After: Courageous color choices like lovely dark blue walls that surround the room with elegance and raspberry red furniture and pillows plus gold chairs and drapes convert the lackluster space into an oasis of color.
Teresa has done things by the book her whole life, but in reality, she's a funky, modern woman who's never had the chance to express herself. She's now with a new husband in a new home and he's totally supportive of whatever she wants; however, she finds it difficult to break out of her conservative past so she seeks the help of host Jane Lockhart.
