Los Angeles, CA - Beloved actress Fran Drescher has executed what is being considered the wildest home renovation in the history of HGTV's Celebrity IOU. Collaborating with the renowned design duo Drew and Jonathan Scott, Drescher secretly renovated her housekeepers' home, leaving them astonished by the incredible transformation.

Known for her generous heart, the star of the TV series "The Nanny" expressed her immense gratitude to her housekeepers, Ramón and Angélica, stating, "There's your biological family, and then there's your logical family. And I think they are my logical family. We can totally share each other's sorrows, difficulties, and joys."

Over the course of a month, the Scott brothers and Drescher worked tirelessly to address significant damages caused by a termite infestation in Ramón and Angélica's 1920s craftsman-style home located in Hollywood, California. The property, stripped of its original character by previous owners, required both functional and stylistic updates.

Drew Scott commented on the monotonous furniture and dull color palette in the living and dining areas, saying, "Everything looks dull." However, as the renovation progressed, it became clear that the challenges extended beyond aesthetics.

The team discovered unsafe structural issues in the roof, walls, and floor due to termite damage, a complete lack of insulation, and shoddy maintenance work that involved covering damaged wood with new wood on the roof. Drescher, visibly distressed, commented, "This is what we call, in my father's house, a real work-from-home job."

Despite the unexpected challenges, the Scott brothers rallied a formidable team to complete the renovation and rebuild the compromised structure. The living and dining areas now boast a fresh color palette of white and cream, with classic ceiling ornaments enhancing the home's character. The kitchen features custom cabinets and a blue and white tile backsplash, paying homage to the family's Mexican heritage.

Upon revealing the final result, Ramón and Angélica were delighted with the transformation, and Drescher expressed her joy, saying, "I am thrilled to be able to give this gift to Ramón and Angélica."

The heartwarming episode, part of Celebrity IOU Season 4, not only showcases the incredible renovation skills of the Scott brothers but also the deep bond between Drescher and her housekeepers, proving that sometimes, chosen family is just as important as biological family.
