  1. E1. The Surf 'N' Sport Basement

    Sep 5, 2015

    Steven and Joanna have a very usual request for their dark, dank basement - they want one half to be a sports-themed man cave, and the other half to be a family room with a surf theme. Paul rises to the challenge and creates a dual purpose space that perfectly captures a vintage sports feel and a Hawaiian surf shack.

  2. E2. The Pizza Oven Kitchen

    Sep 5, 2015

    Brian and Alison want an updated kitchen where they can entertain their large family, but don’t know where to start. Paul completely revamps their kitchen’s bad layout by building a massive central island ideal for cooking for big groups. The new kitchen even seamlessly blends a pizza oven with a Cape Cod feel. At the workshop, artist Tina drops by to see if Paul can build a multi-functional art station that she can use for group retreats. Paul delivers an artist station that’s a masterpiece itself.

  3. E3. The Sliding Stage Theatre

    Sep 12, 2015

    Warren and Mary Ann have a family full of performers and a basement that’s not worthy of an encore. Paul and his team turn the dark basement into a home theatre and performance space with a state-of-the-art sound system, massive projection screen and a moving stage! Paul gets a request at the shop to make a table to display a special rock collection. The team gets together and builds a beautiful dining table that reflects client Alia’s love of travel and elegantly displays her rock collection.

  4. E4. The Art Table Kitchen

    Sep 12, 2015

    Tiffany and Wayne have a cramped, cluttered kitchen that also functions as their young daughter’s art station, which leaves minimal space to make a big family meal. They also have a dining space with a large circular table taking up valuable real estate. Paul unites the two rooms by removing a wall and creates a stylish galley kitchen that’s worthy of Tiffany’s culinary creations. He also adds a built-in table with hidden storage for their daughter’s art supplies. The east coast visits Paul at the shop when clients Kim and Tommy ask for patio furniture with a distinctly nautical theme. Paul and the team take a boat apart and rebuild it as an outdoor furniture set that blows these clients away.

  5. E5. The Curved Glass Bathroom

    Sep 17, 2015

    Boedhi and Ferlin have a huge master bedroom with a tiny ensuite bathroom. They’d like a bathroom that feels like it’s in a luxurious hotel, but one that is personalized with a few subtle reminders from their native country Indonesia. Paul takes half of the unused space from the bedroom and creates a unified bedroom, dressing room and stunning bathroom. The bathroom includes a curved backlit glass etching that surrounds a large stand-alone tub, and the dressing room has a carved wooden dividing screen with a discreet Indonesian influence. At the shop, Joseph and Candida want a kitchen island bar that’s truly unique and Paul is just the man for the job. He uses fallen trees from the couple’s cottage to create an island bar with a live edge countertop and shelves made from birch trees. The end result is not only functional but is also a one-of-a-kind art piece.

  6. E6. The Big Beam Kitchen

    Sep 17, 2015

    This episode’s a special one for Paul. He’s done non-stop renovations for years on everyone else’s homes, but never on his own. His wife Janna has always wanted a new kitchen with a desk area where she can work. Paul decides to turn his attention home and gives Janna her dream kitchen that reflects her eclectic tastes. Speaking of eclectic tastes, parents Sarah and Mike want a very special bed and desk made for their son Liam as a surprise. Liam loves outer space so Paul decides to take the bed and desk to the final frontier and creates something that’s out of this world.
