And we're overhauling Judy and Benji's bathroom with some help from our friends at Sterling, a Kohler company. Judy and Benji have a lovely family with three young girls. When they moved into their current house, they spent a lot of effort designing the living areas, but they left their bathrooms very basic. - When we were building the house, this was the last place we put any money or any decisions into. - Yeah. - So, when I was picking the sink, the toilet, I literally told the contractor, just get the most afforable thing. - [Christiane] They want to update their master bathroom and their kids bathroom with a new look, and a whole lot of style and functionality, but without breaking the bank. - They want something very open, very simple. - Light, I'm used to like that light look. - But still have more of a different design. - [Benji] There is no design in here. - [Christiane] Judy and Benji gave me some great direction about what was important for them, and we're collaborating to bring their dream bathrooms to life. - You know me, I like that spa-like type of feel. So something that's just relaxing and I just don't get that feeling when I see our tub right now. - You just don't feel like you wanna spend a lot of time in here. - I wanna help them create something functional and very chic, but unexpected that will help them raise the design value of their home. - Our shower reminds me of the college dorm's showers. - Oh totally, totally. - So you know, you just have, the right amount of space where you just have to sit still and you can't really do much. - The shelving in here just is not functional. - I love how you bought this though, and it falls apart every time you shower. - My design plan needs to keep this growing family in mind. We want to accommodate their current and future needs, without compromising style or the home's resell value. - Yeah, the problem is, it's not as functional in here. Like there's a space for stuff, but it's like, awkward. So hopefully getting places where we can actually store everything properly. - We're gonna better utilize this space they have, and transform it to create beautiful new bathrooms that are so gorgeous, they're gonna wanna leave the doors open. Like any overhaul project, there are some challenges. Judy and Benji are a busy couple running successful daily YouTube channels, so we have a limited timeframe, when they can fit in a remodel. We need quick and easy solutions. And with three little girls, they need bathroom products that will be durable and easy to clean. The Sterling products that we'll be installing have great everyday style that really fits Benji and Judy's personality. Sterling delivers the quality and innovation you'd expect from Kohler, they're functional and stylish. And Sterling uses an innovative material called, Vikrell. Vikrell makes life easier. It won't chip, crack, or peel. It resists stains and scratches, and it wipes clean. The lightweight modular design makes installation quick and easy. You just snap together the tongue and groove construction, and install it directly onto the studs, without adhesive, and with minimal to no caulk. You can even get unique details, including shelving, tiles, and grout lines. Having gorgeous new bathrooms can be like having a spa in your own house. It's a great place to relax and unwind. I wanted to create a sanctuary for Judy. As the mother of three, she deserves it. Throughout the series, you can jump over to my YouTube channel to see all the tips and tricks I used to create these gorgeous bathrooms. And like usual we're gonna have all kinds of extras on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.
