Paul and Sherilyn Jackson have been married for thirteen years and enjoy pasttimes such as collecting television memorabilia and cooking. Unfortunately, their office and garage have become so cluttered that it's hard for them work, let alone have any fun. The garage is filled with sporting equipment and even a pile of rocks, while the office is overrun with books, papers and boxes. The homeowners set to work on the clutter, where for the most part, they turn out to be the ideal purgers. Although there is some debate with Paul over his piles of television scripts and other memorabilia, the two for the most part seem to understand that things have to change. A conversation with Sherilyn reveals that she just didn't know where to get started, but had a breakthrough and decided to call after seeing an episode of the show on TV. Meanwhile, designer Kelli Ellis sets to work on the redesign of the rooms. The office is given a new bookshelf, a lazy Susan, an add-on to the desk, a memo-board and a swiveling TV display. The garage is completely redone with four separate zones for laundry, gardening, exercise and storage space. There are even special displays for Paul's television items.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
