Dan Walsh knows that he is married to a one-in-a-million woman. Laurie is a devoted wife and mother who always puts her family before herself. Dan wants to give something back to his loving wife by turning their awkwardly arranged bedroom into a modern and comfortable retreat.

Before: Bland Bedroom

Next: After: Grand Platform Bed

Dan and Laurie’s bedroom is huge. It is so big and cavernous that they’ve had a hard time finding the ideal layout. The couple is also tired of their dated country-style furniture.
