Host Constance Ramos decides on a new color palette that still incorporates orange, but a more pleasing, lighter shade. In addition, she chooses complimentary colors of blue and espresso brown. The lower cabinets are replaced with a huge, streamline desk, while new glass shelving adds plenty of storage space. A new cork board is a colorful addition to the space, providing a place to pin up Jeff's papers, as well as act as a backdrop for inspirational words.

Constance's Color Tips:

• Clashing colors create a visual distraction that can be a roadblock to efficiency.
• When looking for a more sophisticated color, choose one that's shaded, which means black has been added to it.
