Brother vs. Brother
Season 6, Episode 2
California Kitchens
Hello, San Francisco! This season, we landed in one of the hottest real estate markets in the country. We reinstated the traditional Brother vs. Brother rules: We each buy, renovate, and sell a property, and the brother with the biggest net profit wins, with all proceeds going to charity. This time around, we added an extra layer to our brotherly competition. Because houses sell so quickly in the Bay Area, we bought ours online, sight unseen—unprecedented craziness for Brother vs. Brother!
For our second challenge of Season 6, we renovated the kitchens in both homes. Read on to learn about our inspiration and the design details we’re particularly proud of.

DREW’S CANYON HOUSE
My California modern ranch vibe is in full effect, from top to bottom! I lit things up with higher ceilings, an additional skylight, and a bigger window peeking into the backyard, all of which maximize the available natural light. And once the wide-plank flooring was installed over a solid new subfloor, it was time to focus on the design details.
Drew's Before & After
JONATHAN’S HILLTOP HOUSE
Not to sound dramatic, but this is one of the best kitchen renos I’ve done … ever. And that’s, in part, because it’s one of the biggest! We flipped the living room and kitchen areas—which itself was no small feat—then completely removed the tiny bathroom and created a spacious powder room out of the front hallway closet. Throughout the entire space, I continued my eco-chic theme.
