Patrick would like to surprise his homemaker wife Judy with a special room where she can relax and escape from it all. The couple have been married for six years and have three children. Judy doesn't have a lot of time or resources to remodel the house. However, Patrick knows that his wife would love to have their master bedroom decorated in a Southeast Asian motif. Enter While You Were Out's designer Chayse Dacoda, who comes to the rescue with carpenters Andrew Dan-Jumbo and Leslie Segrete. To transform Patrick and Judy's blah bedroom into a Thai-styled chamber of serenity, the team builds a canopy bed with wood supports. Leslie gets to work on several sewing projects, including silk curtains and flowing silk panels for the canopy, a new duvet cover and pillows, and a new chair cover. To enhance the lighting ambience, Andrew installs Thai-styled sconces on the wall behind the bed and makes an umbrella light out of an existing ceiling light. To get her out of the house, Patrick arranges for Judy to enroll with her sister in a two-day home design course at an out-of-town facility called Faux Filled Dreams. Our secret cameraman is there, posing as an employee filming content for the design center's Web site. In the meantime, the While You Were Out crew is hard at work refining the Asian romance theme, but the sconces need an electrician's help to work safely, and the sewing takes time. Will Judy accept the changes with enthusiasm, or will she banish Patrick to the desert island in her soul? Tune in and find out!
