Elsbeth's Home Office

Friends and business partners, Elsbeth and Bobbi, want to take their new business initiative, “Project X,” to the big time. However, before they can reveal it to the general public, they need a place to get their business plan in order. Bobbi has found the perfect spot - in Elsbeth’s house. Designer Melanie Martin helps Elsbeth learn the fundamentals of good home office design and Elsbeth works overtime to get a good grade.

Now it's your turn!
