the tile! Not in there. Oh, maybe this is the tile. [ Shouts ] JUSTINE: In his younger age, Russy was into being a ventriloquist. This is so scary. [ Shouts ] His mouth is, like, coming out... Mama! It's okay. It's okay. Here, let's try to put him back in. I looked in the basement for this tile -- nothing. Oh, no! That puppet! [ Screams ] Mama! Sorry. I thought you wanted to play. Today, we're finally doing the kitchen floor. We couldn't match the tile perfectly, so what we decided to do was go with a sheet tile. It's got a little bit of the color of the floor originally, a little bit of the color of the glass that's going up. Oh, this is gonna look amazing when it's all said and done. Last pieces. This thing that's going in the house is about to blow my wife's mind. Ooh. Just making sure these dudes don't drop it. Pedini! I'm excited. We're about to do it. Kitchen dreams. Let's go. This is a monumental day -- that the cabinets are finally going in. We've been waiting. We're coming to the end. I'm excited, too. And this right here is the famous pole behind this wall. He asked me, "Is there anything behind this?" And I told him strongly, "No." Very strongly. You find a problem and you create something better out of it. Exactly -- Or, if God gives you tomato, you make tomato sauce! Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. Just saying. George Jefferson up in here. The countertop is one of the last things that goes in. Me and Russy just pulled up and I saw this big truck right in front of my door. JUSTINE: That's crazy. What is that? And this guy closes the door and won't let me in. Don't come in yet! They're just putting on the countertops right now. Mnh-mnh. I want to see! Don't leave me out here! This is not... Russy, let me in. Open it! Justine only has to wait one more day till her kitchen comes together. Hold on, mama. Oh, my gosh. I love this. Today is the final day that I see my dream kitchen. Joey and Russy have been trying to keep me out of here, but today is the day. The whole thing -- It looks gorgeous. Oh, my gosh. I love this. Everything looks beautiful. These have, like, a little sparkle inside. It's awesome. Now I just have to find my husband to see his face when he sees this kitchen. REV RUN: My wife's gonna come in there and make me feel bad that I didn't want to spend the money on this kitchen. JUSTINE: I'm gonna make some cookies. REV RUN: She's gonna walk in and kill me -- In front of the whole world. Joey? Come with me. I think she actually put this up to get me to be happy with what she did. I remember this was all rickety and beat up. Swag now. And -- Hello! Joey? Come on. It's nice. You win. It's amazing. I mean, what can I tell you? I just want to feel the love. I want to feel the confession that you love it. JUSTINE: I have been going through a lot -- my husband telling me "no" to this and "no" to that. I've already said that you did a good job. Now I want you to say it in my face. I have been put in my place. Miley! Russy! I love it! JUSTINE: For us, the kitchen is everything. We come in here, we talk, we joke around. It means a lot, so I'm happy everybody's gonna love it. REV RUN: The island is incredible. Look at the curve in this. I'm loving the microwave. I'm loving the modular-art wall. I'm loving the new table. Tables turn -- You live and learn. I made it. And look -- not one burn. Not one burn! She did that! Wow. These are actually good. Good job, Justine Simmons. The Rev is out. REV RUN: Looking back at renovating this kitchen, I've come to the conclusion that we all must be open. When I opened up to my wife's ideas about changing this kitchen, everything came together. The room is changed, but our love remains the same. God is love. Rev Run. I think -- I-I think I'm gonna be
