On the HGTV show Celebrity IOU, A-listers team up with the property brothers to make life-changing renovations for their loved ones. Past episodes include Drew Barrymore redoing her makeup artist's home, Kate Hudson gifting her mother-in-law a backyard makeover, and Halle Berry transforming her mentor's home. In this week's episode, not only did Laurence Fishburne perform an act of kindness, but he also set an interior design trend.
In Season 7 Episode 9, 'Laurence Fishburne's Foolproof Surprise,' The Matrix actor tasks Johnathan and Drew Scott with helping him build a backyard retreat for his long-time friend. Though the entire makeover is stunning, we were most impressed by the transformation of the porch from a simple platform to an entire outdoor living room and kitchen. The space features a dining table complete with cushioned seats, a grill, a marble countertop for preparing food, and countless decorative vases filled with beautiful flowers. Fishburne's design is at once functional and beautiful.
