Windy City Rehab

After Alison designed their kitchen, her friends are back for a second round, but this time it's for their entire house; the project turns tense when their contractor cuts corners, delaying the project and pushing their budget to the max.

Alison is on board when a client decides to be the general contractor on his own project, but a subcontractor mistake costs him thousands; Alison must design on an even tighter budget and convince him to trust the design process.

Alison is granted full design freedom to expand a family's historical home, and it's a dream job until the homeowners get an eviction notice from their short-term rental.

Alison goes big and takes on a full renovation of her own Spanish-style villa, finding pieces from across the globe to take it to the next level; her stress soars, however, when she tries to find the time to stay in Vegas to get the job done right.

Alison has her hands full with two 100-year-old projects: a suburban phase one overhaul and a city rental property that's barely standing; she faces a tough decision when one project takes a turn that could cost her business.

Alison is given four months to design the top floors of a city condo, but things get complicated when the city code requires a second exit that heavily delays the project and uses up the design budget from the start.

Alison's best friend, Christy, and her fiancé are battling over budget; she wants fancy, but he wants to lower costs; they bring in Alison to mediate; she must find a way to make both sides agree without compromising the design.

A client's project is right up Alison's alley: a converted single-family home with history and high-end finishes; the pressure is on when a one-year deadline is set to get the job done, and he tells Alison he's moving in whether it's ready or not.
