Hide CaptionShow CaptionFor more than a quarter of a century, Phyllis has tried to maintain a living environment she and her family could enjoy. However, the furniture and creaky flooring now span three decades, and the space has lost its formal appeal.
Carlton and Phyllis Taffes' living room is full of pillows, old relics and unexplainable furnishings. Phyllis has always dreamed of a formal space, but Carlton won't throw anything away.
