Urban Outsiders : Episode HUOUT-104 -- More Projects »
A year ago ex-Marines Jason and Renee Tatum bought a newly-built home on the outskirts of Los Angeles. They chose everything from the window trims to the floors, but when it came to the outside, they ran out of dollars and ideas. They want a spa-like sanctuary away from the stresses of their busy lives, and host Matt James has to use all his imagination to transform this small space.

Before: The "mud pit"
Next: After: A palm-enhanced urban spa
Before: Jason affectionately calls their small, ultra-bare space the "mud pit." What they'd love to have is a place where they can relax after work and find some solace, and Renee would especially like it to be spa-like. She likes the large brick wall that surrounds it, so Matt needs to preserve the brick-wall look while still providing focal points and greenery to break up its massiveness.
