Episode overview
Fun and functional ideas for decorating children's rooms fill today's show. With the aid of the telestrator, Christopher revisits some of the simple and clever ideas used in kid's room re-dos from past seasons.

Christopher next builds a canopy headboard made from plywood, batting, and half of a sports umbrella. At LA's Enchanted Attic store, co-owners Ken Appel and his wife, Sue Tornetta discuss the inspiration behind their unique handmade and hand painted furniture they design for their family owned business. Kathy Peterson, crafts designer, shares some creative freehand and stenciling techniques usable in painting your own festive furniture.
