Functional Living Room

Dawn Futrell's free time is earmarked for jewelry making and sewing, not interior designing. She's enlisted the Design on a Dime team to bring both form and function to her living room. Not permitted to paint, host Kristan Cunningham brings color and interest to the walls in an alternative way. Spencer Anderson fashions a work table with storage, and Dave Sheinkopf builds a better coffee table and visits a wood refinisher. The team must bring cohesion, style and storage to this living room with a budget of only $1,000.
