| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Vafal's reality recap edition. I'm your host, Nick, joined by my wife. We are finally at the lake. Or heaven. Or heaven. Yeah. If you're watching on YouTube, we look like we're in heaven, this is going to be our future studio. Yes, we built a studio in the house that we built at the lake. It's going to be green. |
| 0:37.9 | It's going to look very much like the L.A. one. You're going to be like, oh, my God, where are they? Where are they? We can't tell the difference. But we're making it work today. And like every day, we're just trying to survive. But it's really a dream to be finally here at the lake. It's pretty much done. It's like, it's like 90% done. |
| 0:53.9 | The outside isn't fully, you know, they're still like, we were like, we don't care. |
| 0:57.3 | We're coming up. |
| 0:57.9 | Yeah. be finally here at the lake. It's pretty much done. It's like, it's like 90% done. The outside isn't |
| 0:54.7 | fully, you know, they're still like we're like, we don't care. We're coming up. Yeah. |
| 0:58.2 | Yeah. Yeah. Well, like, what was your first reaction walking in that it's been so long. You guys have been waiting for this forever. Like, well, yeah, like, it's exciting. Take my breath away. |
| 1:07.5 | This is exactly what I picked out. |
| 1:09.0 | Well, every day we had our parents |
| 1:10.5 | like send us pictures |
| 1:11.3 | because they've been kind of managing the project. |
| 1:13.4 | It's been weird because like we were up here for Christmas and we haven't been up here since. And they basically left for Christmas and then they started construction like a few weeks later. We haven't been back. And then like it's a whole brand new house. And so it's kind of trippy. |
| 1:27.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:28.3 | It's stunning. |
| 1:29.1 | It looks incredible. |
| 1:31.0 | Natalie, were you running around being like, oh my God, yes, this looks exactly how I thought? |
| 1:35.5 | Yeah, like last night after Nick, Nick was putting River down and I kind of just like walked around and opened all the drawers and looked at all like the, you know, like handles and pulls on the drawers and the cabinets and, you know, all the little details that I thought were just like, whatever, throw this in there. And it's like, no, this is actually, like every little piece matters, you know, and it's, so it's been. They bet some of the hardware in the kitchen this morning. I don't know if you noticed, but they look really good. Natalie did a lot of the, like the interior design on all like the finer details, the cabinets, |
| 2:06.2 | the hardware, you know, just the love. |
| 2:08.5 | That was all Natalie. |
| 2:09.7 | I basically came up with the layout design. |
| 2:13.2 | So it was surreal for it to come together. |
| 2:15.2 | How does it feel to like kind of like be able to like walk into this like vision that you've had for so long? It's well, it's great. Now it's like, you know, today we're like moving in. So today it's like now the vision of all the furniture that we've like all the mood boards and all the like AI mocking up Photoshop whatever, you know, rug and couch on top of this with these side tables or those side tables. Like now we're going to see all of that in real life, which is going to be crazy. Someday we will share it all with y'all. We don't know when, but soon. We're going to enjoy it for a moment. But we got to get this show on the road because we do have to go move into our house and really start enjoying it. We also have a jam, jam packed episode. Jam packed episode. |
