Oprah Surprises Iyanla Vanzant With Tricked Out Home Make-Over [VIDEO]
including her award-winning OWN show. Realizing a dream she thought was lost forever, she recently purchased a new house in Maryland, but it needed work and a floor-to-ceiling overhaul to fix some pretty major design challenges.
From the black floors and ornate chandelier in the foyer to the cranberry walls in the dining room and the misplaced kitchen island, Nate and Iyanla assess the home’s many design elements that need changing. Using Iyanla’s “vision book” for inspiration, the two work together (not always seeing eye-to-eye) on a master design plan for a dream home reflective of Iyanla’s life and personality.
Nate, his design team and a contractor work quickly to gut and redo all three floors of Iyanla’s 7,000 square foot house, before the big reveal. Overcoming numerous challenges and some mishaps, the team turns Iyanla’s vision into a reality-a vision that includes a craft room, soap room, library, “man cave” for her boyfriend and even a prayer/meditation room.
In an emotional unveiling, Oprah and Nate reveal to Iyanla the stunning final results of the epic makeover. With some help from her friends, Iyanla finally has the personal sanctuary she dreamed of and has been working for all these years.
