Homeowners Tricia Kaiser Ghalam and Joe Ghalam have no time to worry about decorating their living room — they're about to become first-time parents. After the baby comes, they'll be having lots of company, so it is important to them to have a place to entertain the baby's visitors. The furniture in their living room is old, and the room is rather sparse. They found a look they'd love to have for their space. It's a bright, airy room filled with French antiques, rich textiles and Asian accents. The problem is the price tag is a little too rich — it costs more than $33,000.

Everything in this space is a conversation piece — from the Old World coffee table and Asian screens to the silk taffeta drapery. They all come together to create a traditional, yet playful room.

The Double Take team–makeover designer Michele Addey, budget shopper Halili Knox and carpenter Jamie Schmitt–roll up their sleeves and get to work re-creating this international design for less than $2,500.
