What happened on The Great Giveback with Melissa McCarthy and Jenna Perusich tonight?

On the series premiere of The Great Giveback with Melissa McCarthy and Jenna Perusich, Melissa and Jenna transformed the house of a pregnant war veteran.

The client complained that there was insufficient space in the kitchen to utilize the countertops. They also revealed that they wanted a coffee space in the kitchen. They also asked The Great Giveback with Melissa McCarthy and Jenna Perusich duo to change the ceiling light.

The client did not want to lose their relative, Papa Doug’s chairs and did not want to change the blue color of the walls too. The team took on the challenge of finishing the project in 6 weeks. After shifting their items to the storage unit, the team decided to remove the dark kitchen cabinets.

Melissa and Jenna decided to remove a big countertop wall from the living room. Jenna said,

"Its blocking the flow."

While they were not given permission to do so, the team decided to transform the house's guest bedroom into a nursery since it was the biggest room in the house. They also decided to add a mural on the wall.

There was a small kitchen entrance from the side room, but the team closed it and added space for cabinets instead. The duo decided to repaint the house with similar blue paint the house previously had. They decided to build an open pantry in the kitchen with blue walls and wooden cabinets.

Jenna and Melissa also built an office space with dark wood and added windows to the area. Jenna felt they should add a banquette, an electric fireplace, and new rugs to the living room. The team wanted to buy furniture the baby could "grow into."

James, an artist, helped the team with the portraits and the mural for the nursery. Melissa and Jenna found some furniture on the curbside, and with the help of their team, the duo built a crib and a diaper change space for the nursery. Melissa and Jenna went furniture shopping. Jenna said,

"You know some people go to the spa, get their nails done, we go furniture shopping."

The episode description reads,

"A pregnant war veteran and her fiancée are about to begin the next chapter of their lives with both a baby and wedding on the way. Melissa and Jenna help make room for this growing family with a stunning kitchen, living room and surprise nursery makeover!"
