Chris and Mara have ears for music. Mara brings music and faith to others as a pastor's secretary and Chris works at home as a video game sound designer. Movies and games have become unintentional elements of décor in this multimedia home. The couple spent a lot of time putting their own stamp on their home and now want guidance for the finishing touches. With the Home Mavens' help, the family hopes to organize their media, finish the master bedroom and make their home more fun and comfortable.
To help Mara cook on a budget without sacrificing flavour, Cooking Maven Deborah shared a Marinated Beet Salad Recipe.

To create accent pieces for the bedroom, Décor Maven Wanda and Chris used lace and spray paint to create a beautiful design.
Wanda and Chris transformed a rusted iron piece found at a local flea market into a beautiful headboard to enhance the appeal in the bedroom.
Using two bookcases and a TV stand, Home Maven Patrick created an entertainment centre and added a picture to a track for a decorative way to reveal or conceal the family's big TV.
Wanda and Mara hand stitched colourful doilies onto curtains to create a cottage-like look for the bedroom.
