Interior designer Grace Mitchell and her team combine unexpected personal elements, shocking wallpaper and even a windmill to turn Trista and Mark's Fort Worth house into a home that tells their story in a touching and uniquely personal way. Grace and her crew have their work cut out for them with a house that needs a new roof, front door and siding and has a massive living room, a tiny kitchen and a lifeless entryway. Grace turns a book about Mark's ancestors, who founded Abilene, Texas, into the centerpiece of the new design, and she incorporates Trista's love of gardening and cooking with a bright green backsplash, custom artwork and bright, picnic-themed wallpaper.

Grace and her team are tasked with finding more space for a couple whose home doesn't fit their deep love of cooking and entertaining. The sitting room is converted into a dining room and a "Party Pantry" is created with 3D wallpaper and a wall full of utensils.

Grace Mitchell and her team transform a cramped cottage into a bright, welcoming celebration of family and hope.

Grace Mitchell meets a couple who recently purchased a Midcentury Modern lake house with a rich history but in desperate need of some work. She begins by creating a unique kitchen backsplash made from the wood of a basketball court as a tribute to where the couple first met before giving Mr. Charlie the hefty task of hanging custom canoe light holders from the 16-foot ceilings. The exterior of the home also gets an entire revamp that turns the formerly decrepit party house into a family home rich with the couple's love for each other and for the water.
