So she and James, along with their best friend Petey, are ready to make a beautiful room, while making the homeowner's happy. They create a good balance by creating a hidden passageway with a bookcase, making the most of the high ceilings by adding built-in shelving, doing custom woodwork, and sprinkling in a few accessories to make it a little mysterious. And for their signature touch, Heather and James use a reclaimed object in each project they create. Will their homeowners be happy?
