Kent and Joanne Takemoto are in dispute over their living room furnishings. Host Michael Payne outlines the problem areas: the style of the furniture, the fireplace and the overall style of the room. He draws a plan for the Takemoto's living room that blends both Kent and Joanne's needs. When finished, the room perfectly blends Joanne's desire for Zen minimalism with Kent's wish for a cabin retreat.
