Actress Emma Roberts teams up with Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott to surprise her family friend, Aunt Mela (affectionately Aunt “Moo”), with a new custom kitchen on Celebrity IOU. Mela purchased her home four years ago, but it’s evident by the condition of the kitchen that the property was a poorly done house flip. Together, they turn the home and its entryway into a safe, up-to-code space with one-of-a-kind details.

Aunt Mela has been in Emma’s life since she was born and is a constant source of support for Emma’s mom. She's also fostered countless animals, runs her own salon and even creates wigs and headpieces for cancer patients. “The emotion and love you can feel in here, I can’t even express it,” cries Aunt Mela during the reveal. “I’m so blessed. I’m so grateful.”

Mela was never fond of the gray tile in the kitchen. As well, her appliances were never properly installed and the cabinets were crooked and discolored. The demo crew even found a live electrical wire hidden in a closed wall — very dangerous.

New green cabinets make a statement in Mela’s eclectic kitchen. Emma and the design team selected a variety of brass knobs and drawer pulls to add even more character to the space. Over the sleek gas range, the vent hood is wrapped with a Roman clay finish. From floor to ceiling, there’s nothing “builder’s basic” about this kitchen.
