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.
