To shorten their extremely long commute to and from work, Barb and Evan moved out of the suburbs and into the city. But the economics of this move meant they had to trade in their brand-new, spacious digs for a 100-year-old row house that needed lots of work. To save money, the intrepid couple decided to don their safety glasses and sledgehammers and do it themselves. After a year had gone by, they realized they had bitten off more than they could chew. Their house was still in shambles and they had run out of money, ideas and patience.

The weary twosome asked me to come in and help them out, before they changed their minds about the house and ran screaming back to the 'burbs. They hoped I could finish off their bedroom so they could get some sleep and have at least one room in their home completed. I gathered together my crew and geared up to create a divine master bed and bath.
