Kristen has excellent taste in home decor. She has decorated every room in her house, except her husband Zig's home office. Kristen has bravely decided to let the While You Were Out team take a crack at it. To get Zig out of the house, his best friend tells him they've won a trip to an Oregon dude ranch. While Zig rides the range, our cameraman follows to gather information for the pop-quiz portions of the show, telling Zig he's filming them as contest winners for the Rock Spring Ranch web site. Since Zig likes to soak in the sun across the border in Mexico when he and Kristen are on vacation, interior designer Chayse Dacoda, along with the talented carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo and handyperson Leslie Segrete, transform this drab office into a grand Mexican officina. To do this, Andrew creates a new desk that suits the unusual shape of the room, and a bench for relaxing and reading under the windows. Chayse has chosen many different colors to paint the all-white room for that perfect Mexican mood. However, as the deadline creeps closer, and the design is very different from what Kristen had imagined, she begins to question whether this room makeover was such a good idea. Watch to see if Zig will be pleased with his new office, and if Kristen will be happy with the outcome.
