When Michael and his wife Nancy moved into their house, they enjoyed relaxing in their "Arizona room," a bright and sunny space that overlooks their verdant backyard. However, since welcoming a new baby into their lives, things have drastically changed: traveling and home redecorating are no longer priorities, and one of their favorite spaces has become an eyesore. To change things up a bit, Michael turns to While You Were Out to transport a bit of Europe into their child-proofed home. Designer Chayse Dacoda will transform their Arizona Sun Room into a Roman bath. To create this European feeling, Chayse will infuse an abundance of fabrics into the room while leaving the furniture intact. Handyperson Leslie Segrete will have the colossal task of sewing for hours, while carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo will create his own masterpiece by constructing Roman pillars out of wood. To get Nancy out of the house for a couple of days, Michael enlisted her best friend Deborah to take his wife to a resort in Sedona, Arizona. Our Secret Shooter will keep tabs on the women while they're enjoying themselves. In the meantime, Michael thinks he knows Nancy extremely well, but watch to see how many prizes he can win.
