You can add life to a room with a new coat of paint, a new rug under your feet and more storage space above. Pat and Jodi show how to do a one-room makeover by adding shelving, new wall paint and new carpet.

Next, they discuss carpeting and talk about what works best in the room they're working in. They also talk about how to select the right carpet for room usage.
