(light escalating music) - welcome back to design bros. - we're justin and zack, and we have just completedthe interior design on neal's home. neal, three week's ago, he is a single, young professional, came to us wanting to createa more lived-in bachelor vibe. - something more him,

and i really think we executed it. - yeah. - i'm excited to showhim the final product. - my girlfriend moved out a few weeks ago, and i just want to makesure the place is 100% me. - okay, neil, are you ready to see yournew, redesigned home? - (laughs) oh, yeah. - [zack] (laughing) oh,look at that bad boy.

- [neil] wow. - yeah, there's actuallyno work on the outside. all the redesigning is inside. - yeah. it's just fun to do thewhole cover your eyes thing. (laughs) - let's go inside. let's go see. so, first off, we have the kitchen. go look in that fridge. - look in it neil.

get ready to get excited. - [neil] oh, my gosh. - [justin] right. do you see that? - [neil] yeah. - [zack] so, we noticed at first you had a full-stocked fridge. so, what we did is we tookout all the unnecessary stuff and just stuck to the necessities. - yeah, yeah. who doesn't like beer?

and, uh, yeah. i guess ketchup's nice second favorite condiment to sriracha. - so, neil, what we didin here is we simplified. - mm-hmm. we saw that you originallyhad your mattress on a four-end bed frame, so we got rid of that, and we replaced yourcomforter with a sheet that has been freshlyurinated on by a cat,

you know, to give it character. - [zack] we also strippeddown all the curtains, took down the wall art, added about 9 pounds of dirty laundry to give it a nice, lived-in vibe. you know? - is this my laundry, or-- - give it a try. sit on it. - go ahead.

yeah, yeah, yeah.- [zack] sit on the bed. it's nice. - [neil] this is too much. - [justin] yeah. - [zack] this is toomuch for me right now. - neil, check out your new living room. - (shouts) whoo. (laughs) - isn't this amazing? look how much space.

there's so much space in here. - it's, it's, uh, really minimal. - so, what we did is we really loved these gray walls that you already had. so, what we did is wegot rid of all the colors to just make this vibrant gray just pop. - and we got rid ofyour really comfy couch and bought you one ofthese off a yard sale. ever see one of these?

- i think this looks like aspaceship chair or something. - what if i have peopleover, like, a girl? - so, neil, this is you, this is the girl, and all you have to dois a little bit of that. - [zack] see what's happening? it's easy. - so, neil, bad news, good news. - what? - we actually went $1,200 over budget. - sorry.

- this cost $2,000? - no, no, silly, theredesign did not cost $2,000. but this did. - check it out.- [justin] (shouts) look at this. flat screen tv. we got the espn package.we got nfl network. we got nba league pass. we got mlb. we got hbo.

look at this thing. look at this thing. - oh (beep). (shouts) - the tv actually cost $2,500. - but after we sold all of the furniture, we were able to buy thepurchase of his dreams. hey, we did a good job. - [neil] i was a littleworried at the beginning, but they really came through.

i got this sick tv. it's so big. i really think that i'm going to be able to get over michelle right now. it's just amazing. zack and justin, you did it again. thank you. i have a sick new tv and life's perfect. (techno music)
