John and Elizabeth Hrovat are in absolute disagreement over decorating their nearly empty living room. Host Michael Payne outlines the problem areas: formal vs. informal, loveseats or sofas, whether or not to have a TV in the room and whether or not to leave the existing fireplace surround and hearth the way it is. Payne draws a plan for the Hrovat's living room that will incorporate both their needs. When finished, the once empty room is full of intimate conversational seating areas in handsome fabrics and an accent wall that really makes the fireplace stand out.
