Michelle and her husband Sundown recently had their third child. Michelle is on maternity leave but will be returning to work in a few months. Sundown works from home, but his loft space is not very organized, and he needs an area that will help him focus on his tasks amid taking care of a new baby and his two young sons. To get Sundown more organized, Michelle contacted While You Were Out to create an ideal office space for her husband. Designer John Bruce envisions the room from a child's perspective and wants to take the room to a whole new level of design. To help change this stark-looking office space into a "Secret Garden," John enlists carpenters Andrew Dan-Jumbo and Leslie Segrete. The trio will paint the room a hunter green, and create a metaphoric office desk that contains a special hide-away for all his electrical cords. They will also replace the existing light fixtures with beehive-shaped hanging lamps, and create tall grass made of felt, complete with felt animals. Michelle has enlisted Sundown's best friend Rick to get him out of the house for the next two days, convincing her husband that he would have a great time visiting Rick in Chicago. Questions are bound to arise about how well Michelle thinks she knows her husband. Can the While You Were Out crew bring this secret garden to life before he returns?
