Ryan's got some big news for his wife, Susanna. Not only will he be surprising her with a new bedroom makeover courtesy of While You Were Out, but he also wants to tell her that he is ready to start a family. To make this happen, Ryan conspires with Susanna's closest friends to take her to Naples, Fla. for a girls' weekend away.
While You Were Out designer Stephen Saint-Onge is inspired by Ryan and Susanna's love of whimsical fairy tales, and plans to transform the room into one fit for a prince and his princess. The design is for a convertible, dual-function bedroom that can also serve as a baby nursery. With the help of carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo, Stephen transforms the couple's waterbed into a gorgeous poster bed; carpenter Leslie Segrete works on making window treatments, pillow shams, and a duvet. Leslie also helps Ryan make a stuffed teddy bear.
How will Susanna react? Will she faint (which she has been known to do)? Might this magical fairy tale bedroom turn into an unhappy ending?
