But Margaret has had a hard time downsizing and quickly filled up the garage and pool house with her belongings--and now she's invading Niecy's family room and closet! Niecy wants her mom to have a space to call her own, but she also wants to be able to decorate her home the way she wants for the first time in her adult life. See if the team can find a way for the two to co-exist in harmony as they makeover the pool house and garage for Margaret and create a warm and inviting family room for Niecy and her kids.

Something's gotta give in the Thordarson household. Dad Tom is a hoarder who is overly attached to everything in his home, especially his collection of inherited antiques.
