Celebrity IOU Season 4 Epsiode 1 recap
Tiffany told viewers that Selena Martin, her best friend of 20 years gave her a place to sleep when she had nowhere else to go after her divorce. The duo met on the first day of 7th grade.
The property brothers noticed right away that the house was very open and just needed a redocoration. The two felt that the carpeting and railing of the home needed to change. There was a long distance between the fireplace and the TV.
The bathroom had very little ventilation. They decided to change the tiles of the fireplace and the home needed a better kitchen as Tiffany revealed that:
"She (Selena) loves cooking, she loves making something creative."
Tiffany helped the brothers during the demolition process. The duo started renovating the home by first changing the staircase railing from a basic steel framework to a well-coated black staircase.
Tiffany helped decide the tile colors and the entire outlook of the home. She chose white stone for the fireplace and a skin-colored tile instead of wood as it won't need redecoration for a very long time. She also joked about putting a wine cellar in the bathroom.
Drew and Jonathan Scott chose to close the kitchen's main window and relocated the cabinets all over that one wall. The duo also added a classic dining room on the left side of the kitchen.
The property brothers transformed the entire outlook of the home in 4 weeks, while Selena stayed at Tiffany's home. The property brothers changed Selena's home from an open house to a family-friendly retreat.
Tiffany said,
"My friend deserves the best"
Selena loved the makeover. She liked the fireplace and the new family photos which were hung on the walls.
She said that it was
"A completely different house. The kitchen blew away my mind."
Fans can watch the next episode of Celebrity IOU on April 25 on HGTV at 9:00PM ET. The episode will feature Howie Mandel who will surprise his best friend and road manager of 30 years by transforming his house.
